When he stopped the carriage and went to the inn at night, Fu Yao kept holding Sheng Yunzhi's hand tightly and deliberately showed it to Cheng Yu.

"What are you always pulling me for? I'm not going to run away. Sheng Yunzhi walked for a while and couldn't help asking.

"You are my wife, I can pull it if I want."

Sheng Yunzhi leaned in front of Fu Yao: "Jealous again?"

"Nope."

"Still say no? Just look at your expression. ”​

Saying that, Sheng Yunzhi stood on tiptoe, and the dragonfly stuck to Fu Yao's lips like water, and took it back in just a moment.

"Gone?"

"No, don't go too far."

"I wonder what Madame said excessively—what?"

"No, nothing." Sheng Yunzhi stopped talking.

Soon the group arrived at the inn, and after choosing a room, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After entering the room, Fu Yao locked the door from the inside and hugged Sheng Yunzhi directly, Sheng Yunzhi leaned against the door and couldn't move.

"Fu Yao, my shoulder still hurts, don't ......"

"I know. Don't worry, I won't mess around, I just want to hug you for a while. ”​

"What's wrong?"

Fu Yao was a little reluctant in his heart, Sheng Yunzhi was whipped for him, lost the county lordship, and stabbed himself in the shoulder in order to come to Pangzhou with him, he really owed Sheng Yunzhi too much.

"It's okay, go to sleep." Saying that, Fu Yao let go of Sheng Yunzhi and went to clean up the mattress.

In the dead of night, people are gradually falling asleep.

"Hmm...... Who are you...... Let go of my ......"

"Don't come here......"

"Don't ...... Don't ......"

Fu Yao muttered something in his mouth, then opened his eyes in horror and sat up. It's just that Fu Yao was still shocked, and his face was sweating.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yunzhi also woke up when he heard Fu Yao's voice, "Have a nightmare?"

"Hmm."

Sheng Yunzhi wiped the sweat on Fu Yao's face with his sleeve, hugged him, and said, "Is it because you haven't rested recently?" Don't be afraid, dreams are fake. ”​

"Perhaps. Okay, lie down and sleep, and we'll continue on our way tomorrow. ”​

"Okay."

After lying down, Sheng Yunzhi quickly fell asleep. It's just that Fu Yao still can't forget that dream, he feels that it is too real, he seems to be in the scene just now, and he has no strength to fight back at all.

Fu Yao had no sleep all night.

But fortunately, in the next few days, Fu Yao didn't have that dream anymore, and gradually he stopped caring.

Five days later, the carriage drove into the territory of Pangzhou.

As soon as I entered Pangzhou, there was an indescribable smell in the air, and the people on the street were also very panicked.

"Xiaguan Cui Lin meets all the adults." Seeing Fu Yao and them coming, Cui Lin hurriedly came out to greet them.

"You're welcome, Lord Cui." Fu Yao replied.

After a while, several people gathered around when they heard the commotion, and then more and more people also gathered.

The people knew that it was from the imperial court, and they begged for explanations, and the scene was difficult to control for a while. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers of the county government to stop them, the people would have already started with Fu Yao and them.

Zhou Sui always wanted to say something, but the movement below was too big, and he couldn't keep talking at the top of his throat, so he didn't speak.

Cui Lin kept maintaining order below, but none of the people listened, and they kept shouting.

"Everyone, be quiet."

In the end, Sheng Yunzhi shouted, and the people finally stopped and looked at Sheng Yunzhi one after another.

"Who are you, where did you come from? What about the people of the Shao Chong royal family?" There were still people in the crowd who were not convinced by Sheng Yunzhi and raised questions.

"I ......" Sheng Yunzhi didn't know what to say, she was no longer the county lord, and what identity could she represent Shao Chong.

"Everyone." Fu Yao saw that Sheng Yunzhi was in a difficult situation and hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege, "I am the commander of the guards in the palace of Shaochong Palace, and I have come to Pangzhou to check on the order of the king." ”

After Fu Yao finished speaking, he took Sheng Yunzhi's hand: "This is the wife of the lower and the younger sister of the king." ”

Subsequently, Fu Yao introduced Cheng Yu and Zhou Sui respectively.

"Now everyone can see the sincerity of the king."

When the people heard that Sheng Lianshuo had sent the best physician and the concubine of the Taishi, they stopped arguing for the law and obediently shut their mouths.

"Now please go back first, don't go out for the time being if you don't have anything important. Later, I will send people to go door-to-door to check on you and dispense medicines. Zhou Sui saw that the people were no longer noisy, and hurriedly spoke.

The people were tormented and frightened by the epidemic, so they naturally listened to Zhou Sui's words very much, and they all went home and closed their doors.

"Master Cui, can you explain the situation in Pangzhou first?" When the people dispersed, Fu Yao remembered the purpose of this trip and hurriedly asked.

"My lord, it was only confirmed that there was an epidemic in this Pangzhou about half a month ago. In the past, only the people were infected with the wind cold, and they were relatively scattered, and it was not surprising that the people were infected with the wind cold in winter, so there was no suspicion that it was an epidemic. However, I later heard that the people who were infected with the wind and cold did not get better after taking medicine, and soon died mysteriously, and more and more people had coughs and fevers, which attracted the attention of the doctors. ”​

"So, this epidemic has been going on for a long time?" Zhou Sui had a headache after hearing this, and if the epidemic was not discovered in time, it would bring great trouble to the treatment.

"Yes. But doctors in Pangzhou still don't dare to determine whether this is an epidemic or not. ”​

"What do you mean?"

