Chapter 154 The County Lord of Yi County
Gu Yiyi looked at him.
The person who came here was already in his forties, and in this era, he was considered to be old.
There were wrinkles on his face, and although he was smiling, his face looked a little sad.
Gu Yiyi thought about it and made sure that she had never seen him before asking.
"you are?"
"I am the county magistrate of Yi County, Zhang Shunyao."
"The county magistrate of Yi County?"
Gu Yiyi felt that the name was unfamiliar and she didn't know where Yi County was.
Just when he was about to ask more questions, Li Zheng came from far away in an ox cart. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he couldn't wait to get off the car.
"Oh, Mr. County Duke! You are in a hurry and came so fast. Why didn't you greet me in advance? If I hadn't received news from the officers and soldiers guarding the town, I wouldn't have known you were coming to our Pingshan Town!"
Li Zheng was respectful and polite in front of him. He must have a higher official position than him.
Seeing this, Gu Yiyi frowned and invited the two people in first.
She went to pour a cup of hot tea for the two of them, and then asked after sitting down: "The county official is here specially. He must have something important to do. May I ask what it is?"
County Duke Zhang didn't talk nonsense, but got straight to the point.
"I heard that Mrs. Gu is very good at treating illnesses. Because of you, the whole Pingshan Town can return to normal, so I came here in person this time just to ask Mrs. Gu to help us in Yi County."
Gu Yiyi thought about it for a while, and Li Zheng added specifically.
"Mrs. Shen, this Yi County is far to the south. Mr. Zhang traveled a long distance for half a month to come to our Pingshan Town. It was not easy along the way."
"It's just... didn't the imperial court send people to the south to provide disaster relief earlier? Why has it been so long without any effect?"
Li Zheng was a little confused, while County Duke Zhang looked helpless.
"Our Yi County is not really a southern city. When those towns in the south were affected by the disease, the disease had not yet appeared in us. Later, those towns fell one by one and we were implicated.
But the court only sent people to designated towns for disaster relief, and our Yi County was not included, as was the surrounding counties. "
"A few days ago, I heard that several small towns in the south were sealed off and no one was allowed to pass, and patients from several big cities were thrown into the small towns.
The town wanted to report it to the higher authorities, but was declined. I am worried that patients in our Yi County will also be thrown in, and it will be out of control. I heard that Madam Gu was having a consultation in Pingshan Town, so I rushed over quickly to ask Madam Gu to help us. "
"Ms. Gu, although our Yi County is not big, it has a large population. It is the most populous town near the southern county. The annual taxes paid to the court are also the largest among the same counties.
If an epidemic spreads rampantly in our county, I'm afraid it will be reduced to a deserted city before we can wait for the court to provide disaster relief! We also begged Mrs. Gu to think of a way to help us! "
Duke Zhang petitioned for the people, but in desperation he knelt down to Gu Yiyi.
She couldn't bear this kneeling.
He quickly helped him up: "Your Excellency, I am just a civilian woman, and I am not as capable as you think. Pingshan Town is responsible for the epidemic. That is because of the full cooperation of Mr. Li Zheng and all the people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do so quickly." effective."
"Ms. Gu, as long as you are willing to help us in Yi County, we will definitely cooperate with you as much as Pingshan Town did."
It's not that Gu Yiyi doesn't want to save people, it's just that this rescue will delay her own business. If she offends those dog officials and puts their family in danger for no reason, it won't be worth it!
Since a large number of patients were thrown into the small town, and all attempts to report them were declined, it must have touched the selfish interests of some people, so they were blocked at all levels.
Maybe those who were providing disaster relief were still thinking of giving good news. If they couldn't save those who were seriously ill, they would deal with them completely...
Gu Yiyi figured this out easily.
If those heartless people really want to deal with the infected people thoroughly, then if she comes forward, it will be equivalent to making enemies.
This went against Gu Yiyi's original intention of just making money and living a good life, so she still needed some time to think about it.
Just when he was thinking about talking to County Official Zhang, Shen Changfeng came back at this time.
Li Zheng greeted: "Master Shen is back."
Shen Changfeng stepped into the courtyard holding the door frame, and Gu Yiyi subconsciously stepped forward to hold his hand.
Although she knew that his eye disease would not affect his walking, she was still worried that he would bump into her.
When the hands were clasped together, the warmth was transmitted, making Gu Yiyi feel an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
County Duke Zhang was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Changfeng, and then asked tentatively: "May I ask, Master Shen, if you know Master Shen Yuan?"
Shen Changfeng was slightly startled, and his eyes suddenly flashed with light under the cloth.
Shen Yuan was his dead brother.
But he just said: "I was once a school boy in the residence of Master Shen Yuan, and I grew up with him since I was a child."
"That's it!! I saw that the young master and Mr. Shen Yuan have similar temperaments and have the same surname, so I asked one more question. I was saved by Mr. Shen Yuan in the capital, and I am grateful and always thinking about it. If Mr. Shen Yuan hadn't saved me, I would have been saved. I was afraid that I would lose my head while being beaten and imprisoned.
It's a pity that I don't have the ability to save Mr. Shen Yuan's family. "
Speaking of the extermination of the Shen family, County Duke Zhang felt extremely sad.
From then on, Shen Changfeng suddenly realized that the person in front of him could not be the person named Zhang Shunyao.
This person was an upright official, originally a local leader, but he was innocently involved in the chaos. His brother had pleaded for him in front of him, and he was acquitted because of a letter he wrote.
I didn’t expect that in a small place like Jiangjiacun, there would be such a connection.
It's just that Shen Changfeng didn't say these words, but Gu Yiyi on the side had already guessed something.
Apparently, this County Duke Zhang and the Changfeng family are related.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Zheng stated briefly and concisely the purpose of County Duke Zhang's special visit, when Shen Changfeng suddenly asked him.
"How far is Yi County from Luocheng?"
After hearing about Luo City, Gu Yiyi realized that this was where Lin Ziyan was currently located.
"It's not very far. Luo City is the first big city in the south, but the situation in Luo City is not very good now."
Shen Changfeng heard all his words and said nothing.
Gu Yiyi could see what he was thinking, so she didn't refuse or agree immediately.
Instead, he was polite to Mr. Zhang.
"Mr. Zhang, you have traveled thousands of miles to come here. I can still understand your intentions, but I also have a family to take care of and my own things to do, so how about you allow me some time to think about it?"
County Duke Zhang hurriedly bowed: "Madam, I can't thank you enough for considering it."
"I'm willing to wait for news about Madam. It's getting late now, so I won't bother you."
Zhang Xianggong was very measured and knew that it was useless to stay longer, so he left first.
After he and Li Zheng walked out of the yard, Gu Yiyi looked at Shen Changfeng and asked.
"Husband, do you also think things are not simple?"
"Xie Anze, that bitch, I'm afraid it's going to kill someone."
