Chapter 993: The epidemic is raging
This is not a prison.
It is the yatang of the county magistrate of Guangyang County, but now it has been temporarily "rebuilt" and has become a place to detain the nearly 20 "mobs" who took the lead in making trouble and impacting the county government - Guangyang ordered Hu Lai to riot because he almost lost his life and rioted, but he hated that these rioters could not be immediately sentenced to death, where would they be so favorable? Not only prepared charcoal fire for heating, thick mattress and felt blankets, but also to ensure that there is no hunger and thirst, where is the treatment of a felon, it is simply a VIP waiting!
Helplessly, the Lang general Qin Ming, who stayed behind in Wei Ze Pass, gave such an order, and even left a hundred henchmen and 100 guards to guard the county government in the name of guards, and Hu Wei did not dare to exercise the power of the county order.
In fact, to talk about it, not to mention Qin Ming, even if Wu Weihou is not qualified to intervene in politics, Hu Lai can completely disobey orders, but now, there are 200,000 Anton troops besieging outside Weize Pass, at this critical juncture, not only the spread of the plague, but even riots, unlike ordinary county seats, Guangyang belongs to Guancheng, and the vast majority of the people here are military households, such as taking the lead in making trouble, not only the military service under the craftsman's office, and even relatives and friends at home are the guards of the Guangyang Army, Qin Ming keeps saying that it is important to put an end to civil strife and resist the enemy army, Hu Lai had to be afraid.
Moreover, although he is also a hard backer, the backer is far away in Chang'an, if he goes against Qin Ming at this time, if Qin Ming lets the mob do whatever he wants, Hu Lai's little life will be confessed in Guangyang.
Hu Lai had no choice but to compromise, but the more than ten military services that were treated as "VIPs" were actually not pleasant, especially the "bearded" who was the organizer, when there was a shout, he finally forced the lazy official to send in an urn of clear water, but it was cold and there was no heating at all, but the bearded man also slurped a few big sips before throwing the pottery urn to the ground: "How long has it been here, what's the matter with us being trapped here?" If it weren't for Qin Lang's admonition, he would have to kill Hu Lai, the dog official! Why, even General Lang treats us as prisoners? ”
But the official who delivered the water had already escaped far away, and on a cold day, he only felt that his backbone was even sweating outward, and he said that this errand was really getting more and more difficult.
Hu Xian Ling clearly hated to trap these people in the yatang, although he had to endure it because of the situation, and even explained that they had to wait for these people to eat and drink, but obviously reluctant, where did the officials really dare to be attentive and thoughtful to the "mob"? But there are people from the military department in the county ya, and the officials dare not disobey the order, and the food and drink cannot be shortage, but the rice is cold rice, and the water is cold water, so it will naturally make the trapped bearded and so on impetuous, and they scold, and the officials are afraid of being caught and used for venting - even if they are killed at this time, it is estimated that they deserve it, and they don't hide far away and wait to eat the splint disaster?
Although he avoided it, of course it was not so easy for the official to stay out of the matter, and the bearded man's shouting and scolding soon attracted Qin Lang's general to "guard" the guards of the county government who wanted to enter to inspect, but they were held by the official trembling and dissuaded: "I have been trapped these days, although I have been waiting for good food and drink, but I am not free, how can these people be calm?" If the non-commissioned officer goes, he may be burned, and in the eyes of the villain, since General Lang has forgiven the responsibility of protest because of extenuating circumstances, it is better to simply let them go, so as not to embarrass us subordinates. ”
The guard didn't sympathize with the servant at all, and glared at him: "It's one thing to have extenuating circumstances, but we also have to avoid another accident after these people go out. ”
"The non-commissioned officer can't let these men go free, and can't he calm their anger? It's better for them to vent, and after extinguishing the fire, they will be persuaded with good words. ”
I didn't want to say this, and suddenly I heard a commotion again, and the officials who were guarding in the yahall rushed out, looking frightened one by one, as if there were evil ghosts chasing after them, and the guards finally stopped one, and the man cried with a sad face: "Someone inside suddenly fainted, he must be infected with a vicious epidemic, and if he doesn't leave, we all have to bury him!" ”
When the guard heard this, he didn't let the man leave, and drew his knife and shouted: "For the sake of immunizing the spread of the situation, no one in the county government is allowed to go out a step!" ”
The news quickly reached Hu Lai's ears, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground with a blank face, and even the staff members around him panicked, and said like a headless fly: "How is this good? Even the county government has spread the epidemic, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians of Guangyang County will not be able to escape the epidemic, the Ming government can no longer hesitate, and now it can no longer stay here, it should go back to Chang'an and report to the imperial court, Guangyang can't be saved, and Jinshuo is also in danger! ”
Hu Lai was even more panicked.
