Chapter 241

Someone took the opportunity to gather a crowd to make trouble. Naturally, some people did not agree with this behavior. A few hands and Minzhuang, who usually received a lot of care from Xu Yi and the others, stopped the troublemakers.

"In good conscience, who among us can compare to Dr. Xu? Dr. Xu takes care of so many patients every day, but has less time with them than we do."

"Oh, he is a doctor, but we are not, Is it possible that we still want to accompany him to his death?" The man who led the trouble pushed away Minzhuang who was blocking the way.

The manpower sent to assist in the resettlement workshop were all civil servants from Qishui County, and they belonged to different departments from Minzhuang.

Neither of them listens to the other on weekdays. When there is no infection, they only listen to Xu Yi's arrangements.

But today, I have many unwilling forces and a few people who are strong in my heart, so they have united together. The purpose is naturally to get some benefits from it.

Therefore, we need to hurry up. If we don't hurry up, it will be difficult for Magistrate He to handle the matter.

Minzhuang was tall and big, so the force of his hand was nothing more than a tickle for him. He frowned and shouted loudly: "There are so many doctors in the resettlement house, why do you want to die? Besides, Doctor A Xu said that it can be cured in a few days."

"That's a plague..."

"Didn't you see it? "The first batch of patients have been cured and sent out."

"Everyone, don't be fooled by him!" The leader raised his head and shouted, "It's true that Guo Li and San Niu were sick. The doctor said he would protect us." Security, they are all just deceiving us. Shouldn’t we get an explanation for ourselves?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Why are you telling them so much? Rush out and ask for an explanation from Doctor Xu!

” , someone started shouting.

Seeing that these people couldn't be persuaded, the expressions of several people who came to intercept changed, and sweat poured down their foreheads. There was even Min Zhuang standing behind who was about to run to tell Xu Yi that they should hide.

Xu Yi, who was coming from a distance, heard that Min Zhuang and Shou were protecting him, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

I feel that the efforts of him and his companions are not completely meaningless.

The people who made the trouble also saw Xu Yi and several other doctors coming towards them.

Due to Xu Yi's gentle behavior in the resettlement workshop for more than a month, these troublemakers were not afraid of him. On the contrary, they felt that Xu Yi was an easy person to handle. As long as they take advantage of Xu Yi's weakness in treating patients preferentially, they can gain a lot of benefits from it.

The leader's surname is Hu, and his colleagues call him Lao Hu. He has a dark face and a goatee.

Xu Yi didn't have much impression of him. He only knew that this man was very shrewd and loved to take advantage. One time, Xu Yi was in the cafeteria and saw him quarreling with others over an extra bun.

Knowing that he was the one who took the lead in making trouble, Xu Yi was not surprised at all.

Xu Yi asked him: "What do you want to say?"

"Doctor Xu, you are not a god or a bodhisattva. This disease is so terrible. People who fall ill have vomiting and diarrhea, which is very harmful to the body." Old Hu looked worriedly The few people he incited to make trouble pointed at them and said, "We people are exposed to patients every day, and sooner or later we will get sick. There is no credit but hard work. Are you just watching us fall?" "Brother Xu has contributed money, people, and efforts to prevent and control the epidemic. Are we still just watching ?

" Lin Xiuhui, who followed, looked at the troublemaker coldly.

Lao Hu followed his words and said: "Since Dr. Xu is so kind-hearted, can't he have pity on us?"

"That is, there are old and young among us. If we all get sick this time and the root of the disease is found, who will To support the family?"

Lin Xiuhui: "You? You are making excuses."

Xu Yi gave him a calm look and said slowly: "You are right, you must ensure your safety when working under me. If someone gets sick, I will bear the consequences. If the root cause of the disease is found, I will be responsible for the cure. "

"This..."

"Doctor Xu, that's not what we meant..." Lao Hu was a little stunned, but he didn't expect Xu Yi. She would obey his words so quickly.

But he obviously didn't want Xu Yi's promise, but wanted compensation.

Xu Yi half-squinted: "Then what do you mean?"

Old Hu: "..."

*

In the Qishui County Magistrate's Mansion, Magistrate He immediately received the news that one of his subordinates in the resettlement workshop was infected with the plague.

In addition to the Shouli and Minzhuang assigned to Xu Yi, there are always people arranged by Magistrate He in the resettlement workshop. When the news about the Shouli causing trouble inside was passed on, Master Feng was also present. Until now, he had lowered his head. He frowned and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Obviously, Magistrate He was angry.

Since the areas where the plague occurred this time were all villages outside the city, the number of civilians affected was not very large. After County Magistrate He reported the plague to Qizhou Prefecture, the news from the prefecture there was to ask local doctors in Qishui to organize disaster relief, but no additional manpower or official doctors were sent.

Magistrate He was dissatisfied with the indifferent attitude of the superiors. Fortunately, Xu Yi, who took the lead in the treatment this time, did not disappoint him. There was no news of death from the plague for so long.

Someone in the resettlement house took the opportunity to cause trouble, and Magistrate He could not pretend to be blind and pretend it didn't happen.

This plague has not yet been completely eradicated, so it is foolish to dare to cause trouble at this time.

Magistrate He glanced at the person standing quietly on the side: "Master Feng, go and ask Inspector Hong to come over and order him to bring a few people to the resettlement house to catch the troublemakers."

