Shen Qing frowned slightly, and said, "If you hear anything else, tell me about it in detail." ”

Seeing that her wife was interested, Chen Ying immediately tried to think about it, and said, "The slave maid heard that that Tianxian lady is actually the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Wangzhou City, she is very kind-hearted, and she will give porridge to the beggars in the city on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, the local government officials did not expect the epidemic to spread so quickly, and there was a period of insufficient food preparation, so the fairy lady went into the village to give porridge to the sick despite the opposition of her family.

Later, the epidemic was not controlled, and many of the doctors who entered the village became ill, either too sick to continue treating people, or ...... It's just dead. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, the local government did not dare to let more doctors into the village, and there were indeed not many doctors left, and the people became more and more frightened and desperate.

However, the fairy lady never left the village, and has always stuck with the people, and some people even said......"

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, and saw that Shen Qing had been looking at her and waiting for her to speak, but still said: "Compared to the imperial court of Great Qi, the Heavenly Immortal Lady is the one who really cares about them and can help them." ”

Shen Qing's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter.

It means that now in the hearts of the people in the epidemic area, the status of the fairy lady is higher than that of the imperial court?

However, the imperial court has indeed achieved nothing in the past two months, and in the hearts of those people who have been tormented by pain and despair, the imperial court may not have much prestige for a long time!

She continued to ask, "Did the fairy lady get sick that day?" ”

Chen Ying shook her head, "I heard no, that day the fairy lady said that when she was a child, she followed her grandfather and grandmother to the village where she was infected with the epidemic to give porridge, at that time she was infected with the epidemic, but fortunately cured, maybe it is because of this that she has not been infected with the epidemic."

But many people seemed to think that she would not get sick because she had some kind of Fury in her, so they revered her even more. ”

Shen Qing couldn't help but groan.

That day, the fairy lady's statement was no problem, if she really stumbled into the same epidemic disease by mistake when she was a child and was cured, it is likely that she has already produced antibodies in her body.

Could it really be that she is just a kind-hearted and brave little lady?

Shen Qing's eyes flashed slightly.

This should have been a good thing, but now her existence has made the people even more dissatisfied with the court, is this also a coincidence?

Shen Qing groaned and went back to the room, just after washing, Yu Jiuqing came back, she just wanted to say something to him, when she saw his slightly gloomy face, the words came out, "But what happened?" ”

Because Yu Jiuqing was going to visit Wangzhou in person, those local officials suddenly didn't dare to hide anything, and they have successively reported everything that happened during this time these days, and they have also told the big and small things that have happened in the past few days.

Therefore, they knew that the people had indeed had a lot of friction with the government.

For the time being, only three prefectures have taken lockdown measures, Wangzhou, Xunzhou and Meizhou, because these three states have the most serious epidemics, and the people in these three states are also the most in conflict with the government.

During the three days they were on their way, there were several times of unrest among the people of those three states.

The conflict in other states is not so serious for the time being, but because the epidemic in several states has gradually become severe, they are ready to lock down the city at any time, and once the city is closed, the people will definitely be more restless.

Yu Jiuqing glanced at Shen Qing, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly: "In the past three days in Yanzhou and Taizhou, hundreds of people have been infected with the epidemic every day, and these two states have urgently closed the city this evening.

Some people who got the news early and wanted to leave before the closure of the city but couldn't catch up directly clashed with the officers and soldiers at the city gate, and later, other people who realized it later also joined in, and the officers and soldiers were afraid of hurting the people and making the people's emotions more angry, so they could only strictly defend it, until now, the riots in those two states have not stopped. ”

Yanzhou and Taizhou are two states adjacent to Wangzhou, except for Wangzhou, Xunzhou and Meizhou, those two states are the most seriously affected by the epidemic.

Shen Qing involuntarily stood up, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The uneasiness of the people can't be suppressed. ”

The rapidly spreading epidemic these days, as well as the anxiety of the imperial court, are all in the eyes of the people.

What follows will only get worse!

We must first find a way to stabilize the people's emotions!

Shen Qing thought of something and said, "We're going to rush overnight?" ”

When such a big thing happened, they couldn't be so good anymore.

Yu Jiuqing was not surprised that Shen Qing could guess it, nodded and said, "The others have already gone back to prepare, we must also clean up as soon as possible, and try to rush to Yuxian County before tomorrow morning." ”

Yu County is a county on the border of Wangzhou, Yanzhou and Taizhou.

They didn't plan to go to Yuxian County at first, but due to the unexpected situation in Taizhou and Yanzhou, they had to change their destination.

Shen Qing didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately called Chen Ying to pack up her things, and said, "Don't worry, when the news of your visit to the hard-hit area of the epidemic spreads, the people will calm down somewhat." ”

It's just that Shen Qing also knows that this kind of calmness is only temporary.

If the epidemic continues to worsen, it will be useless for the emperor to come.

After packing their things, they immediately began to rush through the night.

On the way, Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing talked about the fairy lady that day, and Yu Jiuqing said: "Just now, when I was discussing things with other officials, they also talked about this fairy lady.

These days, because the epidemic continues to worsen, the government's manpower and materials can't catch up, this day the fairy lady is providing food and looking for doctors for the sick, and the people now respect her very much.

Her fame has also spread widely, and almost all the people in the states affected by the epidemic know about her existence. ”

The more incompetent and anxious the government seems, the more holy and selfless the fairy lady will be.

Moreover, on the surface, this fairy lady helping them is completely gratuitous, unlike the government, which collects so many taxes on them every year, but it can't even protect them.

In such a comparison, it seems that the fairy lady is even more rare.

Shen Qing listened to Yu Jiuqing's words, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

The reputation of this fairy lady has spread so widely? There is a faint tendency to become the spiritual leader of the people in the epidemic area.

She said in a deep voice: "This situation is not good. ”

If the fairy lady is really just a kind-hearted and brave little lady, forget it.

If she harbors any evil intentions, with her current influence among the people, it is easy to incite the people to do something!

She had suspected that this epidemic was not a natural disaster, but someone was spreading it in secret.

If the fairy lady was also a chess piece planted by the mastermind behind the scenes, if they didn't deal with it early, they would be very passive.

Of course, Yu Jiuqing understood this truth, and he frowned and said: "I have already sent someone to investigate the details of the fairy lady that day, but no matter whether she has other thoughts, her reputation among the people has risen, and now we can't do anything right." ”

That's right, now that the fairy lady is being watched by all the people, whether they want her to keep a low profile or find a way to get rid of her, it's not a good time.

If you are not careful, the government will be charged with the big hat of persecuting this fairy lady!

It's just a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.

It was destined to be a night of insomnia.

They rushed all night and finally arrived in Yuxian in the early morning of the next day.

The county magistrate of Yuxian County was waiting for them at the county gate early, and Yu Jiuqing rushed over to discuss with the county magistrate almost as soon as he got off the carriage.

Shen Qing didn't have the heart to rest, and slowly walked in this village where there were no people.

The village is close to the three states where the epidemic is raging, and those who can afford it have long since left to evacuate.

Those who are still here today are either the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or the people who were sealed off before they could leave.

Yu County, which belongs to Taizhou, was also sealed yesterday evening.

At this time, there was no daily atmosphere in the village, most of the people were hiding in the house and were reluctant to come out, and the few people walking on the road were panicked, and when they saw Shen Qing, who was obviously dressed differently from them, although they were curious, they didn't dare to look at it.

Shen Qing walked and walked, and suddenly, he heard a heart-rending scream not far away-

"Ahh
