Chapter 104: Drugged
Zhu Yuan took Bai Bei to find a suitable place to plant those seeds, because the space is special, it won't take long for them to sprout.
The rest of the time, Zhu Yuan hid in the space, pondering the medical skills she had just unlocked.
It's been a few days since the last rain. However, it can only temporarily alleviate the drought in Taihe, and it is almost impossible to solve it completely.
Even so, Ning Bosheng was worshiped as a god by the people of Taihe because he successfully begged for rain.
As soon as Ning Boyu went out, he could hear the people's praise for Ning Bosheng, and almost piled up all the good words on him. On the other hand, he planned everything, but made wedding dresses for others.
The matter of begging for rain not only did not make Ning Bosheng lose the support of the people, but made him more trusted by the people.
Ning Boyu came back from outside with a full body of anger, he walked outside for a short hour, and he didn't hear a word of dissatisfaction with Ning Bosheng. And he was also ordered to come to disaster relief, and in the eyes of the people, he became a dispensable person.
This kind of gap made Ning Boyu very unhappy, and he was also very jealous, why could Ning Bosheng gain the trust of the people so easily.
As we all know, if you want to become a monarch, the will of the people is very important. If Ning Bosheng performed well in the Taihe disaster relief, it is very likely that the position of the prince will be biased in his favor.
Ning Boyu was very worried that Ning Bosheng would take advantage of this opportunity to buy people's hearts, and when that time came, he would be defeated.
His eyes rolled, and he had a plan, and his eyes were vicious. After thinking of the general plan, Ning Boyu brought in the guards and gave such and such orders.
The guards looked embarrassed, "Lord Wang, is this inappropriate?" "After all, it's the people of the whole city, if they are really poisoned and die, won't anyone be held accountable?
Ning Boyu interrupted what he was about to say in displeasure, "If you don't want to, this king can hand it over to someone else." ”
The guards hesitated for a while, but in the end they were reluctant to give up this rare opportunity for meritorious service. Because it's just poisoning the water source, such a simple thing is easy to do.
Ning Boyu nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead." Remember not to let people find out who you are, or you know the consequences. ”
The next day, people began to die in the city. The prefect reported the matter to Ning Bosheng, "They don't look like they are dying of starvation." ”
"Is there an autopsy?" Ning Bosheng's eyes were worried, "If you can, with the consent of your family, all the bodies will be burned." "At this time, it is most likely to provoke highly contagious diseases such as plague.
"Don't you continue to investigate the cause of death?" The prefect was surprised, because it didn't look like his temperament.
Ning Bosheng rubbed his somewhat tired forehead, "The plague is terrible, you must have heard of it." They have passed away, and we have to do our best to keep the people alive. ”
"When the results of the autopsy come out, let's discuss it with the people." Ning Bosheng has a long-term vision and will never just stare at the present.
However, before the prefect's order could be conveyed and the results of the post-mortem examination should have not been released, the plague broke out.
First of all, one of the refugees had symptoms of the plague, because all the people gathered together, and they spread from one to the other, and all the refugees in that area were infected.
Ning Bosheng sent a doctor to diagnose those refugees, and all he got was the result of the plague.
At this moment, no one knows that this is not a real plague, but just very similar to it.
Dark clouds shrouded the entire prefect's mansion, and Ning Bosheng didn't know how many days he hadn't laughed. The night without closing his eyes made him look extremely tired, but he was just holding on to giving various orders.
They had to isolate people who were already sick, and then they had to have enough herbs and doctors to bring the plague under control as soon as possible.
"Lord Wang, many of our people have unfortunately been infected, and now there is a shortage of manpower." The prefect was busy and sweating profusely, but he did not flinch because of the plague and joined the others to help.
When Ning Bosheng heard that there were not enough people, he couldn't sit still in the mansion. He said directly, "I'll go with you to 0 to help." ”
"Lord Wang, I can't help it," the doorman and the prefect hurriedly stopped, "This plague is dangerous, and many guards have been infected. Lord Wang, you are a daughter, how can you take care of the sick. ”
Ning Bosheng didn't listen to their obstruction, and resolutely stayed in the most serious place of the plague for a few days. Even though he did a good job of protection, he still accidentally got infected in the end.
It wasn't until he contracted the disease that Ning Bosheng let himself out of the refugees.
Ning Bosheng's every move, the Buddha was reported to Ning Boyu. When he heard that he was infected with the plague, the latter stroked his hands and laughed, "I want to see who else can save him this time." ”
Taihe's doctor couldn't think of a prescription to solve the plague, and Ning Bosheng was infected with the plague at this time, which meant that he was hopeless.
Not only was Ning Bosheng infected, but many of the guards who helped had symptoms of the plague, and the entire city was about to become a plague area.
Ning Bosheng couldn't control it, so he wrote an excerpt, asking people to send it to the capital quickly, and they had to seek help from Taihe's hospital, and Taihe's doctor was helpless.
Ning Bosheng calculated the time, and estimated that he could last a few days, and he could wait for someone from the Tai Hospital to come.
"Lord Wang, you can drink the medicine." The attendants brought him the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and although he knew that it was of little use, many people insisted on drinking it for the sake of comfort.
Ning Bosheng saw the black medicinal juice, and subconsciously thought of Zhu Yuan, who was still recuperating in Zhuangzi on the mountain. At first, he thought that he would be able to see her soon, but he didn't expect that there would be an outbreak of the plague, and the matter of visiting the sick was delayed, and he still didn't know about Zhu Yuan's situation.
Now it seems that I am afraid that only when the people from the Tai Hospital come and control the plague can I go and bring Zhu Yuan back.
However, what Ning Bosheng didn't know was that the guards he sent out didn't go out of the Taihe River, and they didn't even go out of the city gate, so they were killed.
Ning Boyu took the letter written by Ning Bosheng and said to himself, "Do you still want to go to the capital to find the Tai Hospital?" ”
He did not hesitate to place the letter on the candle flame, and soon the life-saving letter was reduced to ashes. Ning Boyu's face looked particularly weird under the reflection of the candle flame, "You can only wait for death slowly like everyone else." ”
The plague is getting worse and worse, I don't know who said a legend that heaven punished Taihe, and what usually seems absurd and nonsense has made many people believe it at this time.
Refugees are no longer obediently isolated, but secretly run out to worship the Buddha and burn incense, praying for forgiveness from the gods. As a result, more people are infected, and as long as they go outside, almost all of them are sick refugees, their eyes are empty, lifeless, and ready to die.
