I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Jun Huailang's high fever has been going on for three days in a row, but it hasn't improved at all.

The longer the fever lasts, the easier it is for people to become unconscious.On the third day, Jun Huailang already felt that his brain was on fire, making him unable to distinguish east from west, north from south, and sometimes hallucinations.

He had to barely stay awake for a few quarters of an hour to get the food and soup that Lai Jinbao put outside the screen, and after drinking the medicine, he listened to the officials outside to report to him on the situation in the city.

Fortunately, they responded in a timely manner. Although the epidemic still spread in the city, they gathered the sick people in one place in the first place.Since the Jinling Mansion temporarily blocked the dam, it used all the gold, silver, grain and grass for the epidemic, so there was no large-scale riot in the city.

But now, there are still many people getting sick every day, and some officials in Jinling Mansion are also infected with the disease.Yesterday, a few febrile servants were brought out from the Governor's Mansion. Even though there was no disturbance in Jinling Mansion for the time being, people were still panicked and everyone was in danger.

Some people even began to look for some earth prescriptions, and secretly found someone to practice magic at home.After one or two families started doing it, more people followed suit.

As more people practiced spells, rumors arose.

Why does Jinling have an epidemic inexplicably?That's because Jinling has a malevolent star this year.The evil star is meant to restrain parents and hinder brothers, and wherever it goes, disasters will arise suddenly.

Originally, when he was in Yanyun, Yandi was inexplicably defeated and fell into the hands of the Turks.Fortunately, there was a real dragon in Chang'an, so there was no big trouble.Now, the evil star came to Jinling, and the disease came naturally.

The rumors were so rampant that they almost didn't say directly that Xue Yan, the king of Guangling, was responsible for the disaster.

However, the rumors didn't spread for long before they were suppressed by Yongning Gong.

At this time, Xue Yan had already reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Sure enough, as he expected, when they arrived in Shandong, they immediately caught the local officials by surprise.They rushed very fast, and when they arrived in Shandong, they were two days earlier than the usual rapid march.

At that time, the materials had just arrived in Shandong, and the prefect of Shandong was busy transporting the grain and grass on the car to the treasury in Shandong in the name of rest and inspection, and filling the car with straw.

When Xue Yan arrived, he happened to arrest one of them, and after notifying the governor of Shandong, they arrested them all, and personally sent the officials who escorted the supplies, together with the memorial, to Chang'an overnight.

He ran and killed two horses overnight, and finally at dawn, he tied up the corrupt officials to the Golden Luan Hall, and handed them over to Emperor Qingping together with the memorial in front of all civil and military officials.

Sure enough, Emperor Qingping was furious.

Immediately, he issued an imperial decree in court, and sent all the officials to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Taifu Jiang to try them together, and he was determined to find out all the mastermind behind the scenes.

This can be regarded as directly handing over the officials of the Xu family's faction to the Jiang family.

After finishing all these, Xue Yan didn't stay long, so he rode his horse to rush back.

Emperor Qingping tried his best to keep him.Originally, he sent Xue Yan to the south of the Yangtze River because he was worried about Duke Yongning.Now that there was an even bigger mess, Emperor Qing Ping regained his strength for a while, and realized that he had been put together by the Jiang family.

That being the case, he was naturally no longer willing to let his son run thousands of miles to the disaster-stricken place.

"You stay, and by the way, interrogate the prisoner you brought back for me." Emperor Qingping said.

Xue Yan glanced at Jiang Taifu who was neither humble nor overbearing.

This kind of high-ranking literati who came from the imperial examinations, although a little difficult and troublesome on weekdays, still likes to form gangs to eliminate dissidents.But at this time, this kind of person is also the most reassuring.

A person as high and powerful as Jiang Taifu would never be in any danger because of this incident, otherwise, the Xu family would have brought him down long ago.

Similarly, he will not show favoritism in the slightest, and will not make Xue Yan worry in the slightest.

"Father trusts Jiang Taifu, and my son doesn't need to say anything more." Xue Yan folded his fists and bowed, his voice was a little hoarse from traveling all night. "Jiangnan is in a hurry. Now that the official in charge has gone wrong again, I am really worried that my son will stay in Chang'an."

Of course, he has nothing to worry about about Jiangnan's mess.But when he thought that Jun Huailang might take advantage of his absence and not eat or sleep well, he was worried.

When Emperor Qingping heard the words, his eyes were red with emotion.

This morning, Xue Yan came back suddenly, bringing back such a big case.If it wasn't for Xue Yan's concern for the people when he was in Jiangnan, and he was eager to go north to meet the food and grass, he wouldn't have broken through their embarrassment and corruption. If there was a big problem in Jiangnan that endangered the national economy and the people's livelihood, then what face would he have to face it? See ancestors?

Fortunately, Xue Yan allowed Jiangnan to keep the life-saving food and money.

However, because of this incident, all civil and military officials were silent, and no one dared to touch this hot potato that was originally a natural disaster, and now the Xu family has been folded into it.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Qingping felt a little difficult for a while.

The disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River is so urgent, it is really difficult to pick out someone who is in danger.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xue Yan stood up again.

Now, Emperor Qingping was not worried at all.

Compared with civil and military officials, he still trusts his son more.And among his sons, the one he used most easily was Xue Yan.

So, without even thinking about it, Emperor Qingping immediately ordered Xue Yan to take full responsibility for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and he would personally escort the food and grass back to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief.

