After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1116: Drag him out and cripple him.
“That makes sense.” Qin Xiaomi nodded, then looked at them and said, “Everyone, please continue.”

Master Xun said, "But there are indeed many strange diseases in the world that originate in animals and then infect humans... For example, sheep plague and chicken plague can also infect people through contact, but the infectivity is not great. However, the letter sent by Deputy General Lang said that this rat plague has a very high probability of infecting humans in large numbers."

Deputy General Lang really helped Jiang Dalang. It was Jiang Dalang who said that the disease was spreading, but Deputy General Lang knew that he was just a minor officer and that he would be arrested for saying such unsettling things. So he took the risk himself.

"Historical records do indeed document that plagues can spread to large numbers of people and cause great deaths. For example, during the Dayong period, a sudden typhoid epidemic occurred, killing more than 100,000 people and leaving nine out of ten houses in a city empty."

"The reason why only 100,000 people died was because the city was sealed off and burned, cutting off the spread of the disease."

The so-called "pathogenic qi" refers to germs floating in the air.

"Hahaha!" Qin Xiaomi couldn't help but laugh again, raising her hand and pointing upwards with her middle finger.

Grandma Qin quickly said, "We're talking about serious matters, don't make funny faces."

Girl, be normal. Don't do weird things and scare Grandma. Grandma will be scared.

"Okay." Qin Xiaomi obediently sat up straight and pretended to be well-behaved: "Old Xun, continue."

Old Xun pondered for a while and said, "The Eastern Desert has sent spies to infiltrate our Wei territory for a hundred years. They have also carried out a change of race and customs in the mountains. Their intention to destroy our Great Wei is extremely cruel. If they really raise rats to spread the plague, this plague is probably more severe than typhoid fever... Let alone 100,000, even if a million die, this plague will not be able to be stopped."

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Old Xun is right. The people of Dongmo are here to wipe out our Great Wei, so they won't be polite to us."

and so……

She looked at the soldiers at the front gate of the shop and said, "My suggestion is to treat this suspected plague as a real plague and take immediate action to exterminate rats, kill fleas and lice, fumigate the house with medicine, and strictly inspect people and goods entering the Northeast Prefecture. If necessary, we can even cut off the passage into the Northeast Prefecture, especially people and goods coming from Tianmang Prefecture, which is close to Dongmo and is the easiest place for infected things to sneak in."

"Medicinal herbs were sought from all over the country, and every household began to prepare for the battle and prevent the epidemic."

It's easy to say a sentence, but...

The clerk said, "It's probably not feasible for every household to exterminate rats and carry out disease prevention... There are also medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs have always been expensive. Many farmers can't afford them. Now, there are no patients, yet we are using large quantities of medicinal herbs to fumigate houses. Our Great Wei doesn't have the national strength for that."

Qin Xiaomi laughed: "If we can't even do this, then we might as well wait to die."

This?
"Guan Annong, you're over thirty years old, and you still can't speak properly." Old Madam Guan scolded Clerk Guan, then softened her voice and asked Qin Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, can this rat extermination and flea and lice eradication really prevent rat plague? Is this rat plague transmitted to humans by rats, lice, and fleas?"

"Look, Grandma Guan is so clever, she got right to the point," Qin Xiaomi praised Grandma Guan.

Madam Guan said, "Then tell us about the cause and effect of this infection, and what medicine can be used to prevent this rat plague?"

"Yes, yes, boss, hurry up and tell us. Poor kid, poor kid, hurry up and get your notebook and write it down!" Old Xun urged Old Qiong, and took out his own paper and pen to take notes.

Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, Qin Xiaogu, Xiaomai Xiaozhu, Jiang Erlang, and even the clerk Guan all took out paper and pen, ready to make notes.

Qin Xiaomi: "...You really trust me that much? No, you can't trust me like this! Aren't you just trying to rely on me to solve everything instead of putting in any effort yourself? Are you going to pay me?!"

