Chapter XVIII: The Plague
Liujiafang, in the west of Linyang City, is fully armed and full of serious faces to catch fast like a door god at the mouth of each alley, prohibiting pedestrians from entering and exiting, for two days in a row, and I don't say what the reason is.
Occasionally, people outside the square came forward to inquire with curiosity, but the arrester was only perfunctory on the pretext of official business and drove them away.
A fast horse galloped past the city, and passers-by dodged one after another, looking at the dust raised in the ground, and couldn't help but let out an insulting sound.
Ordinary people in the city were to be punished with a rod, but only officials with urgent official duties could.
The county magistrate, Liu County, who was on the desk to deal with official documents, raised his head, rubbed his sour eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he thought of Liujiafang's matter!
"Liu Gong, Assassin Shi replied." At this time, an official with an official document in his hand walked in, saluted and said.
Liu Xianling was shocked when he heard this, and said with some excitement: "Quick, give it to me." ”
The official respectfully presented the official document and stepped aside.
Liu Xianling couldn't wait to open the official document, but there were only two words on the document, and when he saw it clearly, his excited expression instantly collapsed, and he muttered a little distractedly: "Seal the city ......"
Linyang City is a big city with a population of tens of thousands, not the small Liujiafang, which can be sealed if it is sealed.
It's easy to close the city, just transfer the garrison, Linyang City is not the same as an ordinary county seat, it used to be an important town, in order to guard against Jingguo, there are tens of thousands of garrisons, although there is no need now, but there are also two thousand garrisons, and two thousand garrisons can still easily do it to block a Linyang City.
But the difficult thing is how to appease the people, can it be directly said that there is a plague in Linyang City? What if it causes panic and riots? You must know that the closure of the city not only has the intention of preventing the plague from spreading to other places and protecting the people in other places, but it also has the intention of abandoning the people in the city! Who is willing to die?
It's okay for a day or two, but if it takes a long time, more people are infected, and the shadow of death is shrouded, and the people who are afraid and anxious must not go crazy? The consequences will be dire.
That's right, Liujiafang found the epidemic, since yesterday, many people in the workshop have had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, because the number of people who are sick is too much, Liu County Ling attaches great importance to it and goes to check it in person.
And the doctor who went to diagnose and treat was helpless, and the number of sick people was so large, so Liu Xianling realized that this matter was not simple, I was afraid that it was a plague, and even if he blocked Liujiafang, he reported the situation to Wang Tingshi.
Unexpectedly, Wang Tingshi only replied with two words of understatement, and he didn't say a solution.
If it was just a plague outbreak in Lin'an City, he would be fine, and at most he would be dismissed, but with his backstage, it would not be difficult to reuse; And if you are not careful, you may face a catastrophe.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Xianling sighed helplessly and ordered: "Go to the garrison to transfer troops and seal the city." ”
Yun Mengqin's meaning is very clear, whatever it is called, but please don't disturb me.
Liu Chenghe was very aggrieved, thinking that when had he been treated like this by the son of a dignified county magistrate? It's like being treated like a fly, but the person who treats him as a fly is still her beloved.
"It's all him, it's all because of this little white face that Mengqin treats me like this." Liu Chenghe attributed all the faults to Chen Rui, who didn't say a word, and left him with a look that he would not give up, flicked his sleeves, and strode away, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he stayed here, and he would lose his demeanor.
But what he didn't know was that in Yun Mengqin's eyes, he had no grace at all.
Chen Rui was a little speechless, who did he recruit to provoke whom? What was said? What was done? How can you offend a person whose status doesn't seem to be low, is it wrong to be handsome?
I knew it would be better to beat him up, but the officials wouldn't be able to catch me anyway, and if I have kung fu, I have to be willful.
Yun Mengqin also saw Liu Chenghe's meaningful eyes when he left, and looked at Chen Rui slightly apologetically and said: "Mengqin seems to have caused trouble to Gongzi, in order to apologize, Mengqin is willing to set up a thin banquet to accompany Gongzi, and I hope that Gongzi will appreciate his face." ”
"It's a little troublesome, it's not enough to worry about, girls don't have to be like this." Chen Rui smiled lightly.
