First Class Concubine

Chapter 370 The Emperor is Here
In the county seat of Juxian County in the southwest, all four city gates were tightly closed.Outside the city gate, the refugees gathered around the city gate. They were all separated by a little distance from each other, and occasionally looked at the people around them, all with vigilance and defense.

"Ah, someone died here." A scream sounded from nowhere.Then there was confusion.Someone is running fast.

It's different from the past where people always love to join in the fun and get together.At this time, they all ran out with all their strength, and in an instant they vacated the ten-foot radius around the dead man.

"He died again, he died again." The people watched in horror, their eyes full of despair: "The plague god has come, it must be the plague god, we can't survive, we can't survive. God..."

Immediately, someone knocked on the door again, "Open the door, open the door, let us in. I want to go in, I don't want to die!"

None of them wanted to die, the people outside the city didn't want to die, but the people inside the city didn't want to die either.

This is the plague. After letting them in, didn't they bring the plague in?Therefore, from the very beginning, the gates of the city were tightly closed, people inside could not come out, and people outside could not enter.

Despair filled the city and outside the city, and people panicked.At first, they were wailing, begging, and frantically wanting to do something.But now, they are left with nothing but despair and numbness.

Desperately waiting, waiting, waiting for death to come.Or, it was true that heaven sent a miracle to save them.

And as more and more people died, this despair and numbness spread even more rapidly.

At this moment, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded: "A lord official is here. A lord official is here. The lord official also brought a doctor and medicine. We are saved, we are saved! God has eyes, there are people Come save us!"

The lord Guan rode an expert horse, all the way in the wind and dust, followed by a long motorcade and soldiers in a well-defined formation.

There are medicine pots on the car in the convoy, and these medicine pots don't stop twelve hours a day.Pots of medicinal soup were boiled out for everyone to drink.

When this time came, the official was sitting on horseback, and his voice spread throughout the city, "Listen everyone, there is a medicine stove in the south of the city, everyone can come and drink medicine for free, and get medical treatment from the doctor for free. Anyone who is sure of their health Those who are not sick, someone will arrange for you to leave the epidemic area."

For a time, the whole city shook.All the refugees outside the city flocked.

Along the way, the people in the team are very experienced.The guards who followed were even more elite soldiers. They wore oil leather gloves on their hands and thick medicine masks on their faces.

Quickly line up everyone, and the asymptomatic and symptomatic people are decisively separated.Those who are asymptomatic should receive medicine first.If you have symptoms, let the doctor feel the pulse immediately.

The previous corpses had also been disposed of, burned in a raging fire, and finally only a little ashes were collected into a small jar.Lime water sprayed the place where they were and the entire ground.

The crowd was placed a little farther away from the city gate. Due to insufficient manpower, some asymptomatic and strong people were gathered together alone to help disinfect everywhere.

Soon, the medicine was fragrant and the people's faces were filled with vitality and hope.

In three days, the doctor diagnosed everyone, most of them were healthy.Healthy people wept with joy.The sick are not simply waiting to die at this time.

They all looked at the high official, who was their savior, their salvation.They should remember this long face, pray for him, and never forget the kindness of today.

At this time, the city gate they had been waiting for for a long time was finally opened.

All the officials went out of the city tremblingly, and when they saw the senior official, they collapsed into a ball and prostrated themselves on the ground: "I greet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

emperor?

emperor!

Oh my God, it's the emperor! ! !

The common people were dumbfounded, and then they were moved, excited, and tears of emotion fell down.

It turned out to be the emperor, the emperor was locked outside the city gate together with them, the emperor came to rescue them with medicine, like a god.The emperor was with them, who might have been infected with the plague.Eat together and sleep together for days!Woohoo, how could there be such a moving emperor in the world?

And for so many days, the emperor didn't show a little aloofness, he was a hundred times, a thousand times more friendly than those parents and officials.

Unconsciously, they knelt in his direction and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

But at this time, the crying emperor who moved them finally showed the noble air of the Ninth Five-Year Lord.Even though he is sitting in the shed where he distributes flowers to the people, he is still so noble that no one can climb him.

"Pingsheng." He said to those distributing medicines: "You continue to distribute medicines, don't let these things delay the business." Le Chen only took up a stool, sat there quietly, and gave the officials who knelt on the ground Guys, apply pressure.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Do you still remember, who are you?" Before they could speak, he continued: "You are the parents of the people in this area. You should love the people like your own sons and be the masters for them. But you see Look, the people under your command are in a situation of life and death, not only do you not extend your hand to help them, but you lock them outside the city and let them fend for themselves... Is this what you do as parents?"

