Chapter 1 Blocking is better than sparse
Looking at the more than 1,000 people gathered outside the city, Du He laughed and said, "Everyone, let's disperse, this assembly can't be held, and it's in vain to continue to stay here." ”
Hearing this, more than a thousand people looked at each other, and they all looked at Du He strangely.
Du He said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that there is an epidemic in the city." ”
He said it lightly, as if to say a trivial matter.
When more than 1,000 people heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, all of them showing panicked looks.
The ancients regarded the plague as a flood of beasts, and when they heard this, some people immediately began to flee.
Su Dingfang changed color when she heard this, and gave Du He a look again and again, anxious in her heart, but she couldn't speak, and said in her heart: "Brother Du seems to be careful, why is this speech so unmeasured." ”
Du He still said disapprerovantly: "What are you afraid of, isn't it just that a few people are infected with the epidemic?" I can tell you very clearly, there's nothing to worry about. It's just a few people, and it's already under control. Divine doctor Sun Simiao was on the way here, and there would be no harm at all. It's just that the epidemic is contagious, so be careful. Look at ......" he pointed to the army behind him and said: "In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, I specially brought 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Suzhou, and the city gate will not be opened until the epidemic is completely resolved." Rest assured, therefore, that the plague will not come out of this gate. ”
"Originally, even if a few people were sick, there was no need to lock down the entire city. But for the sake of safety, it is still necessary to wait for Dr. Sun to confirm before releasing the person. After all, it's better to prevent it than to let danger threaten you, right? ”
Seeing Du He's indifferent expression, more than 1,000 people were unexpectedly relieved in their hearts, and they all thought: "There must be no big situation, otherwise how could this adult be so relaxed?" ”
Du He smiled slightly, beckoned easily, and said, "Okay, I won't tell you, you can go home with peace of mind!" I'm going to enter the city, and I'm going to be in the city until the plague is completely resolved. He rode forward leisurely, opened the gates, and went into the city with the others.
Looking at Du He's figure, there was a discussion in the crowd.
"Who is this adult, so young, probably less than twenty years old, right?" After revealing his identity, Du He had already washed off his disguise, and at this moment he was his original face, a handsome young man of eighteen years old.
"Then you are lonely, this is the famous Du He, General Du. His father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he himself is a popular person in front of His Majesty today, which is amazing. ”
"Cut, aren't you just relying on your father's son?"
"It's really right to say that you are lonely and unheard, General Du is a veritable famous general in a hundred battles, don't look at his young age, and his military exploits are called Biao Bing. Not long ago, a country called Gaochang in the Western Regions attacked our Tang Dynasty's merchants, and His Majesty sent General Du to battle in a fit of rage. Guess what, General Du only used 5,000 men to destroy Gaochang and defeat the 100,000-strong army of the Eastern Turks, but it was majestic. ”
Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the news has deteriorated here.
Some of the upper class can still hear the truth, but in the common people, most of what they hear is rumors that have been processed countless times.
Hearing Du He's majesty, the people sighed again and again.
One person said, "If General Du is so good, why are you willing to take this risk?" It's an epidemic, and I feel terrified when I think about it. ”
"Hey, didn't you look at General Du's appearance, does that look like something serious? I think it's just a small problem, and there is no danger at all. Otherwise, where could General Du be so relaxed, we think seriously! Yes...... Anyway, the meeting won't be held, so I'll go home early, and maybe I'll be able to eat the hot rice and hot dishes cooked by Uchiko. He said as he prepared his things in a hurry.
The others agreed after hearing this, and they didn't care, prepared their things, and planned to go home early.
Since the matter is not serious, since Du He is helping them to guard and prevent the spread of the epidemic, what is there to worry about?
The people said goodbye to each other, and there was no turmoil in people's hearts because of the plague, but they looked like no one cared about it.
When Du He entered the city, Su Dingfang, who was originally anxious, saw the reaction of the people behind him, and suddenly realized, gave Du He a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "I thought that Brother Du was not important, but it turned out to be premeditated and planned properly!" ”
Du He smiled slightly: "It's better to be blocked than to be sparse, everything is like this." People have curiosity, if we hide it in a thousand ways today, the spread of the matter will surely attract the attention of others exponentially, but once the news leaks out at this time, the world will feel that something is not good, and will feel that the situation is very serious, so that they will be frightened, panicked, and rumors will spread. On the contrary, confessing everything is the best way to suppress rumors. Now these people will be our propagandists, and they will bring the situation here to all parts of Jiangnan. It has the effect of settling the hearts of the people, killing two birds with one stone. However, if we take this situation in the short term, it will still attract attention and cause problems after a long time. All of this has to rely on Dr. Sun's thaumaturgy to return to heaven. ”
Du He came to the palace.
A group of people gathered in the palace, and they were passionate, noisy and shouting, and surrounded the government office tightly, without leakage.
