"What are these?" Yan Chengen rubbed his nose, pointing to a pile of unclear shapes placed on the ground of the camp. Although it was held far away, the stench was so strong that people wanted to put it on the ground. Nose blocked.

The old traces are also unpleasant, the smell is terrible, "We found these from the water source on the mountain."

"Water source?" Yan Chengen's eyes widened, as if he understood something, he stood up abruptly.

"Exactly." Chen Ji nodded and looked at Jia Amnesty, "Jia Shilang guessed that there might be a problem with the water source. After we went there, we found that people had thrown these things into the water source."

Yan Chengen didn't care about covering his nose anymore, he stepped forward to get closer to those things, picked up the wooden stick next to them and looked at them, "Is it these things that caused the plague?"

"The imperial doctors have seen it, and it is indeed these things." Qin Jian said in a deep voice: "These are the corpses of cattle and sheep. These cattle and sheep should have been burned after they got sick and died, but they were put into the water source on the mountain by someone with a heart, and accumulated over time. , became the source of the plague.”

"No wonder those barbarians didn't come to play Caogu these days!" Yan Chengen's hands trembled. This season was the time when those barbarians came to visit Caogu, but the barbarians have not come so far, so it was because of this idea.

Those savages are very poisonous, if no one finds out that there is a problem with the water source, the plague will gradually spread, and the soldiers and people will die and flee, and the strength of the gate will be weakened At that time, when they raise their troops to the south, the border will be like a paper tiger, and they will be thrown down easily.

"We have already reported this matter to the capital, and the Holy One will definitely make arrangements." Jia Amnesty said, "The water cannot be drunk for the time being. There is only one way to deal with it—dig a well."

The water in the well is groundwater, not from the same source as the water on the mountain, and even if it is infiltrated, it is limited.

"This is easy," Yan Chengen said hesitantly: "Someone in our army can drill wells, but it will take some time to find a source of water." The implication is to ask what to do with the water these days ?

This person can breathe without food for seven days, but he will die if he does not drink water for three days.

It's okay if you don't know that there is a problem with the water source, but whoever knows can drink it.

"This problem is easy to handle." Chen Ji said suddenly: "The two brothers Chen Jiu wrote to me, and they will bring people to escort the official Yan here today. Come buy water from the town."

Chen Jiu?

Jia Amnesty flicked his fingers, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Are these two relatives of Mr. Chen?"

"It's not considered relatives, just the same surname," Chen Ji said with a smile, "Though these two brothers are young, they acted prudently and safely, and nothing happened. If Jia Shilang is interested in them, I will let them meet you at that time." face."

young?Jia Amnesty has already somewhat confirmed that the two Chen Ji mentioned are brothers Chen Jiu and Chen Heng. When did these two brothers join the army?This is not a small business, and it is not that ordinary people will absolutely not be able to afford this business.

Jia Amnesty did not suspect that the two brothers were playing tricks, but was a little surprised.

He didn't really believe it until he saw Chen Jiu and Chen Heng brothers.

"As expected, it's you." Jia She smiled and lifted the excited brothers, and took a closer look. The brothers looked much more mature than when they left.

Chen Jiu rubbed the back of his head, smiled shyly, "Master Jia."

"Sit down." Jia Amnesty said, reaching out to pour a cup of tea for the two, "Tell me what happened in the past few months. You two brothers are really capable."

Before he left, he gave the two brothers a sum of money, but that sum of money was not enough for them to spend money to bribe people. Jia She was really curious about the experiences of these two people.

Chen Jiu was a little embarrassed, but Chen Heng was very straightforward and told the story in detail.

Jia Amnesty's expression changed from calm to astonishment, and then to surprise as he narrated.

The experience of these two people can be said to be a blessing in disguise. Although the two brothers have been engaged in the salt industry with their father since childhood, they are still young after all. It is inevitable that someone underestimated them. The salt well could not get out of the salt well, but the man did not expect that these two were young, and their minds were no less than others. He bet against each other and took this opportunity to win back all the other party's things, which made the guy who thought of a thousand things suffer a lot.

Coincidentally, that person was doing business with the customs here, and the delivery was supposed to be made when the time limit came, but the salt well and the salt land were taken away by the two brothers, and the person who couldn't deliver the goods wanted to use Chen Ji's hand to kill him The two brothers, but the two brothers came to the door directly to negotiate with the Chen family, and shared a [-]% of the profits with the Chen family, and the Chen family immediately regretted it.

