Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 129

Lin Qingze coughed, breaking the suffocating confrontation and said: "The girl and the prince might as well wait for the news first. The subordinates will immediately send someone to Qingyuan County in person, and the news will come back by noon tomorrow at the most. "If something goes wrong with these two, how will they explain to the underground master and wife and the young master of Hangzhou City, not to mention the identity of His Royal Highness Yan Wang...

While comforting Daiyu, Huangfu Bingyan said to Lin Qingze: "You send someone to check it first, the point is to check what kind of disease it is, and if there is any treatment method. We also need to prepare some things, and we will leave tomorrow "Looking down at Daiyu who was staring at him dissatisfiedly in his arms, Huangfu Bingyan smiled wryly and said: "If I go, I must take you with me, okay?" It's better to take her by my side than to go alone Much safer.After having Junhao in the past two years, Yu'er's temperament seems to have begun to move closer to that of a child.It's usually okay, but sometimes it's stubborn and scary when you encounter something.Daiyu blinked, smiled and nodded.

The next day, Daiyu and Huangfu Bingyan left for Qingyuan County, a hundred miles away.At noon, the news that Lin Qingze came to report again made both of them look down.Daiyu looked at Lin Qingze solemnly and said, "You mean the road leading to Qingyuan has been blocked?" Lin Qingze nodded and said, "Exactly, there are officers and soldiers setting up checkpoints ten miles away in Qingyuan County, and they are not allowed to enter or exit. , and those who go out are more strictly checked. Because Qingyuan County is located in a very remote place and the county seat is not big, not many people have noticed. Now, it is not easy for our people to go in." Daiyu nodded and ordered Lin Qingze said: "I'm afraid something really happened, so there's no need to force people back."

Lin Qingze shook his head and said: "Young master has also received the news. This morning, you have ordered our forces in Jiangnan to investigate the matter with all our strength. If there is really an epidemic in Qingyuan County, our Lin family will still intervene. The subordinates have already summoned several A medical clinic, please send an experienced doctor to come and meet with us as soon as possible. If the prince and the girl insist on going to Qingyuan County, let the subordinates come with you." Huangfu Bingyan nodded in praise: "The Lin family is worthy of being The pillar of the Qinglong Dynasty, since this is the case, you can come with us."

The three of them headed south all the way, and then several doctors sent by the Lin family also rushed to meet with them.These doctors are one of the most famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they know that they may face unpredictable epidemics ahead, these doctors don't have the slightest fear of leaving the house.The leader reported calmly: "The medical center and pharmacy under the banner have already started to mobilize all kinds of medicinal materials, and they can be shipped to Qingyuan County within two days."

When the group arrived ten miles away from Qingyuan County, they saw the checkpoint set up on the official road. Before they got close, someone stepped forward and asked loudly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Among them An old doctor stepped forward and said: "We want to go to Qingyuan County in front of us, where is this, gentlemen?" The officers and soldiers stepped forward to interrogate: "Go back, this road is blocked, and we cannot go to Qingyuan County now." The doctor pretended to be puzzled and said: "Why is this? Our master and wife want to visit friends in Qingyuan County, so we must give a reason for not being allowed to go here, right?" The officer waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and return the same way , This is an order from the Governor, no one is allowed to enter or leave Qingyuan County without your warrant!" The old doctor looked back at the carriage in embarrassment, Lin Qingze stepped forward and said: "Our master wants to go, please make it easier for you Make way." The officer sneered and said, "Whoever dares to disobey the order of the governor, you should go back quickly, don't make trouble for nothing, and bring yourself into a prison for nothing.

A corner of the curtain of the carriage was raised, Huangfu Bingyan glanced at the official, and said coldly: "Get out of the way. Lin Qingze, if these people don't know how to flatter you, then you don't have to be polite." With Huangfu Bingyan's permission, Lin Qingze was obviously relaxed a lot.He wasn't afraid of these government servants, he just wanted to give the royal family and the court some face.Since Huangfu Bingyan said so, they naturally needn't be polite.With a wave of his hand, several guards of the Lin family immediately stepped forward to take down all the officials and sent them to the side of the road.The carriage started again.In the carriage, Huangfu Bingyan's voice said faintly: "Go back and tell Liang Tong and Qin Rui that I will settle the score with him later!" The officials were obviously shocked by the sudden situation, and after hearing these words, they couldn't help asking Lin Qingze next to him said, "That... that is..." Lin Qingze sneered and said, "Can't you tell? That's the car of His Royal Highness Yanwang and Wangfei."

"King Yan...Princess?" Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the officer jumped up anxiously, "You can't enter there! This..." Lin Qingze said: "Your Highness Yan Wang came here in person because you knew you couldn't enter. Otherwise, the people inside will probably die. Go back and tell Liang Tong what to do and let him figure it out for himself!"

