Chapter 123: Don't Take Us Away
A large number of displaced people suddenly poured into the city of Huizhou, which caused the people in the city to fall into a panic.
When Zhao Xuanling learned of the news that the displaced people had been put into the city, he was in Ziyang County to check on the repair of the dam.
"This idiot!" Zhao Xuanling scolded angrily.
"Lord Wang, now the displaced people know that Huizhou City has accepted them, and they have all gone to Huizhou City."
"Send people back to guard the city gates at once, and don't let any of the displaced people go in before they go in, find a vacant place and place them in, and don't let them make trouble in the city."
"Yes."
Although Zhao Xuanling ordered the city gates to be closed again, the homeless people in the city were everywhere.
Huizhou City is no longer calm and peaceful, the imperial court's disaster relief grain has not yet arrived, Zhao Hanjun ordered the rich merchant family in the city to take out rice grain to relieve the displaced people, at the beginning there was no big movement, but it didn't take long for the rich merchants and the family to take out less and less rice grain, and the displaced people began to be restless.
"What are you doing, grabbing food, grabbing food!"
"Grab the silver, grab the silver!"
There were incidents of smashing and looting of displaced people everywhere in the shops in the city, and even if officers and soldiers went to suppress them, it was difficult to suppress the large number of displaced people.
"Your Highness, what do you say about this, now the city is in chaos!" Zhou Yangqing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, if this matter came out, if the emperor knew about it, could he blame himself for his own son? It's not like they can't talk about it!
Zhou Yangqing was so anxious that he was about to cry, but Zhao Hanjun didn't care. "Send people to arrest all the people who took the lead in smashing and making trouble, and beat 100 boards in front of all the displaced people to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and see who dares to make trouble."
When Zhou Yangqing heard this, he could only do this first, at this time he desperately hoped that the royal king would come back soon, compared to the imperial king, the third prince was really ...... Not enough to see!
Lin Mumu walked down the street with a large bag of medicinal herbs in his hand, looking at the homeless people who were making trouble with big sticks not far away, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
If you want to set an example, even if these people will be more restrained in a short period of time, if the relief food of the imperial court does not come down, they will starve to death if they wait, and these people will definitely resist more fiercely than now.
I don't know if Zhao Hanjun's brain was kicked by a donkey, and he dared to put so many homeless people into the city.
Zhao Xuanling returned to Huizhou City two days later.
"Uncle Wang is back, and the embankment has been repaired?"
"Yes."
Zhao Xuanling glanced at Zhou Yangqing. "How many outcasts are there in the city now?"
"Back to the prince, nearly 10,000 displaced people."
"When will the relief food from the imperial court arrive?"
"It's going to take another five days." Zhao Hanjun said coldly, very dissatisfied with Zhao Xuanling's lack of vision for him.
"Send people to guard the places where the homeless people stay, and you can't let them leave."
"Yes."
"Uncle Wang, I have already asked people to punish those homeless people who make trouble, forgive them for not daring to mess around again." After Zhou Yangqing left, Zhao Hanjun said indifferently, he felt that Zhao Xuanling was too serious to make a fuss, and it was better to focus more on other things.
Zhao Xuanling picked up the teacup and expressed with his actions that he didn't want to talk to the mentally retarded.
Zhao Hanjun never thought that the matter of releasing the exiles into the city would bring him a huge trouble......
……
After Zhao Xuanling sent officers and soldiers to guard the displaced people in the vacant houses in the city, the incidents of smashing and looting in the city gradually subsided.
"Official, Official, another person from us has died, you can carry him out quickly!"
A woman with a withered face ran to the door of the house
Shouted as he banged on the door.
The officers and soldiers guarding the house opened the door. "Dead again?"
"Yes, the official should go and carry the corpse away!"
The two officers and soldiers looked at each other, followed the woman into the house, and came to a room, and all the people in the house ran out.
"Official, people are inside."
When the officers and soldiers entered the house, they saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, already out of breath, his neck was still swollen and high, and he looked a little deformed.
"Carry the person out first."
"Yes."
The two found a broken mat, wrapped the person up, carried it out, and let people pull it to the bottom of the mountain outside the city and bury it.
"This is the third person in the house we are guarding in the past two days, what are you talking about, do you want to report it?"
"Don't worry, I'll go to another house and ask what's going on over there."
"Yes."
As soon as the officer and soldier went to another house and asked, good fellow, there were more people dead in other places than in him, and they did not dare to delay any longer, so they immediately reported to the top.
"Dozens of people died in just two days? Didn't you ask the doctor to check what was going on? "Even if the relief food from the imperial court has not yet arrived, Zhao Xuanling ordered the granary of Huizhou City to be opened, and two meals of porridge a day will not starve to death.
"Back to the adult, the little one has already sent someone to find the doctor to see when he came."
"Well, as soon as there is a result, I will immediately return to the official of the house."
"Yes."
"My lord, my lord is not good, there is a plague, there is a plague!"
"What!?" Zhou Yangqing's legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lin Mumu and the others received the news.
