Chapter 706 Little Nuobao makes a move
Jiang Fengnian stood up anxiously, "Nanji has not had an epidemic for three years. Now is a time of good weather and peace. How could there be an epidemic suddenly?"
Feng also pinched her palms and breathed faster.
"Yes, I haven't heard of an epidemic spreading in other provinces. Why is there one in the capital? How did it spread?"
Speaking of epidemics, everyone is terrified.
Moreover, the autumn harvest is coming soon. If there is an epidemic at this critical moment, it will be a disaster for the people.
Thinking of the tragic scene of corpses everywhere and tears everywhere when there was an epidemic in the past, Feng was even more frightened.
The servant was also a little nervous, and hurriedly continued, "Doctor Wu said that he didn't know the source of the disease, so he could only temporarily prepare a prescription to keep Mrs. Wu alive. He also told us not to go out too much these days, and not to come into contact with patients easily."
"When you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can also get more white vinegar and burn some moxa leaves, and sprinkle them around the house. It will have some effect."
Feng listened to it all and hurriedly wrote it down.
Fortunately, Wu Qing had a premonition and asked the maid Chuntao to wear a veil before going out to isolate the sick air in the house. Although the Jiang family had contact with her, they didn't have to worry too much.
Li Qiqiao also looked solemn, and hurried to the outer courtyard to instruct the servants and the maids.
"From now on, there are some urgent matters at home. No one is allowed to leave the house without permission!"
As for the epidemic, she didn't say it directly, in order to avoid it being spread out and causing panic among the people, which would make things even more chaotic.
Little Nuobao was thinking about the epidemic, sitting on the armchair, her little face was about to wrinkle with worry.
She guessed that this matter must not be simple, but she couldn't panic for now, she had to come up with a countermeasure first!
The epidemic is more serious than a flood or a beast.
The most important thing now is to never spread it in the city, to protect the people!
So, the little fat girl touched her chin, stood up and said, "Mom, this matter is too urgent, we have to send someone to the barracks and tell the third brother and brother Xiao."
After all, the first person to die of the disease was from the barracks.
The military camp is related to the safety of the court, and there must not be any chaos.
Mrs. Feng nodded hurriedly and called Nanny Zheng, "Okay, such an important matter, I will feel at ease only if you go there in person. By the way, bring more clothes for them."
After Nanny Zheng left, Xiao Nuobao said seriously, "Brother, brother, you two go door to door according to the list of people who went to Pei's house for the banquet last time, and inform these officials that from today on, they must all live in their official residences and cannot leave or return to the house without permission."
"And their families and servants are not allowed to leave the house. The daily food and drink expenses will be sent by people sent by the Ministry of Revenue. The disease must not be spread outside the house. Those who disobey the order will be severely punished!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Feng and the others were very surprised.
"My dear, why are only officials under control, and they are all those who went to Pei's house that day? Could it be that this matter is related to Pei's family again?" Feng was a little bit unconvinced, and her eyes widened suddenly.
Xiao Nuobao nodded seriously, and his little head showed a serious look little by little.
"That's right, mother, didn't you notice that the ones who are sick now are all the officials on that day, and their families?"
"The first rich boy who got into trouble in the barracks was the son of Lord Wang, the member of the Ministry of Works, and Lord Wang and his wife had both been to Pei's house for a banquet."
"And Mrs. Wu had also been there. The epidemic chose them. Even if it was a coincidence, it would be difficult for it to be so coincidental." Xiao Nuobao frowned.
So she definitely suspected that this matter was related to that day.
Hearing this, the Jiang family was shocked and stared, and then they were angry again.
Who would have thought that a mere banquet at Pei's house could harm people twice again and again.
This is really abominable!
Jiang Fenghu got angry and slammed the table with his fist.
"That damn Gu Changying and the old man of the Pei family, why didn't they just take their lives that day? For people as black-hearted as them, it's unfair to good people to live one more day!"
