Palace Concubine Policy: Invincible Queen

Chapter 248: Surviving a Catastrophe (21)
"I don't give these things to you. They are life-saving money for the people in the city. These things are dead, but people are alive. They can be bought back when they have money, but they can't be brought back to life after they die. "Dong Xiaowan said.

"Then I will thank Mr. Murong on behalf of the people in the city!" Liu Butou said and knelt down towards Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan hurriedly helped him up and said: "Catcher Liu, please stand up. Catcher Liu serves the country and the people, and is much better than those stupid officials who sit in official positions and do nothing. Taoyang County has Butou Liu, that is Taoyang The blessings of the people in the county. Liu Tutou should do it quickly. If it is later, the prices of those medicinal materials and food will increase again."

After hearing this, Catcher Liu bowed his hands to Dong Xiaowan and went out.

With enough silver, one can buy enough medicinal materials and food, so the epidemic situation in the city has been completely controlled, and the patients are slowly recovering.People in Taoyang County all regarded Dong Xiaowan as a living god.But danger also came at this time.

Chapter 8Conspiracy

It is said that Wu Zhixin, the prefect of Hejian, is a timid person, and he had some relationship with Xiao Yuanzhou before he was promoted to the post of prefect.Although the Shengtong Emperor Ouyang Zhexuan didn't punish all the people involved except Xiao Yuanzhou.Instead, he adopted a tolerant attitude, because Ouyang Zhexuan knew that if all the people implicated were punished, the court would be in chaos, so Ouyang Zhexuan let these people go, and he could win a man who governs the world with benevolence. good name.

Wu Zhixin had a teacher named Liao Buzhong, who was an evil person, and often gave Wu Zhixin some evil ideas to harm the people and fill his own pockets.The price of medicinal materials and rice grains has risen so high because of Liao Buzhong.More than half of the huge profits gained went into Wu Zhixin and his pockets.

When Wu Zhixin heard that the plague in Taoyang County had been brought under control, and that the sick people were gradually getting better, he was happy, so he said to Liao Buzhong, "Now I can ask the emperor for credit!"

"My lord, don't be too happy! If your lord doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid not only you won't be able to keep your black yarn, but you may even lose your head." Liao Buzhong said to Wu Zhixin with a wink.

"Why is that?" Wu Zhixin asked inexplicably.

"Think about it, my lord! When my lord reported to the imperial court, he also said that the epidemic could not be controlled, but now not only has the epidemic been brought under control, but even the plague has been cured! Moreover, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, my lord issued an order to massacre the city privately. It’s not small. If your lord wants to claim credit, then the emperor will definitely punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor, not to mention that your lord used to belong to Xiao Yuanzhou’s party, so the emperor will not show mercy.” Liao Buzhong said while turning his mouse eyes.

After listening to Liao Buzhong's words, Wu Zhixin also felt that it made sense. He stroked his goatee and asked, "Then what should you say?"

"My lord, why don't you blame the person who healed the disease?" Liao Buzhong said with gleam in his eyes.

"How to say?" Wu Zhixin didn't understand Liao Buzhong's words.
