Chapter 224 This is a Mistake
Mo Jiuye stopped him.
"No need to go in. The person you are looking for is in this yard."
Ma Junshan was stunned for a moment, then asked in some confusion: "Jiu... Jiu Ye, that is smallpox..." How dare you stay here so boldly?
He Zhiran explained, "The little girl didn't have smallpox at all. The doctor at the clinic made a mistake."
Ma Junshan was suddenly dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, he asked, "Madam Nine, are you serious?"
He Zhiran nodded: "Really."
Ma Junshan was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"I will go back now and tell the adults the good news."
After he finished speaking, Ma Junshan grabbed his companion who was still standing there in a daze and ran away.
Seeing Ma Junshan, Mo Chuhan must be busy with this matter as well.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran discussed it and decided to go to the yamen and go home with the mynah bird.
The two men drove the mule cart towards the yamen.
Along the way, there were almost no people to be seen, and every door was closed, as if the end of the world was coming.
The mule cart was faster than walking. When He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye arrived at the yamen, Ma Junshan had not arrived yet.
Meng Huaining was a little overwhelmed at the moment. It was not that he had no ability to govern, but when faced with a disease like the plague, he really couldn't think of a perfect solution.
In order to prevent the spread of smallpox, he had no choice but to order the city to be closed to prevent smallpox from spreading to more places.
Not only that, as soon as he received the news, he ordered someone to go to the prefectural government office. Such a big thing had to be reported.
All the officials were sent out to do their work, and Meng Huaining was the only one left in the yamen.
When Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran arrived here, they walked in directly without notifying anyone.
When Meng Huaining saw them, he hurried to greet them.
"Brother Mo Jiu, Sister Jiu, why are you still in the city?"
He sealed off the city as soon as he received the news, which was already in the morning.
No one is allowed to enter or leave Yuncheng now, which means that these two people entered the city early in the morning and have not left yet.
Both of them knew that Meng Huaining was in a state of anxiety at the moment. He Zhiran quickly explained: "Brother Meng, it is pure nonsense to say that someone in the city has smallpox."
"Nonsense? What do you mean, Sister-in-law Nine?" The news Meng Huaining received was sent by someone from the clinic, so it couldn't be false, but why did Sister-in-law Mo say that?
“I have examined the little girl the doctor said had smallpox, and she did not have smallpox, but another disease called chickenpox.
Chickenpox looks a lot like smallpox, so it's not surprising that doctors in clinics misdiagnose it."
Upon hearing this, Meng Huaining no longer bothered to ask He Zhiran whether she knew medicine. The prescription for treating plague that she gave him was enough to prove her ability.
"Are you serious, Sister-in-law Jiu?"
He Zhiran nodded solemnly: "Of course I take it seriously. I have already given the little girl medicine to treat her illness. I believe she will recover soon."
Mo Jiuye was worried that Meng Huaining wouldn't believe his wife's words, so he explained, "What your sister-in-law said is true. She has been studying medicine since she was young, so she would never make a mistake."
In fact, Meng Huaining never doubted He Zhiran's words. In his heart, he had an inexplicable trust in the Mo family.
"In that case, I will immediately order the lifting of the blockade of Yuncheng."
As they were talking, Ma Junshan came back panting with a constable.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye and his wife were both there, Ma Junshan thought there was no need for him to explain.
Seeing someone coming back, Meng Huaining quickly ordered, "Ma Junshan, you must rush to the prefectural capital immediately and tell the prefect that the smallpox outbreak in Yuncheng was a complete misdiagnosis."
I hope the prefect's memorial has not been sent out yet, otherwise I will have to send someone to retrieve it.
Not long after Ma Junshan received the order and left, an official came over with several doctors with worried faces.
"Sir, the prefect has sent several doctors." The official reported.
Meng Huaining only took one look at the doctors and knew that they must have been forced to come.
If you encounter a highly contagious and incurable disease like smallpox, coming here means death.
There are historical records that there was once a county town severely affected by smallpox, and even those people who were not sick were trapped to death.
Therefore, when he heard that smallpox had also appeared in Yuncheng, Meng Huaining had already made plans for the worst.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a misunderstanding.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctors. I will send someone to take you back later."
Several doctors were stunned. They had all prepared to die and had even made arrangements for their funeral arrangements before coming to Yuncheng.
But what did the county magistrate say?
You actually want to send them back?
"Sir, are you really going to send us back?" a younger doctor asked in disbelief.
Meng Huaining nodded: "It has now been confirmed that there is no smallpox in Yuncheng."
After saying this, he ordered the officers: "Send these doctors back now!"
At one point, several doctors wondered if they were hallucinating, and some even tried to pick their ears hard.
Finally, it was confirmed that it was not a dream.
The officer was actually a little confused, but what the master said was not to be doubted, so he called a few doctors and went out.
At the same time, in the prefectural government office in the city.
A man in gorgeous clothes was pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.
Prefect Feng was earnestly advising, "Your Highness, Prince Rui, Yuncheng is too dangerous. I beg you to reconsider!"
Nan Rui waved his hand and said, "Lord Feng, there is no need to say more. This is our Dashun Kingdom. Even if I were in the capital at this moment, upon hearing such news, I would ask my father for permission to come to the rescue.
Now that I am only a stone's throw away from Yuncheng, how can I sit back and watch?"
Prefect Feng was already sweating profusely.
He had just arrived here to take office when such a big thing happened. Fortunately, he was encountered by the newly arrived King Rui.
If anything happens to Prince Rui because of this, not only will he lose his official position, but he might even lose his life.
However, seeing that Prince Rui was so determined, Prefect Feng was afraid that he would be unable to persuade him even if he wanted to.
"Your Majesty, in that case, I am willing to accompany you to Yuncheng."
"No need, I can go alone."
What he was going to do this time was completely shady, so the fewer people around him the better. How could he possibly bring Magistrate Feng with him?
Upon hearing this, Prefect Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
You know, he just used up a lot of courage to say that he would accompany King Rui. Now, he doesn't have to accompany him, and his life is safe for the time being...
Nan Rui looked at the sky and shouted outside, "Prepare your horses and follow me to Yuncheng."
His trip to the northwest was not a public action. If Yuncheng had not been sealed off, Nanrui would never have shown up in the prefectural yamen if no one knew what had happened.
