Xie Huchen and the others returned to Yizhou City after finishing their errands, it was getting late, and he had to agree to stay overnight in Yizhou Mansion before leaving.

This literati makes friends, nothing more than drinking and composing poems, singing to the moon, talking about the wind and the moon, talking about the stories of the ancients, the two are chatting happily, quite a bit of seeing each other and hating each other, and they don't feel that they have drunk for three rounds, and their eyes are hot.

"Brother Fei, it is said that you have the right to know the military and political affairs of a state, and you are not a small official, why do I think you are like a resentful woman who is locked in the deep palace, and I am a little unhappy in my heart. Xie Huchen asked.

"Those who know me, virtuous brother, I am just a literati, and I am just a good dancer on weekdays, talking about the past and the present, and I don't have much interest in this power. Fei Qing said and burped.

Suddenly, he changed his words and said: "But when I see my virtuous brother today, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, if I don't have the world in mind, be loyal to the country, and ask for my life for the people, then this book will be read in vain." ”

"Brother Fei said it well, come and give you another drink. Xie Huchen said.

The two of them drank a few more glasses, and they were drunk and fell down in front of the stone table in the courtyard together, until the rising sun shone on their faces and burned hot, and they woke up.

"Two adults, two adults......" Suddenly I saw Xiaohuzi running over in a panic.

"What are you panicking about?" Fei Qing scolded.

"Master Fei, something is wrong. Xiaohuzi replied breathlessly.

"What's the big deal?" Fei Qing and Xie Huchen asked in unison.

"You two should follow me to the castle tower and have a look. Xiaohuzi said.

Xie Huchen and Fei Qing hurriedly rushed to the city tower, and as far as they could see, a large group of people had gathered outside the city gate, and there were thousands of people in the dark.

"Where is the captain of the city gate, what is going on?" Fei Qing shouted loudly.

A general hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "My lord, it is said that there was a plague in Wanxian County, eighty miles north of Yizhou, and many people have died. ”

"But that's not the way to go. Looking at the crowd under the city, Fei Qing also panicked for a while, if these people carry the plague into the city, I am afraid that it will cause a bigger epidemic, but if they are left to fend for themselves, when someone goes up with a piece of paper, they will not be able to eat and walk around.

Xie Huchen thought for a while and said, "Brother Fei, I have a safe way. ”

Fei Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Brother Xian, please speak quickly." ”

"If the people of this city are left alone, even if they do not enter the city, it will still cause panic among the people in the city, so it is better to avoid the main road outside the city, set up a camp for them, send troops to govern them, allow them to enter but not leave, and send good doctors to go, and treat those who are infected immediately. Xie Huchen said.

"It is so good that I will immediately send someone to carry it out. Fei Qing replied.

"Also, let all the people who are in close contact with these people cover their mouths and noses with cloths to prevent them from being infected. Xie Huchen said again.

At this time, the people in the city were already making more and more trouble, and the people's grievances were boiling. He kept shouting that he wanted to enter the city, and even scolded the state officials for being lazy and treating the people like mustard, and the crowd kept storming the checkpoints at the city gates, which could cause turmoil at any time.

Suddenly, with the sound of rumbling, the gates slowly opened, and out of the city came a group of heavily armed troops, each masked with a white cloth and dressed in white over his armor, and they lined up in front of the crowd.

The common people were already in a lot of trouble, but now when they saw the army leaving the city, they thought they were here to suppress it, and it became even more chaotic.

"Folks, don't mess around, listen to me......" Fei Qing rode forward and shouted hoarsely.

"Say what, let us into the city!" shouted the common people.

"Folks, you are all from Wanxian, and you must know that this plague is contagious, and I can't let you into the city at this moment. Fei Qing said loudly.

But the crowd ignored his call, and still clamored to enter the city, constantly pounding the human wall formed by the soldiers.

When Fei Qing saw this, he remembered that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to do.

"Folks, this is Lord Fei of Yizhou, he came out to greet you in person, don't make a noise, listen to me. Xie Huchen's voice suddenly remembered, although his voice was not loud, it spread throughout the audience, and everyone heard it clearly.

The crowd of troublemakers suddenly fell silent, and a big man in the lead said, "Since you are here to greet us, why don't you let us enter the city?" ”

"Folks, we have all heard about the epidemic in Wanxian County, and Lord Fei is also very concerned, and now you have fled from there, but you can't enter the city, I understand your feelings very well. Xie Huchen said.

He paused, and then said: "It's not a last resort, who will leave their hometown, but folks, have you thought about it, the people in Yizhou City, they have their own hometowns and relatives like you, if you enter the city without any prevention and control, in case the plague is introduced into the city, this city that can accept you may also face the same situation as Wanxian." ”

Hearing Xie Huchen's words, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and it was obvious that his words really touched the hearts of the people.

As Xie Huchen spoke, his eyes couldn't help but redden, leaving two lines of tears, and everyone was moved by it when they saw it.

"What do you say, my lord?" asked the leading man.

"We have arranged a camp for everyone to live in a concentrated camp outside the city, we will send troops to escort everyone there, food and water will be delivered on time every day, and good doctors will be sent to help you check your health, and the villagers will live in the camp for a while, and if it is confirmed that there are no patients, everyone can enter the city. Xie Huchen said.

The crowd began to talk about it, and after a while, the big man said: "We discussed it, and we can understand what the adults say, so we can accept this arrangement, in fact, we just want to have a place to live, and we don't really want to make trouble." ”

Xie Huchen thanked the people again and again after hearing this, and Fei Qing was also very happy to see that the matter could be resolved.

"Fellow villagers, let our sergeants escort you to the camp now, and the officer here promises that you will be properly accommodated, and I will send good doctors and troops to Wanxian County to help the people there survive the plague, so that everyone can return to their homes as soon as possible. Fei Qing said loudly.

Hearing his words, the crowd erupted in warm applause and shouts, shouting that Fei Qing was the master of Qingtian.

Seeing this, Fei Qing and Xie Huchen looked at each other with satisfaction and smiled.

Now that the matter has been resolved, it is time for Xie Huchen to say goodbye.

"Brother Fei, although the people have been persuaded to leave, you must not relax, the supply of the camp must be guaranteed these days, and the people who come and go must be well protected to avoid the risk of infection. Xie Huchen said.

"I really want to thank Brother Xian this time, if it weren't for you, today's situation, I'm afraid my brother wouldn't know what to do. Fei Qing said.

"Brother Fei is serious, you don't have to be polite, everyone is a colleague and should help each other, didn't you also help me a lot, haha. Xie Huchen said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't be polite to Brother Xian, remember to come to Yizhou again when I have time in the future, and then talk to Brother Wei. Fei Qing said.

At that moment, the two said goodbye, and Xie Huchen embarked on the journey back to Yi County.

Looking at Xie Huchen's distant back, Fei Qing said in admiration: "This is really a young talent, a rare talent." ”

"What the adults said is right, Lord Xie is young and handsome, hey, if I want to be a girl, I will marry him. Xiaohuzi followed the wind on the side.

Fei Qing glanced at him innocently: "Then you can just go to Yixian on an errand." ”

"Hey, my lord, didn't I follow what you said, my lord...... The adult ...... "Seeing that Fei Qing ignored him, Xiaohuzi hurriedly followed and apologized.

"My lord is back, it's been a hard journey, is it still smooth? Wang Zhiyuan saw Xie Huchen enter the county office, and hurriedly went up to greet him.

"Well, everything went pretty well. Xie Huchen patted the dust on his body and replied.

"Wang Da and Xiao Er, you two should also go and rest, you have worked hard all the way. Wang Zhiyuan said.

As if they had been pardoned, the two ran away as soon as they smoked.

"Let's go, the study speaks. Xie Huchen shook the burden on his hand and said.

Wang Zhiyuan comprehended and hurriedly followed into the study.

"My lord, is this a secret account?, what about Master Chen?" Wang Zhiyuan took the account book handed over by Xie Huchen and asked while flipping through it.

"I don't understand. Xie Huchen said with a smile.

"yes, what the hell is written here. Wang Zhiyuan threw the account book angrily and said.

"Haha, how can it be called a secret account, Master Chen, I have already arranged for him to live in a safe place, and we will definitely be able to use him in the future. Xie Huchen said.

"Well, my lord is delicate and thoughtful, and it would be too eye-catching to bring him back to Yixian. Wang Zhiyuan replied.

"I have a few other things to arrange for you now. Xie Huchen said.

"Your Excellency, please command. Wang Zhiyuan replied.

Xie Huchen told the story of the epidemic in Wanxian County, and instructed: "First, you take someone to investigate, there are people from Wanxian in this county in the past few days, if there is, immediately arrange a unified residence to isolate it." ”

"Second, the major medical centers in this county can have patients similar to the plague in the near future, and if there is, the patients will be found and treated in a unified manner, and the people who have been in contact with the patients will also be isolated and observed. ”

"Third, immediately write a document and inform the surrounding counties to make strict preparations for the prevention and control of the plague and not to take it lightly. ”

"Yes, sir. Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly retreated.

Xie Huchen knew that the plague was extremely transmissible, if he hadn't known about it in Yizhou, if he really waited for the epidemic to spread to Yixian, I am afraid it would be out of control.

Now in the face of the plague, I am afraid that everything else has to be put aside.
