General doctor's wife

Chapter 89
"I just received a report from Jinling that a plague broke out near the Dongshui River. The governor of Jinling had to kill all the villages and towns within a hundred miles of the Dongshui River to prevent the epidemic from spreading!" Cheng Engong was full of anxiety. In such a cold winter, his face was covered with sweat.

In the study, Emperor Deqing, Consort Chen and Liu Hai were all shocked when they heard the words.

Liu Hai raised his head and looked at Emperor Deqing's face, knowing that he was not the servant to speak about this matter, so he stepped back and listened, ready to obey the arrangement at any time.

The expression on Chen Consort's face changed a few times, and finally he slumped on the chair with some powerlessness: "Father, if this matter gets out, no one will say that the governor of Jinling is wrong, even if we have not received a report in advance, I also feel that Governor Jinling has done a good job.”

Emperor Deqing stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow: "Liu Hai, pass the decree, the epidemic is of great importance, and I have specially sent..." He paused with a headache, not knowing who to send.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go to relieve His Majesty's worries and relieve General Lu. Besides, the status of the minister is here. Even if the governor of Jinling has other thoughts, he must consider it." Cheng Engong immediately bowed to the ground and said .

Emperor Deqing took a deep look at his elder brother-in-law, and moved his eyes away from his gray temples. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Cheng Engong, let Li Qing go. I have selfish intentions today. If What's wrong with you, Ah Sheng..."

Cheng Engong knelt on the spot, hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed heavily: "I don't want to be a family of public servants who only eat the king's salary, and I also want to share the worries for your majesty. Mr. Li is a civil servant, if something happens, It's hard to protect myself. At any rate, I was also a martial artist back then, so I have a little ability to protect myself."

A look of hesitation flashed across Emperor Deqing's face, Cheng Engong saw it in his eyes, and continued to say: "The dog should also have some experience, so that he can serve the child in the empress's womb in the future. If your majesty is really worried, I will go to threaten you." General Yuan’s Mansion borrowed the secret guards from General Qi to escort the ministers.”

Emperor Deqing seemed to be moved by a certain sentence in his words, and finally nodded: "Liu Hai, pass the decree, the closure of the town due to the epidemic is of great importance. I am concerned about the suffering of the victims and their food and lodging. I have sent Cheng Engong to the disaster area to act on my behalf. Observe."

"Mr. Cheng'en, you have to take this decree yourself. You must do it as soon as possible, so as not to cause any trouble at Jinling. You... go back and tidy up and leave immediately." Emperor Deqing said wearily.

"Father, Rong Erchen have a few words with uncle." Seeing that Emperor Deqing had finished speaking, Chen Fuma got up and said.

Emperor Deqing nodded: "You always have a lot of ideas, so tell me, maybe you can help me."

Concubine Chen cupped his hands at Emperor Deqing, turned around and told Cheng Engong: "Uncle, since the governor of Jinling wants to seal the city, he must mobilize the strength of the garrison. Since the garrison general has been imprisoned by him, then the deputy will obey." This order has been issued. With General Lu’s behavior, his secret guards will inevitably be sent to various places in Jinling to find out news. You can gather General Lu’s secret guards first, and they may have better news.”

After finishing speaking, he took out a signal stick: "This is given to me by General Lu when something happened in Duke Feng's mansion. It can call all the off-duty officers in the Moxi Army."

Hearing what Chen Concubine said, Emperor Deqing thought to himself that it was a pity that the concubine could not be an official in the court, and it was doomed that Chen Concubine's talents and learning would not be praised by the world.

Cheng Engong took the signal baton, saluted Emperor Deqing, took the imperial edict from Liu Hai, and strode towards the outside of the palace.

In the evening, more than a dozen horses rode out of the city.

"Lu Yi, the governor of Jinling has mobilized the garrison and went to various towns, saying that there is an outbreak of the epidemic and the town will be closed." Lu Liu suddenly appeared with an anxious expression on his face.

"All the soldiers didn't know what happened to his sudden order, and I just got the news." Lu Liu followed Lu Yi who hurriedly got up and rushed out of the woods after hearing the first sentence, "There is a deputy general surnamed Meng who obeys his dispatch."

Lu Yi clenched his hands into fists and cursed fiercely: "Fuck! General, hurry up and report to the garrison. The governor of Jinling should have been chopped off!"

"I'm going to General Zheng's side, I'm afraid his life will be lost."

"Folks, [-] bags of rice have been registered. Let's go to the gate of the county government office and serve porridge over there." Old Wu pointed to the cart beside him and said to everyone.

The folks in Fangdian saw that they did what they said, and the grain guards were also watching, so they were relieved and followed them back to the county government.

In the county yamen, several people guarding the county magistrate and yamen servants were filling their stomachs with the leftover food on the table, and swearing viciously while eating: "These moths, we are starving and cold outside, and they are eating inside." Drink up, no wonder everyone's faces are flushed, it turns out they were fed with our blood!"

They only dared to touch the food on the table, but they never dared to touch the wine, firstly, they were afraid of causing trouble, and secondly, Lu Jiu had told him several times about the fact that there was medicine in the wine, and they didn't want to mess with the moth lying on the ground. generally.

The sound of more and more boiling outside has not affected them. Although it is leftovers, there are fish and meat, which is much better than porridge.

"Everyone line up, let the children and the elderly come to the front, and each has a bowl!" The thickly boiled rice porridge exudes a strong fragrance, and all the victims gather around the gate of the county government office, taking out their bodies. bowl, squeeze forward.

Mr. Kang had to stand up and shouted loudly to the crowd.Fortunately, Mr. Kang's prestige was still there, and soon, the crowd stood in two neat lines, with the elderly and children standing in front, and adults and men and women standing in the back.

Qin Ranran brought Hong Xiu, Lu Jiu, and a few women from the Fang shop to serve everyone porridge one by one, sweating from the work.

Lu Chengan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but there was a wave of uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

within the county government.

"Liu Liu, watch carefully. I haven't eaten meat for the past few days. I suddenly feel sick after eating some." One of the two men standing in the yamen's room suddenly held his stomach, said something to the other, and then ran out.

The remaining man laughed and scolded "a worthless dog's belly" behind his back. Just as he was about to turn around to see if the yamen servants were awake, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes turned black.

He struggled to turn around, but felt more severe pain on the back of his neck, and finally fell to the ground and passed out.

"If I don't faint again, I will kill someone." A yamen servant who woke up at the back rubbed his painful wrist, threw away the dagger in his hand, looked at the fellows who hadn't woken up, and picked up his Saber, went out.
