Chapter 179 Making trouble
Chapter 179 Making trouble
Magistrate Song had a direction for investigation and wanted to prove that he was different now. He immediately summoned the officers to investigate the matter.
"Sir, please go back to the county government office and live there. I've asked someone to prepare a room for you." said County Magistrate Song.
"No, it's troublesome to go back and forth. I live in the village and I have to check on the patients in the afternoon." Yunyue waved her hand.
County Magistrate Song immediately found someone and hurriedly arranged a place for Yunyue to live. It was an empty, dilapidated house in the village. County Magistrate Song said nervously that there were no other houses in the village. He originally wanted Yunyue to live in the village chief's house, but Yunyue refused.
Yunyue was not picky. As long as it could block the wind, it was fine. She took Banana Cherry into the shabby house and took a short rest. County Magistrate Song took people to investigate the poisoning in the well.
After a tiring night, Yunyue had just closed her eyes for a short while when she heard a noisy sound outside. She rubbed her groggy head, got up and walked out of the room.
I saw that the yard of the dilapidated hut was surrounded by villagers.
Yunyue frowned. Cherry Banana saw Yunyue got up and hurried over to greet her.
"Basho, what's going on?"
"My lord, these are the villagers outside who have come here after hearing the news. They...they said..." Basho hesitated.
"say what?"
"I don't know who leaked the master's identity. These people are the family members of those who died... They all threatened to avenge their families." Cherry took over the conversation, very angry.
Yunyue looked at the people outside who were looking at her hatefully. She saw that some of them were holding kitchen knives and some were holding hoes.
Seeing Yun Yue coming out, someone immediately started to curse: "Traitor, get out, traitor. He is Master Yue! The traitor prefect!"
"It's all because of you that my family members were killed. You have to pay for the lives of my family members!!!"
"If you hadn't killed Prefect Lin, how could you have been punished by God? You've caused us all to get the plague!"
"..."
"Hehe..." Yun Yue was so angry that she laughed.
"What? Did Magistrate Song not tell you? These people are not infected with the plague at all, but have been poisoned."
Some villagers looked at each other in bewilderment, but some still said angrily: "Even if the poison was done, it was because of you! We are honest and have never sinned against anyone!"
Oh, you really guessed it. Yunyue looked at him: "Oh? How do you know it's because of me? What evidence do you have?"
The man was panicked for a moment. "I... I just know it. We haven't offended anyone, why would they poison us? It must be because of you! I will kill you to make my family pay for their lives!"
Haha, poor quality.
Yun Yue looked at him with contempt and a look that seemed to see through everything, and said proudly, "I'm standing right here. Come and kill me if you have the guts."
The man was probably angry and threw the kitchen knife in his hand towards Yunyue.
Cherry Banana, who had been on alert for a long time, was about to take the knife. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly jumped in front of Yunyue. It turned out to be the madman she saw last night. The knife stabbed the madman's shoulder.
Seeing that the man really started fighting, Yun Yue looked at him coldly with murderous intent, "Catch him. Do you really think that a traitor like me has no temper? Today I will let you know what a traitor is!!"
The guards surrounded the villagers, and the rest of the people saw that the situation was not right. Some of them immediately turned around and ran away, but they were all captured by the guards one by one.
The man who threw away the kitchen knife took out another one from his waist and started fighting with the guards.
But it was obvious that he was no match for the guards and was quickly captured.
"Take him down, check his wounds, and apply some medicine. As for them, take them all to the county jail." Yun Yue asked the guards beside her to take the madman into the house. The other guards took the villagers who had caused the trouble to the county jail.
The madman didn't cry or make a fuss even though his shoulder was bleeding. He just smiled foolishly and was pulled in by the guards.
"Master, how can these villagers be so stupid! Master, you gave them tax refunds and exemptions, and sent them quilts and food! They are worse than a madman!" Cherry was so angry. She had seen several of them when she and County Magistrate Song were refunding taxes. She was so grateful to them at that time, but now they are like this. It's really unfair for the master! Disappointing!
