Chapter 274
"Sell government food privately, ransack the family and exterminate the clan!"

Qin Rui coldly dropped the eight words, his eyes swept over Liu Dongsheng, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Liu Dongsheng immediately seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. He was so desperate that he swayed and hugged Qin Rui's thigh. I have a baby to feed, so I can't rob my house, I can't exterminate my family!"

Thinking of the miserable scene outside the city, Qin Rui wanted to kick him to death, but he needed his help immediately, so he had to hold back his anger and said in a cold voice, "It's not impossible for the whole family to survive, as long as you listen to everything My king, after this catastrophe is over, I will naturally intercede for you in front of Huang Shang. Make up for your mistakes, even if you can't retain your title, at least you and your family will be safe!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness! As long as my lord is alive, I will not hesitate to serve you even if I am so heartbroken!"

"Get up!" Qin Rui shook off him in disgust, and finally walked towards Ding Wei.Ding Wei just finished writing a page. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she handed it to Qin Rui without raising her head. At the end, she continued to write vigorously.

Qin Rui looked again and again, turned around and told Liu Dongsheng, "Quickly get people to close all the city gates, and then gather all the doctors and pharmacy owners in the city to the government office. It must be quick!"

"Ah?" Liu Dongsheng was dizzy when he heard it, he didn't understand why the prince who was screaming and killing just now suddenly wanted to find a doctor. Could it be that the prince is sick?

"What are you in a daze for, go quickly, you must hurry! If anyone doesn't come, they will be escorted directly, and the medical center and pharmacy will be closed!"

Qin Rui became ruthless, and directly took out a Golden Dragon Token from his bosom and patted it on the table. Liu Dongsheng took a closer look and knelt down again.

"If I come in person!" Dayue only had a total of three gold dragon tokens, but if they were taken out, officials below the third rank could be killed on the spot without submitting a report!

And he, Wenshui Governor, happened to be a third rank...

"Yes, yes, my lord, I will do it now!"

Liu Dongsheng scrambled and ran out, yelling at the government soldiers and servants to "catch" people.

Soon, almost all the doctors in the city were brought into the hall of the government office.Commander Wu, who had been frightened by the gold medal in Qin Rui's hand, led dozens of elite soldiers and immediately surrounded the hall.

Qin Rui didn't have time to be polite, so he revealed his identity directly, and finally pointed to Ding Wei and told the "Xinglin masters" who knelt and kowtowed, "You will all be dispatched by Lady Yun for the next month, if anyone dares to disobey, Confiscate your home and go to jail!"

Some doctors thought they had some reputation and face in Wenshui City, and wanted to resist a few words, but the corners of their eyes swept the soldiers outside the door with swords and guns out of their bodies, and Qin Rui's face was so cold that two taels of frost could be scraped off. The phrase "He who knows the current affairs is a hero" has been regarded as the golden rule.

Ding Wei was busy tearing the white cotton cloth brought from the warehouse into palm-wide strips, and she didn't bother to sew any masks at the moment. Each doctor sent one, and directly wrapped the mouth and nose a few more layers, warning, "Some people outside the city seemed to have the plague. After a while, we divided into four teams and went out from the four gates to visit all the people with fever and dysentery. The cloth strips must cover the mouth and nose, and you are absolutely not allowed to take them off. Otherwise, you will be infected with the plague. Don't blame me. Let people immediately throw you out to fend for yourself!"

"What? Plague!"

The doctors were stunned, their faces whiter than the winter snow.An old doctor couldn't bear it anymore, so he snapped, "What evidence do you have to say that there is a plague outside? How can you say such nonsense? You have ulterior motives?"

Ding Wei didn't refute, and went out with a flick of her hand.

"If you don't believe me, check it yourself! Remember not to take off the cloth strip, otherwise you won't be able to return to the city!"

Just now everyone felt that the cloth strip blocked their mouths and noses and made them feel uncomfortable, but they were so frightened by the word "plague" that their legs were weak, and then they heard that there was a threat of no return, so they dared to take it off.

Hastily divided into four teams, and went out to four gates under the guard of soldiers who also covered their mouths and noses...

When it was getting dark, although the people in Wenshui City occasionally lamented the catastrophe suffered by the folks outside the city, the family still ate and walked. There seems to be no difference as usual.

However, the atmosphere in the hall of the government office was so solemn that it seemed to be frozen. All the doctors washed their hands until they almost lost their skin. Finally, they took off the strips of cloth and changed into clean clothes. It was full of horror.

The signs of the plague are simply too obvious. Today, [-]% of the people who survived outside the city, and those who think they are smart and ran out of the city to make money, have already started to get sick. All will suffer.

At this moment, Liu Dongsheng finally understood that it was no longer important whether there was food relief, but how everyone escaped the plague was the most important thing.

He followed Qin Rui as obediently as the old butler, only his words followed his lead, and he only hoped that after this disaster, his head would still grow on his neck...

Seeing that everyone's eyes were twinkling, and no one spoke first, Qin Rui felt annoyed for a while.In the face of a catastrophe, you are still calculating your own interests?
"Commander Wu, pass down the order to completely close the city gates, and no one can come in or out!"

