Chapter 983 The Tactics of the Homeless Tide ([-])

Zhaolin forwarded the message from Village Chief Jia to Qi Ke, and Qi Ke hurriedly arranged for a batch of food to be dispatched from Qianhejing to the wharf construction site as a pretense, and set up the straw sheds in the kitchen and dining hall.

Village head Jia also prepared two letters, one to Qi Ke and the other to the Jiaji boat company in the county. Strange behavior, reminding partners and their own tribe to pay attention to enthusiastic but sick strangers around them.

The behavior of the village head is reasonable, Qi Ke received the letter from the village head Jia, and he can pass it on to Bai Qing as a source of information. The land of the new Jia’s wharf is near the water and the official road in the south, forty miles away from the city gate. , is already very close.

In the early morning of the next day, when the city gate was being opened, a hundred-man cavalry troop from the Bai family army passed through the city and galloped out along the official road. It was the first time to see the Bai family army showing the battle-hardened momentum, and I was a little panicked.

The Yamen should be concerned about Bai Jiajun's sudden move. Before he had time to send someone to ask, Bai Qing took the initiative to send someone to inform, so that the county magistrate should be prepared.

After reading the letter, the county venerable's head was buzzing. He didn't even know about the refugee tide, and when he suddenly received the bad news that some of the refugees deliberately transported the infected refugees to the county, his first reaction was to not believe it. He reprimanded Bai Qing for making things out of nothing, Qi Ke for spreading rumors and making troubles, and treating a few patients with common diarrhea as disease patients.

The county magistrate was also taken aback by the contents of the letter at first, but after calming down, he was not as rude as the county magistrate. In his opinion, fighting between the military and the government is a fight, and it is normal to dislike each other, but it is best not to think that The soldiers are all fools, and the Bai family army is quite a famous frontier army with great military exploits. When they issue a warning, if they ignore it, they will suffer a big loss.

In order to make the county pay attention, Bai Qing copied the patient's physical condition written in Qi Ke's letter verbatim, such as headache, fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, dry cough, rash, and palpation. When it comes to obvious hepatosplenomegaly, even if Xianzun doesn't know how to ask a doctor, he can know that this is a serious problem.

The county magistrate also suggested that the county magistrate should ask the doctor to read the description in the letter, but the magistrate insisted that this was Bai Qing's exaggeration, and it was not enough to find reasons for his unauthorized deployment of troops. Write a note and go to the capital to sue.

The county magistrate insisted so much that the county magistrate couldn't say anything more. After resigning, he discussed with several colleagues such as the chief secretary and Dian Shi, and they all felt that it was prudent to store more grain and oil at home just in case. After all, Bai Qing described in the letter The symptoms are very disturbing, but no one mentioned to find a doctor on the street to find a doctor, nor did they think about whether to issue a warning to the people, just make their own preparations.

Tens of thousands of people in the county have been neglected intentionally or unintentionally by the government, but Qi Ke will not ignore her friendly partners, and arranges for the staff of Jiaji Shipping Company to deliver a letter to the door in the afternoon, reminding Lao Fang, Lao Gu, and the Song family Pay attention to your own safety, keep up with the movements of the Bai family army, and try to choose water instead of land when going out recently.

Old Gu and the three heads of the family happened to be at home, and Qi Ke's letter arrived in time, and they were also wondering what the Bai family army team was going to do in the morning, and when they saw the contents of the letter, they broke out in cold sweat, and greeted them. The family counts the standing supplies at home such as grain, oil, and medicine, and makes a list to stock up more.
