The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 280 You Are Murderers

When Lu Wanlan saw the black-clothed dead men in front of him, their faces were covered, they all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Other boys were pouring white wine and burning mugwort leaves near the camp, and the air was filled with the choking smell of spirits and herbs.

The boy Lianrou who was just captured has been taken to another camp and kept under strict surveillance.The open space where they camped was also surrounded by dead men, so they couldn't see what was going on in the direction of the col.

A trace of uneasiness enveloped her heart: "Where is the prince? What happened?"

The dead man in front of him told the truth: "Back to the princess, most of the patients with the big head plague were found in the mountain depression, most of them were dead. The prince ordered to rescue those who had a chance to live and place them properly, and burned and buried the rest. The prince was worried that the princess and several Lu Gongzi Infected, the special villain is here to protect you every step of the way!"

"Are those people infected with the big head plague?" Knowing that it was this kind of disease, Lu Wanlan was suddenly a little confused.

Datou plague appeared in Jiangzhou Mansion, Chief Secretary of Shanxi Province a few years ago. It is said that it is not serious, and there is a secret prescription for treating this disease.Therefore, in her memory, this epidemic is not something to fear at all.

However, in the biography of the third brother Fei Ge, it is described as terrifying like a flood.

She didn't understand at first.

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi's attitude, it is obvious that this kind of epidemic is by no means an ordinary infectious disease, it must be an extremely contagious plague with a high mortality rate.

You must know that in ancient times when medical conditions were backward, the most terrifying thing was not war, natural disasters, or famine, but plague!

People who contracted infectious diseases, if they were in their own era, would be quarantined immediately and receive symptomatic treatment and care until they recover; while in ancient times they would also be quarantined, but most of them could not be saved and had to wait for death or be tortured. Burn alive.In order to prevent the spread of the plague, all animals in the village where the plague occurred, even if they were not infected, could not escape the fate of being reduced to ashes.

Thinking that the secret recipe was mostly fabricated, the counties under the Jiangzhou prefecture should be doomed.

She only hated that she didn't know anything about medicine in her previous life, so she couldn't help her at this time.

Thinking that he was safe now, but Xiao Yanzhi was in danger, he became even more anxious: "What about the prince?"

"My lord is taking Big Brother Tang and Chi Zheng to save people."

"What?!" Hearing this, Lu Wanlan didn't have time to think about it, she just wanted to break through the wall to find Xiao Yanzhi.

But they heard a few curses coming from the other side of the camp, and the four children rushed out and stood in the open space in front of them in the blink of an eye, their faces were mottled with oil paint washed by tears:
"We are asking you to save people! We are not asking you to kill people! The dog thieves of the imperial court will die!"

Lu Wanlan, who was stared at by four pairs of eyes full of resentment, suddenly sank in his heart: "Murder?"

Could it be that Xiao Yanzhi wants to also...

This is impossible!

Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of ceramic shattering.

The four children immediately shouted "Third Aunt! Seventh Uncle!" and ran towards the col.

The guards of the royal residence followed closely behind, waving their chains: "Stop them!"

However, before the children ran to the vicinity of the mountain depression, Xiao Yanzhi had already confirmed that there were no living patients. He was well aware of the horror of this plague, and these corpses would become a more dangerous source of the epidemic, so he immediately ordered them to be burned.

The dead man threw spirits and vegetable oil into the col, and after his prince gave the order to "ignite the fire", he also threw down the flaming torch.

"don't want--"

The four children tried their best to stop them, but the dead soldiers behind them grabbed their joints and pressed them to the ground. They couldn't move, and could only watch the flames rising into the sky in the mountain depression.

Unable to restrain his grief any longer, he began to cry heart-rendingly: "Seventh Uncle! Woooooo~~~"

Chi Zheng, who was ordered to place the patient, passed by, instead of comforting him, he asked coldly, "Some sick corpses are burnt, so what's there to cry about?"

"What are you talking about!!" The leading boy suddenly stopped crying, his face was covered with oil paint, but his eyes showed anger, and he waved his fist at the female devil in front of him, "Seventh Uncle and the others are still alive! Why do you Burn them! You are murderers!"

Chi Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he only raised his finger to point to the open space in front of him: "Anyone who is still alive has been lifted out, you go over there and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he yelled at the man on the stove: "Fire, make porridge!"

"Yes--"

The guys took orders, and immediately chopped firewood to boil water, washed rice and cooked porridge, and they were already busy in no time.

A few children hurriedly followed, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they suddenly realized.

