Jinghong Building

More and more people fell ill. At first, they were just soldiers, but later there were also generals and officers leading the troops. Everyone had almost the same symptoms, including diarrhea first, and then the high fever did not subside.

In Xi'an and Xianyang, all the doctors who could be found came, and even Wenpo and the apprentice pharmacy shop staff were arrested.

That's right, it was arrested.

Especially those who were in a state of peace, when they saw soldiers knocking on the door, they panic and shouted, and even rolled around.

The military men had no patience to deal with these aunts and ladies. They walked over and kicked a few times, and their families rushed over and fought together.

Most of the Wenpo were sent to the military camp in large numbers.

Originally, as long as the purpose of the visit was stated, the people in the pharmacy would cooperate with each other, but what the army needed was not only people, but also medicine.

The problem is that Wu Ji has to spend money to buy medicine and has allocated money, but the military men are not all good people, so they want to take the opportunity to get some money. After a few people discussed it, I stuffed the silver, and snatched it when I arrived at the medicine shop.

How could the people in the pharmacy shop let them rob for nothing? After a while, they had another punch and kick. The people in the pharmacy shop could not beat these soldiers. In the end, they were not only robbed of medicine, but also the broken silver that they had just collected that day. In the end, even the shopkeeper and the guy who were beaten to the point of bruising nose were **** and taken away together.

For a moment, everyone in the city was in danger and guessed what had happened.

I don’t know who first spread it. In less than half a day, the news that the epidemic was rampant in the army and many people had died was spread quickly from Xi'an to Xianyang.

Time of epidemic!

Many people have died!

When the people heard these news, they were so scared that they were lost.

The last time these two places occurred in the epidemic was twenty-eight years ago, and many elderly people are still in fear.

"When the epidemic occurred, the news was sent to the court. The imperial physician and the Jinyiwei sent the imperial physician. However, the imperial physician also contracted the epidemic as soon as he arrived in Xi'an. The Jinyiwei decided that the epidemic could not be cured at this time, and immediately ordered the people who contracted the epidemic to be infected with the epidemic. Delivered outside the city.”

"My family is all infected with the epidemic. I am the only one who survived. We were all sent out of the city back then. So many people were locked up together, and no one treated us. Every day, people died. People piled up together and burned."

"Later, the shopkeeper Pinggu in Jinghonglou brought many people to the outside of the city to argue with the Jinyiwei. The shopkeeper Pinggu was a young girl back then, and she asked someone to bring 10,000 taels of silver. If these people cannot be cured, she They will also burn them according to the requirements of the Jinyiwei, ensuring that a patient will not be let go. If there is any mistake, the money will be bought for the brothers of the Jinyiwei. "

"Pinggu's shopkeeper invited several medical monks from somewhere. The medical monks set up a big pot to make soup. I have never drunk such bitter medicine, but after drinking it for three days, my symptoms and many people were gone. It was alleviated, and people still died every day, but the number was significantly reduced, and in the end, half of us survived."

A woman's sob came from the crowd next to her: "But there is no Jinghong Tower now, and the shopkeeper Pinggu has also been killed by the bad guys. Where can we find a medical monk? Who will save us?"

Yes, there is no Jinghonglou, and there is no more shopkeeper Pinggu. The old shopkeeper who has been doing good deeds and accumulated virtue for the rest of his life has been killed.

A child shouted: "I know who killed the shopkeeper Ping Gu, it was the Princess of Chang'an!"

A woman quickly covered the child's mouth, and the child whispered, and the woman slapped the child's butt: "What nonsense, if you don't say it, no one thinks you are a mute, a stinky child, go home quickly ! ”

The old man who had just spoken sighed: "Damn, don't vent your anger on the child, and the child is not wrong."

Someone changed the topic: "All the doctors in the city were arrested. Once the epidemic spreads from the barracks, we can't even find the doctors. I don't know if the official has reported this to the court. If the court can send the imperial physician Just come here."

Someone sneered, "You are dreaming that the King of Chang'an is our court. Now the doctors have been captured by the King of Chang'an and they are in the military camp. Where can the imperial physicians come from? There are not even ordinary doctors."

The woman who had just cried even louder: "It's over, it's no help, we can only wait to die!"

At first, this woman was the only one crying, but later she cried louder and more and more people cried with her.

