The book is picked up again.

Fifteen days after the alliance of the princes left Luoyang.

"It's finally here!" Li Zhi looked at the book in front of him and sighed with a complicated expression.

Early this morning, Jia Xu sent a book slip, which clearly stated that more than a dozen people in the city had been infected with the plague, and the number of people infected with the plague was increasing dramatically!

By now, at noon, the number of people infected with the plague had increased to hundreds!

After Li Zhi knew this, he closed his eyes in pain, he hoped for the first time that there were really immortals in the world!

Because in that case, he can ask the gods to worship the Buddha and let them stop this plague, but unfortunately, there are no gods and no immortals in the world!

In the past few days, Li Zhidu has done everything that can be done.

All kinds of prevention and control work has also been done to the best, and at this time, Li Zhi can only wait for the final result!

Although Li Zhi has issued a lot of prevention and control regulations, all of these regulations are from later generations, and he doesn't know whether they are suitable for the present or not!

Therefore, he could only wait with a tormented heart.

"Da ......" Li Zhi slowly knocked on the table, relieving the depression in his heart.

He now hopes that Jia Xu will come here to report to him, but at the same time he does not want to see Jia Xu.

Because he was really afraid that Jia Xu would tell him that the plague in the city was not controlled, and now the city has been infected with the plague on a large scale!

At this time......

"The lord is here? The subordinates have something important to report. While Li Zhi was anxiously waiting, Jia Xu's voice came from outside the door.

"It's time to come!" After sighing, Li Zhi sat up straight, and said calmly: "Come in." ”

"Wow......" After Jia Xu pushed the door with a sad face, he arched his hand to Li Zhi and said: "Lord Qiqi, things are a little wrong, now there are nearly a thousand people in Luoyang City who have been infected with the plague!" ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard Jia Xu's words, the fist hidden under his sleeve clenched tightly, and his nails pierced his palm!

However, Li Zhi's face did not show anything, and he was as calm as ever.

Because he is the person in charge now, if he also panics, then all his subordinates will lose faith.

Therefore, Li Zhi pretended to be calm and said: "Don't panic, this plague is ferocious, only infecting less than a thousand people, and it can be regarded as a proper prevention and control!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's words changed and asked, "Those who were infected, have you ever controlled them?" ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "According to the lord's epidemic prevention regulations, his subordinates have controlled all those infected people in a workshop in the east of the city.

Outside of the workshop, his subordinates used a large amount of lime slurry and spirits to splash the entire workshop, and it was unlikely that he would infect anyone else. ”

"Hmm" After hearing Jia Xu's words, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good job,

However, you must remember that you must never let anyone in the workshop come out! ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Jia Xu nodded coldly and said, "Please rest assured, although because of the plague, his subordinates did not arrange soldiers in the workshop.

However, outside the workshop, thousands of crossbowmen were arranged under the subordinates!

As soon as someone escapes from inside, these crossbowmen will shoot them in no time! ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard this, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Although he knew it was very inhumane, it ...... This is already the best way to go!

You know, in other places, once a person infected with the plague is found, the magistrate has only one means to burn the infected person alive!

Comparatively speaking, Jia Xu's method is already quite merciful, at least, he gave those people a glimmer of life.

After reluctantly comforting himself, Li Zhi said with some hesitation: "Wenhe, later, you will order some healers to enter the workshop "fully armed" to diagnose these people who are infected with the plague. ”

After Jia Xu heard Li Zhi's order, his brows immediately furrowed, and he asked, "Lord, is this necessary?"

Those who are infected with the plague are already certain to die, and you did not kill them, but only isolated them, which is already the utmost righteousness, so why bother to work for them?!

The most important thing for us now is to find a way to prepare those who have not been infected with the plague to prevent the epidemic, so why bother to allocate manpower to take care of those who are going to die?! ”

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Li Zhi closed his eyes in pain and said, "Ben Hou didn't plan to save those people, but wanted them to test the medicine!"

Ben Hou wants to see if he can solve this plague at the root! ”

"Solve the plague at its roots?" After Jia Xu heard Li Zhi's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Does the lord have a way to cure those who are infected?" ”

After Li Zhi shook his head, he said: "Ben Hou has no way, but there are some things, how do you know if you don't succeed if you don't try?"

Therefore, Benhou wants you to instruct the healer to prescribe a prescription for all those who are infected.

And write down the dosage of the prescription and the herbs used.

If one person is lucky enough to recover, then the medicine he uses is a life-saving medicine and the nemesis of this plague!

At that time, the plague will not be to be feared! ”

"......" Jia Xu fell into silence after hearing Li Zhi's words.

He already understood what Li Zhi meant, Li Zhi wanted to use those who had already been infected as dead soldiers to test the medicine.

However, in this way, those infected by the test drug are likely to be wiped out!

Originally, one or two of these infected people who were physically strong might have resisted the plague and survived.