"If it is an epidemic, it will inevitably infect relatives in the family, but the disease has spread so strangely that some people who have never been in contact with the sick person also get sick, and some people who have been staying with the sick person have no symptoms."

"This ......" Zhou Sui thought about it, although it was strange, it was not inexplicable, after all, the physique between people is different, or this epidemic is not simply transmitted from person to person. However, there must be a reasonable reason for raising such a question, and it cannot be denied without real evidence.

"Why don't you take us to see the corpses of the sick and dead people first?" Sheng Yunzhi also felt that there was some truth in Doctor Pangzhou's suspicions.

"No, you go back to the inn first." Fu Yao told Sheng Yunzhi on the way that he would stay in the inn after coming to Pangzhou and not be able to contact the patient, and Sheng Yunzhi also agreed that Fu Yao would take her.

"That's right, you can go back to the inn, looking at corpses is not for you." Cheng Yu also opened his mouth to persuade.

It's just that Sheng Yunzhi came here, how could she go back to the inn easily, she also wanted to see what key information was missing, so it was impossible for her to leave if she was killed.

"Master Cui, you don't want the people of Pangzhou to be terrified every day, but I have studied "Hundred Poisons" and "Miscellaneous Epidemics" or something, maybe I can help you. And there will always be one more way to have one more person, as the saying goes, this 'fool must have one out of a thousand thoughts', so why don't you bring the little girl with you, it should be regarded as a way out of the way. ”

"This ......" Cui Lin looked at Fu Yao, after all, among these people, Fu Yaoguan was relatively large, and he didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

"Nope." Fu Yao's attitude was very resolute.

Sheng Yunzhi saw that Fu Yao still disagreed, and used the method of that day to take off the hairpin on his head and aim it at his chest.

"If you don't agree, I'll stab you."

But Fu Yao didn't dare to touch Sheng Yunzhi like the group of guards, and Fu Yao pulled the hairpin out of Sheng Yunzhi's hand.

"You still want to threaten me?"

"I don't care, I'm going. If you lock me up in the inn, I can kill myself if I find anything, even if I take everything away, I can hit the wall, and if you don't, you tie me up, I ......."

"Okay, what you've been thinking about all day, you can't think of anything serious, suicide is quite a set."

"And you agreed?"

"Hmm. But you have to keep a foot away from the corpse, you know?"

"I know, I know, I listen to Commander Fu." Saying that, Sheng Yunzhi took Fu Yao's arm, "Let's go." ”

"Yes, the lower official will lead the way."

Cui Lin took Fu Yao and them to the county government's Yizhuang, that is, the place where the corpses were temporarily housed, and as soon as they entered, they could see a row of corpses lying on the ground.

"These were just shipped this morning, and they haven't had time to be buried yet, so you can take a look."

Zhou Sui put on a veil, squatted next to one of the corpses, and slowly lifted the white cloth covering it.

Sheng Yunzhi tried her best to look over there, but she was pulled by Fu Yao, so she couldn't see anything.

Zhou Sui examined the body and found nothing wrong, it seemed that he died of the epidemic.

"Judging from the corpse alone, there really is nothing wrong with it. It's better to go back and wait for their news. ”​

"Okay, then I'll trouble Doctor Zhou."

After returning, Zhou then summoned the doctors who had gone to the people's homes to inquire about the situation.

According to them, after the infection, the patient will have different degrees of cough and fever, which is indeed a phenomenon of epidemic.

But the patients, without exception, no matter what medicine they drank, were not cured. In addition, they also found a problem: all the patients did not survive the ten days, and after contracting the disease, they must die within ten days.

In addition, they also felt the patient's pulse, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

This is strange, if this is just an ordinary wind chill, how can it affect so many people, and it is extremely dangerous.

But if it is a plague, it is impossible for the people to die after being infected with the disease. Although this epidemic is difficult to cure, the doctors have experience in treating the epidemic, and the predecessors have also left books, so that not a single patient can be cured.

"Could it be poisoning?"

Sheng Yunzhi thought carefully about the books she had read before, what kind of poison would have this symptom after eating, but she didn't remember that there was such a poison.

"No, they've felt the pulse, no problem."

"Is it possible that this poison is uncommon, you haven't seen it, so you can't touch it?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. But if someone really wants to be unfavorable to Shao Chong, why should they choose to do it in the remote Pangzhou, instead of directly in the capital or around the capital?"

Zhou Sui's question was also reasonable, and Sheng Yunzhi couldn't find a reason to refute him for a while.

In short, this matter makes sense to anyone, but every possibility can be refuted, and no one dares to make a conclusion easily.

Fu Yao's expression was a little solemn, and he seemed to have thought of a possibility.

"Commander Fu, what do you think?" Fu Yao's expression did not escape Cheng Yu, who was standing opposite.

"No, I'm just a little worried about Shao Chong, this epidemic is obviously not simple."

"Anyway, the minister is not quite sure what the hell is going on. Let the soldiers come and cover the water, and then go back first, and then go to the homes of the sick people. ”​

"Okay, stay safe." Fu Yao seemed to be a little preoccupied, but he still didn't say his conjecture.

That night, Fu Yao had that dream again, and the dream seemed to be more and more real, as if it had happened to him before.

But Fu Yao had no impression of the scene in the dream, and he didn't know why he had this dream for the second time.

Could it be that this dream has anything to do with Pangzhou? Or maybe it's really just a coincidence?

Fu Yao didn't have time to think about this kind of thing, at the moment he just wanted to figure out whether his conjecture was correct.
