Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 578 Wujiagou Poisoning Case

"Captain, are there any alchemists in the capital?"

The captain thought for a moment and shook his head.

Snapped!

But Zhao Zheng's words were like a bolt from the blue, and became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Wu An.

The "holy power" carried by Zhao Zheng could no longer suppress the fear of the unknown in the heart of the village head Wu An.

"Ok?"

The tax guards focused their eyes on him and started staring at him again.

"What's wrong, Brother Wu?"

Zhao Zheng looked back in confusion, thinking that the tax guards were secretly doing something behind his back again. His brows slowly furrowed, and he began to consider whether he should deal with this group of determined imperial warriors first.

The captain noticed it and quickly stepped forward to support Wu An, and signaled Wu An to explain with his eyes.

The village head Wu An then said in a trembling voice: "Master Zhao, has a drought demon appeared in Wujiagou?"

The inexplicably hardened land is something that only occurs in years of drought.

The colorful soil particles and unpleasant smell are the harbingers of the legendary drought demon appearing and bringing plague.

As soon as the village head Wu An said this, a group of well-equipped tax guards subconsciously stared at the ground beneath their feet.

Then they all looked at Zhao Zheng.

Now, they finally woke up and had the same consensus.

That is, if there really is a drought demon, the only one in the world that can fight against the existence of such a deity is the Zhao family.

The emperor, no matter how high his position is, is still just a mortal.

Everyone expected Zhao Zheng to shake his head, but Zhao Zheng just smiled inexplicably.

He grabbed another handful of dirt from the ground, frowned, and didn't drop it until he squeezed the dirt into a ball.

"Hanba?"

"Maybe."

Under the warm summer sun, the air suddenly became chilling as these words fell.

The tax guards met Zhao Zheng's gaze and subconsciously began to dodge.

The only old man in the team was actively meeting Zhao Zheng's gaze, but suddenly he realized something and hurriedly asked his confidant to call for reinforcements.

"Brother Wu, please identify the person who is coming."

Sure enough, the captain guessed correctly. Zhao Zheng's next step was to interrogate all the people related to the Wu Eryi case.

There is no one involved in this case who can be tried, because no one has survived.

It can spread to all provinces and provincial governments, and even involve members of the royal family and remnants of the previous dynasty.

The Wu Eryi case involved the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, Yingtian Prefecture, and even the Ministry of Personnel.

As for why Zhao Zheng stayed with them, but was able to call all the relevant personnel without going through them.

As one of the first veterans transferred from Jinyiwei to tax guard, he has long been accustomed to the current tax guard team leader and is never surprised.

Anticipating the enemy's moves and the Zhao family are a natural match.

......

"Master Zhao, this well water is indeed contaminated! Drinking it for a long time could cause brain disease and damage to the internal organs. Children are especially susceptible to this. Stop drinking it immediately!"

"Master Zhao, I'm afraid that the crops irrigated with near-water irrigation in Wujiagou will have a poor harvest this year. In particular, although the rice in the fields has begun to form ears, nearly half of each ear is unstable, and large areas of the base leaves are rapidly withering."

"Master Zhao, to treat Wu Er's land, our students have calculated that at least three feet of topsoil will need to be removed. It will take approximately three years for the water quality of Wujiagou to recover."

"Master Zhao/Master Zhao, the people of Wujiagou need to be evacuated immediately!"

Sure enough, the relevant personnel arrived at the scene soon, but Zhao Zheng just asked them to wait.

Not until people from the Imperial Medical Service arrived did outstanding students from related majors at the Academy of Human Sciences arrive shortly thereafter.

The Imperial Medical Service mainly served the imperial power, and since the establishment of the Academy of Humanities, no students have officially graduated.

This is the first time they appear in the outside world.

Chongning and Xiaoqing naturally followed the personnel from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue to the scene.

But even with such a large group of people, almost everyone at the scene only understood the final conclusions of the two professionals responsible for the testing.

Before, they could only stand in the corner and watch a group of people doing inexplicable things.

How did this conclusion come about? Most people don't understand.

But I saw those integrated and unified medical terms and the way students from the Academy of Sciences addressed Zhao Zheng.

