The two deceased who were found were all men in their thirties.

It stands to reason that a man of this age and strong body, even if he is infected with the epidemic, should not die first.

Chen Jian'an didn't allow Jiang Fu to follow, and when he came to the refugee shed with his nose covered, as soon as he approached, he heard coughing sounds one after another.

He frowned at the refugee shed, which had been many fewer than the day before, and asked the soldiers on guard:

"Didn't they just die two, why are there so many fewer people?"

The little soldier arched his hand weakly and replied truthfully:

"My lord, the doctor came to see it this morning, and said that after the epidemic, many people did not dare to stay in the refugee shed, so they dragged their families to the mountains."

There were no orders from above to stop people from leaving, and they turned a blind eye and didn't care.

"Nonsense! The snow is going to fall in the next few days, and there is not even a shelter from the wind and rain on the mountain, and you still don't freeze to death at night?

Although the epidemic is terrible, it is not a terminal disease, as long as the right medicine is prescribed to heal it soon, you quickly send people up the mountain to find the people who have left.

Where is Lang Zhong now? I'll go meet him first. ”

I knew that I was lazy last night, and now I have to go all over the mountains to find someone, and the little soldier can't wait to slap his mouth.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he could only nod his head and take Chen Jian'an to the stove where Lang Zhong was boiling medicine, and then asked someone to go with him to the mountains to search for refugees.

"My lord, this disease is not difficult to treat, and now the weather is cold, and the epidemic spreads slowly.

It's just that we don't have enough medicinal materials here、、、、 and if we don't take medicine, no matter how small the illness is, he won't be able to get better." ”

Lang Zhong said and sighed, Lin Yang's land is barren, there is not much food, and no one grows herbs.

The herbs from outside are transported here, and the price has doubled several times, and in this shabby place in Lin Yang, herbs are rare, and ordinary people can't afford to eat them.

At present, such a large demand is to empty all the pharmacies in Lin Yang City, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make up the medicinal materials needed.

After Jiang Fu returned home, he found all the carts of medicinal materials he had brought, and all the ones that could be used were sent outside the city.

Lang Zhong, who was worried about herbs, saw these herbs, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"Good guy, Master Chen just said that he would find a way to find medicinal materials, and he sent them in the blink of an eye, will he be able to do tricks?

Hurry up and bring these herbs in, I have prepared them in different categories, and you guys have helped to cook them together every day and distribute them to the refugees! ”

There are many refugees, and there are many mouths for medicine.

Although these medicinal herbs could not last for a few days, they were enough to bring the epidemic under control.

I only hope that Master Chen can get more medicinal herbs back, and he can cure the villagers who have been infected.

But the situation is far less optimistic than Lang Zhong imagined.

Chen Jian'an didn't bring anyone with him, and he rushed all the way to Luliang City, where the prefect was located, to ask for help.

Luliang City is the richest city in Lingnan, rich in materials and many merchants, and it is not too far from Lin Yang, and it is also the people of Ming Xia.

"The city is closed today, and no idle people can enter or leave, so where did you come from, go back."

As soon as Chen Jian'an arrived at the gate of Luliang City, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

He turned over and dismounted, took out his county order token, gathered in front of the officers and soldiers, and revealed his identity.

"This official is the order of Lin County, and he has something important to ask to see Governor Zhang, and he is tired of opening the city gate."

The two officers and soldiers looked at each other after seeing the token, drew their knives one after another, and put them in front of Chen Jian'an defensively.

"I heard that there was an epidemic in Linyang, and the prefect was afraid that the epidemic would spread to Luliang City, so he ordered the city to be closed.

Since the lord is from Lin Yang, then we can't let it go, if you infect the prefect with the sick spirit, wouldn't it be a sin for us to defend the city? ”

Chen Jian'an frowned, and clenched the token in his hand, Governor Zhang didn't plan to care about the life and death of the people in Lin Yang!

However, Lin Yang lacked medical treatment, and there were hundreds of thousands of innocent people behind him, if he couldn't go back with medicinal materials, not only those refugees, but also afraid that a city wall would not be able to protect the people in the city for too long.

"Okay, since the prefect is afraid that the lower official will have sick spirits, then the lower officials will wait outside the city, and when the sick qi on his body is blown away by the wind, wait for the prefect to be willing to see me!"

After Chen Jian'an finished speaking, he turned around and walked to a conspicuous place in the open space of the city gate, and sat on the ground with his clothes on.

The officers and soldiers defending the city didn't take it seriously, thinking that when it got dark later, he would be too cold to stand it and leave.

But it didn't work out, and Chen Jian'an didn't move until the second half of the night.

Seeing that his face turned white from the cold, the officers and men panicked, fearing that if he really froze, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

So he took advantage of the change of guard to report to Governor Zhang.

Governor Zhang's mansion just took in a beautiful concubine last month, and she was staying in her courtyard today, and she didn't rest all night, when she heard the news from the housekeeper, she impatiently sent him away:

"If you freeze to death, you will freeze to death, what does it matter to the son of a mere waiter in the Ministry of Rites, get out of here, and don't have the interest of a bad master."

The butler stood outside the door, heard the old man's impatient tone, did not dare to say more, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed down.

