Chapter 269: Fourteen children in Baoji City
As soon as Zhu Amber said this, Xu Jingyi was so excited that he almost jumped out and hurriedly asked.
Lu Mingci coughed lightly, this Xu Jingyi did not lose his proportion.
Zhu Amber is actually a reason to make up, wanting to push a group of brocade guards to the highest point of morality, but now she is being asked by Xu Jingyi, this is obviously not good.
"It's true, it's just that no one is willing to escort me and the doctor to find my sister's whereabouts now, I thought that Jinyiwei was the commander of the Son of Heaven, and he was a little bold, but he didn't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head now."
As soon as Zhu Amber said this, Xu Jingyi stood up directly.
"Girl, I don't know if others will go or not, but I, an old arm and legs, have the strength to do it! Take me with you, and I can show you the way. ”
Speaking of this, a few more people stood up and saluted Lu Mingci and Zhu Amber.
"Lord Qianhu, girl, we are willing to go too."
Zhu Amber was very satisfied when she saw these people, and thought that if she brought too many brocade guards, it would cause unnecessary trouble, and it was best like this now.
"Your Excellency." Zhu Hongyu looked at Lu Mingci seriously, "What are you going to do?" ”
Lu Mingci glanced at the few people who stood up, but they were all people who could be trusted, and they had never made any mistakes under him.
"Alright, Amber, I'll tell you about this mission. You take them to Guanzhong to Chang'an and then to Liangzhou to find people, all the way. I believe that Zhu Hongyu is trapped in the city and can't wait. If she hadn't had an accident, she would have contacted the local officials, and you would have asked city by city. When you find someone, bring them back immediately. After paying homage to the emperor, he followed her to treat the sick. ”
Everyone also understood the meaning of Lu Mingci, and Xu Jingyi especially understood.
Lu Mingci saw that there was no leader among the people, so he pointed at Xu Jingyi.
"I see that so many Jinyi guards can't do it without a leader, I know that you listen to this girl's deployment, but you Xu Jingyi has the final say on how to do things, in the end, I hope you will give me a safe and sound return." A lot of silver said, Xu Jingyi, you have done this 100 households, I am lacking a position of a deputy 1000 households. For the rest of you, I'll give you priority to promotion, and I'll give me a closer look this time. ”
The people who just stood up are a little lucky, this kind of good thing is rare in a century. In Jinyiwei, it is difficult to rise without a little relationship.
Since Lu Mingci told them so, the promotion matter probably couldn't run, and they were happy precisely because of this incident.
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone thanked Lu Mingci together, and Lu Mingci turned his gentle gaze to Zhu Amber.
Needless to say, he is familiar with these brocade guards, and naturally the one he is most afraid of now is Zhu Amber, who is out of tolerance for the first time.
"Amber, you haven't been my female official for a long time, if I didn't have to stay in Bianjing to support the scene, I would have gone to find someone myself this time. You and the doctor should be careful, you must be careful on weekdays. One is to protect his personal safety, and the other is that this doctor is a medical family, and don't tell others his identity. Remember to return immediately. If your sister can't find it, you can find it again after the New Year, but if you can't catch up with the emperor's court, your family and the doctor will be doomed. ”
When Zhu Amber heard the word "finished", she felt cold.
Lu Mingci didn't threaten her, obviously this is the truth.
"Lord Lu, you have the grace of reinvention for me! Guaranteed to be back on time! ”
After saying this, Lu Mingci stood up and patted Zhu Amber on the shoulder, as if he was his subordinate, very intimate.
"Okay, it's not early, I decided to go and find someone to go back tonight to pack up my things, and the waist card will use Jinyiwei's waist card to enter and exit. If you don't want to go to Guanzhong to find people today, keep your mouth shut. If I hear a sentence about the eldest sister of the Zhu family leaving Ganzhou, I will kill you. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone dispersed, and Zhu Amber's tiredness was on the table. She didn't know what she should do now, and looked at Lu Mingci blankly, hoping that Lu Mingci could give her a little more help at this time.
But obviously, Lu Mingci felt that Zhu Amber had already left the school.
"Amber, do you have anything else?"
Seeing Amber's wandering appearance, Lu Mingci asked softly.
Amber opened her mouth slightly, trying to say something, but suddenly forgot the words.
"I don't know ......"
"What don't you know?"
Lu Mingci looked at Zhu Amber suspiciously, for fear that this girl would have something wrong at this juncture, she had at least had a major accident in front of him.
"I'm afraid that I can't do well, I don't know where my sister is now, and I have never led Jinyiwei. I can't convince the public is the first, and I still take the doctor with me......"
It's as if Runye's pronoun has become a "doctor", and only Runye, Zhu Amber, and Lu Mingci know the doctor's true identity.
Lu Ming crossed his waist, didn't he worry about this matter?
"This is something your sister did, so you have to let your family end up on its own, right?"
Zhu Amber nodded in embarrassment, and Lu Mingci was right.
