Chapter 350 Reporting to the court
Naturally, it can no longer be concealed when a human life is caused. Such a thing alarmed the government and Prince Yu naturally knew about it.

After hearing what Xuye said, Prince Yu frowned slightly. Even if he knew about such a thing, he had no position to intervene. After all, the emperor sent him here to guard half of the city. He also can't jump soldiers and horses at will.

It would be easy for him to intervene if he had a false position in the court before, but it is really not easy for him to participate too much now.

"What does Prefect Liu say?"

"I heard that Liu Zhifu went there in person, but when he heard that it might be an epidemic that could infect people, he appointed someone else to take a look as soon as he reached the street."

Prince Yu was not surprised by such an answer, this Liu Zhifu was still an official dispatched by the late Emperor when he was alive, but naturally no one would come to a place like Bancheng.Therefore, Zhifu Liu's coming to Bancheng can be regarded as having been promoted to an official rank, but there is really nothing to like about Zhifu Liu's way of being an official.Although he barely makes mistakes, he will definitely not be a good official who is diligent and caring for the people. He does not seek merit, but has the mentality of seeking no faults.

It's just that since it is suspected to be an epidemic, it must be reported to the court in time.It's hard for me to say anything at the moment, lest the emperor think that he has troops stationed here but still cares about the situation in half of the city.After all, it was a great kindness for him not to stay in the army with the Qilin army.

"Are you sure it's an epidemic?"

"There are five or six families in an alley suffering from this strange disease. Prefect Liu is afraid that the infection will spread and has gathered these sick people in one place for isolation."

"Well, the imperial court should see the reaction of Liu Zhifu before making a decision."

Before Xuye and Prince Yu had finished speaking, Liao Yi came to report in a hurry. They thought that this kind of situation only happened in the alley in the west of the city, but today they found out that this kind of situation also happened in the east of the city and it was more serious than the west of the city. .About ten people have been identified, not including those who committed suicide after getting sick and couldn't stand the blow.

Liu Zhifu knew that this kind of thing was also a headache. He thought that the small number of people could be suppressed. Now that there are so many people and the real cause of death from the epidemic has not been found, even if they are isolated, some people will continue to attack.Such a situation cannot be concealed anymore, not to mention that Prince Yu is also in the city, if he reports to the court first, then he will be punished by the emperor.

The left and right are just a slash of the head, and the slash of the head is also a slash. It might be better to report it to the emperor in person, and maybe there can be some relief.Thinking of this, magistrate Liu couldn't help but feel sad. He came to such a remote place to be an official, and he couldn't make much money, and he always had to worry about wars and chaos. Now that such a thing happened, he was really upset.

"Your Majesty, Prefect Liu is asking to see you."

Why did Prefect Liu come back? Prince Yu knew in his heart that it was just that Prefect Liu himself was not transparent enough. In fact, there was really no need to come to him at this time. please come in.

"Your Majesty has seen Prince Yu."

"Master Liu, please sit down."

After Liu Zhifu was seated, someone served tea, Prince Yu drank the tea, looked at Liu Zhifu but didn't ask Ito.

Originally, Liu Zhifu thought that when he came to visit Prince Yu, he would ask him why he came, so he went along with the flow and said his words, and tried to test Prince Yu's meaning by the way.But now that Prince Yu was sitting there looking at him expressionlessly, Liu Zhifu could only bite the bullet and speak up by himself.

"The next official should have come to see Prince Yu long ago, but there were too many things to delay, please Prince Yu not to blame."

"Where is Master Liu, it is true that this king was ordered to guard half of the city, but in the end it is only a general's job. If we follow the old rules, I should be in the barracks. It is only because of the emperor's sympathy that I was allowed to live in the city. That's all."

"Yes, yes, His Majesty naturally loves Prince Yu very much." Prefect Liu realized that it was very inappropriate as soon as he finished speaking.The first emperor could call Prince Yu a favorite, but Prince Yu was demoted when he came to Bancheng.And the new emperor didn't even allow Prince Yu to rush back to attend the funeral for the funeral ceremony of the first emperor. I dare not say whether it is good or bad.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Liu Zhifu could only laugh dryly, but fortunately, Prince Yu didn't seem to show any displeasure.

"Well, the lord should have heard about the recent epidemic in the city. The officials have already tried their best to treat it, but the epidemic broke out, and the officials did not expect it."

"Well, I have indeed heard about this matter, but it is not easy for me to intervene in this matter, and Lord Liu should report this matter to the court as soon as possible."

Seeing that Prince Yu didn't say anything else, Liu Zhifu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief that I had no intention of intervening in this matter.But Prince Yu had already spoken about the matter reported to the imperial court, so he thought there was no delay.

"The lower official understands that it's just that Prince Yu is in the city, and the lower official will inevitably come to inform him. Although there is nothing abnormal here, please pay more attention to the prince."

"I understand Master Liu's kindness."

"In this way, I won't bother Prince Yu."

After Liu Zhifu left Prince Yu's mansion, he went back and wrote a note and handed it up. This matter cannot be concealed anymore.Moreover, the epidemic must be brought under control in time. Half a city is not considered a big city. If it can't be controlled... Thinking of this, Mr. Liu feels very tired.

The doctors in the city were all mobilized by the prefect Liu to check on the sick patients in turn, and two isolated courtyards were set up on the east and west sides, so that all seriously ill people could be gathered in one place.

But even so, the doctors did not make much progress after a few days of treatment. Except for the short-term relief of the ulceration on the skin surface, it did not prevent the development of the disease, and the number of infected people continued to increase.

The initial onset is exactly the same, but it is strange that this is only the case on the east and west sides of the city.The doctors who came into contact with them every day did not show any signs of infection. Even if the doctors have experience and know how to protect themselves, they can't always be foolproof in such things.

The people in half of the city didn't understand why they contracted such a strange disease, and they didn't know how it came about. In addition to fear, everyone was thinking more about how to prevent themselves from contracting it, so every family spent the whole day They will boil all kinds of so-called soups that seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and you can smell the strong herbal smell wafting around from a distance.

"Master, please drink this. Recently, people in the city have been panicking. Let's also drink it for peace of mind."

Qingfeng brought a bowl of black and steaming soup from the kitchen, and Qi Yunliang took a look and knew that it was nothing more than ordinary detoxification and prevention Radix isatidis mixed with some nourishing things.

"If you really get sick and drink this, you may not be able to prevent it. It's not convenient for the prince to participate in such a thing. I don't want to ask more questions. I don't know how the situation in the city is?"
