Chapter 315: Overcoming Difficulties Together (2)
Zhou Dan got out of the carriage, Situ Duncan saw it, and hurriedly greeted him to salute, and he was rushed two steps away, and stretched out his hand to support him.
"Boss, don't be polite, don't let you ...... Are you in command in the secretary's house? Why did you come out in person again? You are old and weak, this is too dangerous, go back quickly, let your deputies do it, you can rest assured...... Someone ...... coming."
Lord Deng hurriedly waved his hand, stopped Zhou Dan's kindness, raised his bloodshot eyes, and said sincerely and firmly: "The grandfather is here, the old minister, how can you hide behind?" Don't worry, this old bone...... can withstand the toss, and must not let ...... The ...... of those who have lost their conscience Succeeded".
Xiao Wu's heart rolled, and he naturally reached out to support him, looking very tired, but the old man who exuded an awe-inspiring aura all over his body gritted his teeth and said abruptly.
"Boss, I swear I'm going to catch those damned ones and ...... them A thousand cuts"
gave Xiao Wu a look, and Zhou Dan stopped her from losing control.
Deng Lele's father, Duncan, turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, who was very rude in etiquette and dressed in internal history, and already understood a little in his heart.
Duncan once saw Xiao Wu's figure from a distance when his son Deng Lele was buried, and she was crumbling at that time, presumably injured, or saddened by her son's death.
Duncan knew that his son was engaged in secret affairs, and the young man in front of him should be his son's colleague, or even a friend, the old man's eyes were misty, he pursed his shriveled mouth, patted Xiao Wu's hand and said, "Good job! I believe you, but you have to ...... Stay safe".
These sounds like ordinary conversations, only the three of Zhou Dan can understand the true meaning of the words.
Xiao Wu couldn't bear it anymore, she bowed deeply, and hurriedly returned to the car, she didn't want others to see the tears she couldn't hold back.
Looking at Xiao Wu's departing figure, Duncan sighed in his heart and immediately gave Zhou Dan a salute.
"Grandpa, the king has a great trust from his family and country, so you can't help but cherish yourself, take a look...... Just go back, what's the matter, old minister, I will report it regularly."
"It is precisely because the king has a trust, Dan, that he can't help but be with the people, boss, don't worry"
Zhou Dan kept looking at the people gathered next to the waterwheel, and after saying goodbye to Situ Duncan, he walked over to the people.
Junbao stretched out his arm and blocked Zhou Dan at a distance of five meters from the people, and never took away the blocking arm.
Zhou Dan stood still and spoke to the people who looked over, "Ladies and gentlemen of the Great Zhou, I am Zhou Dan, and I am ordered by the king...... Responsible for supervising the country. Dan, there is a great trust of the king, so that the big business thugs ...... Evil deeds succeeded, and plagues were sown...... Harm our people. Dan, I want to tell you that when the king learned of this, he was so anxious that he ordered Dan to do all his best to treat the sick and severely punish the most vicious mobs."
The crowd gathered more and more, and Junbao and the guards were on full alert, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Xiao Wu also quietly got out of the carriage, hiding behind the car, reaching into his sleeve, holding his dagger, and his alert eyes looked around to prevent his grandfather from being hurt by people with ulterior motives.
Zhou Dan continued, "Now, rumors are spreading that the imperial court is harming the sick and their families, which is a deliberate provocation by the saboteurs, intended to provoke dissatisfaction among the people, make you distrust the imperial court, and spread the plague to ...... There is no way to control it, just imagine, everyone hides it and doesn't report it, so who is there...... Can you survive this catastrophe?
Dan, I hereby assure you that all those who are sick will be gathered together at the treatment station, and there will be a royal doctor in the palace who will treat them there. For close contacts who may be infected, they are concentrated in several containment sites, and there is a preventive decoction to drink. We are doing this to prevent the plague from spreading and to protect you, your family, and more of the people in the city.
For the sake of your loved ones to receive timely treatment, for you and other loved ones, please believe that everything the imperial court is doing is out of concern for every people, and what is needed most now...... It is trust, trust Dan and all his ministers, the ability to catch the destroyers, the ability to help the sick, the ability to protect the people in the city...... will not be harmed greater, Dan and all the ministers will stick to Fengcheng with you, share weal and woe, help each other in the same boat, and tide over the difficulties together."
An old man took the lead in shouting, "Zhou Gong, you are a true gentleman......! Believe in Zhou Gong".
"Support the Imperial Court!"
"All in the same boat!"
“......”
"I also believe in you, my father is sick, please help heal quickly, I will take you...... Go to my house ......."
“......”
The people present unanimously expressed their support, some let the sick people at home be carried away, and some were willing to go to quarantine, and some took the initiative to persuade those who later took water to firmly believe in the imperial court.
Zhou Gong's warm and reassuring words spread rapidly in Fengcheng at a speed of one to ten, ten to hundreds......
Zhou Dan, who returned to the car, had tears in his eyes, he wept for the people's deep understanding of righteousness, and he also felt guilty for them in dire straits.
Xiao Wu silently handed over her handkerchief, "Brother Dan...... It's so good, it should be posted everywhere so that more people know about it...... The attitude of the imperial court, so that the rumors will be self-defeating, and they can no longer continue to confuse the people".
