Chapter 1498 The Final Battle, Elder Xun Contracts the Plague
"I am not a spy!" After shouting this, Councilor Su was so exhausted that his vision went black. The imperial guards, who were skilled in medicine, quickly gave him acupuncture to keep him alive and prevent him from dying.
The villagers retorted, "Just because you say you're not a spy doesn't mean you aren't! During wartime chaos, you were exactly what a spy did!"
The villagers were furious and continued to berate Councilor Su.
"Silence!" Qi Tianshi shouted personally. His voice was distinctive, and after he shouted three times, the Wei people shut up.
Qi the Angel stepped forward and walked to Su the Councilor's side. Seeing that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand your intentions, but the trouble you have caused deserves to be condemned."
Does Qi Tianshi understand?
Councilor Su looked up, his eyes filled with surprise, then lowered his head again... He was telling Angel Qi that she had guessed correctly.
His deliberate leak of evidence, leaving his fingerprint on the correspondence, did indeed indicate a deliberate attempt to expose that there was a mastermind behind him with far-reaching influence, leaving him with no choice but to comply.
He has limited abilities and cannot find out the mastermind, but he will leave the court with doubts so that the court can investigate based on these doubts.
Fortunately, Qi Tianshi was exceptionally talented and understood his deliberate attempt to expose his weakness.
Qi Tianshi raised his hand and gently patted Su Canzheng's shoulder. Facing Wei Min, he said, "Don't be smug. Don't think that you can protect the mastermind behind this by being unwilling to surrender. Ha, as long as I, the angel, live, I will surely find the mastermind behind this chaos for His Majesty and the country and make him severely punished!"
These words were spoken to Councilor Su so that he might rest in peace; they were also spoken to the masterminds and subordinates who oversaw the execution.
Mr. Wen Tao not only heard it, but also saw Qi Tianshi's gaze sweep over him. His legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Wen Xiangnan helped him up, then quickly let go, and asked cautiously, "Uncle, do you have a fever?"
You don't have the rat plague, do you?
Wen Tao glanced at him sideways, his gaze extremely cold. Wen Xiangnan was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, then reached out to help him up: "If Uncle falls ill, I will take care of you... Our Wen clan is dwindling in number. Those of us who are still alive should support each other to get through this calamity."
"Heh, survive this ordeal?" Wen Tao sneered, thinking that the young man was too dreamy, thinking that everything would be fine after surviving this ordeal.
But this calamity of being besieged by foreign enemies and plague was merely the beginning of chaos in the Great Wei.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Great Wei is in grave danger... If we lose, our land will be occupied by foreign enemies; if we win, our national strength will be depleted, and ambitious individuals will rise up in droves.
This is why powerful and influential families stubbornly guard their assets and refuse to contribute them to the war effort.
Since you're about to die, we naturally need to conserve our strength to carve out a new world for ourselves.
Tsk tsk, when will this insidious old opportunist finally die? So many people have died, how come he just won't die?
Boom boom boom!
After a loud drumbeat, the Wei army shouted, "Commander Qin, Commander Jiang, Master Qin, and General Alan have arrived!"
Qin and Jiang also came to watch the execution.
Their arrival caused a sensation at the scene.
"It's Master Qin! The National Weapon Manufacturing Team has arrived!!" Chief Lü led the cheers, showing his support and enthusiasm.
The people of Wei in this prefecture were relieved to see them arrive.
Even Councilor Su strained his head to look for Qin and Jiang in the crowd... He found them, but they were just a bunch of moving 'burlap sacks'.
Wearing a large smock, when she walks around, she really looks like a moving burlap sack.
But Councilor Su was still pleased... With such a young and capable person existing, Great Wei would not perish easily.
Qin and Jiang remained silent. They had come to witness the execution only to support their uncle and let the lackeys of the mastermind in the city know that the most important weapon of the Great Wei stood behind the King of Ye.
dong dong dong dong!
"Su Changyi, unwilling to remain in charge of government affairs in the infected city, harbored a vicious intention to perish with the people of Wei..." The messenger read out the charges and confessions of Councilor Su, Chief Steward Zhao, Deputy Treasury Manager Qian, and others, and then displayed a row of evidence.
