The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 122 The Plague
As soon as Zheng Qiuyun returned to Qingzhou, he officially started a one-year agricultural school.

In June, the second wave of students who participated in the agricultural studies in Beijing led the people to plant summer corn.In July and August, the corn planted by Meng Hao and others matured.In September, the corn planted by the second wave of students matured.

Zheng Qiuyun put away the letters from the students and put them together with the letters from Zheng Wuan and the others that he had received before.She read Zheng Wuan's latest letter again, but still felt strange.

As early as August, the Dongzhou rebels had surrendered, but Zheng Wuan and Pei Yuanqi had not returned to Beijing.Every time I wrote to her, it was always to report good news rather than bad news.

Qingzhou's agricultural science was now in order. Zheng Qiuyun took Chu Lian and a thousand elite soldiers to Dongzhou to find the two of them.Passing through Xuanzhou on the way, Zheng Qiuyun first went to see Zheng Wenping.

After entering Xuanzhou City, we drove the carriage southeast and arrived at the magistrate.There were officers and soldiers checking the gate of the county town. Zheng Qiuyun handed over the guide and registered before entering the county town.

She asked the old man next to her, "How to get to the county government office?"

The old man showed her the way, "The county government office is busy today. I heard that a squire forced a family to death, and the county magistrate is interrogating him."

When Zheng Qiuyun entered the city, he saw that the roads were wide and the people were full of energy.Most of the houses are thatched houses, but they are built solidly and can protect against wind and rain.

Zheng Qiuyun passed through the crowd and saw Zheng Wenping sitting under the four characters "Mirror Hanging High".Wearing official uniform, he is calm, sophisticated, serious and dignified, and handles cases without any sloppiness.

Zheng Wenping finished his work and returned to the back hall to rest.He took off his official hat, propped his head up and fell asleep.At this time, the official reported that a girl who claimed to be the county magistrate's sister came to him.

Zheng Wenping opened his eyes, "Could it be that my sister is here."

He hurriedly came out to greet him and forgot to bring his official hat.Zheng Qiuyun was shocked when she saw his appearance, "Wen Ping, why do you have gray hair?"

Zheng Wenping stroked his white hair gently and said with a smile: "Sister, there is no need to worry. This is young white hair. Maybe I study too hard."

Zheng Qiuyun looked at the white hair on his temples and said, "Before you left, your hair was still black."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Sister, please sit down and have a rest."

He poured water for Zheng Qiuyun, but Zheng Qiuyun immediately noticed his left hand that was deliberately hidden under his sleeve.Zheng Qiuyun said in a deep voice: "Show your left hand."

Zheng Wenping covered his head again, "There's nothing interesting to see."

If Zheng Qiuyun became serious, Zheng Wenping would not dare to refute.At Zheng Qiuyun's insistence, he rolled up his sleeves little by little, and Zheng Qiuyun saw a ferocious scar on the back of his hand.

"It's over and it doesn't hurt. Sister, don't worry."

"What's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Zheng Wenping couldn't hide it anymore, he had to tell the truth, "I touched the interests of the squire, so they tied me up, burned my hands with fire, and said they wanted to teach me a lesson. But don't worry, my sister, later the emperor sent troops Come here, and I've never been hurt again. Those people are now in prison, and today I sentenced the last strongman."

When he talked about this, his tone was pretending to be relaxed.Zheng Qiuyun felt very sour when she heard it. Thinking about that scene, she felt pitiful for Zheng Wenping.

She sighed, "If you had told me the truth earlier, I would have come looking for you."

Zheng Wenping put down his sleeves and said, "The magistrate county was in chaos at that time, and I didn't trust my sister to come over. Now Haiqingheyan, my sister can have some fun in the magistrate county."

Zheng Qiuyun said: "I am going to Dongzhou this time and passing by you. Do you know what is going on in Dongzhou?"

With this sentence, Zheng Wenping fell silent and stopped talking.

Zheng Qiuyun asked: "What happened to Dongzhou?"

Zheng Wenping was silent for a while before telling the truth, "There were countless casualties in Dongzhou. The summer was hot and the autumn was rainy and humid, and a plague broke out. In the past, Xuanzhou could still send food there, but now the city has been closed. I don't know what happened to them. .”