"The plague? Are you sure it's the plague?! ”
"Yes, Doctor Fang, what can I do, the plague is a terminal disease, who can cure it, our group of medical officers who came with us will definitely go to the epidemic area, this, what's the matter!"
The medical officers who got the news were all saddened, and the plague was a terrifying terminal disease in this era.
"When will it pass?" Compared with other medical officers, Lin Mumu seemed much calmer.
After Lin Mumu spoke, Deputy Medical Officer Li's eyes slowly fell on her, since Mrs. Feng's incident, she secretly inquired about her, knowing that she had underestimated Lin Mumu before, and her medical skills were definitely above her.
"Doctor Lin has a way to cure the plague, but when he was in Xijing, he heard that Doctor Lin was a person who could cure smallpox."
Lin Mumu glanced at her indifferently. "Deputy Medical Officer Li really looks up to me, no matter whether it can be cured or not, we will see the patient in the end." As she spoke, she turned around and went back to the house to get the medicine, and when she was about to carry the medicine box, she was preemptively carried by Wang Ru.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
The accompanying physicians also got into the carriage.
The number of displaced people was too large and they were also scattered, Lin Mumu and they could only go to different houses separately to check the situation, Deputy Medical Officer Li offered to be with Lin Mumu as a group, and the two went to the displaced area placed in the broken temple in the east of the city.
"These two are Medical Officer Lin and Deputy Medical Officer Li of the Women's Medical Department." As soon as they got out of the carriage, the officers and soldiers driving the car introduced themselves to the officers and soldiers on guard.
"Lord Lin, Lord Li."
"I'm going to look at the bodies of the dead patients first." Lin Mumu said. "Deputy Doctor Li is at his own convenience."
"Since Xia Guan is here with Lord Lin, he naturally wants to be with Lord Lin."
Lin Mumu didn't care about him, took out his protective clothing and put it on, put on a thick mask and gloves, and followed the officers and soldiers to the place where the corpses were parked.
Because
The ruined temple is located in the middle of nowhere, and behind it is the foot of a mountain, and the body is temporarily placed in a dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain.
"Two adults, the corpse is inside." The officers and men stopped when they walked outside the door.
Lin Mumu pushed open the door and walked in, Deputy Medical Officer Li who followed behind was a little hesitant, she didn't expect Lin Mumu to be so well prepared, she knew the terrible hesitation of the plague After hesitating again and again, she still waited outside the door.
Wang Ru also put on protective clothing and followed Lin Mumu closely.
There were three bodies in the room, two of the young men and one of the little girls.
Lin Mumu came to the little girl and squatted down, looked at her neck that was as swollen as her head, and pinched her mouth to check her tongue.
"Swollen lymph nodes, yellow lichen...... It's bubonic plague. ”
Lord Lin said...... Line, plague? "Is the plague still divided into needles?
Lin Mumu shook his head, and came to the corpse of a young man again, his corpse showed similar signs to the little girl's, except that his neck was swollen higher, and it looked a little deformed.
When he came to the third person, as soon as he squatted down, he heard Wang Ru's retching sound behind him.
"If you can't stand it, go out first."
Wang Ruo's face turned white, gritted his teeth and shook his head. "Xia Guan is fine."
The body of the third young man was covered with pus-filled herpes, some of which had burst and had faintly yellowish pus and blood coming out.
"Septicaemic plague, let's get out first."
"Yes."
"Gather all the people with low and high fever in the broken temple in one place, let them not hide it, the doctor will definitely try to heal them, and then let people go to see if there are any empty courtyards nearby, and send those who are not infected over" Lin Mumu said to the officers and soldiers who led the way, the plague is an extremely virulent infectious disease, and those who are sick must be strictly isolated.
"Yes."
The officers and soldiers got the order and entered the broken temple, according to Lin Mumu's words, but what they didn't expect was that no one stood up.
"My lord, what should I do if those people don't dare to admit it?"
"I'll go in and say."
Lin Mumu walked into the broken temple, there were at least more than 500 homeless people in a small broken temple, and when he saw Lin Mumu coming in, his eyes were full of fear.
Lin Mumu understood their fears very well, and on the way here, she happened to ask Zhao Xuanling how to deal with those who had the epidemic, and Zhao Xuanling's answer was very simple, even a little cold.
Kill, burn, bury.
Because there is no cure, they have to do it in order to save more lives, so the displaced people know what it means to stand up.
"Go and move a table, let everyone check my pulse in turn, and take the people who are okay to another place, and stay here if they are already sick."
"Yes."
After the tables and chairs were moved, Lin Mumu sat on the chairs and checked the pulses of the homeless people inside one by one.
A thorough examination determined that 30 people had been infected with the plague, and 20 were likely to be in the incubation period of the disease.
The patient is determined, and the next step is treatment.
"Have you found anyone who is sick?"
"Hui adults have found out."
"Well, pass on the order of the third prince to send all the sick people out of the city."
Lin Mumu was about to inquire about the patient's situation one by one in detail, when he heard a sound of talking from outside the broken temple.
After a while, the door of the ruined temple was opened, and a pair of officers and soldiers with cloth bandages over their faces walked in and surrounded the sick.
"Tie them up and take them away."
