Chapter 134: Civil Disturbance
"Brother Huang, there are so many corpses in this city, can you let the people under Sikong Law deal with it, and our people can take on other work." After being smoked by the rancid smell for an afternoon, Li Jing inevitably retreated, Fang Zheng Sikong Lu and his men were all killing people on the battlefield without blinking, and carrying a corpse should not be difficult for them.
As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, he was rejected by Li Ke, "No, the regent is not in charge of the affairs of the city, he will not agree, and once the soldiers are infected, then who will guarantee that the infected people in Hantian County will not take the opportunity to wander to other places?" ”
So he could understand Sikong Lu's intention to be stationed outside the city, they had never been a cooperative relationship, but the well water did not interfere with the river water, since it was their job, just do it.
"Third brother, the plague infection is so bad, from tomorrow onwards, follow the doctor's instructions, wash your hands and face with hot water, and the clothes you change must be burned, no matter what, the royal brother hopes that you can save yourself." Putting aside the battle for succession, Li Ke did not want to see his close relatives infected with the plague and die.
"Yes, my brother understands." Li Jing understood that this was his concern about himself as a brother, and kindly warned him to accept it.
After Yucheng and Gaotian County were garrisoned by the generals under Sikong Lu, they began to investigate the people who had fled from Hantian County, and although they were all found out, it had caused an irreparable situation.
More than a dozen households in Gaotian County began to show symptoms of the plague, starting a vicious circle of human-to-human transmission, and the people began to panic, and a large number of people gathered around the city gate in an attempt to leave the mainland.
"My lord, please let us out of the city, we don't want to die!"
"Yes, please let us out of the city, my lord!"
"I heard that the plague has been infected in Hantian County next door, and it has spread to our Gaotian County, what can I do!"
The people dragged their families to kneel and begged bitterly, the garrison generals were expressionless, and Tie Gong selflessly refused, "The prince has an order, everyone should go home!" Those who dare to flee without permission will be killed. ”
As soon as the people heard this, they began to shout about the indifference to the lives of the officials, and even some emotional people began to try to break through the encirclement of the soldiers.
"General, how is this good? If they make any more trouble, they will break through our guards, but if they hurt the people..."The soldiers looked at him hesitantly, they were all soldiers from poor families, and no one wanted to hurt the people.
The general glanced at the man who made the most trouble, crossed the crowd, grabbed him, and warned fiercely, "If you dare to make trouble again, don't blame my knife for not being long-sighted." As he spoke, he slashed the blade lightly across the man's neck, and blood immediately appeared.
The people stopped their noisy movements for a while, and some were afraid that they would become the next target of killing chickens and monkeys, and they all unconsciously retreated, but there were still those who were not afraid of death.
"So what do you think you should do now? We stayed in Gaotian County with dignity, but we were infected with the plague by the people of Hantian County, who knows if we will die next if we stay any longer? ”
"That's it, what are we going to do! If you don't let us out, are you going to trap us here alive? ”
There are two voices of questioning and indignation, and there are more and more voices of denunciation, and the city keeper will scold sharply, "Quiet! The closure of the city is His Majesty's will, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally gone to Hantian County to deal with the plague, and the plague will soon be controlled. ”
With the general's assurance, even if the people finally chose to believe no matter how much they complained, all they asked for was peace of mind.
