Li Fangming arranged for the messenger to go back to rest, stood in front of the sedan chair and thought about it, sighed heavily, still got on the sedan chair, and said, "Set off to Fengfu." ”

"Master Lee." A cold male voice suddenly came from outside the sedan curtain.

Li Fangming felt his heart tremble, it was the prince who was calling him. He is the Li family, and he belongs to two camps with the Yuan Wangfu, and when facing the old prince, he just respectfully offers, but in the face of this young prince, he always feels timid.

Colleagues often exchange some gossip inside and outside the officialdom, which is hearsay without any basis, including the chilling methods of this prince who looks like an immortal.

In fact, there is no evidence, but those who often oppose Xie Jingxiu often do not die well, or disappear without a trace like the world has evaporated, or die unexpectedly, and no one can find any clues. The Li family is so powerful that no one can protect it. One or two cases may be coincidences, and eight out of ten cases are down, who can believe that those are all accidental coincidences?

Li Fangming, as a member of the Li family, chose a little less confidence, and he was very afraid of this prince, so he hurriedly got off the sedan chair and responded attentively: "The lower officials listen to the teachings of the prince." ”

Xie Jingxiu looked at him with slightly lowered eyelashes, and said: "Since it is an epidemic, everyone is vying to save their lives, and it is too late to stay away, how to let a beautiful and weak woman from a family go to the center of the epidemic." ”

Li Fangming replied again and again: "What the prince said is that the lower officials also think so. God knew that what he originally wanted was to meet the request of Old Doctor Qin and invite Miss Feng out of the city to see those homeless people, so he hurried back to sit in the prefect's yamen.

The plague makes people scared when they hear it, and they will go to the settlement house when they go crazy.

It's just that Miss Feng is indeed good at medicine, and she can even bring the dead back to life, and she and the experienced old doctor Qin work together, maybe she can cure the epidemic, and add another merit before he returns to Beijing to report on work.

The good wishful thinking has now been mixed up by the prince.

I only heard the prince say again: "The homeless people must not be ignored, is there no other doctor in Huaiqian City?" Master Li should lead by example and lead the doctors to the resettlement center, so as to appease the displaced people so that they will not □□ in panic. ”

Li Fangming was horrified when he heard that this master wanted him to go to the settlement center in person, but he could only respond without tears.

Between going to the resettlement center and disobeying the orders of the prince, he chose to go to the resettlement house without hesitation.

Li Fangming got into the sedan chair and went to find a doctor, and the patriarch walked behind Xie Jingxiu and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my grandson to care about others." ”

Xie Jingxiu didn't say anything, Da Yu drew an arc in mid-air, turned around and walked towards the gate.

The patriarch touched his beard and thought for a long time, and the colorful glow on the horizon had faded, and it had begun to show a trace of dark blue night.

Miss Feng's medical skills seem to be knife cutting and stitching, and this epidemic cannot be cured in this way. Just because she is a skilled doctor, she can't take a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life to the epidemic area. There is no reason to act like this in the world, so Li Fangming didn't dare to go to the epidemic area himself, and he actually wanted to put the responsibility on Miss Feng, and sure enough, he still couldn't get rid of the selfishness of the Li family in his bones.

The patriarch sighed, and also turned around and walked towards the mansion.

At this time, the "selfish" Lord Li Fangming was traveling all the way to the streets and alleys lined with medical halls in Huaiqian City, and asked his subordinates to gather all the doctors and take them out of the city.

A group of doctors also got the news early and knew that the outbreak of the epidemic in the settlement outside the city was violent, but it was not a simple epidemic, and now they don't know what kind of panic it is, who would dare to go to that kind of place? Therefore, most of the people were crying and begging for mercy, and no one wanted to go outside the city with them.

"Lord Li, you are a good man! The little one just relies on the ancestral recipe to treat some small diseases of headache and brain fever on weekdays, and the little one is not good at medical skills, so he is really powerless to share the worries of adults! ”

"Yes, yes, I can only add chaos to people who are not skilled in medicine. With Dr. Qin sitting in the settlement center, there must be no problem. ”

In front of the sedan chair, a group of people knelt down, crying bitterly and begging not to go out.

Li Fangming was so angry that his brain hurt. Do these people think he just wants to go?! If he cried and pleaded, he could not go, and he would rather cry and fall under the robe of the prince of Yuan.

Now he has to obey the order to go, these people still want to run?! No way, don't even think about running!

Li Fangming said viciously: "The epidemic is urgent, and the official is still in the epidemic area, but the people who practice medicine to help the world are retreating into the city for their own selfish interests, don't you feel guilty?" Whoever dares not to go today will not be saved, and the crime of murder can be punished according to the rules! All of them will be sent to prison, and all of them will be reported to the Criminal Department to make an example of chickens and monkeys! ”

After Li Fangming finished speaking, he got back into the sedan chair and waved his hand: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”

The doctors who were left kneeling on the ground looked at each other, flustered and frightened, as if there was no way to survive whether they could get out of the city or not. Some of the timid could only get into the carriage arranged by the government with their necks strained, and some of them retreated back into the courtyard with a fluke mood, and made up their minds never to leave the city.

