"what!"

This news shocked everyone in the room. Chen Ming slapped the table and hurriedly said to Village Chief Qiao: "How can the government know this news?"

Although the condition was a bit tricky, it would not be regarded as an epidemic, and they also took corresponding measures to treat it.At this time, the government added a bar horizontally, and the situation changed completely.

If the government directly determined that the people in their village had the disease, they would seal off the entire village and not allow anyone to leave the village.

If the disease can be cured by simply sealing off the village, then everyone will be happy.However, people in the government often would rather kill by mistake than let them go. If the disease cannot be treated in time, the worst outcome may be waiting for them.

Thinking of the ending they might face in the future, everyone couldn't help but panic.

"Village chief, what should we do?"

"Village chief, we can't let the government isolate us."

"Yes, if this is quarantined, wouldn't we be unable to go out of the village again?"

"No, the government can't treat us like this."

"We didn't get the plague, why should we be isolated."

……

A few people in the room suddenly discussed that the government officials don't take the lives of these villagers seriously. Doesn't this isolation directly determine that their illness is an epidemic.

Village Chief Qiao frowned and said nothing. Seeing that everyone was agitated, he had no choice but to comfort him first: "Everyone, don't worry. There is still room for maneuver in this matter. I'll go and see what their plans are."

"Yes, the government can't just say quarantine." Chen Ming stood up, "Old Qiao, I'll go with you."

"Row."

After some discussion, the two gave each other comforting looks, and then they left the room together.

Several households in the village near the entrance of the village are hiding in their homes, and some boldly look through the windows at the group of government servants who are standing fiercely at the entrance of the village.

There is only one road out of Qiaotou Village, and there is a bridge at the entrance of the village leading to the outside, and the group of yamen servants are standing at the bridge at the moment, directly blocking the way out.

More than [-] yamen servants came to the yamen, and the leader was a middle-aged man in blue cloth clothes. At this moment, he was squinting his eyes and looking at the small village.

Among the dozens of villages under Yunzhou City, Qiaotou Village is a relatively small and remote mountain village.There are about 120 households in the village, and the end of the village can be seen at a glance.

The middle-aged man was quite dissatisfied with running all the way to this odd place, but he didn't dare to neglect the order of the magistrate.This plague is a major event, if it spreads if it is not dealt with early, it will be a loss.

Since they got the tip, they rushed over in a hurry, in order to kill the epidemic in its cradle.

A tall man beside him was giving orders to a group of yamen servants. More than [-] yamen servants obediently listened to the orders. go to each other.

"Hold on."

As soon as Village Chief Qiao and the others came out, they saw the servants heading towards the villagers' homes with knives in their hands, and they immediately roared nervously.

The middle-aged man turned his eyes to Village Chief Qiao, sized him up for a while, and then raised his voice and said, "I am the magistrate of this county. Someone reported that your villagers in Qiaotou Village have an epidemic. My lord specially sent me to investigate and deal with it. If the investigation It is true, you will all be quarantined, and we will also seal off the village and prohibit you from going out, so as not to bring the epidemic to other places."

Village Chief Qiao and the others came over in a hurry, but before they got close, the yamen servant drew a long knife in his hand and pointed at them.

"My lord, how could someone in our village have the disease? You see, all of us are in high spirits. If we really got the disease, how could we come out to see you?"

Village Chief Qiao bowed to the middle-aged man and said respectfully and politely.

"Whether you have the epidemic or not, we will judge for ourselves." The middle-aged man said coldly, and then a middle-aged man carrying a medicine box came out from behind, "Dr. Symptoms, isolate immediately."

"Yes." The middle-aged man replied, and then glanced at Chen Ming behind Village Chief Qiao, "Doctor Chen is here too."

As soon as Chen Ming saw the other party, he recognized that it was a doctor from the Mu family medical center. The grievances between the two families were incompatible from the top to the side. At this time, the doctor brought by the yamen turned out to be the Mu family. , Chen Ming's heart skipped a beat.

"What a coincidence, Dr. Mu is here." Chen Ming calmed down and replied calmly, "It's really hard for Dr. Mu to come here for an inspection."

"It should be, it is the great honor of our Mu family to be able to work for the government." The doctor surnamed Mu said politely and alienated, "Master County Prime Minister, a powerful old doctor like Doctor Chen is here, so even if there is an epidemic It won’t be a disaster.”

Having said that, people can easily hear a bit of irony from it. The man surnamed Mu looked at Chen Ming bluntly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, evoking a mocking smile.

"Oh, is that so?" The county magistrate asked casually, "Then Doctor Chen is here to treat the epidemic for the villagers of Qiaotou Village?"

Village Chief Qiao and Chen Ming looked at each other, and the doctor surnamed Mu looked at them calmly.