Along the way, Qingyuan County was already in sight, the city gate was not open like other towns, and pedestrians were constantly coming and going.The gate of the city was closed tightly, and there was no one on the wall. It was so quiet that one couldn't help but wonder if it had become a dead city.Lin Qingze went forward and knocked on the city gate for a long time, just when he was a little impatient and was about to use lightness kung fu to jump on top of the city wall, the city gate was quietly opened a small crack.Then it was quickly opened, and a group of people rushed out from inside and surrounded them.Lin Qingze looked at these people, all of them looked sallow and emaciated like skin and bones.Looking at them is full of defensive and unkind eyes.Huangfu Bingyan got out of the carriage, looked calmly at the group of people in front of him, and asked lightly: "Is the magistrate of this county still there?" It is still not something that this group of sick and weak people can resist.The crowd backed a few steps involuntarily, and one of them stood up and looked at him vigilantly, holding a stick tightly in his hand and said: "Who are you?" Huangfu Bingyan said: "This king is Huangfu Bingyan. inflammation."

The name Huangfu Bingyan has been heard of even in a small border country, and in other places. For the people of the Qinglong Dynasty, this name is even more like a god.Everyone looked blankly at the handsome but indifferent man in front of them, some couldn't believe their ears.It took a long time before someone said in a trembling voice: "You are...you are His Royal Highness Yan Wang??" Huangfu Bingyan nodded slightly and said: "It is this king." Suddenly someone in the crowd started to cry, and many people whispered among themselves. But the wariness in his eyes has been reduced a lot.A pale and thin young man stepped out from the crowd, looked straight into Huangfu Bingyan's eyes and said, "Why do you say you are His Highness Yan Wang?" Huangfu Bingyan stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of the man. The token of the white jade dragon pattern, in the middle of the token of white jade is a blood-red flame.On the other side of the token is engraved a Yan character in seal script, and below it is the seal of the emperor's jade seal.The man was stunned for a moment, with excitement flashing in his eyes, he knelt down and said with a bang: "The official Qingyuan magistrate Wu Ran kowtowed to see His Royal Highness Yan Wang, the official is incompetent, I beg His Highness Yan Wang to save the lives of Qingyuan people!" The pale young man was obviously very convinced. Seeing him kneeling down, the others also dropped the sticks in their hands and knelt down on the ground, "I beg His Royal Highness Yan Wang to save the lives of the people of Qingyuan..."

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Huangfu Bingyan looked indifferent.But those who really know him know that at this time his heart is extremely angry.It took a long time to look at Wu Ran, the county magistrate of Qingyuan, and said: "The people of Qingyuan have never been sorry to the court. It is the court who owes the local people. Get up." Wu Ran didn't know how serious he wanted to disobey King Yan, because the appearance of King Yan was really important to the people of Qingyuan, once he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that all the people in this city would really die in vain.Huangfu Bingyan frowned and was about to speak when Daiyu lifted the curtain and came out from the carriage, and said softly: "Master Wu, since the lord has arrived here, naturally he will never leave the common people alone, so get up." Everyone raised their heads and looked Seeing the woman in white standing in front of her, like a nine-day fairy, she didn't know if it was real or not.They all stood up at the same time.

After entering the city, you can see many residents with disfigured faces everywhere along the way, but fortunately there are not many of them.Regardless of whether there is any real disease or not, if so many people are still alive after at least four months, then the disease is not as serious as they imagined, at least not immediately fatal.The few doctors are benevolent, and they have already dispersed to see the common people without Huangfu Bingyan and Daiyu's orders.Daiyu ordered several guards to go with the doctors, leaving only Lin Qingze with them, led by Wu Ran all the way to the county government.The entire county government office was deserted and there was no depression at all, Wu Ran personally brought water for the two of them.Of course there is no tea, only a glass of white water.Naturally, Huangfu Bingyan and Daiyu were not in the mood to worry about this, Daiyu said: "Master Wu, what is going on in Qingyuan County?"

Wu Ran looked at Huangfu Bingyan, and then said: "My lord and concubine, at the end of last year, two families in the east of the city got sick, and within a few days, both of these two families died. Many of the same symptoms also appeared one after another, and gradually spread to several nearby villages outside the city. The subordinate officials immediately sent a letter to the prefect and the governor, asking them to send the doctors and medicinal materials. At first, the prefect of Hangzhou His Excellency also sent people over, but the reason was never found out. Afterwards, the doctor sent from Hangzhou also fell ill, and after more than ten days, the Governor ordered Qingyuan County to be sealed off, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and no more photographs were taken. Anyone come to help us. Qingyuan County is located in a remote place, and there are not many medicinal materials and no famous doctors. In this way... the people in the whole city can only wait for death." Speaking of this, Wu Ran couldn't bear it. Eye sockets flushed.Although he doesn't have any big ambitions to help the world, he has been working hard to love the people like a son.Now he can only watch the people die one by one in front of him but is helpless, the feeling in his heart can be imagined.
