Walking out of the ward, Ma Qiang saw that there was already a team of sergeants outside, and Guo Xun was sitting in a carriage, also wearing a mask.

Seeing Ma Qiang coming out, Guo Xun hurriedly got out of the car, stepped forward and asked, "Sir, have you seen it?" How is it? Potentially curable? ”

Ma Qiang shook his head, and then said, "This disease is very complicated, I can't think of a way to treat it in a short time, so I can only use the method of isolation to reduce the number of people who get sick first. ”

"It's... Do you want to ask the court for help? Is it necessary to make such a big move? Guo Xun originally hoped that Ma Qiang would be able to solve it by giving him some fairy water, and he would be able to take a good look at the upcoming Sun Zhang's ass, who would have thought that Ma Qiang would directly ask for the closure of the city and the village, and also report to the imperial court.

Is it okay if this is reported?

Because of Dong Zhongshu, the people of this era believe in the induction of heaven and man, thinking that any disaster is caused by someone who is immoral, if the plague really breaks out, then Guo Xun's position will definitely not be stable, Guo Xun is also worried about this and wants to cover it first.

In the final analysis, a bureaucrat like Guo Xun really only has his own official position in his eyes, and the life and death of ordinary people are just passing by the eyes.

"It must be so, Guo Yuanjun, there are already more than three hundred lying here, I am afraid that there are no less than five hundred infected people in the city, this is also Doctor Li's judgment, and the counties add up to more than a thousand, such a scale is no longer something that can be controlled.

What's more, I feel that this plague is strange. Ma Qiang arched his hand and said.

"Strange? How? Isn't it the plague? Guo Xun asked puzzled.

"This is indeed a plague, but a normal plague should spread slowly from a point, that is, there is a source, but now it seems that this plague is simply blooming all over the ground, this is definitely not an ordinary plague, this is someone poisoning!"

Ma Qiang said, a figure already appeared in his mind.

"Poisoning?" Liu Bei and the others couldn't help but scream, if the plague could be artificially poisoned, it would be too terrible.

"Who dares to do such a thing that is disagreeable in the world!" Li Jue's beard was cocked, and when he thought that he was desperately trying to save people here, but someone was desperately harming people, he wanted to call the poisoner out to talk about life.

"The spread of plague has existed since ancient times, in the past, my Han counterattacked the Huns, and the champion Hou Feng wolf Juxu was invincible. The Xiongnu spread dead cattle and horses in the water source, causing our Han army to be infected with plague, which is recorded in the history books. Ma Qiang casually gave an example, and then said, "But the Huns spread the plague to deal with our Han army that day, so what is the purpose of the black hand behind the scenes?" That's why I want you to report to the court immediately, if I expected, if the plague can't be controlled, the catastrophe in Youzhou has just begun. ”

At this time, Ma Qiang was surprised to find that Guo Xun's face was not surprised, and he thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but scold secretly.

This Guo Xun probably discovered the strangeness of this plague a long time ago, and he also looked at himself with suspicion, asking himself to see if it was fake and testing whether he was real.

After all, in the entire Youzhou, there are not many people with this ability, Ma Qiang counts one, Taiping Dao counts one, Li Jue counts half, Li Jue has been trying to save people in Jixian County, naturally it can be ruled out, and now he asks to report to the court, it can be ruled out, and Guo Xun can also focus on Taiping Dao.

Anyway, why were you so shrewd, why were you killed by the Yellow Turban Army later?

"There is such a thing, but there is no evidence for such a thing, Mr. Ma may find evidence?" Guo Xun asked.

Ma Qiang's eyes moved, and he understood, this is to put the responsibility on himself, if he finds evidence, then it means that the plague is really spread by someone, and Guo Xun, who is a thorn in history, will not be responsible, maybe he can mention it by walking around, if he can't find it... Can you find it yourself? If you can't find it, you have to find it!

These officials have really dirty hearts!

Bah!

"Rest assured, I will definitely find the evidence, and please give the order immediately."

"Okay, in that case, it just so happens that the Gongsun County Commander is also unfortunately infected, and Mrs. Liu can't be a director because of the wind and cold, so I will temporarily appoint you as the acting Ji County Commander, and you will be in charge of the plague matter, if you need assistance or action from other counties, you can report it directly to me." Guo Xun gave Ma Qiang a sweet date at the moment.

"Thank you for your grace, and the lower official will make two requests first." Since it is given to the official, Ma Qiang will follow first, and if there is no official body, this thing is not easy to do.

"What?"

"First, since someone poisoned it, then this plague will not be so easy to solve, we must gather all the forces that can be gathered, please ask the envoy to immediately gather the heads of the various families, we must get their help.

Second, the envoy also needs to send an order to the border army, no matter what happens in Youzhou, the border army in Lulongsai and other places must not be moved lightly, and he also needs to ask Jizhou and Qingzhou to prepare soldiers and horses to blockade the state border, while ensuring that the plague does not spread to other state capitals, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent accidents. ”

"Reasonable! So I did so. ”

Although Ma Qiang doesn't like the family, the limitation of the generation is that if you completely abandon the family, you can't do anything in this era, the reason is very simple, as long as you have a little culture, you are the children of the family, unless you can create a literati team that is not a child of the family, otherwise Ma Qiang must act with the help of the power of the family.

This is also why the first thing Ma Qiang did when he established the Red Star Camp was to build a school.

Ma Qiang knows too well how terrifying it can be when a group of educated and idealistic people are organized.

I really thought that Ma Qiang named the Red Star Camp in order to make a second pot.

——

"Now the matter is urgent, County Lieutenant Zhang, you should go back immediately to see Mrs. Lu, and then come back to organize the sergeants and start the lockdown." Ma Qiang waited for Guo Xun to leave and began to order.

"Okay, I'll be right back soon, sir!" Zhang Sheng was indeed worried about Lu Ning, and when he heard Ma Qiang say this, he said hello and left.

"By the way, who is the county leader of Ji County?" Ma Qiang suddenly remembered that he didn't know his subordinates.

"The county is the right north of Pingtian Liang." Fortunately, Li Jue is here, otherwise Ma Qiang, who has no local Zhang Sheng, really doesn't know how many subordinates he has.

"Right North Hirata family?" Ma Qiang muttered, indicating that he understood, and led everyone to the county office.

Although Youzhou is not as good as the Central Plains family, there is always the largest family in each county, just like the Lu family in Zhuo County, the Tian family is also the first family in Youbeiping, and the most well-known person in this period is Tian Chou, but unfortunately Tian Chou is too young at this time, and he should still be studying at home, otherwise Ma Qiang still wants to see him.

As for the Gongsun family, which was known to later generations, it was entrenched in the eastern and western Liaodong generations.
