On the other side, when the people heard the news of the death of the county magistrate, their faces were a little lighter, their hearts were relieved, and their walking steps were brisk.

At this moment, they are really living in this sunny world.

They really felt that the sky was blue and the clouds were white.

Everyone was smiling, and there was no longer half of the suppressed emotions in the city, because of the death of the county order, everyone was eager to hold a banquet for three days in a row.

Zhong Xiaoshu looked at them like this, distressed and helpless.

Pity her Xichuan people, who have suffered for so long.

Then he faced the people.

"I have decided to elect a temporary county magistrate for you first, and then when I return to the court, I will ask the emperor for instructions.

How about arranging a parent officer here who really cares about the people? ”

She smiled and had a serene look on her face.

"But if that man is like that man again, we'd rather not!"

"Yes, I'd rather not have it than suffer from it."

"We don't need parents to live, but when they come, we are in great trouble."

"We don't want it to be a memory to be buried in our hearts."

……

The people were reluctant to send people from the imperial court, and their faces were sad.

Zhong Xiaoshu was distressed and helpless, looking at them gentle and quiet, with a solemn face, promising to them.

"You believe in the court again, the current king is a bright king.

He is sympathetic to the people, and will never let you suffer, believe me, the next county magistrate will never loot the people's money, but will only care for you. ”

The people looked at the sincerity on her face, and nodded helplessly.

"That's it, this is a benefactor for all of us, let's believe her once."

……

Zhong Xiaoshu looked at the blue field outside the window, and the night was thick.

She frowned slightly, looking at this round of bright moon.

White and flawless, pure and thorough.

And in this city under the full moonlight, it is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows, those who hide in the dark night.

In the dark days, I strung together one big net after another, waiting for myself to take the initiative to jump down.

Tempted by the people, she couldn't refuse.

Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes were a little colder, and his sparse and shallow eyebrows and eyes were a touch of coolness.

Tomorrow, let's leave.

The more you stay, the more dangerous it becomes, Zhong Xiaoshu knows it.

……

The next day, Zhong Xiaoshu packed up his things and was about to leave.

"Oh no, no, mother, the soldiers all had a fever overnight."

Qing'er stumbled in, panting, and her face was very bad.

Zhong Xiaoshu put down the package in his hand and went to the soldier's side.

Looking at the majestic soldiers with slightly red cheeks, they looked at Zhong Xiaoshu with a hot sweat, and their faces were apologetic.

"I'm sorry Niangniang, but at this juncture, we are sick."

Zhong Xiaoshu pondered for a moment, felt that something was wrong, his face was slightly cold, and he said softly: "It's okay, you guys are cultivating first, don't worry." ”

She frowned, the other party desperately wanted to keep her in the city, was she so afraid that she would return to Beijing?

Zhong Xiaoshu hooked his lips silently, his face was a little helpless, he rubbed his temples, and instructed the imperial doctor to take care of them.

The day of returning to Beijing was postponed even further.

Seeing the soldiers look like this, his heart was worried, Zhong Xiaoshu smiled helplessly and comforted them.

"Good cultivation, I still want to see the heroic appearance of killing the enemy on the battlefield on your door."

The soldiers lowered their eyes and responded "yes", but their faces were damp. It's red.

Thinking that the queen mother trusted them so much, she felt a little excited, and a heart to fight for the country suddenly burned.

……

After a few more days, things didn't go in the right direction.

Even the whole town began to have a fever, like a mighty wind, sweeping the entire city.

Zhong Xiaoshu thought it was just a simple fever, and planned to rest for a few days and leave when the fever subsided.

But I didn't expect that this burning day was like this, and there was no country at all, and the soldiers looked helpless.

Zhong Xiaoshu's heart was extremely weird, looking at them frowning, not knowing what to do, his heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

If the soldiers have a fever, it's okay to say, but if the people in this town also have a fever one after another, what the hell?

Zhong Xiaoshu was puzzled, and always felt as if he had stepped into another trap.

I was bored and helpless for a while, and I was going to ask Imperial Doctor Chen what was the reason.

After a while, he found Imperial Physician Chen, and by the way, he took the second prince, looking at Imperial Physician Chen's appearance, Zhong Xiaoshu asked in a low voice, his face became more solemn.

"It's not your average fever."

Zhong Xiaoshu, who was exquisite, had already guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart, and his face was slightly condensed.

Imperial Physician Chen looked at Zhong Xiaoshu and stopped talking, remembering the results of his investigation just now.

After a long time, she frowned and whispered, "The queen mother guessed correctly." ”

Zhong Xiaoshu's face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly asked, "Then ......?" ”

Imperial Physician Chen frowned and said in a deep voice.

"The old man has just found out that the cause of this fever is that a man infected with the plague in the town came into contact with the army.

caused all the people in the army to be infected with the plague, and the man turned his head and came into contact with a few people in the town, and the plague spread to ten, ten to hundred, and the plague became a common practice. ”

"Queen Mother, if you let this plague spread again, the harem will be unimaginable."

Imperial Physician Chen bowed to her, his eyes sincere and sincere.

"Wechen begged the queen to make a decision as soon as possible, don't let more people be infected with the plague, Wechen can't guarantee it, can this plague reach the capital......"

Zhong Xiaoshu listened, and naturally knew that if this plague spread to the capital.

And if the imperial doctor didn't have time to come up with the antidote, all the people of Xichuan might have to die, and the royal family might be gone.

She froze between her eyebrows and snorted.

"By my will, all people with fever and soldiers and normal people are isolated.

Try not to come into contact with it, just claim that it is curing the disease, and don't leak the news. ”

The second prince lowered his eyebrows when he listened, his warm eyes were a little cold, his smile gradually faded, and his brows were dyed with a solemn color.

Turning around, he took a step to pass on the will, personally arranged the transfer of the patient, and tried not to come into contact with the rest of the town.

The others were puzzled, but they didn't say anything

Things were done quickly, and there were no medical centers in the town, only one in the south of the city with its doors open.

Some herbs are better than nothing.

The infected people and soldiers all went to the hospital to get medicine, and their faces looked as if they were drunk, and the two clusters of red could not cover it.

Zhong Xiaoshu frowned, pondering that the plague was also strange, and it was even more distressing to look at them like this.

But this place is really barren, and they can't go to the imperial city, so they can only be wronged, and they can only get medicine one by one in this small medical hall.
