Xie Chengyin's journey had quite a few twists and turns. When he left the capital, his father was extremely reluctant to leave him and delayed him for several days before letting him leave the capital.
"I heard that you found the lost disaster relief money?" Xie Chengyin, who was following Su Xubai, suddenly said.
Su Xubai was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at Xie Chengyin in surprise: "How come His Highness is so well-informed?"
Xie Chengyin smiled, then looked at Su Xubai: "How is Li Shufei now?"
Li Shufei was Mr. Li, the magistrate of Huizhou. Because he had made great achievements in Huizhou in his early years, Xie Chengyin had a profound influence on him. However, Su Xubai didn't know how to talk about this matter. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Some things still matter."
Let’s talk about it after His Highness arrives in Huizhou!”
Xie Chengyin's eyes darkened slightly, knowing that things here in Huizhou might not be that simple. He didn't speak any more and just followed Su Xubai.
The journey back to Huizhou became much smoother. However, Xie Chengyin had already been traveling for several days. Su Xubai was not worried about his health, so he walked slower. He only traveled during the day and found an inn at night.
Stay for a while.
On this day, after finally resting, Xie Chengyin was talking to the casual imperial doctor about the plague: "This plague has spread to almost the entire Jiangnan, and refugees have poured in to more or less every town. Now the imperial court
A strict ban on travel has been issued, but the plague is still spreading!"
"This time the plague is different from usual ones. In the past, every time there was a disaster, there would be more or less epidemics, but most of the time the symptoms were urgent and severe. But this time, the symptoms were not urgent.
, often lies dormant for five or six days before erupting, and the symptoms after the outbreak are only typhoid fever, so it is easy for people to relax their vigilance, which leads to the rapid spread of the plague!" The imperial doctor stood in front of Xie Chengyin and whispered.
Xie Chengyin frowned. Apparently he had heard these words many times. He had always been a very decisive person, so what he wanted was how to control the plague, rather than listening to their explanations.
Su Xubai knew from Xie Chengyin's expression that he was already a little annoyed. Seeing that the imperial doctor could not say anything else for a long time, Su Xubai said: "Since we have said it is an epidemic, naturally every time it is different
I'm sick and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If I use medicine indiscriminately, it will hurt people's lives."
After listening to Su Xubai's words, the imperial doctor reacted and said quickly: "Now, after this period of time, we found that simple fumigation of mugwort can actually control the continued spread of the plague, and combined with some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, basically
The scope of the infection can now be controlled!”
Although Xie Chengyin still didn't hear the answer he wanted, it was much better than before, so he nodded: "I know, we will arrive in Huizhou in a few days. Since the first plague was in
What happened in Huizhou, we still have to find the root cause, and you will have to work harder then!"
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? This is our job!" the doctor said quickly.
It happened that Xie Chengyin was about to take a bath, and Su Xubai walked out with the imperial physician. The imperial physician looked at Su Xubai beside him, remembered his previous reminder, and said with a smile: "Master Su, I have been traveling around Huizhou these days. It's really difficult."
Hard!"
Su Xubai just smiled: "We are all doing things for the court, so there is no hard work!"
There are almost five imperial doctors here, and almost all of them who are skilled in medical skills from the imperial hospital are here. They had long expected that the plague would appear after the floods in Huizhou, but no one thought that this epidemic would happen
Spread to the entire Jiangnan.
After all, our court has been standing for many years. This kind of disaster will definitely not be the first time we encounter it. The court still has many methods to prevent and control the plague after the disaster. Therefore, they did not imagine that the plague would spread so badly this time.
of.
Doctor Zhang was good at treating epidemics. When he was in Yangzhou, he took the opportunity to see the sick people. Although this plague was dangerous, it seemed to be very different from the previous emergencies. After meeting Su Xu
When he was young, he wanted to ask about the situation in Huizhou, but he never found the opportunity.
"Master Su, if you are not in a hurry to rest, why don't you come to my place and sit for a while? I want to know what the current situation in Huizhou is like!" Doctor Zhang looked at Su Xubai, his eyes full of worry.
It's expectation.
Dr. Zhang's medical skills are very good. His ancestors were famous doctors. It was only in his father's generation that he was invited to serve as imperial doctors in the palace. His sons are very good at medicine and have specializations in their professions. Each of them has his or her own characteristics.
I have been studying the areas I am particularly good at for many years and have achieved great results.
"The situation in Huizhou is not optimistic. If Dr. Zhang wants to know the situation, I will naturally tell you everything I know!" Su Xubai said and walked down, "I am also a little hungry after running all the way.
Why don't I ask the waiter to bring some food so that we can chat while eating!"
Doctor Zhang naturally would not refuse and followed Su Xubai to his house.
In the past few days, Su Xubai was on the road almost all the time. When he occasionally took a break, he only ate a piece of dry food to fill his stomach. It was rare to sit down and eat at this time.
"Although the flood in Huizhou is serious this time, the imperial court has prepared enough disaster relief money at the first time, which should be enough for Huizhou to control the disaster!" Doctor Zhang held chopsticks, but he couldn't eat. The closer he got to Huizhou, the surrounding areas
The life of the common people became more and more miserable. Doctor Zhang felt a wave of discomfort in his heart as he looked at it.
Su Xubai glanced at Imperial Physician Zhang, and then suddenly said: "I remember that Imperial Physician Zhang and Master Li, the magistrate of Huizhou, are classmates!"
Doctor Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "We used to study in the same academy. Although we rarely met, we were indeed classmates! It's just that I haven't seen him since he went to Huizhou as a businessman!
"
"If the disaster relief is not good, Doctor Zhang should know what kind of punishment he will face!" Su Xubai raised his eyes and looked at Doctor Zhang with a very cold look.
Doctor Zhang was speechless, and after a long time he said: "The disaster relief is not good... If it were anyone else, I would not dare to say anything. If it were Mr. Li, I dare to vouch for it. He must have tried his best to protect the people of Huizhou. I believe that Your Majesty and His Highness
He can also tell right from wrong!"
Su Xubai hung the chopsticks in his hand for a long time, and finally put them aside. He looked up at Dr. Zhang and suddenly asked: "Doctor Zhang, in your opinion, what kind of person is Mr. Li?"
