Nd x'o R y Bo k f M K *|0 MX+ E U1vQ N[ vDٙ and Nanxi Hou Shizi's face changed, and he almost jumped.

"How can there be a plague?" Huang Shilang looked incredulous, wasn't it just that the torrential rain caused the river to burst its banks, and there was a flood, how could there still be a plague?

Southwest Hou Shizi thought of another thing, "Father, then, the two people who came to the mansion just now were from De'an?"

Nannan nodded.

"Then why do you dare to keep them in the mansion, quickly find someone to drive them out, don't infect us at that time......" Southwest Hou Shizi stomped his feet anxiously, but his voice became smaller and smaller in Southwest Hou's displeased gaze.

Nan Hou looked at Shizi with heavy eyes, and the disappointment in his eyes resurfaced again, "You only thought of this?"

Hou Shizi in the southwest looked stunned and didn't dare to answer.

This is a matter related to the life of their family, isn't this the most important thing now?

Nan Hou closed his eyes irritably, not wanting to be distracted to teach his son at this time.

"Shiro, if you find someone to spread the news as soon as possible, let's say that there is a plague among the victims of De'an County that Xinglintang used inferior medicinal herbs, and the sooner the news spreads, the better. "Southwest Hou instructed Huang Shilang.

Huang Shilang's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

As soon as such news came out, those victims alone would be able to eat Mu Jin raw.

"My son is going. Huang Shilang saluted and walked away, he could already foresee that after this time, Heshuntang was still a leader in the pharmaceutical industry in Chengdu Prefecture, and soon countless money would go into his pocket.

As soon as Huang Shilang left, only Southwest Hou and Shizi were left in the study.

Nan Nanhou thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Boss, you go do something......."

He whispered to the Southwest Hou Shizi, and when the Southwest Hou Shizi listened, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back, "Father, but, Kede'an is now the place where the plague occurred." ”

Nan Nan Hou glared at him, "Look at your little bit of talent, how brave did you have to follow Lao Tzu into battle to kill the enemy?"

Southwest Hou Shizi pursed his lips, wasn't that because he was young and ignorant at that time? At that time, he didn't know that there was so much and such extreme enjoyment in life.

Now he is not stupid, why did he run to the disaster area and risk his life?

"Otherwise, let the fourth child do it. Southwest Hou Shizi twitched for a moment, and shirked hesitantly.

Southwest Hou kicked him angrily, and said gloomily: "You want the fourth child to be the son of the world?"

Southwest Hou Shizi immediately shut up.

He's not a fool, let the son of the world be done by the fourth child?

But if you go to the disaster area, think about the floods and the plague, and the southwest Hou Shizi hesitated again.

Whether life is important or power and wealth are important, this is a difficult question to decide.

"Now is the best time, you have always been rich and dangerous, if you don't even have this bit of courage, the old man's position in the southwest, you should not take it as soon as possible. Nannan Hou glared at the hesitant Nannan Hou Shizi and said in a low voice.

Southwest Hou Shizi's expression was grim, and he gritted his teeth, "Father, I'll go!"

The southwest Hou curled the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, "I still have two points of courage, remember, this is a good time, do it well, not only can make meritorious contributions, but also unify the military power of the southwest in one fell swoop, when the time comes, if the Praetorian Guard and the Southwest Army are in our Huang family, no one in our Huang family will have to be afraid." ”

Southwest Hou Shizi nodded, Southwest Hou's expression softened by two points, and told him: "Remember, do what I say, take out the courage and courage you used to go into battle to kill the enemy, and seize this opportunity, our Huang family can take a step forward." ”

Southwest Hou Shizi, who had an extremely complicated mood, left the study with heavy steps, leaving Southwest Hou alone in the study, with an obscure expression.

I hope that the eldest son will not let him down this time, his identity is inconvenient to go out, so he can only let the son come forward, if it is replaced by someone else, he is afraid that the son will not be able to control it in the future......

After all, there is still him in command and sitting in the back! Southwest waited for a while, got up and left the Hou Mansion, and went to the prefect's yamen to see the Han prefect's mansion.

"Master Hou said that he wanted to seal the city gate?" After hearing the intention of the southwest Hou, Governor Han stood up in surprise.

Nan Nanhou nodded, "There has been a large-scale plague on the De'an side, and now many victims are retreating to Chengdu Mansion, we can't let those victims enter the city, otherwise the people of Chengdu Mansion will be in danger!"

Governor Han's expression changed, "There is a plague in De'an, where did the news come from, why hasn't the official received any news?"

Nan Hou pursed his lips, "Ben Hou has the exact news that two clan nephews just brought from De'an. ”

Governor Han's face suddenly looked bad, the plague was a big deal, and the southwest would not lie to him.

"But the closure of the city gate is a big deal, how should so many victims be resettled? This official can't make decisions on his own, so let's ask Song Yanei for instructions. Governor Han hesitated for a moment, but still did not agree to the decision of the southwest to seal the city gate.

Once the city gate is sealed, the victims outside the city will not be able to enter the city, which will inevitably cause public indignation, and the Han prefect does not dare to make a rash decision.

Nannan Hou was not angry, "It should be so, Governor Han wrote a letter as soon as possible and found someone to bring it to Song Yanei." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the prefect's yamen, but the corners of his mouth floated a touch of ridicule.

I want to wait for Song Yanzhao's reply, and I want to see if the people of Chengdu Mansion will agree.

The prefect of Han immediately wrote a letter explaining the situation, preparing to find someone to send to De'an, but before the letter was delivered, the gate of the prefect's yamen was surrounded by the people of Chengdu Mansion.

"I heard that many of the victims of the disaster have contracted the plague, my lord, why do you want to let the victims into the city?"

"Please close the gates of the city and do not let the plague be brought out of the city. ”

"Please think about the lives of tens of thousands of people in Chengdu!"

"Please order the gates to be closed!"

"Please close the gates!"

"Close the gates!"

The entire street was filled with angry people, shouting one after another, demanding that the Han Governor order the city gate to be closed as soon as possible.

The gate of the prefect's yamen was almost squeezed through, and the messenger could not even get out.

Han Zhifu's throat was almost broken, but no one listened to his words.

At this time, Nan Nanhou stood up, "Governor Han, if you don't close the city gate again, I'm afraid that it will cause public anger, and it's not good to have a riot." ”

The excerpt of the Yizhou Road flood has not yet reached the capital, and there will be another riot......

The Han on the forehead of the Han Governor suddenly dripped down.

Although Ben Hou is suspected of overstepping his authority by doing this, at this time, Ben Hou has to think about the lives of tens of thousands of people in Chengdu Prefecture. Nannan Hou glanced at the Han Governor's Mansion and announced loudly: "Immediately close the four city gates in the east, west, north and south!"

As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused the people to cheer, and Han Zhifu sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and finally fell silent.

And those victims who finally arrived in Chengdu Mansion after trekking for several days and dragging their tired wounds suddenly collapsed when they learned that the city gate had been closed and they were not allowed to enter the city!
