The chamberlain beside him was already frightened by the scene just now, "The king... Lord, he said, there is an outbreak of plague in the city! ”

King An swallowed his saliva, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his heart.

If there is an outbreak of the epidemic, will he be fine?

Knowing that at this time, King An had not yet realized the real problem of the matter.

It was he who indirectly led to such a result.

Then, before King An could react, he heard footsteps around him.

A Jinling soldier strode into the room and saluted.

"Lord Wang, I have just recuperated from my illness in the past few days, and I have offended."

After speaking, without waiting for King An to react, he closed the door with a "bang".

King An is really a little confused, what is the situation?

On the other side, Yang Zhi rushed to the shelter with people.

According to Yang Zhi's explanation, the surroundings have been taken care of.

Yang Zhi and Lei Yun, Wang Yuansui brought people over, but they couldn't go in.

The risk of epidemic infection is really great, and now the people who can be in charge of Xuanzhou are here.

Obviously, they can't have an accident.

The location of the shelters is peculiar in that they are improvised and most of them are located on the outskirts of the city, close to the city walls.

Yang Zhi went up to the city wall, and the scene in front of him appeared clearly in front of him.

The tragic situation in the world can only be described in these four words.

When Yang Zhi is not busy on the Li River, he will bring Chen Yuyan over at any time to take a look.

Knowing that King An and the people from the Ministry of Industry had arrived, Yang Zhi didn't have time to come over.

Unexpectedly, it became like this.

Some women were holding children, and their bodies were already full of poisonous sores, and their eyes were numb.

There are also some old people, lying upright on the ground, only the air in but not the air out.

There are countless cases like this, and everyone lives here numbly.

Wang Yuansui on the side looked at such a scene, and he was even more distressed.

These are the people of his Xuanzhou, as well as the people of the county magistrate he served as the magistrate at the beginning.

At the moment, everyone is dead.

It's like a real dead city.

Seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding this place, those people looked panicked, but they didn't know what to do.

A deep sense of powerlessness.

In just a few days, it turned out to be so serious.

Yang Zhi is now eager to drag King An out and kill him, such a person who is well-dressed and pampered, just because of the smell of herbs, has cut off the way of life for so many people.

Lei Yun looked at the people who were in pain, and his face was also sad.

Yang Zhi turned around, unable to bear to look at it again.

"Chen Nan, go to Suzhou and bring Doctor Xie over."

Chen Nan looked at Yang Zhi and swallowed the words that he wanted to follow the young master.

Wang Yuansui did not go down the city wall, he stood here for a long time until sunset.

He's going to have to go back to writing the excerpts.

Yang Zhi and Lei Yun sat opposite each other, Lei Yun opened his mouth, but still asked.

"Master Hou, I don't know what to do in such a situation?"

Yang Zhi could only hope for Doctor Xie.

He was not a doctor, and he was helpless against the epidemic.

In fact, since he came to Dasheng, he has done what he can.

For such a major event as the epidemic, he was helpless and powerless.

After a while, Yang Zhi spoke, "Lord Shangshu, if these people can't be cured, what will be the result?" ”

Lei Yun pursed his lips and spat out two words, "Burn the city." ”

Yang Zhi sighed lightly, sure enough.

Even though it has been combined with the history he has studied, Yang Zhi still wants to confirm it.

The horror of the epidemic is by no means imaginable to ordinary people.

Before Yang Zhi came to Dasheng, what was written in the books was not really shocking in front of him.

Burning the city, that is, literally.

If the epidemic cannot be cured, the problem can only be solved at the root.

That is, to burn all those who have the disease.

There were 2,541 people in the shelter, and if they had been in this way, none of them would have been spared.

How cruel, how innocent.

This is the sadness of the times.

"Lord Shangshu, according to Liu Zheng, people have been going out of the city in the past two days, which is the most troublesome."

The thunderclouds don't know, and no one knows if those who went out of the city were infected with the disease.

It's okay to control Xuanzhou, but after leaving the city, the entire Jiangnan and even Dasheng will suffer.

"Master Hou, this time the matter is not trivial, the Li River has just been halfway completed, and there is another epidemic."

Yang Zhi nodded.

"Those who go out of the city, I have already ordered someone to track them down."

"In addition, I used my identity as a Jiangnan patrol envoy to mobilize troops from various places to defend the city, as long as it is an outsider, it is impossible to enter."

Thundercloud thought about it, this is indeed the fastest way.

"There are traces of people who have left the city in the past two days, but what about the previous days?"

Yang Zhi shook his head, "I have notified the officials in various places to search carefully, and now we can only minimize the harm first!" ”

"Lord Shangshu, I'm afraid I will have to stay in Xuanzhou for a few days."

Lei Yun nodded, "This is natural, no one can be sure whether they have been infected or not, and the people from the Ministry of Industry will stay in Xuanzhou, I promise you." ”

Yang Zhi believes in thunderclouds.

At this moment, the two of them were facing something worse than the flood, and neither of them had the heart to speak again.

The next day, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lei Yun ordered the suspension of the affairs of the Li River, and all the officers and soldiers were transferred to the city to wait for dispatch.

Yang Zhi thought about it carefully, the matter of diverting water into the sea has been completed, and most of the remaining work on the Li River is just the finishing touch.

Weighing the pros and cons, Yang Zhi transferred people to the city in case of... Someone is making trouble.

In fact, Yang Zhi's decision is very necessary.

Xuanzhou was under martial law, and the people more or less heard the news of the epidemic, and people were panicked for a while.

The people in the shelter are not allowed to contact the outside world, and they are even more uneasy.

Some people know that they are sick, and some people are afraid of being given up when they are sick.

After all, there are not many such things as burning cities, but there are definitely them.

Yang Zhi, Wang Yuansui, and Lei Yun could only climb the city tower every day to calm the nervous emotions of the people.

One day, two days, the people had become numb from the beginning of trust and hope. When Yang Zhi stood on the city wall again, no one was willing to listen to him.

This is a bad sign.

Yang Zhi was very anxious, and he pinned all his hopes on Old Man Xie.

The thunderclouds also pressed everyone in the Ministry of Works, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

In Xuanzhou, there is really a situation where the city gate is closed.

Yang Zhi did not sit still during this period.

Stockpiling food has become the most important thing.

The people of Xuanzhou have to eat every day, and there are not so many things in the city, so they can't be consumed for long.

When the time comes, the ammunition will run out, but it will be really bad.

Food, Yang Zhi is not lacking, as early as when he learned of the outbreak of the epidemic, Yang Zhi wrote a letter and sent it to Jinling Tang Changfeng's bookcase.

The content of the letter is simple, and the main purpose is the Black Armor Guard.

Yang Zhi hopes to use the Black Armor Guard to transport food, which will be safer and more assured.

At the same time, the outbreak of the epidemic in Xuanzhou has spread.
