The handling of the two disasters in a row was very satisfactory, so that Qin Miaomiao relaxed herself a little, thinking that she could return to Beijing after inspecting this place in Hanyang.

She is not in a hurry to go back, but has to go back, seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, and the royal order for the new year should be issued again, so she is in a hurry to go back to Chang'an to take charge of the selection of imperial merchants, and at the end of the year, the shops and industries under her hands are waiting for her to go back to do the year-end summary and reward distribution.

The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make, this sentence is always appropriate for Qin Miaomiao, and on the first day she came to Hanyang City, Qin Miaomiao felt that the atmosphere in this city was not right.

The disaster relief rations that it and Jinrong City have successively distributed, and Jinrong City has not yet finished distributing them, but Hanyang City, which is a few days late, has already ended the drought relief.

Qin Miaomiao had seen the report of the prefect of Hanyang City, the affected area of their city was larger than that of Jinrong City, and the number of victims was much larger than that of Jinrong City, how could they complete all the ration distribution so quickly. Qin Miaomiao drew a big greeting in her heart.

The carriage slipped around the city, Qin Miaomiao told Su Mu the doubts in her heart, and Su Mu naturally felt that there must be a clue in it: "Miao Miao, you and Xiaolan exchange clothes, let her go to the mansion for you first, and you and I will secretly get off later." ”

Qin Miaomiao's itinerary was known to the prefect of Hanyang, so she left halfway, and if she wanted to find out, she had to find someone to replace her, fortunately, you, the prefect of Hanyang City, had never seen her.

Xiaolan, who was sitting on the side, heard that she was going to let herself pretend to be Qin Miaomiao, so she hurriedly hid in the corner of the carriage timidly, she wanted to refuse, but before the words could be spoken, Miao Miao spoke out first to reassure: "Xiaolan, you will be sick when you enter the mansion, no matter who asks for it, or if something happens, you don't show up, just wait for me to come back and deal with it." ”

Even so, Xiaolan still felt that she was not competent: "Madam, can I not pretend to be you?" ”

Qin Miaomiao shook her head, thought for a while and then spoke: "Xiaolan, you pretend to be in the mansion to eat and drink for two days, and I will give you double your salary next month." ”

In fact, she can follow Qin Miaomiao out to wait, and the housekeeper Lao Yang has already paid her a long salary, but if she can get double copies, she can buy more New Year's goods for the family during the New Year. Xiaolan nodded and agreed to Qin Miaomiao.

After changing their clothes, Su Mu and Qin Miaomiao picked an alley where no one was around, and secretly got out of the car.

The cause of the disaster in the city was that business was very sluggish, and there were few people on the streets who bought anything except for the vendors who set up stalls.

Su Mu and Qin Miaomiao walked all the way along the way, but they didn't see a single person, so they could only take the opportunity to buy things and talk to the hawkers.

Qin Miaomiao likes sweets, bought a pound of jujube cake, the vendor has not opened for a long time, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao, she was naturally very enthusiastic: "Girl, I'll give you one more piece, and you will come again if it's delicious." ”

Qin Miaomiao smiled and took the jujube cake, thanked again and again: "Little brother, you are so good at doing business, the business must be very good, right?" ”

At the mention of business, the hawker's triangular eyes immediately drooped: "Eh girl, look at the sky above the street, there are no people, can you be okay?" ”

Qin Miaomiao looked around and went to Su Mu's waist to get a purse, and Su Mu on the side spoke very naturally and chatted with the vendor: "Didn't the imperial court send disaster relief food a few days ago?" Why is it still so deserted on the streets, and there is no distribution for the people? ”

The hawker looked up and down, and saw that the two were dressed and a little surprised, the man's instrument was extraordinary, the brocade clothes were gorgeous, and at first glance he was a high-ranking son, and the woman was handsome, but the clothes were much shabby compared with this son, I thought the two of them were masters and servants, but their manners were a little unusual: "The two are not locals? Didn't you send it for two days more than ten days ago? It can't be sent all the time. The peddler shook his head and sighed.

Two days? It was reported that there were tens of thousands of victims, Qin Miaomiao clearly remembered that nearly 20,000 stone rations were allocated to this, how could it be distributed in two days, it seems that someone is greedy!

Of course, Su Mu also thought of this, took Qin Miaomiao's hand, and motioned for her to leave first, she was not familiar with the place, and she didn't know the details of the hawker, so she couldn't ask deeply, so as not to startle the snake.

Qin Miaomiao immediately understood, didn't ask at the moment, and left with the wrapped jujube cake.

"Miao Miao, it seems that we are only in the city, I'm afraid we can't find anything, the disaster food has been distributed for many days, if the prefect is really greedy, the evidence should have been almost destroyed, we have to go to the village and ask the victims there."

As soon as Qin Miaomiao thought of the life-saving food that the victims were waiting for, and it was squandered by those corrupt officials who were full of fat intestines, she was angry and her liver hurt, Su Mu thought exactly what she wanted to say, the two hit it off, and left the city immediately.

After walking for about ten miles, the sky was already dark, and the two found a village.

There are black houses everywhere, lined up, lying there, because it is winter, there are no villagers chatting on the village road at all.

