Traveling Through the Swordsman: The Evil-Exorcist Swordsman Lin Pingzhi

Chapter 48

Lin Pingzhi shook his robe at this moment.He continued: "I believe that the elder brother can also see that my family is well-off. It is definitely not an ordinary family. I will not let the good life go, and then go to find death on purpose. Please let the elder brother make it easier, maybe we can really do it." It might be possible to save our folks in Fujian."

After listening to Lin Pingzhi's words, the two officials looked at each other, neither of them said anything, but at this moment one of the officials took out two face towels smoked with wormwood from behind, and he handed them to them and said: "Well, good words are hard to persuade, damned ghosts, if you two little things want to go in and seek death, then the official will grant you. But there is one thing, unless the plague inside is over, otherwise, no one can go out. Even if It won’t work even if the emperor is here.”

At this time, Fu Ying took the face scarf handed over by the official, and then wrapped it around her face and said, "Thank you, brother, for making it happen."

Lin Pingzhi also took the face towel from Fu Ying and put it on, just as they were about to enter the city.The officials still stopped them.

At this time, the officer finally warned: "I will ask you one last time, you two are still young children. There will be a great time in the future, there is no need to disturb this muddy water. If you regret it now and want to leave, then there is still time .But once you enter this city, it will be too late."

Fu Ying stopped at this moment, and she asked, "Don't you know that the imperial court is here to help the disaster?"

The officer laughed at her words at this time, and the officer replied: "Naturally, if the imperial court doesn't care about it, why should we stand guard here and remind passers-by to take a detour? The doctor sent by the imperial court is currently in the city. Diagnosis and treatment. The county magistrate is also sitting in the city."

Fu Ying continued to ask: "Is there any problem with the turnover of medicinal materials, food and other materials in the city?"

The official listened to her very carefully, but she looked a little reliable.It seems that it is not entirely the "nonsense" of the children's family.

The official replied: "The current supply is pretty stable. As long as no plague is found in other places, it will not be a big deal. Ordinary people will not go far without a yamen official to guide them, let alone wander out. I'm afraid that some Jianghu people will bring the plague out."

Fu Ying nodded, cupped her hands and said to the officer: "That's good! Thank you, brother, for telling me! Mr. Lin, let's go to the city."

This time the officials did not stop them again, and opened the roadblocks against horses to let them enter the city.

Fu Ying swaggered ahead, while Lin Pingzhi led the horse behind.

About one or two miles away is Funing County, Lin Pingzhi led the horse to Fu Ying's side and asked, "Are you really sure about curing the plague?"

Fu Ying replied confidently at this time: "Naturally."

Lin Pingzhi shook his head and said: "However, the practice of medicine pays attention to 'seeing, hearing, and asking'. You can't even see the patient's appearance, so you can be sure that it will be cured. Isn't that a little bit?"

At this moment, Fu Ying stopped in her tracks, she wanted to say something, but she seemed to choke on the words.She smiled at this moment and said: "Don't worry, I am proficient in medicine, and I will find a way."

Lin Pingzhi noticed that although her smile was still sweet this time, there was a bit of bitterness mixed with the sweetness.

After a few days of getting along, Lin Pingzhi had some understanding of Fu Ying, but he had never seen Fu Ying like this.

But he didn't ask any more questions, he is just this girl's bodyguard now, and the two of them just met by chance.As long as they wait until their one-month period has passed, and then pay off the balance, then they will not owe each other, and then "forget each other in the rivers and lakes".

Besides, there are some small secrets in the girl's heart, and it's better for the big men not to ask too much.

The journey of one or two miles was not very far, and soon they came to the gate of Funing County. Today, the guards in front of the gate of Funing County are not ordinary yamen officials.

They are regular court officers and soldiers wearing "flying saucer hats" and "mountain armor".

However, when these officers and soldiers saw Lin Pingzhi and others coming, they did not block them, and they had nothing to say, so they were easily let into the city.

However, although it is easy to enter the city, it is very difficult to leave the city.

At the gate of the city, many people gathered here, clamoring to leave the city.But without exception, they were all beaten back by these officers and soldiers, and some of them were beaten badly.

However, the imperial court would not ignore those who were beaten.They put a lot of gold sore medicine and plasters to stop bleeding on the table at the gate of the city.

Anyone who wanted to leave the city by force and was beaten would be treated by the yamen.

Moreover, the officials were still distributing rice at the gate of the city, and everyone had rice bamboo chips issued by the local security chiefs.

The common people can rely on the bamboo chips in their hands to receive the disaster relief rice distributed by the court. It is impossible to eat enough. Although there are not many, they can barely make ends meet if they cook porridge.

And not only was there not much rice given, but the officials also mixed sand into the rice from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly.The local officials are much more responsible than those in Pingyang County.

Lin Pingzhi didn't care about the behavior of officials who mixed sand in the relief food.After all, this is a helpless move.

Add some sand to the rice, and only the really hungry people will come to pick it up, and those rich households who have surplus food, the local ruffians, will take advantage of the court and grab food from the really hungry people.

Although this is somewhat "shameful", it is also a helpless move.After all, what can never be underestimated is the "evil" of human nature.

Bad people always have a way to take advantage of loopholes to encroach on the interests of good people.

As for the behavior of court officials who may embezzle disaster relief food and make a fortune.Lin Pingzhi had no evidence, and he couldn't make assumptions out of thin air, and he didn't want to care too much.

The world is bustling for profit.

These officials of the imperial court can manage affairs, distribute rice to everyone, and stay in the affected area to maintain local order during the great plague. If they don't give them some sweetness, they may have 'run away' long ago.

Although Lin Pingzhi has a chivalrous heart, he is not a pedantic person.

It is definitely wrong to be greedy for food for disaster relief. This kind of corrupt officials should be punished by the nine clans.But when you are in a hurry, you must learn to be flexible when doing things.

What's more, if there is no evidence, the "injustice" of the imperial court will order the officials to "decapitate".

With Lin Pingzhi's current martial arts and the sword in his hand, eradicating corrupt officials is just a matter of effort.

But without them, the order in this city would collapse in an instant, and countless hungry people would be left unattended.Once the crowd loses the constraints of order, they will give full play to their instincts as "animals".

At that time, this city will no longer be a city, but a purgatory on earth.

Human nature is inherently evil. Human beings are threatened with death in life. Once their morality is degraded, they are no different from animals.

Fu Ying walked to the bulletin board in front of the city gate at this time, she looked at the notice in the yamen and then sighed.

Lin Pingzhi said: "We have come in now, how will Miss Fu control the local plague?"

Fu Ying replied: "Naturally, we should first 'look, hear and ask' to see how the local people are doing."

But the patients are not easy to find, because now all the patients infected with the plague are gathered in one place, which is the morgue of the county government.

Anyone who has symptoms of the plague will be sent there for isolation and intensive treatment.
