For the safety of Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo, Yun Miaomiao took Qingyun alone and set off for Ruizhou City.
In Ruizhou City, the situation of more and more people began to become serious. Qingyang was busy with Magistrate Zhao. He didn't know when the end of the epidemic would be over and when the plague in Ruizhou City would be under control.
Even with the measures given by Yun Miaomiao, the rate of plague spread in Ruizhou City has been slowed down, but it has not been controlled. A large number of people are still infected with plague.
Magistrate Zhao has been so worried that he hasn't had a good sleep for several days. Seeing that the condition of nearly half of the people is getting worse and worse, he really can't sleep anymore.
"Sir, look who's coming."
The sound came in before the people arrived. Magistrate Zhao was sitting at the entrance of the hall having breakfast. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Butler Zhao walking in with someone.
Yun Miaomiao stepped in and said loudly, "Godfather."
Magistrate Zhao and Qingyang both dropped the chopsticks in their hands and looked at Yun Miaomiao in surprise, "You, why are you back?"
Qingyang's eyes lit up, "Girl, Qingyun, you... Ruizhou City is so dangerous now, why don't you come back at this time..."
Aren't you jumping into the fire pit?
"We found a prescription to cure the plague and came here overnight. This is the prescription. You go and get the medicine and brew it. Let the people with milder disease try it first. People with more severe disease may have to increase the dosage of the medicine. We will do it first.
Help those with mild illness."
People who are seriously ill don't know how much medicine to take. People with mild symptoms will get better quickly after taking the medicine. Let the people with mild symptoms get better first, so that there will be more helpers and manpower.
As soon as County Magistrate Zhao heard that there was a prescription for the medicine, he quickly took it from Yun Miaomiao, looked at it, and ordered the housekeeper.
"Housekeeper Zhao, go and call all the doctors here, and then go and collect all the medicinal materials in the city here. This will be used as a place to boil the medicine for the time being. When the medicine is ready, you can ask the doctors in the house to
The servants are going to call people with mild symptoms over to drink medicine, do you understand?"
Butler Zhao was also very excited, "I know, I know, sir, I will make arrangements right away."
After that, the person had already walked out. Yun Miaomiao also specifically asked, "For people with mild symptoms, drink this medicine twice a day and they will get better in two days. However, when I entered the city just now, I heard that half of the people in the city
It's all very serious. This prescription may require a higher dosage. I'm not a doctor and I don't know how to adjust this dosage. I still need your help to keep an eye on the rest."
Even if Yun Miaomiao knew something, she would not dare to say it easily, otherwise she would expose herself.
She remembered something and said again, "There are people in the city who have not been infected with the plague, but for safety reasons, these people should drink a bowl to prevent them from getting infected, otherwise they will wait until all the infected people are cured.
If those who were not infected become sick again, wouldn't it start all over again? Let's just kill the plague at the source, so that we don't have to waste time caring for these patients later."
What Yun Miaomiao said is correct. If everyone is cured and those who are not infected get sick again, wouldn't it happen again? This will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
"I understand." County Magistrate Zhao knew what to do. He looked at Yun Miaomiao and saw the bruises under her eyes. He said with a distressed tone, "Go back to the yard and have a good rest. Your room has been cleaned all the time. The remaining
Leave the rest to me and Qingyang."
Yun Miaomiao was afraid of delaying the plague in Ruizhou City, so she traveled all night. Now she was very tired. The prescription had been delivered. Magistrate Zhao was here, so she didn't need to worry about the rest.
"good."
Yun Miaomiao took Qingyun to rest, while Magistrate Zhao took the prescription to the doctor to discuss how to adjust the dosage, while Qingyang was outside directing the patients to receive the medicine in order.
Beijing.
Dongqing's face was full of exhaustion as she knocked on the door of the Gu family. The concierge was a little surprised to see the person coming.
"Dongqing? Why is it you?" The concierge remembered that Dongqing and his party were kicked out by Gu Fengqing. He didn't expect that after such a long time, Dongqing would come back on his own.
