Chapter 929: Chapter 932 A Good-for-nothing!
"Lord Qin already said it was handed over to the national treasury, don’t you understand?"
"And you still have the nerve to call yourself the Disaster Relief Imperial Envoy? If Heaven had eyes, it should let people like you taste what it’s like to be plagued often!"
Jia Wenjing said irritably, "You insult an Imperial Officer, do you all want to go to the big prison?"
"Lord Jia, if you don’t want to catch the plague, you shouldn’t open your mouth so wide when you speak," Qin Longyun kindly reminded.
It would be a pity for Jia Wenjing to come to the quarantine zone and catch the plague on such a rare visit.
Jia Wenjing asked nervously, "What... what do you mean?"
"You haven’t taken the plague prevention medicine, this is a quarantine zone, and nearly half of the people inside are plague patients. With your mouth open so wide, you might have swallowed something dirty and are very likely to get infected," Qin Longyun said solemnly.
Jia Wenjing, frightened, dared not speak anymore and even hid behind Li Zhengtian.
"Oh my, such a high official who is so afraid of death, why would he even come for disaster relief?"
"Because there’s silver to be made, I certainly don’t believe the Magistrate would just let them bring four carts of stuff here without some of it going into their own pockets."
"After all is said and done, we’re the ones who are the most pitiful." no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
"I hope the next one to be carried out from here is them."
The people began to curse Li Zhengtian and Jia Wenjing; under normal circumstances, they certainly wouldn’t dare to be so reckless.
But now they knew that it was because of these two men that they didn’t have enough lifesaving medicine, so they lost their composure.
If they were going to die, then they might as well die with meaning!
Looking at the people, Qin Longyun said, "Lord Li, you really should reflect on this."
"I’m giving you one day. If you don’t bring out the silver, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Li Zhengtian dropped these harsh words.
As for these bumpkins, he would definitely keep a good account of this matter.
After Li Zhengtian left in a huff, Qin Longyun couldn’t help but rub his temples.
What he regretted most now was reporting the plague situation to Mansion City initially. If not, he could have focused solely on resolving the outbreak.
The guard said worriedly, "My lord, I think Li Zhengtian will come up with other sinister plots."
"We don’t have time to deal with him right now. The medicinal materials will arrive in White Stone County tonight; you take some men to meet them and be very careful," Qin Longyun ordered.
The guard saluted, "Yes."
These guards were brought over by his wife as part of her dowry, their loyalty and ability to get the job done were beyond doubt. After giving instructions, Qin Longyun went to attend to other matters.
In fact, the silver was hidden elsewhere and Li Zhengtian wouldn’t be able to find it.
Of course, this batch of silver was to be used to purchase the medicinal herbs.
Getting on the carriage, Li Zhengtian, in his anger, swept the tea set on the small table to the floor.
"Damn Qin Longyun, he has made up his mind to oppose me!"
What if others found out that the epidemic in White Stone Town was already under control and he didn’t get any Treasury Silver? How would he explain himself to Prince Liang?
If he botched this, it wouldn’t just be his misfortune, but also Li Mo’er’s.
Jia Wenjing said softly, "My lord, you rank much higher than Qin Longyun and Tan Zhenghong; are you still afraid you can’t deal with them?"
There certainly was a way; he just hadn’t thought of it yet.
"Useless talk. What use do I have for a waste like you? You’re just like a rice bucket!" Li Zhengtian pointed at Jia Wenjing’s nose and cursed.
Now all he wanted was for someone to tell him what to do, he didn’t want to hear any other nonsense.
Jia Wenjing quickly knelt down, not even daring to take a deep breath.