Noon...
"Behead him and display his head to uphold justice!" Qi Tianshi shouted.
The Wei soldiers raised their swords and brought them down... the sound of beheading continued for more than a quarter of an hour, after all, there were too many criminals.
Many Wei citizens couldn't help but cover their ears and squat down, and quite a few even vomited.
Wen Tao almost vomited all the bile and wished he could faint on the spot, but he didn't. He was tortured until Councilor Su was beheaded.
Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the ground.
Bang bang bang bang bang! A group of Wei civilians couldn't withstand the impact and fainted one after another.
Military doctors and Wei soldiers with some first aid skills went to provide assistance, and no one died.
dong dong dong dong!
After the drums stopped, the King of Ye stood on the makeshift platform and shouted: "As people of Wei, when facing foreign enemies, we must fight to the death! The world will not tolerate those who are cowardly and rebellious, who would disrupt their own city in order to survive! The lessons of the past are here; I hope the people of Wei will take heed!"
After saying this, he turned around and leaped over the high platform to pay his respects to Grandpa Qin and chat with Qin Jiang and the other person.
"Brother-in-law, I was afraid you'd fall when you flew like that just now. Don't do that next time; the risk of embarrassment is too great," Uncle Qin whispered to himself.
If we weren't outside, Grandpa Qin would have already hit him: "Shut up, let Da Bao's dad talk to Da Lang and Xiaomi about serious matters."
Jiang Dalang recounted the progress of the gun and gunpowder pack production to the King of Ye: "The existing stock is enough to destroy an entire city; it can take the head of an enemy general from nearly a thousand meters away."
The Prince of Ye was extremely excited upon hearing this, and then looked at Qin Xiaomi: "Niece, how is the gray mold culture going? How many more days will it take to successfully culture it?"
Qin Xiaomi: "Choosing the strain and cultivating the bacteria takes seven days, but this strain cannot be used as medicine. What can be used as medicine is the toxin, which is a toxin secreted by this strain. To obtain this streptomycin, the bacteria need to be fermented for about seven days. If you are lucky enough to succeed on the first try, it will still take half a month to produce the medicine."
This?
It's likely that a large number of infected people won't be able to wait that long.
I've also heard that it's difficult to cultivate with fungi, and you might not succeed even after dozens of attempts...
The King of Ye quickly suppressed his bad thoughts and smiled at Qin Jiang and the other man, saying, "You are both excellent. Focus on your work. Leave the other matters of guarding the city and maintaining stability within the city to us, sir."
He said it with a smile, but he was very worried. Two rare talents, two rare treasures... But if the whole city were to perish for their country, how could he deliver such a precious technology to His Majesty?
Boom boom boom boom boom!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The enemy troops, as if possessed, relentlessly attacked the west gate.
The entire western city wall was shaking, and the whole western part of the city was trembling slightly, as if an earthquake had struck.
The Wei people who witnessed the execution were initially in shock, but quickly recovered: "Damn enemy beasts, they keep using feigned attacks to scare us. If they have the guts, why don't they just attack into the city!"
He was beaten by a mob, and everyone angrily called him a jinx.
"The enemy has started again... Xiao Gu is on guard duty inside the street corner. I was worried it wasn't safe outside, so I didn't let him come over. You can wave to him, that counts as meeting him. After you've met him, hurry back to Mushan..." Ye Wang pointed out Qin Xiao Gu's location to them and quickly explained the situation of Qin Xiao Gu, Xiao Mai, Xiao Zhu, and Da Bao'er.
"Grandpa, Second Uncle, Sister Xiaomi, Brother Dalang, I'm fine, please take care of yourselves too!" Qin Xiaogu had been watching them, and when she saw them looking over, she quickly stood on the table and waved to them.
Grandpa Qin and Qin Xiaomi were very pleased. After waving goodbye and saying a few words to him, they boarded the carriage without even saying goodbye to Chief Lü and the others, and rushed back to Mushan.
On the bus, Qin Xiaomi wrote another letter about how to ferment mycotoxin and had it sent to Old Man Xun in the East City ward.
