Chapter 469: Danger
Feng Yushan was captured by Lu Wen and others in his sleep.
Although the henchman hasn't come back yet, he shouldn't have slept, but he doesn't know what's going on tonight, he's very sleepy, and he really fell asleep when he wanted to take a nap.
This sleep, something big happened!
The news of the arrest of Feng Yushan and several officials who knew him well soon spread throughout Huai'an City.
The people don't know what's going on, but the officials can smell something wrong.
The prefects have been arrested, what a big deal!
All of a sudden, everyone in Huai'an officialdom was in danger, and they were afraid that they would also be affected.
Lu Zheng moved quickly, he came with the emperor's holy decree, and what kind of iron-blooded character, the officials in Huai'an City, big and small, did not dare to make a mistake in front of him.
Many people sent henchmen to the prefect's yamen to inquire about the situation, but all of them were blocked back.
The prefect's yamen is now like an iron bucket, except for Lu Zheng's people, outsiders can't enter at all.
You said to buy the people around Lu Zheng?
Don't be funny!
Those people only listen to Lu Zheng's orders, who dares to buy them, if they meet a good temper, they will spray your face, and if they encounter a bad temper, they will do it directly.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that people will go to Lu Zheng to complain.
When this complaint is filed, you will wait to be cleaned up!
At this time, bribing the people around Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng casually deducts some hats with intentions, which is enough for you!
Lu Zheng's side was also fast, and he didn't wait for the people below to guess for too long, so he directly led people to level the Wuma Village on Wuma Mountain and captured a number of "bandits".
However, these bandits are all gagged, is that a little strange?
These bandits are not like Feng Yushan and others, they were arrested at night, or they were taken down from the mountains in broad daylight.
Many people in Huai'an Chengli came out to see the excitement, it doesn't matter if you look at it, suddenly someone discovered, why do you seem to have a lot of familiar faces here?
After a closer look, I found that it was not an illusion, it was really an acquaintance!
God, this is said to be a "bandit" who has plagued several villages, isn't it an official in the yamen of the prefect's great prefect's mansion!
These people usually don't collect less fat and ointment, and the people of Huai'an are familiar with them, and they must not admit their mistakes!
The "bandits" in the mouth of the prefect have become official errands, if you want to say that there is nothing here, who will believe it.
No wonder I didn't know that Lord Fu was arrested by the newcomer Lord Qincha, and the co-author made his official mission a bandit!
Feng Yushan's crime is indeed not small, and the sum of several crimes is enough to sentence him to be beheaded.
When Lu Zheng tried Feng Yushan, it was a court trial, and half of the people of Huai'an City came.
There are all human and material evidence, Feng Yushan can't deny it if he wants to, and he was sentenced to beheaded by Lu Zheng on the spot.
After the verdict was completed, Lu Zheng immediately wrote a recital and played Feng Yushan's various crimes to the emperor in great detail.
I thought that after interrogating Feng Yushan and others, and figuring out the truth of the riot, the matter of Huai'an would come to an end, and he should also be ready to lead the troops back.
Na Cheng thought that at this time, something bigger happened that completely dragged him down.
Pestilence!
Originally, only a small number of people had a high fever, and later, gradually, more and more people began to have a high fever, and later, when the military doctors and doctors in Huai'an City found that the first people with fever symptoms had different degrees of erythema and ulceration on their bodies, they found that they were not good.
It's the plague!
Several doctors insisted that this was the plague.
The plague is not a minor illness that can be cured by just a few doses of medicine.
Lu Zheng immediately ordered martial law in the whole city to distinguish the patients, and ordered the doctors of the whole process to work with several military doctors to develop a prescription for the plague.
With him in charge, Huai'an City did not become chaotic, but where was the prescription for treating the plague so easy to develop?
More and more people were infected with the plague, and Lu Zheng had to write down a note, and ordered Zhou Ying, the captain of the personal guard, to send it to Yejing in person, and asked the emperor to send someone to solve the epidemic in Huai'an.
Zhou Ying took the fold and ran desperately to Yejing, killing three fast horses along the way, and finally rushed back to Yejing eight days later.
Zhou Ying received Lu Zheng's order and did not enter the city, but asked the city guard to send someone to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince.
The city guard recognized Zhou Ying, and when he saw that he was so embarrassed, how could he dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Half an hour later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought people to the gate of the city, took Zhou Ying's play, and sent someone to take Zhou Ying elsewhere to settle down first.
When the prince received the fold, he didn't dare to delay, and hurried to meet the emperor.
The plague broke out in Huai'an, Lu Zheng and Lu Wen were in Huai'an, and the prince was simply anxious.
The emperor was also anxious and angry when he received the fold, Feng Yushan's fold had just been handed back, there was a plague in Huai'an, and the northwest was about to send someone over for peace talks, at this time, the emperor didn't want Lu Zheng to have an accident more than anyone else.
There was a plague in Huai'an, and what Lu Zheng wanted was nothing more than a good doctor, good medicinal materials, and, of course, food.
It was also after the outbreak of the plague that Lu Zheng found out why Feng Yushan sent people to pretend to be bandits and rob the people.
The reduction in Huai'an's output this year is all due to the corruption of Feng Yushan and others who bought inferior grains.
Feng Yushan knew that once this matter was found out from above, he would be guilty of a capital crime, so he bothered to act in such a play, wanting to confuse the public and hide it.
But he didn't want to, this matter was broken by Lu Zheng, and he even lifted out his old bottom.
Feng Yushan had already sentenced the autumn queen to be beheaded, and after Emperor Hui received Lu Zheng's letter, he was even more angry and ordered Lu Zheng to immediately execute Feng Yushan, the country's moth.
If it weren't for Feng Yushan's selfish interests, how could he have caused this plague!
Such chaotic ministers and thieves, even if they die, they still can't understand their hatred!
But the matter has come to this, even if Feng Yushan is beheaded countless times, it will not solve the scourge of the Huai'an plague.
Emperor Hui immediately summoned his ministers to discuss how to solve the disaster in Huai'an.
The ministers discussed a lot and had different opinions, and in the end, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who invited himself to Huai'an to relieve the disaster, and this dispute subsided.
When Huai'an was in danger, the prince was able to stand up and take the initiative to take over this big trouble, but he gained a lot of goodwill.
Even Emperor Hui, who has always been unclear about the prince's attitude, is very satisfied with the prince's performance this time.
However, the identity of the prince is extraordinary, and it is unrealistic to really let the prince go to Huai'an City, and there must be an entourage.
Whoever to send, the ministers have their own opinions.
After discussing and discussing, in the end, Emperor Hui still chose the prince's suggestion, selected two young and promising generals, plus Wen Tao, the second son of Duke Wen, and went south to Huai'an with the prince as a doctor.
The epidemic situation in Huai'an was urgent, and after discussing the appropriate candidates, Emperor Hui asked the ministers to perform their duties and hurry up the arrangements.
