Chapter 217 Ye Chutang Resolves the Crisis
Ye Chutang knew that Peng Bin would come into the town.
Because the less people take human life seriously, the more they fear death.
So she was not surprised at all to see Peng Bin staggering with a pale face.
Peng Bin's legs felt like they were filled with lead and he had to use all his strength to take every step.
As he was getting closer and closer to Ye Chutang, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
Ye Chutang ignored Peng Bin who fell down and walked towards Han Chong who had a serious face.
"Have you finished catching the mice?"
"I don't know. My people are still investigating. Many people have been bitten by fleas."
"Gather them in one place first."
Han Chong looked at his busy men and said, "We have arranged for them to work in the pharmacy, but there are too many people, so we need to find another place."
"Then we can requisition the shop next door so it's closer and easier to manage."
"Okay, I'll arrange it in a moment. Madam Qi, there are still many people in this town who have been infected with the plague, but the pharmacy has no medicine. What should we do?"
Dayang Town is not large, and the clinic and the drug store are integrated into one.
The medicine was stolen last night, nothing was left.
The doctor went to the county this morning to buy some medicinal herbs, but the clerk at the drugstore hasn't delivered them yet.
Ye Chutang has no shortage of medicine, he just needs to find a suitable reason to take it out.
What she was worried about now was that the Dog Emperor had other moves besides plague and pestilence.
Thinking of this, she walked up to the unconscious Peng Bin, stepped on his hand and crushed it hard.
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
Peng Bin was connected to his heart and soon woke up with a scream.
He looked at his right hand, which was like mud, and let out a cry of fear.
"Ah! Help! My hand!"
Ye Chutang squatted down, smelled the smell of medicine coming from Peng Bin, and asked, "Who are you? What is your mission?"
Peng Bin thought about the lives of his family members and shook his head.
His voice trembled with pain. "Someone sent a message to the county government saying that there is someone in Dayang Town..."
“Bang!”
Ye Chutang interrupted Peng Bin with a slap and grabbed him by the collar.
"Your clothes have been boiled with insect repellent, right?"
These words made Peng Bin's blue face turn two shades paler. He tried to break free from Ye Chutang's grip, but failed.
"I... I don't know..."
“Bang!”
Ye Chutang slapped Peng Bin again.
"It would be easy for the Qi family to kill your family. Think before you answer."
"I really...ah!"
Seeing that Peng Bin was not honest, Ye Chutang directly poked out one of his eyes with a silver needle.
The silver needle was pulled out, and the metallic luster was covered by the black juice of the eyeball.
Thick black juice dripped along the silver needle into his other eye.
The vision was covered with a light dark color.
Peng Bin saw the silver needle so close to his other eye that he was so scared that he immediately let go.
"It's the county magistrate. Our family is imprisoned in the county government office. If we don't obey your orders, our whole family will die."
Ye Chutang knew that Peng Bin was lying, so he moved the silver needle in his hand down a little further, pressing it against his eyeball.
"You have one last chance to tell the truth."
Peng Bin was so frightened that he dared not blink or move.
"We are the garrison troops in Lai County, and we have been ordered to send...send all the exiled people on their way."
"How do you send it?"
"Plague, plague and smallpox, and then the burning of the city."
As soon as the word "burn the city" came out, Ye Chutang grabbed Peng Bin's neck.
"Tell me about the specific plan."
Only by knowing the source of the poison can we solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Peng Bin did not dare to hide anything and told the detailed plan in detail.
"I will tell you everything I know. Please give me the antidote."
He felt as if a knife was scraping his bones and cutting his flesh. Every part of his body was in pain and he felt that life was worse than death.
"idiot!"
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he twisted Peng Bin's neck and stood up.
She looked at Qi Yanzhou and said, "The soldiers guarding outside Dayang Town are not the main force, but the abandoned ones."
These soldiers have no identity or background, but they know the truth about the burning city.
It was obvious that the people behind the scenes had no intention of letting them live!
Qi Yanzhou understood what Ye Chutang meant.
"First solve the epidemic in Dayang Town, then deal with the people behind it."
After saying that, he grabbed Ye Chutang's arm and asked worriedly, "Atang, are you absolutely sure?"
If not, he would never let her take risks.
These ancient epidemics were not difficult diseases for Ye Chutang.
She nodded affirmatively, "Yes! But we have to eliminate the source of infection first."
The source of the plague is water.
There is a plague-infected corpse in the well at the east end of town.
The source of the plague is rats.
Although the rats had been almost burned to death, the fleas were still biting people everywhere.
The source of the smallpox was the waiter in the teahouse.
Xiao Er was infected with smallpox a few days ago and had come into contact with many people.
Qi Yanzhou said to Han Chong, "Send someone to fish out the body from the well and burn it, then seal the well. Most of the people in the town know each other, so it shouldn't be difficult to find the person by asking around about the people who entered the teahouse in the past few days."
Han Chong did not agree immediately.
He looked at Ye Chutang and said, "Madam Qi, it is not difficult to seal the well and find people. The difficult part is that there is no medicine. How about I take people to Xun County to buy medicine?"
Ye Chutang immediately objected, "No, everyone in the town may be infected with the disease, and no one can leave. I'll take care of the medicine, you don't have to worry."
In Han Chong's opinion, a good cook cannot cook without rice, and a good cook cannot cure a patient without medicine.
But he knew that Ye Chutang was right.
People in this town cannot leave!
If the disease spreads, the entire Beichen Kingdom will suffer.
He said: "People from nearby villages would come to the town for the market, and the waiter in the teahouse would come into contact with too many people, so smallpox might have spread."
Ye Chutang also guessed this, "The flow of people in the town is too concentrated, it is easy to infect each other, first solve the epidemic in the town, and then check the village."
"Okay, I'll go take care of the well and find someone first."
Han Chong immediately ordered his men to do the work and he also went to work.
As for the four families in exile and imprisonment, let Wu Chenggang watch over them. If anyone escapes, he will be killed without mercy!
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang with a serious expression.
"Atang, you didn't tell me about the solution to the plague. Is it very difficult?"
"It's a little tricky, but not difficult to solve. It just takes a little longer. What I'm worried about now is that if a person is infected with several diseases at the same time, the mortality rate will be too high."
What she didn't say is that the three viruses may form new viruses through interaction.
"Then keep the infected person away. If you need any medicinal herbs, I'll ask Nan Xiao to get them."
Nan Xiao is nearby, so it is not difficult to deliver the message.
Ye Chutang thought that the town was not big, so it would be useless even if it was isolated at the east and west ends.
Oh, right, the cellar!
"Putting those infected with the disease in the cellar will reduce the risk of spreading it."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Han Chong about the medicinal herbs..."
"I'll take care of the herbs. You have more important things to do."
Qi Yanzhou guessed what Ye Chutang was talking about and asked, "Find out the person behind this?"
Ye Chutang nodded, "I'm sure this person won't be too far from Dayang Town!"
