Chapter 2003 Plague outbreak
Any good emperor in this world who works hard and loves his people should not think that being an emperor is a wonderful thing.

If you really work hard and love the people, you won’t have too many fancy thoughts, you won’t be able to entertain yourself, you will have too many last resorts, too many disagreements, and there will be too many situations where you have no choice but to spend your whole life trying to “entertain” others. And prepare.

The palace is a place that everyone in the world longs for. He goes in and out of the palace almost every day, but there is never a moment when he feels that living here is really happy. On the contrary, only the moment he steps out of the palace door does the air feel relaxed.

He said: "I stood on the right team and made a fortune all the way. Now, there are more than 100 people in Prince Anning's palace, not counting those raised outside. Adding in their family members and relatives, the population is several hundred. , or even nearly a thousand, if I am the King of Anping who is loyal to the king and loves the people, they will have a good life. If I really have that rebellious heart, then I will harm the population of nearly a thousand."

Although with his current status and such power, it is a bit ridiculous to talk about relationships with his current perspective, but for him, he doesn't care much about emotions or reason. How did he get here in the first place? He doesn't dare to forget it at all. He also remembers clearly how he got to the good day he has today.

The reason why I have not offended the Holy Emperor in these years is also because I have kept myself safe.

Admittedly, he also knew in his heart that his marriage to His Majesty's only sister sounded like the beauty of a monarch and his ministers. But they all knew that the eldest princess's marriage into Prince An Ning's palace was not a disguised form of surveillance and warning.

The love of brothers will never be forgotten, but the difference between monarch and minister was already determined the moment they stepped into the capital.

Jiang Yimin said: "We people, with titles and commendations, can also benefit future generations. This is something we did not dare to hope for before. Now that we can reach this point, God has favored my Jiang family. How can I Will destroy his own future, I am not that stupid person, and neither will my children."

But as for who wants to be that confused person and who wants to be promoted a step higher, that is someone else’s business.

……

On Jiang Shunxiao's way to Qusha County, a plague suddenly broke out in Qusha County.

In fact, it is not sudden. Long before Rong Yi and his party arrived in Qusha County, some people had symptoms such as fever and cough. At that time, they drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor and the symptoms were relieved. However, the disease relapsed after recovery. No matter how much medicine I drink, I can't suppress this relapse. People's consciousness is completely dizzy. The worst thing is that this disease seems to be contagious.

This plague is not rare. It has broken out in other places before. However, every time a plague or rare disease breaks out, every method is always tried to suppress it. Since it does not spread more seriously, then Medicine has been found to solve the problem, but this time it can be regarded as the right medicine. Who knows that the symptoms have been alleviated, but the person is showing signs of going crazy.

Guo Zhixiang strictly prohibited his servants from entering and exiting the Guo Mansion. He was afraid that he might accidentally contract these strange diseases. He went to Rong Yi himself and said, "This epidemic happened very suddenly. Your Highness is new to the county and is not familiar with the county. This time Please stay in your mansion with peace of mind for a while and don't go out."

Rong Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, county magistrate. I've already explained all this. Can the county magistrate find out the source of this epidemic?"

Guo Zhixiang took a deep breath and said, "We found out. A fisherman contracted it at the dock. At that time, he just thought it was a common cough and didn't think much about it. Later, the cough became severe and he had a fever, so he found it. The doctor asked for medicine, prescribed a medicine and drank it, and the disease quickly recovered. Unexpectedly, after returning home, the disease relapsed just one night. When it recurred, it was not just cough and fever, but also the whole person was unconscious. I didn't even wake up, so I realized it was an epidemic, and later prescribed medicine based on the symptoms. After drinking it, I became a little confused."

"Do you know which doctor is prescribing the medicine?"

"He is the most famous Fang doctor in the county."

Rong Yi nodded and said: "I don't understand pharmacology, so I only have one question about this matter. If what I said is wrong, please don't argue with me, county magistrate."

"Your Highness, it's okay to say."

"I want to ask you, is this really a man-made disaster? Are you sure someone didn't do it deliberately? It's so good, how could the fishermen contract this disease? After the disease was cured, people became confused again." Guo Zhixiang said with a serious face: " To be honest, Your Highness, I have also had these questions before. This epidemic came too suddenly and too strangely. The fishermen go fishing every day and are exposed to the wind and sun. They should be considered strong and strong, but they happened to be infected. , Not to mention this, let’s just say that he was cured later, but he became confused. This is something I really don’t understand.”

Rong Yi nodded and said: "I'm afraid someone is making trouble secretly. Generally, if there is an epidemic, there will always be a precursor, but this time it is not the case. Does anyone know on the spot? This time the epidemic breaks out, then Is there any movement among them?"

"Yes, the epidemic happened suddenly this time. I heard that many people in those families were also affected. The mistress and old lady of the Bian family couldn't even get out of bed when they heard about it."

Rong Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Guo Zhixiang. Seeing his frown, he sighed softly and said, "My lord will definitely be unable to take precautions against this sudden epidemic. You only need to attend to the people's affairs. I'll take care of those houses." People will be sent to keep an eye on it, and I suspect that this incident has something to do with them."

Guo Zhixiang was slightly stunned: "How can I work for Your Highness..."

"Why not? Don't forget what I'm here to do. This is my responsibility. In fact, doesn't the county magistrate think that this incident may have something to do with them?"

Guo Zhixiang was silent for a moment, then nodded.

It is not difficult to guess that Qusha County had been in good order for so many years, but as soon as Rong Yi and the others came, strange things happened. Rong Yi couldn't tell for a moment whether this action was to bring trouble to the people here, or to bring trouble to himself. A show of force.

……

At dusk, the city gate was about to be closed. Ling Yun reported back and said: "The city gate was about to be closed. Someone from the Yu family sent the body out of the city, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate."

Naturally, we have to stop it. Now that there is an epidemic in Qusha County, the city gate is naturally sealed tightly. People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. I'm afraid that the epidemic will become more severe and spread to the outside. Then County Magistrate Guo cannot absolve himself of the blame.

"Are you sure that the car was dragging a dead person?"

"My subordinates are sure that the leader said that a servant at home was infected with the epidemic and died, and he wanted to drag him outside the city gate and burn him?"

Dead?Rong Yi frowned: "Is this the first person to die from the epidemic?"

"Yes, but my subordinates have checked and found that he did not die entirely due to illness."
