Luan's return today

Chapter 49 Cremation
Then they heard Jiang Yue's voice softly, reaching their ears.

"The south of the Yangtze River has been suffering from floods for a long time. It is humid everywhere. Snakes, insects, rats and ants can be seen everywhere. Even in normal times, it is easy to cause poisonous diseases."

"But now is a special period. The corpses have been parked in the water or at home for a long time, and some of them must have begun to rot. These dirty things are the easiest to provoke, and it is inevitable that they will not cause plague."

After the people heard this, they thought of the peculiar smell in their own homes. As Jiang Yue said, the corpse had already begun to rot, and occasionally ants could be seen crawling on it, and they were frightened when they heard the word plague...

"Then what should we do? Could it be that we have just been hit by a flood, and we are about to encounter a plague, so let people live?"

"Yeah, why is God so unfair..."

"What evil have we suffered..."

Hearing Jiang Yue's words, the hope they had just ignited was extinguished in an instant, and their emotions began to fluctuate.

The slightly smarter people had already heard the tricks in Jiang Yue's words, so they asked loudly.

"Master Jiang, since you mentioned this problem, there must be a solution, what do you think should be done?"

As soon as these words came out, the people looked at Jiang Yue as if they had found their backbone, and echoed them repeatedly.

"Yes, Master Jiang, we will do whatever you say!"

"We all listen to Mr. Jiang!"

……

Jiang Yue stood on the stairs of the government office, looked down at the crowd, saw their eyes full of expectation, and fell silent for a while.

Because she knew that what she said next would not be what they wanted, but she had to do so, and then raised her voice a few times in public.

"The official recommends that all those bodies be cremated."

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately whispered to each other, discussing a lot, and those who had just threatened to support Jiang Yue fell silent as agreed.

The reaction of the people was expected by Jiang Yue. She was not in a hurry to make them express their views, but to give them time to buffer. After all, this matter is unethical in Liguo.

If she hadn't seen the use of this method to prevent the plague in her dream, perhaps she would not have been able to accept it.

After half a stick of incense, the people's emotions were no longer so excited, but they still didn't speak, obviously not wanting to agree to this approach.

Jiang Yue sighed, showing affection and reason to them.

"I know you don't want to do this from the bottom of your heart, but there is no other way now, and we always have to take precautions."

"If once the plague broke out, Li Xing would be the only one who wanted a doctor and medicinal materials. The stocks in the shop in the south of the Yangtze River would have been washed away by the flood long ago. By that time, all the people in the city would have to wait to die!"

"You may want to say that there are so many doctors and drug dealers in the world, but at that moment, who would dare to come to the south of the Yangtze River knowing that there is a plague!"

"In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the central government may directly issue an order to close the city. At that time, we will really call the sky, the sky should not respond, and the earth will not work. Jiangnan will only become a dead city from now on."

After listening to Jiang Yue's detailed analysis, the people began to waver in their hearts, but they still couldn't make up their minds.

"Is this the only way? We can't bury them immediately?"

"No."

Jiang Yue refused straight away, her face no longer gentle, in order to prevent everyone from thinking about it.

Looking around, seeing that everyone was puzzled, she opened her mouth to explain.

"The river basin in the south of the Yangtze River is extensive. If you are buried on the mountain, we will be the victims. If you are buried under the mountain, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be the victims."

"I was ordered to come here to save people, and I will never allow such things to happen." Jiang Yue emphasized again.

"But..." Seeing Jiang Yue's stern words, the people were timid and said weakly, "If they are really cremated, how can we have the face to see them again..."

Seeing that they were stubborn and restless, Jiang Yue snorted coldly and said angrily.

"Are the dead more important than the living?"

"Things that will happen a hundred years later, what's the use now, they can still protect you from this catastrophe!"

"If you want to think about those far-fetched things, why not think about your own wife and children, do you want them to lose their lives like this?"

There were many people with sons and daughters present, and these words hit their hearts, and someone took the lead to stand up.

"Okay, I believe my lord, my family is willing!"

Immediately afterwards, many common people also stood up to express their views one after another.

"My kid is only two years old, I still want to see him grow up safely, and I am willing too."

"I'm willing too, as long as my family members are well, even if I have to kowtow to them and confess to them in a hundred years, I will admit it."

……

Jiang Yue looked at the people who stood up one by one, listened to their reasons, and let go of the burden. It seems that everyone who has concerns in their hearts still wants to live.

But when she caught a glimpse of those who refused to let go, she frowned, and since it was too easy to say, let's do it directly.

"I will certainly not disappoint your trust."

"Please send the corpses to the government office tonight, I will personally check everyone's identity."

Jiang Yue bowed to them and saluted, then fixed her eyes on the stubborn group of people with a stern tone.

"If you don't hand over the body at midnight tonight, then don't blame me for asking someone to do it. I, Jiang Yue, will not tolerate the existence of black sheep at such an urgent time."

After speaking, he sent the people back.

After Jiang Yue approached the government office, she saw a man in Tsing Yi walking up and down at the gate of her courtyard.

"Su Ze!" Jiang Yue shouted.

Su Ze turned his head, with a bright scar on his face, which was exactly what he left when he paid back the money to those businessmen to make amends.

The scar looked hideous, but Su Ze didn't care about it. Instead, he felt no guilt towards those people, and felt much better.

"General, you are finally back, and I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Seeing Su Ze's eagerness, Jiang Yue asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that she didn't know anything, Su Ze took a deep breath and asked in a slow tone.

"Why didn't you tell me that you have to serve porridge twice a day?"

Su Ze met Yunliang Jiangyue on the way back to Jiangnan, so he walked with her.

The two had chatted very well along the way, but Su Ze didn't hear Jiang Yue mentioning this matter at all, and when he knew it, it was too late to stop it.

"Why do you need to say this little thing in advance!"

Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't care, Su Ze rubbed his brows and said earnestly.

"My general, I know that you want the people to have enough to eat, but you don't even think about how much food we have. If you arrange it like this to feed us for a few days, you can't just focus on the present..."

Jiang Yue looked at him with great interest and babbled, and couldn't help wondering why she didn't realize that Su Ze looked like a handsome and cold gentleman on the surface, but secretly he was a housekeeper.

"General, are you listening?" Su Ze shook his hand in front of Jiang Yue's eyes and frowned.