At this time, Village Chief Qiao explained: "Lord County Prime Minister, Dr. Chen was invited by the grassroots to treat a few villagers in the village who had rashes. It is not easy to feel the rash. It is no wonder that Dr. Chen brought a lot of medicinal materials. By the way, help people in our entire village get rid of poison and strengthen their bodies."

"Rash?" The county magistrate glanced at Village Chief Qiao twice with sharp eyes, and said with a sneer, "You really know how to joke, the report we received said that there are a large number of villagers in your village who have contracted the disease. And now you are trying to deceive the disease, trying to endanger the people of the entire Yunzhou City!"

The county magistrate shouted loudly, and the yamen servants aimed their knives at Village Chief Qiao and the others.

"Whether there is an epidemic or not, you can find out if you check." The county magistrate winked at the doctor surnamed Mu, "Check, let me check room by room, and anyone who is slightly infected will be treated in isolation. "

With an order, the servants started to act one after another.

Chen Ming and Village Chief Qiao wanted to stop them, but they were confronted by the shining blade and dared not act rashly.Several villagers behind them showed worried expressions when they saw this scene.

Chen Jing followed the villagers back to the houses of the villagers who had just been isolated. If these villagers were discovered, there was no guarantee that the yamen would deal with them directly.

Seeing those villagers lying on the mat with ugly faces, Chen Jing felt a little heavy.

"Little Doctor Chen, let's move the person quickly."

A villager stepped forward and said to Chen Jing, and Chen Jing nodded, "Be gentle."

This house is already the most remote place in the village, and there is no good place to move it, except that there is a small thatched hut at the end of the village that is used to pile up waste firewood.

This room is actually not suitable for patients to stay temporarily, but for the safety of these people, they had to make a bad move.

Just as the people were transferred and settled down, a few yamen servants with knives rushed in.

"What are you doing?" the leading yamen servant scolded, seeing a few villagers lying on the ground, he waved a yamen servant to come forward, and when they saw the rotten wounds on the villagers, they were all startled.

"Quickly, go and report to the county magistrate, and found several villagers suffering from the epidemic." The leading yamen servant said as he retreated out of the house.

"Little Doctor Chen, what should we do?"

Seeing the yamen servant go to report, the villagers asked Chen Jing worriedly in a low voice.

"Don't panic." Although Chen Jing said this, his heart was still beating, and he was very restless.Especially the wound on his own hand also started to itch, he didn't dare to scratch it, so he could only endure it secretly.

The yamen servant who went to report soon brought people over, and the doctor surnamed Mu went directly into the house, checked it briefly, and immediately reported to the county magistrate: "My lord, these people are already terminally ill. If we don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid more people will be affected." people."

The county magistrate frowned, and waved his hand, "You guys, carry him out."

"My lord, where are you taking him?" Village Chief Qiao asked anxiously.

"Of course we dealt with it directly. Could it be that they can't deal with it after they infect all of you." The county magistrate said impatiently, and several government officials stepped forward bravely.

"Wait a minute." The county magistrate snorted, pointed to Chen Jing and the others in the room, and said, "You guys carry it."

Chen Jing clenched his fists, walked over silently, and worked together with other villagers to lift the seriously ill villager.

Doctor Namu looked at them, but suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, the county magistrate frowned impatiently, and Doctor Mu explained: "My lord, these little brothers should be in contact with these people often, the grass-roots are afraid that they will also be infected, why don't the grass-folk first Check it out."

The county magistrate thought for a moment, then nodded.Dr. Mu went directly to Chen Jing's side, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull up his sleeve. Seeing the blisters on his arm, he said clearly: "Sure enough, my lord, these people are also infected with the disease. Straight away."

Seeing those blisters, the county magistrate frowned in disgust, "Take care of them together."

"My lord!" Chen Ming immediately panicked when he heard this.

"Quickly check everyone one by one, and deal with all the infected ones." The county magistrate ordered impatiently.

At the entrance of Qiaotou Village, on the bridge.

Mu Yunjing was riding on horseback, looking down at the two yamen servants standing in front of him.

Li Chengyu stood side by side with him, also looking coldly at the two blocking the way.Behind them were two fellows who met on the way, driving a carriage full of medicinal herbs, and they looked at the yamen servants with worried faces.

Only Xinghe kept his face blank, unable to see any expression.

"Who are you?" one of the officials asked.

"I'm a doctor from the Chen family's medical clinic, and I'm here to deliver medicinal materials." Mu Yunjing said coldly, but he was thinking about whether Uncle Chen and the others are well.

People from this yamen appear here, I'm afraid the situation is not good.

Thinking this way, he suddenly heard a cry from the village.

Mu Yunjing's heart trembled, he tightened the reins in his hands, and shouted at the two yamen servants: "I've offended you." After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed in.
