Chapter 21 This county order can't be a fool, right?
"You bunch of rice buckets, waste ......"
Liu County's insulting voice has been floating in the county government for half a pillar of incense, he is really angry!
When Wang Tingshi only asked him to seal the city and did not give a solution, he knew that he was abandoned by Wang Tingshi, or the entire Linyang City was abandoned by him.
Wang Tingshi's purpose is very clear, not to seek no merit, but to seek no fault, to control the plague in Linyang City is meritorious, to abandon Linyang City, to abandon thousands of people is to have a fault, the merit is offset, the responsibility is not great, plus his background, it will not have much impact on his career.
But his Liu County Order is different, his life and death, and his career are closely related to Linyang City, so when he received the reply from Wang Tingshi, he went directly to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could send someone to deal with the plague, after all, the plague is not a trivial matter, it will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court, and it is only a matter of time before someone is sent down.
Originally, the situation was good, although the people had some complaints about the blockade of the city, but it was also under control, and it would be good to pacify and appease.
As long as he continues to stabilize the situation, control the plague and don't go out of Liujiafang, after dragging it out for ten days and half a month, and when the people from the court come down, he will be fine, no matter whether Dr. Xiao has studied a solution to the plague or not, no matter what will happen in the future, he can be regarded as a hero, at least his life and career have been saved, this is his second-hand preparation, and it is also his last method.
But I didn't calculate that there would be an accident at this juncture, someone in Liujiafang actually took advantage of the cover of the night before dawn to run out, although he was immediately arrested, but the plague leaked out, and it spread throughout the city in just one hour, basically everyone knew about it, and no one knew about it.
How many days has it been? It will take at least ten days for the people of the court to come down, and he hasn't even hidden half of the time, can he not be angry? And after that, it may be difficult to drag it out safely.
A few of the people in the hall who were sprayed with spittle lowered their eyebrows and didn't dare to speak, after all, it was their dereliction of duty.
"Liu Gong is angry, and the most important thing now is to find a way to stabilize the people's hearts, so as not to cause trouble for them." A middle-aged man with a goatee sitting on the right side of the hall said loudly, he was Yu Jin of Linyang County.
Liu Xianling scolded for so long, his mouth was dry, he took a sip of tea, looked at Yu Jin and said, "Have you thought of any good methods?" ”
"The lower officials are stupid and haven't thought of any way." Yu Jin shook his head.
Liu Xianling's eyes swept around the hall and asked, "What about you?" ”
Most of the people in the hall frowned and shook their heads silently, when a burly man in armor who was sitting first on the left stood up and said, "It is better to lift the blockade of Linyang City and release those people who have not been infected with the plague out of the city." ”
He was Xu Hu, the general who commanded the garrison of Linyang City.
The eyes of everyone in the hall lit up, and Yu Jin said slowly: "This is a good way, and it won't be a good way to let them out of the city." ”
"No," Liu Xianling shook his head and said, "How do you know who hasn't been infected with the plague?" You must know that the absence of the disease does not mean that you are not infected with the plague, even you and I may be infected with the plague. ”
"If the plague spreads to other states and counties, I'm afraid that ten heads of you and I will not be enough to cut off our heads."
As soon as everyone thought that this was the case, the hall became quiet again.
While everyone was pondering and meditating, an official messenger walked in, bowed and said, "Liu Gong, there is a warlock from the rivers and lakes who claims to be an immortal outside the Fangwai who asks to see him, saying that he can drive away evil spirits and eliminate demons and cure all diseases. ”
"Fang Wai Immortal? I think it's a liar who is not far away, and I blasted him away. Liu County Ling waved his hand, this time he was lucky, if he wasn't annoyed at this time, he would definitely arrest this charlatan and interrogate him well, and he deceived the government to deceive him, and his courage was really not ordinary.
Although he also has respect for ghosts and gods, he has read sage books for so many years, been an official for more than ten years, and has seen charlatans.
"Wait," Yu Jin's eyes lit up next to him, and he hurriedly stopped the official who was walking out.
Liu Xianling frowned and looked at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yu Xiancheng, do you believe the words of this charlatan?" ”
Yu Jin smiled mysteriously: "It doesn't matter if the officials believe it or not, the important thing is to make the people believe it." ”
These words made everyone in the hall look puzzled, and listening to his words, it seemed that he wanted this charlatan to deceive the people.
Xu Hu couldn't help it first, and said angrily: "What does Yu Xiancheng mean? Did you want him to deceive the people? ”
"General Xu, don't be anxious, and listen to me," Seeing that Xu Hu was already angry, Yu Jin didn't dare to play dumb riddles, these martial artists were anxious, if he misunderstood, it would not be worth beating him, and he said directly: "He said that it can cure all diseases, it doesn't hurt to let him see it, if he really has some ability, even if he can't cure it, it doesn't matter, let him do a law in the city and calm the people's hearts, it's also good." ”
Everyone in the hall glanced at each other, and they all showed joy.
"This method works." In the end, Liu County made a decision.
After breakfast, Chen Rui took Zhang Ning to Liujiafang, but the pedestrians he saw along the street were in a hurry, with anxiety and panic in their expressions, far less relaxed and calm than before.
This morning, I learned from the Fu family that the plague has spread all over the city, and it seems to be true.
Liujiaxiang was heavily guarded, and the eyes of the catcher were bigger than the copper bell, but they didn't let Chen Rui and them find a chance to sneak in, since the back was not good, they went to the front, but they didn't expect them to get closer, and before they could speak, the catchers drew their knives.
had to go back and explain loudly, but these fast catches of oil and salt did not enter, and let Chen Rui boast of himself to the sky, and 800 kilograms of cattle were blown in the sky, they were unmoved.
There is no way, they have already derelict their duties once, how dare they not be cautious?
Since this method doesn't work, then Chen Rui has no choice but to give up, and he can't get in! He's here to see if there's a chance to save people, not to beat people!
After thinking about it, let's go directly to the county office! The county magistrate must be in a hurry now, and it is possible that he is nodding his head and seeking medical treatment, so should he, the little miracle doctor, take a shelf?
I haven't gone far before I heard someone say: "Go to the county government quickly, Liu County Commander has invited the old fairy outside the party, and he is doing the practice of getting rid of ghosts and demons." ”
"It is said that this old immortal has profound mana, and he can see at a glance that the plague in Liujiafang is caused by ghosts and demons, as long as there is nothing but this ghost and demon, this plague will naturally be gone."
"Really?"
"Go and see if it's true."
……
Looking at the people who were still anxious, panicked, and even a little desperate just now, after hearing these words, they immediately showed joy, and their eyes also gave off a ray of hope, Chen Rui had a deeper understanding of the ancients' respect for ghosts and gods.
It's just that I didn't expect the county order to believe that he was an official, so why would he rather be deceived by charlatans than ask for a doctor? You can't be a fool, right?
