Soon, all the wells in Jinling Mansion were blocked by the government officials.
Under Yang Qingyuan's order, samples of well water from various wells were taken and sent to the Jinling Mansion Yamen.
After testing by Ji Mingzhu, who came all the way from Yangzhou, something abnormal was indeed found in it.
What fell into the well cannot be called poison, but a mixture of poison and epidemic. It is more like a virus in the modern medical sense. Yang Qingyuan calls it a "poison seed."
This kind of poisonous seed is not highly toxic, but once it enters the human body, it will absorb nutrients in the human body, take root, grow and grow, and then turn into a disease and kill people.
At the same time, after this kind of poisonous epidemic takes shape, it will also have a certain degree of transmissibility. Such an appearance consistent with the epidemic can completely conceal its essence, making it difficult for ordinary doctors to distinguish whether it is an epidemic or a poison.
In other words, it is a hybrid of plague, poison, and poison.
Ordinary doctors cannot crack this poison at all. To crack this poison, one must have extremely high attainments in medicine, medicine, poison, and poison.
The first three are easy to say, but the art of poison has not been spread since the first emperor of the pre-Qin Dynasty burned books and trapped witches, and few people knew about it.
Even Sun Shichang, a master of Central Plains medicine, Nandou, could hardly understand its secret.
Regardless of morality, this poison maker is indeed a peerless genius, able to integrate epidemics, poisons, and poisons into one.
Even now Ji Mingzhu, Tang Shenwei, and Li Binhu are assisting Sun Shichang, but it is difficult to crack the poison and develop an antidote in a short period of time.
Yang Qingyuan left the development of the antidote entirely to Sun Shichang, and he began to hold Jinling officials accountable.
After Yang Qingyuan arrived in Jinling, he issued seven epidemic prevention measures, the most important of which was that the water used at the entrance must be boiled.
They also strictly ordered the mayors of each city to organize people to boil water for disinfection.
However, in many places, subordinate officials are doing superficial work. Whenever the policemen and staff of Liumen and Jinling Mansion conducted random inspections, they would see a large number of people boiling water, and boiling water was being brought out in buckets.
At this time, Liumen and Jinling Mansion were seriously short of manpower, so they did not dwell on this matter for too long.
They also didn't expect that these subordinate officials would not even carry out the order to depose the envoy.
But it is precisely because they are subordinates that they dare to act so boldly.
Although there are often words about corrupt officials, abuse of officials and cruelty, officials and officials are two different things.
To put it simply, "officials" have grades and salaries. They are "officials appointed by the imperial court" directly appointed by the court, while "officials" are specific staff members who are subordinate to officials. Officials are pillars, officials are rubble, and officials are the backbone and backbone. Officials are branches and vines, officials are tigers and wolves, and officials are minions. As for the relationship between the two parties, it is even more interesting. "Officials" and "officials" are interdependent, scheming and wary of each other.
The "Book of Han: A List of Hundred Officials and Officials" written in the early Han Dynasty divided state officials into three categories, namely chief officials, chief officials and minor officials. However, these three categories can actually be divided into two major categories. The main differences between the two categories are: The boundary is the salary. Those with a salary of more than 200 dan are called "officials", and those with a salary of less than 200 dan are called "officials".
Converted to today, cadres below the division level cannot even be called officials...
Looking at the ninth-grade official positions, the ninth-grade official positions include the Ambassador of the Propaganda Department (the head of the Municipal Taxation Bureau), the prefectural official (the assistant judge of the Provincial High Court), the county inspector (the head of the County Public Security Bureau), and the Imperial College Classics (the book of Qingbei University Curator)…
These people, who have ridiculously great powers in the eyes of ordinary civilians, are the lowest of the nine ranks, the starting point for officials.
Those below them can only be regarded as officials.
Officials were also appointed by the imperial court during the Early Han and Later Han Dynasties, but after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they were completely eliminated from the official establishment of the imperial court.
In the current Da Zhou Dynasty, the salaries of officials are also included in the local financial funds, and are not called salaries.
Therefore, the first priority of being a local official in the Great Zhou Dynasty was to control these subordinate officials and make them use themselves.
Xue Wen, the prefect of Jinling, has just taken office not long ago, and has not even fully handed over the work, let alone control the Jinling area.
The seven high-intensity epidemic prevention strategies have made these subordinate officials feel lazy, which is why they have such negative consequences.
Yang Qingyuan immediately ordered all the subordinate officials who had caused bad consequences to be taken down and questioned.
Regardless, if one crime of dereliction of duty results in serious consequences, it is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
After purging the local grassroots governance forces, Yang Qingyuan handed over the epidemic prevention to Xue Wen, Yin of Jinling Prefecture.
He has more important things to do.
…
However, when Yang Qingyuan was preparing to investigate, an unexpected person came to Jinling.
"This is a humble position. Su Youming, Mingqiu Secretary of Dali Temple, has met your Excellency!"
Su Youming, who was ordered to come to Yangzhou as an imperial envoy, seemed a little uneasy at the moment.
Because standing in front of him was Yang Qingyuan, the founder of the Dali Temple Criminal Law Academy, the restorer of the Dali Temple, and the spiritual leader of the Dali Temple.
"You are a fourth-year student of Dali Temple Criminal Law College, right?
"Yang Qingyuan remembered him because Su Youming was quite talented in criminal investigation and inference and was accepted as a disciple by Di Zhiyuan.
"How's your eucalyptus check in Yangzhou going?"
Yang Qingyuan knew that Su Youming came to Yangzhou to track down a large number of missing women. Yang Qingyuan had already had a premonition about his sudden appearance in Jinling.
"Yes! I was originally investigating missing women in Yangzhou City, but I received an official document from the Liumen Branch of Jinling a few days ago. Most of the women rescued from Huangye Island in the Liuli Islands in the East China Sea were... It is on the missing list, so I came to Jinling to consolidate the files in order to deal with the two piles together."
After searching and searching, Su Youming discovered that the person behind this embarrassment was not simple, and there seemed to be a huge figure hidden vaguely.
"Blood River Sect!"
Yang Qingyuan put down the tea cup in his hand and calmly said a heart-stopping answer.
No matter who it is, the Blood River Sect is a big trouble.
The Blood River Sect plunders the blood essence of others for its own cultivation. Although it is not in line with the way of heaven, it is indeed far better than ordinary warriors.
As expected, Su Youming's qi-nurturing skills were not bad among the Mingqiu Sect, and he had taken over a lot of big guns. However, when he heard the name of the Blood River Sect, his body still trembled subconsciously.
With his level, he is qualified to have access to the old archives of Dali Temple, including records about the Blood River Evil Sect.
"I have also seen the tapes of missing eucalyptus in Yangzhou. It is different from the ordinary eucalyptus that collects flowers and abducts eucalyptus. Whether they are young girls or young married women, their appearance is first-class. . But the women who disappeared this time do not fit this characteristic."
Su Youming nodded, "Yes, we have counted all missing women, a total of 2,130 people. But apart from the fact that these people are all women, it is difficult to find common ground with the past trafficking of eucalyptus and flower picking." They are completely different. It seems that it is difficult to find anything in common between the missing women."
Yang Qingyuan held the copied file in his hand, his eyes calm, but there seemed to be dark waves surging in it.
"Of course we have something in common! These women are all under thirty years old, and their bodies are easy to give birth to..."
Su Youming: "..."
