Chapter 916: The Great Plague Breaks Out

In the fifth and sixth year of the empire, the first year of the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, the cold air flow from the north has quietly moved south from the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, on both sides of the Qinluo River, a depression, and the bank of the Tianhe River, although it also felt the chill of winter, but the temperature only dropped a few degrees, at most at night, add more layers of quilts, during the day, the sun is still warm.

After the golden autumn of October, when the harvest is completed, most of the fields have begun to be fallow to restore their fertility, while some vegetable fields have been planted with hardy winter vegetables.

Although the noon sun of this lunar month is not as poisonous as the summer, but it is also a little sunburning, Wang Laoshi also went down to the field as usual, waiting for the vegetable seedlings planted in the field, Wang Laoshi is a typical cropper man, strong and strong, and his arms have a handful of strength.

Since the deserter returned to his hometown, Wang Laoshi's family, who had rented other fields all his life, actually divided the land, plus he borrowed dozens of gold coins and bought 20 acres of barren land, Wang Laoshi suddenly changed from a tenant to a peasant with 30 acres of land.

The father and son of the Wang family walked around the field all day long, hoping to make more money, build a new house for their son, and marry a daughter-in-law, so they rested in other people's homes, and Wang Laoshi still walked around the field, not feeling tired at all.

Holding the hoe and straightening his waist, Wang Lao wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck, looked up at the sun on his head, and looked up at the sun on his head.

When Wang Laoshi woke up, he was already lying on his wooden bed: "What's wrong with me!"

"Dad, you are lying down, you are overworked, so I fainted all of a sudden, the doctor in the village came to see it, and gave two pairs of medicines, you have been resting and resting in the past few days, there is not much work in the field, I can do it alone!"

Wang nodded honestly, he also felt that his body was not quite right, he always seemed to feel a little tired in the past few days, he didn't take it seriously, maybe he was really tired, just rest, anyway, the vegetables in the field are all planted, and there is not much work to weed and the like.

No one took Wang Laoshi's sudden fainting seriously, but after four or five days, Wang Laoshi did not get better at all, but as if he was terminally ill, his eyebrows were sunken, and his strong body bones were also shriveled, and he suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old.

"Doctor Liu, look at my father, didn't you say that you were just overworked, why did you rest for three days, and it didn't get better, but your body is getting worse and worse!"

Doctor Liu put down the medicine box, looked at Wang Shishi's situation, frowned, pulled Wang Shisuo out of the house, and said: "Shisuo, I won't hide it from you, now not only your father is this symptom in the village, but also several families have the same situation, I guess this is not accidental, but I am just a wandering doctor, the level is limited, I can't say what their disease is!"

"There are doctors in the county who are smarter than me, otherwise, let's get together two big cars and go to the county seat to have a look!"

When Wang Shisuo heard this, he also nodded, and soon, several sick villagers were carried into the cart, and then ran to the county seat.

Yun County, is a county under the jurisdiction of Guangling Mansion, relying on the Tianhe, the county town is not small, although it has experienced war, but it is generally well preserved, after two years of restoration, the county seat is as lively and prosperous as in the past.

Wang Shisuo and his party rushed to the county seat overnight, stayed in the village outside the city for a night, and entered the county seat at dawn the next day, when the city gate was opened, but when they came to the county town's clinic, they found that the clinic was overcrowded.

And the situation is roughly the same as that of the patients in Wang Shisuo and his party, they are all weak and weak, and they seem to have been drained of life.

"Doctor, what kind of illness is my father!"

"What kind of disease, can't be checked, where are you!"

"Xishuizhuang's!"

"Send the patient inside first, find a place to settle down, you people all go out, don't block here! Xiao Wu, the county government hasn't replied yet!"

"No, I went to two halls, and I didn't see the county magistrate at all, and I don't know if the people below have passed it on!"

"Forget it, don't look for Inspector Liu, you go to Inspector Liu's side to talk about it, I don't think this situation is simple, even Xishuizhuang has patients with the same symptoms!" Dr. Zhu didn't go on, he had never seen this kind of disease, and he couldn't detect the cause of the disease at all, it was not a disease at all, but it was somewhat similar to the plague recorded in the book.

It seems that in order to verify Dr. Zhu's words, six or seven more people were sent to the hospital on this day, and their conditions were very different.

"Doctor Zhu, what's the situation!" Inspector Liu, who was stationed in Yun County, was naturally the former county commander, and now the officials of the Great Chu Kingdom, after learning the situation, immediately rushed over non-stop.

