Chapter 362: Killing the Victims
Seeing that the victims of the disaster under the city were more or less peaceful, the noise was not as loud as before, and there was no opposition or fierce words, Xie Shiyun couldn't help but exhale lightly, and his body relaxed.
Shicai's words had two intentions, one was to protect the people inside the city, and the other was to protect the victims outside the city.
There is not much time left for them now, and if they want to settle the matter completely, they need to eradicate the disease. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable that these people who might have carried or contracted the epidemic into the city.
Shen Sijun looked at Xie Shiyun, and his low voice carried an undeniable firmness: "I will also stay and accompany these people with you." ”
Xie Shiyun raised her eyes and looked at him, only nodded slightly and looked away.
At the moment, there is a need for manpower, and if there is Shen Sijun's help, this matter must be more or less convenient. After all, the facts just now are the best proof, if Shen Sijun didn't show up in time, she didn't dare to guarantee what would happen in the chaos.
"In that case, I will go out of the city with you." Hearing their conversation, Shen Qian also walked over, "Now that this matter is chaotic, multiple people are multiple forces, and I always want to help." ”
"Okay, thank you." Xie Shiyun smiled heartily and did not shirk.
Seeing the sunset in the West Mountain, the day was about to pass, and Xie Shiyun and his party stayed in a temporary shed after leaving the city. She sat in the tent and took a sip of warm tea, her slightly chapped lips moisturizing a little.
In the main hall of the palace, dragon sandalwood curls with smoke, and the setting moon reflects crimson light from the window, casting a few red marks on the ground.
Emperor An He was leaning on the dragon chair, one hand bent up to support his chin, the other hand lightly rested on the table, and his index finger tapped lightly, as if he was in thought.
Xie Yuan stood in the hall with his waist bent, and a pair of eyes quietly glanced at the man on the dragon chair from time to time, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
"Father, how did you think about your son's proposal?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he explained the purpose of his trip, and then he slowly said, "The victims of the disaster gathered outside the city gates, separated only by a wall from the people in the city, and the epidemic spread so fast, that everyone may have been infected with those harmful things to some extent. If they are allowed to enter the city, it will be a dead end, and it will affect the people in the city, and then the matter will be very big-"
"Therefore, the sons still had the courage to ask their father to slaughter the victims outside the city."
His words were unusually clear and urgent, with a look of concern for the country on his face.
Emperor An hesitated for a moment, and suddenly the face of his daughter, a determined woman, suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the end, he still shook his head: "This plan is not appropriate. ”
"Father!" Xie Yuan's voice raised slightly, and his brows became more and more frowned, "You may not know what happened before!" As time passed, the people became more and more frightened, and not long ago, the victims dared to riot outside the city, and almost drove straight into the city! The retainers thought that the person who was about to die would ignore the king's law, and if he didn't take some unusual measures, maybe in a few days, the city gate would not be able to hold on! ”
Emperor An He's words suddenly choked, his fingers clenched, and there was more doubt and uneasiness in his eyes.
Riots are a very serious matter.
"If they were all killed, the disease would not continue to spread, and no innocent people would die because of it. And the capital will not be affected. Father, what are you worried about? Seeing that Emperor An He was a little shaken, the corners of Xie Yuan's lips hooked up an imperceptible sinister smile, and he continued to slow down his voice and follow the temptation.
The clenched hand suddenly let go, and Emperor An He took a deep breath: "Then, this matter will be handled by you." ”
"Erchen takes orders!" Xie Yuan immediately respectfully accepted the order and then retreated.
Out of the palace gate, Xie Yuan's eyes crossed a trace of ruthlessness.
As soon as this matter was completed, he got the emperor's order, and he could let it go. So......
Another day passed, and outside the city gates, in the tents, all the people sat around the tables, and they were silent.
The tent was quiet, except for the occasional page turning.
Xie Shiyun carefully examined the few prescriptions in her hand, but her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about their similarities and feasibility.
A group of imperial doctors also sat beside her, some of them still wrote with their pens dipped in ink, some of them put their pens on their heads and scanned the prescriptions, Luo Qiuheng also held a brush, and from time to time put a few notes on the relevant medical books that were being studied.
Although there is silence, there is always progress, and if there is a new discovery, someone will suddenly open their mouths to break the silence.
On the table are all prescriptions written these days, although they may be useful, but if you try them one by one, there is no way.
There was a noise at the door, and when Xie Shiyun was puzzled, someone shouted outside the door: "Your Highness, we want to see you!" ”
This is the voice of those people.
"Come in." Xie Shiyun gently folded the prescription and put it on the table, and when she raised her eyes, she saw several people walking in, all of them covering their mouths and noses, not daring to get too close.
She frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Several people were silent for a moment, and finally someone spoke first: "We have contracted the epidemic, so we dare not get too close to you." We wait for ...... Thank you very much for your dedication and companionship these days, I heard that Your Highness has written a few prescriptions, and several of us are willing to try the medicine! ”
Hearing this, Xie Shiyun was slightly stunned, and then the corners of her lips raised slightly and a smile appeared: "Thank you." ”
Several people looked at each other and waved their hands again and again: "It's our Royal Highness who we want to thank!" Without His Highness's company and help, all of us would have been given up and died on the streets. ”
Late at night, the dispensing of medicines that had been busy for several days finally made new progress, and when Xie Shiyun was carefully grinding the herbs in the tent, he suddenly heard a different movement outside.
Rather than the familiar noise, those cries were more like ...... Screams and wails!
Without thinking much about it, Xie Shiyun hurriedly put down the herbs and ran out, but when the vision was clear, what caught his eye was blood in the ground.
The ruthless cold sword was raised and fell, and the innocent victims fell one after another in despair, their eyes wide open, as if they were at a loss.
Seeing unarmed people being slaughtered like this, Xie Shiyun's eyes turned red.
Who the hell?!
In the firelight, Xie Shiyun's gaze was fixed on a familiar figure.
The man was standing upright, with a sword at his waist, directing the soldiers behind him in this bloody slaughter.
His hands clenched quickly, his nails reddened slightly as they embedded in his palms, but they were nothing compared to the blood on the ground.
She gritted her teeth every word, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, with Sheng Ren's anger: "Xie, Yuan!" ”
