On the second floor of the Lin's Inn, Zhou Qingfeng was standing on the stage, waving his hands and shouting, "Publicity, publicity, publicity. The most important thing now is publicity." In front of him were several core members of his team, including Xu Bing, Old Man Sun, Sun Ren, and others. Surprisingly, Tan Feng, who had only been here for a few days, was also sitting in the corner and listening. He was stunned.
"The focus now is to use this incident to launch a publicity offensive, so that the people in the west of the city understand the current bad situation they are in, and also to let them understand that they can only be safe by relying on us.
Didn't we recruit a few poor old scholars and let them go to the streets to preach? Also, spend some money to hire a few storytellers to spread today's incident everywhere. For example, our Yamen Runner Tan did a good job. He arrived at the first time and treated the patient as soon as possible. He was fearless and worthy of praise. "
After dealing with the emergency situation on the street, the first thing Zhou Qingfeng did when he came back was not to immediately deal with the possible plague, but to arrange the publicity work. He wanted to take such a great opportunity to strengthen his relationship with thousands of residents in the west of the city and enhance his prestige. For this matter, he would do anything.
The task of publicity did not cause any objection, including Wang Kunpeng, Cai Zhiwei, and others nodded and got up to arrange. Tan Feng was stunned when he was singled out for praise, but he still had follow-up work to do. But before everyone left, Xu Bing deliberately stood up to distribute medicine to everyone.
"Typhoid is a serious infectious disease, ordinary doctors have no special treatment. But we have special medicine. "Xu Bing carried a bucket of medicine and gave everyone a small bowl. When everyone heard that there was a medicine that could prevent it, they all drank it happily. Even Zhou Qingfeng was no exception.
Xu Bing specially reminded everyone to pay attention to food hygiene, not to eat dirty and cold food. This point had been emphasized many times by Zhou Qingfeng in the past, and everyone agreed. And when the publicity meeting ended, Xu Bing approached Zhou Qingfeng and whispered, "You plan to do publicity for this incident? What should we do next? "
"What do you think will happen?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Typhoid is caused by Bacillus typhi. This disease is currently a very terrifying and even incurable disease. If this news were to spread, the casualties would be disastrous. However, we have a lot of drugs in the hospital in the space-time island, and the most effective one is chloramphenicol. Currently, the typhoid bacillus did not have much drug resistance, and only a small amount could control the disease.
The chloramphenicol that you got has all been turned into a potion by me. Currently, it is being distributed everywhere like the coptis potion. It is mainly for the weak to take first, and then it will be popularized to the residents of the western part of the city. I believe this incident can be smoothly passed. The only thing we need to consider now is that Elegant Spring Brothel. I don't understand why a brothel would target us. "
Xu Bing's consideration was a normal response. Zhou Qingfeng sneered at her question, "Why? Because we took in the women who escaped from the brothel. The relevant report was sent directly to me. You may not have seen it. I didn't think that a brothel's madam would come up with such an idea to retaliate, but the focus now is not on Elegant Spring Brothel. "
"You don't plan to deal with this Elegant Spring Brothel?" From Xu Bing's point of view, Zhou Qingfeng would definitely retaliate against Elegant Spring Brothel. He might even kill a few people.
However, Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said coldly, "Elegant Spring Brothel's method reminded me that there is nothing more terrible than a plague in this world. It doesn't matter if it is a large-scale outbreak or just a small outbreak. I want this plague to spread. "
"What do you want to do?" Xu Bing looked puzzled.
"We have a special medicine."
"I asked you what you want to do?"
"As you said, Nurhachi is likely to attack Fushun in advance."
"Go on …"
"I don't want to escape to other places. I'm not satisfied with just taking in a few hundred people in Fushun, making some money, and then being chased away like a stray dog. I want to fight with Nurhachi here. Nurhachi is not strong enough now. When he really starts to attack Daming and obtain a large number of people and resources, we won't be able to touch him easily. "
"What does this have to do with the plague?"
"I want to use this plague to seize power."
"So you want to take the initiative to spread the plague?"
"The four patients we took in carried a large amount of typhoid bacillus. I arranged for Old Man Sun to throw their feces into the city's well. According to the book, it only takes 48 hours for the outbreak of food-borne typhoid. Within two days, the whole city will be invaded by the plague. At that time, only our place will be a safe island.
Even the officials of the Fu Shun Qianhu Residence were helpless in the face of the plague and had to retreat. The people here will rely on me in fear of death, pledge their allegiance to me, worship me, and I can use this to obtain a large amount of manpower and resources. The whole city will be under my control. "Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand and clenched his fist, his expression fierce.
"Then many people will die." Xu Bing said coldly.
"So what? When Nurhachi attacks, they will either die or be captured as slaves. It's better to let some of them die in exchange for the survival of more people. If they are used by me, it will have some practical effect. This is better than the city's population being wasted by that idiot Li Yongfang.
