CHAPTER XXXI

The person sent by the Marquis of Jinghai to Dingyuan County to inform the disaster was his close confidant Shen Gui. The night he went was just in time for Lu Zhixian's fiftieth birthday, and he was feasting guests, so he warmly stayed for him to eat and drink.

Shen Gui couldn't refuse, and after sitting for a while, he went back to his life. It just so happened that the cronies of the Huang Governor's Mansion were also here, and they poured some yellow soup, and they couldn't help but launch a prison, "The official opens his mouth and breaks his leg below." Knowing that the prefect didn't agree to go out of the city, Marquis Shen let him run this way. They are all errands, who is more noble than whom, but he still looks down on us, and leaves after making a show. ”

"Even Marquis Shen can't go past the prefect and directly manage the head of our county lord." The people here in Dingyuan clapped their horses and agreed.

The servants poured some yellow soup, but they didn't keep the door open, and the more they talked, the more angry they became, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the Marquis of Jinghai had crossed the line.

Everyone drank until the second watch, and forgot all about Shen Gui's notice. By the next day, everything was calm and nothing happened, and the people in the county government felt that Marquis Shen was making too much of a fuss, so they didn't send anyone to sue the people in the city at all.

When the ground moved, thousands of people died overnight, and Lu Zhixian felt that things were a little strict. It just happened that the road to Haozhou was blocked again, so he asked someone to wait there, waiting for Shen Zheng to send someone to inquire, and directly replied "safe and sound".

As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger.

It's just a dead person, isn't it okay if you bury it?

If the earth dragon turns over, it will definitely die. In the big picture, even the emperor is responsible. Aren't all the people of the world the emperor's people? The emperor's virtue was at a loss, so he led the heavens to complain angrily and lower the punishment. But if you can hide it and not stab it in the open, maybe this matter will pass without you knowing. Even if the Marquis of Jinghai and Huang Zhifu knew that someone had died, they could only help to conceal it, otherwise they would be unable to bear it if the court investigated it. As for the family of the deceased, when the time comes, they will pay a little money casually, who would dare to put a dead man with white flowers and silver, and want to offend the officials?

When Lu Zhixian thought about it, he didn't need to be persuaded by anyone, but persuaded himself by himself.

It is said that the road should be actively repaired now, so as to contact the outside world, but Lu Zhixian couldn't help but be a little nervous because he had done something wrong. His official was donated again, and now he has pierced such a big hole, although he has a remedy, his heart is not steady, and every night he dreams, he always dreams that the unjust soul is looking for his life. He only cares about being frightened and afraid, and he can't live in fear, where else can he care.

It wasn't until Liu Chengfang became a fellow acquaintance that it took five days to dredge the blocked road.

When Lu Zhixian learned that the road was open, he remembered that someone should judge him now, and he couldn't withstand the mental pressure, so he jumped into the lake and drowned.

Liu Chengfang looked at the flies that stopped on the dead bodies of animals, and realized that Lu Zhixian had not done anything about what he had confessed, and the county magistrate in this county had disappeared when the ground moved.

"Is there a recent epidemic in the city?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, dozens of people have died in the county, and dozens of others are seriously ill; There are also many people who have dysentery and can't get up from bed. ”

Liu Chengfang remembered Wang Jing's words, "After the catastrophe, there will be a plague, and it is necessary to disinfect everywhere with lime water, and boil herbs for everyone to drink." If a large number of people are infected with the epidemic, they need to be consulted by doctors in the whole city, and if they are malaria, dysentery, etc., they must be isolated and treated. ”

Malaria is currently in Da Zhou, and it seems to be difficult to treat, and many people die every year because of it.

Liu Chengfang quickly reported the matter to Han Zhixian, and invited more than a dozen well-known doctors to come to the consultation and came to the conclusion of malaria.

Although it is good to be an official, you also have to live to enjoy it.

Han Tongzhi has been passed down from generation to generation, and his father happened to die again, so he did not hesitate to report Ding Wei.

Liu Chengfang's parents died early, and he is a local, even if he gives up being an official, there are still so many relatives in Haozhou. Besides, so many dead people have not yet been dealt with, and the flies are flying on it, which is shocking to watch.

"All these people were cremated." He commanded with a blank face.

Before he finished speaking, some family members knelt down in front of him and began to cry.

There was one kneeling, there was a second, and after a while, it was a large area.

As for cremation, it is a punishment that must be accepted only for committing the most heinous crimes.

"If we don't burn it, their disease will spread to us. They died in our place in the hope that we would live well. Even if they knew, they wouldn't blame us. Liu Chengfang explained.

Before he finished speaking, the wolf-like servant began to carry out the order.

He also deliberately isolated people with malaria and left people to guard them.

But the people who were left behind didn't say anything on their lips, but they were terrified in their hearts.

The people who treated malaria arranged by the imperial court have been missing for a long time.

Although Xinzhi County was arranged, the county magistrate was brilliant, but would he cure malaria?

Does he know how many people die each year from malaria?

Besides, the prefect, he has only been an official for a few days? Is it capable of handling such a thing?

Not to mention that ordinary people are skeptical of the newly appointed prefect and county lord at the moment, even the Marquis of Jinghai feels that such a decision by the imperial court is really child's play!

Since ancient times, there has been an unwritten rule that officials serve in different places. How can there be a precedent for prefects and counties to be promoted from the local area? What's more, this fellow intellectual, who has been in office for less than half a month, has become a prefect before he has made any political achievements! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step to the sky.

The physician who treated the abuse had not yet arrived.

Could it be that the purpose of the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Yu Cheng was to take this opportunity to use the word "drag" to make Jingyuan's army suffer and die without a fight?

Thinking of this, Rao is experienced Shen Houye, and he also broke out in a cold sweat.

It's no wonder that Shen Zheng thought about it too much, the Shen family was originally an important minister of the former dynasty, but although they later returned to the Great Zhou, they were finally worried that there would be a day when they would unload the mill and kill the donkey.

But in order to deal with him, the Queen Mother and the Yu family really shouldn't have disregarded so many innocent lives. In the final analysis, Liu Chengfang was just implicated by him.

However, he looked unhurried, which made Shen Zheng look at it a few times.

Actually, Liu Chengfang was just calm, but he knew that if he panicked at this time, it was estimated that the following would be a mess.

What else can be done but wait?

But who knows if they are waiting for death or being rescued?

Seeing that one by one, the living people became dying, became cold limbs, and had no life.

No one can be sure that the person who will be infected in the next moment will be himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you really helpless? Are we all here waiting to die? Someone finally couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, the famous doctor invited by Ben Hou is estimated to be here the day after tomorrow." Jing Haihou said.

In fact, if he can't get it the day after tomorrow, he doesn't have a score in his heart. There are countless strange people under his command, but none of them can cure malaria, only an old gentleman recommended the seventy-ninth great-grandson of the medicine king, and specially sent Shen Rong to invite him, and he didn't know when he would come back.

As for Liu Chengfang, Wang Jing told him that Artemisia annua can cure malaria, and he was still a little hesitant. Since she was a child, she has only cured a few chickens by herself, and now she is a living person, and their old doctors who have been sick for decades are helpless.

But I heard Qiao Chaoyang suddenly speak: "We definitely won't wait for death!" Look, the medicine I have in my hand is the medicine for malaria. ”

Liu Chengfang took a look, isn't this Artemisia annua?

Could it be that Sister Jing sued him?

Looking at it again, Wang Jing was standing not far behind Qiao Chaoyang, looking like a dusty man, obviously not long after he arrived.
