After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Since this matter concerns the God and many powerful people in the capital, Wang Zhong naturally cannot make a decision.

As soon as the God left, he immediately rushed back to the palace to report the news to Emperor Yong'an.

After hearing this, Emperor Yong'an was furious and threw an inkstone at him:

"Asshole! I told you to guard Huimin Pharmacy over and over again, and this is how you did it!"

Wang Zhong was hit so hard that his head was covered in blood, but he did not dare to refute. He just kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, calm down! I was not thoughtful enough. I didn't expect the God to care so much!"

"You can punish me however you want, but please don't get yourself hurt by being so angry!"

When Emperor Yong'an heard these loyal words, his expression softened a little.

After all, Wang Zhong had followed him since he was a child and had made countless contributions to him through life and death over the years.

Naturally, he would not easily call for fighting and killing.

Besides, deep down, he didn't think this was a big deal.

After all, the powerful and wealthy all value their lives, and it is not excessive to want priority treatment.

But the key point now is that Lord Du'e cares, and the people also care.

Then he has to show an attitude!

After thinking for a long time, he ordered:

"For every family that did not follow the rules this time, the person who came up with the idea will be punished with forty strokes of the cane and fined one thousand taels of silver to be used for plague relief. The highest-ranking official in the family who failed to control his relatives will be fined one year's salary!"

"Wang Zhong, you will also be punished with forty strokes of the cane!"

"Everyone, take them all to the Huimin Pharmacy for execution! I want to supervise it personally!"

He had to give an explanation to the people and the God of Du'e about this matter, but he couldn't destroy the city walls for such a small matter.

Those who could make Wang Zhong turn a blind eye were either nobles with long histories of achievements or high-ranking officials in the court.

These people are either his loyal followers or have deep roots.

He couldn't really disappoint them.

The really harsh punishment was to make them push a scapegoat out of their home to receive the punishment, and then beat him severely, and then fine some silver to the people who had contracted the plague.

It would be enough if we could explain it to the gods and the people.

Although Wang Zhong was going to be beaten, he was not removed from his position as chief eunuch, and he was extremely grateful:

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

The decree was quickly passed on to all the prefectures.

Not long after, the people from various prefectures that violated the regulations were tied up and sent to Huimin Pharmacy.

The people waiting here were originally confused about this scene.

Not long after, thousands of imperial guards surrounded Emperor Yong'an's carriage, passed through the back door of Huimin Pharmacy, and arrived outside the main entrance of Huimin Pharmacy.

The imperial guards strictly separated the common people from the emperor's carriage to protect the emperor's safety.

When the imperial guards arrived and read out His Majesty's decree, they all applauded when they learned that His Majesty was angry because these dignitaries had occupied places for intensive care treatment and that he had issued an order to punish them.

Looking at the bright yellow carriage in the distance, the people shouted excitedly:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

The scapegoats sent from various prefectures were placed on the prepared punishment benches and began to be executed.

After a while, he was beaten and screaming, covered in blood.

The people are not clear about the identities of these people.

The unruly sons and masters of the powerful families were beaten badly, and the emperor also fined these families money to subsidize them. Everyone was very satisfied with this.

After these people returned from treatment, they told their relatives and friends about Emperor Yong'an's love for the people.

Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied with the effect of his action.

It is a good idea to win the hearts of the people by sacrificing some of the minions of the powerful.

However, from the time he arrived to the completion of the execution, such a long time had passed, but the Lord of Du'e still did not show up.

Emperor Yong'an had a simple incense table set up in front of the divine mist formation in the medicine garden, and placed offerings such as livestock, fruits, etc. on it.

He personally stepped forward and lit three incense sticks, bowed respectfully towards the incense table, and said loudly:
