Chapter 451: Wan Jun died!
Qianzhou.
Cloud City.
Zhao Wanjun, dressed in black, led dozens of people and rode out of the city at full speed, as if he was chasing something.
As Anyue's touring inspection ambassador, Zhao Wanjun traveled all over the world. In order to maintain his body functions, he took the elixir given by Anshan over the years, which restored a lot of vitality and made his appearance rejuvenated, returning to his youth.
This also gives me enough energy to rush around every day to handle cases and investigate matters.
She has always been alone. When she was young, the Zhao Hou couple tried to find a husband for her, but she refused.
In Zhao Wanjun's heart, he only wanted to do his patrol duties well and protect the peace of the people.
She thought that there would be no husband in the world who could tolerate her temper and accept a female official like her who worked hard and ran around everywhere.
Recently, she toured Cloud City and discovered that Cloud City was experiencing a man-made disaster.
Someone secretly deceived the people into buying some kind of health-enhancing powder called Dengxian Powder.
But after investigating with the yamen runners, she found out that this so-called strengthening and health-enhancing powder was extremely addictive.
Once the people take it several times, they will become extremely dependent on this powder. If they don't take it for one day, they will feel burning pain in their internal organs and splitting headaches.
The most horrifying thing is that the yamen runners once helped addicted people to quit taking the drug.
As a result, the people who were addicted had red eyes, looked crazy, and their minds were like demons, and they would hurt anyone they saw.
After being forcibly suppressed, he howled miserably for three days without stopping, during which time he refused to eat or drink, and quickly became emaciated, as if he was ill.
Finally, a dense swarm of tiny insects crawled out of the body, and the scene was extremely creepy.
In order to investigate the horror of this powder, a yamen runner plucked up the courage to try the medicine on himself. After swallowing it once, he waited for follow-up.
As a result, in the middle of the night, he had the urge to continue swallowing the Dengxian Powder.
He became restless and started to rip open doors and knock on windows, trying to escape and look for the powder.
He was forcibly stopped by many yamen runners.
After the yamen runner regained consciousness, he said: That was a thought that came from the bottom of my heart, just like the instinctive urge to eat and drink, and I couldn't notice anything wrong.
Then, on the next day.
The yamen runner suffered from diarrhea and felt weak all over. He wanted to take medicine powder even more.
He was still stopped by the crowd and locked up for observation.
On the third day, the yamen runner fell ill with a high fever and excreted many sickening worm eggs in the toilet.
Afterwards, he finally got rid of the influence of Ascension Powder.
But vaguely, I still wanted to continue swallowing that powder.
It's like that feeling has been engraved into my bones.
This matter attracted great attention from the Yuncheng government and the inspector Zhao Wanjun.
After investigation, it was discovered that this powder had also been sprinkled into the water source of Yuncheng.
The people in the dark want to make everyone take this Ascension Powder and make them addicted!
Fortunately, Zhao Wanjun and others discovered the problem in time and forcibly isolated a group of people to prevent them from continuing to come into contact with the drug powder, which prevented a major chaos in Yuncheng.
The water source is a small river, which is running water. After the medicine powder is continuously spread and diluted by the water flow, it will gradually become ineffective.
There is no need to worry about other places downstream being harmed.
The worm eggs excreted by the people after suffering from diarrhea, as well as the small worms that had previously crawled out of the human body, were also collected and sent to the capital of Anyue, in the hope that the experimental institute could research something.
At the same time, Zhao Wanjun and the Yuncheng government also began decisive action, casting a large net to hunt down and intercept those who secretly spread such horrible powder.
At first, everything went smoothly.
Yamen runners and soldiers rushed out in large numbers and quickly arrested most of the people who spread the Dengxian Powder.
However, after some interrogation, they found out that the group of people who first spread the drug powder had already left Yuncheng.
He went to a big city in the north of Qianzhou, intending to continue spreading the powder there.
Along the way, I also plan to spread it along the way.
The Yuncheng government office realized the urgency of the situation and quickly contacted the city government office in the north of Qianzhou, but the distance was too far and the carrier pigeons took time, so no reply has been received yet.
In order to prevent those people from spreading along the way and harming innocent people, Zhao Wanjun acted decisively and took dozens of officers and soldiers to chase them overnight.
We changed horses and chased at high speed all the way.
With the information about the arrested people, we were able to quickly determine their approximate location.
The relentless pursuit made those people panic and they didn't dare to stop and spread the news.
The people along the way were able to avoid a disaster.
Seeing that they were about to pursue the enemy to a small town, Zhao Wanjun sent a letter by carrier pigeon to quickly contact the officials of the small town ahead.
The officials of the small town also responded quickly, willing to send troops to help and stop the evildoers.
