The next day, Jiang Shuying was about to go out, but Lin Yunqing stopped her from being allowed to live or die, and after a while, news came that someone died in a temporary gathering place for disaster victims in the southeastern suburbs of Lingnan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

By the time Jiang Shuying and his party arrived, a group of victims with weapons had gathered there, and the houses in the gathering place were damaged, and it seemed that there should have been a big riot.

Lin Yunqing looked at the victims who were glaring angrily at the officers and soldiers, and could jump up at any time to uncover the uprising, and asked Jiang Taishou, who was busy and anxious, "What happened?"

Jiang Taishou said briefly: "Ten days ago, it was found that there were victims with high fever and fever that did not go away, and the lower officials took the medical officer to come to diagnose and treat it, and at first thought it was a simple cold and flu. Gradually, more and more people have high fevers that do not go away. ”

There was a gray drizzle in the sky, Jiang Taishou wiped his eyes that were covered by the rain, and continued: "There is also a plague after the flood, which has a precedent in Lingnan, so Xia Guan asked the medical officer to pay attention to the patient's condition. After three days, the number of sick people changed from one to ten, and the medical officer came to report that it was the plague, and the lower officials isolated the patient. ”

Lin Yunqing was convinced by Jiang Taishou's approach, "Then why did it evolve like this?"

Jiang Taishou sighed, "According to the tradition of Lingnan, whenever someone in the family dies, no matter where he is, he must go home for burial, and the body must stay for seven days before the burial, and the first seven days can only be buried." But now this situation is not to mention burial, even if you stay for a moment. He paused, wrinkled his eyebrows, and said: "The lower official ordered the cremation of the dead patients, and before that, it had been negotiated with the relatives of the deceased to be emotional, but the cremation was blocked. ”

Jiang Shuying silently listened to Jiang Taishou's explanation of the matter, and his eyes did not look at the trace to observe whether there were any suspicious people among the victims.

When the family members of the deceased who took the lead in making trouble saw Jiang Taishou coming, they shouted: "Jiang Lao thief is an official who is unkind and makes the deceased unable to live in peace, and he also boasts that he is the parent official of the Lingnan people, if you really regard us as your children, let us who really love our parents, brothers and sisters according to Lingnan customs, bury them in peace!"

As soon as the leader shouted, someone followed in an organized and disciplined manner.

Jiang Shuying pushed away Lin Yunqing's hand to block her, stepped forward and said indifferently: "This little brother, what is your name?"

The leader snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Little lady, it's none of your business, you go away." ”

Judging from the demeanor and tone of the person in charge, although he is the one who takes the lead in making trouble, his eyes are calm, and he is not a great traitor, perhaps he is bewitched by others.

Lin Yunqing came with a mission, and only "took the initiative to ask for help." "Who else doesn't want him to complete the task smoothly, who else can there be besides the Lin brothers.

Jiang Shuying smiled, picked up the conversation and said, "Little brother, do you have any relatives infected with the plague?"

The person who took the lead pulled out a sneer, "Here live the people of our entire town, all of whom are my fathers and fellow villagers, do you think they are relatives?"

Jiang Shuying thought about it, the love of neighbors and villagers has disappeared in the era of science and technology, although there are stories that have been handed down from ancient times that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but those have become legends. In her opinion, apart from blood relations and close friends, living on the same floor separated by only one wall is not considered a relative.

"Of course not. Jiang Shuying said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, the victims who were about to move suddenly turned into a pot of porridge, and countless foul words converged into a monstrous flood towards the river.

Lin Yunqing saw that the situation was not right, and immediately stood up and defended: "Oh, don't misunderstand, my wife means that she is not a relative of the patient..."

Although this explanation is far-fetched, Jiang Shuying saw Lin Yunqing's progress.

Jiang Shuying looked at Lin Yunqing's straight back and couldn't help but sigh. The cowardly young man who was afraid to hide behind Lin Yunxia and Concubine Wei, who were pretending to be kind to him, has grown up, and can help explain himself in front of the victims without fear.

"I know you! You are the second son of Yunnan Palace!"

Just as Lin Yunqing was dryly explaining to Jiang Shuying, a voice suddenly came out. "Could it be that in the eyes of the prince, the lives of civilians such as me are worthless!"

Lin Yunqing was stunned, where is this. Fortunately, he was still shrewd, and immediately reassured: "There is absolutely no such intention! Anyone's life is supreme and noble." ”

Jiang Shuying listened to Lin Yunqing's dry explanation, this kind of high-sounding words that anyone can say, there is no convincing force at all.

Sure enough, the person who had just spoken out asked reluctantly: "Since Gongzi said that anyone's life is supreme and noble, then why don't we let our relatives be buried in the earth according to custom!"

After a circle, Jiang Shuying walked and stood quietly beside Lin Yunqing.

Lin Yunqing felt that there was someone beside him, tilted his head and glanced at Jiang Shuying, who seemed to be cheering him on, took a deep breath and faced the victims who frequently posted articles, and said righteously: "Everyone, don't be impatient, your relatives are dying..."

The word plague cannot be mentioned, otherwise it will cause panic and even riots.

Jiang Taishou had already isolated these people before, and some people vaguely sensed that the cause of death was the plague, and if someone had the intention to spread it, it might cause irreparable disaster.

"Your relatives died of high fever, and now many places in Lingnan have been hit by flash floods and mountain rocks have been destroyed. Lin Yunqing said solemnly: "The rainy season in June is coming, if you bury the bones of your relatives at this time, do you think that when the rainy season comes, it will cause flash floods, wouldn't it be more disrespectful to the deceased, and you can't let them be buried in the ground?"

People born and raised in Nanling have an understanding of the rainy season, and Lin Yunqing's words hit the nail on the head, and correspondingly, the people who confronted the officers and soldiers were obviously much more stable.

With a good start, Lin Yunqing's confidence doubled, "So I suggest that you cremate the bones of your relatives, use porcelain jars to pack the bones of your relatives, and after the rainy season, I will ask Master Kongzhu of Lingyin Temple to be overdue." ”

Master Kongzhu is a highly respected monk, and all the people who can transcend him are sages.

After receiving Lin Yunqing's promise, the family of the deceased immediately settled down, and I don't know who knelt down first, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the great kindness of the second son!"

The kneeling man seemed to be a respected elder, and his kneeling had the effect of a hundred calls, and the families of the deceased knelt down to thank him.

For the first time since he was a child, so many people knelt in front of him to thank him, Lin Yunqing was suddenly a little overwhelmed, for the first time in so many years, he felt the feeling of being respected, and his eyes turned red unconsciously. He hurriedly bowed and saluted, choked up, "Everyone, please get up, please get up." ”

It feels really good to be respected.
