Chapter 1618 Siege the City, Massive Attack

Xu San was stunned. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be angry. It's my fault. I've caused trouble for you."

He just looked at Brother Lu's pity and was afraid that Brother Lu would be bullied by Madam Lu, so he wanted to help. He never thought that he would catch Shopkeeper Lu's strange disease.

Xu Da cursed: "It's too small for you to cause trouble for me. Have you ever thought about my mother again? What will my mother do if you die?"

When my father died, my mother was already sad enough. She longed for the three brothers to be well, but the third child wanted to die.

Brother Lu felt very guilty after hearing this, and was about to kneel down to apologize again, but was stopped by Xu Da: "Stop kneeling down, your father saved the third child from drowning before. This time he can repay your family's kindness."

The rules of the Lei family caravan are to repay kindness.

Xu Da kept this rule in mind and said to Brother Lu: "Now that there is chaos in the city and you are young, you will live in my house during this period. If something happens, you can run to the main house and take shelter. As for your family's property, Son, don’t worry, if Madam Lu dares to swallow your share of the family property, the Lei family caravan will help you get it back."

Brother Lu was overjoyed and said with tears, "Thank you so much, Brother Xu."

"No thanks, come with me quickly. The main house also needs to be cleaned up to prevent poisonous insects from hiding in invisible places and harming our people." The sixth manager arrested them as coolies and assigned them work. They get busy.

Then he said to Doctor Zhang: "Go back to the pharmacy quickly. I guess the second manager has received the news and is waiting for you over there."

"Hey, I'll be there right now. You guys should be careful." Doctor Zhang immediately left with the medicine box on his back and went to the main pharmacy.

Sure enough, the second manager was already waiting in the courtyard of the pharmacy. When he saw him, he immediately said: "Doctor Zhang, come quickly and talk to the doctors and medicine boys about the poisonous insect disease. What should I do? Send me a message." The whole main house is at your disposal."

Doctor Zhang is currently the only one in the Lei family's caravan who has cured poisonous insect diseases, so he must use it extensively.

When Dr. Zhang heard this, he was a little excited thinking that he could finally carry the banner. After calming down, he went over and told everyone about the poisonous insect disease.

…

In the living room in the front yard, Master Yu had already told Lei Mao about Gao Lei's words.

Lei Mao: "My aunt must have wanted me to invite Magistrate Hao to submit a memorial to the capital. She was also afraid that Qi Tongzhi would take the lead and submit the memorial in advance, breaking the rules of chief officials and assistant officials."

"The situation is urgent now. There is no need to make an extra trip. I will personally take Magistrate Hao to another hospital. If you have anything to say, my aunt will tell him personally."

Master Yu Yu thought for a while and said, "It works."

Lei Mao stood up and said to Lei Shu: "You and Doctor Fang go to various wells to lure poisonous insects. As long as you are here, even people from Qi Tongzhi will not dare to cause trouble for Doctor Fang."

"Yes." Lei Shu is the chief steward of the main house and is Lei Mao's confidant. Generally, if Lei Mao is not around, he will handle all matters.

There was also a very powerful third steward who took the brothers from the Lei family's caravan to the city tower to help defend the city.

"Doctor Fang, let's go." Lei Shu greeted Dr. Fang, called a group of brothers, and used a carriage to take Dr. Fang to various wells in the city, using insect attractants to lure out the poisonous insects in the wells.

Lei Shu was already a very stable person, but he was frightened when he saw hundreds of poisonous insects crawling out of the well: "Quickly, burn them with fire!"

The brothers immediately poured pine oil and started a fire.

As soon as the whirring sound started, a raging fire was ignited within a foot of the well, and the poisonous insects were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Doctor Fang said: "We have to lure them again to prevent some poisonous insects from crawling slowly and hiding in the well."

Lei Shu said: "Doctor Fang, there are many wells in the city, and many people are suffering from poisonous insect diseases. You still have a lot of things to do. Why don't you leave two insect attractants for the brothers and let them attract the insects themselves? , let’s rush to the next well.”

"Sure." Doctor Fang agreed. After leaving two copies of the insect attractant to the brothers, he also explained some details about how to be careful about poisonous insects, and then followed Lei Shu to the next well.

Lei Mao had already rushed to the tower to find Magistrate Hao.

But Magistrate Hao and General Liang were in dire straits now, and the soldiers guarding the city were also suffering from strange illnesses. Many soldiers suddenly fainted, could not breathe, and had severe pain in their abdomens.

"How, but we found a way to treat him?!" General Liang asked the military doctor.

The six military doctors in the Fucheng garrison camp are very good at treating wounds from weapons, but where have they ever seen such a strange disease?

Doctor Xu, the oldest and most skilled in medicine, said: "General Liang, I have never seen this disease before. I guess it is caused by poisoning by soldiers."

General Liang almost wanted to draw his sword when he heard this, and said angrily: "Of course I know that the soldiers' illnesses were poisoned by the soldiers, but what kind of poison is it? You can cure it!"

Old Doctor Xu felt aggrieved: "Don't be anxious, I need to study it."

"You're still doing nothing. More than two hundred brothers have fallen. If they fall again, if the Rong people attack the city tonight..." General Liang, as the commander-in-chief, shut up in time and did not say anything to shake the morale of the army.

But after so many soldiers fell, the morale of the army was already shattered.

When Master Yu saw this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Mao, it's a poisonous insect disease! Old doctor Fang gave me a bag of insect attractant, take it to deworm the soldiers."

Lei Mao nodded, took the insect attractant, went directly to Magistrate Hao, and asked Magistrate Hao to call out the angry General Liang, and tell the Rong people about using birds to release poisonous insects into the city, as well as the poisonous insect disease and insect trapping and killing. He said: "If you two adults don't believe it, you can try this insect attractant immediately."

General Liang snatched the bag, stuffed it into Dr. Xu's hand, and shouted, "Hurry up and try it!"

Old Doctor Xu was dumbfounded: "I have been a military doctor for decades and have dealt with soldiers so many times. I have never heard of such a terrifying poisoning method."

"Stop talking nonsense and do what Master Yu said." General Liang was so anxious that he almost wanted to chop up the old military doctor.

Doctor Xu hurriedly called all the military doctors. After listening to Master Yu's instructions on how to use the medicine, he immediately started taking action.

Originally, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that poisonous insects were actually lured out of the soldiers' bodies.

"Ah! Bugs, there are really bugs in the bodies of the soldiers!" A military doctor screamed in fright and hurriedly backed away.

General Liang was so angry that he kicked him and cursed: "Why are you retreating? Collect the bugs quickly and wait for them to crawl into the bodies of other soldiers?!"

The frightened military doctor finally came to his senses and quickly put the poisonous insects into a bowl as Master Yu said, collected them and gave them to the soldiers to be burned to death.

The guys worked hard for half an hour and used up a bag of insect attractants.

"There are still soldiers who are sick, hurry up and get medicine!" General Liang shouted.

Lei Mao said: "You have to ask the old lady for this medicine. If General Liang and Magistrate Hao want to get the medicine, they will go to the other courtyard to meet the old lady."

This insect attractant is a precious thing that can save all living creatures in Dachu. Such a thing will definitely bring great achievements, and it may also become a big disaster, so Lei Mao did not dare to say more, but asked them to see the old lady.

The old lady has the final say as to what benefits she will exchange for this medicine.

In short, this credit cannot be given to General Liang and Magistrate Hao in vain, it must be in the hands of the Lei family caravan and the Qin Gu family.