Their noise could be heard from afar.
A middle-aged man in his forties was surrounded by a group of people in the middle, with a helpless face.
"My lord, now the city is full of epidemics, if you don't leave, you can't stay and die!" A fat man with a strong body and a gorgeous costume, with a pale face, shouted loudly regardless of his manners.
Another Confucian scholar who is over the age of ten years said: "Zi said: 'Prevention of disaster is the first and not the subsequent injury.'" Knowing and acting cautiously, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he can ignore it. 'Now that the plague is rampant, is it not the way of a gentleman to stay in the city?' Why should Lord Thorn Shi be so stubborn. ”
…… A group of people, without exception, were asking Wang Guanghong, the assassin of Suzhou, to open the city gate and let them go. Because the officials were also infected with the epidemic, Wang Guanghong had no one to use, and was surrounded by the big families and families in the city, and even had the intention of persecution.
Du He was furious when he saw it, no wonder he couldn't see any measures after entering the city, it turned out that this group of Wang Balamb, who had not been infected by the plague, was gathering a crowd to make trouble.
"What do you do? Want to rebel? ”
Du He led the soldiers and horses into the palace.
When the group saw that Du He was followed by more than 100 soldiers, they did not dare to be presumptuous, and their arrogance disappeared immediately.
The Confucian scholar who was over the age of ten stepped forward and said: "The adult came just in time, Gu is the head of the Gu family in Jiangnan, and the son is ......."
As soon as Du He heard him open his mouth, his head felt big, and he was talking to this kind of old guy, and he was really worried that his eloquence was too sharp, and he accidentally became Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he said that he was dead, and immediately intercepted: "Zi said: 'Old and not dead is a thief', a lot of age, not good for the rest of the people, actually gathered to make trouble?" ”
With a wave of his hand, he didn't say much to them at all, and directly ordered: "Come on, put me in prison for this group of bastards who gather to make trouble." ”
Su Dingfang smiled hideously, as a military general with an upright surname, there is no businessman who does not hate verbosity, and when he first saw them surrounding the local assassin history in the middle of routine persecution, he had anger in his heart, but Duhe is the biggest here, and it is not good to act as a substitute, so he can only secretly hate it. Listening to Du He's decisive actions, he had a big chunk in his heart, and personally led his guards to arrest people.
"Bold! You...... Who are you to dare to be rude to my grandfather! My father is a counselor in the capital...... You dare to be presumptuous! On the side of the head of the Gu family, a young man under the age of twenty said proudly, as if in his eyes the admonition official was a very big official.
Du He was happy, and said in his heart: "The master's father-in-law is the emperor, Lao Tzu is the prime minister, a little counselor, and he also came to set up a score?" "In the remote place south of the Yangtze River, a Beijing official is extremely rare, and it is very rare to advise an official. But in Chang'an, this king, that duke, and the little counselor can't be ranked at all! Immediately smiled: "I'll show you presumptuous now, and see how you can bear me...... General Su, this kid relied on his father's strength to prevent me from doing a big thing, and took him down and beat him on the spot for twenty as a warning. ”
Du He knew that if he wanted to deal with the epidemic with peace of mind, he must first shock these people who were not infected with the epidemic, so that they could keep to themselves and not come to mess with him, so he had already had the intention of killing chickens and monkeys, and the young man of the Gu family happened to commit it in his hands.
Su Dingfang is extremely strict with soldiers, and he is familiar with the criminal law of military staff.
In silence, the young man of the Gu family was pressed down and scolded by the cane, only to hear a burst of "plop", "pounce" and the young man's heart-rending screams.
Such a method immediately shocked everyone in the palace. The head of the Gu family and his beloved grandson were beaten, and shouted angrily: "Who are you, dare to abuse lynching, the old man must sue you, and the old man will not spare you." ”
Du He smiled slightly and said: "My name is Du He, Jiangnan Patrol Envoy, I want to sue me, please!" "If the head of the Gu family is younger, based on his previous words, a military staff is indispensable, but he is seventy years old, which is the age when one foot stepped into the coffin, and Du He is not good at dealing with it, just let him be casual.
The head of the Gu family had a bloodless face, and when he heard the name of Du He, how dare he speak.
Even in the capital and Chang'an, there are few people who can shout in front of Du He, let alone Jiangnan.
All the troublemakers put Du He in prison.
As soon as Wang Guanghong's siege was lifted, he immediately stepped forward to meet him and suggested: "Everyone is dead, and it is normal for people to be afraid of epidemic pathology, so why should adults embarrass them." ”
Du He snorted and said, "You are kind...... Rest assured, this group of people is a donkey, a cow, if they don't smoke a lot, they don't beat a dozen, they are restless. Just teach them a lesson. It is still the matter of the epidemic, and I have a few views on the prevention of the epidemic, which should be implemented immediately. ”