Do you still remember the book I found in the technical school's library, 'A Brief History of the War of the Ming and Qing Dynasties'? It clearly states that in the battle of Fushun in 1618, Houjin took Fushun and the surrounding 300,000 people and livestock. You should know that Nurhachi has a total population of less than 500,000. If I don't do anything, he will make a big profit. "
Zhou Qingfeng was very serious, his cold face showed that he was not joking, but was very serious about carrying out a plan. Xu Bing was also very serious, but there was anger on her face. She growled, "You bastard, why didn't you discuss this with me? Do you think I will be in the way? "
"So now that I have said it, do you agree or not?"
Xu Bing, with her experience as a criminal police officer, habitually stared at Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, and aggressively took a step forward to close the distance between them, until their chests were about to touch. People who were not strong-willed would often avoid her move, either lowering their heads or retreating.
But Zhou Qingfeng just coldly confronted her, and even said with a smile, "I think you are actually very similar to me. You have a conscience and a bottom line, but when you need to be ruthless, you will be ruthless and not be a good person. Maybe I should really thank you for not shooting me when you pretended to be a psychology teacher. "
Xu Bing stared at Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, and said word by word, "Next time you make such a big decision, remember to inform me. Two people can avoid a lot of blind spots in thinking. Don't forget, the two of us are on the same team. I won't hinder your hands and feet, I will help you do better. "
After that, Xu Bing turned around and left.
Zhou Qingfeng shouted behind her, "What do you want to do in this world?"
"I want to know what you want to do first."
"I want to change this world, so that my life is not in vain."
"I also want to change it."
Both of them smiled slightly, but there was an indescribable coldness in their eyes.
That night, Old Man Sun sent people to other parts of the city to release the source of infection. Because of the excellent effect of the publicity during the day, the whole of Fushun was obviously in an inexplicable panic, and all the gates of the streets were locked and closed. The real release of the infection required the human-faced monster, who could go through walls.
Zhou Qingfeng originally ordered to release the infection into the well water, but Xu Bing reminded him that in this cold weather, water could only be drunk after heating, but the typhoid bacillus was not resistant to heat.
Water transmission was very inefficient, so it was better to directly spread the infection through food, or even through droplets. Therefore, the black smoke that the human-faced monster transformed into carried the source of the infection and directly smeared it on the mouth and nose of the sleeping people in the dark.
The first to suffer was the culprit of this incident — the madam of 'Elegant Spring Brothel', Hua Niang. Zhou Qingfeng directly ordered to use the same method to punish this vicious woman.
After Hua Niang, Zhou Qingfeng's targets were the yamen runners in other parts of the city. The officials of Fushun were also frightened by the propaganda campaign during the day. Li Yongfang, the guerrilla commander of Fushun, immediately ordered for the city to be under martial law during the day. She prohibited people from moving around on the streets and even restricted the activities of the merchants.
But the official orders had to be carried out by the most inconspicuous yamen runners, otherwise everything would be empty talk. Most of the ancient law enforcers were not good people, and the main force of oppressing the people was them. These people were also the claws of the senior bureaucrats who exploited the bottom of society, so Zhou Qingfeng did not feel guilty for tricking them.
And as long as all the yamen runners fell ill, what was the use of just the bureaucrats like Li Yongfang? Zhou Qingfeng could guarantee that this Fushun guerrilla commander's orders would not go out of the yamen. And as long as these yamen runners fell ill, given their power, they would inevitably run amok, and no one would be able to suppress them. At that time, the plague would really break out.
In addition to the yamen runners who might obstruct his actions, Zhou Qingfeng also ordered Xu Bing to make a list of criminals in the city, including some ruffians who usually ran amok, profiteers, litigators, and unscrupulous literati. Among them was the famous traitor Fan Wencheng, but this guy was not in Fushun at the moment, but in Shenyang County School, and he could not be found.
Overnight, the human-faced demon penetrated the walls and entered the houses, constantly spreading the source of disease. Because these targets were all ordinary people with no cultivation, they had no ability to resist in front of Zhou Qingfeng's vicious and poisonous plan. At night, he stood on the third floor of the Lin family's inn and opened his Third Eye to observe the entire city of Fushun — purple, an extremely strong purple.
This meant that danger and opportunity coexisted, and a great danger and great opportunity were attacking Zhou Qingfeng.
"What are you looking at here?" Xu Bing, wrapped in a leather coat, stood beside Zhou Qingfeng. The cold night wind blew on her face, chilling her to the bone. In her eyes, the city was dark, with only a few lights illuminating it.
"I'm deducing my plan," Zhou Qingfeng said in a low voice. "Sooner or later, the bureaucrats in Fushun will realize that their claws and teeth have been cut off by me, and the big businessmen like Wang Kai will also understand that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them. Even Nurhachi, who is far away in Hetuala, will definitely be obtaining information about Fushun. I'm secretly dealing with others, and others will definitely be secretly dealing with me. "
Xu Bing gently grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's arm and said, "Today, your identity has been exposed. The best way to deal with you is to assassinate you."