"The ministers are terrified, and the ministers are guilty."

"You are guilty." Le Chen snorted coldly, "Since you are convicted, let's make amends."

Atonement?How to redeem?The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why.

Lechen looked at them coldly, feeling more and more disappointed: "Two things, one, open the gates of the city and let healthy people enter the city, so that you can settle down. Second, send all of you who have children to me. Let you really The children, like these people, come to take care of the sick. When this plague will end, when will they go back. Presumably, then you will understand how to be a good parent officer."

The hands and feet of the officials are cold... As parents, they would rather have this kind of thing done by them than by their children.It was a plague. If something happened, wouldn't it be... Of course they would be reluctant.

But the emperor's order is hard to break.

Le Chen continued: "If you let me know who is obedient and disobedient in this matter, the calculation will be settled in the future, and the nine clans will be punished."

Which is more important, the sons and daughters or the nine clans?From a selfish point of view, children are naturally the most important.But they may not dare to take risks with the Nine Clans.

"Go away." The emperor is a pragmatic person, and he doesn't want to fight with them at all.In this matter, they were wrong, so they could only find a way to atone for their sins.

How to redeem?It depends on what they do.They must do well what the emperor ordered, and these things will not be counted on them.If they want to make amends, they have to find another way.

In the afternoon of that day, dozens of brocade-clothed sons and daughters of various ages were sent to the camp.Before coming, everyone must have been told what happened.All of them were pale and frightened.Some are even more miserable, crying and crying.

When Le Chen heard that they were coming, he directly waved his hands and asked someone to take them down and treat them as ordinary people.

The protective measures in the camp are quite good, especially in terms of personal protection.Moreover, the plague is actually not terrible. Find a way to deal with it, treat it in time, prevent infection, and clean up the corpse.Plus there's no panic, the diet is on track, and there's hardly any danger.

As long as these people don't kill themselves, they can still go back alive.

Although Le Chen's identity was exposed, he did not enter the city and still lived outside the city.There was no change from before, which moved all the people to tears from time to time.Even those patients would say: The emperor valued them so much, and accompanied them to take risks, even if they died, they were already content.

Le Chen wrote in a letter to Qi Jing: The latest batch of killers are nearby, but because of those patients, they dare not approach.I suspect that some of those killers have already contracted the disease.To avoid bringing them into town, just stay outside.However, they can be dealt with tonight.The situation here is under control, and it won't be long before I can go back.

As for the officials, they were all dumbfounded.

The emperor asked them to make atonement, but did not leave any instructions.They don't know what to do, sending their children there is a punishment, and they understand this.

Therefore, in order to atone for their sins, they can only keep looking for things to do.

Refugees coming to town, great, finally giving them a chance.Arrange them well, let them eat and wear well, and arrange jobs so that they can live without worries... Ha, at this time, they are really taken care of as children.

But there are few things in the city after all, so it will develop outside the city, the poor people nearby, and the victims of disasters.After a disaster, not everyone will leave their hometown and flee.

After so many years, the people under the rule of the big man are still doing well.It's not that once there is a problem, you can only flee from famine.Their family had surplus food, except for those who had nothing because of the earthquake, and those who had to escape because of the plague, the rest stayed in their hometown.

But their life is not too easy, because they are still affected, and their life, health and property are lost.The officials finally thought of them at this time, so there were more things to do.

Therefore, the news Lechen received during this period made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"All the medicines in the city have been sprinkled, and all the officials and people have cooperated very well."

"The disaster victims have been resettled. Everyone has a place to live, and for the time being, there is also a place to eat." As for how long they can last, it all depends on the conscience of those people.

"The doctors and medicinal materials in the city have been collected and transported here. There are also officials who buy medicines and grains from nearby towns and are transporting them to Qing and Qing counties in Shun County."

"Some nearby disaster victims are also rushing here..."

"The officials of Shun County and Qing County have been arrested." Shun County and Qing County are two dead cities.After the disaster, when the plague started, the officials of these two counties actually let the people affected by the disaster into the city, and ordered people to close the city gate to death, but they escaped by themselves.

This caused so many deaths and injuries in the two counties.

"Caught them?" Le Chen finally came to his senses: "Take them to Shun County and Qing County. Together with their nine clans, they paraded through the streets for three days and beheaded them for public display."
