Chapter 69 Disaster Victims Making Trouble
With these words, Magistrate Wang finally felt relieved.
Nangong Ling set about asking people to develop an antidote, so naturally he would not relax his purpose of investigating the poisoning by the person behind the scenes.
But things never go so smoothly.
Emotions among the refugees erupted.
Only on the third day, the guard who had been guarding the crematorium hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, some victims are making trouble at the crematorium and want us to return the bodies."
Nangong Ling frowned.
The man continued: "After hearing that it was not an epidemic but poisoning and not contagious, the victims were extremely excited."
"What's more, they want to take away the corpses we brought before they had time to burn."
Also, the people in this place originally believed in burying the whole body, but now that there is no epidemic, how could they still let people burn the bodies of their loved ones?
But Nangong Ling's face immediately darkened.
Even if it is not an epidemic, the accumulation of corpses will cause more trouble!
He stood up and said coldly: "I will go and see for myself."
The guards quickly followed.
Nangong Ling had just left the camp, and Feng Jiuqing also knew it.
She looked at An Qi depressedly, "Your prince is in such a hurry, where are you going?"
She still remembered how Nangong Ling shamelessly asked him about the medicinal powder two days ago.
To be honest, it has been determined to be poisonous. If the situation improves, there should be no surprises in Lingshui County.
An Qi looked solemn and said: "I heard that the victims were upset and wanted the prince to return all the bodies. "
Feng Jiuqing couldn't help but think of the remarks she heard in Lingshui County a few days ago, and her expression immediately became serious.
After thinking for a moment, she wondered: "Then what do you think Nangong Ling will do?"
"With the prince's temperament, it will naturally be suppressed by force." An Qi did not hesitate, "Even if it is not an epidemic, the accumulation of dead bodies in the city will cause more serious problems."
Feng Jiu listened and stopped worrying about this.
She asked again: "It's been two days, and the doctor hasn't developed an antidote yet?"
An Qi shook his head.
Obviously, although the stone was found, the poison on it was very difficult to explain.
Feng Jiuqing thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed. Looking at An Qi's expression again, An Qi's eagle eyes were indeed looking at her with hesitant words.
She couldn't help teasing, "If you want me to help your prince, just say so."
After a pause, he smiled again, "I'm a very soft-hearted person. If I hadn't thought of you saying that Nangong Ling wanted to protect me...heh, I wouldn't have helped him again."
An Qi's usually expressionless face raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He cupped his hands and thanked her, "Thank you, Princess."
"Then go and help me prepare something. I have been idle these past two days. I have been thinking about the medicinal properties of the poisonous stone for a while, and I have some ideas."
Feng Jiuqing immediately called, and her eyes were already filled with eagerness to try.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
As soon as Nangong Ling led people to the crematorium, from a distance, he saw a group of strong men dressed as victims gathering together.
Looking at their hands, they all had weapons raised, fighting against the guards who stayed behind. The atmosphere was tense.
"King Sheng is here!"
And at this moment, someone shouted something.
"Quick! Do it quickly, we have no way out!"
The shouting voice was full of fear of Nangong Ling, obviously afraid of Nangong Ling's reputation for killing.
This severely attracted the victims who were carrying weapons.
Although a group of people is a mob, if they hold weapons, everyone is lethal.
Being shouted at like this, I was even more frightened.
Some people ran away, while others fled in panic. With fierce eyes, they rushed towards Nangong Ling.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The secret guard had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately rushed out to protect Nangong Ling.
Nangong Ling snorted coldly, and without even looking at the man who was rushing towards him, he turned his head to avoid the hoe that was slashing at his neck. He put his foot on the man's chest.
That person is just a common man. How can he be the opponent of someone with such high martial arts skills?
Everyone saw this man being kicked into the air. When they regained consciousness, Nangong Ling had already broken into the crowd of victims single-handedly!
Just outside the crowd, Nangong Ling could clearly see the person shouting.
As a result, the person who wanted to run away after shouting a second ago didn't even react. Nangong Ling was already in front of him.
The man's eyes widened and he subconsciously wanted to run.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Ling moved as fast as lightning, grabbed his neck and held him down.
"Protect the prince!"
The other guards came to their senses one after another and rushed to join the battlefield without saying a word.
Nangong Ling had already pinched the man and said coldly: "Tell me, who asked you to come!"
Nangong Ling's martial arts skills were unparalleled. After this man tried to struggle for a while, he knew that there was no possibility of escaping.
He immediately struggled and shouted to the frightened victims around him: "King Sheng...has killed someone..."
As soon as he said this, as if to confirm, Nangong Ling coldly twisted his neck.
This person instantly turned into a corpse.
I don't know who made a cry of fear, and the crowd immediately dropped their tools and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Sir, please spare my life!"
Nangong Ling shocked everyone in one fell swoop. Looking at the crowd kneeling on the ground, the coldness in his eyes did not ease at all.
He looked at everyone coldly and said: "Whoever dares to disobey this king's order will end up like this!"
Now, who dares to speak out?
Everyone was submissive and did not dare to say a word.
Magistrate Wang also just arrived at this time.
Seeing the leading young men, they couldn't care less and hurried forward, "Liu Dazhuang, what are you doing here? Are you making trouble?"
He is a good official who loves the people as his son, otherwise he would not do everything personally.
The man named Liu Dazhuang immediately raised his head and said with a look of oppression: "My lord, the county magistrate, I just want my mother's body to be returned and buried properly..."
"Say what you say!" Magistrate Wang hated that iron could not become steel.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Nangong Ling, and begged: "Your Highness, Prince Sheng, don't be like this country man."
"These people, all the lower officials, know the details very well. They are usually as timid as mice, which means they are a little stupid. For the sake of filial piety, don't argue with them."
Nangong Ling glanced at him with a cold look.
Magistrate Wang suddenly swallowed his saliva.
Nangong Ling sneered lightly, but she didn't expose his thoughts. She just pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Do you recognize this person?"
When Magistrate Wang heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. He really didn't want to pursue the matter with him.
He lowered his head to look at the corpse on the ground. He was still a little distressed at first, but when he looked at the extremely unfamiliar face of the person on the ground, he suddenly became suspicious.
"This person... doesn't seem to be from Lingshui County."
After a pause, he called Liu Dazhuang and several others to ask.
These guys who were noisy before were all dumbfounded now.
