Pei Jian is an experienced old official, and his thoughts naturally go a step further than Zhuo Qingfeng. In early spring, just as the first month was coming to an end, an "epidemic" broke out in Dongshan, shortly after the incident involving Marquis Lingyang.
This major epidemic occurred under his governance, and if handled improperly and the court investigated, he, the parent official, would definitely suffer.
However, this "epidemic" has always been considered a natural disaster, not something humans can control, so Pei Jian didn't think much of it, just considering himself unlucky.
But, yet, he was also aware of some insider information about the "horse plague" encountered by the Su Family's Horse Field.
The Su Family suspects that the horse plague at their horse field wasn't a "natural disaster" but man-made, and they've even discovered some circumstances.
But there might not be a final result.
