Soon, rumors about abandoned babies spread to the city, and some people even suggested that it was this abandoned baby who brought about the epidemic, and tricked Rong Yan and the others into adopting him to ensure their own safety, so that the epidemic could continue.

For a while, the people in the city were panicked, and Huang Shijiao, as an old minister of the two dynasties, encountered this kind of thing, and felt that he could no longer let Rong Yan and the others keep this abandoned baby.

Regardless of whether the epidemic is caused by abandoned babies or not, as long as the abandoned babies or the epidemic are still there, these rumors will not stop, but will only intensify. At this time, the abandoned baby is a hot potato, rather than staying in his own hands to make people angry, it is better to take it out and sacrifice to the sky to comfort the people's hearts.

Therefore, Huang Shijiao raised the matter in the court.

"Holy Lord, have you heard about the recent incident about the abandoned baby you adopted?" Huang Shijiao walked out of the courtiers with a jade wat board and saluted Rong Yan.

Rong Yan didn't expect that someone would openly mention this matter in the court, and couldn't help but look at Huang Shijiao twice, "Do you have any opinion on this?" ”

"The minister thinks that the saint should take out the baby and sacrifice him to the heavens and pray for the blessings of the people, so as to conform to the will of the people and end the epidemic as soon as possible." Huang Shijiao said word by word.

Every time he said a word, Rong Yan's brows furrowed a little, especially when he heard the word "take out" when Huang Shijiao treated the baby as an object that could be discarded at will, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Natural and man-made disasters, just a baby, God is willing to solve it? That's a bit ridiculous. Rong Yan sneered, but heard the whispers of the courtiers below.

"The Holy One can't really be bewitched by demons, right? actually defended a despicable abandoned baby like this. ”

"I also think that there is no problem with Lord Huang's words, this sacred heart ...... It's unpredictable. ”

Rong Yan heard their words clearly, and couldn't help but sneer, "There are some people down there, do you dare to stand up and tell me what you have to say?" Otherwise, I don't know what other 'high opinions' you have. ”

Rong Yan bit the word "Gao Jian" very hard, and the bottom suddenly stopped, and it took a long time for a stunned young man to stand up.

"Holy Lord, the minister thinks that Lord Huang's advice is very good. Now the people are saying that the abandoned baby is a demon, it is the epidemic that he brought about, whether it is or not, it is always a good deed for the holy to pray for the people, if the epidemic can really disappear, then it is even better, it is always okay to try. Stunned Qing said, and many courtiers beside him nodded.

"If he is not a wicked, and we have angered God by praying to Heaven for blessings with our human lives, what should you do? Do you apologize for your sins with your head? You always boast that you take the common people of the world as your responsibility, and now you have no evidence to prove that he is a demon, you still have to try, isn't this a careless disregard for human life? Rong Yan directly moved the words to the table, and the bottom was suddenly silent.

Seeing this, Rong Yan pursed his lips, "What you should do now is to think about what methods you can use to control the spread of the plague." Retreat, I'm tired. ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers below left the store one after another like a tide, and Rong Yan collapsed on the dragon chair and sighed.

The epidemic is already pressing, coupled with the rumors of the abandoned baby, this matter cannot be delayed, the more it is delayed, the more likely it is to have variables, for the sake of now, the only way to stabilize the epidemic is to find a way to stabilize the epidemic as soon as possible.

Thinking so, Rong Yan summoned a physician who specialized in the study of plague.

"How's the epidemic going now? Have you come up with a way to stabilize the epidemic? Rong Yan asked.

The imperial doctor shook his head, "The minister has changed more than one version of the prescription, and the current prescription is the cheapest and effective, but those who have the epidemic will soon be infected again after they are cured, the minister is really ...... There is nothing you can do! ”

As he spoke, the imperial physician knelt down and kowtowed to Rong Yan three times, but Rong Yan stopped his movements.

"So, the main reason for the spread of the epidemic now is that the number of sick people is still high because patients have been repeatedly infected? If so, what happens to separating the sick from those who are not sick? Rong Yan thought for a while and said.

"This method has also been thought of by the minister, but people who have the epidemic are often the whole family, and after being cured, they will definitely not be relieved that their families will take care of them, this method is really ...... It's hard to implement. The Imperial Physician shook his head.

Rong Yan paused, "I'll give you a team of soldiers and horses, they will come to maintain order for you, you just have to do it, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

The imperial doctor was suddenly shocked, knelt down again, and made a big salute to Rong Yan, "Thank you for the trust of the saint, the old minister will definitely live up to his trust!" ”

Soon, with the treatment of the doctors and the implementation of Rong Yan's tough measures, the epidemic situation improved a lot, and the number of people who got the epidemic and died was a lot less for a while, and the rumors about abandoned babies also diminished a lot.

But even so, there are still many wives of the family who eat salty radishes and worry about it.

