Chapter 018: The Holy Maiden of Troubled Times (17) Killed

The prince sneered at Zhao Xinglan along the way, but unfortunately the latter didn't care, and responded with gags every time, making the prince feel like a fist on cotton.

After many times, Bolan could see that the prince was quite jealous of Zhao Xinglan's handsome appearance. However, she was too lazy to participate, and only looked forward to arriving in Ning County soon.

Although the prince was a little naΓ―ve in some aspects, he explained to Bolan many times how he would comfort the affected people in Ning County in the future.

Whenever this happens, Zhao Xinglan always looks indifferent and indifferent.

But I don't know if it's Bolan's illusion, she feels that Zhao Xinglan is not as calm as he seems, on the contrary, he seems to be worried about something. Even though he disguised it well, Bolan could feel it.

This is the same as the emotion in the bottom of my heart that cannot be faded, which makes Bolan a little confused.

In this way, more than ten days have passed, and Ning County is already in sight.

The prefectural magistrate waited for the local officials, and the head of the household who arrived first was already waiting outside the city gate to greet him.

However, although these officials wore official hats, they all wore white cotton and linen coats and covered their faces with scarves.

"What's going on?" The prince looked at the white expanse that was kneeling in front of him, felt ominous, and frowned.

The county commander hurriedly confessed: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, it is the incompetence of the lower officials, seeing that the disaster situation in Ning County has stabilized, I don't want to suddenly break out a few days ago, and the epidemic ......"

"Epidemic?" The prince quietly took a few steps back, "Will it be contagious?" Have you ever died? ”

"There are cases of infection and death, but as long as you take precautions, the probability of infection is very low. Several famous doctors are also stepping up the development of prescriptions......"

No wonder the officials wore sackcloth and scarves, it turned out that it was for protection.

"How many people are infected today?" The prince interrupted the prefectural order again.

The county magistrate only thought that the prince cared about the people, and replied truthfully: "...... More than 300 infected people have been isolated, and nearly 1,000 close contacts are also under observation. ”

Ning County is a city of 10,000 households, with more than 40,000 people. The total number of infected and suspected people is just over 1,000, less than 3 percent of the total population.

The prince was thinking quickly in his mind, and he soon had a plan.

"If you say that the infection rate is low, it means that it is not absolute. And if the disease can be transmitted from person to person, how do we know that it will not spread through air movement? So what's the use of isolation? After all, it is a palliative rather than a cure. Who knows when the prescription will be developed? I'm afraid that before the prescription was born, the people of Ning County were already sick. ”

The county commander looked at the gushing prince, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "I don't know what Your Highness means?" ”

"Don't come here!"

The prince hurriedly stopped the county order, took two steps back, and then said with a solemn face: "In my opinion, it is naturally better to stop the loss in time." ”

"Stop loss in time? How do I stop my loss? ”

"It's better to kill the more than 1,000 infected and suspected people and bury them far away. Observe for a few more days, and once you find that there is a leak, you will also be killed. In this way, we can completely eliminate future troubles and ensure the safety of more people. ”

Suddenly, there was an eerie silence between heaven and earth.

The county commander stared at the prince's face with a strange expression and said nothing.

The Tobe waiter was even more embarrassed and his face turned red. I thought it was a fat trip, but I got things done, and the prince was coaxed, and the position of the household order was just around the corner.

Who knew that the prince would say such a thing! His Majesty has always loved the people like a son, but when the prince talked about killing more than a thousand people, he didn't even blink an eye.

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" The Tobe squire shouted in a low voice as he walked towards the prince, wanting to privately remind the prince that this move must not be done.

"Don't move forward!"

The prince shouted at the Tobe squire, he didn't want to be infected, and the slightest possibility was not allowed! Therefore, these officials in protective clothing did not want to get close to him.

The Tobe squire took a few steps back with some embarrassment and said, "Minister...... The minister has something to do. ”

The prince squinted his eyes: "You stand where you are and say!" Just be louder, I can hear you! ”

Tobe Squire: ...... I want to remind him in a whisper, but the prince still doesn't appreciate it, as if he wishes that his brutal "good name" would spread far and wide.

This is very embarrassing, the household servant coughed helplessly, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the people of Ning County are all my Great Swallow people, that is more than a thousand lives, I hope Your Highness will think twice!" ”

The county magistrate also followed suit and persuaded: "Yes, Your Highness, those more than 1,000 people still have parents, wives and children, if they are killed, more than 1,000 families will be torn apart." Moreover, this epidemic is not a terminal disease, and the two-pronged approach of isolation and treatment will eradicate it in the near future. The subordinates dare to ask Your Majesty to be gracious, and the method of killing is absolutely impossible! ”

The county magistrate said it sincerely, and all the magistrates behind him also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead.

"The kindness of a woman!"

The prince was unmoved, but looked like he hated iron but not steel: "Dealing with the epidemic, there is a reason for leading troops to fight, even if you win the battle, you will inevitably have sacrifices." If we drag the mud and water and let the more than 1,000 people stay, we will spend a lot of materials, energy and money on isolation, protection and treatment, and we will face the risk of uncontrollable continued outbreaks at any time. Wouldn't it be best to trade a total victory with very few casualties? ……”

The prince put his hands behind his back and talked with his head held high.

Bolan seemed to get to know the prince again. She has a new understanding - she boasts that she is as precious as gold, but she doesn't do anything, no matter how golden she is on the surface, her heart is still just a piece of soaring.

"How can epidemics and wars be compared!"

An angry voice.

The county man who was kneeling on the ground couldn't bear to raise his head and said loudly: "Ning County is full of unarmed people, just now, my subordinates went to visit the infected people, they were suffering from illness, but when they learned that the prince was coming, they were all in good spirits!" You are the crown prince whom they admire and love, and you are the support and motivation to encourage them to fight the epidemic. If you kill more than 1,000 people, how can you stop the mouths of the people?! At that time, the people of the world will be chilled, this is by no means alarmist! I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think twice! ”

This county has always had a bad temper, and he often has some friction and unhappiness with the county order for political affairs on weekdays, and the county order actually doesn't like him very much, and he speaks too coarsely and bluntly, and he doesn't talk about art and leaves no room for criticism.

But this time, the county magistrate couldn't help but cheer loudly for the county in his heart.

It's so exciting, it's so exciting!

The county commander suddenly felt that since each other was devoted to the people, it was okay for him to tolerate him more in the future. Of course, that's all for later.
