Chapter 320 The Plague Strikes (4)
Jingyi nodded, and said lazily: "Is it this late already? I didn't expect that I fell asleep so deeply."

Haitang came over with the clothes, helped Jingyi put them on, and helped her clean her face before gently pulling her hair in front of the dressing table. "Princess, this letter has been spread all over the city. It is said that Song Hao dispatched troops privately. After the incident was revealed, he actually committed suicide in fear of crime. Before he died, he personally killed his children and several close entourages. Another fire to the Song Mansion."

"The Song Mansion was burned?" Jingyi was a little surprised. Last night, she only noticed the life and death of Song Hao and the others, and didn't go out to take a closer look. If the whole mansion was burned, the fire should be extremely large. In the Wang Mansion You can also see the fire inside!

"Go back to the princess. It is said that a fire was set, but the fire was not big. The people sent by the prince put it out. Only the courtyard of the study was burned, and the rest is fine."

Only then did Jingyi breathe a sigh of relief, "So that's the case." Jingyi knew in her heart that Yuanxi was probably worried that some of Song Hao's confidential things were hidden in the study room, and it must be his people who searched everywhere, in order not to leave any traces, Then set a fire.

Jingyi had just tied her hair, and before she had time to put on the headgear, she saw Mother He lifted the curtain outside and came in and said, "Princess Qi, Master Qingtian and the guard Ah Bu are waiting for you in the front hall. They said they have something important to do." talk over."

"Understood, I'll go right now."

Haitang chose a few simple but noble jewelry for Jingyi to put on and said: "Princess, you haven't had breakfast yet. Go there after breakfast, otherwise the prince will find out, and he will inevitably reprimand the servants. "

Hearing what Haitang said, Jingyi also felt a little hungry. "Then let's have breakfast first. By the way, the prince went out early in the morning, but didn't use breakfast?"

"Back to Wangfei, before the prince went out, he had a bowl of porridge." Haitang laughed.

Only then did Jingyi nod her head, and after having breakfast outside, she hurried to the front hall.

"Brother Qingtian, what do you need from me?" Jingyi asked as soon as she entered the hall.

"Yiyi, do you know the Yanji people?" Qing Tian asked directly.

Jingyi nodded, then looked at Abu who was at the side, "Isn't Abu just a fluke? Why did Brother Qingtian remember to ask this?"

"Five miles to the north along Huayang Mountain, there is a village named Yangcun on the mountainside there. The villagers are all lucky people. Ah Bu got news that the village was infected with the plague."

"Plague?" Jingyi was taken aback, "Huayang Mountain is fifty miles north, and there are no refugees there. How could there be a sudden plague?"

"Yiyi, you settled the refugees here in the closed city very well. I know that you ordered people to boil a large amount of plague prevention medicine every day and spray them in places where the refugees are concentrated. It is winter now, and the plague is not easy to occur. Then In addition, if you have settled properly, nothing will happen. But Yangcun is different. It is a gathering place for the poor people. On weekdays, the government does not deal with them. And there is only one doctor in Yangcun. .The villagers in Yang Village are also very closed and do not interact with outsiders. Yiyi, I want to go to Yang Village to have a look.”

"No! Brother Qingtian, how could there be a plague for no reason in winter?"

"That's why I'm also puzzled. But the news Ah Bu received was like this. I thought about going over to have a look first."

Jingyi frowned when she heard the words, looked at Abu who was beside her and said, "Abu, where did you get the news from? Is it reliable?"

Ah Bu took a step forward and said: "Returning to the princess, the slave told me about it yesterday evening from a clerk in a medicine shop in the closed city. He is also a fluke. I was thinking of asking for leave from the shopkeeper of the medicine shop and going back to the village to see Take a look."

"Brother Qingtian, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange! I'm afraid it's not that simple. No, please tell us the general situation of Yang Village first."

"Back to Wangfei, the entire village of Yangcun is populated by Yanji people. Lizheng in the village is the patriarch of our Yanji people. Yangcun is the largest village of our Yanji people in the closed city. The village is about There are more than 3000 households with more than [-] people. In order to protect ourselves, we Yanji people often live in the mountains and rarely come out to contact the outside world."

Jingyi nodded, she knew about Yan Xunren.Because of their short stature, Yanji people are usually called "short people" or "short people" by the outside world.The imperial court often collects tribute from them to serve as slaves or pear garden clowns, and their status in this world is extremely low.All of this has resulted in the extreme self-enclosedness of Yanji people, who don't like to be disturbed by outsiders.If we go there on a sunny day, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

"Brother Qingtian, Yanji people don't like ordinary people like us. If you go, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed by them."

"I have already thought about this. It's just that I am a doctor. How can I only care about my own comfort and ignore the diseases of the people? Yiyi, I came to you, and I just wanted you to help me prepare some medicines that I need now. I have some standing herbs, and others, when I have news from my side, I will let someone tell you." Then, he handed a list with the names of the herbs to Jingyi.

Jingyi took it over and thought about it, but still shook her head, "It's still not right." She paced back and forth in the hall and said, "Let's see. You are now appointed by Yuanxi as the censor of the closed city. Bring a guard. I will go to Yue Shizi and ask him to pick some skilled and capable ones for you. First, it is for your safety. Second, if there is a plague in Yangcun, they can also Help."

Qing Tian nodded, "It's so good. I'll go back and prepare, Ah won't go with me. You can find Yue Shizi to arrange it."

Jingyi nodded, "You must be more careful when you go here. Brother Qingtian, if you arrive at Yang Village and the villagers there insist on not allowing you to enter the village, you should bear with it first and don't force your way in, otherwise you will be worse than Plague is worse! Then we'll be in trouble."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'm sensible. Besides, with Ah Bu and the pharmacy guy around, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Jingyi looked at Abu and said, "Abu, you have to protect Brother Qingtian and don't let anything happen to him!"

"Yes! Don't worry, Wangfei, the servant will definitely protect the safety of Lord Censor."

Seeing that Jingyi cared so much about his safety on a sunny day, her heart warmed. After all, she was his little junior sister. Even if she was married, she still had her own place in her heart!His heart suddenly felt bright, as long as Yiyi cares about him, it doesn't matter whether she treats him as a friend, brother or anyone else!That's great!It is very happy to see her often, to drink the tea made by her, and to play games with her from time to time!
Sunshine took Ah Bu back to prepare.Jing Yi turned her head to Si Hua, and said, "Go quickly and find a way to find Yue Shizi and the prince, and just say that I have something urgent to ask them to come back. Oh, by the way, I still need to find that Xia He!"