"Madame, I have heard that you seem to be hiding an abandoned baby, as if you were a demon who caused a plague...... What are you going to do with this? Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Yunling with a curious expression.

Zhao Yunling looked indifferent, "What to deal with, this abandoned baby is not in my hands at all." ”

"Is that really the case? How did I hear Mrs. Lin say...... "Mrs. Wang obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Zhao Yunling with an inquiring gaze.

Zhao Yunling only glanced back at her coldly, "You don't know Mrs. Lin's temperament?" I also heard Mrs. Lin say that Mrs. Wang, you hid a little white face behind Lord Wang's back, is this also true? ”163TXT

Mrs. Wang was poked in the ugly place, so she had to smile wryly, "What are you talking about, no, naturally there is no more, you see, you are still talking about this." ”

Because of this incident, Zhao Yunling didn't have the heart to go down with this Mrs. Wang, so he sent her away with a few casual words.

In the evening, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling chatted about it.

"Now that everyone knows about it, it's no longer a way for us to hide that kid like this." Rong Yan sighed and looked at Zhao Yunling.

Zhao Yunling nodded, obviously agreeing with his opinion, but now in this situation, it is not a way not to hide, once they let go, then that child will only have a certain death, which is not what they want to see.

"Rong Yan, then what are we going to do now?" Zhao Yunling asked.

Rong Yan pondered for a while, "The current epidemic can be basically controlled, and when the epidemic is completely stabilized, no one will believe the rumors, and at that time, we don't have to hide this matter like this." Although it is just self-deception now, when the epidemic stabilizes, at least that child will not have to be like now, and there will be no light at all. ”

Zhao Yunling can only agree.

"Rong Yan, since you said that the epidemic is basically under control now, let's go to the patient area tonight to see the situation, and by the way, we can also appease their emotions." Zhao Yunling proposed.

"That's fine, then I'll go and call someone to arrange it now. But Yun Ling, you remember, you must protect yourself, this epidemic is too easy to spread. Rong Yan looked at Zhao Yunling and said seriously.

Zhao Yunling looked at him like this, couldn't help laughing, and leaned into Rong Yan's arms, "Okay, I know, the two of us will go together, and I won't go alone, you have to protect yourself." ”

Rong Yan smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand and hugged Zhao Yunling, "Aren't I worried about you?" Even if I am by your side, there will still be accidents - they are all old husbands and wives, and they are not afraid of being seen by their children and laughing. ”

The two of them were warm for a short time, and the sky soon darkened, and the patient area was outside the city, so they quickly left for the city.

When they arrived at the patient area, it was already completely dark, and the two of them were also dressed in draping yarns and hats to prevent infection.

The doctor in the patient area greeted Rong Yan and the others with surprise and joy, "Why are you two here, this is a pickled ......?"

Zhao Yunling smiled, "I heard that you have done a good job and saved a lot of patients, so let's take a look, why don't you talk about the situation in the recent period?" ”

The doctor's face was overjoyed, and when he heard Zhao Yunling say this, he nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." ”

Then the doctor introduced Zhao Yunling and the others to the number of patients they had treated in the recent period and the improved prescriptions, and at the same time led them to the house to see the patients.

At this moment, someone suddenly bumped into Zhao Yunling, Zhao Yunling exclaimed, and saw that there were many people behind the person carrying the patient into the room.

The doctor just wanted to scold the man for being blind, but when he saw these patients, he was immediately shocked, "This is ...... How can there be so many more patients? Isn't the epidemic under control? ”

A small servant who finished carrying the patient said, "Doctor, you don't know something, I don't know what happened tonight, there are a lot of patients in the city at once, and there are many in the back, and now the city is in chaos!" ”

Then the minister stationed in the patient area also came, and he wanted to discuss the situation with the doctor, but he didn't want to bump into Rong Yan.

"Holy Lord, why are you here—those sick ......" the minister was at a loss for words.

Rong Yan glanced at the doctor and several ministers, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go out and discuss." So saying, he led the people out of the house.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunling took care of the patient with several doctors in the house.

When Zhao Yunling was looking at a patient who had just been carried in, the patient coughed and pulled Zhao Yunling's skirt, "That one is a saint just now, then you are ......"

Zhao Yunling stopped his words with his eyes, "I am." ”

Unexpectedly, the patient suddenly became manic, and lifted Zhao Yunling's hat with yarn, "It's you!" You poisonous woman, you have taken in the demons, and you have harmed us so far, I must infect you with the epidemic today, and I will not bear it! ”

As he spoke, the man leaned towards Zhao Yunling, seeing that a mouthful of spit was about to spit on Zhao Yunling. Zhao Yunling was pulled away by Rong Yan, who came to hear the movement.

"Come on, pull him out for me, I don't want to save some resources if I don't want to live and wait to be rescued. Yun Ling, you go and rest. Rong Yan's words cannot be questioned.

The others quickly pulled the man away, Zhao Yunling glanced back, even though the person was dragged away, he still cursed endlessly.
