Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 118 Cataclysm
Overall, although there are a lot of trivial matters today, it is still much better than yesterday's "thrills".

If the problem of relief food hadn't been resolved yesterday, it would definitely be extremely sad today.

Just the problem of feeding the disaster victims is enough to cause headaches.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were busy until dark before going home.

After returning home, I took a shower, washed myself, filled my stomach briefly, and then went to bed early.

Night enveloped the entire Jiangzhou City.

Because of the rain, the sky was dark without any stars.

Jiangzhou government office.

The back house of the Yamen.

Boom boom boom!
As soon as the governor got into the warm bed of his concubine, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Fang Tang asked, his tone a little dissatisfied.

"My Lord Governor, I am a young man. I have something urgent to report to you."

Fang Tang frowned. If someone had disturbed him at this time in the past, Fang Tang would have said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

But now the situation is delicate, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Fangtang didn't dare to be careless, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Governor, the Chief Governor, and the Sima Master came to visit together and said they had important matters to discuss."

"Oh?" Fang Tang immediately lifted the quilt, turned over and wanted to get out of bed, and ordered: "Please go to the study room and wait for a while. I will be there soon."

The man outside the door said "yes" and walked away.

However, just as Fang Tang was about to get out of bed, the concubine in the bed hugged his waist and cooed: "Sir...where are you going? Stay with me..."

This concubine is a bone-scratching fairy. When she opens her mouth, her bones will become crispy.

However, Fangtang can still distinguish priorities. Now, meeting Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian is obviously more important.

Therefore, Fangtang pulled away his concubine's hand and said while putting on his clothes: "I have important matters to deal with. You have to wait for me to come back."

Unexpectedly, the concubine didn't know what was wrong, and wrapped her hands around her again, preventing Fang Tang from dressing.

In a voice that was so charming that it could drive people crazy, he said: "Sir... I don't want you... My lord, please stay with me..."

Fang Tang secretly took a breath of air, raised his hand, pushed the concubine away, and yelled: "Get out of here!"

The concubine was so frightened that she just froze on the couch, not daring to move.

Fang Tang suddenly became angry, but it really frightened her.

Fang Tang was too lazy to pay attention to the concubine, dressed up in a hurry, opened the door and left.

study.

The three of them greeted each other and took their seats respectively.

"I wonder why Mr. Hua and Mr. Wan came together late at night?" Fang Tang asked.

"Lord Governor, the situation is urgent now, so I will keep my story short. Please don't blame me." Hua Chaoshi handed over his hand.

"Master Hua, but it's okay to say." Fang Tang waved.

Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian looked at each other, then looked at Fang Tang and said, "Master Governor, the people sent outside the city by the lower officials have returned." Fang Tang paused and asked hurriedly: "Oh , what is the situation?"

Hua Chaoshi: "Lord Governor, the situation is very serious. We need to make arrangements immediately. If it's too late, I'm afraid..."

"Hiss..." Fang Tang took a deep breath and asked, "What is the specific situation?"

Hua Chaoshi: "Lord Inspector, according to reports from the subordinate officials, signs of plague have appeared in remote villages outside the city. In some villages, the entire village is infected with the disease, coughing continuously, and most of the villagers are already bedridden!"

After hearing this, Fang Tang stood up from his chair, frowned and thought for a long time, "Have you found out what the plague is?"

Hua Chaoshi coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Master Governor, the people who are lowered to official positions are not doctors. In addition, they cannot be in close contact with people infected with the plague, so..."

"I know, but after a major disaster there will be a major epidemic. This is certain. But... our disaster is not over yet?" Fangtang seemed to be talking to himself.

Hua Chaoshi: "Lord Governor, before this heavy rainstorm, Jiangzhou had a continuous light rain for several days. I am afraid that the plague started after that light rain."

"Well, it should be."

Fang Tang sat down on the chair again, glanced at Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian in turn, and said: "A few days ago, we discussed how to deal with it. Now it seems that we need to discuss it again."

Wan Qian suddenly jumped out and cupped his hands and said: "Master Governor, Master Changshi, I think we can start to select a place and prepare sufficient food and water sources to isolate the outside world to deal with the danger of this plague."

Seeing Wan Qian say this, Hua Chaoshi said nothing, glanced at Wan Qian, and then looked at Fangtang.

Fang Tang looked a little unnatural, stared at Wan Qian, frowned and said: "Master Wan, do you want me to abandon the people of this state and four counties?"

Wan Qian was horrified and quickly stood up from his chair, bowing and saying: "I don't dare, I have no such intention, I have no intention of doing this. I..."

Seeing this situation, Hua Chao Shi immediately took over Wan Qian's words: "Master Governor, I want to come here, but Master Sima probably has no intention of doing so. It's just that the person who is responsible for disaster prevention and relief now is Dong Cheng, the military recorder... "

"Yes, Dong Cheng is in charge of all disaster relief matters now, but how can I only care about my own safety and ignore the people in one state and four counties?" Fang Tang sighed.

Wan Qian was stunned.

Why...why did the Governor suddenly say this?

This is getting too fast.

It seemed as if the Fangtang who looked so gloomy in the back hall of the Yamen a few days ago was not this person.

"Lord Governor, this is a natural disaster and plague, which cannot be changed by human power. I know that you are concerned about the safety of the people, but... in the face of a great epidemic after a great disaster, manpower is sometimes scarce!"

Hua Chaoshi said.

"Yes, Mr. Hua is right. How can manpower resist the power of natural disasters..." Fang Tang thought, seeming to be looking for an excuse and reason for himself.

At this moment, Hua Chaoshi's expression suddenly became serious.

He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Master Governor, in that house yesterday... the palace steward obviously knew everything about us."

Fang Tang frowned fiercely and raised his eyes to look at him.

"Lord Governor, even if the palace steward did not expose you and me yesterday, I think it was probably because King Poyang sent troops away and natural disasters came. After the natural disaster passes and King Poyang returns with his troops, the Poyang Palace will definitely They're going to attack me!"

Hua Chaoshi's face was solemn and his voice was cold and stern.

Wan Qian was frightened and opened his mouth wide, but he did not dare to make any sound.

With only a pair of small eyes embedded in a round face, his gaze swept back and forth on Fang Tang and Hua Chaoshi.

Fang Tang's brows furrowed into a "chuan" shape, but he did not speak and only stared at Hua Chaoshi.