Zhou Dan was still immersed in the anger and felt that Xiao Wu's idea was very good, so he ordered it casually.
"Okay, you go back and draft the notice."
"Yes!"
Xiao Wu should bear it, and her eyes looked at the grandfather who was calm and sophisticated, temperamental, responsible, and eloquent in front of the people, and her heart was full of admiration.
In the largest treatment station, Xiao Wu smelled the strong smell of medicine from a distance, got out of the car with Zhou Dan, and saw the most tragic scene in the field surrounded by guards and guarded.
Densely packed with patients lay in tents, and some of the newly brought in, because there was no place, they could only lie in the open air, moaning and crying.
The scene was shocking and chilling.
Seeing that a big man was coming, a few patients who could still move suddenly staggered and rushed up, Junbao stood in front of Zhou Dan, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
A patient's hand had grabbed the corner of Zhou Dan's robe and was knocked off by Xiao Wu's wave.
The patient cried out, "My lord, help us."
Zhou Dan pulled away Junbao, who was on guard in front of him, and said to the patient gently: "Don't worry, we are doing our best to treat it, you can recuperate."
The patient was dragged away by the guards, and he was still struggling and shouting, "I want to live, I can't die, I still have four children to raise, save me......".
A white-haired imperial doctor, with a few doctors and the chief guard in charge of the guards, hurried over and wanted to kneel and salute, but was directly stopped by Zhou Dan and pointed to Xiao Wu and ordered.
"It's all polite, Imperial Doctor, hurry up and order someone to deal with her"
Seeing that Xiao Wu had touched the patient's hand, the imperial doctor understood, turned around and arranged for his subordinates, and left in a hurry with her, who was still unimpressed.
His hands were washed over and over again by the wine that was flushed, and his body was sprayed a lot, and Xiao Wu was released from the medical tent, just in time to meet Huang Qian, who was bearded, and the two were about to go to the commander-in-chief's big tent to discuss matters.
Smelling the strong smell of wine on Xiao Wu's body, Huang Qian frowned and asked, "Did you let the patient touch it?"
"Sort of, they're making too much fuss"
Huang Dan glanced at it, Xiao Wu who didn't care about it, she hadn't seen her for half a year, and she felt that her emotional injury was better, and she felt relieved in her heart.
Thinking of Zhou Dan, who was self-suffering and couldn't finish his heart, he felt that he was very pitiful, so he teased: "Alas, grandpa brought you, I really hate my own heart...... It's not broken yet, a girl's house, can't it be stopped?......? I warn you, this plague is more than you can imagine...... It's much more powerful, so let's be more careful."
Facing Huang Qian's gaze, Xiao Wu caught that the epidemic situation might be worse than she imagined, and she didn't want Huang Qian to worry, so she agreed.
"Okay!
In the commander-in-chief's tent, the old lady doctor was reporting the situation to Zhou Dan in the upper seat, "After our joint consultation, it was judged that this is a new type of rat plague, in our Great Zhou, this epidemic has never occurred, the epidemic has a rapid onset, rapid development and spread, and there are serious symptoms of poisoning, two or three days after the onset of the disease, there will be severe chest pain, coughing up bloody sputum, dyspnea and cyanosis, most of them will die of heart failure or internal bleeding within four or five days.
Zhou Dan frowned and asked, "Can you find a cure?"
The old lady doctor looked bitter and shook his head, "Not yet, we can only do it now, so that the patient can prolong his survival time by two or three days."
Glancing at Xiao Wu who came back, and then at Huang Qian beside her, Zhou Dan asked, "Imperial Doctor Huang, do you ...... about this?" What do you think?".
Huang Qianshi, full of worries, said: "From the military...... According to the investigation book sent over, the illness was on some beggars...... The first to start, the first to find out that they were sick and dead, were indeed beggars, which proves that they should have been the first to be infected, and some of the families of the deceased confirmed that most of the deceased had been to the dead beggars five or six days before...... The streets where they are often are artificially spread the possibility of spreading the plague on the beggars first
...... Greatly".
Xiao Wu was familiar with Huang Qian, and he didn't care if his identity was qualified to speak, so he interjected and asked: "Since it is man-made, what about this plague...... It should have happened, can we know...... Where has this plague occurred?".
The old lady said, "I've asked everything, but no one knows...... Where this plague has occurred, there is no record in the books."
Xiao Wu said again: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, most of them are outsiders, so let's make the list public, look at the city...... Is there anyone who knows, if you can meet someone who understands medicine, it will be better."
Everyone's eyes are looking at the insider, who doesn't understand etiquette and doesn't know the depths.
Thinking that what Xiao Wu said was reasonable, Zhou Dan looked at her and hurriedly took over the conversation, "When it is extraordinary, doing extraordinary things is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but you might as well try, then it's up to you...... Draft the list text, Junbao, you send a message to Deng Situ, and let me publicize it more and find more."
Jun Bao answered, "Yes!".
Realizing that he was just an internal official, and it was inappropriate to say too much in public, Xiao Wu hurriedly saluted respectfully, answered "yes", and did not squeak again.
After that, the old lady doctor and others reported on the supply of herbal medicines, personnel scheduling, how to treat them, etc., and at the request of Zhou Dan, on behalf of King Zhou, they comforted some mild patients, and said some words of encouragement.
