Chapter 102 - The Spread of the Plague

Duan Qingming stretched out her hand slightly, signaling that Imperial Doctor Zhou didn't need to be polite:

"Imperial Physician Zhou is an old acquaintance of his father, and he can be regarded as Qingming's uncle, so he really doesn't need such a big gift. I have just heard about Erdanziniang's matter, and I hope that Doctor Zhou will tell me what the situation is now! ”

Imperial Physician Zhou's expression was very solemn, he glanced at Duan Qingming, who was only ten years old, who was sitting at the top, and extremely complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. I only heard him sigh, and then said:

"The mother of this Erdanzi was originally working in Zhuangzi, but when she went back last night, she felt unwell, and she went back to the west early this morning. Therefore, the old man has reason to believe that this epidemic is likely to be spread in this Zhuangzi, so I implore the eldest lady that from now on, she must not leave this Zhuangzi, and all the slaves must not leave until the epidemic is lifted! ”

The mother of this Erdanzi turned out to be working in Zhuangzi? Moreover, just when the illness occurred only one night, he died of illness?

Duan Qingming was slightly stunned for a moment, as if something flashed quickly in her heart, but when she wanted to capture it, there was nothing!

Duan Qingming's expression also became solemn, she thought about it, and then asked:

"Imperial Doctor Zhou, I want to know, what are the symptoms of this Erdanzi's mother before she dies?" But all plagues have certain symptoms, and Imperial Doctor Zhou is far from famous, and he has been upright all his life, and he will never take it out of context, and after his diagnosis, it must not be

Imperial Physician Zhou apparently had a deep understanding of the plague. He retracted and replied:

"I had a fever all over my body, and I had a red rash all over my body, and the rash broke as soon as I touched it, and yellow water flowed out! And it's contagious! ”

Duan Qingming's face revealed an incomprehensible deep color - red rash, fever, yellow water, contagious? This is indeed all the characteristic of the plague recorded in the book. But where did the plague come from? Is it really from Zhuangzi? These are really remarkable!

Duan Qingming took a slight breath and secretly tightened her palms in her sleeves, it seems that if it is really a plague, this problem is really serious!

In the air, there was a burst of suffocation, oppressing everyone breathlessly, Duan Qingming was silent for a long time, and then asked again:

"I would like to ask the Imperial Doctor, in addition to the plague, there may be other diseases, can there be this symptom...... Or is it some kind of poison? ”

After a slight pause, Duan Qingming said:

"After all, Imperial Physician Zhou also knows that although this plague is terrible, there are not many people who can kill people overnight!"

Duan Qingming asked this with the last glimmer of hope. The term "plague" was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that she preferred it to be another disease, or another disease—after all, the plague spread fast, but it was the first time she had heard of it killing people overnight!

Imperial Physician Zhou thought about it, but quickly denied Duan Qingming's words. He shook his head:

What the eldest lady said is also in the medical book, but there are no examples. Therefore, according to the cause of Erdanzi's mother, it can be determined that it is the plague! ”

Duan Qingming was suddenly a little disappointed, she nodded "oh":

"I will follow the words of the imperial physician and tell the people in the Zhuangzi not to walk around. I also bothered to ask the imperial doctor to help them diagnose and treat them one by one to see if anyone was infected with this case! In addition, I also ask Dr. Zhou to find a cure as soon as possible to relieve the patient's predicament! ”

When Imperial Physician Zhou heard this, he hurriedly responded:

"Miss, please rest assured, it is the duty of a doctor to treat patients, and the old man will definitely seek a cure as soon as possible to cure the pain of patients!"

The matter has come to this point, let the people in the village stop moving, this is the best way, and while Imperial Doctor Zhou was talking, Uncle Xu's wife ran in in a panic, and when she saw Uncle Xu at first glance, she pulled her throat and shouted:

"Oh no, the old Yao Tou in the east of the village was also infected after going back last night, and now, it's no longer good!"

After listening to Uncle Xu's wife's words, Imperial Physician Zhou hurriedly said goodbye to Duan Qingming:

"I'm going to rush to check it out, and I'll go back and help the people in Zhuangzi diagnose and treat!"

