The crown prince Qin Yu was infected with the plague and could no longer handle government affairs, so the county lord Qin Lian assisted Xie Mohan in strictly controlling Lin'an City.

On the first day, everything was in order.

On the second day, Xie Mohan suddenly fainted and fell to the ground when he was discussing with the officials of Lin'an City in the conference hall. After Yan Chen saw it, his face changed greatly, and he said: Xie Mohan was also infected with the epidemic.

When the officials heard this, everyone was shocked.

The prince was infected with the epidemic, and Lin'an City and Xie Hou Ye stabilized the people's hearts, but now Xie Hou Ye is also infected with the epidemic, after all, the county lord is his daughter's family, and Lin'an City can be described as a real crisis.

Everyone looks at me for a while, and I look at you, and they don't know what to do.

When everyone's faces were full of sadness, Yan Chen glanced at everyone and said, "I see that most of you are black, which is also a sign of infection. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked and everyone was in danger.

The council chamber was in chaos.

Qin Lian got the news and ran over, grabbed Yan Chen and asked anxiously, "Xie Mohan is really infected with the epidemic?" ”

Yan Chen raised her hand slightly, opened the sleeve she had just pinched, and nodded.

"The black comfrey grass has not been found yet, and now more than half of the people in the city are infected with the epidemic, what can I do?" Qin Lian didn't think it was terrible, but in the past two days, she has seen people die in the city one after another, and the soldiers carried the corpses to cremation one by one, although she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the shady methods of killing people with open knives and hidden arrows, but she has never seen human life like grass mustard, burning in piles, and thousands of people died in just two days.

If this momentum continues, the entire city will be infected with the plague and will die, then there will be more than 100,000 people. She couldn't help but want to open the city gate several times to release those who were not infected with the epidemic, but she was afraid that there were people with hidden diseases among them, and if they were released, it would harm the entire Southern Qin.

Although she grew up in the palace since she was a child, she also inherited the charity and softness of her mother, Prince Ying, in her heart and bones, and she could only desperately suppress herself from impulsively opening the city gate and letting her go.

After two days, it was on the verge of collapse.

Now seeing that Xie Mohan is also infected with the epidemic, and more than half of the officials in Lin'an City are also infected with the epidemic, she can't stand it at all.

"The more this time, the more the county lord should be stable and not mess up." Yan Chen said, "The county lord knows what he should do at this time. ”

"What should I do? Now it's been two days, and tomorrow will be the third day, and without the black purple grass, Brother Qin Yu and Xie Mohan will die. Qin Lian's face turned pale and muttered, "What should I do?" I went out to find black comfrey. ”

"There is no black purple grass within a radius of five hundred miles, how many people did the prince send out? There has been no news so far. Now there's one day left, how far can you go out? Yan Chen said coldly, "Besides, "If the county lord goes out of the city at this time, who will control Lin'an City?" If there is a riot in the city, what will happen to you? The county lord is not an ignorant person, so he should understand the reason. ”

Qin Lian took two steps back, speechless for a moment.

Yan Chen glanced at her, waved his hand to the two of them, lifted Xie Mohan up, and walked out of the conference hall.

After Yan Chen took Xie Mohan away, everyone in the conference hall looked at me, I looked at you, when they saw the blackened person in the hall, they were all so frightened that they hurriedly avoided it, and someone wanted to rush out of the conference hall, and one person went out, and everyone followed out.

"Stop!" Qin Lian shouted, stood up straight, blocked the door of the conference hall, looked at everyone in the conference hall, and shouted to the outside, "Someone!" Keep this place guarded, and no one is allowed to take a step. ”

The officials were shocked.

Someone immediately asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"Since Yan Chen said that most of you here are infected with the same epidemic disease as Xie Mohan, you must be quarantined and can't go out again." Qin Zheng waved his hand irritably, dropped a sentence, and turned around and walked out of the conference hall.

The officials glanced at each other, all of them showed disbelief, and walked out together.

A guard drew the sword at his waist, stood in front of the door, and said with a straight face, "The county lord has an order, anyone who takes a step will die." ”

Everyone stepped back in unison.

Someone was furious, "We are the parents of Lin'an City, why did the county lord lock all of us here at this time?" We still have people who haven't been infected with the disease. ”

"Brother Qin Yu gave me the token!" Qin Zheng went and returned, took out the token, and showed it in front of everyone, "Those who have been in contact with people who have been infected with the epidemic, they don't see that there is no outbreak of the epidemic at present, and they may not have an attack in the next moment." So, of course, none of you can leave. ”

When everyone saw the prince's token, they all fell silent.

Qin Zheng snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the incompetence of your parents and officials in Lin'an City, who couldn't cure the flood and prevent the plague, why would you make Lin'an City have an epidemic and fall into a crisis?" also affected Brother Qin Yu and Master Xie? You'd better bless someone to find the black purple grass before sunset tomorrow and save Lin'an City. Otherwise, without waiting for you to break out of the epidemic, as long as Brother Qin Yu and Master Xie have something, I will kill you useless people first. ”

Everyone was so frightened that they all took a few steps back, and some of them had weak legs and knelt on the ground with a "poof".