He is worse than a madman, who would block the knife for his master just by giving him a cake.
"It's okay. I'm just being used as a gun. Banana Cherry, there's something I need you two to do..." Yun Yue leaned close to them and whispered.
……
Yunyue was not affected by this episode. She arranged for Yingtao Bajiao to do the work and left two guards for herself. In the afternoon, she went to the homes of the villagers who were poisoned to check them again.
Now everyone in the village knows that Yunyue is the prefect who gave them tax refunds and gifts.
Everyone was trembling with fear. Yun Yue felt their pulses, but no one dared to stretch out their hands. The children who were lying in bed and had been poisoned were even picked up by their parents.
This is the prefect! How dare you lie down and let him feel your pulse? What are you talking about? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life? Do you think your life is too long?
Except for the villagers who were arrested for causing trouble, the rest of the villagers were in awe and grateful to Yunyue. Not to mention this life, even in the past dozens of generations, they would never meet a prefect like Yunyue!
The prefect! That's the prefect! ! Not to mention the county magistrate, even the grooms working in the government office are high and mighty. They have to bow politely when they see him!
Now the prefect is actually treating them personally? Oh my God! I don’t want to wash my wrists that have been touched by the prefect in this life! It would scare people to death if I tell others about it! Not to mention the series of policies before the New Year. They are really grateful!
Even gods descending to earth are just like this! ! ! ! !
They also heard about the troubles of the villagers today. They were angry and contemptuous. Let's not talk about whether the poisoning was caused by the prefect. Even if it was, they couldn't be so conscienceless. If the prefect hadn't refunded them taxes and sent them clothes and food before the New Year, these heartless people would have starved to death and frozen to death! Are you still alive to make trouble here?
What's more, most of those people are rogues in the village. Who knows if they were instigated by others? Don't let them catch you! Otherwise, I will break their legs!
The villagers promised Yunyue in awe that they would watch carefully. If anyone was so heartless again, they would beat them to death without the governor having to do anything! They also promised that they would never be like those people who gave birth to children without anus and were ungrateful!
The children also knew that this was the prefect they admired the most, and they gave Yunyue their treasured treasures, slingshots, pine cones...
Yunyue did not despise them, and accepted each one of them happily and lovingly. Then she stroked their heads and told them gently: "Life will get better and better in the future. Grow up well, and it won't be long before you can all go to school..."
Before Yun Yue could finish her words, the child was kicked on the knee by his parents and fell to the ground. He was then forced to kowtow to Yun Yue: "Why don't you thank the prefect quickly? We will never forget Master Yue's kindness!"
Those villagers who originally had a trace of resentment in their hearts now had no emotion at all.
Poisoning gave the child a chance to go to school. Damn those bastards! Why didn't they poison the child earlier!!! Even if all the adults died, they would be happy to have a child alive! Absolutely no complaints! Even if they become ghosts, they will speak well of Master Yue in the afterlife!
Many elderly people in the family gave Yunyue the little good things they had hidden in the corners, such as a piece of moldy cloth, a piece of smoked meat that they were reluctant to eat during the New Year, a crude silver hairpin... All of them were stuffed into Yunyue's pockets.
Yunyue had to accept them, otherwise the group of old people would sit on the ground and cry. They said that the prefect despised old women, and she would die with regret.
Yunyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to let the guard take it, feeling deeply moved.
He turned around and whispered to the guard to ask someone to bring over the medicinal materials and buy some meat.
When they came out in the afternoon, they were empty-handed, but now that the consultation was over, Yun Yue and the guards around her not only had their arms full, but also had things hanging around their necks.
"Master, there are still many people with conscience." The guard who had experienced the riot in the morning said with relief. His originally cold heart warmed up again at this moment.
"Yes, most people are simple-minded. There will always be people who remember what we do. So there is no need to doubt what we do just because of a few bastards."
The guard nodded and couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Yunyue swearing.