However, once they are fed some messy drugs, there is a good chance that they will die because of the drug conflict!

However, Li Zhi's method is indeed very likely to get a prescription to resist this plague!

Therefore, after Jia Xu hesitated for a while, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "The lord's method is good, since this is the case, then the subordinates will do it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu turned around and left without hesitation!

Now that there is a way to completely solve this plague, Jia Xu will not hesitate anymore!

For Jia Xu, compared to the nearly one million people in Luoyangcheng, a few thousand people are not enough at all!

Moreover, even if these infected patients are not fed, they will not survive a few.

Of the nearly 1,000 people who were infected with the plague, in the end, three or four of them survived to burn high incense!

Jia Xu felt that it was really worth exchanging the lives of three or four people for the lives of millions of people! That's why he's so decisive!

After Jia Xu left, Li Zhi slowly opened his eyes, and at this time, his eyes were already full of tears!

At this time, he regretted very much that he had agreed to use Jia Xu's plan!

If he hadn't agreed to use this scheme, he wouldn't have caused this plague!

Therefore, Li Zhi's heart was very tormented and uncomfortable!

Every time he died, he felt that he had a blood debt on his back!

Just when Li Zhi was uncomfortable, Guo Jia walked in quickly.

Seeing this, Li Zhi immediately wiped his tears without a trace, and asked Guo Jia, "Is there something important for Brother Xian to come here?" ”

A few days ago, after Guo Jia threw the medicinal materials for treating injuries and the paper with epidemic prevention regulations into Tongguan, he returned to Luoyang City and helped Jia Xu govern Luoyang City.

Therefore, Li Zhi knew that Guo Jia must have something important to discuss with him when he came here!

After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's inquiry, he nodded with a sad face and said, "Brother, the newly discovered infected person is only a few hundred meters away from here?"

As the person in charge of Luoyang City, my brother must not be infected with the plague!

Therefore, Jia felt that the brother should be evacuated to a safe place. ”

After Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's words, his face softened slightly.

When he first saw Guo Jia come in, he thought that Guo Jia also had some bad news to tell him!

Then, Li Zhi said to Guo Jia with a calm face: "Brother Xian, just put your heart in your stomach, it's just a plague, and you can't help it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi stretched out a hand, and a flash of thunder appeared on his hand.

......Seeing this, Guo Jia asked with a shocked face, "This power of thunder and lightning can even prevent the plague?!" ”

"Hehe......" After Li Zhi saw Guo Jia's stunned expression, he said with a smile: "Brother Xian is too underestimating the power of thunder and lightning, right?!"

Haven't you noticed that since your brother possessed the power of thunder, he has never been sick? ”

This is also a wonderful use of the power of thunder and lightning, since Li Zhi had the power of thunder, he found that he had never been sick!

Therefore, he believed that the power of thunder and lightning had the ability to prevent germs.

Think about it, his body cells are strengthened by the power of thunder and lightning, so they can withstand the power of thunder.

And the foreign bacteria have not been strengthened, once the power of thunder flows through Li Zhi's body, all the bacteria that do not belong to his body will be killed!

In this way, it is strange that he can get sick!

After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, he blinked and recalled the past.

With this memory, he suddenly discovered that things were really as Li Zhi said, Li Zhi had never been sick since he had the power of thunder and lightning!

Don't say that he is sick, Li Zhilian can heal quickly after suffering some minor injuries.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now after Li Zhi's reminder, Guo Jia immediately reacted.

Then, he looked at Li Zhi with envy on his face, he also wanted to have this ability!

After Li Zhi saw that Guo Jia had figured it out, he said with a smile: "Brother Xian, this plague is indeed not a brother, but it can make you die!"

So, you have to be careful not to be as ...... as you are now."

As he spoke, he pointed to Guo Jia, who was disheveled and unkempt, and admonished: "Brother Xian, you should know the health regulations issued for your brother, with the way you look now, it is easy to be arrested by the army!"

Moreover, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that you are so unhygienic now, it is easy to contract the plague!

So, listen to my brother's advice, go take a shower, get it cleaner, and then bring a few more masks and sprinkle more wine on the masks.

Also, don't leave your hands exposed, wrap them in strips of cloth and pour some spirits on them.

It's hard, but it's better than the plague! ”

After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, he pursed his lips and said, "Brother, don't worry, Jia is not a fool, Jia Ke values his own life very much!"

Jia wasn't what she was when she was outside.

When she was outside, Jia couldn't wait to cover her eyes and pour wine, how could she be so careless? ”

"That's fine" After Li Zhizhi heard Guo Jia's words, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Xian, remember, you can't be careless at any time!"

This plague is very terrible, the spread speed is very fast, once you are careless, you can be infected in an instant, and when the time comes, my brother will not be able to save you! ”

"Hmm" Guo Jia nodded and asked, "Brother, is there really no way for you to eliminate this plague?" ”

In Guo Jia's impression, Li Zhi has always been an omnipotent existence.