Seeing the surprise on his face, Dongqing adjusted her expression and said, "I'm looking for the young master. You go and tell the young master. Dongqing knows that he was wrong. Come back and admit your mistake to him."
The concierge looked at him in surprise. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he fell silent for a moment.
"Holly, the young master has kicked you out. None of us dare to plead for mercy. You also know the young master's temper. You are no longer a member of the house. I'm afraid the young master will not come out to see you."
Moreover, Gu Fengqing seems to have become a different person since he came back. He is no longer as gentle to his servants as before. Now he sells his servants without understanding. Dongqing and his party were the first wave. Later, Mrs. Gu
I begged for love several times, but Gu Fengqing turned her back without any courtesy.
Even for the Su family's marriage, Gu Fengqing came directly to the door, handed over the engagement contract, and threatened that if the engagement was not broken off, the Su family girl would have no choice but to come in as the Gu family's concubine. The Su family had never been so angry, so she wrote on the spot
After signing the divorce letter and canceling the engagement, the farce calmed down.
After Mrs. Gu learned the news, she fainted and became seriously ill. After that, she went to talk to Gu Fengqing about marriage. Unexpectedly, no one in the capital was willing to have her daughter related to the Gu family anymore and refused.
Mrs. Gu.
No one in the capital was willing to marry a girl into the Gu family. Mrs. Gu really had no choice but to give up.
As a result, Gu Fengqing's reputation became famous in the capital, and no one dared to mess with this giant Buddha again.
People outside felt that Gu Fengqing should not be offended. The servants of the Gu family were in contact with him every day. If they accidentally offended this master, they were sent out directly. Now, only the people serving in Gu Fengqing's yard are left.
Qingmo was so angry that no one else dared to take a step closer to Gu Fengqing's yard.
Dongqing nodded, "Just pass a message for me. Whether the young master sees me or not, that's my fate. I won't thank you for your kindness."
He also stuffed a few coins into the porter's hand. The porter raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and said with a smile on his face, "Easy to say, I will help you pass a message now. Just wait. If the young master really doesn't see you,
Then I have no choice, it all depends on your luck."
"I know." Dongqing nodded and watched the concierge leave.
After the concierge left, Dongqing waited for a while and saw him walking out with Qing Mo, who had a cold expression on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Qing Mo's voice was devoid of warmth. He frowned, "Is it possible that you can't even get a bite to eat when you go out?"
Dongqing's eyes moved slightly, with a bitter look on her face, "Brother, I didn't know what to do and disobeyed the young master. It was because I was blind. Life was really hard outside. I really had no choice. I came back to beg the young master to take me in when I was desperate."
"The young master said that as long as you kneel down and kowtow three times, he will see you and give you this opportunity." Qing Mo said lightly.
When Dongqing heard this, she knelt down without any hesitation and kowtowed three times. Upon seeing this, Qingmo led the person in, still saying slanderous words before leaving.
"Logically speaking, you are the ones kicked out by the young master. If everyone is like you, where is the majesty of the young master? Don't pray that the young master can keep you. Meeting you is already a kindness."
The concierge looked at the cowering Dong Qing and sighed. This Qing Mo was used in front of Gu Fengqing. No one in the house dared to go against him. He had to give him three points of face. Now he is even more wanton and reckless.
.
Looking at Dongqing's appearance, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back. Even if she meets Gu Fengqing, she may not be able to stay.
Qing Mo took Dongqing into the courtyard and closed the door directly. As soon as the door was closed, he quickly pulled Dongqing and walked inside.
"Why did you come to my door so rashly and didn't ask anyone to bring me a message so that I could send someone to pick you up? The young master is waiting for you inside. Come in quickly." Qing Mo changed his previous indifference and said,
He put on a concerned look.
Dongqing immediately replied, "The matter is urgent, and I can't do anything about it. I'm afraid something big will happen if I delay it for a long time. Don't worry about me. I walked along the way and didn't find anyone following me. Go and prepare some food for me. I'll starve to death."
I’m done.”
Qing Mo led the person to the door and said, "Then you go and see the young master first, and I will prepare something to eat for you. Since you left, there has been no one to serve you in the yard, and I have not prepared anything for you."