The epidemic came, but they had nothing, no court, no Jinghonglou, no shopkeeper Pinggu, no doctor, and the King of Chang'an who was in charge of them would only compete with the people for doctors, and the Princess of Chang'an was the murderer who killed the shopkeeper Pinggu.

Suddenly, someone thought of something: "By the way, the King of Chang'an sent people to grab medicinal materials everywhere. Let's go and stock up on medicine, otherwise the medicinal materials will be snatched away by the King of Chang'an."

Everyone suddenly realized that ordinary people could not rob the military men. If they did not stock up on medicine, there would be no medicine.

But the bad news came soon, and all clinics and pharmacies, big and small, closed down.

Think about it, there are no doctors and apprentices in the clinic, and no shopkeepers and clerks in the pharmacy. Of course, this business cannot continue. If the door is not closed, are you still waiting for the military men to come and loot again?

The people's eyes were red in anger. What should I do?

Someone took the stone to the pharmacy and smashed the door without saying a word. Anyway, no one cares about it now. When will he not rob him?

The door of the first pharmacy shop was smashed open. The 80-year-old mother, the shopkeeper, knelt on the ground and begged hard. The pillars of the house were captured, life and death were uncertain, and the medicinal materials in the shop were military. We snatched most of the time and begged the neighbors to set aside. Besides, medicine is not taken casually, and prescriptions are required to use the right medicine.

A woman in the crowd said loudly, "Yes, you can't take medicine indiscriminately, and the neighbors don't be impulsive. If you really take it, it won't be worth the loss."

Then another woman said, "According to me, let's go to the Chang'an Palace to ask for an explanation. The doctors were taken away by them and the medicine was robbed by them. They couldn't have their lives, but the lives of our people were not. Death."

"Yes, go to the Chang'an Palace and ask for an explanation!"

"Ah, I heard that the King of Chang'an is in the military camp, and the military camp is in Xianyang, and he is not in Xi'an."

"But the Princess Chang'an is in Xi'an, that bad woman was the one who killed the shopkeeper Ping Gu. Let's go and let's make a decision with her!"

A group of people walked towards the Chang'an Palace, and people kept shouting: "The lives of ordinary people are all their lives. Let the Chang'an Princess return the doctor to us!"

People in teahouses, taverns and shops heard the shouts and walked out to watch the fun. Then, more people joined the team, including men, women, children, and staggering elderly people.

There are more and more people in the team, and the people at the end of the street have just joined in, and the people who are walking in the front have reached the next intersection.

The long team surged forward, and finally, they arrived in front of the Chang'an Palace.

The doorman was shocked when he saw it. He only realized today that there were so many people in the city!

He ran in panic to report the news that the predecessor of the Chang'an Palace was the Qin Palace of the previous dynasty, which covers a huge area and has a deep courtyard.

Things at the door need to be transmitted to the Houzhai after many reports. Therefore, it was not He Shuting who heard the news first, but Wu Dongming.

Wu Dongming was shocked when he learned that many people were gathering outside the door and hurriedly asked the people around him to go out to inquire.

The matter was quickly cleared. It turned out that there was a temporary epidemic in the army, and Wu Ji ordered all the doctors in the city to be arrested. Not only did the doctors be arrested, but many people were arrested, and even Wen Po was arrested.

Wu Dongming's heart sank.

Wu Ji hasn't returned home for three days.

It turns out that there is a temporary epidemic in the army!

As a commander who once led troops, Wu Dongming knew very well the impact of the epidemic on an army and a city.

And summer is indeed the season for epidemics to occur.

The epidemic that time 28 years ago did not affect Yulin, but the number of casualties was so large that Wu Dongming, who was far away in Yulin, was also shocked.

Suddenly, Wu Dongming remembered something. He remembered that the end of the epidemic back then was because Jinghonglou contributed money and efforts!

Jinghong Tower!

Wu Dongming felt that he might know why these people came here. He ordered someone to call a manager from the mansion. This manager was a native of a native who was fifty years old.

Of course, the manager still remembers the epidemic twenty-eight years ago. As expected, the shopkeeper of Jinghonglou was Pinggu who was killed by He Shuting!

Wu Dongming's face was gloomy. He said to a guard: "Take more people and catch He's family. Who dares to stop him? Kill without mercy!"

"Princess, it's not good. The old prince's men have come in!"

The maid said "kill in" rather than "rush in", which means that the guards were already killing people.

Just now, when He Shuting learned that the people were rushing outside the palace to ask her for an explanation, she guessed that Wu Dongming would definitely push her out.

