Huang Zhizhou looked at the fat woman's corpse with palpitations while wiping his hands, and after a glance, he quickly turned his head and asked the housekeeper: "Why did this person die here and no one cares, what about her family?"

"Back to the lord, we don't know where she is, she fell down in a sudden illness outside, passers-by carried her in and vomited and diarrhea, her crotch was full of, and then her body was full of dirt, she vomited and got all over her body, those kind passers-by sent her here, after everyone left, she was still lying here, because there were many people in the store at that time, busy taking care of the sick, she vomited a few times until something was wrong, and then went to see that she was dead. We sat in the hall to check and determined that she had inhaled vomit into the trachea and blocked the trachea, choking to death, because there were dead people in the store, the people who saw the doctor, and the people who bought medicine all ran away, and our lord was not feeling well and was about to close. ”

Hearing that this was the case, Huang Zhizhou sighed and said, "This woman is really pitiful, why don't you report the case?"

"I want to report it, but I don't care about it. ”

"Nonsense, the official sent a servant to call your lord before, why didn't you report it at that time?"

"It was only after a few officials and grandfathers left that the woman had choked to death, and when they came just now, there were still many people in the store. ”

Huang Zhizhou just hummed, walked inside, the two officials opened the way in front, and went straight to the bedroom of Qi Langzhong in the backyard, a guy had already run in to report first, so Mrs. Qi wiped her tears and greeted her at the door, Huang Zhizhou didn't look at her, just snorted heavily, hula the robe, expressed his strong dissatisfaction, and walked straight in,

The doors have been opened by the officials who rushed in first, Huang Zhizhou came straight to the bed, and smelled an unpleasant smell of feces and urine and the sour smell of vomiting filth, and couldn't help frowning, there is some filth in a copper basin next to the bed, but the pillows and quilts on the bed are also filthy, and a maid is still holding a new futon in her hand, presumably she has just vomited, and she came before she had time to change herself.

Seeing this scene, Huang Zhizhou Yue believed that this Qi Langzhong should be sick, otherwise it would not be like this, so he leaned down and said to Qi Langzhong: "How is your health? ”

Originally, he brought someone to theorize, and if he didn't do well, he took Qi Langzhong to the yamen to play the board, but now he sees Qi Langzhong's miserable image, his eyes are sunken, there is still filth on his mouth that has not been wiped off, and his clothes, pillows, and quilts are full of vomit, and his face is pale again, and it doesn't seem like he is drunk, not to mention that he didn't smell alcohol, so his previous judgment was problematic.

Since Qi Langzhong was an unintentional mistake caused by illness, Huang Zhizhou didn't have the same knowledge as him, since he came, of course he found an excuse to visit, so he said it in passing.

Mrs. Qi on the side was grateful, thinking that the governor of a state came to visit her husband in person, her husband's face was really big enough, and even Zhizhou came to ask in person, which shows how high her husband's worth is, and I am afraid that the business will be more prosperous in the future.

Think of these. The originally sad eyes showed a hint of relief again.

Qi Langzhong originally had his eyes closed, and when he heard the footsteps coming in, he felt powerless to open his eyes, until he heard a familiar voice, and then struggled to open his eyes and finally saw Huang Zhizhou standing in front of him, and recalled what he said just now, and was immediately moved, and remembered that he had a sudden illness before, and vomited directly on his wife, which was really abrupt, Zhizhou actually ignored the previous suspicions, and personally visited the door, this kind of affection really made Qi Langzhong grateful, his voice was choked, his eyes were moist, and the two lines of old tears couldn't help but roll down.

Although Huang Zhizhou was still unhappy, he said with a smile on his face: "You are very sick, I won't tell you more, this official will go back after seeing it, I have already found you Langzhong, I know that your medical skills are very good, known as a miracle doctor, but since you are sick, then you don't have to work hard to prescribe medicine by yourself, listen to other Langzhong, let them prescribe it for you, it should be cured soon." ”

Qi Langzhong nodded effortlessly, his chapped lips squirmed and said, "Thank you, thank you, big man." ”

As soon as he said this, he heard a crackling sound coming from the bed, followed by a stench of moisture.

Huang Zhizhou didn't think about it for a while and didn't understand what was going on, but he remembered what Mrs. Maiden said before, this Qi Langzhong was incontinent in the lobby and sprayed a leg and a floor, and then he understood that he was pulling in the quilt, so he quickly raised his head and took two steps back in a panic, looking very embarrassed, and said: "The official still has important things to do, so I won't stay much, you can rest for a long time." ”

Then he turned around and was about to go out, when he suddenly heard Qi Langzhong on the sickbed struggling and shouting: "Master, please stay, the grass people have something to say." ”

Huang Zhizhou waved his hand, thinking to himself what is the matter with you, Lao Tzu will not stay here anymore, it is smelly and dirty, who knows what kind of illness you are.

