Chapter 112 267 people
In Jingzhao Prefecture.
Zhang Quanhe's mind is completely confused now.
He never thought that he would be able to meet so many colleagues in one day.
In particular, he also saw the Chief Censor in Tongyifang, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, and Princess Jiahe who was only wearing a middle-aged dress.
He was almost scared to death at that time.
Fortunately, these people fainted instead of dying.
He didn't even remember how he got back to Jingzhao Prefecture from Tongyifang.
All he knew was that when he came back, he saw people lying densely packed on the ground in the lobby of the front yamen, and some of them had to be placed in the backyard because there was not enough space.
When there are too many people, things tend to get chaotic. He had no choice but to order people to close the door of the mansion and keep out those who were wandering around outside and wanted to find out something.
The coroners borrowed from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were busy all the time, and the doctors brought in from outside were also sweating as they did what they could.
It really opened my eyes. I have never seen such a scene in my life.
After a preliminary check, Jingzhao Prefecture carried back a total of 267 people from five locations in the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the capital.
Among them, there were a total of 172 officials at all levels in the court.
There are eighty-three wealthy businessmen in the city.
One royal princess.
Eleven others remain unidentified.
All of them were injured to varying degrees.
Some had broken ribs, some had broken limbs, and nearly eighty people lost their lifespans.
Everyone was drugged.
So far, no antidote has been found to solve the problem.
Twenty-seven people never woke up again due to excessive blood loss.
The doctors are now helpless and fear that if the remaining people do not wake up, more people will die.
For a moment, the front yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture seemed like hell on earth, filled with people whose lives were unknown, and with the smell of blood wafting in the air.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Zhao Yatou has been with Zhang Quanhe the longest. He has been following Zhang Quanhe since he took the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor.
Over the years, they have encountered some difficult cases together.
However, this time, Zhao Yatou didn't know what to do. He had never seen such a scene before.
Not to mention meeting him, before today, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
"How would I know?" Zhang Quanhe had never seen such a scene before, so how could he know what to do?
Then he seemed to remember something and asked Zhao Yatou, "Where is the master? Where is the master now? "
Zhang Quanhe's master's advisor was his former classmate. However, due to bad luck and his name being taboo, he lost the qualification to bring honor to his family by taking the imperial examination.
It was Zhang Quanhe who had a keen eye for talent and recruited him to be his disciple at an early stage and made him his own master.
Over the years, they have cooperated very well. In many cases, the master's insights and opinions are more unique than his own, so when Zhang Quanhe encounters a big thing, he can't help but want to find this old partner to give him some advice.
Zhao Yatou looked around but didn't see the master. He thought for a moment and said, "The master who was here just now must have gone to the backyard. The master has been recording information."
After hearing this, Zhang Quanhe no longer cared about etiquette. He just lifted his robe and ran quickly towards the backyard.
When he arrived at the backyard, the corridor was also full of people lying down. Zhang Quanhe had to slow down his pace again, for fear of stepping on another person to death.
He had heard from the doctors that although these people were not dead yet, they were already on the verge of death. If they were not careful, the death toll would increase.
Finally, Zhang Quanhe saw his master's figure at the corner of the corridor.
He hurried over and shouted, "Brother Zhengyang, Brother Zhengyang."
When Li Zhengyang heard the shout, he stopped writing in the book in his hand, looked back, and saw that the person coming was Zhang Quanhe. He subconsciously wanted to salute first.
Zhang Quanhe held up his bent body and said anxiously, "Brother Zhengyang, it's time now, let's not do these empty formalities. What should I do in this situation? !"
Compared to Zhang Quanhe's anxiety and panic, Li Zhengyang seemed much calmer.
At least there wasn't much emotion on his face. I didn't know if it was just his nature or if he had already made up his mind.
"Don't worry, sir." Li Zhengyang handed the booklet in his hand to Zhang Quanhe, motioning him to read it first.
Although Zhang Quanhe didn't understand what this was about, the tacit understanding developed over the years made him take it immediately and read it carefully.
The more he looked, the colder his heart became.
Here is a detailed list of those people today.
Zhang Quanhe admired Li Zhengyang, but he could only recognize some of these people as colleagues he often saw and wealthy businessmen he had some dealings with on a regular basis.
However, the list that Li Zhengyang gave him actually clearly described the situations of these people.
However, the information of eleven people is blank.
"Brother Zhengyang, you actually know all these people?!"
"These people are not unknown, so naturally many people know them." The implication is that it is not surprising that he knows them all.
"Now, in your opinion, how should we proceed with the following matters?"
Li Zhengyang did not answer Zhang Quanhe's question, but asked, "Sir, have you ever thought about who has such a great ability to do such a thing in one night?"
''this······''
Zhang Quanhe really hadn't thought about it.
From the time he received the report until now, he has had no time to think about this.
All he could think about was how to get out of this situation.
The general of the patrol battalion, Xiong Deyi, has already entered the palace to meet the emperor. It is estimated that his end will not be good.
Although he didn't have to go to the emperor right away, Jingzhao Prefecture couldn't escape responsibility for this matter. He was afraid that by then, his fate would not be much better than Xiong Deyi's.
"Sir, this matter can be big or small," Li Zhengyang reminded again.
However, Zhang Quanhe had already lost his composure and could not understand the implicit meaning behind Li Zhengyang's words.
In his opinion, this matter was of great importance, how could it be small?
Seeing that Zhang Quanhe still looked completely confused, Li Zhengyang sighed, pointed to the north, and then gently mouthed "Dayan."
Zhang Quanhe, who understood what was going on, opened his eyes wide and froze in place for a moment, almost forgetting to breathe.
