Zhang Yuanshi and Zhang Jin found a scapegoat, thinking they could escape.
Unexpectedly, this matter was brought to the attention of the emperor. Long Yan was furious. Regardless of the situation, he first detained Zhang Jin and gave the qualification of supplying medicine to Jiangji Medicine Store. He also ordered a strict investigation of the matter and took responsibility for it. The person investigating was His Highness Xiao Yan.
Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Half a month after the outbreak of the pox epidemic, Zheng Guan came back.
Knowing that his master and Mrs. Jiang were in the south of the city and isolated inside, Zheng Guan followed Gao Shi to meet Ji Yunchen.
"They moved their base to Qinshan at the junction of Jingbei Road and Xijiang Road. We have found out the secret workshops deep in Qinshan."
The Qinshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from north to south, and the terrain is complex. If I hadn't followed him this time, it would have been difficult to find this workshop. It was no worse than Hongze Mountain in terms of concealment.
The only drawback is the increased distance the ore must be transported and the risk of discovery.
Ji Yunchen clenched his fists excitedly: "It will be easier if we know where their lair is. Let's follow the clues and find out where the refined iron they produce is shipped. We can close the net by finding out who the owner of this workshop is."
"I've left two people there to keep an eye on it, but it's best to send more people over," Zheng Guan said.
Ji Yunchen looked at Gao Shi: "Now almost all of Master Gu's manpower is in the isolation area and cannot be used. Gao Shi, you bring a few guards from the mansion and you must keep an eye on them."
Gao Shi accepted the order and retreated.
Zheng Guan then asked: "Your Highness, can the pox epidemic in the capital be controlled?"
On the way back, I heard that a pox epidemic broke out in the capital, and the situation was very bad. Now my Lord and Madam Jiang are in the most dangerous place.
"Don't worry, Madam Jiang's treatment is quite effective. Your adults are still fine." Even if he gets infected, Jiang Wanning won't die as long as he is here.
Maybe it's because time has passed and Ji Yunchen's mental endurance has become stronger.
As long as no one dies.
"By the way, Zheng Guan, your family says you are the most attentive and clever. I have a case here. Let's see if there is a way to solve it."
He hadn't told Gu Zhouting about Peng Xuewu's death. Gu Zhouting was already under great pressure. He was too embarrassed to trouble Gu Zhouting anymore and had been looking for clues by himself.
He told the whole story of the poisoning case in detail.
Zheng Guandao: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I think the gambling shop is the most suspicious. Peng Xuewu is a gambler. Why would he dare to do such a shameful thing? Either for profit or because he was threatened. And this temptation or threat to him His people must be people from gambling houses or people who frequent gambling houses. Because they know Peng Xuewu well enough and know his weaknesses."
Ji Yunchen slapped his forehead: "Why didn't I think of that?"
It is really a word that wakes up the dreamer.
"Let's go to the gambling house." Ji Yunchen said and left.
"His Royal Highness, according to the current situation, the gambling house should be closed down. I think it is better to keep an eye on the gambling house secretly. If it is the people of the gambling house who did it, then there must be something unusual about them."
"Your Highness, it would be better to leave this case to your subordinates. I am good at tracking and spying on you."
If we could find out the mastermind behind this, it would be a relief for you.
Ji Yunchen thought for a moment: "That's fine, it'll be hard on you. Also, you have to be careful. The pox epidemic is still dangerous at the moment."
Let the good people do what they are good at!
"My subordinates will be careful."
"If you need help, come to me anytime."
In the backyard of the gambling house, Shen Jingshan was leisurely playing with the birds.
The subordinate sent a secret message.
Shen Jingshan took it apart, took a look at it, and smiled.
Bai Wu and the others have safely arrived at the secret stronghold in Qinshan.
Although this place is far from the mine, as long as the workshop can survive and the energy source continues to provide refined iron, it doesn't matter if it is further away.
It's a pity that the Hongzeshan stronghold was abandoned.
"Master Shen, Bohai County King seems to have given up and has not come out to hang out again today." said his subordinate.
Shen Jingshan sneered, Ji Yunchen only had this ability. Once Peng Xuewu died, Ji Yunchen was as at a loss as a headless fly.
When Gu Zhouting comes out of the quarantine area, it will be at least a month later. As soon as the city gate is opened, the people who participated in the killing of Peng Xuewu are allowed to leave the city immediately. By then, no matter how powerful Gu Zhouting is, he will not be able to find anything else. .
Shen Jingshan was smug and at ease.
Little did he know that his gambling house had been targeted by Zheng Guan.
The twentieth day of the pox outbreak.
The death toll gradually decreased and the number of infections began to decline.
The epidemic has reached an inflection point.
Everyone was excited and it can be said that their efforts saw the dawn of victory on this day.
At this time, Jiang Wan Ning fell ill.
She is infected.
The difference is that she was actively infected.
The infection occurred at this time because, firstly, there are no more critically ill patients, secondly, all doctors have rich treatment experience, and thirdly, people who have recovered from the infection have come back to help, and there is no shortage of manpower in the isolation center.
She could conduct her experiments with peace of mind.
Dr. Lu checked her pulse and sighed: "Master Jiang, you shouldn't test yourself. Your body is already weak. If you want to test it, you should let me do it."
"Master Gu has come to see you several times. I don't know how to deal with him next time."
Jiang Wan Ning is currently suffering from a high fever. She feels that the breath coming out of her nose is hot and her head is dizzy. The rash on her body is surprisingly itchy and cannot be scratched. It is quite painful.
"Doctor Lu, the vaccination method will also be used by the old, weak, women and children in the future. If a frail person like me is fine after vaccination, it further proves that this method is feasible, isn't it?"
"You, I have never seen anyone as bold as you." Dr. Lu was really convinced.
It is said that Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs. He had also seen doctors pricking needles on themselves in order to practice acupuncture, but he had never seen anyone infect himself with pox in order to study the method of vaccination.
"I am bold because I am confident. I will not do anything like risking my life in vain."
Jiang Wan Ning said confidently.
"Then...Master Gu comes again..."
"You are not allowed to tell him. It is said that I am researching a once and for all solution, and I have not been free in the past few days."
She didn't dare let Gu Zhouting know.
Jiang Wanning tried so hard to hide it, but Shen Yiming was quick to talk.
After being tormented by Jiang Wan Ning, Shen Yiming finally understood that if he wanted to leave here safely, he could not offend Jiang Wan Ning, let alone Mr. Gu.
So, when he saw Gu Zhou stopped to look for Jiang Wan Ning, he came forward to please him.
"Master Gu, are you looking for Master Jiang?"
"Well, I have something important to do with her."
Gu Zhouding came four times in two days, but never saw Jiang Wanning, which made him very uneasy.
"Master Gu may not be able to see Master Jiang for a while."
"How to say?"
"Don't you know, sir? Master Jiang is infected with pox."
Gu Zhouting's mind buzzed, and he went blank for a moment.
Is Wan Ning infected?
She was not in good health to begin with. She had been exhausted after fighting for 20 consecutive days. Now that she was infected, she was afraid that she would be in danger.
Gu Zhouting couldn't help but think about the worst.
