503: Infected with the Plague
When General Zhao fled back to Huainan, Cheng Qing and his entourage arrived at Wuhe, and they did not encounter any danger along the way.
Wuhe was originally a small county, but now it has temporarily become a stronghold for disaster relief, and there are nobles like the Five Princes, and all the troops of the nearby guards are gathered here, which is a solid and safe place.
Most of the nearby displaced people heard the news, and they also flocked to Wuhe County, and now there are 20,000 or 30,000 displaced people outside the county, and it is impossible for so many people to be resettled in the county seat.
According to what Cheng Qing said, the five princes purchased a lot of medicinal materials and transported them to Wuhe, and they also had to take care of the food and drink of twenty or thirty thousand homeless people.
The army and the displaced people brought the population, the people had to eat, drink and Lazar, and the goods and money flowed naturally, and the small county of Wuhe became extremely prosperous in a very short time, with an endless stream of cars and horses coming in and out.
Before Cheng Qing entered the city, he heard about the various regulations promulgated by the five princes for the resettlement of displaced people.
She and Yu San waited outside the city with people, "It seems that the Fifth Highness is lucky." ”
I arrived in Wuhe County early, and I didn't meet a scarf thief on the road.
While he was talking, a group of sergeants walked quickly to the city gate:
"But Master Cheng? Your Highness is waiting for Master Cheng at the county office, and you are a few days later than the agreed time. ”
"There is a reason for the incident, and I have my own explanation when I see His Royal Highness."
The entire county was heavily guarded, Yu San frowned slightly, and when Cheng Qing and the sergeant were greeting, he whispered to Gu Hongtai: "Be careful when you enter the city, the situation seems to be a little wrong." ”
Gu Hongtai had a question mark on his face.
However, Yu Baihu will not joke about this kind of thing, and he will not make a mistake if he is careful.
Gu Hongtai nodded slowly.
Cheng Qing didn't seem to be aware of the danger, Yu San was on guard all the way, and there was no danger when he walked to the county office, which made Yu San wonder if he was mistaken.
When Cheng Qing arrived in Wuhe, it was normal not to see the five princes and Cheng Zhixu, but Cui Yan didn't run to the city gate to pick up Cheng Qing as soon as possible...... What's the matter, I've been with the five princes for a long time, so I don't need to behave in front of Cheng Qing?
Yu San just felt that something was wrong.
There were no dozens of killers ambushed in the county office, and Cheng Qing and Yu San met Cheng Zhixu together.
There are officials from Wuhe County, as well as military attaches from the army, who lined up to report to Cheng Zhixu, and Cheng Shilang approved them one by one, and he was in power.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Cheng Zhixu sent the person in front of him away, and had time to talk to Cheng Qing and Yu San, and the first sentence he said had a strong smell of gunpowder: "Cheng Qing, you should have arrived in Wuhe a few days ago, why delay?" ”
"Lord Squire, the lower official also wanted to come by appointment, but he was surrounded by scarf thieves halfway, so it was delayed for a few days."
Cheng Zhixu's brows tightened: "You have met a scarf thief, the disaster relief food ......"
"The disaster relief food is fine, Yu Baihu and I transported more than 70,000 stone of grain to Wuhe, it should be enough to chew for a while, why don't you see the Fifth Highness and Cui Yan?"
Cheng Qing looked left and right.
Cheng Zhixu asked her about the scarf thief, Cheng Qing simply told her about Hongxian, but Cheng Zhixu didn't believe it:
"You have annihilated nearly 10,000 thieves?"
"There's some luck, Lord Shilang, why don't you see the Fifth Highness!"
Cheng Qing asked the fifth prince for the second time, Cheng Zhixu waved his hand, and everyone else in the room retreated, leaving only Cheng Qing and Yu San.
Then Cheng Zhixu dropped a big bomb, which made Cheng Qing dizzy.
