Seeing that everyone was avoiding him, the man's face turned red, his hand holding the stick was tightly squeezed, and he explained helplessly: "I'm not sick, I'm very healthy. Don't listen to that woman's nonsense.
"
Hua Yanxi said: "You are not a doctor, how can you be sure that you are in good health?"
"Don't you know whether I am healthy or not? I am strong and can carry a hundred kilograms of sandbags at one go." The man said and patted his chest vigorously.
Hua Yanxi shook her head: "Whether you are healthy or not does not depend on whether you have strength. Then look at the people in front of you, they just look sick? But don't you think there is something wrong with them and you want to kick them out?
"
"What's the matter? I haven't come into contact with anyone who is sick. They live together. They eat from the same pot and sleep together all day long. Who knows if there will be any problems."
Hua Yanxi sneered: "You can't tell who the patient is, so how do you know whether you have been in contact with them or not? For the sake of everyone, of course you also need to drive them out, right?"
The man started to argue again, but the people who were traveling with him looked at him strangely, as if he had been diagnosed. Such looks made him very uncomfortable.
Hua Yanxi sighed: "It's my fault that I didn't consider everyone's feelings before. Everyone is right. For the safety of other people in Yongcheng, these people really shouldn't stay here anymore."
The crowd was overjoyed, but a little disbelieving, and said doubtfully: "Can you make the decision in this matter? Don't fool us."
Hua Yanxi turned to look at Zhao Kuo who was standing aside.
Zhao Kuo was confused at this moment.
Weren’t you here to dissuade me? Why did you agree?
Where can these people go after they leave the city? It's freezing here. If they go out, they will freeze to death. Also, once these people go out, the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce will never lend them any more food.
what to do?
But looking at the look in Hua Yanxi's eyes, Zhao Kuo still said: "This is the fifth prince's concubine, the current emperor's daughter-in-law, and the imperial envoy for this disaster relief. She can naturally make the decision."
Everyone nodded, and someone else asked: "Then when do you plan to get these people away?"
Hua Yanxi looked at the person who spoke: "Then when do you want them to leave?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, looked at the people around him subconsciously, and then said: "Of course, right away."
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Of course it's okay, but as I said just now, all the suspected patients among you will have to go out of the city together. Do you have any objection?"
Naturally, these people had no objections and agreed wholeheartedly.
So, Hua Yanxi immediately pointed to the people who were the most severely beaten at the beginning: "And you, you, you, you were so close to these people when you were just beating up, and now you are suspected of being sick and need to leave the city together."
Hearing this, several people whose names were called by Hua Yanxi were isolated again. The common people who had shared the same hatred just now abandoned these people without hesitation, and no one spoke for them at all.
Among these seven or eight hundred people, many are members of the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce like Zhao Quan, but most of them are the people of Yongcheng, and they have always been worried about their own safety.
"If these people want to be driven away, then not only them, you who have just been so close to them must also leave with them. After all, you were together just now, but you breathed the same air with them.
Hua Yanxi said seriously: "If you go back now, other people will definitely isolate you. In order to reassure them, you should go out of the city with these people."
When everyone heard that they were unwilling, why did they start shouting, and repeatedly explained that they had not been in contact with those people.
Hua Yanxi spread her hands: "I want to believe you, but it was so chaotic just now. You couldn't tell which one of you rushed in front to hit someone. How do you know who of you touched and who didn't? Moreover, even if someone didn't touch just now,
Arrived, but a group of you have been standing together for most of the day. If you are really infected, then everyone is probably infected. For the safety of the people in Yongcheng, you should also be more conscious, right? After all, you are here for this trip
, it’s also for the entire people of Yongcheng, right?”
These words were obviously used to criticize them.
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions began to become unnatural, but most of them were angry.
Anyone who can be incited to cause trouble must not be a good person and start threatening others.
Hua Yanxi was not threatened, but said: "I really want to believe you, but what do you think will happen to those of you who have been in contact with them after these people are driven out of the city on suspicion of infection?
treatment?"
