Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and saw hope again, he hurriedly inquired about the direction of Jiyang, and then hurriedly bid farewell to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao had just gotten up, and had not yet sobered up, when he heard that Zhang Wei was going to Jiyang to seek medical treatment, he hurriedly repaired a book in person, stamped it with the official seal, and handed it to Zhang Wei and said: "You hand over this letter to the Jiyang County Order, and he will help you when he sees the letter!" Niece and son-in-law be careful all the way, go and come back quickly! ”

Jiyang is in the northeast direction of Chenliu, Zhang Wei galloped all the way, and only caught up with the refugee team at noon, but the number of the team was obviously less than what I saw yesterday, and there were not a few corpses in the grass on the side of the road from time to time, I don't know whether they died of illness or starvation, but they were simply rolled up with a straw mat, and no one cared about it.

The queue of refugees was very long, with young and old supporting each other, and occasionally a few large families rode in horse-drawn carriages, but they were all moving slowly, and all of them kept their distance from each other as family units, as if they were afraid that the illness of others would be more serious and that they would be transmitted to their own families.

The rich families are fine, the sick have carriages to sit on, and there are servants to serve them, but the common people are not good, and the patients have to travel on their own, although the journey is not very far, but the physical exhaustion is very bad, and many infirm people have died on the way to seek medical treatment. Some old people were infected with the plague and didn't want to drag down their families, so they walked with the team, and then just found a clean place and just lay down and died.

Zhang Wei saw a lot of life and death partings along the way, some family members were reluctant to give up, crying bitterly, some family members secretly wept and hurried strongly, but most of them were already numb, as long as they lived, they would continue to rush and try to live.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Zhang Wei arrived in Waihuang County, which was only thirty or fifty miles away from Jiyang, and he planned to stay here for the night, by the way, to inquire about the news of Jiyang's miracle doctor, and set off early tomorrow morning.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, Waihuang County was only allowed to go out, not to enter, and many refugees were driven out by soldiers armed with spears as soon as they walked to the city gate.

At this time, a group of chariots and horses slowly drove to the city gate, and the horses pulling the carts were all white horses, without a trace of miscellaneous hair on their bodies, which was very eye-catching, and a thin butler came down from the car, and he arched his hand to the little colonel guarding the door, and began to talk.

Zhang Wei dismounted and mixed into the refugees, squeezed towards the city gate, listened attentively, and only heard the housekeeper's voice a little shrill and said: "It's my young lady in the car, and I'm here to visit relatives, not a patient!" The young lady learned that the soldiers were working hard to guard the city day and night, so she specially ordered the villain to offer three hundred taels of silver, and invited the officials to have a drink in their spare time, relax and relax, and also ask the officials to make it convenient! ”

He was far away and spoke in a loud voice, but fortunately, Zhang Wei had cultivated Neidan at this time, and his body senses were far beyond ordinary people, so he could hear clearly in the chaotic and noisy crowd.

The little colonel headed by him stretched his neck and looked at the carriage for a while, then looked the housekeeper up and down, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "Your young lady is also a sensible person, but the matter of eating and drinking is small, if the county magistrate finds out, my official position will not be guaranteed!" What's more, if you really let in the people who are sick with the epidemic, then the people in the county will suffer! How dare I take such a risk? This is absolutely impossible! ”

Zhang Weixin said: "This little school is also loyal to his duties, and he doesn't even want three hundred taels of silver!" But it's also rare! ”

The butler smiled and beckoned, and two of the housekeepers came up with a large gold-inlaid mahogany box, not to mention how much gold, silver, and jewelry it contained, and this box alone was worth a lot of money.

The little colonel opened a small crack in the box, and he didn't know what he saw, but he was so shocked that his eyes straightened, and he was afraid that the treasures contained in it would make him unable to earn one-twelfth of a dozen as an official in several lifetimes.

The housekeeper seemed to have expected the little school's reaction, and said with a smile: "My young lady is originally from Waihuang County, and she has had a relationship with the soldier before, and she has been favored, so she ordered the villain to return this box to the official!" I hope that the soldier will not shirk! ”

Zhang Weixin said: "This housekeeper is very sophisticated, at first glance, he is a person who often deals with official eunuchs, not only thoughtful, but also able to take care of the other party, I am afraid that this small school will be difficult to refuse!" ”

Sure enough, the little colonel smiled knowingly, ordered his cronies to accept the box, and then said loudly: "Although you have just left the city and turned back, you should not be let into the city according to the regulations, but if none of you are infected with the disease and it is the first offense, let you go, and you will not be an example!" ”

The housekeeper thanked him for escorting the convoy into the county seat.

Zhang Wei looked down at himself, he walked in a hurry when he went out and didn't bring much coils, how could he succeed in bribing with those few taels of silver on his body? It's strange if you find out your identity and don't be laughed to death by them, Taishou's niece and son-in-law, this relationship is too far away! Remembering that Lu Bu had been blocked in front of Chen Liumen before, it was more reliable for Xindao to break in, he looked at the city wall that was only two or three zhang high, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There were not many guards in Waihuang County, and the refugees gathered outside the city, so the main forces were arranged at the city gate, and there were only a few sparse figures on the city wall.

Because Waihuang County is the closest county seat to Jiyang, there are often sick people passing through here, although the county order has ordered martial law, but still every household is in danger, no one dares to go out easily, and strangers are also walking around, and the street is deserted.

On the contrary, the business of the inn is in full swing, many large families who come to Jiyang to seek medical treatment either use money, or use relationships, there is always a way to mix into the county, because they are generous, and soon the accommodation fee of the inn is speculated to a sky-high price, although the average person can not afford to live, but for those wealthy families, the price is still "fair".

"Go and go, don't come to the hotel if you don't have money, if you don't leave, I will report to the government and arrest you!" When the innkeeper saw Zhang Wei coming alone, he knew that he had no family background, so he couldn't help but issue an eviction order.

"The shopkeeper is slow, I don't live in the store, but it's always okay to ask you about something!" Zhang Wei saw that this person was so powerful, so he had no choice but to give in - he was not a robber, and he could not solve everything by force.

The shopkeeper was willing to ignore Zhang Wei, and while pushing him out, he said: "I don't know, I don't know anything, I have to inquire and inquire elsewhere, this is an inn, not for you to inquire about things!" ”

Zhang Wei was about to speak, but he was pushed by the shopkeeper and fell from his waist, which was the jade pendant that Zhao Yudan gave him when he was leaving.

When the shopkeeper saw the jade pendant, he couldn't help but change his face, he pointed to the jade pendant and said in a trembling voice: "Can you show me this jade pendant?" Where did you get that from? There was a lot more politeness in his words.

Zhang Wei saw that things were slowing down, so he held the jade pendant in his hand, shook it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "This is the ...... given to me by a friend of mine."

The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed for a while, and then he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The villain has no eyes, and I hope that the son will forgive me, and the villain Zhao Qi will meet the son...... No, meet the owner! ”
