Chapter 433 surrounded
In the He residence, Lao Du's illness became more and more serious.

From the fever at the beginning, to abdominal pain and diarrhea later, to bleeding gums and vomiting blood later, Lao Du even has symptoms of skin oozing blood.

When the skin is lightly pressed with a finger, it will sink into a piece, and it will not recover for a long time.

But in just three or four days, Lao Du was completely changed, like a skeleton covered in rotten skin that was about to peel off, completely lifeless.

Zhang Zhonghe and Qiongzhi teamed up and stayed up for several nights to come up with one prescription after another, but they still failed to save the person.

When Lao Du left, all internal organs were necrotic and rotted, and he was so thin that he almost vomited all his blood.

From the onset of the illness to the death of breath, it took only six days.

So swift and terrible!
Old Du was the concierge, and most of the people who came and went in and out of the mansion had contact with him. Although he was only on duty for one day after returning from leave, he also met many people during that day.

If this epidemic spreads in a large area, it will be terrible!

The only good thing is that, although the epidemic is fierce, except for a back kitchen helper who has symptoms of coughing and chills, the rest of the mansion has no signs of infection for the time being.

It stands to reason that the kitchen helper had no contact with Lao Dudang, so why was he the first to contract the disease?

Pei You shook his head, and there was a bit of faint anger in his words: "The local officials were afraid that they would take the responsibility, and the black yarn on their heads would not be safe, so they did not report the matter for a long time."

He Lingjiang didn't look relaxed: "The talisman may have some effect, but as long as the infection persists, the entire He Mansion is still in danger, and Mr. Lao has to worry a lot."

He Lingjiang had no choice but to say, "You'd better be careful."

When Lao Du went back to his hometown to visit relatives, it happened that the younger generation in his family was seriously ill, so he gave the amulet to the younger generation, thinking of protecting him well.

Generally speaking, the incubation period for diseases such as the plague ranges from three days to half a month.

This Linquan Village belongs to Wan'an County under the jurisdiction of Yingdu. It is a relatively densely populated village and town, about 100 miles away from the city of Yingdu.

After Qiongzhi inquired, he found out that the night when Lao Du came back from leave, because he was not feeling well, he went to the back kitchen to ask for a pot of hot water, and only then did he come into contact with the helpers.

If not, with the rapid spread of the disease and the wide range of its spread, it is impossible for the He Mansion to have only two cases in the past few days.

This is a living life!
"Ridiculous!" He Lingjiang couldn't help saying angrily.

She rarely showed such anger, so Pei You put his hand on the back of her hand and comforted her softly: "I have told He Zhongcheng about this, and he must have entered the palace to see the saint by now."

He Lingjiang's eyes were full of anger, such actions were undoubtedly a great inaction.

To watch is to let the patient fend for himself.

He tried many ways, but nothing worked.

Even Li Er, who lives with Lao Du, is still normal.

As for the He Mansion, once the epidemic is not able to deal with it and the epidemic spreads, the entire He Manor's vitality will be seriously injured, and they will definitely be questioned by the court afterwards.

After several investigations, He Lingjiang finally set his sights on Linquan Village, the place where Lao Du visited relatives a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, these two people were infected with the epidemic just at this time.

"Looking at it this way, the talismans painted by Qiniangzi before should still play a big role in resisting the invasion of the epidemic." Zhang Zhonghe was slightly relieved, and couldn't help but rejoice that it was fortunate that Qiniangzi sent a message to everyone in the mansion. Amulet.

Not to mention that the people infected with the epidemic need help, but the people in the same village, because they live here mixed with the patients, even if they were not infected before, they will face a great threat in the future!

Mentioning Linquan Village, Pei You's face became solemn: "As you expected, there are indeed many people in Linquan Village who have contracted this disease. The mild ones are coughing and aversion to cold, and the severe ones have reached the point of vomiting blood , so dozens of people have lost their lives.”

The symptoms of this epidemic were quite different from those that Zhang Zhonghe had heard and seen in ancient books, and it looked even more ferocious.

She raised her hand and signaled Pei You to sit down at the table: "How about Linquan Village?"

Pei You said: "It doesn't matter. I am also a practitioner of arts, so I am not afraid of the epidemic. As for the people outside, it is not difficult to avoid them."

Now the situation of the He Mansion is not good, not to mention there are people from the imperial court watching outside, so the news that the two exchanged in recent days was all passed by Chi Kuo.

And the amulet on the helper was accidentally shaken out of his arms when he was working two days ago, and it fell into the water and got wet, so he received it in the box, thinking about sending He Ling another day Jiang asked for one.

She immediately sent a message to Pei You, asking him to send someone to Linquan Village. Now that I think about it, there is almost news.

He hadn't seen Ah Heng for several days, and even though he knew that she was protected by profound strength, he couldn't help worrying about her.

"Up to now, only officers and soldiers have been sent to block the entrances and exits of Linquan Village to prevent the villagers from entering and exiting without authorization. The rest are left to fend for themselves."

Sure enough, that night, Pei You avoided the court's eyes and ears and sneaked into the He residence quietly.

"The most important thing right now is to resolve the crisis in the He family first."

"As for the following matters, the imperial court will deal with it, and I will ask Zuo to assist me tomorrow, so don't worry."

Although at that time it was for everyone to avoid the influence of the ruler, but now, it has also accidentally resolved the disaster of the He family.

He Lingjiang's heart sank, so the epidemic in Laiquan Village must have spread and become a large scale, which is why it has become such a situation.

Therefore, when his subordinates went to investigate, they spent a lot of effort to avoid the heavily guarded officers and soldiers.

The imperial court also secretly sent an imperial doctor to treat Lao Du, but after seeing his condition, even two old imperial doctors who had experience in dealing with the plague shook their heads, and then withdrew from the He residence.

The most urgent task is to find the source of the disease in addition to controlling the disease.

And the two people who contracted the disease had one thing in common, that is, they didn't wear the amulet that He Lingjiang issued earlier.

"Does the court know about this?"

Although Lao Du's illness occurred in He's residence, the source of the illness may not necessarily be in the residence.

Seeing the familiar figure, He Lingjiang frowned slightly: "Why did you come here in person?"

He Lingjiang lowered his eyes: "That's right. The He family has been closing the mansion, and it's not a long-term solution. Now, there must be a lot of rumors in Yingdu, right?"

Pei You was silent.

The He family, which had always attracted much attention in Yingdu, suddenly closed their doors. No matter the aristocrats or the common people, there was naturally a lot of discussion.

When the two were silent, He Zheng came over suddenly: "Qi Niangzi, it's bad! Our mansion is surrounded by people!"