"There are seven or eight hundred of you. If I ask seven or eight hundred of you to leave the city, you will make trouble and feel aggrieved. But just now, I asked one person to leave the city and a dozen people to leave the city. You can accept it. In the same way, in
In this Yongcheng city, which has no less than 300,000 people, do you think the accusations of seven or eight hundred of you are useful? Does anyone care about your grievances?"
"Even if I don't let you leave now, you will still be isolated when I look back. You should be very clear about this, right?" Hua Yanxi began to be moved: "You don't want to go out, then your
Will your family, friends, and people who come into contact with you be afraid of you? Also, will others drive your relatives and friends out of the city?"
After listening for so long, Ah Ying finally understood his wife's meaning and feelings, and now she started to lie again.
And these people were obviously fooled again.
These people began to panic. They never thought that they originally wanted to drive away the trouble, but they did not expect that they would eventually become the ones being driven out.
This change of status made it difficult for them to adapt, and those who had just clamored to evict people began to be afraid.
Their ancestors have lived here for generations, their roots are here, if they leave, where can they go.
Is it possible to wander around with these homeless people and be looked down upon by others?
But if they don't leave, then as the fifth prince said, their relatives and friends will also be implicated.
Human nature is like this. When you occupy the commanding heights, you always want to stand on the side of justice and criticize. But once your identity changes to the insignificant side, you still hope to be understood or even treated favorably.
Hua Yanxi sighed: "Actually, this infection is not as scary as you think. Although it is contagious, it is a matter of probability based on physical reasons. We have already controlled it very well and we have screened them one by one.
However, among these tens of thousands of people, there are only two hundred patients, and they have been isolated and treated. Moreover, the treatment is very good, and they will all be able to recover in less than a month. As long as everyone is more patient,
With a little more understanding, we can overcome difficulties together."
"If you are willing to believe us, then put down your weapons and let's work together. But if you all believe those so-called rumors and scaremongering, then it will only amplify the rumors, and the consequences are probably what you can imagine."
"Look, no one in Yongcheng has been infected so far, right? If it was really that terrible, then those of us in the government who face them every day should have gotten sick long ago, right? Don't worry, the court will
I will never give up on anyone in need."
It has to be said that Hua Yanxi's attack was very effective. After some thought, they all put down their weapons.
"Fifth Princess, we believe in you and we will get through this difficulty together."
"Yes, we believe you."
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Then please explain the situation to some folks who don't understand the situation when you go back. We have controlled the disease and have developed medicine. Tuberculosis is not invincible, as long as everyone works together.
.”
"Work together to defeat tuberculosis!" Everyone started shouting slogans in unison.
It seems that he has turned from an opponent to a supporter.
After all, if they don't support them, they will become victims, and no one wants to become a victim for no reason.
As a result, these people dispersed one after another and began to tell the people around them about the current situation, so that they should stop being alarmist.
Seeing that the situation that was about to escalate was resolved by the woman in front of him in a few words, Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of admiration.
"Fifth Princess, you are so powerful. If you do this, the people of Yongcheng will no longer object." Zhao Kuo said excitedly.
Ah Ying looked at Zhao Kuo's ignorant look and thought to himself: "You are so powerful if you haven't seen our wife fooling the emperor."
Hua Yanxi looked down at Zhao Quan who fell on the ground: "This matter has been solved. It's time to solve another matter. Take him back to the Yamen and I will interrogate him personally."
"yes."
"Record all the losses caused by the smashing and going back to the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce for compensation."
"Fifth Princess, I'm afraid the Chamber of Commerce won't agree, right?" Zhao Kuo frowned and said with some embarrassment.
Hua Yanxi stretched out her foot and kicked Zhao Quan at her feet: "Don't we still have him in our hands? When will we pay compensation and when will we let him go? Isn't his father in charge of the Chamber of Commerce? How can he be willing to let his son eat in prison?
Prison food?”
"What you are saying is that I will have someone calculate the amount and send it to his father later." Zhao Kuo had never felt so proud.
In the past, they always nodded and bowed to the Chamber of Commerce. Now, it's time to stand up and become the masters.
