Chapter 488 Pleading guilty
"According to observations, the new drug has a significant effect on the plague. After a few hours of use, the patient's cough, **** sputum, coma and other symptoms can be significantly relieved. And it is not a psychological effect."
Wang’s mansion, the servant stood cautiously in the hall, reporting what he had seen and heard in the ward to the elders gathered here, “The land around the ward has been expropriated by the government.
Many monks who had never seen before appeared there, flattening houses, moving materials such as stone and wood, and building new isolation wards.
Based on the area occupied and the materials used, it is speculated that the new isolation area can accommodate about 1,000 to 2,000 people. "
".Understood, you go down."
Wang Anlian's father, Chu Haoman's father-in-law, Wang Bojian who originally competed with Wang Bofan for the position of patriarch, took a deep breath and asked the servants to step down.
After only the clan elders were left in the hall, he looked around at the crowd with heavy expressions, and said calmly: "The isolation area in Taiyuan Mansion alone can accommodate 5,000 people.
If the isolation camps outside the city are counted and multiplied by the average date of seven to twelve days of isolation per person, all patients can be cleared within two months. "
The elders of the Wang clan in Taiyuan were silent. When they received the news that Li Ang had walked out of the laboratory, they were still a little lucky.
I feel that the water injection that Li Ang took out may be just a counterfeit medicine that has no actual effect.
It was used by Li Ang to deceive the people of Taiyuan Prefecture in order to resolve the imminent crisis.
But when pieces of information were brought into the palace, these lucks disappeared.
The plague is over.
Even if sporadic pathologies appeared in the follow-up, when the disease workshops in other parts of Yu State started to produce special medicines with all their strength, the plague would no longer cause any disturbances.
Wang Bojian continued: "Furthermore, according to reports from the scouts, the train station in Taiyuan Prefecture has also received an order to resume traffic at the latest tomorrow night, and people and materials are temporarily allowed to enter and not to leave.
In other words, the court of Chang’an also changed its original intention of abandoning Taiyuan Mansion after the special medicine appeared, and planned to continue to invest manpower and material resources in Taiyuan Mansion to quell the plague as soon as possible. "
The needle drop could still be heard in the hall, and the clan elders were either expressionless, or closed their eyes, or stared at the ground in a daze.
"Nobody wants to say something?"
The pent-up anger in Wang Bojian's heart was instantly ignited, and he shouted in a low voice: "The Zhenfusi has taken away the sages who participated in the siege of the prefect's mansion during the day, sent people to raid their homes, searched for all their letters, paperwork.
It is to define this incident as a serious case.
In the city of Taiyuan, among the prominent figures, which one has not had contact with the Wang family?
Relying on these letters, the Zhen Fusi can arrest anyone they want within the entire Yu State on the grounds of 'linking to the evil sect cultivator'.
Including Taiyuan Wang, everyone up and down.
The reckoning of the imperial court is coming soon.
Printing and distributing leaflets privately, spreading rumors, fueling the flames and spreading the epidemic ghost charms, and even today instigating the people to besiege the prefect's mansion.
Any one of the charges is enough to overthrow the Wang family. "
"It will not capsize."
Wang Bofan suddenly raised his head and said, "We still have a chance to come back.
Bian Yubo, the trial cardinal of Mount Taihao, is on our side, isn’t he? He also supported and tacitly allowed us to condone the plague in Taiyuan Mansion.
All countries in the world have issued condemnation documents against Yu State. Maybe a few months later, war will break out, and there will be no Yu State in the future! "
"You said it yourself, even if war breaks out, Yu country will not be destroyed instantly.
Bian Yubo is far away in Taihao Mountain, how could he save us? "
Wang Bojian shouted in a deep voice: "What's more, one of the prerequisites for the outbreak of war is the plague and civil strife in Yu State at the moment.
Now that the plague is about to subside, the best fighters of all countries are gone, and the war will be postponed again.
Such a long period of time is enough for the Yu country to achieve peace within the country. "
"Then there is Zhaoming!"
Wang Bofan said loudly: "The Epidemic Ghost Talisman was concocted by Zhao Ming, and they will have a way."
"You expect a group of demon cultivators to save our Wang family?"
