Jiang Ziyu stayed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing all night, listening to the imperial doctors discuss the prescription for treatment. She would have reassured those who had contracted in the camp, at least knowing that the court had not given up on them.

The next day, when Jiang Ziyu was washing, the imperial doctor who was responsible for recording the pulse of each patient suddenly ran out, with a panicked and uneasy face: "Princess, something happened, someone died." ”

Jiang Ziyu frowned, quickly rinsed his mouth and threw the water tank aside, and hurriedly entered.

"I'll go by myself, don't follow me in." Jiang Ziyu asked Zipo and the imperial doctors to stay outside the tent, and Jiang Ziyu walked in alone with a cloth covering his face.

The other sick people in the tent had been evacuated, and only the deceased had been placed in the tent under a cloth. The deceased was a woman, Jiang Ziyu first checked the pulse and found that the ancient books in the space did not respond, and then moved his hand to try it from head to toe, and as soon as he took off the woman's clothes, Jiang Ziyu found that there were heavy traces of decay under her collarbone.

Jiang Ziyu twisted his brows and put his hand up, and the ancient books in the space appeared.

"Princess, wash your hands." Zipo was holding a pot of potion, Jiang Ziyu washed his hands and turned his head to look at He Zhiqing and said: "It's sand worm venom, the blood or saliva of the first person to get this disease will be infected if it touches the skin of others." ”

He Zhiqing thought about the antidote method of sand insect poison in his mind, Jiang Ziyu looked at him and continued: "Use the Seven Immortal Grass as medicine to introduce atractylodes ginseng and other medicinal materials to see if there is any effect. ”

"But if you test the medicine like this, you need a large amount of Seven Immortal Herbs, this herb is ...... valuable," one of the imperial doctors said with some concern, Jiang Ziyu waved his hand, looked at the people who were looking at her with hope, and said, "I have the medicinal herbs, you can use them with confidence." ”

The imperial doctors nodded one after another, Jiang Ziyu washed his hands and walked out, and within a few steps outside, there were patients escorted by the forbidden army, all of whom were hiding at home and refused to come to the camp, and some of them were even full of anger on their faces.

"I'm not sick! Hurry up and let me go! ”

"You didn't bring us here to heal us, but if so, why don't you do it in the city?"

Such voices came and went, Jiang Ziyu looked at them calmly, she had also met such a person in her previous life. When she went to a city to save people, those people refused to go with her.

"Your life is your own, and you want it. But there are other uninfected people in the capital, who believe in the imperial court, and the imperial court naturally wants to protect them. Jiang Ziyu said lightly, and asked the soldiers to forcibly send people into the quarantine area.

As for the woman who died, they had already sent someone to inform the family, and they could not take the body back, so they could only cremate it at a distance.

The people who were escorted over were indignant, shouting loudly and trying to incite others to protest with him, Jiang Ziyu was silent, and at this time Zhuo Chong came over.

"Princess, the medicinal materials have been delivered."

Jiang Ziyu nodded slightly, deliberately raised his voice and said, "Let one team of soldiers spread hay in the pit, and then let another team follow me to unload the medicine." ”

Zhuo Chong cooperated with Jiang Ziyu to mobilize troops, she had already packed a large number of medicinal materials into the empty boxes prepared by Zhuo Chong in advance, and she ordered several boxes marked with Seven Immortal Grass to be moved outside the deep pit, and spread the medicinal herbs in front of the people.

"Why do you want to burn such a good medicinal herb?" Some people thought that Jiang Ziyu was angry and didn't want to save them, so they hurriedly asked.

Jiang Ziyu explained patiently: "Now that the weather is hot, the tents in the camp are dense and the air is not easy to disperse. You don't have to worry, there are many other medicines to heal you, don't worry. ”

As soon as these words came out, they calmed people's hearts, and as soon as the herbs burned, the air was filled with a faint fragrance of herbs, which made people feel a lot more at ease when they smelled it.

Jiang Ziyu took a rocking chair and looked at a few medical books borrowed from He Zhiqing, Zipo looked at her with some concern, and said in a low voice: "Princess, eat something." Yesterday I ate less, and today's breakfast is also for use, so I'm afraid my body can't stand it if I go on like this. ”

"I'm not hungry, go get some food. I don't know what happened to Nan Huaifeng in Beijing, I always feel that this is a conspiracy. Jiang Ziyu sighed, this plague came strangely, as if he came prepared.

Zi Po sighed silently in his heart, there are not many clues now, and there is no progress, I am afraid that the prince is also in a hurry.