Duan Qingming nodded:

"There's Dr. Su Zhou!"

After speaking, he ordered Xia Cao'er to send Imperial Doctor Zhou out! Imperial Physician Zhou went, and the stewards Xu Bo and Xu Liang also went out, and when they walked to the gate of the village, Xu Bo and Xu Liang separated under the pretext of some reason. Seeing Xu Liang walking away, Uncle Xu's wife stepped forward and whispered to Uncle Xu:

"Old man, do you think this thing goes on like this, is it reliable?"

Xu Bo glanced back at the house where Duan Qingming lived, and the light in his eyes became dull and dull, and then, he said gloomily:

"If she dies, she will naturally be reliable!"

The group all retreated, and only silence remained!

As soon as Imperial Physician Zhou went out, Duan Qingming said to Mama Ning with a serious expression:

"Mama, you call Tie Feng, bring a few people, and search all the bodies of these people we brought, including their belongings, remember, suspicious, recently rewarded by the above, or sachets and other things, all of them have been clearly shown to me...... Also, you go and inquire again, what does Erdanzi's mother do in Zhuangzi. Last night, when did you go back, who did you meet, what did you do, and who did you talk to during this day...... And that old Yao Tou, what does he do, who have he come into contact with in the past few days, what things have he eaten, and so on. You have to check them all out for me! ”

Mama Ning answered "yes", and just wanted to go out, Duan Qingming confessed again:

"Also, that Ding'er, you have to watch people closely, when searching her, you don't need to be too serious, just go through the motions!"

This Ding'er, Duan Qingming is still useful, but he can't be abolished at this time! Or maybe she was aware of something. Therefore, this superficial work has to be done sufficiently!

In the end, Duan Qingming said softly: "Mama Ning, there is one more thing, you secretly help me call the sister-in-law Di in this Zhuangzi, I have something to hand over to her!" ”

Mama Ning nodded hurriedly:

"Okay, when I pass by, I'll secretly inform Sister-in-law Di!"

Sister-in-law Di, who was originally a girl in the house, was previously favored by Duan Zheng and wanted to be accepted as a concubine, but later, she was assassinated by Liu Rong and almost died, and in the end, it was Mrs. Ding Rou who secretly rescued her and sent her to Zhuangzi! It's a dead person! The day before yesterday, I heard that the eldest lady came to Zhuangzi and came to visit in the middle of the night, and when she mentioned Liu Rong, she still gritted her teeth with hatred!

Mama Ning thought for a moment before she asked carefully:

"Little Miss, although that sister-in-law Di is Aunt Liu's enemy, she was also a person that the master fell in love with, and the old slave felt that this kind of person was used as the best, but she couldn't let her see any clues!"

Duan Qingming looked at Mama Ning and smiled coldly:

"What I want her to do is very simple, and I will tell her that once this thing is done, Liu Rong will not die, and half of her life will be over, Mama thinks, will she do it?"

Hatred and interests are always the most important factors for people to be willing to go forward, Duan Qingming believes that whether this sister-in-law Di really hates Liu Rong or pretends to want to be loyal, it doesn't hurt. Because, what Duan Qingming asked her to do was just a void, but the real back was in Duan Qingming's hands!

Regardless of whether this plague is true or not, it has already caused fear right now, so Duan Qingming must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to minimize the loss and people's fear!

After listening to Duan Qingming's words, Mama Ning responded carefully again, and then bowed her head and retreated!

Mama Ning had many questions in her heart, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask these questions, all she had to do was to do whatever Duan Qingming had to explain, and then worry about Duan Qingming to the greatest extent!

Seeing Mama Ning going out, Duan Qingming beckoned again, called Xia Cao'er, and told her to find Xiao Rong!

Xiao Rong, the last time Bai Yuanhao saw the crying little girl at the gate of Duan Qingming's courtyard, now she is just a handyman girl, but she is the little girl picked up by Mrs. Ding Rou. is usually responsible for helping Duan Qingming explore the wind or something. This time, considering that it was the first time to come to Zhuangzi, Duan Qingming brought her with him. And the place where she lives is next door to Ding'er, so it's convenient to monitor Ding'er nearby!