"Has the capital sent an imperial doctor here?"

Zheng Wenping's eyes were slightly red, "Since ancient times, if the plague is not cured, the city will be closed and disappear."

Once everyone is dead, the plague will naturally be gone.

Zheng Qiuyun swept the tea cup away angrily, "You two are now older, and you have started to hide everything from me. It's really good." Zheng Wenping said hurriedly: "Sister, don't be angry, we just don't want you to worry .”

Zheng Qiuyun calmed down, sat down and said, "I'm going to Dongzhou, don't stop me."

Zheng Wenping also said seriously: "Before my sister came, I handed the Holy Spirit a note. I am going to Dongzhou with my sister, and you don't want to stop me."

Zheng Qiuyun held his head, feeling a bit headache, "Think clearly, Dongzhou has been sealed, and you can't get out if you go in."

Zheng Wenping said stubbornly: "Sister, the same is true."

Zheng Qiuyun looked up at him and chuckled, "Let's go to Dongzhou together."

After the agreement, Zheng Wenping set out to summon doctors who were willing to go to Dongzhou to treat the plague.No one was willing to take risks. After all his hard talk, only three people were willing to go to Dongzhou with him. This was because the medical fee offered by Zheng Wenping was extremely high.

Among them was an old doctor who was experienced and somewhat arrogant. He felt that he must be the leader of the plague treatment this time, and he obviously regarded the other two doctors as his apprentices.

When Zheng Qiuyun distributed protective clothing to them, the old doctor took one look at it and asked, "Why are you wearing it?"

Zheng Qiuyun explained kindly because he was willing to cure the plague, "These clothes are made of special materials and can prevent the plague."

The old doctor asked: "Are you a doctor?"

Zheng Qiuyun shook his head.

The old doctor clapped his hands and laughed, "It is unheard of to use clothes to prevent the plague!"

He thought Zheng Qiuyun would continue to persuade him, but Zheng Qiuyun just said, "Oh, then you don't wear it."

This protective clothing cannot be covered by medical insurance. It is very expensive and some people don't wear it. Zheng Qiuyun can avoid wasting that money.

Four people, including Zheng Wenping, all wore protective clothing, and Zheng Qiuyun asked them to continue wearing masks. "Everyone wear a mask and don't take it off easily."

The old doctor still didn't wear it, and Zheng Qiuyun didn't force it.

They prepared medicinal materials, food and cloth, and Zheng Qiuyun asked his elite soldiers to escort them to Dongzhou.

Before entering the city, the old doctor could already smell the unpleasant smell. He held the tree and felt nauseous, and asked Zheng Qiuyun and the others in surprise, "Don't you smell any strange smell?"

Zheng Qiuyun pointed to the mask he was wearing, "I still have it here, do you want to wear it?"

The old doctor forced himself up and stood up, "It's just a useless thing."

He kept his mouth strong, and Zheng Qiuyun led them forward again.As they approached the city gate, the officers and soldiers on the city wall spotted them and signaled them to leave quickly.

Zheng Qiuyun shouted: "We are here to support, bringing medicinal materials and food. You ask Zheng Wu'an to meet me on the city wall. I am his sister."

The soldier continued: "General Zheng is seriously ill and cannot come out to see you. You should leave quickly to avoid contracting the plague."

Zheng Wenping stood up and said, "I am the magistrate of the county and the brother of Zheng Wu'an. Please open the city gate and let us in."

The soldier said: "General Pei has an order to seal the city gate and not let anyone in."

Zheng Qiuyun took out Pei Yuanqi's jade pendant and said, "This is your General Pei's jade pendant. Go tell him that Zheng Wenping and Zheng Qiuyun are here and ask him to open the city gate and let us in."

The soldiers went to ask Pei Yuanqi for instructions again. When Pei Yuanqi heard that Zheng Qiuyun was coming, he hurriedly climbed up the city wall to see her.Zheng Qiuyun had already seen half of his face exposed, so he hid it again, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Don't open the city gate."

　Make up for it, hehe
