Chapter 112 Mr. Song is indeed wise
Song Yunchu withdrew his hand expressionlessly. Jun Tianyi only felt the internal energy in his dantian rushing around. He covered his chest and took two steps back. He leaned against the counter and barely supported his body.
Seeing that his breathing was unstable, a hint of mocking smile flashed across Song Yunchu's eyes.
The bastard was still so impatient, knowing full well that he was no match for her, he still offered himself to be beaten by her.
"Your Majesty, I have an important task to attend to. I am in no mood to waste time with you. You were the first to attack me, and I was just trying to protect myself. If you think I am committing an offense, you can go back and complain to your mother, or report me to His Majesty."
After Song Yunchu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Jun Tianyi's expression and turned to look at Jiang Rumin, "Miss Jiang, let's go."
She was not afraid that Jun Tianyi would go to the emperor to complain.
After all, she and Jiang Rumin were bound by an engagement, and now they had to go to the court together to carry out tasks. Jun Tianyi came to Ruihe Hall and pushed Jiang Rumin around, which was not only immoral, but also disrupted official business.
Facing such an unreasonable person, even if she hurt him, what could he do to her?
Jiang Rumin came back to her senses, said ok to Song Yunchu, then she and her two maids packed their bags and followed Song Yunchu.
“Minmin!”
When Jiang Rumin stepped over the threshold, she heard Jun Tianyi's anxious call again behind her.
How could Jiang Rumin not understand that he was still trying to keep her, but she had made up her mind to leave, so she didn't look back and followed Song Yunchu into the carriage.
Jun Tianyi clenched his fists as he watched the carriage pass by.
Song Yunchu...
Want to go on an adventure to the west of the city?
He will make sure that this bastard never comes back!
…
When Song Yunchu and Jiang Rumin arrived at the west of the city, General Zhao had already arrived with his soldiers. He set up checkpoints on every street in the west of the city and strictly guarded it, prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from entering or leaving.
"Sir Song, it's just as you said. The situation is not good. During the morning court session, we received news that only four or five households had patients. When the soldiers blocked the streets just now, they asked around and found that there are nearly twenty households now."
Song Yunchu was not surprised by this result.
How can the speed of information dissemination in this era be updated in real time? When four or five households are found, the actual number should have increased several times.
The information received by the court did not include patients in the incubation period and those who had not yet been discovered, or even those who had been discovered but dared not be reported.
"I have already understood the general situation of the plague. Miss Jiang needs two absolutely quiet rooms. One is for her and the maids to live in. She will select two patients with the mildest symptoms and place them in the other room for observation."
Song Yunchu said to General Zhao, "Among the patients under your care, are there any who have just fallen ill? In the early stages of this disease, there is only fever, and there are no obvious changes in the skin."
"There are a few. We have requisitioned some inns and will select two spacious rooms for Lord Song and Miss Jiang in a while."
"Thank you, General Zhao."
In the following time, everyone took their luggage and checked into the inn arranged by General Zhao.
Song Yunchu left the largest private room to Jiang Rumin and his servant, and he himself lived in the next room. The room at the back was occupied by Bai Zhu and Chu Yuni, as well as some accompanying guards from the prime minister's residence.
At noon, when everyone was having lunch, Jiang Rumin still did not leave the house, and even the guards Song Yunchu asked to deliver the food were sent back.
"Miss Jiang hasn't come out of the private room since she entered it, right?"
Chu Yuni looked at the food brought back by the guards with a puzzled look on her face, "It's okay if she doesn't go out, but doesn't she feel hungry?"
“When people concentrate on doing something, they will forget about eating and sleeping.”
Song Yunchu said, "In her bag, besides some clothes for changing and a few medicine boxes, there are almost all ancient medical books. It may take her days and nights to finish reading all those books. She doesn't feel like eating right now, so there's no need to disturb her. When she wants to eat, Shaoyao and Yingchun will prepare it for her."
Chu Yuni nodded, and then asked: "Sir, what do we need to do this afternoon?"
"We're going to the outskirts of the city to collect herbs. Miss Jiang never took her eyes off the medical books on the way here. With her current knowledge of medicine, she believes these herbs can come in handy."
As Song Yunchu spoke, he took out several drawings from his sleeve pocket and spread them out on the table. The drawings showed herbs of different shapes, with the efficacy and characteristics of the herbs marked beside the patterns.
"These herbs are in short supply in Miss Jiang's hands. They are not sold on the market. Most of them grow in the wild. She originally dug them in the suburbs. This one needs to be found in a damp mountain stream. This one is aquatic and needs to be found at the bottom of a stream. And this one..."
Song Yunchu assigned tasks to everyone with a serious look, and finally added, "After the matter is resolved and we return to the city, we will reward you according to your merits. The more resources you collect, the more rewards you will get."
"Remember this, it's fine if you slack off during your training on ordinary days, but at this critical moment, if anyone dares to slack off, you must report each other. Once I find out who is the most lax, I will have him dragged outside the inn and beaten with dozens of sticks."
When Chu Yuni heard that she would be beaten for being lazy, she felt the muscles behind her buttocks tighten.
"Don't worry, sir. I love to show off." Chu Yuni said firmly, "Perhaps, I will be the one who gets the most resources."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, eat and take a rest, then go back to work."
Song Yunchu's words always have a deterrent effect. After dinner, everyone rested for a while, and then divided into groups according to her instructions, taking the drawings to the outskirts of the city to dig herbs.
Song Yunchu went to meet with General Zhao and listened to the soldiers' reports on the latest situation of the plague.
In just half a day, the number of infected people found in the west of the city had exceeded 100.
The news soon spread to the palace.
In the imperial study, Jun Li Luo had just finished reading a batch of memorials. When he heard the news brought back by Chen Yue, his brows furrowed.
"Your Majesty, Lord Song's decision is indeed the wisest."
Chen Yue also had a serious expression on his face, "If the west of the city had not been sealed off immediately, the plague would have spread to more places by now, and it is not impossible that it would have flowed into the palace within two or three days."
Jun Li Luo was silent for a moment, then said, "Pass the order down, no court for three days, let all ministers stay at their homes, except for the military generals who need to patrol as usual, civil officials are not allowed to move around, if there are any documents to be reported, have them delivered to the outside of the palace gate."
"yes."
"One more thing." Jun Liluo said in a deep voice, "Pay close attention to the situation in the west of the city. If Jiang Rumin or the imperial doctors discuss ways to prevent the plague, come and report to me immediately."
Listening to Jun Liluo's instructions, Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, you don't want to..."
Rather than treating the plague, what is more important is of course to figure out how to prevent the plague and prevent healthy people from being infected with the disease as much as possible.
His Majesty specifically emphasized to him that he should report immediately once he found a solution. Doesn't this mean that His Majesty also wants to go to the west of the city?
"Just follow my instructions." Jun Liluo's tone was even, "No need to say more."
