The world is heavy and late

Chapter 289 Sturdy
Xia Qing didn't speak either. She looked at the crowds hurrying past in the city and the closed medical clinic. Most of the remaining people were beggars.

Staring at them with scorching eyes, Xia Qing believed that if it weren't for their carriage and horses going too fast, these people would definitely come forward to beg.

Xia Qing hadn't spoken since he entered Xuzhou. Xu Zhong stretched out his hand to hold Xia Qing's tense and sweaty hand, gently wiped the sweat off his palm with a handkerchief, and said, "I'm always here."

Xia Qing nodded, and then said: "It's not too bad, it seems that the sick people have been gathered."

Xu Zhong looked around and nodded.

Shen Changfeng, who was also galloping beside the carriage, was also a little stunned. A martial arts student had sharp eyes and ears, and no sound within five feet would miss his ears, but he had never heard such a soft voice from Xu Zhong, and he even seemed to coax him softly.

This disillusioned Shen Changfeng, who had always thought that Xu Zhongduan was serious and rigid, and touched his nose and thought: It seems that Master Xu still likes Bawanghua.

Shen Changfeng's family has guarded Xuzhou for generations, and they have been on the battlefield countless times, and they can see the light in Xia Qing's eyes more clearly than others.

This is not a delicate woman.

Who knew that just as Shen Changfeng finished thinking, his jaw dropped again.

After Xia Qing finished thinking about things, she put her head on Xu Zhong's arm again. She rubbed her hands and said, "Elder-in-law, we won't die here, will we?"

Of course, Xu Zhong gave him a stare, but he still touched Xia Qing's face and said, "No, you still have the task entrusted to you by the empress, don't follow me every day."

Xia Qing knew that Xu Zhong wanted Xia Qing to stay at home behind closed doors, but Xia Qing didn't want to, she rolled her eyes: "Did the father-in-law despise the slave family, why don't the slave family follow him? It's not like talking and sleeping together ?"

Xu Zhong's mind, which was somewhat exhausted by several incidents, paused for a moment because of Xia Qing's words, and he sighed, "It's up to you."

They all entered the city and stopped Xia Qing from seeing it. Can Xu Zhong stop it?
Besides, he also loves Xia Qing's benevolence very much. This is something that many people don't have. There are not many people who have the world in their hearts, but each of them is very precious.

He knew that no matter how indifferent Xia Qing behaved on weekdays, she was also kind in her heart, because she sincerely hoped that everyone around her could live well.

The Governor's Mansion was very close, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived at the gate of the city to meet Xu Zhong within a quarter of an hour, and they arrived after a few words.

When they got off the carriage and saw the indescribable expression on Shen Changfeng's face, the two paused for a moment, but they didn't know what his expression was, so they simply ignored it, thinking it was the governor of Xuzhou's own problem.

Shen Changfeng: ...Where did the dog couple come from?To my officer...

Eh?It's as if they didn't really ask where they came from.

Xu Zhong entered the door and said: "Your Majesty is here to assist Lord Inspector and Lord Guo. I don't know where Lord Guo is?"

Shen Changfeng's face changed instantly, he glanced at the servant next to him, and the servant immediately backed away a little bit, Shen Changfeng was leading the way in front, and walked towards the yard temporarily arranged for Xu Zhong: "Uh... Master Guo...something went wrong."

Xia Qing lowered his eyes and said, "Could it be Mr. Guo who is also sick?"

Shen Changfeng glanced at Xia Qing, who was looking around, and then at Xu Zhong, who was silent. He was a little dissatisfied with Xia Qing, a woman who intervened, but Shen Changfeng was always open-minded, so he said awkwardly for a moment: " Exactly as Madam said."

Xia Qing sneered, Xu Zhong stretched out his hand to hold Xia Qing's hand and squeezed it, without asking what was going on. After all, he was new here, and he still couldn't tell if it was an enemy or a friend.

In fact, when he was on the road, Xu Zhong never doubted Shen Changfeng's motives, because he had met Shen Changfeng before, and he felt that Shen Changfeng didn't bother to do such methods, but the group of sick refugees he met at the gate of the city made him a little suspicious. How could Shen Changfeng be a person who couldn't even guard the city gates well.

Xu Zhong first asked this question: "Since your lord has sealed off the city, how can someone escape from the city gate?"

Shen Changfeng stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and did not get angry. His voice was much lower than Xu Zhong's, even with the roughness of the Xuzhou wind and sand: "You doubt me?"

