Chapter 273 Absolutely Not
Looking at the golden token in his hand and the word Shengping engraved on it, Qi Jiang frowned slightly, glanced at the two people below, Xu Ni, and gave the order: "Open the city gate."

A soldier hurried down the city tower and opened the city gate, but only a crack was opened, allowing only Luo Wuyou and Han Yao to pass through the city gate. Luo Wuyou turned around and saw the guards guarding the city gate. Many people outside were rushing to this side, seeing that the city gate was closed again.

Many fell to the ground, howling and cursing...

"Qizhou City guards Qijiang, and I have met the county lord of Shengping!" The fifth-rank military position of the city guard is the same as that of Luo Wuyou's county lord, but Luo Wuyou's county lord has a fief.

Therefore, Qi Jiang and Luo Wuyou's salute was not considered excessive. Luo Wuyou recovered, but turned slightly sideways and said directly: "Master Qi is very polite. I don't know where Mr. Zhifu is now. I have important I want to see the magistrate."

"Lord Xiao took the government doctor to the isolation area to check the condition of the sick. If the county lord wants to see Lord Xiao, he might as well go to the magistrate's yamen and wait. I will send someone to notify the magistrate first."

"No need, Mr. Qi should take us directly to the epidemic area."

"But the county lord..."

Qi Jiang was a little worried, "The people who are housed there are patients infected with the epidemic. If they go there, there may be something wrong." Is it from the capital, or is it the county head appointed by the emperor himself.

If something really happened, they wouldn't be able to explain it.

"It's okay, I'm also a doctor, and I'm here for the epidemic, maybe there's something I can help with, by the way, could I trouble Master Qi to give me a detailed introduction to the symptoms of the epidemic. "

Luo Wuyou said while walking, Qi Jiang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and followed, "That's fine, speaking of this epidemic, it's coming so fiercely that all the doctors in the city are helpless. The symptoms of patients are mostly high fever, and then a rash will appear on the body."

"And vomiting up and down, the rash will fester in three to five days, and people will lose their breath. At the beginning, some people in the city went to see a doctor. The doctor thought it was a cold, and prescribed a decoction to treat the cold, but after taking the medicine, the sick However, it was too late when the pregnancy was discovered, too many people were infected with the disease, and many people had already died..."

From Qi Jiang's narration along the way, Luo Wuyou and Han Yao also knew the general situation.

The flood of the Weihe River starts from Yongzhou, winds its way through the ancient Youlan Road, and destroys five cities. The disasters range from mild to severe. Among them, Yongzhou and Fengzhou City are the most severely affected. Farmland and houses are flooded, and people are displaced overnight. , Qizhou City is the closest to Fengzhou, and many people fled to Qizhou.

Then Fengzhou broke out, and there were not many deaths at first.

The officials of Fengzhou Mansion didn't care, but the epidemic spread very quickly, and more and more people died later. The officials were afraid of taking responsibility, so they simply sealed off the city, trying to hide the news, but the people who fled to Qizhou earlier those refugees.

But it brought the epidemic to Qizhou.

Compared with Fengzhou, Qizhou was less affected by the disaster, and there was an influx of refugees. Xiao Tingzhong found a place to resettle these people, but he did not expect that the people in Qizhou city also suffered this catastrophe.

When Qi Jiang talked about this matter, he was full of resentment, and even cursed at the officials of the Toyosu prefect.There are not only people in the city, but also their family members. Many of the government officials who were in charge of resettling refugees, soldiers and their families were also infected with the disease and were quarantined together.

It's no wonder that when he mentioned this matter, he would be so angry that he couldn't stop talking.

While speaking, everyone has also arrived at the place.

"Master, this is the place."

A trace of grief flashed across Qi Jiang's face, and Luo Wuyou blinked and looked over. It was a low adobe house with a long history, and it was on the verge of collapse, but it housed countless refugees.

Looking at the past, there are countless numbers, all of them are pale and gray, revealing a sense of decadence and depression, the sound of moaning and weeping, echoing over the wooden house, and there is a strong rancid smell in the air taste.

On the faces of more people, there was despair like ashes.

No one wants to die, but the government has set up roadblocks and sent archers to guard all around. If anyone escapes, they will be shot and killed on the spot. No one can escape, and they can only linger here and wait for death.

The magistrate Xiao Tingzhong was standing not far away with the yamen servants. His fourth-rank official uniform was very conspicuous, and people could see it at a glance.

"My lord, this is the Lord of Shengping County, who came here from the capital!"

"Worriless has met the magistrate."

Luo Wuyou walked over with fists slightly, bowed towards Xiao Tingzhong, Xiao Tingzhong was about 40 years old, with a square face, tired face, and thin body, he glanced at Luo Wuyou, slightly surprised.

"You don't need to be too polite! I just don't know what is the important thing for the county master to come here?"

Xiao Tingzhong glanced at Qi Jiang, his face slightly sullen: "Here are all people infected with the epidemic, Qi Jiang, why didn't you take the county master to resettle in the city, but brought people here instead, didn't I say that, except for the people in the government , other people are not allowed to approach?"

This Xiao Tingzhong probably regarded her as a child of those dandy families, and wanted to show off.

The disapproval on that face was too obvious.

