Chapter 598 Key Issues
Early the next morning, three more people died in the refugee camp.
The power of the epidemic is beginning to gradually appear.
More than a day has passed, and the rice porridge with nectar added has not really cured the patient... Perhaps it is true as Fa Tuo said, many people are no longer hungry, and the dirty stones are no longer among the patients. They spread throughout the body, but for people who are seriously ill, even if they don't spread, they can't stop the passage of life.
In addition, it is even colder late at night, and people who are seriously ill are prone to die in their sleep... So in the early morning, the sound of chanting sutras for salvation rang out again in the refugee camp.
"If this continues, people will die."
In the light snow in the early morning, Ning Wushu put down the porridge bowl in his hand and said solemnly: "We can't wait too long... If there is no progress in the investigation tomorrow, I'm about to take action."
Fu Qingzhou glanced at her: "Directly use violence?"
"Directly use violence."
Ning Wushu nodded: " That Fa Tuo and the monks around him can be settled within ten seconds... My status is even more special. If something happens, there will be more people willing to protect me. Leave this matter to me. "< br>
This time, Fu Qingzhou did not refute and nodded lightly.
He was not sure whether there was anything else in the rice porridge that Fatu fed to the refugees.
The night is long and there are many dreams. If you can't find anything, you have to use violence.
More than an hour later, the defenders of Anyue City arrived.
Before, they sent some defenders to guard near Tianshou Village, but yesterday they saw that the refugee camp was very peaceful, and there were also needs in other places, so General Nachi led a large force to leave Tianshou Village.
But at this time, they came back again...bringing ten coffins.
Ten people have not died yet, but it is hard to say what will happen next. Maybe they will have to transport more coffins in a few days.
"General Chi."
Fatuo came out with a group of monks, folded his hands and saluted: "Thank you for your hard work, General Chi."
"It's nothing, the prefect has an order , you also spent money, it’s nothing for us to make a trip.”
Anyue City garrison general Chi Tiancong's face was full of exhaustion, and he jumped off his horse: "If it weren't for this situation, I would be too lazy to run... Tell me, where will the coffin be transported?"
Under the command of Fa Tuo, the defenders carried the coffins. Under the watchful eyes of the refugees, they transported ten coffins to the back of the monks’ tents. Then, together with several monks, they carried the coffins from last night to today. The four dead people were carried into coffins.
Fu Qingzhou and Ning Wushu have been squatting not far away and watching silently, watching the coffins being sealed, watching the families of the deceased crying loudly, watching the defenders of Anyue City moving the coffins. Several coffins were carried away again.
"If nothing else..."
Ning Wushu said softly: "Being buried in peace is indeed the final destination of life, the last wish of life, and the end of life. .”
Fu Qingzhou didn't say anything.
For him, a "modern man", burial is not particularly important.
In the era he lived in, cremation had been practiced for many years, and only some villages still retained the custom of burial - but Dayan was still an ancient feudal society after all, and there were such things as immortals, ghosts and gods, and people had no regard for nature. His admiration is also more profound, and of course he is more willing to be buried in the grave after death.
As Ning Wushu said, even those refugees who were in fear and confusion, after seeing these coffins, their eyes actually showed peace of mind, and they looked at Fa Tuo and others. As a monk, there was more gratitude in his eyes.
"Wait..."
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Fu Qingzhou's head, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Coffins?!"
He turned around suddenly and looked towards where the remaining coffins were placed, and saw only a few tall monks. I just finished checking the coffins, closed them, tightened my clothes, and left.
With calm and indifferent expressions on their faces, they strode away and... went into Fa Tuo's tent.
After a while, they left the tent again and went about their own things as if nothing had happened. Ning Wushu patted Fu Qingzhou on the shoulder from behind.
"What do you mean?"
She asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect that they hid the medicinal materials in the coffin?"
Fu Qingzhou looked to the other side again - Fatuo was still there Talk to General Chi.
"If we check immediately now, will we alert the enemy?" he asked rhetorically.
Ning Wushu nodded: "It's definitely not appropriate. It's clear sky and daylight now. If we break into the tent now, it will be too easy to be discovered. The respect of the refugees for the distressed monks is at its peak. If we say that there is something hidden in the coffin The medicinal materials are not only exposing the Disaster Sangha and saying that they are deceitful, but also tantamount to saying that General Nachi has colluded with them..."
"...Yes."
Fu Qingzhou calmed down and muttered: "And exposing this matter will at most expose that the monks in trouble are using medicine instead of miracles. It cannot prove that they are spreading the disease, let alone that they are spreading the disease." Guilty..."
"Also, we are not yet sure whether General Chi is involved. Exposing this matter at this time is equivalent to pushing him towards the enemy."
< br>Ning Wushu smiled slightly: "So, remain suspicious and continue to investigate. What we need to do now is to know what medicine they used and what the prescription was, and then inform Divine Doctor Liang about this."
Fu Qingzhou He didn't smile and nodded silently.
If the medicinal materials were really hidden in the coffin...
He looked deeply at General Chi.
At this time, General Chi had already led his men, pulled four coffins containing corpses, said goodbye to Fatuo, and embarked on the way back - when the epidemic was prevalent, these corpses It cannot be buried anywhere. It should be brought back to Anyue City and buried in a specific place.
“Wait!”
Fu Qingzhou’s eyes suddenly lit up: “There is a problem in Anyue City!”
Ning Wushu was shocked: "What did you say?"
"It's too late to explain... Sister Wushu, you stay here." Fu Qingzhou had already stood up: "I have to go over and find out what's going on!"
After saying that, he ducked out and followed the garrison convoy closely.
Although there are many people in the refugee camp, with his current strength, he deliberately hides his aura and figure, and avoids people, so no one will notice that he has disappeared.
In just a moment, like a breeze, he got under a carriage in the defenders' convoy, clinging to the bottom of the carriage like a gecko.
During the whole process, no one noticed him, and no one even glanced at him. Neither Fa Tuo nor General Chi noticed that there was one missing person in the refugee camp.
"Prescription...Sister Wu Shu is right, the prescription is the key!"
Fu Qingzhou secretly said: "According to current speculation, if the distressed monks need to refine the medicine, they need others. Delivering medicine; but what they do is extremely secretive, and the prescription cannot be easily leaked... But if the prescription is not leaked, how can others prepare the medicine and give it to them? "
"So, they must have a way? Send the prescription to a nearby place where the medicine can be prepared, and then someone else will deliver the medicine!"
"Judging from the time they have been in contact with people outside the refugee camp, it is very likely that they shipped it through rice transporters! The prescription is delivered, and the medicinal materials are delivered through the coffin! ”
"The prescription is estimated to be divided into two and three parts. It is even possible that the prescription must be destroyed once it is in someone's hands!"
"The matter of transporting the medicine in the coffin is so important. There must be someone who colludes with you to keep an eye on the whole process..."
He let out a breath: "If you find that person, you may be able to find the prescription, or find the person who... knows the prescription!"
