When the group entered Suiyang City, it was already dark, and Xu Xianling and Vice General Wang had to enter Suiyang City together because they had to obey Yu Chimu's relationship, although they were unwilling at the bottom of their hearts.

Who wants to risk their lives to do something thankless? In the past month, they have seen too many people get sick, but they have no clue at all, and the doctors of the people cannot find out what kind of disease those people are infecting, and more and more people are getting sick, and the people are becoming more and more angry, and now entering the city is no different from committing suicide.

"Dog officer! useless dog officer!"

"Help us...... Somebody's going to save us......"

"I'm not sick, let me out, let me go out—"

A large number of people gathered at the city gate, and before the city gate was opened, Wei Chimu and Chi Xiaoman could hear the shouts and angry scolding and terrible pleading voices of the people in the city.

"What's going on inside, tell me clearly!" Wei Chimu's horse stopped in front of the city gate and looked at Xu Xianling and Wang Tong with a displeased expression.

The two of them glanced at each other, Xu Xianling lowered his head, Wang Tong was helpless, and could only tremble and say: "Five days ago, after the epidemic here in the imperial court, the isolation and evacuation of the people began in the city, the population of Suiyang City was originally 5,000, but now there are only more than 1,000 people left, most of them are infected and their families, and a few are so poor that they can't leave the city to live. Two days ago, due to the rapid expansion of the epidemic, in order not to affect the surrounding counties, the city gate was closed, and the people in Suiyang City were not allowed to leave the city, and the number of infected people in the city was initially estimated...... It has risen to five hundred, which means that half of the people in the city are sick. ”

Chi Xiaoman didn't expect that the situation would be much stricter than what he had just heard, and the government's decision would arouse the anger of the people in the city. Close the gates. The people were not allowed to enter or leave, which undoubtedly left the people in the city to fend for themselves!

"You two haven't been in the city since two days ago, have you?" saw that the two of them bowed their heads in shame because of her words. Chi Xiaoman sneered: "So how should you know about the epidemic, and how can you control the epidemic?"

"Back to ...... The princess, the lower officials and the king still come here every day. Listening to the soldiers guarding the gate to report the epidemic, the doctors and messengers in the city will regularly deliver news out of the city. Xu Zhixian argued.

Although he hadn't heard that King Huai'an had married, the woman in front of him was the princess recognized by King Huai'an after all, and he heard that she came with King Huai'an this time with the emperor's permission, so it can be seen that even if she is not a princess now, sooner or later she will be, so he had to answer her question, but this woman spoke sharply. Another look of insight really made him panic.

"Ridiculous!" Wei Chimu said angrily: "Xu Zhixian, as a local parent official, you have such a vain regard for the lives of the people in the city, can the officials, soldiers, and doctors in the city be in charge? If they can be in charge, what is the use of asking you, the magistrate of the county! You might as well let them be the magistrates!"

"The king, the prince, the lower officials know the mistakes, the lower officials know the mistakes. When Xu Zhixian heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down, he was in his fifties, and he finally became a magistrate. Although I can't say that I have made any achievements in Suiyang County in the past two years, at least there is no fault, if he is dismissed because of this incident, then the rest of his life will be over!

"Muh. Now is the time to employ people, no matter what, he is the magistrate here, if he is dismissed at this time. We may have a hard time deploying the people under him, and we have too little information. He may also be needed. Although Chi Xiaoman looks down on this Xu Zhixian very much, he is after all a person who has had first-hand information from the beginning of the epidemic.

"The king will spare you for the time being. Order to open the city gate!" Wei Chi Mu said with cold eyes at Xu Xianling.

"No, my lord, the people inside will rush out, we can't be sure who is not infected, if they are all allowed to leave the city, the epidemic will spread!" Wang Tong said anxiously. The soldier guarding the door obeyed him, but he could not risk giving the order to open the door.

Wei Chimu said: "Find a way to evacuate the people blocked in front of the city gate first, don't hurt people." Tell the people not to panic and go out of the city, and if there is no disease after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, the king will not stop them. ”

"Yes. The emperor asked the king of Huai'an to bring the imperial doctor to come, and he will be able to heal everyone, and ask the people not to block the gate of the city, so that the prince and the imperial doctor can enter.

Soon, as expected, they received news from the city, and the people still had some hope for the imperial doctor to come, and under the command of the officials and soldiers in the city, they made way of the road in front of the city gate.

Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman led the imperial physician and his entourage into Suiyang City.

The situation in the city is worse than expected, the streets are messy and filthy, and the people who are still healthy just want to escape, and have no intention of cleaning them.

