Chapter 44 Want to run~

Pei Gan ordered people to go out, and he lowered his eyes to read the symptoms presented by Lin Suisui, and then put the symptoms on the table aside.

But while he was still planning what to do next, Du Yuanruo knocked away the guard guarding the door like a crazy calf, and rushed in front of Pei Qian in a fierce manner.

"Pei Qian, you bastard, how dare you cheat on me?! Aren't you afraid that after I return to Beijing, I will give you a book that will make you hungry and carry you around?!"

In fact, Du Yuanruo already knew a thing or two about the situation outside. He had already gone from initial suspicion to now certainty!

But it was precisely because he was convinced that there was indeed an epidemic in this private camp that he became so anxious and crazy.

Du Yuanruo originally thought of running away with his men, but unfortunately he found out after he got out of the tent that the cronies who had followed him had already been captured by Pei Gan and had gone to who knows where!

He is now alone, with no one to help him, no money to spare, and no one pays attention to him even if he wants to go to fetch a horse. How can he escape?!

So after thinking about it, he decided to come over and find Pei Gan!

He has to go, must go, immediately, immediately!

Otherwise, if the epidemic really spreads, wouldn't he be doomed?!

It doesn't matter that Pei Qian is a lunatic, but he still wants to live! He doesn't want to stay here and be buried with this group of soldiers.

"Meet me? What do you plan to do with me, Third Young Master?!"

Pei Qian slowly put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Du Yuanruo, whose eyes were red with anger, with a half-smile: "With your intention to run away, even if I chop you in pieces now, you will not be taken back to the capital." No one will tell me I'm stupid!

What's more, if I don't let you leave now, I'm only saving you, not harming you!"

"You say p, you want to trick me, why don't you find a reasonable excuse?! There is already an epidemic in the refugee camps!

Epidemic!

That’s an epidemic, Prince Pei!

It will kill people!

If we don't make a fuss, both of us will die here! Do you understand?!

If you don’t want to live, I won’t stop you, but you can’t drag me here to accompany you and die with those soldiers, right?!

Pei Gan, you can either let me go today, or you can listen to what I said before and say that none of these refugees will be spared and all will be executed. In this way, the corpses will be burned to eliminate traces, and the epidemic will be solved!

This incident happened suddenly. Even if we go back and report it to the saint, Your Majesty will not blame us!

Why bother risking both your life and mine?!"

Du Yuanruo's emotions became more and more out of control in the end. He glared at Pei Gan and roared at the top of his lungs.

Faced with Du Yuanruo, who was completely out of control, Pei Qian's attitude was as calm as before. He still wrote something on the desk with his hands hanging down, until Du Yuanruo completely fell silent. He then spoke slowly: "Are you done?"

"Pei Qian, please give me a clear answer. Should you let him go or not?"

Du Yuanruo couldn't see Pei Gan's perfunctory treatment of him, but at this moment, life and death were at stake, and he couldn't care less about these trivial details. He just wanted to run away now and didn't want to stay any longer!

"How can you ensure that you and the people you want to take out are not infected with the epidemic? If you are infected with the epidemic and bring them back to the capital, what do you think will happen to you? ?!"

Putting down his pen, Pei Qian raised his head slightly, looked at Du Yuanruo who was stunned on the spot, smiled, and continued to stab his heart slowly: "Du Yuanruo, you are also a direct descendant of the Duke's mansion, why don't you have any brains at all?" Isn’t it long?!”

Naturally, he would not let Du Yuanruo go.

After all, this person is a bit of a fool, but if he keeps it, it will still be of some use.

Du Yuanruo wanted to continue shouting, but he was blocked by Qianhe who came in after getting the news. He couldn't even yell another sentence before he was tied into a rice dumpling and dragged away.

"Your Majesty, our subordinates who went to nearby cities to report for help at your command have returned. The county officials in the two nearest places initially heard that we were escorting refugees, and were quite polite to us; but in Next, when I heard that there was an epidemic here, my face immediately changed.

Not only were we unable to get what we needed, in two cases our people were even driven out of the city."

After Qianhe took away Du Yuanruo, he turned around and quickly returned to the tent, reporting the latest news to Pei Qian.

"Go and tie up all the family members of the county government officials in the nearby cities for me!" Pei Gan put down the tea cup in his hand. He was not surprised by the result, but he was still depressed. I couldn't help the anger boiling in my heart.

"If they want to protect themselves wisely, they are really blind!"

Those medical officers were left in the refugee camp. In addition to helping to take care of the physical condition of the refugees in the refugee camp, they also took on the task of teaching people to identify medicinal herbs.

Most of Lin Suisui's list can indeed be found in the nearby mountains and forests as she said, but the problem is that manpower is limited now, so in the end the task of finding herbal medicines falls to the refugees in the refugee camps. superior.

In order to prevent people from escaping and causing trouble, Pei Qian also made arrangements for this.

Those who go up the mountain to search for herbs are paid on a daily basis. However, the searchers can only be female relatives. A family can only allow one person to sign up, and then they are divided into groups of twenty. Luntian goes up the mountain under the protection of the sergeants.

Women are more careful than men, so they are more suitable for going up the mountain to find herbs; more importantly, women are generally less courageous, and the chance of escaping is relatively lower.

After learning about the epidemic, Lin Suisui actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the epidemic struck suddenly, the condition was not serious, and the time from onset to seriousness to death was not short.

After Lin Suisui inquired about the woman who died before, she found out that she was one of the people who had been punished before. Her body was already very weak, and now that she was infected with the epidemic, it was naturally made worse.

Now, the remaining patients in the epidemic area are obviously getting better after drinking the decoction arranged by Lin Suisui.

This development is a good sign!

After Lin Suisui finished writing the record of today's symptoms, she was getting out of the carriage and wanted to stretch out and get some air, when she was attracted by a commotion at the gate of the epidemic area.

She turned her head curiously and saw a pair of sergeants pushing a dozen wailing men and women in from outside the gate...