"Magistrate He, Inspector Hong took Minzhuang to check the water sources on the mountain this morning. Master Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up and replied, "Inspector Hong went to check the major diversions of Xishui River this time. I'm afraid. I won't be able to come back for a while."

Magistrate He was silent for a while and then changed his words: "Then you go and recruit some people and follow me to the resettlement workshop."

Master Feng: "..."

Magistrate He led the people. When he arrived, what he heard was Xu Yi's promise.

Before Lao Hu could say anything to make up for it, he was frightened to death by the sudden arrival of Magistrate He. The few people who followed him to cause trouble became frightened and secretly regretted why they had so blindly agreed to it. Hu.

Magistrate He glanced coldly at the people kneeling on the ground and walked towards Xu Yi: "You are the doctor I sent to treat the disease, why do you need to make a promise to them?"

Xu Yi said: "They often come into contact with patients. The risk of contracting the plague is high, and it’s normal to be afraid.”

When Magistrate He heard his excuses for these troublemakers, he said coldly: "What kind of place is the resettlement house? They dare to take the opportunity to cause trouble here, but they don't take me seriously."

"What Magistrate He said is absolutely true. "Xu Yi lowered his eyes slightly.

Seeing his reaction, County Magistrate He was quite satisfied. Xu Yi had a kind heart, but he was not stupid. He was also kind-hearted towards evil people.

Last time, he used a trick to send the stupid Qiu back, just to see how Xu Yi would treat this Qiu. After hearing the news from the arranger, Xu Yi treated her equally, but did not relax his supervision. After curing the plague, he asked Minzhuang to escort her back.

Today, Mr. Qiu is still in prison, just waiting for the plague to end before he can be sentenced in court.

Next, Magistrate He did not listen to the sophistry of Lao Hu and others who took the lead.

He glanced at Xu Yi, and then gave an order to Master Feng: "Anyone who caused trouble today will be taken out and beaten twenty times."

After hearing this, Xu Yi looked at Magistrate He in a daze.

Even if it is flogging, twenty spanks is not a small amount. The person who is beaten may have to stay in bed for two or three days before getting up to work.

There is a shortage of manpower at the moment. If these six or seven people are dragged away for flogging, there will be even more shortages.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi shouted hurriedly: "He County Magistrate!"

He County Magistrate looked at him coldly: "What, you want to plead for them?"

Xu Yi quickly explained that it was not the case, but spoke slowly: "These people It's true that they should be punished, but there is currently a shortage of people in the resettlement workshop. If you hurt them and you have to treat them, why not make meritorious service?"

After hearing Xu Yi's plea for mercy, Lao Hu and the others who were kneeling on the ground said, They all showed expressions of gratitude.

I didn’t expect Doctor Xu to be such a good person.

They actually took the opportunity to cause trouble just to get that little advantage. They really deserve a fight!

Magistrate He saw the reactions of those people and looked at Xu Yi meaningfully: "Oh? What kind of meritorious deeds are made for crimes?"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "Since they are afraid of coming into contact with patients, then it is up to them. If anyone fails to take care of those who are seriously ill, he will be punished even more when the epidemic is over."

Lao Hu and others: "...?"

No, are you interceding for them?

How do you feel that they have met the Living King of Hell?

Such a terrible punishment came from Doctor Xu's mouth? ? ?

Lin Xiuhui, who thought Xu Yi would relent and plead for mercy, paused: "?"

Even others, including Master Feng, looked at Xu Yi with a calm face in shock, as if those words did not come from his mouth. Speak out.

Magistrate He hooked up his lips and said with a smile: "What Dr. Xu said is reasonable, let them serve their crimes."

After solving the trouble, Magistrate He did not leave in a hurry. He did not come to the resettlement house often. It was always a plague area. If he If you accidentally bring the disease back to the city, it will cause even greater trouble.

But I'm here today, so I have to take a good look around.

Magistrate He stayed in the resettlement house for half a day. After disinfection, he took Master Feng and Minzhuang away.

Seeing that Magistrate He was gone, Lin Xiuhui came to Xu Yi with doubts in her heart: "You said you were responsible before, but why did you change your mind later?"

Xu Yi said calmly: "Magistrate He is here."

Lin Xiuhui looked puzzled. He asked, "What does this have to do with Magistrate He?"

Xu Yi said, "Magistrate He came to support me, why should I wrong myself."

He wanted to appease the troublemakers, not out of soft-heartedness, but out of intention This matter was resolved with minimal loss.

After all, at this point, making things worse would be extremely detrimental to the common people in the plague area.

Lin Xiuhui was stunned for a moment, but then she thought that the fundamental problem was not Xu Yi's attitude.

The final analysis of this matter was that Lao Hu and a few troublemakers were too greedy. If they had not been greedy, they would not have been punished in any way.

Thinking that the last look they looked at Xu Yi was filled with fear, Lin Xiuhui felt very happy.

He thought for a while and looked at Xu Yi: "You can be considered as 'killing someone with a borrowed knife.'"

Xu Yi replied: "Wrong, it was County Magistrate He who wanted to 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey'. I just made the knife conveniently, that's all." "

Whether it was flogging him or agreeing to meritorious service, it was all based on the premise that Magistrate He wanted to "let go". Otherwise, in normal times, if someone makes trouble in such a severe situation, he will not be punished with flogging, but with twenty sticks.

Xu Yi slowly came to his senses from Magistrate He's pointed eyes.
