Conspiracy

Chapter 346 Su Zhen Persuades County Magistrate Tao

The culprit, Su Zhen, was not at all embarrassed. After waiting for a long time, she still couldn't see Gu Yun's calm expression breaking down. She couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips boredly, untied the reins and jumped onto the horse.

Shang Yuchen didn't feel any discomfort in his body, but felt the fragrance of medicinal herbs spreading in his mouth.Putting on the mask again, she nodded at Su Zhen without a trace, and the latter smiled back.

Mo Chen and Yuzhu walked out from the inside, also untied the reins, and sat firmly on the saddle while stepping on the stirrups.

When Su Zhen passed by Gu Yunshu on horseback, the latter looked at Tao Yongji, "Magistrate Tao, this is Su Zhen, the Shaoqing of the Siwei Mansion, please arrange a place for them later."

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the next official will be arranged immediately."

"Ok!"

Tao Yongji looked deeply at Su Zhen, and when he noticed the half-smile in her eyes, he just calmly looked away.

Liting Town is not big, and all the people who were diagnosed with the plague by doctors have already been quarantined.Therefore, most of the town is still in the safe area.

Although it was late, if they rested for an hour longer, more people would be infected with the plague, or directly die from it.

Shang Yuchen said, "People are afraid of death because of instinct. Although many people have been quarantined by the government, there was no good medicine before. Even if the people feel unwell, they will not say it. Master Tao, you immediately send someone to go door-to-door Inform, anyone who feels unwell must inform the yamen immediately, and must not hide it."

"This"

"What? What's wrong? Or is there any difficulty?"

Tao Yongji wondered, "His Royal Highness, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling. However, many people died because of the flood before, and now there are less than [-] people alive in the town. As His Highness said, we haven't found the plague yet." The source, or refine the antidote, and let the common people come out rashly, I'm afraid they won't!"

Tang Yinchen, who was among the officers and soldiers, 'spit' in his heart, this old traitor county magistrate!Looking at his appearance, he is only a round older than him. To put it bluntly, he is just afraid of death!

"Counsel! You dare not go to Lao Tzu!"

Yang Huanzhi didn't expect Tang Yinchen to be so impulsive. The two of them were in charge of guarding the carriage with the boxes of medicinal materials, their heads were lowered, and no one else could recognize it.Fortunately, he couldn't hold back to speak out in public, and all the hard work in hiding was in vain.

However, Shang Yuchen and the others did not show any surprise at all, as if they had known about their existence for a long time.

But it was true, it was just that they had been marching for three days before they realized it.

Obviously they caused a lot of stumbling blocks, but they became more and more frustrated and refused to leave.It wasn't until two days ago that Shang Yuchen and the others couldn't drive them away, so they gave up and simply put them under their noses.

Looking at their reactions, Yang Huanzhi guessed that the prince and others should have known about their existence.So he stopped hiding and dragged Tang Yinchen from the carriage.

When they came close, they bent down and bowed together.

"See His Royal Highness."

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Shang Yuchen waved his hand, "The two young masters hid all the way and suffered a lot. You don't need to intervene in the plague. When the antidote for the plague is developed, I will send someone to send you back."

"No, His Royal Highness, we are here to save people! We have already arrived in Jiangdu, and I am not reconciled to leaving like this! You might as well count on us if you count on them!"

As soon as Tang Yinchen said this, Tao Yongji and the others all changed their expressions.

Yang Huanzhi did not make a sound to stop it. Although Tang Yinchen's words were harsh and unpleasant, they also expressed his heartfelt feelings.

Su Zhen supported her forehead to hide her helplessness.The two of them traveled thousands of miles to Jiangdu.In addition to adhering to a heart of wanting to save people, it was also influenced by Yu Ziye's running away from home.But they didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the court, so they came to Jiangdu.

It's a pity that if you are too enthusiastic, you will easily do bad things.

Even if they are brave and fearless, if the yamen in Liting Town is unwilling to cooperate and they are not very familiar with this place, they will have to rely on Tao Yongji and the yamen who they look down on.

She yawned, her tone was lax, "Magistrate Tao, the imperial court is supporting you, not to make you hesitate, and eventually cause the people to die. Your soft heart at this time caused the plague to spread again. These more than a thousand articles Can you bear the responsibility of human life?

Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Liting Town, he had already sent people to the towns to inform the government offices in various places to find out all the people who were obviously infected but kept secrets.If all the people are healed by then, only Liting Town will suffer heavy casualties, and the crimes you bear will only increase. "

Tang Yinchen was very puzzled why Su Zhen wanted to give in to Tao Yongji, and when he was about to speak, Su Zhen's sharp eyes swept over him, signaling him to shut up.

Tao Yongji lowered his eyes in thought, and bowed solemnly, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to find out all the villagers infected with the plague, so as to prevent the spread of the plague. Your Royal Highness, I hope you and your lords can develop an antidote as soon as possible."

"Well, you can take someone there right now, and let the master next to you lead us the way."

Tao Yongji wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but finally fell silent again, "Yes!"

Tao Yongji gave a few more instructions to Master Sun, indicating that he must not neglect the prince and others, and then took the officers, soldiers and government officials to the various villages in Liting Town.

Watching them leave, Master Sun said, "His Royal Highness, all the people infected with the plague have been locked up in Nanzhuang Village."

"how many people?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness, there are nine hundred people."

Mr. Sun was an unattractive man with a slightly bloated figure. He was wearing a white gray cloth shirt and held a brown folding fan in his left hand.

"Nine hundred?!" Tang Yinchen's tone suddenly increased, "Didn't you say that there were only two hundred? Did you lose your mind! How dare you hide it!"

The people in Liting Town were not the only ones waiting for the medicinal materials to save their lives. After entering Jiangdu, all the medicinal materials would be distributed according to their original plan.

"Young master! You can't talk nonsense! When it was reported to the court earlier, there were really only two hundred people, but the plague spread too fast! Before entering the city, you also saw thick smoke rising from everywhere in the town, people died In order to prevent the spread of the plague, our county magistrate burned all the corpses early in accordance with the imperial court's order."

Master Sun also knew that his explanation was weak and weak, but in this matter, he had absolutely no possibility of lying and concealing, so he had to tell the truth.

"Okay, Master Sun, lead the way." Gu Yunshu said.

"Yes!" Master Sun held his fan tremblingly and bowed his hands, pointing to the southeast, "His Royal Highness, my lords, Nanzhuang Village is over there, please follow me."
