Madame is back after ten years away

Chapter 100 It's Useless for the Emperor and Lao Tzu to Come (Part [-])

Shen Qing frowned slightly, and said: "If you find out anything else, tell me in detail."

Seeing that Madam was interested, Chen Ying immediately tried to think back, and said: "I heard that the fairy lady is actually the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Wangzhou City. She is very kind-hearted. beggars giving porridge.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, Xu, the local government, did not expect that the epidemic would spread so quickly. For a period of time, food preparations were insufficient. That day, the fairy lady went into the village to give porridge to the sick despite the opposition of her family.

Later, the epidemic was not under control, and many doctors who entered the village fell ill. Either they were too sick to continue to treat people, or... or they died.Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the local government officials did not dare to let more doctors into the village. Indeed, there were not many doctors on hand, and the people became more fearful and desperate.

However, Lady Tianxian did not leave the village from the beginning to the end, and has been sticking to the people, and some people even said..."

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, seeing that Shen Qing had been looking at her and waiting for her to continue, she still said: "Compared to Daqi's imperial court, Lady Tianxian is the one who really cares about them and can help them."

Shen Qing could not help frowning even tighter.

It means that in the hearts of the people in the epidemic area, the status of Tianxian lady is higher than that of the imperial court?

However, the court has indeed achieved nothing in the past two months. In the hearts of the people suffering from pain and despair, the court may not have much prestige!

She continued to ask: "Is the fairy lady sick that day?"

Chen Ying shook her head, "I heard no, the fairy said that day, when she was a child, she followed her grandparents to the village where the epidemic was caught to give porridge. At that time, she was infected with the epidemic, but was cured by luck, maybe it was because of this. , she has never been infected with the disease.

But many people seem to think that the reason she doesn't get sick is because she has some kind of Furui on her body, so they respect her even more. "

Shen Qing couldn't help pondering.

There is no problem with what the fairy lady said that day. If she really got the same disease by mistake when she was a child and recovered, it is very likely that she has already produced antibodies in her body.

Could it be that she was really just a kind and brave little lady?

Shen Qing's eyes flickered slightly.

This should have been a good thing, but now her existence has made the people even more dissatisfied with the imperial court. Is this also a coincidence?
Shen Qing went back to the room while pondering, just after washing, Yu Jiuqing came back, she just wanted to say something to him, when seeing his slightly gloomy face, she said, "But what happened?"

Because Yu Jiuqing was going to visit Wangzhou in person, those local officials immediately dared not hide anything, and they reported everything that happened during this period one after another these days, including the big and small things that happened in the past few days.

Therefore, they know that the people have indeed had a lot of friction with the government.

Currently, only three prefectures, Wangzhou, Xunzhou, and Meizhou, have taken measures to close down the city, because the epidemic situation in these three states is the most severe, and the people in these three states also have the most conflicts with the government.

During the three days when they were on their way, the people in those three states had riots several times.

The conflicts in other states are not so serious for the time being, but because the epidemic situation in several states has gradually become severe, the city is ready to be closed at any time. Once the city is closed, the people will definitely be more restless.

Yu Jiuqing glanced at Shen Qing, and the corner of his mouth was slightly pursed: "In the past three days, Yanzhou and Taizhou have hundreds of people infected with the epidemic every day, and these two states have urgently closed down the city this evening.

Some people who got the news early and wanted to leave before the closure of the city but couldn't make it in time directly clashed with the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city. We can only strictly guard against it. Until now, the riots in those two states have not stopped. "

Yanzhou and Taizhou are two states adjacent to Wangzhou. Except for Wangzhou, Xunzhou and Meizhou, those two states are the most severely affected.

Shen Qing stood up involuntarily, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The people's uneasiness can't be suppressed."

The rapid spread of the epidemic these days, as well as the desperation of the imperial court, are all seen by the common people.

The next situation will only get worse!
We must first find a way to stabilize the mood of the people!

What did Shen Qing think of, and said: "Are we going to travel overnight?"

After such a big thing happened, they couldn't be so leisurely anymore.

Yu Jiuqing was not surprised that Shen Qing could guess it, nodded and said: "The others have already gone back to prepare, we also need to pack up as soon as possible, and try to arrive at Yu County by tomorrow morning."

Yu County is a county at the junction of Wangzhou, Yanzhou and Taizhou.

They didn't plan to go to Yu County at first, but because of the sudden situation in Taizhou and Yanzhou, they had to change their destination.

Without a word of nonsense, Shen Qing immediately called Chen Ying to pack her things, and said, "Don't worry, when the news of your visit to the hardest-hit area gets out, the people will calm down."

However, Shen Qing also knew that such calmness was only temporary.

If the epidemic situation continues to worsen, it will be useless even if the Emperor Laozi comes.

After packing up their things, they immediately started traveling overnight.

On the way, Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing talked about the fairy lady, Yu Jiuqing said: "Just now when I was discussing with other officials, they also mentioned this fairy lady.

These days, because the epidemic continues to worsen, the manpower and supplies of the government cannot keep up. This day, the fairy lady is providing food and finding doctors for the sick. The people now respect her very much.

Her reputation has spread widely, and almost all the people in the states affected by the epidemic know her existence. "

When the government seems more incompetent and anxious, this fairy lady will appear more holy and selfless.

Moreover, on the surface, this fairy lady's help to them is completely gratuitous, unlike the government that collects so much tax from them every year, but can't even protect them.

Such a comparison, it seems that the fairy lady is even rarer.

After hearing Yu Jiuqing's words, Shen Qing suddenly felt uneasy.

The reputation of the fairy lady has spread so widely?There is a faint tendency to become the spiritual leader of the people in the epidemic area.

She said in a deep voice, "This situation is not very good."

If the fairy lady is really just a kind and brave little lady, then forget it.

If she harbors some evil intentions, with her current influence among the people, it is easy to incite the people to do something!

She originally suspected that this epidemic was not a natural disaster, but someone deliberately spreading it secretly.

If the fairy lady is also a pawn placed by the black hand behind the scenes, if they don't deal with it early, they will be very passive.

Of course Yu Jiuqing understood this truth, he frowned and said: "I have already sent someone to investigate the details of the fairy lady that day, but no matter whether she has other intentions, her reputation among the common people has already risen, and now we Nothing is right."

That's right, today's fairy lady is being watched by all the people, whether they want her to keep a low profile or find a way to get rid of her, it's not a good time.

If you are not careful, the government will be accused of persecuting this fairy lady!

It is simply a wave of ups and downs, and another wave.

This is bound to be a sleepless night.

The group of them drove all night, and finally arrived in Yu County in the early morning of the next day.

The county magistrate of Yu County had been waiting for them at the gate of the county early on, and Yu Jiuqing almost got off the carriage and rushed over to discuss matters with the county magistrate.

Shen Qing was not in the mood to rest, and walked slowly in this deserted village.

This village is adjacent to the three states where the epidemic is raging, and those who are capable have already left for refuge.

Those who are still here are either the old, the weak, the sick, or the people who were sealed off before they could leave.

Yu County belongs to Taizhou, and was also sealed off yesterday evening.

At this time, there was no daily atmosphere in the village. Most people were hiding in their houses and were unwilling to come out. Few people walking on the road were panic-stricken. When they saw Shen Qing who was clearly dressed differently from them, they Although I was curious, I didn't dare to look too much.

As Shen Qing was walking, suddenly, a heart-piercing scream came from not far away——

"Ah—give me back my child!"
