Although the smallpox in Qinghe Village has passed, they have been blocked and cannot get out at all. So Liu Haojia simply took his subordinates on vacation! And this situation is also very much in line with his heart, because he is ready to completely monopolize the credit for promoting cowpox this time, and slap Ning Yushi in the face fiercely, and at the same time make everything he does useless!

In this way, Liu Haojia led people to settle down in Qinghe Village, and this stationing lasted for more than a month. On this day, someone from outside finally came to investigate the situation in the village, and the person who came was still Liu Haojia's old acquaintance, it was Hongfeng, the county king!

Wang Hongfeng has been in several villages during this time, and the depressing atmosphere in the village, the corpses of the dead villagers, and the crying family members have given him great psychological pressure, which makes him very frightened! But he still had to go from village to village.

The reason is very simple, that is, the relationship between him and Meng Xianling is not very harmonious. After all, he is the second official and a strong contender for the position of the county commander, so it's no wonder that the relationship between the two people can be good! So whatever is difficult, hard, and has little merit will be arranged by the county order on his head.

But when he came to Qinghe Village today, it gave him a very different feeling. The villages he had visited were all uninhabited like ghosts, and even the occasional people were in a hurry. But here, before he entered the village, he had already seen some villagers working in the fields next to the village, which made him feel very strange.

When he approached the villagers who were working, the villagers looked up when they heard the sound and saw an official with a few servants appear more than a dozen steps away from him, and they were stunned!

Wang Hongfeng raised his hand and was about to speak, but saw the villager throw the hoe and run all the way to the village, while shouting: "There are people from the government here!" Someone from the government is coming! ”

Wang Hongfeng smiled bitterly and put his hand down and stood in place waiting, when an errand officer behind him stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, look at this, this village seems to be fine!" If only that's the case, we'll be able to rest assured! ”

Wang Hongfeng said: "It's too early to say this! When you enter the village for a while, don't touch anything, and ask about the situation. ”

The errand officer was obviously familiar with Wang Hongfeng, not only did he not return to his original position, but he sighed and said, "I hope that this village is really fine!" To tell the truth, looking at the villages that I have walked through in the past few days, as well as the buried corpses, people always feel breathless! ”

Wang Hongfeng also sighed and said: "Don't say it's you, it's just that I'm panicked!" I thought that this year would pass peacefully, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again! Now I just hope that nothing will happen to Lord Liu, if something happens to him, we will be in trouble! ”

The errand officer muttered, "Good Qincha, sit in the county and take the credit, isn't that good?" He went down to the village by himself, which made everyone worry about him! ”

Wang Hongfeng waved his hand and said: "Don't say this, just hope that he is okay now!" ”

While the two were talking, a large crowd poured out of the village. A group of villagers gathered around several people in red robes appeared at the entrance of the village. Wang Hongfeng looked carefully and found that it was Liu Hao's house who was walking in the middle, and his heart hanging in the air immediately relaxed, and he actually had a light feeling on his body for a while!

He walked forward quickly, and said from a distance: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Liu, how are you doing this time?" ”

Liu Haojia also arched his hand and said: "It's good, it's good, it can't be better!" ”

Wang Hongfeng carefully looked at Liu Haojia's complexion, and saw that his face was ruddy and radiant, and he knew that he was telling the truth. He took a long breath and said, "Lord Liu, the fact that you entered Qinghe Village has frightened the whole county!" If you have a good guy here, the lower officials can't afford this responsibility! ”

Liu Haojia laughed and said, "It's hard for you to bother!" Sin, sin! By the way, I haven't been in contact with the outside for a long time, how is the situation outside now? ”

Wang Hongfeng perked up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, all right!" Now that no one is sick anywhere, this catastrophe is over! ”

Liu Haojia asked, "How many people died outside?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Hongfeng's expression paused again, and he sighed and said, "More than 2,400 people died!" The survivors weren't so good! Two people were burned into fools with high fevers, and the others were also pockmarked faces! The body is almost broken, and it takes a long time to recuperate, but this is also a great luck in misfortune! ”

Liu Haojia agrees with him very much, under the existing medical conditions, only more than 2,000 people died in a smallpox, which is really a slight loss! Maybe this natural disaster will only be recorded in detail in the county annals, and the imperial court will not record it! Even the record is also to the imperial court as a credit to brag about it!

Liu Haojia saw Wang Hongfeng open his mouth and wanted to speak, and he guessed that he must have wanted to ask about the situation in the two villages. But he didn't want to leak it out too soon, so he immediately said: "Lord Wang, the smallpox outside has subsided, and Qinghe Village is an area with a slight smallpox infestation, but it was sealed to the end. What's the matter, I'm afraid I'll go out and grab credit from you? ”

Wang Hongfeng immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "How could it be! Lord Liu sent the imperial doctor and medicinal materials from Jingshi, and went deep into the epidemic area, and the credit is naturally there! ”

Liu Haojia snorted and said, "But I'm afraid that you Meng County Commander doesn't think so!" And Lord Ning wouldn't think so! Otherwise, they wouldn't have locked me up until the last minute! ”

Wang Hongfeng really didn't know what to say when he heard this, and his expression was very embarrassed! However, Liu Haojia knew that he had a bad relationship with Meng Xianling, so he sent him to receive him and collect his anger. So he was about to comfort him a few words, but seeing his expression, Liu Haojia had an idea and said, "Lord Wang, is it true that Lord Ning has already written all the notes sent to the imperial court at this time?" Not only did it not have any credit from the official, but it was all about saying that I didn't listen to the command and indiscriminately invaded the area where smallpox broke out, isn't that so? ”

The embarrassed look on Wang Hongfeng's face became even stronger when he heard this, and Liu Haojia knew that he had guessed right! He knew that Ning Yushi would definitely make a fuss about the recital for the imperial court, but he didn't expect him to do it so badly! Where is this because I don't want to give myself credit, I obviously want to make myself unable to turn over!
