On the afternoon of the third day, we finally arrived in Liucheng.

Zhao Mocheng and Ye Nian and their entourage arrived at the gate of the city but were stopped by the soldiers, "There is martial law in the city, no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”

Liu Jian waved his knife and pointed at the soldiers guarding the door, "Let you be too vigilant to greet you, Lord Qincha has arrived!" ”

The soldier hurriedly knelt down, but his speech was a little hesitant, and Vice General Liu drank, "Why don't you go quickly?!" ”

The soldier was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "Spare your life! It's not that the small ones don't go, but the people in the city rioted and surrounded the government, and the Taishou can't come! ”

Zhao Mocheng and Ye Nian glanced at each other, and ordered Liu Jian to send someone to protect the imperial doctor to stay outside the city, and then quickly rushed to the mansion with the soldiers guarding the door.

The streets were deserted, the teahouses were dilapidated, and there was a dead silence.

When I arrived at the mansion, I saw a large number of people, about 1,000 people, crowding the long street in front of the mansion, shouting and scolding to let Taishou Chen Tong get out.

Zhao Mocheng asked with a heavy face, "What about the garrison in Liucheng?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied: "The famine has not been properly handled, many people in the city have been infected with the plague again, and the officers and soldiers have been sent to arrest the infected people. ”

Zhao Mocheng looked at the closed gate of the mansion, his face sank, and he stepped forward, Ye Nian whispered a few words to Liu Jian, followed Zhao Mocheng's side, and stood in front of the mansion with him.

The rioters looked at them with some confusion, and a man shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Mocheng replied loudly: "I am Zhao Mocheng, the secretary of the household department, and I am also the minister appointed by the emperor......

Suddenly, a shout interrupted him: "There is another dog official, you officials protect each other, and it is all us defenseless people who are harmed!" ”

The people were immediately aroused, and transferred their hatred for Chen Tong and Xiao Yunqing to Zhao Mocheng, and they picked up the stones on the ground and smashed them over.

Zhao Mocheng blocked in front of Ye Nian, did not dodge or dodge, and instantly his face was colored, Liu Jian led the troops to protect Zhao Mocheng and Ye Nian behind him, blocking the angry people.

When the scene was about to erupt, the garrison had also arrived and surrounded the rioting people!

Seeing this, a man in the crowd angrily incited the people: "Horizontal and vertical is death, fight with them!" ”

The people rushed up, and there was chaos in an instant!

Ye Nian glanced at Liu Jian, Liu Jian understood, and led the soldiers to squeeze into the crowd.

A moment later, the soldier came up with several men who had just stirred up the people and pressed them to the ground.

Liu Jian put the knife on the neck of one of the men: "If you dare to gather a crowd to make trouble and hurt the Kipchak minister, I will cut you first to make an example!" ”

Zhao Mocheng glanced at Ye Nian, saw that she nodded slightly, instantly understood, and hurriedly stopped it: "Don't hurt the people!" ”

Liu Jian respectfully leaned over and replied, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Zhao Mocheng stepped forward to help the man up: "This official is here to make decisions for the people of Liucheng, while the people are not injured at present, can you let them calm down and listen to me a few words?" ”

The man looked at Zhao Mocheng, his face was smashed by a stone, and blood had oozed out, but his complexion remained unchanged, which was not the same as Chen Tong's dog official who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

With a wave of his hand, he called out to the rioters to stop fighting.

Zhao Mocheng's voice was clear, and he looked at the angry people, "This official is in charge of the household department, the emperor asked me to come here, and I specially explained that the eight thousand six hundred and fifty-three registered people in Liucheng must be recorded in the register!" The court has not forgotten you! ”

Zhao Mocheng saw that some of the people below put down the farm tools in their hands, and continued: "The emperor heard that Liucheng was hit by a disaster, and immediately sent his most trusted prince to come to the rescue, and now I heard that there is an epidemic in Liucheng, and I asked General Ye Nian and General Ye Nian to bring the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to come for treatment. ”

The people were already desperate, but now they knew that the emperor had not given up on Liucheng, and the desire to survive poured out, and they all knelt on the ground one after another, wiping their tears, and muttering: "The emperor has not forgotten us!" ”

"It's all Chen Tong who deserves to die, the emperor must have been deceived by him!"

The man who had just taken the lead knelt on the ground and shouted with red eyes: "My lord, we have no choice, rather than being buried alive, it is better to die with that dog official!" ”

Zhao Mocheng helped the man up, "Everyone get up!" Go home with peace of mind! This official assures you that this matter will not be investigated, and the imperial doctor will start treatment as soon as possible later, and no one of the people of Liucheng will die innocently! ”

When the people heard this, they cheered, and they all knelt down and bowed to Zhao Mocheng a few times before leaving one after another.

