Chapter 325 Chaos
Salvage, incineration, well filling.
As soon as the Central Army of the Shenji Battalion stationed in the southern suburbs of the city received the news, they immediately sealed off the Zhuangzi where the well was located, including the villager.

This matter was originally done without anyone noticing, and then just track down the source of the corpse.

However, those who are temporarily in charge of the epidemic prevention here, several industry ministries are in charge of the Shuiqing official department, but they are in a hurry.

They didn't know anything else and couldn't talk about it, but it was the well that was polluted by Datouwen's corpse, and it was beside the southern moat of the outer city.

Then they are too good at talking!
You must know that there are countless open ditches and hidden ditches for drainage around the capital, and the internal and external moats are connected with the water inlets of various ditches, and the underground water system can be described as extending in all directions.

No one can be sure which well and which river this polluted small well will be connected to?There is no guarantee that the water in the well will pollute the water in the southern moat of the outer city.

The downstream of this moat is connected to the mouth of the Tonghui River on the east side of the Grand Canal.

Right now, the canal is full of boats transporting grain, and the water for people and animals on board is almost all taken from the canal. If the epidemic is really transmitted to the Grand Canal through the moat, the consequences will be unimaginable!
If the big head plague blooms everywhere in Dazhou because of this, then he has grown a hundred heads, and his mother is not enough to cut them off!

The two Wang Shangshu went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice again, if they waited for the two of them to come back to preside over the overall situation, wouldn't the day lily be cold?

Several people thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a solution.

Then he explained the matter to a garrison in the Shenji Battalion. Seeing the garrison's serious face, he hurriedly gave a solution:

"For the current plan, we can only sprinkle lime on all the farmland and households within a radius of [-] li to drive away the epidemic, and then block all the wells, open ditches and underground ditches within the jurisdiction. As for the moats and canals."

The head of the Ministry of Industry who spoke sighed heavily when he said this:

".Then you need to close the sluice gates of the various rivers in the capital as soon as possible, and then notify the ships on the canal to stop nearby. In this way, you will do your best and obey the destiny."

"It can only be this way."

The guards in the Shenji Battalion nodded, and led the soldiers to conduct a carpet search centering on the well here, sprinkle lime, fill the well, and seal off the farm. They dare not stop for a moment.

Several soldiers of the Zuoye Army left behind by Wei Qi rode their horses between the 24 sluice gates in the capital, holding a letter from the Ministry of Industry in their hands.

With the sound of a fast horse urgently reporting, the dignified gate officer immediately issued orders to the gatekeepers, and the urgent sound of the trumpet echoed in the blue sky.

The arm-thick iron chain above the sluice was pulled by the wrench, making a rattling sound, and the gates fell heavily, cutting off the fast or slow river, and the water splashed out from both sides of the gates with the sudden resistance, creating a chaotic scene. With the mud and water plants forming waves, they hit the rivers on both sides.

Some boats in the lock chamber were ups and downs by the front and rear waves before they could get out. The boatman who was carrying the grain bag couldn't stand still, so he fell into the river and ate a mouthful of aquatic plants.
Seeing this scene, many people gathered on both sides of the river, which was originally quiet because of avoiding the epidemic, all of a sudden, they were all probing their brains to find out what happened.

Some joked about the boatmen in the river, some cursed and said that the gate officials of the imperial court were not good at doing things, and some even said that there was a little white dragon in the canal, and the Holy Majesty was catching the dragon to drive away the epidemic.
Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, but then they felt that it was meaningless, and gradually quieted down.

And the people who were watching gradually dispersed, and someone shouted:
"I heard that there was a well in the south of the city where the body of Datouwen was fished out. Now that the well is being filled up there, there will be one in this canal, right?"

As soon as these words fell to the ground, the crowd burst into flames like cold water pouring into hot oil!

"It was fished out of the well? What's the matter with the canal?"

"That's right, don't talk nonsense, it's creepy!"

"Is this true? I heard that it was also found in the cemetery in Heizhuangling. I'm afraid it's not certain in the canal."

Everyone was chattering, but the person who had just spoken was silent.

People near the river were panicked.

The people in the southern suburbs of the city didn't say anything when they saw the people from the court filling the well, but they dared not speak out.

But when they saw that these people were about to scatter lime on the crop fields, the old farmer had the courage to plead bitterly:
"Mr. Jun! It's not a good year, so there was a flood. Now there is so much grain left in the field. How can you make people eat it if you sprinkle lime on it!"

"Yes! Wait a few more days, let's harvest the grain before spreading it!"

The echoes of the crowd were ignored by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

Zhuangtou really couldn't see it, and he was beaten half to death when he went up and made two gestures. The indiscriminate behavior of these living hell kings immediately aroused public outrage.

The farmer who had already run out of patience raised his sickle and rushed forward:
"The imperial court is looking at the poor people in the south of our city and bullying them. The epidemic has not been cured, and they are still without water and food. This is not giving us a way to survive!"

"Stand back!" The guard in the Shenji Battalion raised his chest and pointed his firecrackers at the sky, "Do you want to rebel?! Back off!!"

Everyone in the Zhuangzi has a lot of strength. Although they know that the fire gun is a deadly guy, they can also see that there are only a dozen soldiers who came here.They are weak and weak, and the buckshot will always run out, so they put up a head-to-head posture, raised their hoes and surrounded the adult wall and shouted in unison:

"No lime!"

"No lime!"

Seeing that it was going to be overwhelmed, the garrison of the Chinese army scolded the mother, ordered people to stand in front, and called a general:
"Go and see why God damn Shen hasn't come back! We don't have many people in the first place, and his people would not come without him coming forward. If he dares to break the chain at this time, I don't think he knows the truth. Who is the surname of Jun? And the general who sent Mr. Wang to the Ministry of Punishment also called me."

Before the boss could reply, he heard a "bang" behind him.

After the sound of the gun, there was a howl of pain, and the leading farmer was shot in the calf, his eyes opened wide.

The garrison of the Chinese army secretly said: Oh no.

Then, when he turned around, he saw a hundred or ten farmers picking up sickles and sticks and attacking in groups.As the storm flew, peasant men in ragged clothes surrounded a dozen soldiers of the Chinese army in silver armor like a flood that burst a bank.

"You can't sprinkle lime!!" The firecracker was pushed to the ground and kicked far away, "Fight with them!"

The Chinese army's garrison knife was still in its sheath, and it smashed at the farmer who was shot in the calf, and shouted: "Are you going to rebel?! Take it down!"

The south of the city was in chaos, the soldiers of the Chinese army had their heads covered, and the rest were not much better.

However, the General Manager of the Chinese Army they were talking about led someone to break open the door of the Pingnanhou Mansion in the east of the city, rushed into the door of his son-in-law Shen Meng's room and said fiercely to his mother beside the sick bed:
"There is a decree in the Holy Spirit! Patients who die from the plague must be burned!"

Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Guo, knelt in front of her, her voice tearing open: "My, my Menger is not dead! He will wake up in a while! Please! Please let me go!"

Seeing several soldiers of the Chinese army rushing into the room, she got up to stop her, but was stopped by Lord Shen who rushed over: "Ma'am! Ma'am, calm down!"

"Master Hou?" Madam Shen's eyes were full of horror, she couldn't believe that her husband would act like this, "Master Hou, Meng'er is your only son! How can you bear to see him crushed?"

"Ma'am! If you don't give Meng'er the medicine Lu Yungui gave, how could he die!"

Seeing his wife holding Shen Meng who was about to die, Lord Shen was furious:

"A loving mother is a loser! He was raised by you as a man and a woman, and now that you have killed him, he is dead and clean!!!"
