The reason why Magistrate Liu was taken down was naturally because of the series of evidences sent by Qin Liuxi for being greedy for ink and exploiting the common people. The reason why the governor came so quickly was also because he was the governor Xiao who had a face-to-face relationship with Qin Liuxi.
Governor Xiao is old-fashioned but loyal, but he is not very good at changing things, so he has been sitting in the same position for several years. He originally had a chance to be promoted last year, but he did not want to offend the superior again and be dismissed again. .
He himself didn't care. Anyway, as the saying goes, it takes ten years to clear a magistrate. He was only in his eighth year as governor of Ningzhou. He could still wait. For some magistrates, wouldn't it be three years and three years later?
As the governor of Ningzhou Prefecture, Xiao Prefecture certainly has his own people. He originally targeted the prefect of Annan Prefecture for one of his own, but he didn't want to be confused in the middle. He and Liu Huaizhong were not dealing with each other, and now Qin Liuxidi With the evidence of the crime, it was a good time to completely drown Magistrate Liu to death. How could he not seize it?
Moreover, Qin Liuxi took the initiative to go to the plague area to provide free medical treatment. Thinking of her as a person, he made the trip himself.
It's a good thing that he came in person, otherwise we wouldn't have seen that Magistrate Liu was so crazy. He actually set fire to the village even though he knew that there was a miracle cure for the epidemic. He really had to make this decision and make it happen. I will be implicated by him and become a big sinner. This position can indeed be moved, but only downwards.
When Governor Xiao thought about the consequences, he broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the villagers in Lijiatun were about to riot, he quickly reassured him that he would not burn down the village, let alone give up. The government would always provide medicinal materials so that everyone could drink them. Medicinal decoction heals the disease.
Officials came forward, and Qin Liuxi rang the Sanqing bell and sang sutras. At least these people were calmed down, and they all returned to the isolation area to stay peacefully.
As long as there is still a chance to live.
Governor Xiao personally inquired about the usefulness of Cimicifuga Turtle Armor Decoction, drank a bowl of it, and asked Qin Liuxi and the others if it could be used on other plagues.
Qin Liuxi and the others also knew that just when the weather officially entered June, floods occurred in many places in the south. After the water receded, the summer sun was exposed, and animal carcasses and human corpses were not cleaned up in time, causing floods in many areas. After the plague, the people were in chaos and the people were helpless. The so-called Tiansheng religion that saved the common people increasingly penetrated the people and attracted countless believers.
"In today's Tiansheng Sect, followers are pervasive, arresting one after another, deceiving the public with monstrous words, and making people panic. However, most of these believers are innocent people. They have done nothing but promote the goodness of Tiansheng Sect. We It's not good to suppress them blindly, otherwise if you really catch them all, the prison of this yamen won't be enough." Governor Xiao got excited and pulled the blisters at the corners of his mouth. He gritted his teeth in pain and said, "They all say this. What kind of faith is this? From my perspective, it is deceiving the people and exploiting everything they have, including money and faith. The most poisonous people will even think that their family members are blocking the way and end it personally. The so-called Tiansheng Sect is actually an evil heretic. , a bunch of rabble.”
He saw Qin Liuxi looking at him, held his breath, and said: "Of course, a righteous Taoist sect like Guiguan is not one of the lower-ranking sects."
Qin Liuxi said: "When natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, people in the world cannot get comfort. In order to make their hearts at ease, they will only build a belief for themselves to support their weak beliefs and let themselves survive. That belief can be a person, or it can be It’s a **** or a Buddha, or even an illusory object. So some people believe in Buddhism, some believe in Taoism, and some also believe in mountain gods and river gods. No matter what they believe in, it’s all to make themselves feel at ease.”
Everyone was silent.
"Of course, I don't just agree with the Tiansheng Sect. Even Governor Xiao, I'm afraid you have nothing to do with it. I heard that the Tiansheng Sect's altar was built with donations of money and materials from the palace's favorite concubine Rufei. "Qin Liuxi said sarcastically.
Governor Xiao sighed and nodded dejectedly.
As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper, wrote down the prescriptions, and told them their uses. She also wrote down other prescriptions and handed them over together. They were all good remedies for treating plague.
Governor Xiao held a few thin pieces of paper with mixed emotions, but he said shamelessly: "I will deliver these prescriptions to various places as soon as possible, especially places with plague. I just don't know if the master can go to various epidemic places to determine the prescriptions." ?”
"There is something going on here, and there is something going on over there at Qingping Temple. I will go when I have time." Qin Liuxi thought for a while and said: "However, in my opinion, it is urgent to resolve the Tiansheng Sect's matter. Otherwise, no matter what, If it grows stronger, it will only cause more troubles." Governor Xiao was stunned and said: "There are many believers in the Tiansheng Sect, and now they are being poisoned too deeply. Can the Master think of a way?"
"Why do you think of something?" Qin Liuxi said: "Whatever they believe in, I just pull down the thing they believe in and smash it to pieces."
Everyone: “…”
This is quite gangster!
Qin Liuxi saw the weird expressions on their faces and said, "Is there any problem? Isn't it normal to use Taoism to defeat Taoism?"
Haha, just be happy.
Governor Xiao also had a headache for the Tiansheng Sect. He wished that someone would dare to use this spear, so he said: "If you need the government's cooperation, just ask the master, and we will definitely cooperate."
Qin Liuxi nodded.
Governor Xiao is busy with official duties. Now he has taken over Liu Zhifu, explained a few words about the royal government, and left in a hurry. As for who will be the new prefect, that is not what Qin Liuxi and the others should think about.
Wang Zheng also followed Qin Liuxi to visit the villagers who were getting better and made sure that Cimicifuga Turtle Jia Decoction was available. She didn't mind the spread of this prescription, so she also asked for a copy of the prescription. He planned to have some people copy it. Send them to various medical clinics to boil some medicinal soup for the people to drink. They can treat diseases when they are sick and prevent diseases when they are not.
Epidemic prevention is not just about having medicine, but also ensuring that it does not spread. Therefore, in addition to drinking medicine for prevention, it is also necessary to disinfect rodent poisons, especially corpses. They can no longer be buried and must be burned completely. As for those who are unwilling The common people will not be given any decoction and will have to pay a fine. The body cannot be buried elsewhere but in his own territory. If he gets sick after that, he will be killed without mercy.
Such seemingly harsh regulations make many people dare not go against the government's wishes. After all, how can the dead be as important as the living?
If the people do not resist, the government will be able to do things much more smoothly.
Qin Liuxi was sure that Lijiatun no longer needed their masters and apprentices, so he took Teng Zhao and others to leave. The ginseng was growing a bit wild now, so he had to give it a good ‘teaching’.
Small ginseng: bad, murderous!
But just when Qin Liuxi and the others were about to leave, the old doctor Zhang stopped Qin Liuxi: "Master, I have something to ask you. I wonder if the master can help me clarify my doubts?" (End of this chapter)
