Chapter 211 The Truth, You Did a Good Job
Xu Junjun suppressed her hostility and continued eating:
"Eat if you want. It's not my money anyway."
Hearing Jun Xiaochen mention that he had waited for her for so long, Xu Junjun was kind enough not to argue with him.
Being hungry, Xu Junjun ignored Jun Xiaochen and focused on eating.
Jun Xiaochen drank the nourishing soup slowly, his eyes always fixed on Xu Junjun.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, he asked:
"I heard that you and the imperial doctors confirmed that the people were not infected with the plague, but were poisoned."
I just got some information from Weidong. This is a serious matter, so Jun Xiaochen had to come to Xu Junjun late at night to confirm the situation.
Speaking of business, Xu Junjun became serious, stopped eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Jun Xiaochen and nodded seriously:
"right.
It was only after the imperial physician reminded me during the day that I realized that there was something wrong with the direction of our thinking.
Unexpectedly, I guessed it right.
The red spots on the people's bodies were not a sign of plague infection, but rather a sign of large-scale poisoning by vicious people.
The trigger for this poisoning is the water and firewood consumed by every household in Xinjiang."
Jun Xiaochen frowned in thought, seemingly puzzled:
"firewood?"
“Yes, firewood.
The imperial physician had suspected this before and had checked the source of drinking water in Qiangcheng.
However, because the person who poisoned the water only put several kinds of specially prepared non-toxic pollen into the water source, nothing could be detected.
However, once this pollen meets the firewood used by the people of Qiangcheng to cook, it will quickly blend and produce gases that are highly toxic to the human body, causing the people of Qiangcheng to die gradually in pain.
Because the symptoms of the poison are similar to those of the plague, and the disease spreads at an alarming rate, the imperial doctors, preconceived in their minds that it was a plague, did not investigate further, leading to the current situation.
Xu Junjun sighed endlessly, and her words were full of regret for the innocent lives lost.
Although this is the apocalypse, all human lives are the same.
Watching so many innocent people die in a vicious murder, Xu Junjun was filled with anger and disgust for the murderer behind the scenes.
Being such a cruel and unscrupulous person, and committing such a serious sin of murder, he will go to hell and suffer eighteen kinds of torture after death, and bring disaster to his descendants.
Xu Junjun was cursing inwardly when she suddenly realized she was only in a book. Most of the people here had no souls after death. Her face froze instantly, and she lowered her eyes in desolation and sadness, fiddling with the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.
“This poison doesn’t last long, and it’s capable of causing widespread deaths among the people of Qiangcheng and several nearby cities. Someone must have been continuously poisoning the water source.
If you want to catch the murderer, just send people to monitor the water sources surrounding the cities."
After saying that, Xu Junjun put down her chopsticks, covered her eyes and chased the person away:
"I'm a little tired, you go first.
If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”
Jun Xiaochen did not leave. Instead, he stood up and walked to Xu Junjun's side, raised his hand and removed the palm that was covering her eyes.
Looking at the woman's red eyes, Jun Xiaochen felt as if his heart was pricked by a poisonous bee's stinger, causing him to ache for no reason.
“You did a great job on this.
If it weren't for you, Tianqi wouldn't know how many more people would have died in this conspiracy.
Xu Junjun, I thank you on behalf of the people of Tianqi."
The more they interacted, the more Jun Xiaochen could see the precious qualities of the woman in front of him.
She is like a bunch of fiery red plum blossoms growing on a high cliff. The heavier the wind and snow press on her, the more it can stimulate the color and fragrance in her bones.
In her world, there is no retreat or frustration, only the bright courage that never gives up.
Her tenacity and clarity are rare among women in the world.
This made Jun Xiaochen look sideways.
Xu Junjun looked up at the tall, calm man, and the feeling of powerlessness in her heart subsided a little. After a while, she sorted herself out and nodded heavily:
“Yes, I have tried my best.
The debt owed to the innocent people who died in the past should be repaid by the murderers who were behind the murders.
Jun Xiaochen, what follows is your responsibility."
Jun Xiaochen nodded firmly, stretched out his long fingers and touched the wet corners of Xu Junjun's eyes. The hot fingertips immediately made Xu Junjun shrink back and stared at him warily:
"What?
you can go now. "
Xu Junjun felt that Jun Xiaochen must have been poisoned this time. He was talking and doing things in a weird way today, which made her get goosebumps.
"Xu Junjun, Huo Qiming..."
Jun Xiaochen had never valued any woman so much. In the past years, he had always avoided women like the plague.
If he had not gone to the Great Sage to ask for a medicine because of poisoning, he would not have met Xu Junjun by chance and learned about the diversity of women in the world.
For example, she, and also another shrewd and intelligent Great Saint Imperial Noble Consort.
Right now, he wanted to know more about Xu Junjun, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he felt that it would offend her, so he stopped talking.
Hearing Huo Qiming's name, Xu Junjun frowned instantly and stared at Jun Xiaochen more unkindly:
"What happened to Huo Qiming?
What do you want him to do?
Did something happen to the Huo family? "
Jun Xiaochen was never a talkative person. When Xu Junjun heard him suddenly mention the Huo family, she thought something had happened to Madam Huo.
Jun Xiaochen withdrew his long finger and shook his head calmly:
“The Huo family is fine.
It was just a thought that came to my mind and I mentioned it casually.
You should rest early, I will come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Jun Xiaochen turned and left the room, leaving Xu Junjun alone, staring at his receding back in confusion.
She had been exhausted these past few days, with her mood fluctuating greatly. After dinner, Xu Junjun washed up and went to bed to rest.
As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Xu Junjun got up with her quilt in her arms, her hair a mess, and called out for help.
The maid heard the noise and pushed the door open, bringing hot water while helping Xu Junjun get up and change clothes.
Having been in the book for so long, Xu Junjun never asks others to do things like changing clothes unless she has difficulty with her hands and feet.
Except for combing your hair, of course.
She really couldn't comb the complicated and delicate hair styles of the ancients. If she were to do it, she would just do a high ponytail or a pigtail.
After having her maid help her tie her hair, Xu Junjun changed into a light yellow dress, drank a bowl of porridge, swallowed two or three steamed dumplings, and ran to Jun Xiaochen's yard.
I have to check the efficacy of the medicine today. I have to quickly check Jun Xiaochen's condition and then continue to prescribe the right medicine.
When she ran to Jun Xiaochen's courtyard, Xu Junjun saw five or six unfamiliar maids carrying breakfast into Jun Xiaochen's room.
Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaochen had not had breakfast today. Xu Junjun lifted her skirt and ran across the corridor and walked straight into the room.
In the room, the maids were setting the table, and Jun Xiaochen was changing clothes behind the screen.
Xu Junjun glanced at the figure on the screen, then curled her lips at the sumptuous table.
The servants in the City Lord's Mansion really knew how to serve different people to different people. The breakfast they gave Jun Xiaochen was much more sumptuous than hers.
Jun Xiaochen walked out from behind the screen and saw the woman standing at the door, a smile flashed in his eyes.
Xu Junjun went to meet Jun Xiaochen, glanced up and down, and saw that the paleness on his face had faded a little, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Not bad, not bad, it seems that the medicine I took last night was still somewhat effective.
I'll take your pulse later to see if the prescription needs adjusting."
Jun Xiaochen nodded:
"Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Xu Junjun had eaten in a hurry just now, and now she felt her stomach was still a little empty, so she followed Jun Xiaochen and prepared to eat some more together.
The two of them walked towards the table together, but they didn't notice that while the meal was being served, a cold light flashed from the sleeve of one of the maids.