These people have to believe it.

As for Wu Er, he was naturally finally released from prison and saw the light of day.

"My family's land..."

Wu Er knew that he could not escape the death penalty, and he had tried to escape in order to survive.

But now, he learned that his own land had turned into such a sinful field, and had implicated all the elders and villagers in Wujiagou!

He just wanted to find a stone to hit himself to death on the spot.

But his decades of hard work on this piece of land finally paid off for him.

The field was flat, and he struggled to get up and escape from his restraints, until he was caught again by the yamen runners, but he was unable to find a stone to apologize on.

"Wow, I'm so sorry to my fellow countrymen..."

Wu Er shed tears, and finally his fear of death turned into shame.

"Wu Er, you are such a troublemaker!..."

"Be careful!"

Naturally, some people couldn't help but glare at Wu Er, and some even wanted to take revenge on the spot.

Because of the hometown, there will always be a unique reference for this world and the people on this land.

From the royal family and nobles to the common people, no one can give it up.

The foundation for countless people's struggles comes from these two words.

Countless people hope to add the prefix of their hometown before their names.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm guilty..."

Bang bang bang!

Facing the villagers around him, Wu Er could only keep knocking the lumpy soil against the ground, making it make a loud banging sound.

"Get up."

"Wu Er, you may be sentenced to death, but you will definitely not be able to escape punishment for living!"

"But the crime is not here!"

Zhao Zheng looked solemn as he walked up to Wu Er and read out his verdict to everyone.

"Ok?"

The anger on the faces of the surrounding Wujiagou people gradually faded and turned into confusion.

If one were to find a base for Zhao Zheng among the dozens of provincial governments in the Sun and Moon Dynasty, there would actually be three possible locations.

One is the Nanhe Provincial Governor, this is the consensus of everyone.

The other two have been ignored.

That was the original area outside the pass, and now it is under Zhao Zheng’s feet!

The Eastern and Western Chagatai Khanate outside the Great Wall were originally "saved" by Zhao Zheng, and there is still an incense tablet for Zhao Zheng.

It is a respect for the warriors and also a true inheritance tablet.

As for the ground below, it is truly dark under the lamp.

All the achievements of the Zhao Mansion were distributed to the rest of the world from the imperial capital of Yingtian, and naturally, Nanzhili was the first to benefit from it.

The holy name needs no legend.

Everything exists in reality.

"me!"

So Wu Er came back to life immediately, and without caring about the dust on the wound on his forehead, he hurried to Zhao Zheng for help.

"Next, tell the truth and let him go."

"Yes!"

The bailiff released the restraints, leaving only the shackles. Wu Er stood up tremblingly, and everyone moved closer at this moment.

However, some people in the crowd couldn't help themselves.

Finally, a bewitching sentence suddenly came from somewhere:

"Don't be stupid, Wu Er! Killing someone means paying with your life!"

"If it weren't for Zhao's reforms, your family would have been destroyed!"

And the threats:

"Don't forget, your son is still in our hands. Don't you want him to live a good life?"

The crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Now everyone should know that there is a conspiracy in Wu Er's case.

All the tax guards and yamen runners rushed forward, trying to catch Wu Er.

The situation was reversed in an instant.

But Wu Er was only one step away from Zhao Zheng.

But he had no weapons and had just been freed from his shackles. What could he do?

"Lord be careful!"

The underlying color of conspiracy and intrigue is often very simple.

But Zhao Zheng's counterattack was also very simple.

boom!

Wu Er hadn't moved yet, and Zhao Zheng didn't care whether he wanted to move or not. At least this puppet couldn't die now.

With just one kick, he sent Wu Er flying half a foot away before he could speak.

"Keep him alive!"

The yamen runners and tax guards stopped chopping the meat with their knives and just held Wu Er down.

Wu Er also had something to say: "Sir, I didn't mean to do anything. Someone threatened me with my son and sent me a poison needle right on my sleeve!"

For the safety of his son's life, Wu Er chewed sand and struggled and shouted with tears in his eyes.

The tax guards immediately pulled down both sleeves of Wu Er.

Sure enough, two poison needles specially made into the shape of thumbtacks were found on it.
