Chen Jue shook his head lightly, looked at the crowd and said:

"Don't worry, just stay here for one night."

In the blink of an eye, Xun Yu understood Chen Jue's deep meaning.

Although Chen Jue had given a prescription, it was unknown who poisoned it, let alone his purpose.

It's better to hide it for the time being to see the aftereffect.

If the number of patients in the village still increases, it means that the person is still in the village and continues to poison the villagers.

There is always a way to get it out.

If there is no follow-up to this matter, they can only do so for the time being.

So Xun Yu cupped his hands and replied:

"Then I will stay here with the village master for one night."

Xun Yu's reaction was really quick, Chen Jue said softly:

"Lingjun, wait a moment to distribute the medicine. It won't be too late to detoxify after the black hand behind the scenes appears."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jue looked over there again, and said in a deep voice:

"Laurie has also rectified this matter, and you must not startle the snake by making mistakes."

Li Zheng had already been convinced, and now he nodded in agreement.

They can underestimate a fairy like Chen Jue, they might as well obey orders honestly.

In addition, Xun Yu also consciously arranged for the soldiers to patrol the four directions and take down all the abnormal people.

Now that the situation in the village is so bad, if you dare to wander around as if nothing happened, then you are probably not a good person.

In this way, Chen Jue and his party stayed in the village.

In the blink of an eye.

It was a peaceful night, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

But Li Zheng soon came to report that there were a few more infected people today, and it was unknown where they came from.

Chen Jue and others were all together, Xun Yu frowned and said:

"It seems that this matter is indeed not simple. Some villagers have been poisoned. We need to find out the root cause."

Chen Jue nodded and replied:

"Actually, this kind of strange poison may not have been administered in person, but it may also be spread through other channels."

Xun Yu thought about what Chen Jue said, then his eyebrows twitched and he said:

"The owner of the village is referring to the well in the village?"

Chen Jue nodded in disbelief.

If you want to find the common ground of the villagers, this well is indeed very suspicious, and it may be the breakthrough point of this matter.

Now that he had guessed, Xun Yu didn't want to waste time, and immediately asked someone to fetch water, ready to show Chen Jue.

Xun Yu's subordinates were extremely efficient, and soon returned with a pot of water, which was the only well in the village.

Chen Jue was also unambiguous, and directly poked it with his hand, smelling the smell of well water, and already had a rough guess in his heart.

After all, he has been with Chen Jue many times, and Xun Yu knows Chen Jue well. Seeing his reaction, he quickly asked:

"According to the village master's opinion, what's wrong with this?"

Chen Jue looked at the well water and said loudly:

"The problem is indeed in the well water. Someone put medicine in the well, and as long as the villagers drink the water, they will be poisoned."

However, after hearing this, Xun Yu was puzzled again, and said:

"But there is only this well in the village..."

Chen Jue just smiled and said:

"What you don't know is that this strange poison is different from others. It doesn't show up when taken in a small amount, and it only needs to be accumulated to a certain extent."

Only then did Xun Yu understand, and he said with a startled expression:

"It is impossible for the common people not to drink water. As long as they drink water, they will be poisoned. No wonder the number of people infected with this poison is increasing day by day."

Inexplicably, Xun Yu was secretly startled by the poisoner.

If Chen Jue hadn't given the answer, I'm afraid he would never have imagined that things would develop according to this track.

After hesitating for a moment, Xun Yu hesitated and asked:

"From the perspective of the village master, what do the people behind the scenes want to do?"

Chen Jue shook his head, he was also very puzzled.

These are just ordinary villagers, so what's the use of poisoning them, and deliberately doing it in such a big way.

Was it a premeditated poisoning?

Since there was no definite answer, Chen Jue didn't answer Guo Jia's question, but just waved his hands indifferently.

Although Xun Yu was disappointed, he could only accept it with a nod.

After all, Chen Jue didn't have the ability to predict the future.

But Chen Jue went on to say:

"However, this poison has another characteristic. It won't last a few days in the well. If the people behind the scenes are serious, they will definitely come to poison it. This may be our chance to find its trace."

Xun Yu was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile:

"Why didn't the village master say earlier that this time the thief must be punished."

Between the words, it was obvious that Xun Yu was indignant, and he was really annoyed in his heart, after all, this matter had troubled him for a long time.

If it weren't for the sudden whim to find Chen Jue, I'm afraid my hair would be graying now, and I don't know how to solve it safely.

In ancient times, the response to the plague was much more straightforward than the aftermath.
