In a dark cell, Qi Wencheng was handcuffed and unable to move. There were scars everywhere on his torso and limbs. All his teeth had been pulled out, and he could only survive on some gruel.
There was just a "squeak" sound, and the cell door was pushed open, and a man in official uniform walked in.
"Why are you sending people here? Isn't the case closed? Are you here to send me on my way?" Qi Wencheng said, spitting blood with a look of ridicule on his face.
"No, it's about the murder of thirteen members of your Qi family! I want to vindicate you." After a moment of silence, the visitor said calmly.
"Rehabilitate? Rehabilitate what? Sir, do you think it's interesting to tease a dying person like me?" Qi Wencheng said, looking at the visitor with a contemptuous look, and laughed loudly.
"How long have you been doing this? There was a time when a person like you stood in front of me and said he wanted to vindicate me, but what happened? Everything was just a trap!"
"All the evidence that I secretly hidden has been destroyed. I hate it, I hate myself for being so naive, I hate..." Qi Wencheng said, his expression became more and more excited, and he gritted his teeth and kept struggling. He stood there, as if he wanted to eat the person in front of him alive.
"You're right. In fact, I'm not here to vindicate you. I just want to use your hand to bring down someone. As for the murder of your Qi family, I don't care! Why, you want to fight with Will I cooperate?" The visitor sighed helplessly, then changed his face and said with a smile.
"If you don't want to, I'll leave immediately!" the person said, preparing to leave.
"Do you really want to overthrow the governor of Kaifeng?" Just as the visitor was about to open the door and leave, Qi Wencheng called him out.
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would I come to prison and waste my time with a dying man like you?" the visitor said, patting the dust on his official uniform with disgust.
"Okay, I promise you, I will cooperate with you!" Qi Wencheng said in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.
"Wise choice, tell me everything you know now." Seeing that Qi Wencheng agreed to cooperate, the visitor was overjoyed and quickly sent a Yamen servant to bring a chair and sit down opposite him.
"The thing is like this, that night..." Qi Wencheng's eyes flashed with hatred, and he began to tell the visitors the ins and outs of the case in detail.
"Well, very good, that's about it. Do you have anything else to add?" The visitor nodded and asked after hearing the ins and outs of the case.
"Actually, I also have a piece of key evidence hidden away. As long as I take it out, I can send the Kaifeng governor to hell." Qi Wencheng looked at the person who came and said slowly.
"Oh, what is it? Take it out quickly!" Seeing this, the visitor was overjoyed and asked eagerly.
"It was an account book that recorded all money transactions. The previous one was not complete."
"Where are the account books?" When the visitor saw this, his expression became more and more anxious. He couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Qi Wencheng's clothes and asked.
"I want you to swear that you will destroy the Kaifeng governor's family!" Qi Wencheng gritted his teeth and said every word.
"Okay, I swear that I will destroy the Kaifeng governor's family! You can say it now."
"Okay, that thing is hidden in the tablet in my ancestral hall!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid not many people can think of the place where you hide your things."
After the visitor got the answer he wanted, he left with satisfaction.
"Hahaha, Lin'er, Shuang'er, I have avenged you, your souls in heaven can rest in peace!"
When Qi Wencheng was the only one left in the cell, he cried and laughed, with tears streaming down his face, as if he was crazy.
After coming out of the prison, the previous man ordered his cronies to go to the Qi family ancestral hall to get the account books. Looking at the cronies leaving, he couldn't help but sneered: "Old guy, I don't want to occupy the position of Kaifeng Prefecture Yin even though I'm so old. Come on, let me help you!"
Under the arrangement of Zhang Runde, the Minister of Punishment, those on the list, just like the Kaifeng Prefect, were all impeached, and all the unjust, false and wrong cases they had covered up were uncovered!
As the saying goes, the people who know you best in the world are your enemies, and those who turn from friends to enemies are even more terrifying! In this way, under Yan Song's instruction, the Yan Party launched a purge of disobedient people in the team.
…
Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.
In the hall, Xu Wei gathered everyone together and spoke.
"The reason why I called you here today is because before this, the Governor's Mansion has received a letter from below, saying that there is an epidemic in some places."
"What? The epidemic happened so quickly!" Zheng Michang on the side couldn't help being shocked when he heard what Xu Wei said.
"Yes, according to Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, many residents in Chun'an County are suffering from dysentery, and the neighboring Jiande County is no exception! Some people even died of dysentery or diarrhea. The specific symptoms were first and foremost non-stop Diarrhea, then high fever all over the body, and then gradually fainting and never waking up..."
"These are the measures on how to prevent and control epidemics handed over by Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an. Take a look at them for yourselves." Xu Wei said and passed Hai Rui's information to everyone.
Ma Ningyuan on the side took it, opened it, and saw that it read: "Separate the sick people from the healthy people, and isolate the sick people's residences with lime, and do not allow healthy people to live with each other." The sick met in private. The bodies of those who died of dysentery were buried on the spot and were not allowed to be mortued."
"In addition, we encourage people not to drink raw water, but to drink boiled water instead, and supplement it with herbal treatments for dysentery. Only in this way can the spread of the disease be controlled!"
After Ma Ningyuan read the above content, he handed it to the next person. A quarter of an hour later, everyone in the hall had read through the methods of preventing and treating epidemics that Hai Rui had submitted previously.
"In my opinion, this method is feasible!" Gao Hanwen was the first to say.
"Well, I also think this method is very feasible." Seeing Gao Hanwen speak, Zheng Michang followed closely and said.
"I have no opinion."
"That's okay with me too."
"Then since everyone has no objections to this, let's implement it according to this law! The Governor entrusted me with such an important errand before leaving, and I can't live up to his expectations. Please." Xu Wei said, starting from He stood up from his seat and said in a deep voice.
…
"How long will it take to reach Zhejiang at the earliest?" Hu Zongxian raised the sedan curtain and asked the guards outside.
"Your Majesty, Governor, according to the current speed, we still need to pass through five stations along the way, and then transfer to the waterway. At the fastest, we can return to Zhejiang in five days."
"Well, I understand." Hu Zongxian nodded and said.
…
On the other side, Li Lisheng, the 85th master of Qingxu Temple, was leading his disciple Lu Zhou, following the people who had invited him to the capital.
"Master, this boat is so big and elegant! It must cost a lot of money, right?"
"Hmph, let me tell you, our Qingxu Temple has been rich before!" Li Lisheng said helplessly when he saw his apprentice looking like he had never seen the world.
"Oh, really? Master, are you lying to me?"
"Of course it's true. It's a long story. I'll let you tell it to me slowly. In the past..."