Immediately, the court was shaken, and the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, all thinking in their hearts.

King Guangling personally captured the corrupt officials this time, and now he has full power to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as he does not make mistakes this time and handles the floods properly, then the credit and reputation will be high.

Originally, there was a fourth prince in Chang'an who could compete with him, but now, no prince can surpass him in the limelight.

For a while, everyone had their own calculations and calculations.

Xue Yan had no time to pay attention to their thoughts.He clasped his fists and pushed, thanked him lightly, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, a eunuch sent an urgent report.

"Report! Your Majesty! Jinling hastened to report that a epidemic has broken out in the south of the Yangtze River, and the situation is urgent. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

Xue Yan's footsteps stopped.

Immediately afterwards, those amber eyes burst out with a sharp light, and they swept straight at the eunuch with a look of hostility.

The eunuch trembled all over, feeling that the King of Hades had strangled his throat.He glanced cautiously at Xue Yan, and saw those sharp eyes staring straight at the Ji Zuo in his hand.

In that gaze, blood suddenly appeared.

-

No one has ever tried to ride a horse from Chang'an to Jinling for three days.

But on the third day, Xue Yan's horse had already rushed to the river to the north of Jinling City.

For three days in a row, he did not sleep or rest, rushing from day to night.Even Jin Yiwei, who was as well-trained as he was beside him, couldn't bear it at all, not to mention the imperial physicians and famous doctors in Beijing on the carriage behind him, who had long been beaten to the point of being sick.

Xue Yan didn't seem to respond at all, and just kept on going.

More than half of the Jin Yiwei stayed in Shandong, responsible for escorting food and grass, and the rest followed Xue Yan and brought the imperial physician back to rescue the disaster.

They changed horses for several rounds along the way, and they could barely maintain the speed, but people couldn't bear it.

However, even so, none of them dared to say much.

Because they all saw that the state of the master these few days was extremely frightening.

He didn't sleep for several days and didn't feel tired, but his eyes were red and bloodshot.

He didn't say a word all the way, just covered his head and walked on the road, even though Jin Yiwei was full of dull elders, he saw some meaning for a while.

When we got to the side of the Yangtze River and waited for the ferry, a guard in Jin Yi bumped into the team leader beside him, and said in a low voice, "Hey...you think the girl the lord likes is in Jinling?"

The squad leader immediately glared at him and silenced him.

But right after, he looked at Xue Yan.

I saw Xue Yan with his back to the crowd, staring at the Yangtze River without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through the wide and surging river.

The little captain nodded slightly, and the other party's subordinate's doubts were taken for granted.

This morning, at dawn, Xue Yan entered Jinling City.

The city was filled with terror at this moment, even though it was broad daylight, there were no pedestrians on the street, and a bitter medicinal smell wafted in the air.Only a team of masked officials knocked on the door one by one, took away the money at the door of each house, and then gave them rice and grain.

——This is also the method that Prince Yongning came up with two days ago.

On a solemn and quiet street, there was only the sound of Xue Yan and his party's horseshoes, which sounded all the way from the city gate, passed the Jinling Mansion, and rushed into the Governor's Mansion without stopping at all.

In the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, Duke Yongning and Prefect Shen were discussing matters.

How many people have a high fever every day, how much medicine and how much food will be distributed, these must be calculated every day.Now that the situation in the city is urgent, the two of them are too busy to go around all day long, and they can't rest for a few hours every day.

And at this time, Shen Liufeng was also here.

"Don't mess around with me!" Shen Zhifu said angrily. "Now that the epidemic is so severe in the city, where do you want to go?!"

Shen Liu was once in the limelight and had an argument with his uncle: "You let me go to Yangzhou, and I will be able to find that genius doctor again!"

Shen Zhifu was in a hurry: "What are you messing around with! So many famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River are now in Jinling, and the imperial doctor will be sent from the capital soon, why are you making trouble?"

Duke Yongning sat aside, holding the account book in his hand, without saying a word.

If you look closely, you can see his red eyes and tightly pursed lips.

His own child was infected with the epidemic, so he was naturally the most anxious and distressed.

But Jun Huailang issued a death order himself, and no one was allowed to see him.Duke Yongning knew that his son was worried that his disease would spread to others.He was originally a high-ranking official, and he was in contact with Jinling's most core officials, but if he got infected, Jinling would lose even a single person in charge.

Therefore, Duke Yongning could only bear with himself, waiting for them to deal with the epidemic in Jinling and find an antidote to save his life.

Mr. Yongning was anxious, but he also knew that what Shen Liufeng said about the miracle doctor was also extremely groundless, and it was completely unreasonable.

But Shen Liufeng argued hard.

"Where am I making trouble!" he said loudly. "Huailangdu has been ill for a few days, if the burning continues like this, wouldn't it burn everyone..."

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

When they looked out, they saw Xue Yan standing there obsequiously.

His robe was not messy, but his eyes were bloodshot and his lips were chapped.He stared closely at the few people in the room, with his hands hanging by his sides, the backs of his hands were full of veins.

For a moment, there was complete silence.

There were guards and horses parked outside the door. Just now, Xue Yan rode a horse all the way through the courtyard and rushed to the meeting hall.

His eyes swept over the crowd, although they didn't move, they looked like wild beasts locked in a cage.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on Shen Liufeng and spoke.

"You just said, what happened to Jun Huailang?" His voice was terribly hoarse. "Where is he."