Not to mention that even if he wants to leave at this time, he will never be able to leave the city, even if he can get out, once Guangyang falls, Wu Weihou will certainly be unable to escape the blame, can he escape the guilt? Before taking office, Xie Xiangguo told him a thousand times, how could Hu Lai forget his heavy responsibility? If he escapes, he is afraid that Xie Xiangguo will cut off his head with his own hands to appease the anger of the Queen Mother!
But if you stay in Guangyang, you will die of the epidemic sooner or later, how can this really be good?!
was in a panic and chaos, but when he heard that Princess Jin had arrived, Hu Lai suddenly saw a savior - King Jin had never rebelled, Princess Jin must be an ally, this backer was not even as long as Xie Xiangguo, why didn't he think of Princess Jin earlier?
Therefore, as soon as Hu Lai saw the princess, he complained bitterly with tears: "As soon as the lowly officials knew about the outbreak of the epidemic, they immediately ordered the blockade of the epidemic area and the burial of the patients, just to prevent the spread of the epidemic. ”
He also accused Wu Weihou: "The mistake of the war strategy led to the 200,000 Anton army forcing the pass, leaving only the eldest grandson Qin Ming with less than 40,000 defense soldiers to guard, Qin Ming's kindness to women, not to investigate the crime of rebellion against the party, tolerated and connived, and finally caused the epidemic to affect the county government, and now the people are even more panicked!" ”
Suddenly, he saw the princess of Jin and her party, all covering their mouths and noses with cotton yarn, Hu Lai immediately woke up to this is the method of epidemic prevention, and saw that a few soldiers of the Jin Dynasty brought forward the big basket of cotton yarn, no one needed to tell them, and immediately pounced on it to snatch and imitate, but was blocked by Bai Yu's outstretched hand, but in the end, it was still Ai Lu, holding a long chopstick, and throwing it to Hu Lai to cover his mouth and nose to prevent the epidemic.
Eleven Niang's line can be described as vast, but the army is still behind, she first led the doctor, the guards and Taiyuan Mansion eight thousand guards to take the lead, these cotton yarn to prevent the epidemic is soaked in medicinal soup on the way, and then dried by charcoal fire, according to the dialectic of Tianbu Wedge and Dong Lansheng, etc., the plague can play a preventive role to some extent, after Eleven Niang entered the city, has ordered a large number of entourages to distribute epidemic prevention to the people, and then follow the doctor's instructions to concoct a large number of people, at this time, of course, will not be in vain to disregard the life safety of the county officials, signaled Bai Yu and others to preside over the distribution, and ordered Dong Lansheng to immediately rush to the torture hall to diagnose the pulse of the suspected infected military service.
Dong Lansheng was quickly diagnosed, and the military service was indeed infected with fur.
At this time, Hu Lai was even more angry, and was about to chatter, how to think that the bearded man actually led the crowd to get rid of the guard's obstruction, rushed here, and saw that the princess of Jin had really come to Guangyang in person, so he was about to come forward to theorize, but was stopped by many pro-soldiers, and the bearded man was full of indignation: "The princess of Jin is benevolent and righteous, it seems that it is also an exaggeration, the princess of Jin is clearly in the same stream with Hu Lai, the dog official, and regards the lives of the people as mustard, and wants to kill the infected alive. ”
He was really sad and angry, his eyes were red but his face was full of pain: "My father and brother, all of them are soldiers of the Guangyang Department, and now the life and death of Wuwei Hou are unknown, and I also volunteered to serve in the craftsman office in order to guard the Weize Pass. And because someone in the village was infected with the epidemic, Hu Lai not only did not think about treatment, but even ordered a blockade, my eldest daughter, three years old, because of the blockade order, unfortunately contracted the epidemic, died of high fever, seeing that the rest of the relatives were not spared, should we sit back and wait for death?! ”
The eight-foot man was in tears as he spoke: "Let's just say that the one who fainted from illness earlier, he had three brothers, all of whom died on the battlefield, and the orphan of the elder brother was unfortunately infected with the epidemic and was killed by the pit if he could not be treated!" Now he is also unfortunately sick, and there is only one death, but if he can't save his life, the family will be cut off! Princess Jin, you keep saying that you are sympathetic to the people's livelihood and love the military family, dare to ask is just so compassionate and loving? If you are afraid of the plague, why bother to come to Guangyang, since you have come to Guangyang, isn't it hypocritical to bring these ridiculous things for fear of contracting the epidemic? ”
