[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

The layout of the capital is divided into four layers: Miyagi, Imperial City, Inner City, and Outer City. The plague is now mainly spreading in the Outer City, and has not affected the Inner City for the time being.

But the plague can infect animals and spread through feces. If the troubles in the outer city are not resolved in time, people in the inner city will be infected next.

Therefore, when Jing Zhaoyin reported the plague, the emperor ordered the whole city not to allow pigeons to enter and leave, and vigorously caught and killed rats.Recently, it has begun to capture animals fleeing from the inner city.

In the outer city, there are four cities in the southeast and northwest. Most of the people living in the south city and the north city are entertainers and poor people. The flow of people is the most mixed, and the worst plague is in the north city.

In the east and west cities, some officials or wealthy businessmen from poor families lived, and there were only a few servants infected with the plague in these two cities.The masters do not tread on cheap ground, and there is almost no infection.

Mizusawa ordered that those who did not have the plague and its aura symptoms were classified as Zone A, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.And those who do not have symptoms themselves, but their neighbors have symptoms, need to move to District B uniformly.The area where the remaining plague patients are located is naturally Area C.

The inner city and the outer city are strictly guarded, and no movement of people is allowed.In the three areas of A, B, and C, only one entry and exit opening is allowed between each area, and only materials are allowed to pass through.

Materials need to be sterilized with spirits or moxa for an hour before they can enter and exit. They need to be pulled by a cart with wheels and a rope, and no one is allowed to touch them directly.

As soon as the order is issued, the entire outer city starts to move.Bingmasi's men hung five layers of thick tarpaulins at the intervals required by Mizusawa, up to the same height as the roof.

While the soldiers were hanging the tarpaulins, the officials responsible for the plague at the Mizusawa and Tai Hospital moved their offices to District B.It's not that dangerous here, but you can also directly see the condition of the sick people in District C.

While Mizusawa was communicating with the director of the Bingma Division, he suddenly heard a dispute coming from the front.

The director recognized that this was the Xia family who often worshiped him, and was stopped by Mizusawa when he was about to step forward to stop it.Mizusawa knew there was bound to be a conflict, but he never imagined that the conflict would happen first in the oilcloth in the armored area.

Wanting to find out what was the reason, they stood in a corner not far away and listened to the quarrel between the Xia family and the soldiers.Listening to it, the director's face turned green, and Mizusawa also looked strange.

The Xia family happened to be on the boundary line between the A and B districts, and the tarpaulin happened to cover the back door of the Xia family.The housekeeper stood in front and scolded the soldiers. Not far behind, a three or four-year-old girl was being held by the nanny to watch the fun.

The nanny would still quarrel with each other from time to time, saying things like "This oilcloth blocks our back door so it's inconvenient to get in and out", "Our girls like to play in the backyard, it blocks the sun like this", and so on.

Mizusawa really didn't know what to say, the tarpaulin was just flush with the roof and couldn't block much sunlight.Besides, which is more important, life or convenience?

When the Xia family said "Be careful, I'll tell your Master Zhao", Mizusawa looked at the director next to him who was wiping cold sweat with a half-smile.

Although it is the default in private, it is always not beautiful on the bright side.Mizusawa didn't say anything at this moment, and motioned to the director to settle the Xia family.

Steward Xia was a little confused when he saw Director Zhao's dark face, so he was reprimanded before he could speak.Following Director Zhao's direction, he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Shui Ze standing there.

This is the only princess who has held real power since the Queen's Era passed, especially she has a strong relationship with the high-ranking consort who holds military power.

Some despise princesses who are women but do not guard the inner house, but merchants like them dare not preach in person.Even the master of the Xia family is not worthy of carrying shoes in front of the princess, let alone he is just a servant.

Apologizing to the director in fear, the housekeeper hastily saluted in the direction of Mizusawa, then closed the door of Xia's house tightly, and hurriedly reported the terrible incident to Master Xia.

Mizusawa sees that the matter has been resolved and will not stay any longer. There are always some strange people in the world, and he is not in the mood to explore their hearts one by one.

He was still having a headache about District C. The plague was an extremely severe infectious disease. One person was infected and the whole family was infected.The onset is fast and violent, and there is no one to take care of the sick.

Besides... Once the tarpaulin between District B and District C is hung up, the people in District C may be extremely dissatisfied.Normally, they would not be afraid, but at this time they were suffering from the plague, and if soldiers went there, they would inevitably get sick.

When we reached the boundary between District B and District C, the tarpaulin hadn't been hung up yet.The soldiers of Bingma Division did not dare to make decisions without authorization, they only dared to wait for the person in charge to give an order before acting.

Looking at the people receiving the medicine in the doctor's camp with clear eyes, Mizusawa said to the director next to him: "Go to the warehouse and get a large amount of tulle, and use a few more layers of tulle to hang it here."

The director was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, what is the use of tulle? It is better to hang it with oilcloth."

Mizusawa shook his head, "Hanging up the oilcloth, the common people can't see us, maybe they will think that we all evacuate and leave them here to fend for themselves. Although it's not clear to hang up multiple layers of tulle, the faint shadows can also be seen." enough."

Turning his gaze to the tents of the doctors, "I'll get as much wormwood and spirits as possible, and spray them a few times a day. At present, the main thing is stability. You take my token and go quickly."