"Yesterday, the prince asked his subordinates to find the second son of Jiang, and asked the second young master Jiang to find out what news has been reported recently. also asked Morning Star to invite the Seventh Prince, and asked the Seventh Princes to secretly investigate King Rui. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu stopped flipping through the book, sat up a little straighter, looked at Zipo and asked, "Found my second brother?" ”

"Yes. And the second son also agreed. ”

Jiang Ziyu didn't expect her second brother to agree to help, Zipo remembered it again and said: "By the way, yesterday Second Young Master Jiang said that he had asked the people of the Blood Jade Pavilion, and they never took the business in the capital, and they forgot to talk about it yesterday when there were many things." ”

"In other words, the killer of the Blood Jade Pavilion is indeed impersonating." Jiang Ziyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, got up and said, "Tell me when the family of the deceased comes to collect the ashes, I want to see them." ”

Zipo nodded, looked at the direction of the camp with a calm brow, and whispered: "Princess, most of these people are from Qianren Alley, it seems very strange. ”

"What is the Lane of a Thousand People?" Jiang Ziyu didn't hear that there is this alley in the capital, but what Zipo means is that this alley is very different?

Zipo explained in a low voice: "Most of the people living in the Thousand People Alley are outsiders, who are helpless in the capital, and they do these small business or rough work. Most of the people who lived there were poor and had nowhere to go, and the yamen's control over that area was also very lax, resulting in people of all kinds of people in the alleys. ”

Jiang Ziyu frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and pondered: "In other words, people in such a place are not willing to spend a lot of money on medical treatment even if they are sick. In that case, why did they besiege the hospital? And only around my medical center? ”

Jiang Ziyu squinted sideways and looked at the people in the camp, Zipo lowered his head and said nothing, the princess is so smart that she won't figure out these things.

In the capital, Nan Huaifeng's side is a little better than the Jiangzi Fishing Club, and because of the strict search in the capital, people suspected of being infected are sent to quarantine. And all the items were quickly destroyed, and a few people went to the Yamen Sect to report the loss of the list.

"Lord Wang, the prices of rice, fruits, and vegetables in the capital are out of control." Morning Star came back with a bad face, Nan Huaifeng frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Someone is raising the price? ”

"Yes, my subordinates have asked a lot of shops, and many of the stores have been bought out before the plague, and the supply of goods has been blocked outside the city. So at present, only one store is dominant, and the remaining small stores are in short supply. ”

Morning Star glanced at the prince with some embarrassment, hesitated for a while, and was thinking about whether to say something.

Nan Huaifeng naturally saw his embarrassment, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"My subordinates have checked, and the shopkeeper behind the only big store is the rich gentleman Wu Yi who married after leaving her mother Zhang." Even fools have seen that there must be a relationship between the shop and the plague, and the embarrassment lies on Zhang's head.

Nan Huaifeng squinted his eyes, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes: "No matter who she is, since she has done such a thing that has lost her conscience, then her sin is unforgivable." ”

Chenxing lowered his head and waited for the prince to give an order, Nan Huaifeng said lightly: "You go and take a team of people to control all of Wu Yi's shops, and take him to Dali Temple for Lu Yiting to judge." ”

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Nan Huaifeng called the cold building again and ordered: "Inform the county government to open a warehouse to sell grain at a normal price, and send some soldiers and shadow guards to the nearby city to buy some fruits and vegetables back." ”

What Nan Huaifeng lacks most is manpower, and the people mobilized now are less than one-tenth of the forbidden army, so it is not difficult for him to deal with these things. The difficult thing is that there are still people behind the scenes outside the suburbs of Beijing.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have discovered it." Yu Yang hurriedly ran in from the outside and said anxiously: "When my subordinates sent people to investigate the population of the capital, they found that there were a few outsiders, so they went to Thousand People Lane. The little beggar there told me that a few days ago, there were a few outsiders, and they didn't know how they got in when they were sick and had no identity. ”

The subordinates continued to track down and found that most of the people sent to the camp were from the alleys. The little beggar also said that the outsiders had disappeared two days before the plague. After Yu Yang finished talking about the news he had found out in one breath, Nan Huaifeng had a little joy in his eyes.

The case finally made progress, his eyebrows and eyes soothed a little, his thoughts turned several times in his heart, and he said lightly: "Except for the prohibition of open fires without approval inside and outside the capital on necessary days, those corpses will definitely not be cremated." ”

"But if it's buried, it's not easy to check." Yu Yang frowned and was thinking about what to do, Nan Huaifeng's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "You go to the city guard and ask him who has sent the corpse out of the city in the past ten days." ”

All those who are involved in the city must keep a record, even if they are the concubines and ministers of the Son of Heaven. The mass grave is in a deserted place more than ten miles away on the outskirts of Beijing, if it is not thrown into the mass grave......

"Let Liuying go to the outskirts of Beijing and ask what is wrong with the surrounding environment if you don't burn the corpse and go directly to the ground." Yu Yang was just about to call Liuying, but Nan Huaifeng shouted to him again: "Forget it, don't let Liuying go, he is young and not as tough as others." ”

"The subordinates will go to the door in person, and when they come back, they will go to the guards at the gate." Yuyang also felt that Liuying was too young for him to go to the camp.

Nan Huaifeng nodded slightly, and Yu Yang saw that he really didn't have any orders this time, so he turned around and left.

He didn't let Liuying go not only because of his young age, but also because of Jiang Ziyu's care for Liuying.

In Nan Huaifeng's spare time these days, he was always thinking about Jiang Ziyu, who was now beside him, what he had experienced in the past, her character, her skills, and her occasionally sad eyes.