"Childe blames Mengqin for refusing to appreciate his face?" Yun Mengqin is also a tough person and did not give up because of Chen Rui's refusal.
Chen Rui pretended to be very sorry and sighed: "The girl misunderstood, this is not the girl's intention, how can I blame?" The girl is gracious, I shouldn't have refused, but there is really something important today, and I can only live up to the girl's good intentions. ”
"It's okay to choose a day!"
……
Chen Rui couldn't find the words to refuse for a while, and smiled: "Then let's choose a day!" ”
Anyway, "choose a day" and "which day" and "another day" mean the same thing, and she doesn't know where I live.
"Where does the boy live?"
……
I didn't expect that I would be soaked by others one day, which also made Chen Rui realize that he was not useless, he was still handsome!
It's a pity that it's not the time, otherwise I wouldn't mind talking to this girl, although she is not so beautiful.
Of course, this is just that he thinks that he doesn't know how much the sons around him envy him, and if this matter spreads, how much jealousy and resentment Linyang City will have.
After all, Yun Mengqin is also a well-known beauty in Linyang City, and she has a personality, who doesn't like it?
In the end, Chen Rui still asked Fu'an to give her the address of his house, anyway, he had no place to live in Lin'an City, so he naturally lived in Fu'an's house, and he could leave at any time.
A few people left the perfume shop and went straight to Fu'an's house in the east of the city, his mansion is not small, it can be regarded as a wealthy family.
The servants were surprised when they saw that the master had brought back two young sons, and there was such a good-looking son, and the maid's eyes were shining, revealing a wolf-like light.
Walking into the main hall, Fu'an's ladies greeted him, Fu'an went out to Mingyang City to discuss business this time, it would be a few days away, and he came back so quickly, which made Fu'an's ladies shocked.
Huan Fei Yan is thin, some are old and some are young, and I can't tell that this man who looks a little similar to a pig is still a merry man. But so many women are enough for him, no, as soon as he comes back, they will come to compete for favor.
After seeing the ceremony, after serving tea, before they could say a few words of greeting, they surrounded Fu'an up and down, seemingly gentle and virtuous, but every word was full of thorns, jealousy, praise and irony.
However, the woman at the end made Chen Rui's eyes shine, not how beautiful she was, but that she looked a little special, with a delicate figure, fair skin like jade, a pair of seductive Danfeng eyes, flashing with charming light, revealing an indescribable charm between a smile and a smile, which made people can't help but indulge in it.
After Fu'an comforted his women, Chen Rui pulled Fu'an aside, glanced at the woman who was standing quietly aside, and did not step forward to compete for favor, the woman who made his eyes light up whispered: "Old Fu! Yanfu is not shallow! Where are you looking for a concubine? Enough water. ”
Fu'an said angrily: "This is my daughter Fu Yueyue, where did you come from?" ”
He also thinks that she is not his daughter, okay!
"Impossible! That's it...... Can you give birth to such a beautiful daughter? Chen Rui was shocked, his face couldn't believe it, and the word "pig's head" almost blurted out.
Fu'an stopped doing it, and the spittle stars flew sideways: "What's impossible?" Why can't I have such a beautiful daughter? When Xiao Lao'er was young, he was also in the wind of Yushu, and his appearance was better than Pan An. ”
People who can pick up girls and can pick girls really have a kind of self-confidence, they are thick-skinned, the jade tree is in the wind, and they look better than Pan An? tui! Sorry for what he said.
"That old blessing! Does what you say count? Chen Rui said with a smile that all men understand.
"Who is my old blessing? Of course, what is said counts. Fu'an glanced at him dissatisfied, how could he casually doubt his character?
"Then you said that... What the... That one for me, hehe! ”
"It's a good day and it's good for wine, sooner rather than later, let's not waste this great time, let's get started!"