But I was bitter in my heart, I was afraid that the old man would forget that the Chen family was a soft persimmon, but their daughter-in-law was not easy to pinch!

Chen Jian'an sat outside the city all night, and Jiang Fu also waited at home all night, but Chen Jian'an did not come back for a long time.

After dawn, she couldn't wait any longer, and blocked the county Cheng who had just gotten up at the door of her house.

"Lord Chen? He said yesterday that he was going to Luliang City for help.

Madame, don't worry, Luliang is not far from here, presumably it must be Governor Zhang's mansion who left him overnight. ”

Stay overnight?

Jiang Fu pursed her lips, knowing that it would be impossible.

Chen Jian'an is worried about the country and the people, no one knows better than himself.

Now that the people are in dire straits, how can he sleep peacefully in the prefect's house?

Unless it doesn't go well when you call for help......

Jiang Fu returned home with some worry, and when she was hesitating to send someone to take a look, a strange man in a black power suit appeared out of nowhere, knelt on the ground coldly, and stopped in front of her.

"Madam, your lord's condition is very bad now, please go and save him!"

Jiang Fu didn't care about pursuing his identity, he was shocked, and asked anxiously:

"What's going on, you tell me carefully!"

It turned out that Chen Jian'an had a fever and fainted to the ground in the early hours of yesterday morning, and the soldiers defending the city were afraid that it was an epidemic and did not dare to touch him.

went to the city to report back to the prefect but was kicked out.

The gate of Luliang City is sealed, no one enters or exits at all, and no one cares about important matters, so don't adults have to die at the gate like this?

Qi Zhou, who couldn't show up because of his identity, was anxious and angry, so he had no choice but to come back and ask his wife for help.

Jiang Fu is a person recognized by the young master, so it should be okay for him to be exposed to her.

After listening to Qi Zhou's words, Jiang Fu was still angry to death.

It's really a tiger that doesn't wield, and any cow or horse dares to come out and slip!

It depends on the owner to beat the dog, and if he is not dead, the Zhang family dares to blatantly toss his father-in-law?

It's turned upside down!

"Okay, Miss Ben didn't expect to see that prefect's side, it would be even more difficult than entering the palace to face the saint! Prepare the horses!

I personally went to Luliang City to see what kind of precious place it was, and others had to risk their lives if they wanted to enter the city! ”

After Jiang Fu finished speaking, she left her aunt to take care of the house, and she went out with two guards.

Since when he arrived, he saw from afar the empty city gate, where a man and a horse were lying, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Feiyun seemed to want to warm his master, lying beside him, and using his bulky body to block the cold wind for his master.

Jiang Fu chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly dismounted and ran over.

She squatted on the ground and picked up Chen Jian'an's upper body, and reached out to probe his snort, but fortunately he was not dead.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Fu noticed his unnatural red face, and thought that Qizhou said that he had a fever all night, so he quickly took off his fur cloak and wrapped it around his body.

handed her over to the Jiang family guards behind him, and walked towards the city gate.

When the officers and soldiers defending the city saw that someone had come to save this hot potato, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they only regarded Jiang Fu as an ordinary official and did not take her seriously.

The men in their family are like this, what else can she do as a woman? It's just a splash and a roll, and it doesn't hurt for them.

But Jiang Fu is not an ordinary official.

She walked closer, and without saying a word, she reached out and pulled out the matching knife on the waist of the officer and soldier, and slashed at his shoulder, and immediately bled profusely.

The people on the side looked stupid.

This fucking knife will break the armor? Is this normal woman supposed to have the strength?

It wasn't until the man collapsed to the ground with excessive blood loss that everyone reacted, and other officers and soldiers hurried to help.

"Bold, the city gate is heavy with a knife to hurt people, arrest her for me!"

Hearing this, the soldiers at the city gate rushed up and surrounded Jiang Fu, and the Jiang family was so guarded that they almost put down Chen Jian'an, who was in his hand, and went back to save people.

Jiang Fu unhurriedly threw down the knife in his hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands in disgust, and then took out another thing from his arms.

A bright yellow decree.

As soon as he saw this thing, before Jiang Fu could raise it above his head, everyone around him threw down his weapons and knelt on the ground.

Jiang Fu did not unfold the holy decree, but raised his voice:

"I have His Majesty's holy decree to give to Governor Zhang, and if I don't open the city gate quickly, if I delay Your Majesty's holy decree, I can't afford to see your nine clans!"

As soon as they heard the punishment of the nine clans, the officers and soldiers were immediately frightened, and the leader quickly got up and asked people to open the city gate.

He respectfully followed behind Jiang Fu and his party and escorted them into the city.

"Boss, something is wrong, if there is a holy decree in the capital, it is impossible to bypass Luliang and send it directly to Lin Yang.

The holy decree in her hand can't be fake, right? ”

The leading officers and soldiers paused when they heard this, then glanced at the holy decree in Jiang Fu's hand and shook their heads.

"I saw the decree once at the prefect's office, and that's it.

They came from the capital, maybe it was His Majesty's order to let them come by the way?

Don't care, it's true or fake anyway, it doesn't matter to us, just send people to it. ”

The little soldier closed his mouth when he heard this, and obediently sent the person respectfully to the prefect's mansion.