"This subordinate knows his mistake! It's just that the county lord said he knows medical skills, so maybe he can..."

"It's ridiculous, so many doctors can't do anything about it, what can the county magistrate do with a rich lady?" Before Qi Jiang finished speaking, he was scolded by Xiao Tingzhong and swallowed it back.

How blunt it is to say that, how blunt it is, it is clear that he does not believe that Luo Wuyou will have a way.

Luo Wuyou didn't care either, after all, she belonged to her daughter's family, which of these officials could think highly of her daughter's family, not to mention, her age was also there, so it's no wonder this old-fashioned would not believe it.

She just said lightly: "Master Xiao, don't blame Lord Qi, Wuyou made it his own to bring us here, Lord Xiao, I want to know if there is a person named Gu Liunian in this epidemic area. "

"Gu Liunian, you mean Gu Liunian, the eldest son of the Gu family?"

Xiao Tingzhong was taken aback, "Dare to ask the county magistrate, who are you, and what are you going to do to find him?"

The Gu family can be considered a big family in Qizhou City. Master Gu was also an official in the past, but unfortunately, he offended the courtiers and was demoted back to Qizhou.

Regarding the matter in Beijing, Qizhou Mansion is far away, and the age has passed too long, so they naturally don't know the truth about Gu Tingzhi's demotion.

Luo Wuyou heard the words but only answered four words: "My mother's surname is Gu!"

Her maiden name is Gu, which means she might be a member of the Gu family?

Xiao Tingzhong turned his eyes and looked at Luo Wuyou with a more icy face, and his voice was also resolute.There was a sense of sternness: "Eldest Young Master Gu is indeed here, but I cannot let you take him away. Eldest Young Master has had contact with refugees, contracted the disease, and his condition is serious, so he must be quarantined. If the county lord takes him out and infects other people, I believe the county lord can't bear the responsibility."

Luo Wuyou had expected him to say this, and said: "My lord, don't worry, Wuyou doesn't want to take my cousin away, but Wuyou wants to go in and see my cousin."

In the previous life, the eldest cousin contracted the febrile plague and died during this epidemic.

At the time of death, only half a year after Niang Yun passed away, something happened to the eldest cousin again, and the grandfather and grandmother were hit hard. The grandfather who had always been tough overnight became gray-haired and aged by more than ten years.

Grandmother even shed tears all day long, and almost blinded her eyes from crying.

In this world, she was reborn, and even worshiped her master as a teacher and became the successor of Guigu. How could she let those things happen again?
After worry-free words, Xiao Tingzhong's expression immediately changed from stern to gloomy, and he refused without any hesitation: "This is absolutely not possible. What if the county lord goes in and catches the epidemic? You must know that the doctors are helpless, and many people have died. , the county lord's departure is tantamount to seeking his own death."

"This official will absolutely not allow it, Qi Jiang, please send the county magistrate back to the government office."

"Yes." Qi Jiang knew that Xiao Tingzhong was angry, so he quickly responded.

"Wait a minute, Lord Xiao, worry-free..."

"The county magistrate, don't say any more. If the official says it's inaccurate, then he won't. Is Qi Jiang still waiting for the official to invite him personally?"

"Master, please."

Wuyou was cut off by Xiao Tingzhong before he finished speaking, and Qi Jiang had already stretched out his hand as a gesture of sending someone away. No wonder Han Zhuo would say that Xiao Tingzhong is a rigid person, and he didn't even let him finish his sentence.

And looking at it like this, if she doesn't leave, he still plans to use force.

Luo Wuyou's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Han Zhuo, who stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Tingzhong's neck.

"you……"

"Master, please let go of your lord..."

"Lord Qi, don't worry, we won't do anything to Master Xiao."

Luo Wuyou was impatient, but had to deal with them, and said softly: "Master Xiao, Lord Qi, I am a doctor, and I am under the tutelage of the director of the Grand Hospital. I will take preventive measures myself, so that I will not let myself be infected with the epidemic. Yes, so you can rest assured and tell me the whereabouts of my cousin."

"Here, my lord..." Qi Jiang looked at the furious Xiao Tingzhong, and his face was not very good. It's all over now. When he returns, he will definitely not be able to run away after scolding him.

In her heart, she hated herself for making her own decisions, but she still told Luo Wuyou, "Master, it's okay to tell you, he's in the farthest room to the west."

"You two adults, please rest assured, no matter whether Wuyou has an accident or not, the two adults will never be implicated."

Luo Wuyou took the horse's burden and walked in the direction Qi Jiang pointed. Han Zhuo was like a patron saint who stayed close to each other. Maybe it was because the man had too much evil spirit, or maybe the sword in his hand was intimidating everyone.

Those who were infected with the epidemic were eager to move, but finally stopped.

Countless pairs of eyes watched the two walk to the wooden house in the west courtyard.

bang...

Before he got close, he heard a muffled sound coming from the room, Luo Wuyou's expression changed slightly, he stepped forward a few quick steps and pushed, the wooden door was opened with a creak, and there was a strong musty smell mixed with putrefaction smell, rushing head-on.

A skinny man was overturned beside the wooden bed.

Struggling to get up.

"How are you?" Luo Wuyou reached out to help the man up.The man shrank back, covering his face.

Weakly shouted: "Don't touch me, it will be contagious."