Uncle Qin: "What time is it? Why are you still arguing about who put in the effort and who benefited?"

Inner monologue: That brat is so perceptive.

“Nephew, this needs to be investigated thoroughly. There’s no reason for anyone to work for nothing.” Madam Guan then said to Qin Xiaomi, “Xiaomi, speak properly, and Grandma Guan will calculate your reward… Regardless of whether it works or not, as long as you speak, Grandma Guan will give you one-tenth of her dowry; if a plague breaks out and your method works against it, half of Grandma Guan’s dowry and connections will be given to you!”

Old Qiong also said, "I still have some private property. I can promise that if it's useless, I'll give you 10% of my private property; if it's useful, I'll give you all of it." Uncle Qin laughed, "Look at all this reward! Hurry up and tell me."

Qin Xiaomi, however, was not interested... If it really was the plague, no matter how much money she had, she wouldn't live to spend it.

"Alright, let's not talk about the reward yet. Let's talk about how to prevent the rat plague. I'll dictate it to you, and you can write it down."

"Okay, go ahead."

A group of people spent an entire night in front of the Qin family's shop recording a series of key matters, such as how to exterminate rats, fleas, and lice, and how to prevent rat plague.

After recording the information, Clerk Guan said, "My dear niece, with your methods and prescriptions, we can successfully eradicate the epidemic."

That's utter nonsense.

Having come from the modern era and knowing how terrible the plague was, Qin Xiaomi looked at the hopeful faces and could only smile: "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

If you still die after trying your best, then it's your fate.

"Oh, and remember to prepare extra vehicles in case of desertion," Qin Xiaomi reminded her.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened, especially Old Madam Guan and Clerk Guan... Sister Shu was still pregnant. If a rat plague broke out, or if they had to flee the war, how would she survive?!

However, as Xiaomi said, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

"Okay, we'll make the arrangements."

"However, this matter is of great importance. In order to reassure the people and prevent any unrest, everyone must keep today's events strictly confidential and not divulge a single word."

"To announce? When to announce? This is a matter for the government, not something we can say." Clerk Guan instructed, specifically pointing out Qin Xiaomai and Jiang Xiaozhu, the two youngest members of the group.

The two men, who had just woken up, nodded after hearing this: "Uncle Guan, don't worry. We've escaped famine and fought against the bad guys who massacred our village. We know what's important."

"Good, good boy." Clerk Guan praised, but felt uneasy. He even wondered if there was something special about his father-in-law's ancestral graves.
These children have suffered so much. At such a young age, they are either fleeing famine, encountering war, or plague.

"You've all stayed up all night, young and old, go back and catch up on your sleep. Leave the rest to us, the official guards," said the clerk.

Qin Xiaomi didn't want to sleep; all she wanted to do was think, "Uncle, County Commandant Zhong, Elder Qiong, the letter from the mountains has proven that the Second Chieftain and Liuge'er are descendants of spies. So what are we waiting for? Let's drag them out and cripple them!"

Aren't you angry that the people of the Eastern Desert have caused so much trouble? Don't you want to beat their descendants to death?

Of course they wanted to, especially Commander Zhong. He said, "The spies are vicious and have devoted themselves to destroying our Great Wei. Even if we can't kill them, we should at least cripple them to avenge the suffering of the mountain people!"

"Okay, let's go find Liuge'er right now!" Qin Xiaomi was furious and couldn't wait a moment longer, so she took the lead in opening the front door of the shop.

Zhong Baihu, Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, and Xiaozhu Xiaomai came to help her.

“…” Guan, the clerk, hurriedly said, “Niece, don’t do it yourself. Just watch and let County Commandant Zhong do it!”

"I understand, Uncle, don't worry." After Qin Xiaomi and the others opened the door, they called to the whole family, and the group headed towards the room where Liu Ge'er and the others were being held.

His fierce and menacing demeanor early in the morning terrified the patrolling soldiers, the students of the local martial arts academy, and the young men from the Lü, Miao, and Wu families, who all followed him.
