The next day.

It was already dawn, and the east was shining with a twilight, and the Zhou family mansion was faintly visible under the twilight.

Li Yeyu walked quickly from the twilight, and told Shen Furong:

"Su Qian had diarrhea for some unknown reason early in the morning. She had diarrhea until she collapsed, and she hasn't stopped yet."

"Find a doctor to show her, she won't have to follow!"

Shen Furong, who was wearing a cloak, glanced back at the shadows of the trees dancing in the increasingly bright sunlight, and then got into the carriage.

A cold wind blew up, and Xu Xiaoli, who had been waiting for a long time not far away, also got on his horse sideways, covered in the morning light, and set off to leave.

The road was bumpy and the car body was shaking. Fortunately, the people in the car were closing their eyes and concentrating, so they did not feel uncomfortable due to the accidental shaking. Instead, they leaned against the window and fell asleep, feeling sleepy.

When we arrived at Huainan Town, it was already getting late, and the setting sun gave us a blood-red color.

This originally prosperous land became more and more depressed at this moment.

"It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse." Xu Xiaoli frowned slightly, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

It had only been a few days, but this place had become as desolate as a dead city. Even the numb pedestrians on the road had disappeared without a trace.

Several people walked along the street until they reached the gate of the county government office, but they didn't meet even a single passer-by, and there was not even a single yamen servant or arrester at the gate.

"It's strange, why is there no one on this road?" Shen Furong blinked her eyes, looking at the closed gate of the county government with the vermilion gate in front of her.

Xu Xiaoli looked at the plaque on the gate, and there were five big characters written: "County Office of Huainan Town".

But the problem is that in broad daylight, the gate of the county government is closed, and no one opens the door even after knocking for more than ten times.

"Even if it is because of the plague, although the county government office is not as bustling as it used to be, there should be no government officials. Where did these people go?"

Xu Xiaoli touched his chin, "Why don't we go to the back door of the county government office to have a look."

Shen Furong nodded, and led Shi Yue, Li Yeyu and Xu Xiaoli to the back door.

The back door was still closed tightly, but there was light coming out from inside, and voices could be vaguely heard, as if someone was talking, but unfortunately they couldn't hear clearly.

Xu Xiaoli's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Shen Furong, "Let's go in and have a look?"

Shen Furong nodded, this Huainan County government office is full of weirdness, they have to find out what happened.

Xu Xiaoli climbed over the wall first, landed on the ground, and opened the back door for Shen Furong and others.

It didn't take long for the few people to go in, when they heard fierce quarrels coming from the meeting hall next to them:
"I don't agree! My Li family has been operating in Huainan Town for generations, how can I give up so easily?"

"You have to understand that if we really just leave like this, the blood and sweat of our ancestors for generations will be in vain!"

"But what if I don't leave?"

"Now Huainan Town is getting more and more chaotic, and more and more people are getting sick. The county government can barely guarantee that a rich family like us will not be taken away and locked up in a cage!"

"More, they can't do it! And now they are getting weaker and weaker!"

"Sooner or later, Huainan Town will collapse! If we don't run away sooner, we will all die!"

"Yes, you may not survive if you leave. No one knows whether they are infected with the plague. But if you don't leave, you will die. Even people who are not infected can easily become infected."

……

"Everyone, stop arguing, everyone, listen to what the county magistrate has to say!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Then a voice picked up the words steadily, and said in a deep voice:
"The situation is urgent now, and Huainan Town is in danger. I want to take my family out to avoid it for a while. According to my opinion, don't procrastinate. It's shameful to waste time.

"Besides, once those people die, it won't be too late to come back after everything is back to normal!" "That's right! You can't delay anything if you delay. Only by cutting the mess with a sharp knife can the chaos of the people and the chaos be cured."

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, some people echoed him repeatedly.

"My royal family is willing to go with the county magistrate!"

"My Liu family is willing to go with the county magistrate!"

The people in the room spoke righteously, but after hearing this, Shen Furong just sneered in her heart.

The parents and officials of a county not only ignored the lives and deaths of the people, but even wanted to leave the people and run away!
Moreover, according to what they said, those people who were infected with the disease were locked up.

After the people are locked up, the government doesn't care about it, and waits for these sick people to die.

All the infected people were locked up and put to death, and this plague was considered to be over.

It's really despicable.

Inside the house, County Magistrate Wei fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand, glanced at the people below, and asked, "What do you guys think..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the room was kicked open from the outside, making a loud noise.

A man blew in front of him like a gust of wind. He roughly pulled him down from his seat and asked loudly: "Where are the victims being detained?"

"You, you are..."

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Magistrate Wei opened his mouth wide and his head was buzzing.

This young man he had naturally seen was Xu Xiaoli, the son of the magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture, his boss as the local county magistrate!

"Where did Deng Tuzi come from? Let go of the county magistrate!" The rest of the people in the room shouted angrily when they saw this, and the atmosphere became tense.

At this time, Shen Furong also walked in with Shi Yue and Li Yeyu, she looked around sharply, raised a token and said coldly:
"I am the princess of Changning. I followed Xu Xiaoli, the son of the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, to cure the epidemic. Who dares to be rude?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in shock and doubt.

"what?"

Magistrate Wei's lips trembled and his eyes widened. After seeing the words on the waistband clearly, he couldn't help but weakened his legs and fell to his knees on the ground.

……

A girl dressed as a peasant girl has free hands and feet at the moment, but the person is locked in a big iron cage.

Panic, fear, nervousness, anxiety, hatred...all kinds of emotions flashed through her mind one by one, but in the end, only despair remained.

Recently, a plague has appeared in the town, and the infection rate is extremely high, and many people have already been infected.Her family was also infected with the plague, her parents died, only she survived, but she was arrested here.

Those officers and soldiers said that anyone who got or was exposed to the plague would be put in a cage and locked up.

Outside the iron cage, two ferocious men were grabbing and kicking several other civilians who tried to resist.

The few civilians who were beaten by them were dying, some were still crying desperately, and some had no strength to cry.

Some of them have already contracted diseases, and their limbs are weak, but even so, their survival instinct tends to make them fight desperately.

Snapped--

An officer and soldier slapped the girl under her feet heavily.

"Damn it, I still want to run after I'm in my hands!"

"You beasts, not only did you not treat us when we got the plague, but you also locked us up. Are you still human?" The girl roared, but she fainted as if she had exhausted all her strength.