, you really have to starve to death."
Dongqing nodded, waved goodbye to Qingmo, turned and entered the house.
Inside the house, Gu Fengqing was reading a book on the soft couch. As soon as he walked in, Gu Fengqing laid her eyes on him.
"Why did you return to the capital so rashly if you didn't protect her by her side?" Gu Fengqing put down the book in his hand and asked.
Dongqing quickly took out the thing from her chest and explained quickly, "There is a plague in Ruizhou City. It is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster."
Because Yun Miaomiao and the others were in Ruizhou City, Gu Fengqing paid more attention to the movements in Ruizhou City and sent the five most capable people around her to her side. Man-made disasters could be avoided, but there was really no way to avoid natural disasters.
So when a riot broke out in Ruizhou City, Gu Fengqing was not that worried. Later, when it was said that there was plague, he was also worried. He also found many doctors in the capital to find a way to solve the plague problem, but the plague problem was not there yet.
Solved, Holly is back.
"What's going on?" Gu Fengqing immediately walked down from the soft couch.
Dongqing said with a sullen face, "We followed Miss Yun from Ruizhou City to resolve the riot, and learned about the plague from the refugees. In addition to Ruizhou City and surrounding small towns and villages, there have been several cases of plague.
All the people in the village were gone. By the time we found out, it was already too late. These were the evidence given by Dean Ying, saying that someone colluded with people from Fanbang to instigate rebel villagers to cause trouble in Ruizhou City in a village near Ruizhou City.
, the villagers were not fooled, so those people became so angry that they infected all the villagers with the plague. The people in those villages were afraid of death, so they heard the rumors and fled to Ruizhou City."
"And now Ruizhou Academy has been burned down in order to protect the people of the town. The people behind it should know that Dean Ying has this evidence, so they sent a killer there just to kill Dean Ying and get this evidence back.
, Dean Ying gave this thing to me and asked me to give it to you, saying that you must have a way."
Dongqing's words were confusing, but Gu Fengqing knew that the matter was not simple, and her expression gradually became serious.
He looked at Dongqing and said in a deep voice, "Tell me carefully, what exactly is going on?"
Dongqing started from the beginning, telling Gu Fengqing every detail.
Gu Fengqing's face became darker as he listened, and the package in his hand was opened, revealing a booklet with a ledger, which was obviously the evidence that Ying Feichen said.
Inside were the Magistrate of Liang in southern Hubei, Magistrate Wang, and some grain transactions between foreign countries. Gu Fengqing suddenly remembered that Magistrate Zhao had said before that he would levy a grain tax.
"You have a good rest here while I go out." Gu Fengqing stood up and handed the account in his hand to Dongqing, "Put this thing away."
Qing Mo came in with food and saw Gu Fengqing coming out of the room with a gloomy face, "Young Master~"
"Watch the yard, no one is allowed in." Gu Fengqing said these words, and the person disappeared from his sight.
Qing Mo entered the room and saw Dongqing sitting on the ground without any image, and asked, "What's wrong with the young master? He looks very angry."
Dongqing curled her lips, "What else could it be? The people behind it are so stupid that they don't care about the lives of the people. Look at it."
Qing Mo looked at the account book in his hand suspiciously. After picking it up and looking at it, his whole body felt cold and he took a breath.
"Is this, is this why you came back?"
Dongqing swallowed a mouthful of shortbread, "Yes, otherwise what would I do if I came back? Your shortbread is not as delicious as Miss Yun's."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The young master looked bad just now. He couldn't be seeking to settle a score with the emperor."
Dongqing shook her head, "No, I guess I'm just venting to someone."
Xu Shaoqing was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, when suddenly a shadow enveloped him, blocking his light.
"Who is blocking the young master's light? You don't want to die~"
His words were stuck in his throat before he finished speaking.
"Gu Fengqing, what are you doing here?" Xu Shaoqing sat up straight and looked at the man in front of him tentatively. If it weren't for the aura on Gu Fengqing's body, he could have driven him out, "I tell you, here
But Jingcheng, don’t mess around.”
Gu Fengqing kicked him and said, "Get up and go somewhere with me."
