"Xiao Xizi, as long as your mother is still in Qinglong Town, you don't have to worry about not seeing her..."
"Yeah, I get it, big brother!"
Xing Bang knew what Xiao Xizi was worried about. Smallpox was so serious that many people had died.
Soon, the group arrived at the so-called quarantine area...
It’s very close to the slaughterhouse, which is just a simple shed. You can smell the pungent stench of corpses from a long distance away.
It was shocking to see that many bodies of people who had been dead for many days had not yet been dealt with.
Xiao Xizi had already run to the pile of corpses of men and women, and Xing Bang did not stop him because he wanted to see if there was his mother's body.
"Doctor Wang, is this your conscience as a doctor?"
Xing Bang also knew that this old eunuch was the imperial physician Wang Tianhe...
If Liu Xian hadn't issued a strict order, given his integrity, he would definitely not have gone to the dangerous place in person.
"This... Sir, it's not that I am standing idly by, but these people have basically no hope of survival!"
Obviously, the implication is that once you get smallpox, you will be sent here for isolation, and then wait to die here...
Xing Bang was just inspired by the cruel scene he saw. At most he accused Wang Tianhe of being inhumane, but he could not say that he was guilty.
It is certain that not all the dead were left unburied. Those left here are those without a single family.
I guess in an emergency, it is possible to burn everyone, dead or alive...
It's nothing unusual in this world.
"Doctor Wang, there are too many patients here. Take our doctor and first pick out the serious ones and treat them according to my method..."
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Tianhe dared not neglect it. If the eunuch's method was really effective, it would be hard for him to be embarrassed in front of His Majesty. God, please don't let him succeed...
Xing Bang's intention was very simple. At this time, only the people from the Imperial Hospital could do the treatment. Once there was some improvement, more people could be mobilized to do the treatment, and even anyone's family could take the patient home.
Following this method, the epidemic in Qinglong Town can be brought under control in just a few days.
"You guys should take the body out and bury it on the spot. It will rest in peace..."
However, the bailiffs who followed looked at each other without moving, obviously afraid to touch the corpses.
"Brothers, let's listen to the master and start. We are all from the same village. Besides, since the court has sent the master here, there must be a clever way. I believe in the master!"
"Okay, let's get started..."
The leading bailiff rolled up his sleeves and took the lead, and the rest gritted their teeth and agreed.
"Okay, very good. After the mission is accomplished, I will naturally reward those who have made contributions."
Xing Bang still had a good impression of these simple yamen runners, so he did not force them to obey his orders. Besides, it didn't make sense. The people from the court didn't care, so we, the little yamen runners, naturally had no obligation...
There were still a number of bodies that had no one to collect, and Xiao Xizi also helped to carry them out. It didn't take long before all the bodies were carried out.
After doing all this, Xiao Xizi breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that there was no corpse of his mother...
Then the hope of survival is greater or he is no longer in Qinglong Town at all.
"Xiao Xizi, do you know the family that bought your mother?"
"My family is a hunter in the mountains. After my mother was taken away, I was sent to the palace..."
Xing Bang guessed that he didn't know much, otherwise he wouldn't be so aimless.
"Xiao Xizi, what's your mother's name? Even if she's not in Qinglong Town now, he's a local yamen runner who was born and raised here, so he probably knows everything!"
"Yes, sir, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Even if I don't know, one of my brothers should know."
In a small town like this, these yamen runners are equivalent to local police officers, and they probably know which family’s cattle and sheep are about to give birth.
Xiao Xizi was delighted. He was indeed the elder brother. He was more thoughtful than he thought...
"My mother's name is Zheng Xiujun."
"Zheng Xiujun? Brothers, does anyone know?"
“I’ve never heard of that…”
Several yamen runners shook their heads to indicate they didn't know.
Xiao Xizi looked distressed...
Xing Bang shook his head, what a silly child!
"Say your father's name..."
"Yang Lao San!"
In this world, you may not even remember the names of women after a long time...
"Hey, are you talking about Yang Laosan, the hunter from Nanshan Village?"
"Yes, yes, is my father so famous?"
Xiao Xizi instantly became excited...
The bailiff smiled and said, "It's not your father who is famous, but your mother. In Qinglong Town, who doesn't know Yang Zheng? Especially..."
"You are Yang Zheng's son, so you are..."
Several yamen runners looked at Xiao Xizi at the same time, and there was no doubt that they already knew that he was a eunuch.
Xing Bang knew from their expressions that they were hesitant to talk. Xiao Xizi once said that his mother was very beautiful...
I think this is the reason.
Xiao Xizi was someone close to Xing Bang, so naturally the other yamen runners would be more restrained in their words.
"Since you know my mother, how is she doing? Is she still in Qinglong Town?"
"Father-in-law, oh, no, sir, your mother is still alive, but now she is in prison..."
When the bailiff knew Xiao Xizi's identity, he called out subconsciously.
However, Xiao Xizi was originally a eunuch, and he didn't care about these things at all. Instead, he asked with a puzzled look:
"Ah, why is my mother in prison?"
“Your mother married Huang Baiwan as a concubine… You should know that, right?
I don’t know what your mother was thinking, she stabbed Huang Baiwan to death a few days ago.”
"This Huang Baiwan is not only the richest man in Qinglong Town, but also the richest man in the whole county. I heard that he has connections in the capital. Even our county magistrate is afraid of him. If it weren't for the smallpox and the town lord's ideas, your mother would have been beheaded..."
"In fact, your mother killed Huang Baiwan for a reason. Many people know that Huang Baiwan often tortured your mother after drinking. Their servants had already spread the news throughout Qinglong Town, but no one dared to say it. Alas, your mother is indeed pitiful. I don't know how many people in Qinglong Town feel sorry for her. The number one in Qinglong Town..."
Ahem…
"Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I just think your mother is really pitiful, so..."
A yamen runner was talking and actually led himself in. The person next to him heard something was wrong and coughed to remind him.
However, Xiao Xizi is a silly boy who only has nine orifices...
Xing Bang finally understood what the bailiff wanted to say: Xiao Xizi's mother was the most beautiful woman in Qinglong Town.
But why did she marry a hunter?
However, there is one thing that is likely to happen: Xiao Xizi's father definitely did not die of natural causes...
Sometimes, beautiful women are a disaster, and people without ability cannot keep them.
"Okay, stop wasting time and go to the jail..."
