Emperor Jinde threw the secret report directly in Prince Qin's face and sternly asked, "Burning the village? Who told you to do that?"
"The plague hasn't spread yet, its severity isn't known, and the number of infected people dying isn't high. Yet you're gathering plague victims together and burning them to death so early?"
