Chapter 58: The Plague
The three of them arrived outside the yamen of the mansion as they spoke, Fu Hui stepped forward to stop the two of them, and pointed to the tray on the side: "County Lord, my lord, bring a towel first."
The city was only depressed, and they only went to see the displaced people who did not have the epidemic and did not get close, but now they had to go into the backyard of the government to see those who were suffering from the epidemic.
Although the epidemic did not spread much in the city, there were many people who fell ill, the county lord was noble, and Yan Zheng was also a dignified three-grade sitting capital imperial history, no matter who could be infected here.
The two of them nodded their heads, and together with Fu Hui, they brought the face towel sent by the nursing home of the government office, and took protective measures before following into the hospital.
Although there is a face towel to cover the face, but the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the courtyard mixed with the sick spirit of the patient, in the small courtyard spread instantly, the courtyard is set up with an open hood, placed a small wooden bed, almost a hospital of patients, Lang Zhong invited by the government and a small team of imperial doctors sent by His Majesty are in the hospital in an orderly manner, boiling medicine.
"The backyard of the government is small, and the house is almost full, so I have to place these later patients in the hospital, but the adults can rest assured that they will not let these patients suffer from the cold, and they will set up a stove at night."
seemed to know that Yan Zheng was going to ask when he saw this scene, so Fu Hui explained the situation to the two of them as soon as possible. The two nodded in understanding.
On weekdays, in addition to the few officials of the government are doctors and patients, there are two newcomers who are good-looking, dressed and temperamental, and there are people in the hospital who are slightly less ill and can't stop looking at the door, and their eyes first fall on the woman.
Her skin was extremely white due to her aya clothes, I don't know if she was in too much of a hurry, a lot of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her eyes with stars were full of mixed emotions. There was both worry and a little worry, and before he could take a closer look, the man next to the woman suddenly moved, as if he noticed that his gaze was blocking the woman first.
The man was stunned, his originally pale face trembled after seeing the man's eyes clearly, and the man's eyes were cold. Dressed in a long robe, with an extraordinary bearing, standing tall in front of the woman, very matched, looking at his eyes as if warning, he immediately looked away, pretending to have a headache and lay back again.
Ruan Mingjiao on the side didn't know why, she looked sideways in the direction that Yan Zheng was staring at, and didn't find anything abnormal, but Fu Hui had already noticed that Yan Zheng was wrong, and found that the person had been staring at Ruan Mingjiao, and he was a little helpless. This group of people is sick and still uneasy, if they collide with the county lord, the imperial history in front of him will not give up.
As soon as he changed his mind, he stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to the side hall to rest, and the three of them came in, there were already the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital and the county order Xiangcheng of Jinzhou, and several people followed behind him together, and walked towards the side hall very respectfully and solemnly. Such a solemn appearance is quite eye-catching in the eyes of those who have a heart, and I can't help but guess the identities of the two.
"I remember that His Majesty sent the Sanpin Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court to patrol various places, and I saw that the person was dressed well, and his instruments were extraordinary, and he was really a little gentle with the legendary Imperial Shi Yan Zheng."
Some people sat up, looked at the direction in which several people left, and couldn't stop analyzing, some agreed with his analysis, and some people disdained it, and sneered: "Pull it down!" People are dignified three-grade imperial history, and it is not a fool's dream to come to see us in Jinzhou, and the imperial court sent a doctor to diagnose and treat us, which is already a great favor, so don't think about those unrealistic. ”
The previous person was refuted, when he felt that his face could not be hung up, he sat up straight and was about to refute, but his chest shook, and he couldn't help coughing, and while coughing, he said to the person who was opposite him: "Then, then what kind of identity do you say about those two people, who can make the commanders in the palace bow down like that, and these county orders, who else can Sima be so respectful except for the palace people." ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was not guessing and had confirmed it, his chest shook violently, and the doctor on the side hurriedly stopped him, "Don't argue, your head doesn't hurt anymore, and you don't have to drink the medicine if you toss like this." ”
The doctor grabbed the two of them, and with a warning look in his eyes, he glanced at the man, lay back down, and turned around to stop looking at the man who was arguing with him, and the man also snorted coldly and fell asleep.
The farce between the two lasted only for a while, but the people next to them didn't have time to watch the play, and they were weak and weak, with splitting headaches, how could they have the energy to persuade them.
The farce in the courtyard naturally could not be transmitted to the side hall in the front yard, Yan Zheng and Ruan Mingjiao just sat down in the side hall, Ruan Mingjiao just took a few sips of the tea that was served, and the heat was dissipated, and someone came in outside the door, she hurriedly put down the tea cup and looked out of the door.
Three middle-aged men wearing white aprons, wearing face towels, only showing two eyes like her, their slightly tired eyes showed a bit of respect, and they were thin and didn't know if they were tired by the diagnosis and treatment of this half month, they stopped in front of Ruan Mingjiao, and bowed their hands together: "The ministers have seen the county lord, Lord Yushi." ”
"The three adults work hard, don't be polite, get up and talk."
Only then did the three imperial doctors get up and retreat to the side to sit down, Ruan Mingjiao and Yan Zheng then set their eyes on the other person, the government and county Ling Xiangcheng looked forty or fifty years old, his back was rickety, his expression was tired and resentful, the whole person looked in poor spirits, and the redness in his eyes was even worse.
