Chapter 168: Sudden Epidemic
Returning to the Qilin Hall from the steel mill, Yingzheng's ass was not yet hot, and there was an urgent report outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the city is ...... Something happened in the city! ”
A guard in armor was panting and grim-faced.
"What's the matter?"
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and asked with a majestic face.
"There was a sudden epidemic in the city, and all five members of the family were infected!"
The guards gave their hands to report.
"What? How could a good end suddenly appear in the epidemic? ”
After listening to the guard's words, Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, and the two sword eyebrows were also twisted together.
What a plague! It's not a joke, if it is not properly controlled, it is possible to infect the entire Xianyang City!
"Not long after this family moved to Xianyang, the epidemic seemed to come out overnight, they suddenly had a high fever that did not go away, and they still had a rash on their bodies!"
The guards will report all the information they know.
"So, you haven't found the source of the plague?"
Ying Zheng did not believe that the plague would come out of nowhere.
Under normal circumstances, it is usually due to the war, and the corpse is not properly disposed of, which is the result.
But there is no possibility of a corpse in the city, and this cannot be the reason!
Only by finding the source of the plague can the spread of the plague be stopped!
"Your Majesty, the source has not been found, and the epidemic seems to have fallen from the sky at this time!"
The guard bowed his head in shame.
"Can that family handle it?"
"I've been taken out of the city, found a house that no one lives in, and placed there temporarily!"
"Good! Immediately summon hundreds of officials to the Qilin Hall to discuss matters! ”
"Yes!"
……
In a moment's time, the civil and military officials plus all the princes received the news and rushed to the Qilin Palace.
"What's the situation? Why did His Majesty suddenly summon him? ”
"Who knows, I'm already about to take a nap and I'm being called again!"
"It can't be that there's some movement over there, right?"
"I think it's possible, otherwise Your Majesty wouldn't say 100,000 urgent!"
"Alas! Don't guess, let's go, you'll know when you get there......! ”
After entering the palace, the ministers had to walk to the Qilin Palace, and on the way, they gathered in groups to talk.
"Yes, yes, let's go, it is estimated that His Majesty has arrived at this time!"
Thinking of this, everyone gradually quickened their pace.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the Qilin Palace, Ying Zheng was already sitting on the dragon chair, with a deep momentum and a frown, and at first glance, something bad had happened!
The hundred officials stood in their positions in turn, lowered their heads, and no one dared to say anything more!
Li Si glanced at each other with Li Xin and Feng Zheng, and also lowered his head with the hundred officials.
"Everybody's here?"
Glancing at everyone, Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's all here!"
Everyone bowed.
"I don't know if everyone has heard of it, there is an epidemic in the city today!"
Something so big happened, Ying Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
"...... Uproar"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone looked up sharply, and their eyes were wide open.
"What? Epidemic? In the city? ”
"How did the epidemic suddenly appear?"
"The epidemic is very contagious, and we ...... We're not already infected, are we? ”
The ministers immediately panicked.
In this era, the epidemic is almost the most dangerous terminal disease, highly contagious, once infected, you will definitely die!
"Don't worry, Aiqing, this time the epidemic has only found a family of five for the time being, and it has been taken outside the city, it is strictly forbidden to go out, it should not spread!"
Ying Zheng said with a straight face.
"Hoo ......"
Hearing these words, the ministers were a little relieved.
As long as the epidemic is brought under control and does not spread, they will be safe for the time being!
"Your Majesty, the minister just got the news and was about to report that a family in the south of the city had symptoms of high fever that did not go away, and had a rash on his body, similar to the epidemic!"
At this moment, Li Si's slow voice sounded in the main hall.
It was like a demon that penetrated into the hearts of the people, and pulled the hearts of hundreds of officials again.
"What? Another family has symptoms of the epidemic? ”
Ying Zheng stood up from the dragon chair, and his eyes fell on the guard who had just reported it.
"Your Majesty, the news that the last general will get is indeed only this one ......!"
The soldier was taken aback by this sharp look and hurriedly explained.
"Hurry up and send people out of the city, so that the other people don't get infected!"
"Let Xia Wuhe take the imperial doctor to take a look, and the people will scatter grass and wood ashes from house to house and burn wormwood!"
Ying Zheng issued a series of orders.
"Yes!"
The guards received the order and hurried to do it.
"Now that the source of the epidemic has not been found, what can you do?"
After arranging everything for the time being, Ying Zheng scanned everyone, hoping that someone could come up with a feasible way.
"Your Majesty, after learning that the farmer had a high fever, he sent someone to inquire, saying that the weather has been cold in recent days, and he has not gone out to contact people!"
Li Si gave his hand to play.
"Another one who has not been in contact with people, so why do they suddenly have the same symptoms in the south of the city and the east of the city?"
Ying Zheng angrily slapped the dragon case.
If we don't find the source of the epidemic as soon as possible, many people will be infected, causing panic and rumors among the people, and it may even cause riots among the people, with unimaginable consequences!
"The weather is cold, and this farmer has only drunk the breeze wine from the Drunken Immortal Wine Workshop to warm up before the heat!"
Li Si folded his hands and put them in front of his lower abdomen, looking at Xiao Zhengtai with a fixed gaze.
"What?"
Hearing the mention of the winery, Xiao Zhengtai suddenly looked up.
What's up?
Can you connect with yourself when the epidemic breaks out?
This old guy obviously just can't get along with himself?
"I wonder if the people of the family that Your Majesty got the news have also done the same thing?"
Feng Zheng asked.
Even if Ying Zheng didn't believe it, he had to send a guard to ask, "Go check and check, have they ever drunk Qingfeng wine before?" ”
"Yes!"
The soldier received the order, turned around and ran out of the court.
"Wouldn't it? The epidemic came from the Drunken Immortal Wine Workshop? ”
"Who knows, anything is possible!"
"Fortunately, a certain person drank Wuliangye yesterday and did not get drunk with immortals!"
"Don't be lucky, if the Drunken Immortal Wine Shop is really the source of the epidemic, Wuliangye may not be spared!"
"Oh my God, aren't we all in danger?"
……
Thinking of this, all the ministers cast unkind glances at Xiao Zhengtai.
The other princes also quietly moved their bodies to the side, as if Xiao Zhengtai was a poison king!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhengtai is about to scold her mother!
The matter was critical, the guards rode forward on fast horses, that is, they returned to the main hall in a moment, and reported to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the family that fell ill first said that the weather was cold, and they also drank Qingfeng wine to ward off the cold!" ”
"What? Have you really drunk it? ”
"One of the two families is in the east of the city and the other is in the south of the city, they don't know each other, and the only thing they have in common is that they have both drunk Qingfeng wine?"
"Does that mean that the Qingfeng wine in the Drunken Immortal Wine Shop is the source of the epidemic......
Since learning of this clue, without Li Si and others adding fuel and vinegar, some old ministers began to make up for their brains, and those who said it shuddered.