But she didn't expect that before she could make an appointment, Wu Dongming's people came to kill him.

"This old man is immortal!"

He Shuting cursed.

These days, she had thought about poisoning, but Wu Dongming was very vigilant. After they entered the mansion, they occupied a kitchen. The people in charge of the kitchen were people whom he could trust, and even there were people guarding him next to the well.

He Shuting tried several times by giving snacks and soup, but the food she sent could not even enter the courtyard gate. No matter Wu Dongming and his wife, or the people they brought from Yulin, they did not accept any food delivered from outside.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

But now, He Shuting has not poisoned Wu Dongming to death, but Wu Dongming has sent someone to kill her.

He Shuting gritted her teeth and asked the two maids to move a box cage away. There was also a box cage under the box cage, but there was a mechanism hidden in the box cage. Turning the mechanism, a secret passage appeared under the bed.

This secret passage was left by the prince who lived here in the previous dynasty. After He Shuting moved in, she found the terrain of the palace from the few things left that had been robbed and flewed by unknown amounts of time in the mansion. Only then did I realize that there was a secret passage in the yard where she lived.

Even Wu Ji didn't know about this.

He Shuting only brought four martial maids and quietly walked into the secret passage.

When the guards rushed in, the house was empty.

The guards guessed that there was a secret thought, but after searching inside and outside the courtyard, they found no clues, so they had to report to Wu Dongming in disappointment.

At this time, the feelings outside the mansion were even more and more people gathered.

Not only ordinary people, but also civilians.

"General, my subordinates will rush out and fight for a **** path!" said the captain of the guard.

Wu Dongming's face was as deep as water: "What if I've come out of a **** path?"

The guard captain was silent.

Yes, what about after they fight out?

Go find Wu Ji and ask Wu Ji to lead his troops back to the city to quell the rebellion?

They are all unarmed people, and their demands are just to ask the Princess Chang'an to give an explanation, why should the chaos be quelled?

Wu Dongming closed his eyes. Who would have thought that his whole life would end up in such a situation.

Wu Dongming opened his eyes and his eyes were firm.

"Go ahead, carry me out!"

Outside the palace, the people shouted in unison. At first, they shouted, "Let the Princess Chang'an come out and return it to our doctor!"

At some point, other sounds mixed in the shouting. Gradually, others shouted together, and finally shouted in unison!

"Give me a doctor, the lives of the people are all your life. Give me Jinghonglou and avenge the old shopkeeper Pinggu!"

Suddenly, the thick door slowly opened a crack, and then four big men walked out with their shoulders.

The shouts stopped, and there was silence around them, and everyone's eyes fell on the carriage, where an old man sat, and then the people began to talk.

"Who is this?"

"It is definitely not the King of Chang'an, the King of Chang'an is very young."

"I know who this is, this is General Wu!"

"How is it possible? I have met General Wu, who is majestic and majestic. How could it be this old man?"

"Yes, yes, General Wu is less than fifty years old, but this old man looks like he is already sixty or seventy years old."

The discussion reached Wu Dongming's ears, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time. Does he look so old?

He took a deep breath and signaled the guards to put their shoulders down. The guards were going to help him. He shook his head and struggled to stand up, but after a few attempts, he finally asked the guards to raise him up.

The people held their breath and looked at him in surprise, wondering what this old man who was already incompetent in his career wanted to do.

Facing the thousands of people, Wu Dongming said loudly: "In Wu Dongming, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Yulin Guard and the general of the Northwest."

Before he finished speaking, a scream erupted from the crowd.

"Oh my God, he is really General Wu!"

"General Wu Da has become disabled!"

Wu Dongming smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am old and useless. I am full of injuries. Now I even need others to help when I stand up. I'm sorry, I'll make my fellow villagers laugh."

In the crowd, a voice said loudly: "General Wu Da, you guard Yulin and resist the Tartars. Your contributions are to the country and to benefit the people!"

The voice came from a woman. If someone carefully identified it, he would hear that it was the one who took the lead in crying.

She is Wanqing, the daughter of Pinggu.

Jinghong Building closed down, and all the people in Jinghong Building disappeared, including Wanqing.

Everyone thought she had left this sad place with Xinggu and Taogu, but she didn't. She didn't go anywhere, she stayed in Xi'an.

Jinghong Tower has been there, and so have the people in Jinghong Tower. (End of this chapter)