Xu Zhong also raised his head and said: "The lower officials never doubted the generations of loyal and good people, but just wanted to know the reason."

Shen Changfeng looked at Xu Zhong for a long time, and turned his head with an even more ugly expression than Xu Zhong: "I don't know yet, no one has ever reported this matter before, and only corpses can get out of the enclosed tent."

Xia Qing looked at Shen Changfeng and said, "Your Excellency, why don't you ask the soldiers guarding the city, this man left the city through the city gate, how could the people at the gate not know?"

Xu Zhong also echoed, "My lord knows the crisis of this matter."

Shen Changfeng nodded and called for people to come in: "The people guarding the city gates are locked up today, let people ask, what happened to the people who left the city today?"

After the servants bowed their heads and stepped back, Xu Zhongcai asked, "Is the drought or the epidemic more serious in the city at the moment?"

Shen Changfeng's brows have not been untied, his eyes are black and blue, and even his face is sallow and tired: "Drought situation."

Shen Changfeng pinched the center of his brows, sighed a little, and said, "Actually, the epidemic is not serious in the city. In the beginning, the epidemic was caused by the accumulation of beggars and refugees, as well as starving corpses."

Xia Qing interjected, "Then why are all the medical clinics in the city closed?"

Shen Changfeng frowned even tighter, and it took a long time before he said: "When the news of the epidemic first came out, there was a great commotion in the city. Many government officials, businessmen and rich people bought a lot of medicines for backup, but the beggars who really got sick had no money to buy medicines, and died of illness. The rotten corpses began to infect the epidemic again, and this is the source of the current wave of epidemics, which has spread from beggars to the general public, and the doctors in the hospital were also forced to go to the tents for consultation, but there was still a shortage of medicines."

Pausing for a moment, he seemed a little ashamed and said: "Xuzhou's people are tough, everyone knows when Mr. Guo entered the city, it was just in time for my official to seal the city gate, and the people in the city were terrified. ..."

Speaking of this, it seems that there is no way to go on, Xia Qing glanced at the interface and said: "So they infected Mr. Guo, and thought that all the high officials were infected, so they must send someone to treat and deliver medicine, but the concubine is very sick. I'm curious, Mr. Guo is not living in the governor's mansion, but he should be in the post station, how could he be easily infected by these people?"

Shen Changfeng really felt a little guilty when he talked about this incident. The people under his rule did this kind of thing out of public and private, out of emotion and reason, and he couldn't escape the responsibility.

Xu Zhong sighed. When he came to Xuzhou that year, he discovered that the county magistrates in Xuzhou, and even the governor of the long history, have the final say. No matter what background people come to this place, they will become tough In a remote place like Xuzhou, which is not a military fortress like Suzhou, many officials are from local aristocratic families.

For a town they are used to, a group of ordinary people, and even these people have some characteristics similar to them, how could they feel that they should educate them?
I'm afraid their spirits are directed towards Hu Qiang in the north every day. This kind of place is not bad. Even the emperor said that he liked this place with strong folk customs when he came last year, because this is a place where young and strong people can become adults. The place where the soldiers are kept is clean, chill and full of vigor.

But in such a place, when faced with the most direct panic, the means are as brutal as ever.

Shen Changfeng glanced at Xu Zhong who was sighing, and thought about his own consequences, his head hurt a little, he was really not good at these things, and now controlling the disaster to this point was the best way he could think of.

Shen Changfeng often has a headache, why should a general be in charge of the people's livelihood, you see, it's a mess now, right?

Although Xia Qing felt that it was outrageous that Master Guo, an imperial envoy, got sick in the Governor's Mansion, he glanced at Shen Changfeng and didn't say much.

Looking at it now, Mr. Shen may have neglected the responsibility of enlightenment, but it is not nothing.

Yu Wu, everyone has seen it for so many years; Yu Wen, based on all the questions Xu Zhong asked just now, Shen Changfeng is completely clear about it, and it is obvious that he is a person who thinks about the people.

If it's just a drought, Shen Changfeng has been an official for so many years, so he can do it at his fingertips, but he encountered a rare epidemic and was a little flustered.

And in the end, this matter is not Shen Changfeng's negligence, who can ask a beggar to clean up every day, it is common for so many beggars to gather together, what can Shen Changfeng do?What's more, Shen Changfeng ordered the city to be closed at the first moment of the epidemic, which can only be blamed on the unfavorable weather from time to time.
