The emperor also knew that his trip was a bit rash, so he naturally cooperated with Shen Nian.
Shen Nian asked others to call the emperor and Mr. Huang.
He reported the current situation to the emperor again.
Just as he was thinking of persuading the emperor to go back first, an officer came in to report, "Sir Shen, some villagers are causing trouble and fighting with our people."
Shen Nian frowned and asked sternly, “What’s going on?”
The soldier who reported the news quickly replied, "Our people wanted to take the infected people away, but the villagers refused to let us, and started fighting with weapons."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go take a look now." Shen Nian asked the soldier to go out first, and then he instructed the emperor, "Your Majesty, please rest here first. I will go take a look."
"I'll go with you!" the emperor said as he walked out of the tent.
Shen Nian was helpless, “Mu Feng, Mu Chen, keep an eye on the emperor later and don’t let anyone else get close.”
"Yes, master." The two men agreed and followed the emperor out.
Shen Nian got masks for the emperor and the others to wear, and then they all mounted their horses and headed towards the village where the trouble was.
I didn't go there in the summer, and continued to prepare medicinal materials and make medicine with Doctor Zhang.
When Chen Nian and his companions arrived at the village where the trouble was happening, the two groups were confronting each other with weapons, and there were two injured villagers in the middle.
Fortunately, the injury is not serious!
The officers and soldiers here saw Shen Nian coming over and made way for him to come in.
When the villagers in the standoff saw the high-ranking official coming, they were a little scared, but they still did not give in.
The village chief was also sweating with anxiety, and hurried over to explain to Shen Nian, nodding and bowing, "Sir, the villagers are ignorant and have alarmed you.
I explained to them that the adults wanted to save them, but they didn't believe it at all. They didn't have any bad intentions, though. They were just afraid because their loved ones were infected."
The village chief was afraid that Shen Nian would punish these villagers, so he quickly explained to them.
"They are just a bunch of unruly people. I've explained everything to them, but they just don't believe me. They even said that if we want to take them away, we have to walk over their dead bodies."
The Jintai County Magistrate, who was standing nearby panting, couldn't help but complain.
He has been talking so much today that his lips are almost worn out, but these villagers just don't believe him, which makes him so angry!
The emperor glanced at him from behind the crowd, and Mu Feng whispered that he was the magistrate of Jintai County.
The emperor looked at it twice with a cold face!
However, he couldn't reveal his identity for the time being, so he didn't say anything and continued to watch Shen Nian deal with it.
Shen Nian cleared his throat and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, if those infected with the plague are not immediately isolated and treated, not only will you be infected, but more seriously, if they are not treated in time, their lives will be in danger. Please understand."
"But how can you make us believe that taking them away means not burning them to death?" A burly villager asked with gritted teeth.
"Yes, how can you guarantee that?" Other villagers echoed and began to question.
"It's nice to say. When there was a plague before, you officials would just take people away and burn them to death. Why should we believe you this time?"
"That's right. Since we're all going to die, we'd rather they die in the village."
The villagers refuted it in unison, but they just didn't believe it.
Shen Nian raised his hand and asked everyone to be quiet. "How about this? You choose a few trustworthy villagers to go with us. We will provide centralized treatment in Xiawan Village. How about that?"
After Shen Nian finished speaking, the villagers looked at him suspiciously, "Are you serious, sir?"
"Of course, I was sent by the Emperor to deal with the plague, along with two other imperial physicians.
The infected villagers in Xiawan Village are almost all recovered. The villagers of Xiawan Village can testify to this. If you don't believe me, you can go and verify it when you get to Xiawan Village."
When the villagers heard that the imperial physician was present, their expressions relaxed a little. After a few words of discussion, the burly man spoke up on behalf of the villagers, "Then we will go together. We will accompany you the whole way."
"Okay. Let's go now." Shen Nian agreed readily.
Seeing that the adult was so firm in his words, the villagers made way for the soldiers to go in and transfer the infected people.
Chen Nian gave Mu Feng a look, and Mu Feng and Mu Chen quickly protected the emperor and left first.
After everything was ready here, Shen Nian followed on horseback and then transferred the personnel to the treatment point set up in Xiawan Village.
In other villages, let the leading officials do the same and quickly gather everyone together.
Xia Tian and Doctor Zhang had already prepared the medicine, and when the infected villagers arrived, they were quickly asked to drink the medicine.
The villagers who came to watch were relieved when they saw that the patient was indeed receiving treatment.
There was a lot of medicine boiled, so each villager who followed was given a bowl to drink.
Arrange everyone in tents and observe their recovery from time to time.
The emperor nodded inwardly when he saw that everything was in order.
Without staying to cause trouble, they returned to their camp in Xinping Town.
Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the emperor leave.
Otherwise, he would have to distract himself from taking care of the emperor. He was really afraid that he would not be able to take care of him sometimes, and if something happened to the emperor, it would be fatal!
Shen Nian's work was proceeding step by step, and the Liu family of Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the capital really started to make trouble.
In the morning, Cuiling went to the kitchen to get food and happened to meet Qiuyue who came to get Liu's tonic soup.
Cui Ling remembered Xia Tian's instructions and lowered her head to let Qiuyue go first. As a result, when Qiuyue passed by her, her body swayed and the food box in her hand fell to the ground.
Then Qiuyue said that Cuiling had bumped into her on purpose and broke Liu's tonic soup, and began to refuse to give in.
Cuiling argued that it was not her, but Qiuyue insisted that it was Cuiling who did it on purpose.
In order to calm things down, Cui Ling apologized to Qiuyue.
As a result, Qiuyue seized this opportunity and made a big deal out of the matter. She even had Cuiling taken to Liu to let her make the decision.
When the second wife heard about this and hurried over, Cui Ling had already been pressed down on a stool by Liu and being beaten with a stick.
Ningxiang and Ningxue knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, with obvious slap marks on their faces.
"Sister-in-law, what did this girl do to make you so angry?" The second wife asked as gently as possible.
"She's just a lowly maid. She doesn't admit her mistakes and even dares to talk back. She's just like her master, unable to distinguish between the big and small kings. Teach them a lesson so they'll remember it." Liu said casually.
"That's right, sister-in-law." The Second Madam smiled and said, "But sister-in-law, there's no need to bother with a little girl. Just teach her a lesson and don't get yourself hurt."
"Hmph, my second sister-in-law is kind-hearted. If these unruly girls are not taught a lesson, they will cause chaos." Liu said sarcastically.
"My sister-in-law has always been kind to others, and everyone knows it. How dare I compete with her?" The second wife gritted her teeth. If Xia Tian hadn't asked her to keep an eye on the people in her yard, she didn't want to see Liu's hypocritical face.
Liu snorted, turned her head away and stopped talking.
Before the Second Madam could say anything, Qiuyue came over and whispered to Liu, "Madam, that girl fainted."
Liu snorted softly, "Well, for the sake of my second brother's wife, I'll temporarily spare these girls. If they dare to behave like this again next time, I'll sell them out."
