Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 17
Zhou Hui's eyes were scarlet with anger, his nose was constantly agitated with anger, and he paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his hips.

There seemed to be noisy voices floating all the way from the gate of the county government office, reaching Zhou Hui's ears.

He was angry and annoyed, and he was extremely worried.

"Aji, what should we do now?"

Hearing him ask himself, Zhou Shu looked at him, "Brother, this is why the young master is out of the city this time."

As soon as these words came out, the string called "IQ" in Zhou Hui's mind returned instantly, and he figured out the key point after contacting him back and forth.

"So, you already knew that some victims were infected with the plague?"

Zhou Shu nodded, "I wasn't sure before, but now, I'm sure."

"Since that's the case, why didn't there be any news before?"

Because someone is deliberately hiding it.

Zhou Shu said in his heart.

It seems that A Hua's words yesterday alerted Zhang Maoan, so he chose to take the risk and planned to blame everything on himself.

The number of people infected with the plague is unknown. In order to prevent the city from spreading, it is necessary to isolate the people who have been infected with the plague as soon as possible.

Zhou Shu pondered in his heart, "Qiu Min, you go and ask General Wang to come over and say that I have something to discuss with him."

Qiu Min: "Young master, General Wang has already taken people out of the city to find the young master after a cup of tea."

She almost forgot about it.

Wang Youxian went out of the city this time because she asked her to find the victims who were hidden by Zhang Maoan.

It's too late to wait until he comes back.

no solution anymore.

She said decisively: "Qiu Min, take my souvenir and go to the Governor's Mansion to find Mr. Sun, and ask him to send troops to support him."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Hui again, "Brother, I don't have time to discuss this matter with you in detail. The most important thing is to save people now. You and I go to the front hall together and gather all the people in the county government office. The victims of the disaster were quarantined to avoid infecting more people."

"it is good."

Both sides act independently.

Qiu Min took her souvenir, climbed over the wall and went out to the Governor's Mansion.

And Zhou Shu and Zhou Hui came to the front hall, intending to gather people, but the front hall was empty, and there was no one there.

"Where are people? Why is no one here?"

Zhou Hui looked around, but couldn't find anyone, so he couldn't help but wondered, "How could it be such a coincidence that there isn't a single servant in the county government?"

"It seems that someone deliberately transferred people away."

It was she who underestimated Zhang Mao'an, and he was planning to draw on the bottom line.

Clenching the hands under the sleeves tightly, Zhou Shu quickly thought of another way in his mind.

And the governor's mansion on the other side.

Sun Yao sat at the head leisurely, holding a teapot in his right hand, drinking tea from the spout to his mouth.

Zhang Mao'an sat below, flattering him like a dog's leg: "Lord Inspector, your move is better than this one. If you draw from the bottom of the pot, Zhou Shu will be powerless now."

"Hmph." Sun Yao took a sip of tea and snorted disdainfully, "A stinky brat with no hair on his head, he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and he wants to overthrow the sky in Xiangzhou City by himself, just dreaming."

"Yes, yes, you are more powerful, Lord Inspector."

Zhang Maoan kept flattering him.

Sun Yao was taken care of by him, so he put down the teapot, played with his mustache and asked, "Those people, have you dealt with them?"

"My lord, please don't worry, the subordinate officials have already dealt with everything." As he spoke, he put his hands on his neck and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Seeing this, Sun Yao was very satisfied.

"Don't worry, when Zhou Shu's trouble is solved, I will give you some good words for you. The county magistrate of Siyi County can only be yours."

"Then I will thank Lord Inspector first."

Zhang Maoan hurriedly packed his luggage to thank him.

"Yeah." Sun Yao lifted his chin contemptuously and accepted his gift.

At this moment, the porter came in to announce.

"My lord, there is a person outside who claims to be the servant next to the county magistrate of Siyi County, please see your lord."

Hearing this, Sun Yao and Zhang Maoan looked at each other.

"Go out and tell him, just say that I'm not here, and let him go back first."

"Yes, my lord."

The porter went down again.

According to Sun Yao's instructions, he came to the gate and answered Qiu Min.

"You go back first, the adults are not here."

"Not here? Then do you know where the governor has gone?"

"Bold, you and I can ask about the whereabouts of my lord?"

After the concierge finished speaking, he pushed him hard, pushed him under the steps of the door, and ignored him.

Qiu Min had no choice but to return to the county government office the same way.

In the county government office, Zhou Shuzheng was sitting helplessly in the front hall. Seeing him coming back over the wall alone, he also guessed that he hadn't moved to rescue soldiers.

"Young master, the people in the governor's mansion said that the governor's lord is not in the mansion now."

Hearing this, Zhou Shu nodded.

This result is not surprising.

Seeing her sad face, Qiu Min looked around again, "My lord, where are the others in the county office? Why isn't the eldest lord here?"

Seeing that none of the yamen servants were there earlier, she guessed that he couldn't find anyone to help.

So Zhou Hui was asked to ride out of the city to find Wang Youxian and Wen Yuting and come back to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing the sun getting brighter, it was almost noon.

But Zhou Hui didn't return, Zhou Shu's heart couldn't help but sink even lower.

If we wait any longer, I'm afraid it will cause even bigger riots.

She gritted her teeth, stood up from the old man's chair, straightened her clothes, "Let's go."

Bring Qiu Min to the gate of the county government.

At the gate, when the villagers in Siyi County saw her, they all knelt down.

"I beg the magistrate, please save us."

"My lord, you are our parent officer, you can't just watch us die."

"Yes, my lord, please save us."

……

Every word you say to me is to ask Zhou Shu to save them.

"Folks, get up first, we have something to talk about."

"My lord, if you don't promise to save us, we won't get up."

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately echoed: "Yes, sir, if you don't save us, we won't get up."

Zhou Shu was forced into a little anxiety, and just about to speak, a mouthful of cold wind suddenly poured into his throat.

Then he coughed violently.

The villagers kneeling in front of her couldn't help being scared when they saw this, they all looked at each other, and knelt away from her silently.

Qiu Min looked at the way the villagers avoided her like poisonous scorpions, and was anxious, "What do you mean? My son is in good health, so he didn't get infected with the plague."

Hearing this, the villagers relaxed their vigilance a little.

"Magistrate, don't blame us for being afraid. The plague is really scary. If you accidentally get infected, you will die."

"In our village, some people were infected. They coughed up blood and died not long after."

"My lord, please think of a way to save us, we don't dare to stay with those people anymore."

"Yes, my lord, putting us together with those people, isn't it obvious that we good people should die too?"

"That's right, my lord, you are our parent officer, you can't ignore us like this."

"Folks, please rest assured that I, Zhou Shu, will never let you go." Zhou Shu assured them, "Those who are infected with the plague, I will ask the yamen servants to carry them out of the city and give them good treatment."

"You can rest easy for now."

"My lord, you speak so lightly, don't you want to be perfunctory?"
