Chapter 368: The Source of the Plague

Xia Fu, who had been busy for most of the day, finally had a moment to rest and take a sip of tea. I saw the governor of Cangzhou, Min Xingji, running over in a hurry.

Seeing him running to the point where he was sweating profusely, Xia Fu handed over the tea in his hand and said warmly, "What's wrong?" Why are you so panicked? ”

grabbed the tea handed by Xia Fu, and after drinking it, it still didn't relieve. Min Xingji then leaned on the table and gasped, obviously because he ran too fast and didn't slow down.

"Xia Dada, something happened in Nanhe Village. There was an epidemic in the village, and someone died by the well for no reason. The symptoms seemed to be a plague. Min Xingji, who had finally recovered his strength, said in a deep voice.

"What do you say? How could there be an epidemic in Nanhe Village?" Hearing this, Xia Fu stood up suddenly, grabbed Min Xingji's collar and scolded angrily, "How did you act as the governor of Cangzhou." ”

Min Xingji, who was reprimanded by Xia Fu like this, didn't know how to explain to Xia Fu. Now Cangzhou has no thorn history, everything big and small, except for some particularly important needs for Ye Linchen to see, the rest is basically handled and approved by him, but it is really unexpected that this good thing in Nanhe Village will have an epidemic.

At the same time, Min Xingji also understands that since he is the governor of Cangzhou, history has always meant that if something happens, he will have to bear all the consequences, and now he only hopes to stop the epidemic in Nanhe Village. If things develop to the point where they are out of control, the village will be closed to ensure the safety of the rest of the people in Cangzhou.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his head, Min Xingji's tone was respectful, "Lord Xia, please rest assured, the humble post has sent troops to strictly guard everyone in Nanhe Village. ”

Regarding what Min Xingji just said, Xia Fu didn't fully listen to it. His mind is completely on the matter of Nanhe Village, and in his impression, Nanhe Village is the closest village to the Yongding River, and most of the people in Cangzhou live on the Yongding River.

Just now, Min Xingji said that the man in Nanhe Village said that he died by the well for no reason, and the well may still be connected to the underground river, and if the epidemic virus flows down the groundwater to the wells in the city, the consequences will be unpredictable and incalculable.

For a while, Xia Fu couldn't help but feel a headache, this matter was really tricky. After thinking about it for a while, Xia Fu decided to let Min Xingji go back to stabilize the situation and appease the people, at least not to let the people riot. Once the riot was in vain, all their efforts over the past few days were in vain, and they immediately went to the Assassin's Mansion to find those two people to discuss the matter together.

He hadn't gone far when he met two people who came side by side, and he didn't bother to come forward to salute. After making sure that there was no one around, Xia Fu dared to lower his voice and tell everything about the matter, and the matter was the same as Xie Yaoguang expected before. This Cangzhou city really died of starvation, resulting in epidemics.

It's a big disease, but it's very tricky, and it's easy for other people to get it. Thinking of this, Xia Fu felt anxious, and he didn't think that such a thing would happen. Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, he and Ye Linchen glanced at each other and nodded, agreeing to the decision to go to Nanhe Village together.

Huangfu Ling, who was in charge of guarding on the side, hurriedly summoned people to bring two fast horses. After helping Xie Yaoguang onto the horse, Ye Linchen also flew on the horse and galloped away with a whip. Although he still had a trace of distractions about Xie Yaoguang in his heart, in the current situation, he really couldn't be distracted, and he didn't want to think about that kind of charming thing.

Several people galloped on the official road. Xie Yaoguang couldn't help frowning as she looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, in the end, she had miscalculated. I thought that taking precautions could prevent the outbreak of the epidemic, but I never thought that I had miscalculated this step. I just hope that all this is not out of control, and there is still a place to maneuver.

It took them a full stick of incense to rush to Nanhe Village, and not long after Min Xingji arrived, he was patiently explaining the matter to the villagers of Nanhe Village in the crowd. But as he explained, the more opposition grew among the villagers. None of them wanted to stay in this place, in case they contracted a disease. k

A few people stepped forward and pushed the soldiers who were guarding, all of them looking fierce and vicious. Those soldiers were afraid that these people in front of them were unarmed civilians, and they did not dare to resist, so they could only let them kick and beat themselves. Seeing that they did not resist, many of the brave people began to take the rotten vegetables in their hands, and the stones were thrown on them, and even more excessively, they directly poured the gold juice on them.

Min Xingji, who was explaining in the crowd, was also affected, and his face was smashed several times.

Seeing this, Ye Linchen took a deep breath and stepped forward towards those fierce and vicious villagers. Looking around, Xie Yaoguang and Xia Fu also followed. Such a thing cannot be borne by Min Xingji alone in any case.

"Why are you here. These people are really bad, be careful to hurt you. Out of the corner of his eye, Min Xingji caught a glimpse of Ye Linchen and his party coming over, and opened his mouth in surprise.

"No problem." Frowning and sweeping his eyes, Xie Yaoguang moved to Ye Linchen's side, took a breath and said softly: "They only did such a thing because of emotional instability, so it doesn't matter." ”

Hearing this, Ye Linchen nodded in agreement and lowered his eyes, "Min Changshi has worked hard. You go and change into clean clothes first. ”

As soon as the words fell, Min Xingji hurriedly saluted and said goodbye as if he had been amnestied.

Looking at the back of Min Xingji's departure, Xia Fu frowned.

"Your Highness, do you want to let Weichen persuade them?" After thinking about it for a while, Xia Fu asked, "You can't let them mess around like this." ”

"Instead of letting Lord Xia go, let me go. At least I think I'm still very kind. With a deep smile, Xie Yaoguang didn't wait for Ye Linchen to nod in agreement, lifted his skirt to avoid the filth under his feet, and slowly walked towards the people.

The people who were originally making trouble suddenly stopped their movements in the crowd when they saw a kind-looking young woman walking in the crowd and stared intently at the comer. As for the soldiers who stopped at the door, seeing this, they also let out of the way, and after wiping the blood stains on their faces, they still stood not far behind Xie Yaoguang, so as not to be injured by these people.

As he spoke, Xie Yaoguang's voice was extremely gentle, "Guys, I have something to say to you. I don't know if you'd like to hear it. ”

"Tell me about it."

Someone in the crowd shouted.

"I know that you are anxious right now, and you want to go to a safe place from Nanhe Village." Xie Yao's eyebrows were gentle, but his tone was full of questioning, "But have you ever thought about what you should do with the other people outside Nanhe Village when you go out?"

There was an uproar in the crowd after the words stopped, and many people began to question why Xie Yaoguang kidnapped them like this. Isn't their life their life? What the hell is the purpose of trapping them in this place!
