"Grandpa Guo, do you want to rest first?" Qian Governor of Yudong City, sweating and cautiously said to Xue Wenyu.

Xue Wenyu, who had arrived here all the way non-stop, stood on the beacon tower in Sheephorn Town, twisting his eyebrows and looking at the Yudong City Gate in the distance.

The gates of the city were closed, and the outer roads were guarded by officers and soldiers.

"You're in good hands." Xue Wenyu also didn't expect that this Qian Governor would be able to think of this step and block Yudong City and the outside world.

Governor Qian was still very worried, but now when he heard that Grandpa Guo approved his disposal method, he was finally a little relieved; "It's not that the lower officials handle it well, before the summer, the Holy Majesty issued epidemic prevention manuals to various places. Therefore, although it is not clear what the cause is, whether it is an epidemic or not, it is also a precautionary act according to what the brochure says.

It's still a little late, and if you do it at the beginning, it probably won't spread to the outside.

There were not enough manpower, so the lower officials could only invite the soldiers stationed in Yudong to assist, but it was only enough to surround here.

Several villages between Yudong and the nearest Qinghe Prefecture have also begun to die.

The lower officials still didn't dare to ask the emperor for troops. Otherwise, you can make the circle larger, which is more secure. ”

When he said this, he looked at Xue Wenyu in embarrassment.

As the prefect of a state, he naturally knew that even if this grandfather came, he had no right to dispatch troops and horses.

Although Grandpa Guo came here to investigate this incident on the orders of the emperor, he did not come to quell the rebellion, so the emperor naturally did not think of giving him military power when he came.

"I ordered someone to borrow troops." Although Xue Wenyu had just arrived, the prefect had already told him about the situation in the past two days, and accompanied him to Yizhuang to see the corpses in person.

Therefore, now Xue Wenyu also thought that he had to transfer troops here.

"Grandpa Guo, no." When Governor Qian heard this, instead of being happy, he waved his hand again and again in fright.

"Huh? Why not? Xue Wenyu was also puzzled.

Doesn't it mean that there is a shortage of manpower? But how can he say that he borrowed troops, and he still opposes it?

"Grandpa Guo is not annoyed, and listen to what the lower officials say. At the moment, it is true that there are manpower, but if it is not you who comes this time, but any other minister, they say that it is okay to borrow troops, but you can't.

Grandpa Guo, your identity and status are very special now, cough cough, if you are a lower official, Grandpa Guo should understand, right? Qian Zhifu said helplessly.

Before this grandfather arrived, he was also muttering in his heart, whether the grandfather of the country was really as rumored, and assisted His Majesty with other plans.

However, as soon as he arrived, he had to see the dead himself.

You must know that the more status and status you have, the higher your official position, the less likely you will act like this.

It's coming, it's coming, and it's definitely going to be sent to check it out.

Yes, Grandpa Guo can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the bloody and cruel scenes have long been seen, and he will not be taboo to see dead people.

However, the cause of death of the deceased this time is wrong.

Among the people who came into contact with the deceased, the mortality rate was the highest, that is, the old man who guarded Yizhuang, and after the incident, three of them had already died.

But this grandfather went to check it out in person, if he really snooped on the throne like the rumors, shouldn't he be more sparing about his life?

Qian Zhifu doesn't think that Grandpa Guo's move is to make a good reputation.

Therefore, Qian Zhifu felt that those rumors about the bad grandfather of the country were all clever speculations made by some people.

Therefore, for the sake of the grandfather of this country, Governor Qian must not borrow troops.

If you really borrow soldiers and really borrow them, wouldn't it leave some people with more words?

After listening to the hint of the Qian Governor's Mansion, which was already very clear, Xue Wenyu smiled, it turned out to be like this.

"The matter at the moment is imminent, and I can't take care of it so much." After Xue Wenyu finished speaking, he ordered to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrote a few letters and handed them to a few subordinates, and went to nearby states and counties to borrow troops.

In fact, if a place is willing to borrow, it is enough.

But just now, Governor Qian's words reminded Xue Wenyu that the rumors seemed to have spread far away.

Qian Zhifu's kind reminder does not mean that others trust him.

Therefore, I have to go out a few more passers-by, and there will always be a sober balance of the seriousness of the matter, and those who are willing to borrow troops will be willing to borrow troops.

Well, the sun has set.

Xue Wenyu's people had quickly set up their tents, and the Qian Governor's Mansion had also arranged for someone to prepare dinner for them.

The food is very simple, but the eating utensils are very cumbersome.

The dishes and chopsticks are scalded with boiling water, scalded before use, and then scalded again after washing after eating.

Xue Wenyu looked at it and couldn't help but think about his daughter-in-law who he hadn't seen for a few days.

He stood in the night, facing the direction of the capital, and said to her in his heart, daughter-in-law, do you know? The disease prevention manual you asked Brother Hui to send down really came in handy.

This prefect Qian is quite reliable, and he takes the manual seriously.

Xue Wenyu remembered his promise to his daughter-in-law that no matter what he did when he went out in the future, he would take her with him.

This time, however, he lost his words.

If you want to stay in the capital for a day or night, it will take eight days to get here.

Because of the urgency, their group stopped to eat something during the day, feed the horses, and immediately hurried to continue their journey. In the evening, that is, after resting for about two hours, we set off overnight.

In this way, it is also the fourth day.

In the past four days, more than 600 deaths have been reported.

Just at the dinner stall, I'm afraid that somewhere someone is dying.

"Grandpa Guo, since you have personally checked those deceased, why don't you dispose of some more according to the disease prevention manual?" Governor Qian's voice suddenly sounded behind Xue Wenyu.

Because Xue Wenyu was distracted, he didn't even notice it.

Now that the temperature is too high in the middle of summer, many corpses have begun to rot and stink.

It's not that Governor Qian had already disposed of the first dead ones in accordance with the manual a few days earlier, and it is estimated that he can smell the corpse smell standing here at this moment.

According to the epidemic prevention manual, there are two ways to dispose of the corpses that died due to the plague, one is deep burial, one layer of lime and one layer of corpses, and the other is fire.

When the Qian Governor's Mansion began to deal with it, he wanted to choose to use lime, as the saying goes, the dead are big, although it is a pit for dozens of corpses, and there is not even a coffin, so it is rolled up with a sheet mat, but it can leave a whole body for the deceased.

However, because I am familiar with the epidemic prevention manual, it is highlighted that there are two ways to dispose of corpses, the latter is the most secure and will never cause trouble.

Therefore, under the pressure of being cursed and cursed by the people, the Qian Governor's Mansion used cremation.

"Lord Qian, you handled this matter really well, so you don't need to discuss this matter with me, you just call the shots." Xue Wenyu did not object.

In order to find out the cause of death of these deceased, it is necessary to examine the corpses, but in this situation, the most important thing is the corpses, and there may be them at any time.

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Governor Qian respectfully responded and left to make arrangements.

It was already late at night, and Xue Wenyu lay in the tent but didn't feel sleepy at all.

Close your eyes, and that's what the dead are like.

"Yingbao, if I brought you, would you know what was going on?" He muttered to himself......
