Chapter 178: Man-made Disaster
"Who did it?" He Lingjiang frowned, the imperial court had already sent people from Wu Desi to keep an eye on it secretly, and now he would not suddenly send people to surround the mansion.
He Zheng lowered his eyes: "It's the people of Yingdu, they don't know where they heard about the epidemic in Hefu, lest someone in Hefu come in and out and infect people outside, so they surround us." ”
He Lingjiang's eyes were slightly deep, and she didn't feel strange that the people were so frightened.
But in order to avoid causing turmoil, the affairs of the He Mansion were kept very secret, except for the emperor, Yuan Buxi, Wude Si Chen Nie and a few imperial doctors, the others did not know.
It was the magnates of the clan who found out that the emperor was sending someone to secretly stare at the He Mansion, and they only thought that the He family had provoked the anger of the saint, and they were about to be liquidated by the emperor. There was a lot of noise in the court for a while, but he never thought that it was related to the plague.
Where did these ordinary people come from to know about this?
Pei You also thought of this: "It seems that someone is secretly doing it." ”
He Lingjiang nodded: "It's inconvenient for you to show up, wait here for a while, I'll go and see what's going on." ”
After that, she reached out and took the face towel used as protection and tied it behind her ear, and put a smeared shirt on her body, and led He Zheng towards the main gate of He Mansion.
The scarf covered her mouth and nose tightly, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
Along the way, the guards in the palace were all dressed like this.
Walking to the gate, the guards hurriedly asked: "Seventh lady, do you want to open the door of the mansion?" ”
He Lingjiang shook his head: "No." ”
She tapped her feet and leaped to the roof of the main entrance.
It's night, but the torches are shining outside.
Hundreds of people held torches, like a long dragon surrounding the He Mansion, and many people gathered at the main gate.
He Lingjiang lowered his eyes slightly, looking down at the people below: "What are you doing when you come to my He Mansion?" ”
Suddenly, when they heard the sound and looked up and saw a man standing on the roof, the people were shocked and retreated, lest they be infected with the disease.
Looking at the large open space that immediately appeared, He Lingjiang couldn't help but sneer: "If you are so afraid, why bother to come?" ”
Her voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone.
The listeners couldn't help but be silent, indeed, they wanted to gather here, the epidemic was very dangerous, if it was close, it would not be good if they were infected by the He family.
"Mrs. He, don't be in a hurry to ask." Someone in the crowd suddenly said loudly, "We want to ask you, why didn't you tell the people of the government that someone in Hefu was suffering from an epidemic?" ”
"There is no cure for this epidemic, and those infected die immediately, and it spreads very quickly. If this continues, won't the whole city be affected by your He family! It's really dampening! ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet crowd suddenly became restless again.
"That's it! Why did the He family deceive the people of the court! ”
"Have you ever considered the safety of the people in the city?"
He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, since the people already knew about it, she had no intention of covering it up.
Her gaze fell straight on the person who spoke first: "How do you know that someone in the He family is suffering from an epidemic?" ”
Feeling the coldness in her eyes, the man couldn't help but shrink for a moment, and then puffed up his chest and said, "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." The matter of the He family has now spread throughout Ying, what is so strange about us that we know? ”
He Lingjiang smiled softly: "Then you are really well-informed. ”
"It's just that my He family is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the people. After discovering the disease, the He family immediately closed the house and sent a message to the saint. ”
"There is only one case of patients in the house now, and there are doctors and doctors who diagnose and treat them, and the rest of the places are also properly arranged, and the protection is done, so that the epidemic will not spread to the side, you can rest assured."
"Rest assured?" Some people in the crowd questioned, "How can He Qi Niangzi guarantee that this epidemic will not infect the people of Yingdu?" ”
"Yes, how can you guarantee it!"
"I heard that there are already people in the city who have symptoms of fever and vomiting blood, I can't say that it is from your He family!"
Speaking of people who had already developed such symptoms, the fear of the plague suddenly spread and seized people's hearts, and the crowd immediately became angry.
Someone picked up the torch in his hand and threw it towards the gate of Hefu, as if he wanted to burn Hefu clean with a fire before he could rest assured.
With a wave of his hand, the torch flipped in the air a few times before rolling to the ground.
"My Hefu is not the source of the epidemic, you are Xingshi to ask for sin, but you can't find us. If anyone in the city really has symptoms, they should be isolated in time, ask a doctor for treatment, and report to the imperial court for treatment. ”
According to what Lao Du said, she had sent a ruler to check the people he had come into contact with along the way after leaving Linquan Village.
Lao Dunai returned on foot, and there were few people he came into contact with along the way.
As for the few people who have been in contact, the ruler has also been secretly checked, and there is no sign of infection.
This matter, the ruler returned to her during the day, and it was impossible for someone to suddenly become ill at night to the stage of vomiting blood.
Even if someone is infected, nine times out of ten, this person is not caused by Lao Du.
I can't say, this person also had contact with people from Linquan Village a few days ago.
I can't say it...... Someone deliberately secretly caused trouble to lead the disaster to the He family.
He Lingjiang had wondered before, Yingdu was the capital of the country, with the breath of a true dragon, and there were many Xuanmen masters to protect him, how could there be a case of epidemic inexplicably.
Only then did she learn that it was dyed from Linquan Village, and that there had been a large-scale outbreak there, and she was even more suspicious.
Linquan Village is the territory of Yingdu, but it gathers for hundreds of miles, and it is also blessed by the breath of the true dragon, and now there is no epidemic ghost haunting in this area of Yingdu, and there is no time to be right, why is it so?
You must know that those who are responsible for watching the heavens in the Xuanmen are not all eating rice, but whenever there is a natural disaster coming, the heavens will warn them, but everyone in the Xuanmen is unaware.
Her gaze swept over a few people in the crowd who were about to move, and now she saw that this plague did not necessarily originate from natural disasters, but was caused by man-made disasters......
This group of people who surrounded Hefu and wanted to burn Hefu to rest assured were just being picked up by others.
The purpose is probably to make the He Mansion take care of itself and become the one who is lost.
If not all the people in Hefu have talismans to protect themselves, just by Lao Du's example, the entire Hefu will probably have fallen.
I can't say it, but it will spread to the rest of the country with Hefu as the center.
At that time, the imperial court, the family, and the entire Yingdu will inevitably have no place for the He family.
He Lingjiang had no intention of dealing with these people anymore: "You all know that the plague is terrible, although my He Mansion is not out, I can't stop someone from spreading the epidemic nearby. ”
"It's not safe in Yingdu now, I advise you to stay at home and don't go out at will."
She raised her voice slightly, and summoned Chen Nie, the commander of the Wude Division, who had been watching the play in the dark for a long time: "Commander Chen, I have to worry about you here." ”
With that, she turned around, jumped off the roof, and walked towards her courtyard.