"Alright, you can go to bed early today." After speaking, Lu Mingci impatiently snatched the door out.
He's now on the verge of collapse.
The Zhu family is the purpose of his mission, and so is Runye.
If something happens to both families, it will inevitably implicate him.
Lu Mingci has seen this kind of accountability again and again, but he didn't tell Zhu Amber.
Zhu Amber walked back to her room in disappointment, she didn't know what to do to satisfy Lu Mingci.
Sitting in the inner room watching the candlelight all night, trying her best to put herself to sleep, but again and again, Zhu Amber, who tried her best to put herself to sleep, woke up in her sleep.
Can't sleep, insomnia.
She's only fourteen years old......
At the same time, in Baoji City, the galaxy is full of stars, quiet and weird.
In the darkness of the night, a group of people were like bats in the night, pushing carts to carry the stinking corpses on the ground to the carts.
This activity can only be carried out at night, because Baoji City during the day is the real ghost town.
People gathered in the sun, mourning everywhere, and the smell of corpses made people unable to open their eyes.
Zhu Hongyu couldn't remember how much silver she had taken out, and she went to contact people with smallpox and asked them to endure severe pain to dispose of the dead bodies.
One penny, you can buy a human life, and this money is the life-saving money for their wives and children.
In this city, human life is the least valuable.
Zhu Hongyu has only two requirements: to bury the bodies of family members deeply, and to burn all the dead without family members.
Truckload after cart after car, they could not completely bury the corpses, and Zhu Hongyu's practice of ordering the burning of the entire family of dead people was also criticized.
There were many people who resisted, but they had no way to do it.
Zhu Hongyu has "divine power" in her hands, which is a way to prevent healthy people from getting sick, and it is a kind of divine power that can only prevent healthy children, so no one dares to disobey Zhu Hongyu.
From the time Zhu Hongyu announced that she had a "goddess" in her hand to prevent smallpox from infecting the boys and girls in the city, it was only four or five days now.
The family held the child to "plant beans", and in the end, only fourteen people were selected, and there were originally only seven.
The day after Ya'er's pox, the fourteen children were admitted to the mansion where Zhu Hongyu was.
Four days have passed now, and one of the fourteen children has a small pox rash, and four have not.
Zhu Hongyu knew very well that she could move on to the next stage of work.
At the right time, it was late at night, it was the middle of the night when Zhu Amber had insomnia, and Zhu Hongyu's technique of using cowpox beans was basically mature.
Jin Yuanjing and Zhu Hongyu scrubbed the body of a feverish child, and the two of them didn't say a word.
After finishing the work, Jin Yuanjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the last one, right? The last one to have a breakout? ”
Zhu Hongyu threw the dirty cloth into the basin, and could see all kinds of iron needles on the table.
In the past few days, Zhu Hongyu has been running all over Baoji City, and finally found a skilled blacksmith to create a set of "ancient needle tubes".
In fact, Zhu Hongyu didn't want to do this, because this kind of needle is very unclean, and it also costs a lot of money.
But after seeing the case of failed bean planting, Zhu Hongyu was still ruthless and built the needle.
I thought of planting beans for the blacksmith, but this guy is not afraid of death, not to mention that he has seen a lot of this kind of goddess's tricks, he has never been sick in his life, and he is not afraid of death.
As a result, when Zhu Hongyu wanted to make another batch of needles, she got the news of the blacksmith's death.
"Yes, it seems that this kid has a good physique, and the last one has a pox. Let's go find forty-nine more children tomorrow and put them all home, and our reputation will be fine. ”
"It's not just that there is no problem." Jin Yuanjing said with a smile, "Do you know what the biggest problem is today?" This time, we are definitely at the same level as the immortals and saints in those temples. ”
Jin Yuanjing felt that since Zhu Hongyu received the children's beans from the day after they planted, their reputation had exploded.
"You forgot, you still pay for the corpses to be disposed of?"
Zhu Hongyu sighed, she had no choice but to do this.
"If all the people in this city die, who are we going to plant beans for? Besides, I paid for them to bury the dead bodies in order to make the environment in the city better, otherwise they would not be able to eat. In case of another plague, we must be cool. ”
Since planting beans, Jin Yuanjing feels that every word Zhu Hongyu says is right, and even the truth.
Looking at Zhu Hongyu's eyes, it was like looking at Yuanjun.
Yuanjun is the general name of Taoism for goddesses and immortals, and Jin Yuanjing often says to Zhu Hongyu: Yu Yuanjun is an honorific title.
"Then tomorrow when you send these children out, just let them go?"
Jin Yuanjing looked at Zhu Hongyu with some uncertainty, his eyes rolling, as if he had other plans.
Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, what else is there to do? They can only be let go.
"yes, how else?"
Jin Yuanjing pointed to the lying child and said, "I think it's better for them to go around the city, holding a water purification kettle in their hands, sprinkling water or something." ”
Sprinkling?
It's a shame that Jin Yuanjing can come up with such a ceremonial thing.