He didn't even say a word, waved his hand and walked out, and suddenly heard Qi Langzhong's voice behind him, this sentence made Huang Zhizhou immediately stop, and looked back at the people on the sickbed, because what Qi Langzhong said was "There is a plague in the city!"

Huang Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, of course he knew what the plague represented, that is, corpses were everywhere, he hurriedly came to the bed a few steps, and he didn't care about the stench wafting from the bed, and said urgently: "What did you say?

"Cholera, it's cholera!" Qi Langzhong said with a certain amount of helplessness, I didn't believe it until I fell ill, but now I can't help but believe it, because there is no disease that can vomit and diarrhea, and kill people in a day or two, and I now feel that I can't do it, I'm afraid I won't live until tomorrow morning, and I feel that I have this disease, and I contracted it when I went to the river to treat the son of the boat boss, and his son had cholera that vomited and diarrhea, but I didn't dare to confirm it at the time, but now that I think about it, it should be, but I was too careless at the time. ”

Huang Zhizhou was a little at a loss and said, "Cholera, plague, what's going on?"

Huang Zhizhou knew that plague was a virulent infectious disease that spread widely and could kill many people in a short period of time, and he had also heard of cholera, but he did not know that cholera was a plague or a type of plague.

The word cholera has long appeared, and Zhang Zhongjing's theory of typhoid fever clearly defines the main symptom of this disease as vomiting and diarrhea, and named it "cholera". Cholera in later infectious diseases comes from the word Chinese medicine. Although he has never eaten pork, he has also seen pigs run, although Huang Zhizhou has not experienced the plague, but of course he knows what the plague is.

As the lord of one party, if there is a large-scale plague in the jurisdiction, once the prevention and control is not effective, the black yarn hat will be gone, this is still a trivial matter, and if he is infected with the disease, he will lose his life, so he began to tremble all over, and quickly asked: "What the hell is going on? You scared the official." ”

Qi Langzhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, smiled bitterly and said: "The scary is still to come, if the adults don't take measures in time, I believe that Yinzhou will become a ghost town." ”

Huang Zhizhou was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly said, "Please Lang Zhong teach me how to deal with it, this official is grateful." ”

Qi Langzhong nodded and said: "Now this disease has just been sick, and it is still too late to prevent and treat it, you quickly send someone to the Qiaotou Wharf to lock up the boss of the boat and his family, and burn the body of his son, and then do the same, no one in the family will let him out, and the body of the fat woman who died outside will also be burned." Then they sent men to search the whole city, and all those who vomited violently were to be locked up in a courtyard, and not to be allowed to come into contact with anyone, and to be kept under strict guard. All the bodies of those who died inside must be burned, and those who go to drag the corpses must cover them from head to toe with their clothes in order to touch the dead bodies, remember, and quickly. I'm worried that this disease has spread, and once it spreads, it will no longer be able to control it, and this time the cholera plague is extremely ferocious, much more powerful than all the records I have read in medical books, so adults must do it as soon as possible, this is related to the whole city......"

Huang Zhizhou's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and he thanked him again and again, and then staggered around in Qi Langzhong's urging voice, and fled to the door.

He immediately beckoned everyone, and no one from Qi Langzhong's family was allowed to come out, and then immediately notified the official and the arrester to go to the bow of the boat to arrest the dead boat boss and his family, and lock him up in an empty courtyard in the yamen, and then he immediately returned to the yamen in a sedan chair, and only after returning to the yamen did he remember that Qi Langzhong said just now that he wanted to burn the corpse, and quickly ordered to transport the fat woman in Qi Langzhong's pharmacy and the body of the boat boss's son to the dock and burn it, and the person who dragged the corpse had to wrap his whole body in a cloth.

After the arrangements were made, he calmed down a little, and remembered that Qi Langzhong had explained that he was going to search the whole city immediately, so he quickly asked people to make arrangements, so that all the officials and names were divided into several groups, and went to various pharmacies and herbal medicine stalls, and Jianghu Langzhong to inquire, and ordered these people to tell these people that once they encountered a patient with severe vomiting and diarrhea, they should immediately report to the government and control the person, and at the same time search the streets to see if there are any symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.

Soon the news reached Huang Zhizhou's ears, the two bodies had been burned in the firewood pile on the dock, the boat boss and his youngest son were sick together, they were also vomiting and diarrhea, and the was directly pulled into the crotch of his pants, so he had brought people back and locked them in the courtyard of the yamen.

The prefect ordered the prefect to report to the government as soon as a patient with vomiting and diarrhea was to find out if such a patient had been treated.

As a result, a herbalist who often set up a stall at the wharf to practice medicine said that a few of the kiln sisters at the wharf and a few ruffians in charge of the wharf came to him to see a doctor, and they also vomited and diarrhea and prescribed medicine not long ago, so these officials rushed to the alley where the wharf kiln sisters often do business, and found the few ruffians who controlled these kiln sisters, and now these people vomited and diarrhea like Qi Langzhong, and the house was full of the smell of feces and urine, so the officials covered their heads and feet, and carried them to the courtyard of the yamen and locked them up.
