Because of the flooding of the Huai River, many places in Suzhou were flooded. The www.biquge.info has made many displaced victims gather outside Huaiyuan County, which is across the river from Suzhou.

In order to prevent these victims from entering the city and disturbing the people in the city, Lord Yuan, the magistrate of the county, came to discuss with Lu Chengyao, the third master of the Lu Mansion, and set up a porridge shed outside the city to give porridge to reassure the people.

But this porridge shack has only been open for half a day, and some victims suddenly fainted because of eating porridge. Many people thought that there was something wrong with the porridge in Lufu, and even the doctor in Jishantang mistakenly thought that someone had done something in the porridge.

Lord Yuan had to follow the law and invite Lu Chengyao into the county hall. Just when he was undecided, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd who only listened to the outside of the county government.

"Among those who are sick, there are few who hate cold and heat, but there are many who are hot and cold, and they have headaches and convulsions. If you only look at the appearance, it looks like poisoning, but it may also be caused by the epidemic!"

"Lu Sanye has always been benevolent, and everyone knows it in Huaiyuan County!"

"Lord Yuan might as well send more doctors to check, don't listen to the words of the doctors of Jishan Hall, and tarnish the reputation of Lu Sanye's benevolence and ruin the reputation of the Lu Mansion!"

This voice was very unfamiliar to Lord Yuan, but Lu Chengyao immediately heard that the person who came was the slave next to his daughter, Lu Feng, the son of Lu Steward.

Seeing that Lu Feng said that the head was the way, and even the symptoms of the patient were expressed so clearly, he knew that all this must have been entrusted by Lu Feng by his daughter, so he came to the county government to complain for him.

You must know that if this matter is not handled properly, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Feng's words were taught by the eldest lady. When something happened outside the city, someone naturally reported the matter to the inner courtyard as soon as possible.

Mrs. Lu San was so anxious that she almost fainted. However, Lu Ruxue felt that this incident came too suddenly and coincidentally.

And she believes that this is by no means the Lu government's doing. So he changed his clothes and ordered Lu Feng to catch the car and go straight to the outside of the city to check it out in person.

This was the most critical time to order Lu Feng to explain the symptoms of the patients one by one, because she had determined that the illness of these people was due to the plague, not some poisoning.

There was an accident in the Lu Mansion, and Lu Sanye was invited to the county office, and Mu Xuanyang soon got the news. He also brought people to the county government as soon as possible, planning to save people at a critical moment.

Although he did not have a deep relationship with the people in the Lu Mansion, he also believed that with Mr. Lu's personality and the reputation of the Lu Mansion, he would definitely not do such a thing.

It's just that before his people could make a move, Lu Feng's words already showed everything. Mu Xuanyang glanced at Lu Feng, who was hiding in the crowd, and then ordered the scabbard to secretly follow Yuan Zhixian out of the city to investigate.

He had already recognized Lu Feng, who was the coachman of Miss Lu Fu. It is impossible for a subordinate to understand medical skills, it seems that this eldest lady of the Lu Mansion not only has a special temperament, but is even proficient in medical science.

Lord Yuan was also taken aback by this sound, if those patients outside the city were not poisoned, but plague, then the entire Huaiyuan County would become a dangerous city, and might even become a dead city.

Lord Yuan hugged his fist at Lu Sanye, "Yuan is unknown, and he has to be cheeky, please ask Lu Sanye to sit in the yazhong for a while, and Yuan will take someone out of the city to check!"

"Lord Yuan just goes, Lu is worthy of the sky, and he is not afraid of the ground. I believe that Lord Yuan will definitely return Lu Mansion to a clean slate!"

There are many people outside the yaya who have received the favor of the Lu Mansion, so they also help to say good things.

However, in Lord Yuan's heart, he thought that all this was deliberately alarmist and secretly helping the Lu Mansion. But the stakes are so high that he doesn't dare to be indifferent.

I had to order someone to serve tea to Lu Sanye first, and then I went to the three largest pharmacies in the city, and invited three doctors in a row to go out of the city to check on the patients together.

Lu Feng saw that the third master was fine, so he ran back to the house to deliver a letter to the eldest lady.

Fortunately, after Lu Ruxue learned the news, she disguised herself as soon as possible and went out of the city to check the condition of these victims, so she used Lu Feng's mouth to clear her father's suspicion.

After seeing it, the three doctors all decided that these sick and fainted people were not poisoned. Rather, he got the "Black Death".

This sentence is like a death sentence for this magistrate Yuan. All the people who heard about it were shocked, and they hurriedly fled home and closed their doors.

You must know that three years ago, when Suzhou was flooded, there were people who suffered from this epidemic, and the initial number of deaths was hundreds every day, and later, the number of sick people was thousands every day.

Later, when the emperor learned of this, he ordered the village to be closed and the city closed, and even set fire to more than a dozen villages with epidemics, which controlled the spread of the epidemic.

But that time has left too many painful memories for all the people in the city.

Now outside Huaiyuan County, there is also an epidemic, although no one in the city has sought medical treatment for this disease, but no one knows whether there are people who have been infected with the disease, and have mixed into the county.

The three doctors were also panicked, and they were not completely sure that they would be cured of this disease.

"The herald sealed the gates of the city from now on, and that no one should be allowed to go out of the city, and not enter the city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Although this happened outside Huaiyuan County, it doesn't matter whether these people are disaster victims from Suzhou, or lowly people who live by begging in the city. Lord Yuan could no longer let these people into the city.

Even when the city was closed, even the people outside the city were not allowed to enter the city.

Lord Yuan now not only wants to save his life, but also wants to ensure the entire Huaiyuan County.

Otherwise, if the entire Huaiyuan County is also plagued, then he will only have to wait for the emperor's decree to burn the city.

"Order the inspection department to strictly guard the city gate, and the Yanai step quickly to order each square to control the registered households, not to go out without permission, and not to have contact with people outside the city!"

Before Lord Yuan could return to the office, he issued strict orders one after another. The following officials who should be on duty have never been as diligent and conscientious as they are today.

When I returned to the county office, I saw that Lu Sanye was still sitting in the hall, and he hurriedly bowed down to apologize.

"Look at this matter, it was Yuan who failed to investigate at some point, but let the third master be wronged!"

"Lu Sanye has always been generous, but now there are many things in the yamen, and Yuan will come to the door to apologize another day!"

Although Lu Chengyao has not entered the court as an official, he has seen a lot of things in this officialdom.

What's more, when Lord Yuan went to the Lu Mansion to invite him to the court, he only said that he was invited to assist in the investigation, and he was not shackled, so Lu Chengyao naturally wanted to calm things down.

After all, this current official is not as good as the current management, and the Lu Mansion must have a good relationship with the magistrate for a day in Huaiyuan County.

"What Lord Yuan said is just a misunderstanding, and Lord Yuan doesn't have to take it to heart. Since Lord Yuan is busy here, then Lu will come to visit another day!"

Yuan Zhixian personally sent Lu Chengyao out of the yamen, and then returned to the yamen to do things.

Lu Chengyao walked out of the yamen and went back to Lu Mansion directly, since Lu Feng came just now, this matter must have nothing to do with his daughter, he was anxious to go to his daughter for verification.

To know that the plague can be big or small, just look at the lawsuit on Lord Yuan's face just now, and you know how serious the situation is.