Li Qiqiao's cheeks also turned red with anger, and she really wanted to bite them through, "It doesn't matter, fortunately the people are still in our hands, and tell the third brother not to let them go easily! When the time comes, they will be taken to Caishikou and torn into pieces by five horses, which is what they deserve!"
Chun Ge'er and Dong Ge'er on the side saw that something was wrong, but they didn't make a fuss and sat obediently on the small benches.
If it were any other time, Feng would not let them say such scary words in front of the children.
However, this time, she wanted to nod along!
If the epidemic really spread throughout the capital, countless innocent people would die. Not to mention being torn apart by five horses, even if Pei Lao and his gang were dragged to Ling Chi to be tortured, it would not be too much!
However, the Jiang family could not afford to scold them anymore.
In the face of the epidemic, time is life.
They hurriedly took precautions, put on their veils, put white vinegar in their pockets, and then rushed to the military camps, the Ministry of Households and other places to inform Fengze and the officials.
Soon, after getting the news, Wu Qing took the lead in spreading the word, notifying the Imperial College to temporarily suspend classes, and also left the students with heavy homework to save them from running around.
After receiving the princess's handwritten order, the officials hurriedly packed their bags and moved to their official residences, ordering their families not to go out.
As for some unimportant officials, Xiao Nuobao simply let them take a day off, no longer have to report for duty, and stay at home.
After all, the current situation is uncertain.
One less person going out means more safety and security.
Fortunately, following Xiao Pangya's thinking, the epidemic has been brought under control.
At least it has not spread to ordinary people for the time being.
This is a blessing in disguise.
And needless to say, Jiang Fengze's top priority is to go to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei II, and order them to explain what they have done.
"How did you bring the epidemic into Beijing?"
"What did you do to us that day?"
Mr. Pei was already old, and after a few long whips, he was already dying, and his saliva was dripping all over the floor.
Mrs. Pei was even more so.
As soon as the red-hot iron was raised, her pants got wet, and yellow liquid flowed all over the floor, begging for mercy and crying.
Unfortunately, these two people knew nothing about the epidemic. After being interrogated for half a day, they just cried and shook their heads and could not answer a single word.
Jiang Fengze was not surprised. It seemed that only Gu Changying had planned it.
However, although Gu Changying was used to it and had always been petite and voluptuous.
But this time, she endured all the punishments!
Jiang Fengze used all the torture instruments until she fainted several times and her prison uniform was stained with blood, but she still bit her mouth and kept silent.
Even Fengze was a little surprised that she was so stubborn.
In the end, when the jailer wanted to hand over the nails and whip, Jiang Fengze frowned and refused to take it.
"Forget it, she won't give in, let's both save our energy." Fengze clenched his fists.
He really didn't understand what supported Gu Changying to let her endure such severe physical pain.
After everyone left, Gu Changying endured the heart-wrenching pain, opened her dry and cracked lips, and squeezed out a smile.
"Now... I can't tell you yet, because my uncle's plan has not been accomplished yet..."
"Uncle, Ying'er is willing to suffer all the hardships in the world for you, and when you rule the world, Ying'er will be your most beautiful queen..."
Gu Changying thought foolishly.
The pain in her body seemed to be alleviated a little under the nourishment of love...
However, how could she know at this time.
The uncle who had been thinking about her all along had already treated her like a piece of trash and didn't care about her life or death at all...
...
There was no news in prison, but the Jiang family was also thinking of a solution.
Soon, Doctor Wu sent back another message.
This time, in addition to a few words, there was also a prescription.
The prescription was for a hundred epidemics. Although it could temporarily alleviate the condition, it was not targeted, so it could only suppress it but not cure it.
Doctor Wu had been up for two nights and had become noticeably thinner.
He was a little anxious and said, "If we want to cure this disease, we must find out what the source of the disease is. Although I have been practicing medicine for many years, this is the first time I have seen an epidemic like this."
Find out the source of the disease?
This would make it difficult for the Jiang family.
After all, the people in the prison refused to confess, and they had no idea how to find out.
Just when everyone was anxious, Xiao Nuobao squinted her eyes, stood up, and decided to go to a place!