Doctor Zhu looked around, pulled Inspector Liu to the side, and then whispered: "Lord Liu, things are a little tricky, now the people who come to me to see a doctor are not only from the county, but also from Yunzhuang, Xiaodongji, and Xingjia Village, but the symptoms are all the same, but after a diagnosis, I can't find the cause of the disease, and there are so many sick people, I wonder if it may be a plague!"

"Plague!" Inspector Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost didn't scream: "Are you sure it's the plague?"

"I don't dare to say certainly, but it's a little similar to what I saw in the book, after this chaos, there must be a natural disaster**, and the occurrence of the plague is nothing!"

"In the past two years, there has been no war in our Chuzhou, and even if there is a plague, it happened two years ago!"

"The onset of this plague doesn't care about you, and our Chuzhou is peaceful, but in the upper reaches of this river, there are corpses floating down from time to time, on the other side of the river, it has not stopped, if there is a plague in other places, and it is brought over by birds and beasts, it is also normal!"

"And it's easy to see if it's a plague, you should also have contact with other counties, ask if there are any such situations in other places, if there are, then ** is not far from ten, eighty percent is a plague, the plague must be prevented as soon as it happens, if you don't hurry up, when the plague spreads, there will be more deaths!"

There has been no plague in the empire for many years, a hundred years ago, there were some plagues in some places, but there are few records in the official history, but from the book, we know that every time the plague is rampant, the dead people are the whole village, the whole town, absolutely corpses all over the field.

"I know, you look at it here, I'll let people cooperate with you, transport people out of the city first, you can't stay in the city, and don't go out until the news is confirmed!"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Vermilion Bird City, Chu Palace, Leng Zhuocai came out of retreat, but found that the atmosphere in the palace was very wrong.

"Your Highness, you can be regarded as out of the customs!"

"Why, what's wrong, so in such a hurry!"

"Your Highness, something is indeed wrong, the plague, the outbreak of the plague!

When Leng Zhuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he teleported and rushed to the secretariat, Plague, damn it, is this thing breaking out in his territory, this is not a good sign.

"What's the situation!" Leng Zhuo suddenly appeared in the secretariat, this is where the princesses gather, Leng Zhuo's harem does not have so many rules, and many princesses have a lot of industries in their hands, but none of them can be idle, although they can't interfere in military politics, but here they control the economic lifeline of the kingdom, and they are well-informed, even inferior to the Intelligence Department under the Military Aircraft Department, and the news transmitted from the officials is the slowest.

"Ah!" Leng Zhuo's sudden appearance immediately startled Lu Chanyue, patted her chest, turned her head and saluted: "Your Highness!"

"Well, it was said that there was a plague, where did the plague break out!" Leng Zhuo waved his hand and asked eagerly.

"Now, it has been discovered in Guangling Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, and the north of Suzaku Mansion, and it has also been found in the eastern part of Poyang Mansion, and the number of people reported from now on has not been less than a thousand, but it is not a plague that has not yet been determined, we have sent several teams of spiritual healers and pharmacists to rush to the place respectively, and there is no news yet!"

"It's appeared on such a large scale, it's not a plague, it's a precaution!" Leng Zhuo was also a little uncalm, the plague, even on the earth, was enough to give people a headache.

World War II, the world was turned upside down, how many people died, a Black Death in Europe directly killed more people than this, it was simply a disaster, if a large-scale plague broke out in Chuzhou, how many people would die, Chuzhou, which had just been stabilized, was estimated to be turbulent again soon.

"Your Highness, you should sit down first, everything we can do has been ordered, the place where the symptoms are found has been sent to nearby soldiers and horses for isolation, locally, we have begun to organize people to investigate everywhere to see if there are still people with symptoms, and all the patients who have been found have been isolated, and their families have been temporarily separated!"

"How did the plague appear, do you have eyebrows?" Leng Zhuo nodded, he was able to retreat with peace of mind, but also because there were trustworthy people inside and outside, even if he wasn't there for a short time, everything could run smoothly.

"This hasn't been done yet, the people who have to wait to find out the results, but it is very likely that it came from other states, our Chuzhou has been peaceful in the past two years, but it is not in other places, so people have been asked to check the nearby big states!"

Leng Zhuoen sighed and said, "I hope it's not too late for us to find out, otherwise there will be really big trouble, how to deal with it locally!"

"Those imperial officials, I heard that there was a plague, eight out of ten ran away, and the rest obediently cooperated, and now most of the local patrols have been sent by us to take charge of the place, so as to prevent major turmoil due to the emergence of the plague!"

"Well, well done, you don't have to hide it at this time, if you really want to be blind, just kill it!"
