Chapter 045: There Will Be Demons (5)
There was silence in Hecang County under the remnant sun, and a lonely boat slowly floated down from the upper reaches of the footwater, stopped on the unmanned dock, and then a slender figure walked down from the boat.
"Do you want to find someone first, or do things first?"
Red Sleeves tidied up his long skirt that was pleated because of the boat, looked at the mountains on the other side of the river, and looked at the county seat not far away, and finally walked lightly in the direction of the county seat.
After not taking a few steps, Red Sleeves suddenly dodged behind an abandoned stall, and then saw a group of government soldiers holding Changge slowly walking from the side of the road and heading towards the city gate.
Red Sleeves saw this group of government soldiers, her face suddenly changed, she quietly followed behind this group of government soldiers, saw these soldiers came to the city gate, and then separated two people to guard the city gate.
Redsleeves thought for a moment, then slowly retreated away from the city gates.
Late at night, Wu Pei dragged his tired body back to the county office.
Since Zhang Shuo came, seven or eight days have passed, and the plague in the city has not only not spread, but has a tendency to subside, and today Wu Pei entered the camp to inspect and found that most of the victims in the camp were no different from ordinary people.
"You are Wu Pei, the county magistrate of Hecang County?"
Just when Wu Pei pushed open the door and was about to light the oil lamp, a soft voice suddenly came from the dim room, this sound made Wu Pei's heart jump out of fright, he opened his mouth to shout, but a soft hand had already grabbed his neck.
"The concubine is asking you, is it the county order of Hecang County?"
Behind Wu Pei, the soft voice asked slowly again, the voice had already touched his neck, making his hairs stand on end!
"Yes! That's right!" Wu Pei didn't dare to move at this time, so he could only tremble and say, "Contemptible...... The contemptible person is the county magistrate of Hecang County. ”
"Wu Pei......" the voice said unhurried like a cat playing with a mouse, "The concubine asked you, did you write the letter to Guangyuan by yourself?"
After Wu Pei heard this, his whole body stiffened, and then he asked in disbelief, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but you are under General Shi's command?"
"Yes and what, no...... So what?" the voice did not affirm, nor did it negate.
Wu Pei was originally an old fritter in officialdom, how could he not understand the deep meaning of this sentence? So he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of a smile on his face, and said in a flattering tone, "Now that the traitor is in control of the dynasty, the chaos of Dazheng is repeated, and General Shi can stand up, carry out great righteousness, and do great things, Wu is really admired in his heart, although Wu is in a humble position, he also has the ambition to serve the country, so after hearing that General Shi is in a bad position, he immediately submitted a letter to show his attachment......"
Red Sleeves rolled her eyes behind Wu Pei, she listened to Wu Pei's string of words that were obviously sycophants, and felt that she was opening her eyes, so she tightened her hand and immediately held Wu Pei's next sycophant in her throat.
"Don't talk nonsense! I ask you! What are the officers and soldiers in the city?" asked Redsleeves with a cold face.
As soon as Wu Pei heard this, he knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency, don't misunderstand, these soldiers are not here for Your Excellency, but to suppress the plague that has appeared in the city. ”
"Plague?" Red Sleeves was startled, she took advantage of the night to climb into the city from the city wall, all the way directly to the county office, so she didn't know anything about the situation in the county, so she said in a panic, "What you said is true? If you dare to lie to me, be careful that I break your neck!"
"What Wu said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone in the city casually, if there is a lie, Wu will definitely die a good death!" Wu Pei felt a chill in his neck at this time, and immediately replied with an oath.
It's no wonder that Red Sleeves didn't get any news all the way from Guangyuan, in order to avoid panic in the county, the Taishou of Nanyang County immediately summoned several county commanders in the jurisdiction while sending troops, and while carefully preventing the spread of the plague, he also concealed it from the people in the county.
Red Sleeves originally avoided the government, and rarely went ashore from the boat all the way, so it was strange that he could get news.
"Your Excellency don't worry, although there is a plague in the county, but a few days ago a miracle doctor surnamed Zhang came, it is rumored that the immortals have passed on the law, and there is an ancestral method of curing the epidemic, and now the plague in the city is no longer to worry. As if feeling the panic of the red sleeves, Wu hurriedly said.
"The divine doctor surnamed Zhang?" Red Sleeves rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered an interesting person, so he asked, "But the one surnamed Zhang Mingshuo?"
"Yes, it is Zhang Shuo Zhang Divine Doctor, I didn't expect Your Excellency to have heard of the reputation of this divine doctor. Wu Pei replied with a smile.
In that case, the concubine went to the city for a walk. Red Sleeves withdrew the jade hand that was pinching Wu Pei's neck, and said slowly, "But ...... If the concubine finds out that you have a lie, no matter where you are hiding, she will take your head!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Wu understood. When Wu Pei heard this, he immediately nodded desperately and replied.
The red sleeves slowly retreated into the darkness, Wu Pei stood motionless in place, and after about a cup of tea, he finally made sure that the person behind him had left, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, and when he came to his senses, he found that his back was already soaked!
Late at night, most people had fallen asleep, but the camp was still in full swing.
A few days ago, Zhang Shuo instructed the sixth team to dig a large pit in the southeast corner of the camp, which was specially used to store garbage and excrement.
"This little brother, may I ask, where does Doctor Zhang live?"
A member of the team who was in charge of adding firewood was about to go to the fire with hay, but a bewitching woman in a red dress suddenly appeared next to him, which immediately startled him.
Zhang ...... Doctor Zhang...... "This young man obviously saw such a beautiful woman for the first time, and he stammered with a red face, "He...... Isn't it in the soup kitchen...... That street corner?"
"Oh?" asked the woman, covering her mouth and chuckling, "where is the soup kitchen?"
"Just ......" The young man saw the woman's smile, and was immediately fascinated that he couldn't find the north, and he said the place of soup kitchen in great detail, without thinking about it at all - why did the woman appear in the camp of the disaster camp, but he didn't know where the soup kitchen was?
The moonlight was cold, and under the moonlight, the street seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver frost, and a bewitching figure slowly appeared in front of a slightly old wooden door.
Red Sleeves stood outside this ordinary room, sighing a little, I'm afraid no one thought that a miracle doctor who could cure the plague would live in such a place