After Qin Lian dropped two cruel words, and saw that everyone was quiet and honest, she turned around and left and went to Qin Yu's residence.

Qin Yu's residence was extremely quiet, and no one was noisy.

Qin Lian hurried to the door and asked one of the guards urgently, "Where is Brother Qin Yu?" How's it going? ”

"The prince was in the room, coughing all the time, and he just stopped." The man said immediately.

Qin Lian nodded and walked in anxiously.

The man immediately stepped in to stop her, "County Lord, the prince has contracted the epidemic and ordered that no one should go in." ”

"Xie Mohan was also infected with the epidemic, more than half of the officials in Lin'an City were infected with the epidemic, and half of the people in the entire Lin'an City were also infected with the epidemic. When is it? What's the use of holding me back? When everyone is infected, I can't run. Qin Lian waved his hand to open him, "Let me in!" ”

"Without the prince's order, his subordinates dare not let you in." The man shook his head, still standing at the door.

Qin Lian was annoyed and waved his hand to fight, but the man had martial arts and avoided it lightly.

Qin Lian couldn't take him, so he could only shout inside, "Brother Qin Yu!" Brother Qin Yu! Let me in! ”

After she shouted a few times, no one answered on the façade.

Qin Lian was suspicious, grabbed the man and asked, "You tell me, is Brother Qin Yu not there?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yu's hoarse voice came from the façade, "I'm here." ”

When Qin Lian heard his voice, he immediately said, "Brother Qin Yu, let me in." ”

Qin Yu coughed twice and asked, "What are you going to do when you come in?" Is there a hurry? ”

"Xie Mohan has also contracted the epidemic, and now two days have passed, if there is no black comfrey, what can I do! Brother Qin Yu, do you have any news from the people you sent to find the black comfrey? Qin Lian immediately asked.

"Not yet, wait." Qin Yu said.

"I've been waiting for two days, and if I wait another day, you'll be dead." Qin Lian was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Xie Mohan has fallen, and now I have isolated all the officials in Lin'an City in the council hall." What to do next? You won't let me in, at least tell me what to do! ”

"Guard the gates, it is still the same as the previous two days, and no one is allowed to let go." Qin Yu said.

Qin Lian was just about to speak again, when someone hurriedly ran over, "County Lord, go to the city gate quickly!" Some people want to go out of the city and make trouble at the gates. When many people heard that Marquis Xie was also infected with the epidemic, they all ran to the city gate. ”

"Xie Mohan just fainted after being infected with the epidemic, why did the news spread so quickly?" Qin Lian was shocked.

The man shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Someone must be secretly doing something!" Qin Lian didn't care about going in to find Qin Yu anymore, so she hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and led people towards the city gate.

After Qin Lian left, the waiter and Pin Zhu walked out of Qin Yu's room.

The man guarding the door saw the two of them and immediately said to Pinzhu, "Your voice is so similar to that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that even I thought that the Crown Prince was really there." ”

"If it weren't for the orders of my Marquis Xie, I wouldn't be willing to imitate your prince, he is obviously infected with the epidemic, but he can run around. And if others are infected with the disease, they are not allowed to leave the city. It doesn't make sense! Pinzhu glared at the man.

The man choked, and immediately said, "The prince can't help it, everyone around him has been sent out to find black comfrey, now that there is something, how can he not go out in person?" I wanted to go out, but the prince said I couldn't do it, so he had to go himself. As he spoke, he became worried, "The prince was originally infected with the epidemic, and he went out of the city alone, and he had been walking for most of the day, but nothing happened." ”

When Pinzhu heard this, he also felt that Qin Yu was not easy, but he still snorted coldly, "It's because your prince has no ability and has come to Lin'an City early, but it has made Lin'an City fall into such a situation now." I really don't know how he managed to get a draw with Zheng Xiaowang for so many years? In my opinion, his ability is not as good as that of Zheng Xiaowangye. ”

When the man heard this, he was immediately annoyed, "My prince has been controlling the water all the way and how many people have been saved?" Is Lin'an City secretly manipulating the conspiracy by someone with a powerful force behind it? There are few people brought out of Beijing by the prince, and the so-called one person is difficult to defeat with four hands? Where could it be that he is incompetent? After a pause, he added, "Don't forget, your young lady and the little prince have divorced, and the holy decree is suspended." What do you keep saying about what is the little prince doing? You said that he couldn't hear it, and now he may be happy in which gentle township. ”

Pin Zhu was angry when he heard it, "No wonder the prince went out to run errands with the epidemic, leaving only you as a little guard and scholar, it turns out that you are really useless, you know that you are only worthy of guarding the door." ”

"You ......," the man glared angrily.

"Alright, let's not say a word! When is it? Don't talk so much. The waiter interrupted the two, looked at the guard and asked, "Let me ask you, is Marquis Xie really infected with the epidemic?" Isn't it okay to ring at noon? ”

The man stopped talking and shook his head, "The county lord said that he was infected with the epidemic, and I have been staying here, how do I know?" Go and ask Yan Chen, whether Master Xie is infected with the epidemic, he is a miracle doctor, and he knows best. ”

The waiter nodded, stretched out his hand to grab Pinzhu, and the two hurried towards Xie Mohan's residence together.