"Where to go?" Xu Shaoqing felt that it must not be a good place, "I won't go."
Gu Fengqing ignored his shouts, and the two of them picked it up and walked directly out of the Xu family yard.
Xu Shaoqing was going to Ruizhou City to take the exam before, but because Gu Fengqing was going back to the capital, although he didn't remember Yun Miaomiao, he didn't know why he deceived Xu Shaoqing into taking the exam, so Xu Shaoqing took the exam in the capital.
I passed the exam and although I didn't get the first place, fortunately my ranking was good and I was a little scholar.
Xu Shaoqing cursed all the way, and finally followed Gu Fengqing to an alley that few people visited and entered a shabby courtyard.
Xu Shaoqing glanced at the defeated courtyard with disgust, "What are you doing?"
Gu Fengqing directly picked up his collar, dragged him into a room, and threw him inside.
Xu Shaoqing looked at the deserted environment and covered his clothes, "Let me tell you, I am an upright man and I don't like that kind of thing. If you dare to mess with me, my mother will not let you go."
Neither yours nor the Xu family can do it."
Gu Fengqing rolled his eyes at Xu Shaoqing, then reached out and touched a cabinet on the wall to find the mechanism. After a while, a door appeared on the wall behind Xu Shaoqing, with an entrance inside. It was obviously a dark room or something like that.
Xu Shaoqing realized that Gu Fengqing had brought him here for other matters. He had overthought it just now and suddenly became embarrassed. He coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
"If you had told me what you wanted to do, I wouldn't have misunderstood you."
"Go in."
Xu Shaoqing looked at the dark place and swallowed, "Why don't you leave first?"
Gu Fengqing glanced at Xu Shaoqing coldly and walked in, followed closely by Xu Shaoqing. The inside was not as dark as he imagined, but rather very bright.
"What place is this?" Xu Shaoqing asked.
After a while, the two of them walked to the front and heard someone yelling and cursing. For some reason, the voice sounded familiar to Xu Shaoqing.
Gu Fengqing walked over, and the man in black handed him a whip, "My territory."
Xu Shaoqing took a look at the environment that was not gloomy and mysterious, and secretly complained, you only like a place like this, who would like a place like this.
"Let me tell you, I am the son of the Gu family, and my mother is the most favored person of the Gu family. Please let me out quickly, or I will look good to you."
Xu Shaoqing looked curiously at the twisted person on the ground, "Who is this person?"
Gu Fengqing did not answer, "Ruizhou Academy was burned down, and this guy had a hand in it, didn't you know?"
"What?" Xu Shaoqing's eyes widened, thinking he heard wrong, "What did you just say?"
Did that mean what he heard?
Ruizhou Academy is gone or burned down?
What about his uncle?
Gu Fengqing did not repeat, but waved the whip in his hand a few times in the air. The people on the ground stopped subconsciously, without any arrogance as before.
He became quiet, but Xu Shaoqing couldn't calm down. "Why should it be burned? Does he have a grudge against the academy or against my uncle?"
He was not a fool, and his voice was only loud enough for Gu Fengqing and himself to hear. Xu Shaoqing understood that if Gu Fengqing wanted to kill the other party, the other party would have been a corpse long ago, but now he still has to be locked up here to torture him
, obviously still want to put the person back.
"Because they wanted to frame Magistrate Zhao and ask him to take sides. The people of the imperial concubine faction really did everything they could. They didn't care about the lives of the people. First they encouraged the people to go to Ruizhou City to get food, and then they asked people to go to Ruizhou City to get food.
He stabbed him in the back and colluded with Fan Bang to spread the plague to the villages around Ruizhou City. People in several villages died. Magistrate Liang and County Magistrate Wang in southern Hubei were his people. In order to protect the town, your uncle
Man, you took refuge in a cave. You must have received a letter from him, asking you to find food. Later, his people knew that your uncle had evidence, so they wanted to kill people and silence them. In order to protect the safety of the people, he removed the academy
Burned."
Gu Fengqing spoke calmly, but Xu Shaoqing's whole body was already swept by anger.
