At this time, we were in a dense forest outside the city.

Several people were looking coldly at the scene under the city gate not far away.

"I didn't expect this county magistrate to be really cruel!"

"Just let people shoot arrows and set fire!"

"As a result, our subsequent plans will not be implemented."

The leader frowned and said.

"Yes, it took a lot of effort to drive so many people here. It took more than a month of work, but it was all in vain!"

"Let's go back and report to the Lord!"

"Think of other ways!"

"But they have already committed a big taboo by massacring the refugees, so I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with him!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, several people disappeared into the thick night.

Outside the city gate at this time.

It was already completely scorched black.

There were corpses with weird shapes everywhere. Most of them had experienced a painful struggle when they were burned. It was precisely because of this struggle.

Only then did their corpses show various weird postures.

Zhang Bao stood on the city wall and looked coldly at the scene below.

There is a strong, disgusting smell floating in the air.

Every breath Zhang Bao took made him feel as if his internal organs were on fire.

The soldiers around him also looked at the scene in front of them with shock on their faces.

For them.

Many of them are newly recruited soldiers.

I haven't experienced any decent battles.

Only after experiencing this kind of scene did they understand the concept of fighting.

It's not just them.

Even those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time are looking at the burned and blackened corpses in front of them.

It's hard to let go in my heart.

If these people were enemy troops attacking the city, it would not be completely like this for them.

But these people are ordinary people.

For them, their hearts are naturally not so calm.

"Order!"

"Clean the battlefield!"

"Bury the body!"

Zhang Bao said coldly.

For Zhang Bao, this is a battle, they are the enemies of the county government!

"yes!"

Everyone roared in unison.

Seeing Zhang Bao in such a calm state, everyone felt a lot less pressure.

Under Zhang Bao's various powerful methods.

The plague in the entire county was quickly eliminated.

All the refugees were nowhere to be seen.

After the assassins were dealt with, the two city gates opened normally.

The county government returned to its previous life.

Only the burned-black northern city gate and city wall constantly reminded people coming in and out of the city of what was happening here.

At the very beginning.

Most of the people in the city have opinions about Zhang Bao.

It was just a matter of Zhang Bao telling everyone to stay at home and sealing off the Beicheng area.

Nearly a hundred people died before and after.

Especially when Zhang Bao wanted to burn the bodies of those people.

For them.

Zhang Bao's behavior was extremely unscrupulous.

But later on, when the plague has passed, life will continue as usual.

Many people have gradually changed their views on Zhang Bao.

"What did I say?"

"If our county magistrate hadn't made a decisive decision and kept everyone at home, would he have been able to get over it so quickly?"

"The county magistrate's move will cure the root cause!"

"Let me tell you, I am a doctor. The most troublesome thing about preventing the plague is how to get so many people to take the medicine as quickly as possible in a short period of time."

"I didn't expect that the county magistrate would solve the problem by just throwing this medicine bag into the well. It's really impressive!"

"That's right, our county magistrate, that's really amazing..."

"..."

Zhang Bao has long been accustomed to these things and remains calm.

The characteristic of common people is that they are easy to be guided and used well, which is a great advantage.

There is nothing to say about being taken advantage of by others.

Inside the prison at this time.

Zhang Bao came in carrying some food and a jar of wine.

Ever since Huang Chenzhi was imprisoned.

After asking the yamen servant for a book and a solitary lamp.

So he sat there and watched.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head and saw that Zhang Bao had walked in.

Stand up quickly.

"Brother Huang, I'm here to apologize to you."

Zhang Bao said as he sat down.

For Zhang Bao, what Mr. Huang said and did at that time was all for his own consideration and had no malicious intent.

After all, he is just a pedantic scholar.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious."

"If adults hadn't dealt with it decisively, the county government would definitely not have returned to normal so quickly."

"Perhaps what adults do is the right thing to do."

Huang Chenzhi said calmly.

In the past few days, Huang Chenzhi was in the prison, hearing about the situation outside, and thinking a lot.

He found that he was more cautious than courageous.

That's fine in normal times.

This shortcoming is not very obvious.

The more critical the situation, the more often the decisions one makes are not so correct.

This is something worthy of his own reflection.

"I'm very happy that you can think so. If there is a big quarrel between the two of us, the people will still suffer."

Zhang Bao said slowly.

"To be honest, when you first came here, I really couldn't stand you."

"You are young and don't have any experience. It's really unconvincing."