All these incidents seemed to be aided by a god, but Jia She knew that if the two brothers hadn't been courageous and capable, they would have been taken apart by others.

"Farewell to Taoist priests for three days, let's see each other. Today I can see you two." Jia Amnesty admired the two brothers from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Jiu quickly waved his hands and said: "My lord's words make our brothers feel ashamed. If not for your lord's generous help back then, I'm afraid my father's revenge would not be avenged, and I have also heard about what your lord did in Beijing. My lord must think that our brother is just a fluke."

Chen Heng smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know, my elder brother has set up a longevity tablet for you wherever he goes, and goes in every temple to pray for your safety. Originally, we planned to turn around after delivering the salt." Go to the capital and send you the money I earned these days."

Jia Amnesty was stunned, and looked at Chen Jiu in surprise.

Chen Jiu's face was blushing, and I have to say here, a black handsome face with two blobs of plateau red, that's as shy as you want.

"Ahem." Jia Amnesty didn't have the cheekiness to think that he likes him, but he just thinks that this person is really an honest person, "Thank you."

Chen Jiu scratched his forehead: "This is what I should do."

The Chen Jiu brothers still had something to explain to the buddy. Chen Heng gave him all the profits of Jia Amnesty from the money he earned these days, which relieved Jia Amnesty's urgent need.

"Master Jia."

As soon as he rode out from the city, Jia She saw Chen Si head-on.

"What's the matter?" Jia She asked.

Chen Si reined in the reins: "My master invites you to go to his tent, we have important matters to discuss."

Have something to discuss?

Jia Amnesty frowned, and rode his horse towards the camp.

"What happened?" Jia Amnesty lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.

Qin Jianshen held a letter in his hand, "Look at this."

Seeing his unwavering expression, Jia She already had some bad premonition in his heart, but after reading the whole letter, the expression on his face was a little weird.

"Is this really the letter written by the Holy One?" Jia She sat down, his mind full of confusion.

It shouldn't be, what happened this time, Majesty?Are you so ruthless?He has only two sons, so tempting, isn't he playing with fire?

If this is a bad one, and the Holy One has no successors, what will we do then?

Qin Jianshen lowered his head, Jia Amnesty couldn't see his expression, but he vaguely knew that he was in a bad mood for some reason.

Jia She pursed his lower lip. Although he didn't know the relationship between Shengshang and Qin Jianshen. Qin Jianshen and Shengshen were neither relatives nor relatives, but they won the trust of His Majesty and benefited him, but he trusted Qin Jianshen. Deep, just as Qin Jianshen trusted him.

"Drink with me." Qin Jianshen said suddenly.

When men are in a bad mood, most of them want to drink, either to relieve their sorrows, or to numb themselves.

No matter what the reason was, Jia Amnesty didn't ask any more questions, but silently arranged for two horses to take a few jars of wine and Qin Jianshen to the nearby hilltop.

The evening wind is blowing on the mountain, the rustling autumn wind brings infinite autumn, and dotted stars are dotted in the night sky.

Chen Si stood guard nearby, not letting others approach.

A pot of wine entered the mouth, and the throat-burning bamboo leaves had a long aftertaste. Qin Jianshen drank the wine in silence. He drank the strong wine as if he was drinking water, and his face was expressionless.

Jia Amnesty bent one foot, held the wine jar in his hand, and looked up at the sky while drinking.

In a daze, he remembered his previous life. He was a young and ambitious young prime minister. He was appointed prime minister at the age of 16, and became the emperor's teacher at the age of 19. If he was in a prosperous age, he should have been proud of his horseshoe disease, but in a troubled age, human life is like a waste, even if he is a king. is also like this.

The day before the city was broken, he and the little emperor also had a night of drinking on the top of the mountain. At that time, the little emperor had been drinking all night, and at dawn, he suddenly said to him: "Today the capital city It must be broken. What they want is the life of the widow. I heard that their rewards are quite a lot. Master, why not take the head of the widow and go there. With the ability of the master, this troubled world will definitely be brought to peace."

At that time, he didn't say anything, he didn't doubt the little emperor's words, but although he thought he wasn't a very good person, he definitely wasn't someone who would betray his friends.His heart has always been small, and he can't hold too many people.So, after leaving behind everything that could be left to benefit posterity, he killed himself.

"I have a story, I wonder if you will listen to it or not?" Qin Jianshen said suddenly after taking a sip of his wine.

Jia Amnesty raised the corners of her lips, "There is wine and stories, why would I not want to hear them?"