Wang Bojian laughed back angrily, "If they have the ability to overthrow Yu State directly, do they still need to hide their heads and show their tails, avoiding Lian Xuanxiao like a mouse?
Or, you want our Wang family to flee collectively? "
The so-called monks who can run away can't run away from the temple. As the local clan of farming and studying, the Wang family in Taiyuan can't leave their hometown anyway and become fugitive suspects collectively.
Wang Bojian looked at the pale-faced brother in front of him, wishing he could roll up his sleeves and knock him to the ground.
Before when Wang Bofan encouraged everyone to support or acquiesce in his plan to trigger leaflets, Wang Bojian had concerns and dissuaded him.
However, Wang Bofan directly expelled him from the old circle of the clan, and did not let him know the follow-up plan
So much so that he only found out not long ago that Mrs. Wang participated in the spread of the Plague Ghost Talisman.
The more silent the clan elders were, the more angry Wang Bojian became.
He looked around at everyone in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Neither Taihaoshan nor Zhaoming can save us this time.
Wang’s own mistakes must be resisted by Wang himself. "
If you come out to resist, you need a culprit to bear the heaviest death penalty for Wang.
Hearing this sentence, Wang Bofan's face turned pale. He already knew that he had lost the bet and made a mistake.
But the truth still stings when someone tells the results straight in front of him.
"We still have a way!"
Wang Bofan interrupted with a flustered expression, "The Wang family is as rich as a country,
We can trade and discuss with the imperial court, and if it doesn’t work, we can threaten the Chang’an imperial court with the alienated objects in the treasure house.
The Wang family is flourishing. Whether it is the Chang'an court, the academy, or the Zhenfusi, there are people who are related to them and can help them speak.
And Li Ang, isn't he still married?
Scholars all over the world are proud to marry women with five surnames. We can discuss it with him.
There is also King Yue, he wants to be emperor, right?
As long as he lets us go this time, the Wang family and other families will fully support him in his fight against the crown prince, and he will not let go of such a good opportunity.”
Wang Bofan racked his brains, thinking of a way out for himself. He stood up from the chair, came to Wang Bojian and knelt down on one knee, with a difficult smile on his face, "Bojian, we have known each other since we were young. The position of the patriarch , I also feel in my heart that you should be in charge."
Wang Bojian didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart when he saw his former competitor acting like this.
"well done."
The white-haired elder nodded and said: "If those who spread rumors in the city before are the children of the family, let them hide at home for a few days.
If they are servants at home, let them write a confession,
In addition, give their family a pension, so that they don't go around talking nonsense.
Also, prepare a list of all kinds of treasures in the treasure house.
Bo Jian,"
"I am here."
"Tie up Bofan."
The old white-haired man stood up from his chair with a cane, and said wearily, "We will go to Mr. Li Xiaolang tonight and apologize."
——
The cold wind is blowing, and the lanterns are fluttering.
The carriage of the Wang family in Taiyuan drove across the street and stopped in front of the hospital.
As the servant said, at this moment, the periphery of the ward is like a construction site, full of dust and dust.
The monks dressed in the costumes of the Academy, Zhenfu Division, and major academies are using spells and thoughts to build a new isolation area.
Some ordinary laborers with no cultivation level used carts and other tools to deliver carts of stone bricks and wood.
The carriage door opens,
Wang Bojian, Wang Bofan and the elders of the white-haired tribe got off the carriage and walked towards the noisy and lively construction site in silence.
There were many local people from Taiyuan on the construction site. When they saw Wang Bojian and the three of them, they recognized the Wang jade pendant worn by the three of them.
But no one stepped forward to stop him.
The three of them came to the inside of the ward without hindrance, and met the girl at the front desk of the ward.
"Is Mr. Li Xiaolang here?"
Wang Bojian took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Please inform, Taiyuan Wang, Wang Bojian is here to see you."
The front desk **** duty in the ward also happens to be a native of Taiyuan Prefecture. When she heard the words Taiyuan Wang, her eyes widened in astonishment, and then she reacted belatedly, "Uh, to find Mr. Li Xiaolang, you need to sign for confirmation." .”
"There is no need to report, this way."
A low voice sounded, and Yan Yundang, who was still wearing armor, walked out of the duty room, glanced at the three of them, and said calmly: "Follow me."
