In the blink of an eye, the victims of Yiyang County have been in Hecang County for four or five days.

Looking at the victims in the corners of the streets every day, the people of Hecang County gradually adapted to these outsiders, and some bold people began to look for some children from the disaster victims, intending to buy them as servants or maidservants to raise at home.

"This lord, for five big bucks, my boy will sell you five big bucks!" On the street, a thin, short man sold his son in broad daylight.

"Five big bucks, look at your son, his face is yellow and thin, and now he can't even open his eyes, maybe I won't be able to live tonight if I buy it back, don't five big bucks cheat me!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed as a steward, and looking at his shrewd face, he was obviously bargaining.

"Then how much do you say?" The man who sold his son was so hungry that he didn't want to entangle at all, so he asked with a broken jar.

"Two big bucks!" said the steward with two fingers in an unquestioning tone.

The man turned his head to look at his son, who was already unsteady, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay!

In this way, a deal of human life was completed, and the man of the disaster victim was given the money for a meal, and the steward exchanged the least price for his master's family a servant who could be used as a cow and a horse in the future.

"Oh, what's the matter with your son, why does it stink so much!" the steward asked, pulling the crumbling child in front of him, and his face changed suddenly.

"Hey! It's all this kid who eats indiscriminately, but this morning he pulled and vomited, and there were some unclean things on his body, sir, please bear with me!" The man seemed to be afraid that the money in his hand would be returned, and he immediately licked his face and smiled.

"Bad stomach?" the steward glanced at the man suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, it's a bad stomach, you know, we're so hungry that we eat all kinds ......of grass and bark, this kid must have eaten the wrong thing, you see," the man explained.

"Okay! I'll take him to see the doctor when the time comes!" the steward grimaced, obviously feeling that he had been trapped.

The man took the money to buy food, and the steward took the child back to the mansion, and as for the doctor......

It is estimated that the steward has forgotten, or rather, the things bought by two big money, even if he dies, he will not feel distressed, after all, the cost of hiring a doctor is much more than two big money!

Seongnam Medical Center.

At this time, the door of the medical hall was closed, and Dr. Xu, who was supposed to be sitting in the medical hall, was lying on the bed dying, his breath was short, his body was hot, and he looked terminally ill.

Squeak –

A glimmer of light penetrated into the gloomy bedroom, and Dr. Xu's apprentice pushed the door and walked in, holding a bowl of black decoction at this time, looking at the master on the hospital bed with a worried face.

"Drink the medicine, Master. The apprentice endured the stench emanating from the hospital bed and handed the decoction to Dr. Xu.

Dr. Xu trembled and straightened his upper body, held up the bowl with both hands, and just took a sip, when suddenly his whole body stiffened, and he turned over, and spit out all the medicine he had just drunk with a whoop.

The apprentice seemed to have expected that when Old Doctor Xu turned over, he hid far away, and watched his master vomit the medicine again, and he finally panicked.

"Master......" the apprentice shouted in disbelief.

"Apprentice......" Old Doctor Xu looked at his apprentice, his face showed a trace of unbearability, and said intermittently, "Master's illness Master himself knows...... As you can see, this recipe is not right at all......"

"Master, what kind of illness are you!" the apprentice immediately asked with tears when he heard his master's words.

"It's ...... This is ......" Old Doctor Xu seemed to be a little out of breath, and finally, he stared at the last two words with wide eyes, "...... Plague!"

"What!" The apprentice heard the last two words that Old Doctor Xu spit out, and immediately jumped up from the ground, and rushed out of the door without looking back, leaving the old doctor's gradually cold corpse.

In the inner hall of the county office, Wu Pei was in the study to approve the official documents, and Mr. Situ, the doorman, suddenly rushed in in a hurry.

"Sir, but that thing is done?" Wu Pei had just discussed with Mr. Situ about a life-saving strategy not long ago, and now when he saw Mr. Situ, he immediately asked with expectation.

"Oh no! Disaster is coming!" Mr. Situ did not answer Wu Pei's question, but said with a panicked face.

"Sir, why are you so panicked?" Wu Pei knew that he had always been a calm guest, and since the two met, he had never seen Mr. Situ so panicked.

"There's a plague in the city!" shouted Mr. Situ.

"What?" When Wu Pei heard this, his head suddenly softened, and the whole person collapsed on the desk, and the pile of bamboo slips in front of him was pushed to the ground by him, and there was a loud noise.

Plague, this is the two words that everyone is very afraid of, all dynasties, whenever there is a plague, every city is turned into a dead area, and even the epidemic spreads very widely, implicating several counties, and the number of people who die of disease is millions!

"It's over! It's over! How can this be good!" Wu Pei was originally worried that if his collusion with Yiyang County to steal treasury silver was found by the imperial court, he would inevitably be cut in half, but now he doesn't have to worry anymore, because at the moment when the plague appeared, his life could not be saved!

The plague spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, and if you get it, you will die! There is no cure!

"County Honor, the current policy, please carve out a vacant land in the west of the city, and move all the infected people into it, so as to immunize the disease!" Mr. Situ saw that his master was actually frightened, and immediately reminded loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes, we must surround everyone and go so that the epidemic will not spread to other counties!" Wu Pei suddenly came back to his senses, as the lord of a county, he still had some courage.

"My lord, there are not enough people in the county seat, and please order the transfer of troops from the county government. At this time, Mr. Situ added.

"Troop transfer?" Wu Peileng paused, seeming to hesitate.

"My lord, we must prepare for the worst now, there are not only ordinary people in the city, but also thousands of refugees, if the situation is unstable, it must be suppressed by the army!" Mr. Situ said word by word, very seriously.

"Alas...... Wu Pei thought about it, and finally sighed and agreed to Mr. Situ's proposal.

In this way, Wu Pei asked the county government for help on the one hand, and on the other hand, arranged for the officials to clear a vacant land in the west of the city, and the county guard of Nanyang County received the news and immediately sent government soldiers, and the army arrived at dusk on the second day, and then quickly entered the city, and began to search for people suffering from epidemic diseases in the city under Wu Pei's arrangement.