After walking back and forth, Qin Miaomiao didn't see a single villager, so walking and talking like this would not work. Looks like you'll have to come to your door and ask.

I picked a relatively spacious courtyard and entered the door, looked around, there were no live poultry in the yard, boldly walked to the door of the main house, raised my hand and prepared to knock on the door.

The hand had just been raised, but before it fell, Su Mu stopped her movements: "Miao Miao, you go behind me." ”

Su Mu took a step forward to block in front of Qin Miaomiao, raised his hand and buckled the door panel, but no one responded for a long time.

I pushed the door, but I couldn't open it, there should be someone in the house, and I knocked it a few times, and there was another sound in the house, followed by the stabbing sound of the soles of the shoes, but the movement of the people who came was very slow, moving towards the door step by step.

The voice got closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door, and an old and gruff voice came from behind the broken wooden door: "Who is it?" ”

Su Mu pursed his lips: "We are passers-by passing here, it's getting dark, and we want to spend the night with you." ”

Before the people inside the door could speak, there were a few muffled coughs, and their voices were weak: "Hurry up, you don't want to die?" The whole village is sick and waiting to die. ”

Qin Miaomiao's heart is in a pang of heart, disasters are always accompanied by plagues, one is because they are not full of food and clothing, their physique is too poor, and diseases are easy to invade the body, and the other is that the victims have no money, and they can only stand up when they get sick, which often worsens and causes large-scale infections.

Hua Yan and Jin Rong met two parents who loved the people, and the prevention and rescue were timely, and there was no outbreak of the epidemic, and the prefect of Hanyang City was obviously a faint official, and the people also suffered from the crime and were unlucky.

Qin Miaomiao was silent for a long time, walked to Su Mu's side, and said softly: "This old man, I know some medical skills, open the door and let me take a look for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the wooden door had already been opened, and the outside was already dark, and the light in the room was even darker, and Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but be startled when he saw the appearance of the people inside.

His eyes were sunken, his cheeks were sunken, and the whole person was thin into a skeleton, with tattered clothes on his shoulders and his arms leaking out of his skin.

Qin Miaomiao looked at him, he also looked at Qin Miaomiao and Su Mu, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Are you Langzhong?" Do you need money to see a doctor? ”

At first, when they were sick, they also went to Langzhong, but no one came without money, and in the end, the illness became more and more serious.

Seeing a person thin into eyelids, Qin Miaomiao was furious in her heart, pulled the wood away, and rushed into the house: "What money do you want, don't want money." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Miaomiao had already walked into the house with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and Su Mu followed closely behind her.

Just the cyan light outside the window, I could see in front of me that there was a woman and several children lying on the wooden bed in the room, the children were big and small, the eldest was in his teens, and the younger one was lying there less than three feet long.

Su Mu, who was following her, was slightly wrinkled by the smell in the house, and the musty smell was mixed with a strong fishy smell, which made his head hurt, while Qin Miaomiao seemed to have lost his sense of smell, and regardless of the mess, he squatted on the side of the wooden bed, holding the woman's hand, and checking his pulse.

With a serious look, he opened his mouth for a while: "High fever and chills, diarrhea does not stop." ”

Putting down the woman's hand, and mentioning the children to check the pulse, the result was the same, not a serious epidemic, but dysentery, if it was treated in time, it would not have died at all.

Ban Yu stood up and asked the man behind him, "Is the rest of the village suffering from this disease?" ”

The man nodded: "It's all like this, almost all men, women and children have it." ”

Qin Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "Wait for me." Wait until I bring the medicine tomorrow. ”

After saying that, she took Su Mu's hand and left, they rushed back tonight, she remembered that there was a medicinal herb shop in the city that was her own, and she prepared medicine tonight, and she should be able to come early tomorrow morning.

Walking to the door, Qin Miaomiao turned back and stuffed the jujube cake in her hand to the man: "You all wait for me, hold on all night, I will bring medicine over tomorrow morning, wait for me!" ”

Qin Miaomiao said it to the man, and she was also saying it to the people in the village.

When the night passed, Qin Miaomiao and Su Mu rushed back to the city, she didn't know which street the medicinal herb shop was on, she could only find it on the same street as Su Mu, and the street was door-to-door, and her shop was almost all under the name of Yongxing Commercial Bank, so the plaque had the logo of Yongxing Commercial Bank.

finally lived up to the painstaking people and let Qin Miaomiao find the pharmacy.

The door panel slammed into the sky, and it took a long time for a small guy to yawn and open the door, without opening his eyes, and scolded: "Dead? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night. ”

Qin Miaomiao's face was gloomy, and she ripped off the jade pendant on her waist and held it up in front of the little girl: "Go and ask your shopkeeper to come to see me, if you come late, you will all get out of this shop for me tomorrow." ”

The little girl didn't know anyone, but she knew the jade pendant in Qin Miaomiao's hand, the logo of the firm at that time, there was a piece of the Lin Medicine box, and she had a piece, and the shopkeepers in the shop under the name of Yongxing Commercial Bank all knew this jade pendant.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the shopkeeper in the shop to come to Qin Miaomiao at a trott, nodding his head: "The big shopkeeper is here."