“…… The Fifth Highness has contracted the epidemic?! ”
"Not bad!"
Cheng Zhixu was also full of tiredness when he mentioned it, "Before he arrived in Wuhe County, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness had symptoms, and there were also a few people in the guard army who were sick, and the infected guards were placed on the road by us, only His Royal Highness and Director Cui insisted on reaching Wuhe County, and they were quarantined according to what you said when they arrived in Wuhe County. ”
Cheng Qing hadn't finished digesting the big bomb of the epidemic that the fifth prince was infected, and he was blown up by Cheng Zhixu's backhand for the second time.
Cui Yan is also sick!
Cheng Qing's voice trembled unconsciously, "Are they still alive?" ”
The five princes will definitely get the best treatment, and the accompanying imperial doctors, the doctors brought by Cheng Qing from the capital, will try their best to save the five princes.
Cheng Qing thinks that human life is not valuable, if you have to say that there is, that is, good people are more expensive than bad people's lives - the only trouble is that good people and bad people are not easy to distinguish most of the time, just like Cheng Qing herself, she doesn't think she is a "good person" in the traditional sense, but compared with the scarf thief who looted and burned it, her so-called "bad" is just selfishness in human nature, why can't her life be more valuable than the life of a scarf thief?
But in Dawei, people judge the value of life, and the standard is completely different from Cheng Qing.
The life of the master is inherently more precious than that of a slave, the life of an official is more precious than that of ordinary people, the life of a noble person is more precious than that of an ordinary official, and the emperor is the most noble in the whole world.
The five princes and Cui Yan contracted the epidemic together, Cheng Qing's emotional balance was biased in favor of Cui Yan, she was afraid that all the doctors would go to save the five princes, no one would pay attention to Cui Yan, and let Cui Yan fend for himself!
Cheng Zhixu saw through Cheng Qing's external strength and middle strength.
It turns out that Cheng Qing is also afraid?
Afraid of what.
I was afraid that Cui Yan would die.
Cheng Zhixu smiled sarcastically, "You treat this official as a villain who must be avenged, I am afraid that Cui Yan will befriend you, His Royal Highness will fall ill, and this official will take the opportunity to let Cui Yan die of lack of medicine and medicine?" ”
"Uncle Cheng, forgive me, Cheng Qing is concerned and chaotic, and he has no intention of questioning his uncle."
Yu San was afraid that Cheng Qing and Cheng Zhixu would collapse, so he hurriedly reconciled.
Now Wuhe County is in the hands of Cheng Zhixu, if Cheng Zhixu turns his face and does not recognize people, Yu San is sure that he will escape from Wuhe County, and it will be more difficult to bring more Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing will definitely not leave behind the ancestors and grandchildren of the He family...... Yu San is not called Master Cheng, but Uncle Cheng, starting from his personal relationship with Cheng Qi, Cheng Zhixu's face is a little pale:
"It's okay to ask, the official is worthy of what he has done in this matter, His Royal Highness is a nobleman, and he should see the best doctor with the best medicine, Cui Yan is just the head of a household, how can he compare with His Highness? However, the official did not deduct Cui Yan's medication, whether he can survive the epidemic depends on God's will! ”
That means Cui Yan is still alive now?
Compared to the worst news, that's good news.
Cheng Qing immediately got off the donkey: "Second uncle, just now the little nephew lost his temper, the little nephew has no intention of questioning the second uncle's conduct, although I don't know how the Fifth Highness and Cui Yan contracted the epidemic, the second uncle presides over the overall situation instead of the Fifth Highness, and he has to worry about the condition of the Fifth Highness, it's really hard!" ”
Good obedient Cheng Qing can also speak, if she asks for something, she can now put her posture very low.
This kind of spit and self-drying skin, Cheng Jue does not have ...... Cheng Zhixu suppressed the regret in his heart and told Cheng Qing and Yu San about the experience of his group since the separation of Xuzhou Wharf.