"Yes, my lord." Commander Wu took the order and took the people away, thinking in his heart that he must warn the group of subordinates who are blind to money.Now is not the time to be greedy for money. If people suffering from the plague are let in, the whole city will suffer.

Qin Rui didn't want to stare at these doctors anymore, so he waved his hands and said, "Everyone, go back and send all the medicinal materials to the government office!"

After all, he ordered Liu Dongsheng, "Clear out the garrison camp in the north of the city. Once all the medicinal materials are delivered, the whole city will be notified of the plague. Anyone who has a fever or dysentery at home will be sent to the camp immediately. If anyone dares to hide Yes, the whole family will be taken to the camp and locked up!"

"Yes, my lord, I will do it right away."

Qin Ruidan glanced in Ding Wei's direction with her phoenix eyes, and then walked to the back office.All the doctors and pharmacy owners left behind were blown up, everyone was open for business, and all the medicinal materials were suddenly confiscated by the government. How will they survive after the plague is over?

Liu Dongsheng naturally guessed Qin Rui's thoughts, how could he let go of this favor, so he asked Ding Wei, a woman whose identity he couldn't figure out, for an idea.

Ding Wei was also very tired, too lazy to intrigue with these people, took out the two prescriptions for the prevention and treatment of the plague that she had drawn up earlier, and passed them to many doctors, and when they all agreed, she said, "The medicine used in this prescription The medicinal materials must be handed over, and you can keep the rest of the medicinal materials temporarily."

Everyone is at ease now, and thinking about it, if the plague spreads, it is inevitable that their own family will not be affected, so it is better to make a contribution, and then let people spread a word of kindness, and the business will be better in the future.The most important thing is that the medicinal materials on this prescription are all common medicinal materials for clearing away heat and dryness, even if you donate all of them, it will not hurt your muscles...

In the early morning of the next day, the medicinal materials of each family were sent to the government office, and the notice was posted.The entire Wenshui City fell into an unprecedented panic, and the teahouses, restaurants, and markets were all empty and empty.Everyone hid at home and closed their doors, for fear that others would catch the plague and spread it to their own homes.There are also those who are stubborn and unbelieving and go to the medical clinic to ask questions, but they are scolded bloody by the distressed doctor. No matter how stupid the government is, they will not make fun of such a big matter?
All the government soldiers in Wenshui City were sent to the streets, beating gongs and drums, and going door-to-door to announce that drinking water should be boiled, and any mice, flies and mosquitoes should be wiped out. Once a person with a fever is found, they must report to the government office, and the government office will reward them. .If there are people who conceal and do not report, the neighbors next door will sit together and throw them all to the camp in the north of the city.

For a time, the entire Wenshui City was in a panic, and everyone was in danger.It seems that there are eyes all over the house and outside the house, and even the dark head of the neighbor can occasionally be seen on the wall.

The government office receives more than a dozen reports every day, there is a misunderstanding, and of course there is a fever to hide.Misunderstood, the whole family broke out in a cold sweat, hated and angry at their neighbors.Those who really had a fever, most of them had been out of the city before, needless to say, the whole family went to the camp in the north of the city.

In the big camp, countless soldiers covering their mouths and noses were adding firewood, boiling water for drinking, boiling the clothes of the sick and the cloth strips covering their mouths and noses in front of the big stove, and some old and young doctors were instructing the family members of the sick to cook medicinal soup .The fragrance of medicine lingers everywhere, and the mist fills the air.

Above Ding Wei's mouth and nose is a mask sewn by herself, which is thicker than others, and she also wears linen gloves on her hands.She has not closed her eyes for three days and three nights, and patients started to die yesterday. Although she adjusted the prescription in time, she is not sure whether it will be more effective.

Finally the doctors were all gone and busy, Ding Wei found a small tree to rest for a while, but she fell asleep after sitting down for a while.In the dream, she finally returned home, picked up her son, and was about to snuggle into her husband's arms, act coquettishly, and complain when she suddenly found another woman in his arms...

"you dare!"

Ding Wei woke up with a yell in annoyance, but when she opened her eyes, she found Qin Rui sitting beside her with a look of astonishment, his right hand was still stretched out to the side of her face and he didn't take it back.

"Uh, when did you get back?"

Qin Rui withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and a look of regret flashed in Danfeng's eyes, "I also just arrived, and I fell asleep when I saw grass leaves on your face."

Ding Wei rubbed her eyes, looked up at the blazing sun in the sky, and said in surprise, "I've been asleep for so long? Why didn't you wake me up and still have a lot of work?"

Seeing her visibly thinner cheeks, big red eyes, and disheveled hair, Qin Rui felt a little distressed in her expression.Even when they were on the road together, she was never in such a mess.If he hadn't begged her to stay and help fight the plague, she might have already taken the boat and returned to Donghao smoothly.

Ding Wei stood up and patted her dusty dress before asking, "How is it outside the city? Are there many people suffering from the disease?"

Qin Rui nodded, "Although most of the corpses have been burned and buried, there are still people who secretly hide the corpses of their family members, and some people refuse to boil water for drinking. In the end..."