The epidemic is fiercer than a tiger, who knows if you will come back if you go out once.

Xiao Yu sat in the carriage and staggered for a long time, then felt the carriage suddenly stop.

"Have you arrived?" Xiao Yu opened the curtain and looked out.

The coachman hurriedly turned around and said, "Girl, it is the prefect's carriage and horses that occupy the street, let's stay out for a moment and wait for them to pass before leaving." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and saw a sedan chair staggering over not far ahead, followed by two carriages without roofs, which were crowded with people, all of them looking depressed, even panicked and frightened.

Xiao Yu saw that most of them were holding a medical box in their hands, and it looked like they should be doctors. It's just why do you bring so many doctors together? They were still crying and mourning, as if they were going to the execution ground.

The carriage slowly passed in front of him, and Xiao Yu saw at a glance that there was a familiar face among the people in the car, it was the ulcer doctor Cheng who was with him to treat Zhou Zhao's hand.

Xiao Yu hurriedly jumped out of the car and stepped forward and said, "Doctor Cheng, it's dark this day, where are you going?" ”

When Dr. Cheng saw him, he hurriedly came to the side of the car and said to him, "Miss Feng? Why are you still on the street at such a late hour, hurry up and go home. There is an outbreak of the epidemic in the settlement center for displaced people outside the city, and we are about to accompany the prefect to the settlement center for medical treatment. ”

"Plague?" Xiao Yuyi's disease, what kind of epidemic can break out on such a cold day?

The kung fu carriage that was talking had already gone away, and Xiao Yu had to stop and stand on the side of the street. Dr. Cheng in the car was still waving his hand to him: "Go home quickly." ”

When they were treating Zhou's injuries together, this Feng girl's steadiness and superb medical skills made people ignore her age, and at this moment, when they met on the street, they found that she was only about the same age as his daughter, and Dr. Cheng couldn't help but be concerned in his heart, and said two more words.

Xiao Yu waved at him, and walked back to his carriage in thought, and the coachman drove forward again.

Xiao Yu suddenly said: "Uncle Coachman, you hurry up the car, let's go home early." The coachman answered, and with a wave of his whip, the horse trotted all the way.

After a short time, he arrived outside the gate of Fengfu, Xiao Yu got out of the car and told the coachman to wait outside the door and not to go back first. Although the coachman wondered where Miss Feng was going so late, he had to be told by the old lady that he only needed to listen to Miss Feng's orders and did not need to ask her about her arrangements, so he waited there with peace of mind.

Xiao Yu ran all the way back to Qingyun Pavilion, entered the room that was specially used for disinfection, took out a few sets of new robes and face towels and white cloths from the cabinet, wrapped them in a piece of baggage, took a few bottles of spirits, wrapped them together, and walked outside.

Bai Ling had been following him, and Xiao Yu turned around and said, "Bai Ling, you stay in Qingyun Pavilion, I have something to do when I go out." ”

Bai Ling was stunned, and immediately shook his head again and again: "No, how can there not even be a maid by the girl's side?" I can't leave the girl's side. ”

Her girl's recent behavior has attracted the girls in the other rooms to secretly laugh, if she goes out without even bringing a maid, the girl will be looked down upon by them in the future. Bai Ling cared about these very much, and was definitely unwilling to leave Xiao Yu for half a step.

Xiao Yu argued with her, so he could only let her follow her. It is not known what the epidemic is, but it should not be a virulent respiratory infection such as smallpox, otherwise it would not be unclear, and it will only be said that it is an epidemic.

As long as you take care of the protection, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Xiao Yu went out and got into the carriage, and asked the coachman to drive the car all the way out of the city: "Let's go to the homeless settlement, we should be faster." ”

The coachman answered, drove the carriage as fast as he could, and drove along the main road in the city towards the city gates.

When he was about to arrive at the resettlement center, Xiao Yu asked the coachman to stop, he and Bai Ling got out of the car, told the coachman to go back to the house first, and then walked to the resettlement center with Bai Ling.

Li Fangming and his entourage arrived at the resettlement center one step earlier. As soon as they approached the gate of the shelter, they smelled a foul smell coming from inside, and everyone couldn't help but cover their noses with their sleeves, and hesitated to enter.

Li Fangming pointed to Hu Zhixian, who was brought over by the person he sent, and said: "Lord Hu, you are the parent official of Huaiqian City, why don't you go in quickly to find out the situation." The official set up camp outside, and advanced and retreated with you. Hurry up and find out what the epidemic is, how the doctor diagnosed it, and come back quickly to report to the official, who can also determine the way to deal with it. Don't let this officer down. ”

Hu Zhixian scolded in his heart. He is Huaiqian's parent official, Huaiqian is also under Li Fangming's rule, this old thing is afraid of death and still wants to take credit, what to say about camping outside, it is really high-sounding.

But there was no way, his surname was Li, and he didn't dare to disobey the surname Li.

Hu Zhixian responded with a smile, and turned his head to look at the simple wooden gate of the resettlement center with a solemn face.