No matter what it is, in Li Zhi's hands, he can easily solve it.

Therefore, he hoped that Li Zhi could also solve the plague this time.

After Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's words, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Xian, although Brother Wei has some ability, he is not an immortal, and he can't solve everything.

Just like this time, if Brother Wei really has the ability to deal with the plague, how can he be so aggressive? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi shook his head with a wry smile, no longer talking about this topic, but asked about the things in the city: "Brother Xian, how are the people in the city now?" Is there any complaint or panic? ”

After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's question, he frowned, nodded, and said, "There are indeed a lot of rumors in the city.

Moreover, there are many people who take this opportunity to make waves.

Moreover, there are a few Taoist people who are even establishing their own cults and recruiting disciples, which seems to be a big attempt! ”

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia's eyes revealed a trace of killing intent!

If it weren't for Li Zhi's order not to make a move at this critical juncture, he would have cut down those cult leaders a long time ago

After Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's words, his eyes narrowed, and there was also a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

However, he knew that now was indeed not the time to make a move, so he reluctantly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Afterwards, he asked Guo Jia: "Do the people in the city have any complaints about being a brother?" ”

"This ......" Guo Jia heard this, and after glancing at Li Zhi, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.

Seeing this, Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't hide it, my brother is not so fragile, even if it is!" ”

After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, he nodded and said: "The people in the city are all spreading, because the elder brother has done too many evils, and God wants to punish the elder brother, so the plague will be sent when the elder brother takes over Luoyang!" ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia looked at Li Zhi cautiously, and after seeing that he was not angry, he continued: "Therefore, the people in the city think that as long as the elder brother is expelled from Luoyang, this plague will dissipate!" ”

"That's ......" Li Zhi didn't get angry when he heard Guo Jia's words, touched his chin and thought for a while, and asked, "Have you ever found out who is making waves behind it?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Brother, there is really no one behind those civilians this time.

The timing of this plague outbreak was too coincidental, as soon as my brother took over Luoyang City, within a few days, the plague broke out, so they thought so! ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's words, his face fell into silence with an ugly face.

Li Zhi knew that all this was his own doing!

If it weren't for the fact that he agreed to Jia Xu's plan, he would not have been in such an embarrassing situation now.

"Hu ......" The matter has come to this point, and it is not intentional to talk and think too much, so after Li Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, he cheered up and said to Guo Jia: "You go to the army now and choose some loyal and kind people."

Then some grain and cloth were spent from the government treasury and sent to the homes of the people in the city from house to house, so as to calm the emotions of the people in the city first. ”

After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's command, he frowned and asked, "Is this useful?" A little grain and cloth can really buy the people in the city? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded firmly, and said, "It's useful!" And very useful!

The people in the city are now panicking, as long as there is an official family to appease them at this time, they will have the backbone in their hearts!

When the time comes, they will definitely be divided into two factions, one faction will continue to complain about Ben Hou, and the other faction will firmly stand on Ben Hou's side.

At that time, the two factions will definitely quarrel, and in this way, the rumors will no longer be terrible!

That's right! And most importantly, when you go to reassure people, don't forget to identify yourself.

You let the world know that you are the brother-in-law of the hussar general, so the effect will be even better! ”

After Li Zhi said these words, he fell into deep thought.

He knew that the reason why the rumors were spreading among the people of the city now was because they were afraid that they would die if they were infected with the plague!

Therefore, if the brother of a hussar general appeared before them now, and shared with them through thick and thin, and gave them cloth and food, they would be grateful to Dade in their hearts, and they would no longer be so afraid.

Because, when they come, they will feel that since the righteous brother of the hussar general is not afraid, and has come to them personally, then what is there to fear from them?

Could it be that their lives are more precious than the lives of the hussar general's righteous brothers?!

After this idea was born, a large part of the common people would definitely no longer insult Li Zhi, but would be grateful to him and feel that he was a good official.

When the time comes, if someone dares to scold Li Zhi, they will definitely defend Li Zhi!

And once the two sides quarrel, the rumor is no longer a rumor, but an ordinary dispute!

And that's what Li Zhi wants!

He needs a reason, a reason to arrest people!

When necessary, for the sake of stability in the city, Li Zhi must arrest the most ferocious people who spread rumors!

And if you arrest them for no reason, I'm afraid it will cause even more panic!

However, once someone argues with those who spread rumors, or even fights, then Li Zhi can justifiably arrest all these people on the charge of disturbing order!

In this way, even if those who spread rumors are arrested, it will not cause even greater panic, killing two birds with one stone!

As for those who support Li Zhi......

It's okay to find a reason to let them go.

"In that case, then Jia will do it first."

Although Guo Jia felt that Li Zhi's approach was a bit excessive.

However, he still nodded kindly and went to do it.