It turned out that when he was questioned by Princess Yan, the Lu family had already set up a few simple huts and new stoves, and sent the patients in the mountain depression here for treatment.

And my third aunt, seventh uncle, and other brothers and sisters were among them.

The leading boy was like a deflated ball, no longer angry.But clutching a stolen prescription, he didn't know what to do.

He raised his head and saw Xiao Yanzhi walking in Zhenpao, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "See His Highness King Yan."

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi nod his head slightly, indicating that they should ignore him, he wiped tears around his relatives again.

But the ears of the few people were always erect, listening to the conversations of the people behind them all the time.

Xiao Yanzhi frowned and inspected the circle and called Tang Feng:

"Reply to Lu Yunli, telling him that a patient with Datouwen has been found in the southern suburbs of the city, but there is no cure and he can only wait for death. Ask him the prescription for treating Datouwen. If he can send someone out of the city, he will send some medicine over."

He was a little puzzled, although Lu Yunli's letter mentioned that Datouwen's condition was dangerous, but since it was said that the imperial physician Lu Yungui sent out the prescription, why didn't he send it together?

What surprised him even more was that no official in the entire capital discovered the epidemic in the south of the city, and no one even reported the infection of the concubines in the palace.

If it is said that there is no black hand behind this, he will not believe it.

But this kind of big-headed plague is not as easy to extinguish as the Shanxi chief envoy said two years ago. In order to achieve the goal, the people behind it are not afraid of getting burned?
While Xiao Yan was thinking about it, Tang Feng had ordered someone to reply to Lu Yunli's letter, and then reported the latest news brought back by the spies.

It turned out that after receiving Lu Yunli's secret letter, He Xixian, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, immediately led people to issue official notices from door to door.

But the whole capital city, from the officials to the merchants and merchants, felt that the big head plague was a minor disease and a minor disaster, which had long been deeply ingrained.Not only did he turn a deaf ear to He Xixian's instructions, but his travel was the same as usual, and even the anti-epidemic items issued by the yamen were thrown away at will.

Merchants and ordinary people are still able to forcibly suppress them, but high-ranking and wealthy households refuse to mend their ways despite repeated admonitions.He couldn't escort people to the yamen, seeing all the well-dressed sons and brothers drinking together, they were so angry that their catfish whiskers flew into the sky, so he could only stamp his feet.

But Duan Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is not much better.

When he saw Lu Yunli delivering the official seal, he knew that the matter was of great importance.Although the source of the epidemic is within the palace, it is far away from the east gate of the city where the holy car is located, so it will not threaten the safety of the holy majesty and the queen mother.However, there are still princes and concubines in the palace, and countless palace people are raised by their parents. Even if the Chinese army of the Shenji Battalion guarding the four gates of the palace is forged with iron, they may not be able to withstand the ravages of the epidemic.

He thought about leading all the officials to go outside the city to prevent the holy car from returning to Luan, and then asked the holy man to issue an order to appoint one person to take charge of the overall situation, and send more staff from the Imperial Hospital to the palace to drive out the epidemic.

But Duan Lin, who had been shut down many times, learned that Taifu Xie Bi had invited several prestigious officials to his residence before him. Although he had no choice but to swear in the street, he still swallowed his anger and went to Xie's residence to meet him.

"They are also too optimistic." Xiao Yanzhi received the letter and said coldly, "When I left Shanxi Chief Secretary, several villages in Jiangzhou Prefecture were already infected with diseases, and countless people couldn't afford to close their doors. They concealed that there was no one in a hundred dead, and they really believed it?"

Tang Feng nodded and asked again: "Then shall we still go to Beijing?"

This was also what Xiao Yanzhi was thinking about.

Having seen the news of Lu Yunli earlier, he felt that the epidemic would not be safe when the capital appeared. He originally wanted to take Lu Wanlan to the suburbs to avoid it, and return to Beijing when the situation is under control.But now the situation here is obviously more severe than that in the capital, and there is a lack of medical care and food, and the food will not last long.

From this point of view, it is better to go to Beijing earlier.

"You send someone to pack the princess' luggage and send her back to Dingguo Mansion first. Lu Yunce is there and should be able to take good care of her."

After Xiao Yanzhi finished speaking, he turned around, only to see Lu Wanlan was already covered with a veil, standing outside the thatched shed.

Holding a little boy who was trying to escape in his hand, he said angrily:
"Boy! Didn't you agree, we saved your family, you have a big thank you?! What? Want to run now?"
