Chapter 107 Sir, Come and Catch Me
"Xiao Yuchen, go tell Li Wei, I'm afraid we can't leave. They are infected with the disease and it's contagious."
When Xiao Yuchen heard that there was an epidemic, his heart skipped a beat. This matter could be a big deal or a small one.
Suddenly he remembered that in the past there was a village where people were infected with an epidemic, and his father ordered that all the people in that village be burned to death.
If all the refugees here were to be infected with the disease and the news reached the capital, his father might issue the order again.
The number of refugees outside this time, plus the people in the entire county, is much larger than the population of that village. If my father still orders them all to be burned to death, it will definitely cause public outrage.
He couldn't bear to think of what terrible things would happen.
"Since there is an epidemic and you are pregnant, don't touch them, so as not to get infected again." Xiao Yuchen did not tell Li Wei about this immediately.
Instead, he immediately cared about Jiang Nanyuan's safety.
Jiang Nanyuan's body is immune to all poisons, and this epidemic has no effect on her.
"I'm fine, you should go and tell Li Wei first. By the way, don't let my mother and the others come over later. Tell them to stay away from these things.
Also, if Li Wei can persuade the county magistrate to build a tent outside to temporarily separate those who are sick, it will be able to control the spread of the disease a little bit."
Jiang Nanyuan didn't know what kind of person the Ji County Magistrate was. He always felt that if Li Wei went to talk to him, the magistrate would cooperate, after all, so many lives were at stake.
Xiao Yuchen was not optimistic after hearing this. He didn't think that if Li Wei talked to the county magistrate, he would do as he was told.
"Do you have any way to cure this epidemic?" Jiang Nanyuan's medical skills are better than Yue Li's. If Jiang Nanyuan has no way, Yue Li probably has no way either.
Jiang Nanyuan nodded affirmatively. She did have antidotes in her space, but she didn't want to take them out. Those pills were high-level detoxification pills she had refined before.
It would be a bit of a waste to use the medicine on these refugees, and she knew another prescription that could cure the epidemic.
Moreover, this herb is very common and easy to buy in medical clinics, so there is no need to use the high-level detoxification pills in her space at all.
When he learned that Jiang Nanyuan had a way to cure the epidemic, he felt relieved. After all, so many lives were at stake.
There are only a small number of refugees outside the city gate, and there will definitely be many more refugees coming here one after another.
During this period, no one could tell whether they were infected with the disease.
But as long as there is a way to treat it, it will be fine.
Seeing that Jiang Nanyuan seemed to be really fine, Xiao Yuchen stood up and explained the matter to Li Wei.
At the same time, he saw Lin Zhixue wanted to go find Jiang Nanyuan, so he immediately asked Bai Zhan to block her way.
Lin Zhixue was suddenly stopped and felt confused, but when she saw that it was Bai Zhan, she knew that he was Xiao Yuchen's bodyguard.
Seeing that he was stopping her for some purpose, she simply stopped walking towards Jiang Nanyuan.
After Li Wei learned about this, even though he knew what kind of person the county magistrate was, he still wanted to give it a try, just in case he felt guilty.
So he turned back, and the officers and soldiers were about to close the gate to see him, but he turned back and had to open the city gate again.
"My lord, do you have anything else to say?"
"Go call your county magistrate over. I have something to say to him. This is an urgent matter. The sooner the better."
Seeing that Li Wei was frowning, the soldier did not dare to delay and ran back to find the county magistrate.
Li Wei was waiting at the door, looking in Jiang Nan's direction from time to time. Seeing Jiang Nanyuan so close to the refugees, he frowned in displeasure.
Since she already knew they had the disease and was still so close to them, wasn't she afraid of being infected?
"Master Li, aren't we leaving now?"
Li Qiang came over and asked, it was really strange, he was about to leave just now, but suddenly he didn't leave, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
"I won't leave for now. Oh, and keep an eye on them. Don't let them get close to these refugees. They might be infected with the disease."
Li Qiang was shocked when he heard that they were infected with the disease. After he came to his senses, he quickly took several steps back and stayed away from the refugees.
It just so happened that he was standing where Jiang Nanfeng and the others were standing. Seeing him so frightened, Jiang Nanfeng asked curiously.
"Master Li, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
When Li Qiang heard Jiang Nanfeng's question, he still had a panicked look on his face and said in fear, "Those refugees are infected with the disease. Stay away from them."
It's no wonder that Li Qiang and the others were so scared. After all, the emperor had burned people with plague to death before, and this matter had spread in the capital very early, and everyone knew about it.
The fear of the epidemic is also deeply engraved in their hearts.
When Jiang Nanfeng and the others heard that there was an epidemic, they had the same reaction as Li Qiang: horror, panic, and fear.
But they were also very confused. They had only been out for a short while, so who said there was an epidemic?
And if there was an epidemic, why would the government let these refugees stay outside the city?
There are many people coming in and out of the city, and the disease is spreading very quickly. If the county magistrate knew about it, he would never let them stay outside.
He suddenly felt something strange. He seemed to have seen Jiang Nanyuan taking the pulse of those refugees just now.
Could it be that she was the one who said this?
The thought of this made him feel ridiculous. What did Jiang Nanyuan know? With her limited medical skills, could she diagnose an epidemic? He really believed her lies and believed what she said!
Thinking of this, he told Li Qiang his guess. Li Qiang felt very strange when he heard what he said.
Yes, if there really was an epidemic, the county magistrate would not have ignored it. Could it be that Li Wei was just making this up?
But that doesn't make sense. How could he possibly be talking nonsense about this?
Forget it, never mind. Li Wei has already sent someone to call the county magistrate. We’ll know whether it’s true or not when he comes out.
Li Wei stood outside the city gate and waited for nearly an hour.
The county magistrate still hadn't come out, which made him a little annoyed. The matter was urgent, but he didn't know what the county magistrate was doing and why he didn't come out for such a long time.
Xiao Yuchen also had the same question. He walked towards Bai Zhan and whispered a few words to him. Bai Zhan nodded and left the team.
He came to an empty wall, used his lightness skills to flip over, and headed straight towards the county government office.
When he arrived at the county government office, it was quiet inside. He walked quickly on the roof of the county government office until he heard the playful laughter of a woman from below. Then he stopped.
Looking down, the officers and soldiers that Li Wei had sent to report were kneeling outside the yard.
It seemed that the person inside was the magistrate of Ji County. He lifted the tiles and looked down, and saw a slightly fat man with his eyes covered with a black cloth.
He groped around the house, laughing obscenely, "Beauty, where are you? If I catch you, I'll make you take off your clothes."
"Sir~ I'm here, come and catch me."