There was a bad smell from that gate, and Hu Zhixian had never smelled such a disgusting smell when he was so big. Maybe that's what death smells like, right? The door was like the boundary between life and death, life outside the door and death inside the door, and the torches inside the door seemed to be unable to illuminate the hellish darkness that gradually spread inside the door.

Hu Zhixian looked back at the doctors who were shrinking behind him, and suddenly became angry.

Li Fangming's old thing bullied him, even if these doctors are good, dare to let him be in front?

Hu Zhixian grabbed two doctors and pushed them to the front, pinched his sleeves and covered his mouth and nose, and said in a deep voice: "You guys lead the way for me in front!" ”

The two doctors trembled, looked at each other with bitter faces, raised their footsteps, and took a step in the direction of the gate.

"What's going on? What are you doing here? A clear voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, in this wilderness filled with heavy darkness and disgusting sour smell, under the heavy heart of everyone having to face the door of death, the young man's voice not only brightened people's ears, but also seemed to have a glimmer of light in front of him, and even the smell was fresh.

Everyone hurriedly stopped and turned around, as if there was something big behind them that had to be watched. Anyway, as long as they can drag on for a moment and not to step through that gate, no matter who it is, they will look at it with gratitude.

This look came as a slight surprise to many. Originally, I thought it was a teenager when I heard the voice, but I didn't expect it to be a young lady wearing a azure skirt and walked over.

Xiao Yu was also startled when he saw the crowd facing the gate of the resettlement house looking back at him violently, and remembered the joke in modern society at an inopportune time, saying that the sunflower faces the sun from east to west, and what happens when the sun rises from the east the next day? A sunflower shook its head violently...... It's really weird and scary.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Good evening, everyone." Are you also here to see the epidemic? ”

The others didn't do anything, Li Fangming was already so frightened that he almost jumped up when he saw Xiao Yu.

Xie Shizi personally instructed him not to find Miss Feng to come out, but Miss Feng actually appeared here, if Xie Shizi knew about this, how would he explain it!

Li Fangming stepped forward and said, "Miss Feng, it's getting late, what are you doing here?" But lost? It's not fun here, I'll send someone to escort you back. ”

Xiao Yu didn't know about Xie Jingxiu's persecution of Li Fangming, but when he saw that Li Fangming, as the prefect, actually went to inspect the epidemic area in person, he couldn't help but be in awe. He knew that the officials of the feudal society were really on the heads of the people, and it was rare for a four-grade prefect to be able to do this, in Xiao Yu's opinion.

"Master Li doesn't have to be polite, I heard that there was an outbreak in the resettlement center, and I came to help diagnose and treat the epidemic." Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Master Li, as an official of Huaiqian's parents, and he is not a doctor, it is enough to be respectable to be able to come here. It's just that you can't help when you go to the front line, in case you get sick and it's a loss for Huaiqian, so wait for news outside for the time being. As for the news of the epidemic, I will definitely return to the adults after checking with the doctors in the settlement center. Please also be prepared outside, as you may need a lot of medicine and human support. ”

After saying that, he saluted according to etiquette, and then walked towards the settlement center with Bailing.

Li Fangming froze in place. He was still worried about how to explain to Xie Shizi how to avoid being punished by his revenge, but he didn't want to be so respected by Miss Feng all of a sudden.

Everyone also looked at the slightly slender but slender figure. She was walking steadily towards the gate, the gate of hell that terrified them all.

Miss Feng's pace is not at all like a well-bred lady. The real ladies are all moving lightly, and even the hem of the clothes must not move at all during the action. The big girl Feng walked with the wind on the soles of her feet, and the hem of her clothes flew like a man.

Why was she able to walk so calmly towards that door? Didn't she smell the smell of death that hung out of it?

Why was she so calm? They looked so wolfish and unbearable just now.

Li Fangming took a step forward a little unconsciously, but was hurriedly pulled by the housekeeper beside him.

"Master, don't go forward." The butler covered his mouth and nose and frowned.

Li Fangming's ears were still ringing with the respectful words of Miss Feng just now. She said that he was respectable, and said that if he contracted the disease, it would be a loss for Huaiqian. She told him to wait outside, then turned and walked to the door.

Li Fangming pleaded to himself as an official and asked for the people's life, and he thought that he was worthy of the love of the people. But he couldn't afford to be respected by Miss Feng.

Who deserves such a person's respect? I am not afraid of being crushed by the cowardly and pitiful shoulders.

Xiao Yu walked into the gate with Bai Ling, and met the little doctor Qin who was in a hurry, but after seeing him shocked, he walked towards him with an anxious face.

"Why are you here?!" Doctor Qin was so anxious that he forgot to even salutate him, and he was not as shy as usual, so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, "I just said that Dad is old and confused, how can I let Governor Li invite you over?!" You're really, you're here when you come, do you know what's going on here?! Go back quickly! When I went back, I changed my clothes and burned them, so I stayed at home during this time and didn't go out! "The introverted and shy Doctor Qin really has a rare manly spirit.

Xiao Yu smiled and took Doctor Qin's hand and walked inside. Doctor Qin was stunned, looking at the slender and good-looking hand on his arm, the momentum just now was like a balloon that had burst into the mouth, and it disappeared without a trace, and his delicate face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck.