However, those who were arrested in Yuncheng concealed one thing at the beginning.
The source where the Ascension Powder was first spread was not at all Yuncheng where Zhao Wanjun was recently.
But on the road of pursuit...two waves of troops, one in front and one behind, are about to reach the small town.
By the time the Yuncheng City Court used torture to extract this information, it was already too late.
After pretending to cooperate with the play, the officers, soldiers and civilians of that small town surrounded Zhao Wanjun and his group in the city.
The night was dark, and only with the faint moonlight could one clearly see the appearance of the people in the city.
The officials in the small town looked thin and hungry, their eyes were dull, and they were in extremely bad condition.
However, he commanded a group of equally skinny officers, soldiers and civilians, and surrounded the streets of the small town.
Zhao Wanjun and others tried to break out again and again, but found that there was no way out and were blocked several times.
Those fleeing villains turned the tables and sat in the distance with a look of disdain on their faces, taking out a small packet of Ascension Powder.
It was thrown to the officials of the small town like alms.
The official of the small town thanked him profusely and immediately opened the small package. Regardless of everything, he picked up the food with his hands and swallowed it on the spot.
The look on his face was as if he was tasting a delicious delicacy and was intoxicated by it.
Some Dengxian Powder fell to the ground, and the official's eyes turned red. He lay on the ground and inhaled it without caring about his dignity.
The faint fragrance of the powder spread, causing the people and soldiers in the city to swallow their saliva.
Like a demon monster that has been hungry for a long time and is thirsty for blood.
With Anyue's current prosperity, Qianzhou has long been a prosperous place.
But the people here look like beggars, with tattered clothes and thin bodies.
It seemed as if recently, all his money was spent on purchasing the Ascension Powder at a high price.
The villain stood behind the crowd, looking at Zhao Wanjun and others who were blocked in the street by the people, and just took out a small drum and beat it gently.
Suddenly, it seemed like some kind of signal.
In the small town, the people and soldiers who had been relatively calm and restrained went crazy.
With red eyes, like a puppet, he rushed towards Zhao Wanjun and his group fearlessly.
"Kill her and those officers and soldiers, and I guarantee that everyone will have a bowl of Ascension Powder to eat."
The villains' sarcastic smiles seemed to be mocking Zhao Wanjun and others.
What's wrong with chasing them? We protected the people along the way, but we fell into their trap!
Under the influence of the powder, who would have known that they had already eroded and controlled the entire town!
The villain's words seemed to shatter the last bit of clarity among the people in the city.
In their hearts, everything has been concealed from them, their consciousness has been manipulated, and they only want to take the Ascension Powder and experience the wonderful feeling of being intoxicated and ascending to heaven.
Instead of being tortured by the pain in the body to the point of being worse than death!
They want the Ascension Powder, they want to eat the Ascension Powder!
Kill the soldiers in front of you and you can eat the immortal powder!
The people in the city rushed forward like crazy and disregarded any consequences.
He grabbed with his arms and bit with his teeth, showing no fear of the knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers.
Zhao Wanjun's eyes widened, unwilling to kill these civilians who were controlled by the drug powder. He shook his wrist, repelled them with the back of his knife, and forced his way out with his runners.
Even though she had the musket newly developed by An Yue, which was powerful enough to kill people at a distance and with one shot, she couldn't bear to use it on these civilians.
Moreover, the musket could only kill one person and could not stop the crazy people who were pouring in.
The scene was extremely chaotic. The people had red eyes and threw their fragile bodies towards the war horses and sharp blades, like zombies, refusing to retreat at all!
The temptation of the Ascension Powder and the control of the poisonous insects were enough to make their brains confused and forget everything.
Be it money, life or death; be it an official or a soldier, be it rebellion!
As long as they are given the Ascension Powder, they would be willing to die just to get even a little bit of it!
Under the skin of the people, there are worms wriggling, controlling their behavior and driving them completely crazy.
Intentionally controlling the blade so as not to kill the manipulated people, even though Zhao Wanjun was a great martial arts master, he still used all his strength to ride his horse out of the siege and reopen the city gate.
She rode a warhorse and stood at the city gate. Her clothes and armor were stained red, and there were thick bloodstains on the back of her sword.
But seeing that dozens of officers and soldiers following him were knocked down by the civilians and about to be eaten alive, Zhao Wanjun gritted his teeth and rushed back.
finally.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers, with bite marks and scratches all over their bodies, staggered and fled the town in a panic.
But... Zhao Wanjun was not among them.
The Zhao Siya who was once ridiculed for his naive sense of justice, the Zhao Xunshi who was feared and hated by many but always rushed to the front line.
A heroic woman who was once betrayed by the person she protected, but still chose to maintain peace and hate evil.
In this matter, he saved his life forever.