No matter what the disease, a hygienic environment can better control the epidemic, this is common sense, Chi Xiaoman whispered a few words to Wei Chimu, and saw that Wei Chimu nodded, and ordered Xu County Ling and Wang Tong to order some people to clean the streets in the city, and then ask the doctors who treated the sick to come over, and tell the doctors who knew about this disease to the doctors to discuss the solution together.

Another part of the officers and soldiers gathered the people together and asked the doctors and doctors to examine them. Wei Chimu and Chi Xiaoman, led by a doctor and several soldiers, personally went to the quarantine area to visit the medical conditions.

In fact, the quarantine area is just an old mansion, which has opened up several rooms and concentrated all the sick patients here.

"Lord and princess, the environment inside is quite bad, and this disease is easily contagious, so it is better not to go in for the princess and princess. The doctor said.

"How do you heal them on a daily basis?" his statement made Wei Chi Mu frown.

"I and a couple of doctors would wear this. The doctor took out a cloth towel, which smelled of wine, and had two straps on either side.

Chi Xiaoman understood at a glance that it was used as a mask, and it had been disinfected with wine. However, the disinfection effect of alcohol is naturally not as good as that of alcohol...... Is there no alcohol in this day and age?

"Is there any high-purity wine here?" she remembered that alcohol with a concentration of 75 degrees had the best disinfection effect, and although ordinary wine had some effect, it could not achieve the real effect.

"You're going to ......"

"Sanitization. You've washed the cloth with wine, haven't you? But I'm afraid this strength of wine is not enough to disinfect it...... I don't know how to say it, but all infectious diseases should be because of bacteria, and when I say disinfection, it is actually sterilization. Bacteria widely live in soil, air and water, and there are many bacteria in the human body, but some bacteria have no bad effect on the human body, but some belong to the virus type, which will be transmitted by human contact, foaming at the mouth, and even between humans and animals...... "Chi Xiaoman simply said the concept of bacteria, and then said: "In short, all patients' eating utensils and clothes must be disinfected and sterilized. ”

"The princess also knows medical skills?" The doctor looked at Chi Xiaoman with a surprised expression, what she said was unheard of by him, but he felt quite reasonable, and his face was a little adoring and excited.

Chi Xiaoman said embarrassedly: "No, I don't understand medical skills, I only know some medical knowledge." Let me go in and see, maybe I'll find out what the disease is. ”

The doctor hurriedly asked people to fetch two cloth towels that had been cleaned with wine, and Chi Xiaoman and Yu Chimu put them on and entered with the doctor.

Shabby.

Chi Xiaoman looked at it, and there were only these two words in it. On the ground were wooden planks, and the patients were lying on them, one next to the other, and the bedding and other daily necessities looked dirty.

She walked forward, wanting to take a closer look at the condition of those patients, but was tightly held by Yu Chimu.

Wei Chimu's face was quite ugly, and that ugliness was not because of anger and anger, but because of disbelief and fear. He had never seen such a scene, the patients were moaning in pain, some of their necks were swollen, some of their skin was bleeding, some were coughing, and they had difficulty breathing, and the picture in front of him was like purgatory on earth.

"Mu ...... Let me see, I seem to know what these symptoms may be......" She broke free of Wei Chimu's hand and walked closer to the patients.

While researching modern Chinese history, she once read that in October 1910, there was a plague outbreak in northeastern China, and she looked up the number of plagues at that time.

She had no contact with the patients, but she could tell from the superficial signs. If she was not mistaken, the symptoms of these people should be plague.

"It's the plague, this is not okay, every patient must be isolated, and the patient and the patient's used equipment must not be directly touched with the skin!" Chi Xiaoman said as he ran back to Wei Chimu's side.

Her lips were trembling, and her body was trembling. This disease is very scary, with a short incubation period, a high mortality rate, a fast spread, and even more severe is that there is no such thing as a vaccine in this era, and she ...... She won't heal either!

"What kind of disease do you say? Is there a way to cure it?" Wei Chimu pressed her shoulder, he could feel her body trembling, it seemed that the condition of this disease was quite bad. He really wanted to take her into his arms and soothe her, but the situation was urgent, he only had half a month, although he had asked someone to send a letter to Master Fang Qi before leaving, hoping to get Master's help, but he was not sure that Master would be able to come in time, after all, Master did not often stay in the medical hall in the capital.

So now that Xiaoman knows, he must do his best to get the method of controlling the epidemic from Xiaoman.

Chi Xiaoman closed his eyes, quietly opened his eyes and said, "Let's go out and talk." "It made her dizzy with the wine-washed cloth towel, and she didn't want to wear it all the time. (To be continued......)
