Chapter 691: The mud can't hold up the wall

The old prince ran forward in disbelief and stopped the pair of officers and soldiers, telling them to put the bodies down.

Seeing that it was the old prince, the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey and put down the planks they were carrying.

The old prince looked at the man, then at the woman, and finally at the child lying in the woman's arms, and they were all breathless.

"W-what's going on?" The old prince asked angrily.

Seeing this, the deputy commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing ran over, first saluted the old prince, and then explained: "They died of a sudden epidemic. ”

"In the afternoon, they were obviously fine, how could they get the epidemic!" The old prince didn't believe it.

Deputy Commander Chang explained: "The epidemic in the Shannian Camp is very fierce and urgent, and it can kill people in an hour or two, and it can't be saved. ”

The old prince inspected the bodies of a family of three one by one, and they all had blue faces, but they could not see any scars, as if they had died of a sudden illness.

The old prince sighed heavily, and he asked the family of three to come back, not wanting them to have a sudden epidemic.

"They've come back from outside this afternoon, and they've had a full meal?"

The deputy commander replied: "I received porridge and steamed buns." ”

The old prince wiped his face, at least he ate a full meal before he died, so as not to be a starving ghost.

"What to do with this corpse?"

"The disease is contagious, and the corpses will be incinerated."

The old prince waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to carry the body away. Although he felt uncomfortable, this epidemic could not be cured overnight.

He looked towards the porridge shed and saw several people running back from outside, these people were obviously hungry, picked up the steamed buns in the basket and ate them heavily.

The one who put the rice served rice porridge, and another person stuffed a steamed bun and urged them to eat inside.

In the sparse past, many of those who escaped have returned.

The old prince got back on his horse, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "How can this epidemic be prevented?" ”

"The hospital issued a prescription, the court prepared medicine, and when you got sick, you took medicine." The deputy commander replied.

The old prince thought for a moment and said, "It is still necessary to separate those who are sick from those who are not, after all, the infection is ...... Hey, since it's infected, your officers and soldiers have to dispose of the corpses, isn't there anyone who gets infected? ”

Deputy Commander Chang coughed dryly and said, "We...... We don't have any contagions. ”

The old prince glanced at the officers and soldiers who carried the corpse away, and then at the guards outside, and there was no one wearing a veil to protect them.

Could it be that this epidemic only recognizes the people of the Good Mind Camp?

After the old prince left, the deputy commander wiped his sweat and ran towards the tent in the distance.

"People are gone?"

"Back to Your Highness, the old prince has left."

Deputy Commander Chang raised his head, but saw Fourth Highness Qin Shengrui leaning on the Taishi chair covered with a thick cashmere blanket, and yawned after listening to his words.

"This old thing is annoying."

"Your Highness, why don't you go back to your house to rest?"

"His Royal Highness also wants to, but this matter must not be accidental."

"There are already quite a few fugitives back."

"Heh, this trick really works, these cheap slaves came back after smelling the rice."

Deputy Commander Chang lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Those who escaped should have died, but they just stayed in these old and weak women and children in the Shannian Camp......

Qin Shengrui squinted, "They are all dead, and Shengjing will be clean." ”

After speaking, Qin Shengrui waved his hand, "Okay, continue to guard outside." ”

The deputy commander of the Standing Committee listened to the order, and although he did not agree with Qin Shengrui's approach, he did not dare to say anything. When he went out, he saw Jiang Yunying coming, and the maidservant behind her was carrying a food box.

After the permanent deputy commander saluted, the side concubine smiled gently at him, "The permanent deputy commander has worked hard, you have made great efforts this time, and His Royal Highness will definitely reuse you in the future." ”

"Where the duty lies, I dare not ask for credit."

"Your Highness cherishes your talents, the permanent deputy commander follows His Highness, sooner or later, the deputy commander will be removed."

The Standing Deputy Commander suddenly thought of their commander, and suddenly fell ill at this critical time, was it because he refused to obey the Fourth Highness?

After Jiang Yunying finished speaking, the maidservant girl took the food box in her hand, asked her to wait outside, and then entered the tent alone.

Seeing that Qin Shengrui was dozing off with his chin propped up, snoring one after another, a trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Yunying's eyes.

She stepped forward and called Qin Shengrui softly, and when she saw that he had woken up, she immediately put on a smiling face.

"Your Highness is tired, and his face is thin." Jiang Yunying said and put the food box on the table and laid out the meals inside one by one, "The concubine is worried that you won't eat well, so she asked the kitchen to make a few dishes you like to eat, and specially brought them to you." ”

Seeing Jiang Yunying's gentleness, Qin Shengrui pulled her into his arms and couldn't help but linger.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness! Jiang Yunying pushed Qin Shengrui hard, seeing that his face was heavy, he was busy and pretended to be shy, and took his hand and put it on his stomach, "The child also misses his father." ”

Qin Shengrui saw that Jiang Yunying's stomach was already bulging, and he really shouldn't mess around, so he was a little disappointed at the moment. He withdrew his hand, pushed Jiang Yunying to the side, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.

Jiang Yunying was pushed by him, his stomach almost hit the corner of the table, and he couldn't help but glare at Qin Shengrui secretly in shock. I saw him gobbling it up, and he didn't eat at all, and he was even more disgusted.

"Serve me a bowl of soup." Qin Shengrui opened his mouth to speak, and the rice flew out together.

Jiang Yunying suppressed her disgust, stepped forward and filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Qin Shengrui, "Your Highness, be careful of scalding." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Yunying sat down on the side and glanced outward, "Your Highness, you must not be in a hurry in this matter of the Shannian Camp, a few or a dozen deaths a day, it is presumably due to the epidemic that they died, no one doubts, but if dozens of people die at once, they will die in a few days, and it will inevitably be in chaos." ”

"You're a woman, don't meddle."

"Your Highness......"

"Alright, that's long-winded!"

Jiang Yunying secretly sighed, the mud couldn't support the wall, it really made sense. Even if you are forced to do it, there will be a time when it will fall to the ground sooner or later.

This poisonous trick, the person who made the trick hid behind, he rushed forward, once something happened, he would naturally be responsible.

"Your Highness, it is a father and son, a brother, and sometimes you have to guard against it, that ......"

Before Jiang Yunying finished speaking, an officer and soldier came in to report: "Your Highness, the people below made a mistake and distributed a pot of poisonous porridge to the people inside." ”

Qin Shengrui glanced up at the officer and soldier, and scolded: "Waste! ”

Jiang Yunying couldn't help but interject: "Can it still be saved?" Don't let them eat or go to a doctor......"

Qin Shengrui slapped his chopsticks on the table, "Shut up!" ”

"Your Highness, this matter must not be negligent......"

"Get out!"

Jiang Yunying also wanted to persuade Qin Shengrui to be careful, but it could be seen that his face sank, and he could only close his mouth and walk out.

When she was about to go out, she heard Qin Shengrui say: "No, dozens of people will die, they are all going to die anyway, it's not bad for these two days, Ming'er will throw it into the fire pit in the morning." ”
