Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 22 Disagreement
Who knew Zhou Hui smiled mysteriously at her, "Secret."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at her and stood beside Wen Yuting.

For some reason, Zhou Shu felt an inexplicable loss in his heart.

It seemed that it belonged only to her elder brother, but now it belongs to someone else.

But emotions are fleeting, and she doesn't have time to be sad now.

The villagers who were infected with the plague in the village had obviously been sent to the epidemic place for treatment, and all the clothes they wore were also burned.

Even the corpses of the villagers who died of the plague were burned by her order.

But in the village, there are still newly infected villagers appearing.

And the momentum is intensifying, and the Epidemic Square can hardly accommodate so many people.

Even the doctors in the city did not dare to treat the villagers for fear of contracting the plague.

Zhou Shu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Shen Sheng ordered the soldiers to carry the newly infected villagers in the village to the epidemic place, and then asked Wang Youxian to take someone to find a bigger place for these villagers to live in.

"General Wang, the plague is rampant now, and more and more villagers are infected with the plague. The Epidemic Square can no longer accommodate them. Please lead someone to find another Zhuangzi for these people to live in."

"Okay, I'll take someone to do it now."

Wang Youxian is a man of action, and immediately wants to bring someone to do it.

Wen Yuting stopped him and blocked his way.

"Wait a minute, General Wang."

Seeing this, Wang Youxian and Zhou Shu looked at him puzzled.

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

After a long talk yesterday, Zhou Hui had completely sided with Wen Yuting.

He stepped forward, not wanting to speak for him.

"General Wang, the young master has his own intentions."

Hearing this, Zhou Shu looked back and forth between the two of them, wondering what kind of ecstasy this Wen Yuting gave her brother.

Why in just one day, the relationship between these two people has become so good, like brothers and sisters?

"Brother Zhou is right."

Zhou Shu keenly noticed that Wen Yuting's name for her brother had also changed.

Before she could think about it, Wen Yuting said again: "Master Zhou, now nine out of ten people in Siyi County are infected, and only one out of ten people are not infected. If you want to send all these infected people to Epidemic People's Square, It will take a lot of manpower and material resources..."

"Then why don't we just watch and let it go?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shu interrupted him eagerly.

Zhou Hui frowned, "Ah Ci, why have you become so irritable? Listen to the young master first."

Now he is already Wen Yuting's most loyal supporter.

Zhou Shu also knew that he had overreacted, so he took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master, it's because I'm too impatient."

"No problem." She was full of fists, how could he blame her for a little thing?

"Lord Zhou, I know you are worried about the common people, and this Marquis is also worried.

Wen Yuting first expressed that his mood was like hers, and then changed the subject.

"But Mr. Zhou, haste makes waste. You should understand the truth of this better than Benhou."

"The people who were infected before, you have ordered people to transfer them to the epidemic place, and asked doctors to treat them. You have also ordered people to burn all the clothes they wore. It stands to reason that you have taken precautions in advance and stopped the source of the people's infection. Then why did the plague in Siyi County spread so quickly?"

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Zhou Shu was confused because of his impatience, but now he calmed down and after a little thought, he figured out the key to the problem.

She suppressed the rising anger in her heart, stabilized her mind, turned her head to Wang Youxian and said, "General Wang, please lead someone to search every corner of the village carefully, and take all suspicious people or things with you." return."

At the end, I added another sentence.

"Now that the plague is rampant, let the soldiers protect themselves. Remember to cover your mouth and nose with a white cloth, and use mugwort leaves to prevent infection when you go in and out."

"Okay." Wang Youxian nodded solemnly, and led them away.

Watching Wang Youxian's leaving back, the worry in Zhou Shu's eyes has not diminished.

She looked solemn, "Young Lord, you are the governor of Xiangzhou, and you are responsible for monitoring all officials in Xiangzhou City. I ask you to order someone to arrest Zhang Maoan and put him in prison."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Wen Yuting's reaction, she turned around and attracted Qiu Min again.

"Qiu Min, you take my token and go back to the county government, call all the servants in the county government, go out of the city to find a doctor, remember, don't hurt anyone."

"It's your son."

Just as Qiu Min was about to go down, Zhou Shu called out again.

"If someone stubbornly resists and disobeys orders, you can take him down on the spot and hold him accountable when I go back."

"Yes."

After giving three orders in a row, Zhou Shu felt a little tired. She clenched her right hand into an empty fist, pressed it to her lips, and coughed twice.

Seeing this, Zhou Hui immediately brought a teacup to her hand.

"Drink saliva to moisten your throat."

"Brother Xie." Zhou Shu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, took the teacup in his hand, and took a shallow sip.

Putting down the teacup, seeing Wen Yuting still standing where he was, staring at him for a long time, he couldn't help asking questions.

"My lord, why are you still here?"

"Benhou is not here, where should he be?" Wen Yuting asked instead.

Zhou Shu: "Of course it is to apprehend Zhang Mao'an."

"Zhou Shu, although this Marquis has a notorious reputation, he really can't be so arrogant that he arrests local officials for no reason."

Hearing this, Zhou Shu was in a hurry.

"You are the governor. His Majesty sent you to Xiangzhou to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials. Zhang Mao'an, as the county magistrate of Siyi County, saw the suffering of the people but did nothing. In order to fight for power and profit, he allowed the plague to run rampant. He ignored human life. The evidence is conclusive."

"The evidence is convincing?" Wen Yuting sneered, "Zhou Shu, these are just your guesses, how can there be evidence?"

"If you really think about the people, you shouldn't waste your time talking with me here. If you have the time, why not think about where the plague came from, and who ordered those who deliberately spread rumors before."

"What's more, now that the plague is rampant, isn't it true that some people deliberately confuse you?"

Wen Yuting's words made Zhou Shu frown. She thought that after the two expressed their hearts the day before yesterday, he would firmly support her.

But he didn't expect that he was so timid.

It was like swearing under the moon that day, but it was just a drama.

And he, Wen Yuting, was still that stupid idiot that everyone dismissed when mentioning it.

If Old General Wen was still alive, I'm afraid he would be ashamed to recognize him.

Zhou Shu was indignant, "Young Master, the building will collapse, and there will be no way to support a single tree. Will there be eggs under the overturned nest?"

"Zhou Shu." He suddenly called her name, his voice full of helplessness, "You told me with confidence the day before yesterday, that there would be no wars in the world, and that this peaceful and prosperous world would last for thousands of years."

"Now, are you disappointed in this world?"

What makes people disappointed is corrupt officials, not the world.

"Young Lord, can you still count on your promise to the lower officials?"

Zhou Shu stared at Wen Yuting with burning eyes, waiting for him to give him an answer.

"Of course it counts." Wen Yuting affirmed.

Both of them knew what the other said.

Zhou Shu even told him with actions, "If that's the case, please ask the young master to lead someone to arrest Zhang Mao'an."
