Chapter 119 Someone Deliberately Besieged the Luo Family
Especially since there are many sick people inside. If they are really locked up in there, they will probably be infected within two days!
no!
"I want to see the county magistrate!" Liang He made up his mind. No matter what he said, he would not compromise this time. He said in a deep voice, "I am going to the city gate this time in accordance with the emperor's order. If there is any delay, will you be responsible, or will the county magistrate be responsible?"
The soldier looked hesitant.
Liang He continued to persuade her.
The words he said during this period of time probably added up to more than he had said in his entire life.
"Captain Liang, this is truly beyond my power," the leading soldier sighed. "How about this? You all return to the inn first, and I'll report this to you, sir, and ask for your advice."
Liang He nodded, "I hope you can be more accommodating."
Watching the man gradually leave, Liang He turned around and was about to go back to the inn. When he turned his head, he saw Doctor Hua not far away.
His eyes lit up and he immediately greeted and called the person over.
Zhu Mingqing also came out of the inn at this time, followed by Luo Huai.
She called softly, then held out a mask: "Just in case, you should wear it, sir."
Liang He took it. It had a piece of white cloth in the middle and two ropes on both sides. He took a look at the way it was worn on Zhu Mingqing's face, thought about it, and put it away.
How can a real man wear a mask?
Zhu Mingqing: ???
Liang He coughed lightly and turned to look for Doctor Hua, only to see that the other party suddenly took out an identical mask from his hand and put it on his face.
Liang He: ...
His eyes wandered left and right, and even Luo Huai armed himself very quickly.
Several people stared at him.
Liang He lowered his head, took out a mask, and put it on silently.
Across the soldiers, Old Man Hua quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Liang He.
Written on it are the symptoms of Chen Nong's family and the corresponding prescriptions.
He said, "I remember there's a young lady with Zhu Yatou who knows medicine. You can check the conditions of the common people. If they are the same as what I described, you can use this prescription to cure them."
Liang He's face was full of joy: "Doctor Hua, you came just in time."
Old Man Hua waved his hand and said, "You guys go take a look first. I'll wait here. If you have any questions, tell me immediately."
The people living in the north of the city are all lower-class people, and there are also some low-ranking people. Once something happens, there is no one to stand up for themselves, and the government has the final say.
The only ones we can count on now are people like Lord Liang.
As for the magistrate of Le County, he had learned about his character from Chen Nong and had no hope for him.
Next, Liang He took a few of his men, as well as Zhu Mingqing and Fen Tao, to the residences of ordinary people.
Walking along the street, there were some beggars lying on the roadside and the doors of every house were closed.
The beggars had the most serious symptoms, they were emaciated and unconscious.
Fen Tao went up to check them one by one.
Zhu Mingqing also looked around and suddenly saw an old man sticking his head out of the door not far away and looking over here.
She stood up and went over to ask, and before the other party closed the door, she immediately said, "Don't be afraid, old man. We just want to know if many people were sick here yesterday."
Perhaps because he saw the official uniforms of Liang He and the others, the old man stopped avoiding them, but his expression was reserved: "Not... much."
"Have the authorities sent a doctor to check?"
The old man shook his head. Zhu Mingqing wanted to ask something else, but the old man seemed to have seen something terrible, his face showed panic, and the door in front of him closed!
She immediately turned around and looked back. In the distance were several soldiers who seemed to be just standing there quietly. However, Zhu Mingqing was certain that they must have made some threatening moves, which caused the old man to react as he did just now.
Liang He also turned around suddenly, looking behind him with sharp eyes.
The two looked at each other, then walked forward in silence.
After turning a corner, the feeling of being followed disappeared.
"Sir Liang, Madam." Fen Tao came forward and told him the results of the examination.
Sure enough, the symptoms were extremely similar to what Dr. Hua described.
And because of Fen Tao's cute appearance, many people were not on guard, which allowed her to successfully enter many people's homes for inspection.
Most of these people developed fever very suddenly, while others had a persistent cough or felt weak all over.
Liang He: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back now. I'm going to find the Le County Magistrate to explain the situation. These people are not infected with the disease and can all be cured!"
Zhu Mingqing held out his hand to stop him. "Wait, I have a question. The old man just said that there aren't many sick people here, and if Fen Tao could discover something, I believe the county magistrate would also be able to discover it. So why did the government surround this place in just one day?"
Liang He's expression froze: "You mean..."
Was this something the county magistrate did on purpose?
Zhu Mingqing added, "Also, this prescription contains a herb called Banyehuang, which is in short supply in Le County and surrounding counties."
Liang He's heart sank. If that was the case, then this disease and those soldiers were all planned in advance!
On the other side, Doctor Hua looked at the three people gradually approaching, his face not looking very good, and his heart skipped a beat...
Did I guess wrong?
When the others approached, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
There was a pair of soldiers between them. Liang He didn't care much about it before, but now he had other ideas in his mind and didn't dare to say anything more.
He simply said, "Please, Doctor Hua, try to collect the missing herbs."
After hearing this, Old Man Hua understood.
He nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will find it this time, even if I have to search the entire Jizhou."
Zhu Mingqing was just about to say that she still had this spotted yellow herb in her hands, but other herbs were scarce and needed to be collected quickly, when a loud shout came from a distance: "Oh no! Someone has a high fever and is not breathing!"
Two soldiers ran over immediately. Liang He wanted to follow them but was stopped.
"My lord, please don't move around to avoid contracting the disease."
Zhu Mingqing looked indifferent. Epidemic?
If it was really an epidemic, I'm afraid these soldiers would have panicked long ago.
Moreover, why did that person who was not breathing look so much like the old man they had just questioned?!
At this moment, all the people in the north of the city were awakened by the shout just now, and everyone in the inn had also heard about this and became restless.
Unexpectedly, he escaped the disaster on the road, but was trapped in Le County, not far from Guancheng.
Liang He followed Zhu Mingqing to the backyard, lifted the oilcloth of one of the carts, and dozens of sacks came into view.
Zhu Mingqing untied the rope of one of the sacks, looked at the herbs inside, and turned around and said:
"These are all yellow variegated leaves. But if the closure of the north city was intentional, if they knew we had these medicinal herbs, they would definitely take other measures."
For example, completely restricting their entry and exit!
Or just steal the variegated yellow.
Liang He said angrily: "Don't let me find out who is behind this dog official, otherwise I will not let him off!"
Zhu Mingqing glanced at him and said quietly, "What if it's someone from the Liang family?"