After the three imperial doctors sat down, he took a few steps forward, lifted his robe and knelt down, and slammed his head on the ground, "Weichen has ordered the county to see the county lord in the city, Lord Yushi." ”
He gave such a big gift, but Ruan Mingjiao really couldn't afford it, Yan Zheng had already gotten up and walked over to help Xiangcheng, and the forty or fifty-year-old man always lowered his head. It was hard to hide the sadness, and the shoulders shrugged, but he always forced himself to refuse to speak.
I don't know if he is acting like a show to the two of them, but it is really rare for such a sentimental parent to cry. Even the appearance touched Ruan Mingjiao's heart, and when his mood stabilized and helped him sit down, Yan Zheng asked about the specific situation in Jinzhou.
These displaced people began to enter the city in April, and they originally thought that they would be just ordinary displaced people who would continue to move north for a few days and stay in Beijing's own imperial court to settle down. But I don't want these people to go crazy as soon as they enter the city, snatching food and money everywhere, running to restaurants and restaurants to eat and drink without giving money, and the people in the restaurant chase them out and are attacked by the crowd, and in the end they are gone.
When he heard this, he took the soldiers of the government to suppress it, and instead of being arrested, these people intensified their efforts. Relying on the fact that there were many people and were not afraid of death, they confronted the officers and soldiers of the government office, and Xiang Cheng originally went with the idea of suppressing and pacifying, but the soldiers of the government government only made a symbolic move, and did not dare to hurt their lives, and finally they were forced to retreat by the displaced people until the government closed the door before they would stop.
The soldiers of the imperial court were forced to retreat by some unarmed homeless people, and it made people laugh when they said it, but Xiang Cheng knew that they were just ordinary people, and their homes were destroyed for a while, and the tense state of fleeing all the way had not eased.
So, he gave up the idea of suppression, turned around and set up soup kitchens in various parts of the city, and asked people to send letters back to the capital, asking His Majesty and the palace officials to give a way to deal with it.
But they didn't want to wait for the imperial court to help, this group of people seemed to have found the lifeblood of Xiang Cheng and the others, and they didn't plan to leave in the city. If the soup kitchen stall is a soup kitchen, it will be troubled, and the stall will be overturned, and the city will be cursed for inaction as a common official, so he will fool them with this thing.
Xiang Cheng came forward to admonish them, but he was almost caught and beaten, and he recognized their faces, that is, a group of scoundrels, blaming others for their loss of home, waiting for the court to help, and not listening to the slightest good words.
Xiang Cheng also had a temper, and increased his troops to tell them that if they didn't want to drink porridge, they would go to Suizhou, and if they loved it, even if they reported it to the palace and reported it to His Majesty, he was not afraid.
He has endured it for a long time, and it doesn't work in serving and receiving help, but it is this sudden outburst that deters people and makes less trouble.
It didn't take long to settle down one of the mother and son but a few days later suddenly had a fever that did not go away, diarrhea did not stop, he sent a doctor to diagnose and treat, at first thought that it was just after the flood, the cold all the way and rushing, the life is not easy to live so the discomfort caused by the discomfort, and there is no big problem, according to the ordinary to the wind cold and stomach disease treatment.
But after a long time, I found that something was wrong, after two days of treatment, the symptoms of the two did not alleviate anything, but became more serious, the child's face was burning red, unconscious, her mother held the child and begged over and over again.
On the other hand, there were also people among the doctors and homeless people who had been in contact with them, and Xiang Cheng and the others realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked for a doctor to see, only to find that it was not ordinary wind chill and stomach disease at all, but epidemic disease, which was transmitted through oral breathing.
They quickly divided these people into three waves, one group of asymptomatic people were placed in camps in various Shizhou places to prevent reinfection with wind and cold, one was symptomatic and green in the government office, and the other was very sick and unconscious and placed in the government office and a surrounding ancestral hall.
In addition, they also ordered the original people of the state to stay at home. Don't go out, sit on protective measures, and every day there will be people from the government to deliver food and doctors to treat each family, in case this situation also occurs among these people.
They responded in a timely manner, and the people of Zhuzhou were very few infected, but in this way, the daily workload and consumption of goods were not at all what the government of Jinzhou could bear, so Xiang Cheng had to be cheeky and ask Fu Hui to send another letter to His Majesty, asking for support from the imperial court.
On the other hand, Fu Hui also heard that Yan Zheng's affairs in Ningcheng were almost handled, so he asked people to go to Ningcheng to invite Yan Zheng.
Everyone listened to Xiang Cheng's words, their minds were heavy, their faces were gloomy, Xiang Cheng and Cheng County had this courage and reaction speed, it was not easy for Xiang Cheng and County to have this courage and reaction speed, and it was the best he could do to control the epidemic and prevent him from continuing to diverge, his temples were white and he didn't know how much pressure he was undergoing.
Yan Zheng's eyes drooped slightly, and he sighed slightly, "It's hard work for adults, it is not easy to react so quickly and prevent the epidemic from spreading to the surrounding counties, so there is no need to blame yourself." ”
"I have a prescription here, which was prescribed by a doctor I know, and he only knew that it was an epidemic, and I don't know if it is useful according to the prescription he re-prescribed when he treated the epidemic in the past, and he bothered the three imperial doctors to take a look."