Zhao Mocheng looked at the man beside him and asked him, "What's your name?" ”

The man hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the adult, the villain's name is Ding Yu, and the family used to run a liquor store on this street!" ”

Zhao Mocheng asked: "This official has just come to Liucheng, and he doesn't know the current situation of Liucheng, are you willing to stay and help?" ”

That Ding Yu hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Let the adults command!" ”

Ye Nian glanced at Zhao Mocheng, in just three years, he has gone from a sixth-grade small repair to a third-grade household book, except for Shen Bingwen's support, he does have some ability!

After the crowd dispersed, the door of the government office soon opened, Chen Tong hurriedly came out with the palace guards, Zhao Mocheng sneered and said: "Chen Taishou is finally willing to show up!" ”

Chen Tong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, forgive your sins, please come in, the four princes have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Ye Nian instructed Vice General Liu to take the imperial doctor into the city as soon as possible, and then entered the palace with Zhao Mocheng.

Xiao Yunqing was in a hurry in the palace, and after seeing Zhao Mocheng, he hurriedly asked, "Then the people have dispersed?" ”

Zhao Mocheng nodded, Xiao Yunqing felt a little relieved, and asked him again: "How did my father know that there was an epidemic in Liucheng?" ”

Zhao Mocheng gave Xiao Yunqing a look, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't panic! The head of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Sun, has arrived, and when the epidemic is controlled, he can escort His Royal Highness back to Beijing! ”

Xiao Yunqing understood what he meant, as long as the epidemic was controlled, then his father should not punish him. Immediately suppressed his panic, sat on the main seat, and remained silent.

Not long after, the first three people of the old courtyard had also arrived at the mansion, Xiao Yunqing seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward to invite Sun Boyuan to take a seat.

The head of the Sun Yuan asked directly: "There is an epidemic in Liucheng, why are the Chinese medicine halls in the city closed?" ”

Chen Tong hurriedly spoke: "There is no medicine for sale in the medical hall!" ”

Ding Yu shouted: "You lie! Obviously, you didn't let the medical center administer medicine to the people! ”

Xiao Yunqing glanced at Ding Yu's displeased face, and Zhao Mocheng directly ordered Liu Jian: "Take down Chen Tong!" ”

Xiao Yunqing stood up abruptly and looked at Zhao Mocheng in disbelief, Zhao Mocheng frowned slightly and glanced at him, Xiao Yunqing held back his anger and turned a deaf ear to Chen Tong's desperate cries for help.

Ye Nian looked at Sun Boyuan: "Lord of the Academy, how should I deal with it now?" ”

Sun Boyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Where are the people in the city who are showing symptoms now?" ”

Ding Yu hurriedly replied: "All of them were imprisoned in Houqiu Village outside the city by Chen Tong's troops. ”

Sun Boyuan nodded, "Yuanhua and I will go to Houqiu Village later, take a look at the specific symptoms first, and then study the prescription for the right medicine!" ”

"I have two prescriptions here, Su Qing will tell you how to use them, Lord Zhao will try his best to gather the doctors in the city who are not infected with the disease, the efficiency will naturally be faster, if the medicinal materials are not enough, just mobilize some more from the nearby state capital, let's arrange it first, and then discuss it when the old man comes back from Houqiu!"

After Sun Boyuan finished arranging, he hurriedly asked Ding Yu to lead the way and go to Houqiu Village. Ye Nian also left with the head of the old courtyard.

Liu Jian stayed behind to obey Zhao Mocheng's orders, and took Li Suqing to summon the surviving doctors in the city.

At this time, only Xiao Yunqing and Zhao Mocheng were left in the hall.

"What the hell are you going to do! Why did you take down Chen Tong? ”

Zhao Mocheng turned to look at him and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness must know how to choose!" The incident in Liucheng has suffered heavy casualties, and someone has to bear it! ”

Xiao Yunqing was a little reluctant: "Is there no other way?" This Chen Tong is a distant relative of my grandfather, and he is extremely loyal to me! ”

"Your Highness hasn't figured out the current situation? Even if the plague is successfully resolved, you are afraid that it can only be regarded as a futile, if there is a slight mistake, the emperor is afraid that he will be even more disappointed in you! ”

Xiao Yunqing gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Now His Royal Highness should end this matter as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible, King Jin is now in the limelight, if he takes the opportunity to win over the ministers, I am afraid that he may be invited to make a prince at the end of the year!"

Xiao Yunqing's complexion changed greatly, and he was a little resentful of his bad luck, obviously he was just here to relieve the disaster, why did he make an epidemic; I wanted to go back to Beijing as soon as possible and get rid of it, but how could this news reach the capital so quickly?
