Chapter 259 Threat
In the early morning, Li Ang took a carriage to the prefect's mansion in the city.
Along the way, you can see many more citizens on the street—the effective implementation of the mollusc control plan and the appearance of tartar medicine have brought the whole city back to life, and it is no longer as dead as it was when the water poison was flooding before.
The citizens sitting at the food stall were discussing, talking about the strange loud noise that resounded through the city of Suzhou last night.
It is said that the sound was made by the God of Taihu Lake. The God of the Lake took pity on the people in the south of the Yangtze River and used his magic power to fight against the God of Plague.
It is said that the noise is made by plague ghosts. Plague Ghost has practiced under the lake for thousands of years, and was about to transform into a ghost fairy, but was stopped by the Heavenly Tribulation. The white light that filled the sky last night was the aftermath of the battle.
It is said that the sound comes from the mythical Zhenze Kui Niu.
The most outrageous thing is that some fishermen salvaged a one-eyed man from the bottom of the lake, and made some kind of ominous prophecy
The more rumors are made, the more outrageous it becomes. Mo Daoshi has one eye, so it will be reversed once this thing comes out of the world, right?
Li Ang smiled and shook his head. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are more casual when discussing government affairs.
Squeak.
The carriage stopped in front of the prefect's mansion, Li Ang followed the leading soldiers, and saw Li Shan, Shen Tuyu and Tantai Leshan.
"Tantai Siye?"
Li Ang was astonished, or pretended to be astonished, "Why are you here?"
Tantai Leshan smiled slightly, flicked his fingers slightly, released the sound insulation technique, and said, "I'm here to help **** the prisoners."
Li Ang asked in surprise, "Prisoner?"
"Last night, the Deputy Commander of the Zhen Fu Division and I captured a Zhuxiao Realm Gu Master from the Western Kingdom in Taihu Lake, named Situ Zhi."
Shen Tuyu took out a large stack of files and put them on the table, and said: "As far as is known, he caused more than fifteen large-scale epidemics in many countries, with millions of victims.
The water poisoning of Taihu Lake this time was also his work. "
Li Ang and Guang Wang Li Shan picked up the file on the table and started to read it.
Secrets that are not secrets,
The secret agents of the Zhenfu Division are all over the world, and they will record files for most of the monks with names and surnames.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more hostile to the state of Yu, and the more ostentatious the monk's behavior, the thicker his file will be.
As a Gu master, Situ Zhi's file is as thick as a brick, and it is completely conceivable that Zhen Fusi hates him.
Shen Tuyu said: "After interrogation, it has been confirmed that without Situ Zhi's promotion, the water poisonous Gu will weaken. Maybe it only needs to do a good job of killing snails in one or two years, and the water poisonous plague will dissipate."
"Yeah, that would be great!"
Li Shan's spirit was shaken. During this period of time, he took the lead and presided over the prevention and control of snails. It can be said that he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Moreover, as the King of Light and the inspector, he is very clear about the logic of the court of Yu State - if the water poison cannot be completely eradicated, then the court will not be able to continue to invest a lot of material and financial resources in it, and will only gradually reduce the investment and reduce it as much as possible. loss.
And if the hope of eradicating water poisoning can be seen, the imperial court is still willing to support it.
"in addition."
Shen Tuyu paused for a moment, and said: "Situ Zhi has been in Yu State for a long time. He was able to avoid being caught for such a long time. It is not only because he drove carefully, but it is also possible that someone secretly helped him hide his whereabouts."
"He has an accomplice?" Li Shan asked with a frown.
"might have."
Shen Tuyu said vaguely: "In short, more inside stories are still under investigation.
Besides Shen Tuyu and his accomplices, there may be another force—Situ Zhi, who was not first discovered by me or the people from the Zhenfu Department last night,
Situ Zhi is a Gu master at the Candle Sky Realm, and to be his opponent, that unknown monk at least has a cultivation level at the Cloud Patrol Realm.
His Royal Highness King Guang, Mr. Li Xiaolang, it is best not to leave Suzhou City in the near future. In addition, the news about Situ Zhi is still classified for the time being, and it is best not to disclose it to the outside world. "
"clear."
Li Ang nodded, turned and left the prefect's mansion, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart.
Mosi's concealment is still reliable. Zhen Fusi searched around Taihu Lake several times last night, but couldn't find Mosi's aura track, so he had to give up.
However, the disciple next to Situ Zhi ran away, and I don't know if he can be arrested and brought to justice.
In addition, Situ Zhi is from Zhaoming. He was captured and interrogated by the Zhenfu Department, and he was sure to find out something.
At that time, it will be Zhenfu Division and Xuegong who first lock Zhaoming,
Or did the other party sense the danger and act first?
Li Ang took a silent breath, and the sense of urgency in his heart became stronger.
Even among the many paths in the Candle Sky Realm, Gu Masters who are the least good at fighting are still crushing monks below the Candle Sky Realm.
Sure enough, one must have enough strength to protect oneself.
Li Ang returned to the still noisy and busy hospital in a carriage, found Qiu Feng, and revealed some information that could be said.
"Will the water poisoning epidemic be reduced in the coming year?"
Qiu Feng widened his eyes subconsciously, and immediately realized that his voice was too loud, so he quickly lowered his voice, "How much will it be reduced?"
"It's hard to say, it should reduce the number of patients by at least 50 to 60%."
Li Ang also couldn't estimate the effect of the so-called Gu demon, so he roughly gave a figure, "Give me the medical records of the critically ill patients who came to the ward during this period, and I'll do the math."
Qiu Feng immediately took down a large box of materials from the cabinet. Li Ang flipped through the medical records, and based on the map of the Taihu Lake water system, estimated the number of future patients in each area, the difficulty of control, etc.,
And calculate if there are no new cases of schistosomiasis in the future, how long it will take to clear the cases at the current treatment speed of the ward.
"If the current support provided by the imperial court is used, and there are no new cases of schistosomiasis, it will take two years to clear the cases.
If there are a small number of new schistosomiasis cases, it takes four years.
If there are new cases and the court reduces its support, it will take about ten years to clear the cases according to Suzhou itself. "
The calculation result made Li Ang heave a sigh of relief. Qiu Feng glanced at the serious expression on his face, and said softly: "Ten years is already a long time to eradicate the disease."
"Not fast enough."
Li Ang shook his head, antimony potassium tartrate is difficult to completely remove the schistosomiasis in the human body, and it still needs monks to use the method of enucleation to eradicate it.
The number of monks is limited, which means that patients need to wait in line for eradication opportunities,
In this process, antimony potassium tartrate will still cause great damage to the patient's body.
Li Ang knew that without himself, schistosomiasis would most likely be a terminal illness. He had tried his best, but he couldn't help but wonder if there was a better way
Qiu Feng hesitated for a moment, "Maybe we can try other medicines? There is a saying in medical theory, maybe using tartaric medicine, plus some other medicine, can reduce its harm to the human body while ensuring the efficacy of the medicine. Harm."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Li Ang shook his head, antimony schistosomiasis must be toxic,
Schistosome drugs other than antimony agents include praziquantel, thiocyanamide, oxaniquine, niridazole, etc., and the difficulty of synthesis of each is higher than antimony potassium tartrate
"etc,"
Li Ang suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Maybe... you can try that."
