Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 681 Change
"The imperial court will not let the tragedy of that year repeat itself, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go."

Zhang Wu's words were like a basin of cold water being poured over the head in winter, making people extremely cold physically and mentally. Su Rao thought of the scorched ruins of the Liyuan and Wei Ying's expression changed, and her heart suddenly became heavy.

"So it is."

"That's it."

Zhang Wu said in a low voice, "That epidemic almost wiped out the capital, until the end there was no effective cure for the epidemic, so we could only stop the spread of the epidemic by massacre and burning, so as to preserve the rest of the country. people."

"Do you want to follow the example of the past?"

Su Rao slowly took the knife away from his neck, Zhang Wu glanced at the knife, his frowning brows did not relax, but became more angry: "Yes, this is the only way."

"As long as the spread of the epidemic is blocked, even if the imperial court knows about Hwaseong, those who have not been infected will always have a chance of surviving. Things can no longer be hidden, not only them!"

"You, me, and the tens of thousands of uninfected people in this city will all become the 'plague' in the eyes of the outside world. They dare not take risks, and they will definitely sit back and watch us be trapped in the city. At that time..."

Zhang Wu's voice was trembling and choked up: "By that time, Hwaseong will be reduced to hell on earth."

His people, his people.

There will be no way out.

"madness."

Su Rao cut off his words mercilessly, "The imperial court had exhausted all means to deal with the epidemic in Shengjing, and only implemented it when it was at the end of the road. However, Hwaseong was closed early in the morning, and the inside and outside were blocked, so there was no way for the infection to escape. disaster."

"Can't endanger others."

"At this time, you should report to the imperial court for support, instead of blocking their way of life from the beginning and massacring innocent people!"

"According to what you said, the imperial court would rather kill them by mistake than release them by mistake. How can you guarantee that after killing them, the imperial court will listen to your petition and spare the rest of the city? Zhang Wu, don't you find it ridiculous?"

"You didn't believe in the imperial court at the beginning, but the final bargaining chip is to bet on its kindness!"

Zhang Wu was turned pale by her series of reprimands, with countless sophistry condensed in his heart, and in the end he had no choice but to admit that she hit the nail on the head.

It hit his most unbearable and embarrassing weakness.

That's right, his so-called vitality is still in the court's whim... Struggling with all kinds of struggles, he has returned to the original starting point, and he will also bear countless blood debts.

Is it worth it?
He had asked himself countless times, the faith that had never been shaken even in the face of his beautiful wife and child, collapsed at this moment.

He seems to be wrong...

Wrong!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wu became weak all over, almost unable to stand up, but the young general behind him supported him, "My lord, are you alright..."

"fine."

Reluctantly borrowing his strength, Zhang Wu stood firm and looked at the soldiers behind him. Their brothers, sisters, parents, wives and children were also in the epidemic area, but because of his words, they could only bear the pain and kill their loved ones.

Even if they survived in this way... Can they still survive?

"you……"

"My lord, there is no need to say more."

The young general glanced at Rong Sheng and Zhang Gu standing behind the horse rejection, his eyes were red: "Brothers all understand that what you do is for the sake of the overall situation!"

Right or wrong.

The prefect had no selfish intentions, he had even prepared a dagger in his bedroom, and only waited for the matter to settle down before committing suicide to apologize for his crime.

He was ready to die.

before deciding to order.

Those bright eyes were more scorching than the lights at night, Zhang Wu closed his eyes impatiently, stroked his forehead with one hand, trembling uncontrollably.

For a moment, he managed to calm down.

Looking up at Su Rao, he said, "Lord Su, do you think the imperial court will really send someone to help?"

No questioning or cynicism, but serious questions.

Trying to find some confidence in her answer.

Su Rao could hear that he had been shaken, thought for a while, and said seriously: "I don't deny that the voice you are worried about will definitely appear in the court, but similarly, there will be someone who will stand up for Hwaseong."

"I'm sure there will be reinforcements."

The voice was feminine and gentle, without strong force, but it was inexplicably convincing to everyone's ears. Zhang Wu looked at her for a long time, and finally raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Order, everything will remain as usual, and this place will be strictly sealed off."

"As ordered!"

Many people present quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Surviving a desperate situation, I was already sweating profusely without knowing it.

After rejecting the horse, the crowd cheered and were excited, Su Rao turned to look at them, Mu Furong and Xiao San in the crowd walked up quickly, and stopped at a distance like Rong Sheng's mother and son, looking at them with red eyes. With Su Rao.

Before she could speak, Xiao San and the three suddenly knelt down.

Ye Feng Lie Lie, the few big and three rough men seem to be children who have done something wrong, Xiao San, as the elder brother, cannot escape the blame: "Girl, I am useless, I failed to protect Lord Shen well, and I failed your entrustment..."

"Are you still alive?"

Su Rao asked.

Xiao San raised his head in astonishment, and then quickly replied: "Alive."

"That's good. Take care of him and protect yourself at the same time. It won't be long before there will be a turning point."

The lack of doctors and medicinal materials is the most important thing right now.

Only after solving these two things can I calm down and deal with the epidemic. Su Rao had a general plan in mind, and without further words, Xiao San and the others should stand up.

Mu Furong looked at Su Rao with red eyes, wanted to say something, but had no identity...

He could only pursed his lips eagerly.

"What about you? Are you okay?"

When she turned to Mu Furong, Su Rao's tone and expression were much softer. When the sound fell, Mu Furong couldn't help crying, and stumbled and said: "No, not at all. I should have been lying in my princess mansion, eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and wearing silk clothes. Luo silk satin, instead of being hungry and cold here and being held around the neck with a knife, I don’t know when I will die..."

While complaining, she wiped her tears without image.

The sloppy attitude scared the Rong Sheng and Zhang Gu who were next to him. During this period of time, the princess was going around to make medicine and treat patients.

Everyone looked at Mu Furong in a daze.

I heard her complain about the poor environment, too many people and too much noise, and the exhaustion of practicing medicine...

No one interrupted her.

Su Rao looked at her quietly, listening to her talk dry and exhausted, then in the dead silence, gently pulled the corner of her mouth and said softly: "Furong, you are doing very well."

"You kept them."

"You are a good doctor."

Three sentences in a row, Mu Furong's eyes were full of tears, she stared blankly at her for a while, then smiled suddenly, she waited for a long time, and finally got the word "willingly".

"Hibiscus."

"You are doing well."

At this moment, all her fear and despair turned into gentle wind and drizzle, brushing over every inch of dryness in her heart.
