Zuo Ci was hesitating in the inn, and when she heard someone looking for her outside, she opened the door and saw Qingluan coming with a scarf, she guessed that it should be the medical officer from Rongcheng.

"Master, the medical officer of Rongcheng is here, there are three medical officers, 10 medical apprentices and small servants, and they are currently waiting for the young city lord to arrange outside the county."

Zuo Ci guessed well, it was the medical officer who came, and she brought a scarf.

"Go and verify your identity first, and then come in as a person if there is no mistake, now that Fuxian is unstable, it is better to be cautious."

The medical officials outside the county were waiting, and when they saw Zuo Ci coming, they wanted to salute, and Zuo Ci waved his hand, these red tape were a bit redundant at this moment.

"You don't have to salute, I hope that the medical officers, medical apprentices, and small servants will verify their identities and enter Fuxian County again, so that they can heal the people of the city."

A few people nodded, registered with Qingluan, and took the price to prove their identity, and after some verification, there was nothing unusual, and Zuo Ci took a few people to the medical hall.

The three of them were calling for pulses in the medical hall, and one of the medical officers had a change in expression, turned his head and looked at Zuo Ci, who shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to say anything here. There are many people here, and it is not a place to talk about something.

"After the four medical officers are diagnosed and treated, I hope to be able to tell me about the situation in Fuxian County later, and if another person dies of illness at the moment, it is necessary to set countermeasures as soon as possible."

The four of them continued to call the pulse of the other patients, Zuo Ci was worried, but she could not help, so she left the hospital, she could not make trouble. Standing on the side of the road, Zuo Ci looked at the current situation in Fuxian, empty and lifeless.

A small guy came and said the words conveyed by the county magistrate.

"Young City Lord, that woman is awake."

The woman is now in the county official's mansion, and the county official also thought of it, saying that he would send the person to the medical center, but in fact he explained to her with a note that he would take the woman back to his mansion and then call the medical officer in the name of the county official's wife.

By the time she arrived, the woman had been able to speak, but her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were still a little dazed, as if she was about to die.

Before Zuo Ci entered the house, he beckoned, and instructed the secret guard to check whether there were any strong martial artists around, so he entered the house with confidence.

"Do you know who locked you up in the courtyard?"

The woman's expression was frightened, her eyes were wide open, and her body was shaking her head all the time.

"I don't know..."

Zuo Ci looked at her current situation, and asked if he couldn't ask anything, his voice was softer, but he didn't reach out to touch it, worried that the physical touch would cause the woman to be frightened.

"It's okay, it's safe now. Don't worry, someone will protect you. ”

The woman was still in the same state, but she muttered and repeated in a low voice.

He also said... Someone will protect me..."

After repeating it a few times, it suddenly fell silent, but it was still shaking. When Zuo Ci heard those words, the guess in his heart became more certain. Zuo Ci patted the county official lightly, turned around and walked out of the house.

"Let the medical officer prescribe some calming decoctions, and let trusted people take the decoctions, and don't deal with others. Later I will have someone to protect her and live in a tent outside the county, where it is safer. ”

"Keep this place guarded, don't make it feel like it's empty."

Zuo Ci glanced at the county official, if he was smart, he should know her intentions, since he could think of not putting people in the medical hall, then he would definitely be able to understand what she meant.

"The petty official has his own arrangement."

Zuo Ci nodded, showing a rare smile.

"Then it's all up to you."

——

The carrier pigeon landed in front of the window, and saw a pair of hands take off the letter, and then let the carrier pigeon fly, and unfolded the letter, but the man remained silent, but tapped the table with his fingers, closed his eyes, and looked lazy.

"Master, it's the subordinates who are not doing well."

The man continued to close his eyes, and after a moment he raised them, and there was no emotion in them.

"More than 20 people can't hurt him, he really deserves to be the god of war in Dongzhou. I didn't order someone to do anything to him, did you learn a lesson this time? Go down and receive your punishment. ”

When the man was the only one left in the room, he laughed softly, picked up the teacup on the side, and rubbed his fingertips against the rim.

"It is worthy of General Shen, who is one enemy and one hundred, I don't know if he can protect Dongzhou with one enemy and one hundred when the war is raging."

The teacup was placed on the table, and the man reached out and slowly pushed the teacup down, falling off the table and breaking into pieces on the ground. The man looked at Fang Cai's picture with interest, and the corners of his mouth raised into a smile.

"It's the prologue, and this play is about to begin."

——

Zuo Ci entered the camp tent, now that it is sunset, the affairs of the medical hall should not be so busy, Zuo Ci ordered Qingluan to vacate a camp tent.

"Qingluan, you find some soldiers to change the clothes of ordinary city citizens, and go to the county official's mansion to pick up a woman. Remember, let them be careful, and when they come back, they will be taken directly to the tent that has been vacated, and they will be well guarded. ”

Not long after Qingluan left, four medical officers came, and Zuo Ci sat in the middle, looking at the four of them.

"What is the condition of Fuxian, can it be conclusive, is it the plague or some other disease?"

The four of them glanced at each other, and one of them, Doctor Lu, spoke first.

"When the old man checked, he was suffering from fever, and there was indeed a pulse of epidemic disease when he called the pulse, but it was a little strange."

Zuo Ci listened, and the conjecture in her heart deepened, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

"Doctor Lu, tell me, what's so strange?"

"The pulse is gradually stabilizing, not getting weaker and weaker, the old man looks at it, it doesn't look like a plague..."

Medical Officer Lu once traveled to Yunzhou to practice medicine, and his medical skills were excellent, and his words were naturally convincing to Zuo Ci, but such a simple situation, did the medical officer of Fuxian County really not know? Zuo Ci looked at the medical officer in Fuxian County, his expression was cold, and the medical officer raised his head and looked at each other, and immediately knelt down.

"The grass people are guilty!"

The behavior of this medical officer startled the three people on the side, Zuo Ci raised his eyebrows, and looked at the medical officer kneeling now.

"What is the sin? Let's talk about it. ”

"The grass people know that this disease is not a disease."

He remained silent, waiting for the medical officer to explain everything clearly.

"At first, two people came to see the doctor, and after the grass people found that they had fever symptoms, they prescribed two pairs of medicines to the two people, but a few days later, the two people fell ill, and the grass people went to the two people's homes to see a doctor, and the two people really seemed to have an epidemic."

"In the next few days, people came intermittently, all of them had fever symptoms, and the grass people prescribed medicine, but more and more people had this symptom, and the grass people suspected that it was a plague."

Then the first two died, and many more fainted. The prefectural magistrate moved some of the patients to the infirmary, and found that this was not a sign of an epidemic. But the grass people... Unspoken. ”

Zuo Ci listened, and then spoke.

"A total of five people died, what was the cause of death of the other three?"

The medical officer continued to kneel, slowly stating the causes of death of the other three.

"Those three died of heart failure..."