At the moment, there are still many medical staff on duty in the ward.
Yan Yundang in armor, Wang Bojian with no expression on his face, the white-haired elder who kept coughing, and Wang Bofan with a pale face.
The strange combination of these four people attracted all kinds of strange eyes in the corridor.
The four of them went straight to the office in the corner of the ward. Yan Yundang knocked on the wooden door, and opened the door only after Li Ang's voice of "Please come in" came from inside.
Li Ang in the room was still reviewing the documents. Seeing Wang Bojian and the other three walk in, he put down his pen and said with a smile, "The three of you finally meet."
This is the first time he has met the real master of the Wang family in person,
He has seen the portraits of the members of the Wang family given to him by the Zhen Fusi, and he recognizes Wang Bofan, the elder of the white-haired clan, and Wang Bojian—Wang Bojian's son-in-law Chu Haoman, who was rescued by him in the Qishui Village incident.
At that time, he also received the fine gold reward from Wang Shi, and helped Mosi complete the stage evolution.
I have to feel the wonder of fate.
"Yeah, we finally met."
Wang Bojian sighed, took out a piece of paper from his arms, stepped forward, and put his hands on Li Ang's desk.
"What's this?"
Li Ang's eyebrows were raised, and the names of more than 60 people were written on the paper, most of them were surnamed Wang.
"This is the name of the members of the royal family who contributed to the flames in Taiyuan City and violated the laws of Yu during this plague."
Wang Bojian said respectfully: "Headed by Wang Bofan, six direct family members, twenty-seven family collaterals, and twenty-eight servants played disgraceful roles in the plague.
Except for Wang Bofan, the culprit, the others have all gone to the Fusizhong of Taiyuan Prefecture to surrender and plead guilty. "
"Is it?"
Li Ang smiled slightly, and glanced at Wang Bofan, "Since you have already pleaded guilty, why are you still looking for me?"
"Ahem,"
The white-haired old man coughed and said respectfully: "Mr. Li Xiaolang, you are an observer of Hedong Road, and you shoulder the lives of millions of people.
Some unworthy descendants of my Wang family, for their own selfish desires, violated the laws of Yu, and hindered your epidemic prevention strategy, Mr. Li Xiaolang,
Because of emotion and reason, I should plead guilty to you before pleading guilty. "
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his crutches and knocked on Wang Bofan's knee. The latter knelt down and knocked on the ground in front of Li Ang's desk.
Li Ang glanced at Wang Bofan, who was ashen, turned his head to look at the white-haired elder, and said with a smile: "As expected of a thousand-year-old family, it is an understatement to say that besieging the prefect's mansion is a violation of Yu law.
Can describe the collectively agreed resolution of the family as a decision made by a small group of unworthy descendants based on their own selfish desires.
I would like to know,"
He pointed to Wang Bofan who was kneeling on the ground, "What is the so-called selfish desire?"
"Wang Jie, the eldest son of Wang Bofan, suffered from the plague before the city was closed. Due to the closure of the city, the herbal medicine based on the unique prescription of Lihuagu, the former Sui Zongmen, could not be bought. In order to be able to treat his son, Wang Bofan hindered the epidemic prevention strategy."
Wang Bojian continued, "Wang Jie died of illness three days ago, and Wang Bofan felt resentful towards the Taiyuan Mansion because of this. Out of resentment, he concocted the incident of besieging the Taishou Mansion."
While still in the palace, Wang Bojian had already discussed in detail all possible situations with the elders of the white-haired tribe.
There is a reason why they came to Li Ang instead of Li Hui, the king of Yue with a higher title in Taiyuan Mansion.
First of all, although Li Hui is the prince, in terms of official position, Li Ang, the observer of Hedong Road, still holds the dominant position.
Secondly, according to the information sent back, it was Li Ang, not Li Hui, who ordered the town governor to thoroughly investigate the gentry who besieged the prefect's mansion.
This is understandable, after all, the source of the siege incident was "a drop of Li Xiaolang-jun's blood can cure the disease".
Li Ang felt resentful about this, which is understandable.
Finally, in Taiyuan Wang's opinion, Li Ang, as a doctor, would act more kindly.