The director left disapprovingly. The oilcloth is only dense enough to block the germs, and changing to tulle is just a psychological comfort.I wantonly criticized Mizusawa's "ignorance", completely forgetting who proposed to hang the tarpaulin in the first place.

The sick people stayed away from them, wondering what they were doing.They had noticed the tarpaulin in the soldier's hand a long time ago, but they were afraid that the pimple disease on their bodies would spread again, so they just watched from a distance.

Thanks to the food in the granary and some effective decoctions, they still have some confidence in surviving.After all, this place is at the foot of the emperor, and the emperor will not stand by and watch.

Almost half of the doctors in the capital gathered in the doctor's camp here, and they would feel extremely at ease when they smelled the smell of medicine coming out of here every day.

After waiting for a while, the director brought all the tulle that could be found in the warehouse.Seeing the soldiers hanging up the tulle, the common people became agitated, and the crowd began to panic.

The man in the crowd thought of his son who was seriously ill and was dying on his bed and his nephew who was in District B, and asked loudly with a trembling voice: "Are you trying to trap us here to death!"

The common people were instantly led away, looking in horror at the soldiers who were putting on airs there and Her Royal Highness the princess who was clearly giving orders.Mizusawa stepped forward to the shelf, and the soldiers stopped.

Kneeling into a ball in a panic, the common people cried and begged: "I beg your highness to be reborn, please beg your majesty to be reborn—"

The whole scene became chaotic in an instant, from soft crying and begging for mercy to a sudden sentence: "Come on! Everyone can live if you rush out!"

The voices of the people obviously paused, many people got up from the ground and wanted to rush out, and many unsuspecting people were pushed to the ground by the noisy crowd.

Everything happened within tens of seconds, before Mizusawa could react, he saw the people rioting.Subconsciously hacked at the shelf beside him with his saber, "All stop for this hall."

The people's footsteps slowed down, their faces full of fear.Mizusawa obviously saw that the expression of the man in the head was not right, others were terrified and frightened, but he was terrified and resigned to death.

This is extremely abnormal for a commoner who is suffering from the plague and is eager to flee for his life.Besides, he was the one who took the lead in questioning just now, and he was the one who rushed out first.

He rushed towards Mizusawa, Mizusawa was the first to react and dodge, but the soldiers behind him were a little slow to react and were still caught by the man.

The guards around him instantly stepped forward to restrain the man, tied him up and threw him on the ground not far away.A few guards were led into the tent by the doctor, and Ai Xun poured alcohol on them again.

They can't leave the tent yet, and they have to stay for three days without any abnormalities on their bodies before they can leave.If there is an abnormality on their body, they can only stay in area C.

The common people didn't dare to say anything when they saw what happened, they knelt on the ground in silence.The silence made them even more frightened. Someone here murdered the royal family, and they might be implicated as well.

"If you want to trap you to death, it's not gauze that's on the shelf. This palace knows that you are suffering from the plague. The marshal has already gone to the next provincial capital to call in doctors and medicinal materials. Our royal family will not give up any of our people."

Seeing that everyone's emotions seemed to be more stable, Mizusawa said in a cold voice: "But now, someone actually murdered the royal family in broad daylight.

Does any of you know this person's information?If you say it outright, the hall will not implicate innocent people.But if no one really knows, you are all accomplices of thieves. "

Among these common people there is a man's neighbor, and he doesn't want to be such an early bird.Besides, they are all neighbors in the neighborhood, if he started this problem, he would not be able to live here.

He just shrank back and backed away, hoping that no one would see him.He feels that the law does not blame the public, as long as they don't say anything, the princess will definitely not do anything to them.

Shui Ze glanced at Director Zhao, and he shouted knowingly: "Murdering the royal family will be executed Ling Chi, the nine families will be imprisoned, and the party will be cut in half, and the three families will be imprisoned."

The people downstairs panicked instantly, and someone pointed to the man's neighbor and said, "I just saw the two of them talking together, they must know each other!"

All eyes were on him, and he said shyly, "I... Caomin don't know, I just saw a man come over and say a few words to him, I don't know anything!"

Just when Mizusawa was about to ask what was going on, the man suddenly vomited something similar to watermelon spoilage, and he convulsed twice before falling to the ground, lifeless.

The people numbly stayed away from the place where that person was, and Shui Ze was also protected from this place.Seeing that there was nothing left to ask, Mizusawa dismissed the soldiers and ordered the soldiers to continue putting on airs.

The man who assassinated Mizusawa refused to let go, so Mizusawa called the household registration officer to obtain his household registration, and looked through his information one by one.Mizusawa smiled sarcastically when he saw that the only son on the record was infected with the disease, and also saw that there was still a nephew who was not infected with the disease in District B.

"Since he refused to let go, and indeed incited the people to intentionally murder the palace, the evidence of the crime must be handed over to the clan's government. Mr. Zhao, he is suffering from the plague and cannot move. We will deal with it cheaply after the clan's opinion comes."

Mizusawa was not interested in the mastermind behind the scenes, there were only a few people on his left, even fewer people who couldn't see him and even dared to attack him.But the fox always leaks his tail, he is not in a hurry.
