Qi Jue looked up at the sky and said, "Where are the people infected with the plague isolated?"
"In the Yizhuang in Xicheng, your Highness can rest assured that as long as there are symptoms, we will take them to the Yizhuang as soon as possible and isolate them from normal people. In this way, we can avoid large-scale infections in the city."
Zhu Tongpuan said this as if their government had done something extraordinary.
The living people have no money to buy food. Even if they are not infected by the plague, they will starve to death.
The infected people were taken directly to Yizhuang, and no one alive had a bite to eat. Even if Qi Jue did not go to Yizhuang at the moment, he could imagine how the people isolated in Yizhuang lived in dire straits.
day.
But Qi Jue didn't say anything, he just gave Zhu Tongpuan a cold look and said, "Lead the way."
Zhu Tongpuan was frightened by Qi Jue's eyes. When he heard this, he didn't react for a moment, "Ah? Your Highness... are you going to go to the government to rest? Please come here..."
Before he finished speaking, Feiyu hit him on the back of the head, "You have a human brain and can't understand people's words. Your Highness means to go to Yizhuang!"
Obviously, Zhu Tongpan did not expect Qi Jue to go to Yizhuang in person. In fact, he had never been there himself, but he knew with his feet what kind of ghost place it was.
Because of the food issue, the black gauze hat on his head was almost lost. If he went directly to Yizhuang, wouldn't the head on his neck be saved?
Thinking of this, Zhu Tongpuan rolled his eyes, pretended to be in pain, and covered his stomach, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much. I must have eaten something bad accidentally. Your Highness, please forgive me. I feel really uncomfortable in my stomach."
, it’s not too late to go there tomorrow…”
Before he finished speaking, a long sword was placed on his neck.
Even Feiyun, who was always slow, noticed Zhu Tongpan's little thought and poor acting skills, and put his sword on his neck.
"You feel uncomfortable in your stomach? How about I dig it out and see what's going on?"
Zhu Tongpuan's calves trembled for a moment, and he immediately returned to normal, "Ha, haha, Your Highness, is it strange that your stomach suddenly doesn't hurt anymore? Your Highness is going to Yizhuang, right? I will do this for you, sir."
lead the way!"
This guy surnamed Zhu has a smooth tongue and no skills at all, but he is quite cunning.
However, if such a person falls into Qi Jue's hands, there is only one result. If he dares to play tricks, first check whether the head on his neck is tight. If he doesn't want to die, he can continue to play tricks.
Soon, we arrived at Yizhuang in Xicheng.
As the name suggests, Yizhuang is a place where corpses are temporarily stored, and most of the time, unclaimed corpses are stored.
Many corpses may have rotted into bones, and no relatives have come to claim them, so there is a strong smell of corpses in Yizhuang.
Now, Yizhuang has been vacated to temporarily isolate those infected with the plague. Before entering Yizhuang, strange and desperate cries were heard from afar.
Amid the cries, waves of stench filled the air, making people feel sick in their stomachs just by smelling it.
Zhu Tongpuan still wanted to fight to the death, "Your Highness, there are people infected with the plague in Yi Zhuang. You are rich and valuable, so you should not go in. If you are accidentally infected, the hundred heads of this official will be infected."
There’s not enough to chop!”
"If the plague is not controlled, do you think your head can still stay on your neck?"
Zhu Tongpuan trembled, and for a moment he did not dare to speak anymore. He calmly followed Qi Jue into Yizhuang.
As soon as I entered, I saw a lot of people lying on the ground, lying motionless.
Occasionally, there were a few people staggering around, but most of them were sitting on the ground, staring blankly in one direction. If their eyelids hadn't moved occasionally, people would have thought they were all a group of corpses.
There are still people crying in despair. Most of these people who are crying have just been taken to Yizhuang for isolation not long ago, and those who are sitting on the ground empty and waiting to die have all been isolated in Yizhuang for a while.
They knew they couldn't escape and no one would come to save them, so they gave up all hope of life and just waited for death.
Before coming in, Qi Jue ordered everyone to put on veils and gloves. These would have been prepared before coming to Tongzhou.
There has been no cure for plague since ancient times, and veils and masks only play a certain role in isolation. Not having direct contact with patients can reduce the risk of infection.
"Go and see if the person lying on the ground can be saved."
Qi Jue gave an order, and some soldiers went over to check on the people who fell on the ground.
"I'm out of breath."
"This one is not alive anymore. The body is already stiff. I am afraid it has been dead for a long time."
"This man is still breathing, come and help him!"
After carrying the man onto a wooden board, the soldiers called for the doctor, but no one answered.
Qi Jue looked around, "Why don't you see the doctor?"
Just as Zhu Tongpan was about to make up an excuse, he heard a commoner say in despair and powerlessness: "We have finished running long ago. When we come here, all we have to do is...wait to die!"
"The government asked us to come to Yizhuang. On the surface, they said they would treat our illnesses. In fact, they asked us to wait for death in Yizhuang."
"Those who come here will have no chance of getting out. We all will die."
Those who could still speak out desperately complained about the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the government.
Zhu Tongpuan's head was covered with sweat, "Your Highness, I really don't know anything about these things they said. I can swear to God that I asked the government officials to bring people to Yizhuang.
It's a doctor's job, and he pays a lot of money for it.
You losers, how do you do things? Why did the doctors run away and no one came to inform me? Anyone who works in Yizhuang should go back and get thirty big boards as a punishment! "
Qi Jue's eyes fell on him, with a hint of coldness, "Since Zhu Tongpuan is so aware, there is no need for me to waste my words. Let's count the number of people who died in Yizhuang. Death
After counting the number of people,
Double the number was converted into a plank, and it fell on the heads of all officials in Tongzhou City. Remember, it was every official. If anyone dared to escape the plank for any reason, he would directly take off his official uniform. Do you understand?
?”
How many people died, double the number of blows and spread them to each official, this would cost half a life!
"Your Highness, wouldn't this be too..."
Qi Jue glanced over with a cold look, "Why, Judge Zhu Tong has finished his official career and no longer wants the official uniform?"
"What your Highness is punishing is that the lower officials and others failed to fulfill their duties as parents and officials, which led to the current situation. The lower official will ask all officials to receive the punishment!"
Qi Jue added lightly: "Remember to inform Magistrate Pei that he will receive twice as many slaps as you."
"Your Highness, Governor Pei is still ill, just in case..."
Qi Jue sneered: "If he doesn't survive, it will be regarded as his atonement for the people who died tragically!"
