Opposite the entrance hall

The temperature in the morning is a bit low, orange is rising in the distance, mist is floating in the sky, dew is hanging on the branches, leaves and flowers, birds are singing one after another in the forest, and everything looks peaceful and quiet.

After Dou Yuanliang fell into the water and died, Cui Hao, as the governor of Longxi, immediately seized the main power, and began to act in the name of Dou Yuanliang's murder of the servant of the household department. However, many officials in Xiangzhou were dismounted in a day's work, and all the officials in Xiangzhou were in danger for a while, and they didn't dare to breathe. They wished to die to prove that they had nothing to do with Dou Yuanliang.

The Dou Mansion was surrounded by government officials and soldiers, although the maids and servants inside did not know what happened, they were panicked, and they were more careful in speaking and doing things than before.

The flood has not yet been resolved, the mess left by Dou Yuanliang has not been cleaned up, and there is a sudden epidemic. All these things come together, which is very depressing.

Ji Si hadn't slept all night. He squinted his eyes and rested for a while when the sky was bright, and was woken up by the sound of the wind hitting the window. He rubbed his brows and tried to open his mouth to make a single sound. Sliding is still a little painful, but it is much better than yesterday.

He exhaled foul breath, pulled his shoes, casually put on his robe and walked slowly to the door, raised his hand and opened the door to both sides. People also heard the sound and looked back, and the two met their eyes like this.

"Master Ji." Qi Ran spoke out first.

Keith nodded.

Perhaps seeing doubts in his own eyes, Qi Ran explained again: "Sorry for the trouble, but I just have something important to discuss with the lower officials."

Hearing what he said, Ji Si turned slightly to signal people to come in and out, then waved to the girl who was standing outside the door with a tray, then wrapped her robe tightly and followed Qi Ran back into the house.

That girl is a girl from the Dou Mansion, guessing she heard something, knowing that the Dou Mansion is not the same as before, she was a little afraid of the two of them, her fingers couldn't stop trembling when she was serving Ji Si to wash, especially changing the dressing for his wound Suddenly, he used too much strength, and the scarred wound oozed blood. Ji Si was listening to Qi Ran's words, and suddenly he frowned and gasped in pain.

Seeing this, the girl suddenly knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "My... my lord, please forgive my life! Slave... I know my mistake... I know my mistake!"

Ji Si covered his neck with a handkerchief, looked down at her, and waved his hands a little irritably.

Qi Ran was silent, he put down the teacup in his hand and got up from the chair, walked to Ji Si's side in a few steps, leaned slightly to pick up the brown medicinal herbs on the table, and said softly: "Come on, you go and see the medicinal herbs. Ok."

The latter sentence was said to the maid who was kneeling on the ground.

The girl kowtowed several times, bowed her body and backed out, stepped out of the threshold and trotted away, there were only two people left in the room.

Ji Si turned her head and raised her eyes, looking at Qi Ran behind her in a daze.

The latter lowered his eyes, and his figure broke into the pupils of the person in front of him. There was a bitter smell of medicine in the air, and Qi Ran said aloud, "Xiaguan will apply the medicine for your lord."

Hearing his voice, Ji Si didn't make a sound, but just looked away and raised his chin to reveal the wound on his neck, then sat on the chair and nodded, as if to say "I'm sorry".

Qi Ran didn't answer either, and leaned over to stare at the wound on the man's neck. Dou Yuanliang exerted a lot of force. Although the wound didn't go deep, the reddish-brown scar looked like a centipede reptile. It still looked a little creepy. He His gaze was like a torch, and he stared at it for a long time, so long that Ji Si felt a little uncomfortable, his eyes were floating and couldn't find a place to fall, and finally hesitantly chose to close it. It's better to keep out of sight and out of mind.

After a while, Ji Sicai felt a cool and moist touch from his neck. The herb covered his wound, dispelling the burning heat and pain. Will touch him, this person's fingertips are slightly cool, lightly tap on the neck, if there is a vague feeling, it is as uncomfortable as an itch, every time this person's fingertips pass by, Ji Si's body will not help but soften a little , This taste was suffocating, his eyelids trembled slightly, his lips were tightly lined, and his fingers clenched his cuffs tightly, not daring to let go.

Rationality in his mind drifted away, until Qi Ran's slightly cool fingers covered his Adam's apple, Ji Si panicked so much that he forgot the environment he was in, opened his eyes suddenly, and subconsciously fell backwards, just about to fall When he was on the ground, he was suddenly supported by the back of the neck and brought back. Ji Si raised his eyes and heard Qi Ran say, "Don't move."

Ji Si froze in place, knowing how embarrassing he looked like this even if he didn't want to use it. His eyes were already full of affection, and when he looked at people with vague friendship, he couldn't tell what was true and what was false. , at this time, the eyes are like the misty morning stream, which is full of cover-ups, and the two look at each other clearly and straightforwardly, Qi Ran's heart sinks, and he hastily lowered his eyes to avoid , neatly applied the medicine to bandage him, then withdrew his hand and stood aside and said, "Okay."

Hearing this, Ji Si pushed back all kinds of thoughts in his mind, raised his hand to touch the gauze on his neck, nodded at the person, took a few sips from the teacup, so as to quench those wild thoughts.

The atmosphere was a bit strange, Cui Hao and Du Heng both noticed something when they stepped in through the threshold, they looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Cui Hao came over and said first, "I was so busy yesterday that I didn't rest, I forgot to ask Master Ji how he is?"

Ji Si smiled, turned over the pen and paper and wrote:

[Master Laucui is concerned, there is no serious problem]

"That's good," Cui Hao also smiled, "I never thought that Dou Yuanliang was going to die, and if the lord hadn't been careful, he would really have fallen into his trap."

[The food and silver he hid can be found] Ji Si pondered for a moment and wrote again.

"I can't find it," Du Heng said with a sigh: "Yesterday, I turned the Yuanliang grain account upside down, but found a cellar, which was empty. It is estimated that the previous 70 dans of grain were stored. According to the It is estimated that there are at least no less than [-] dans of grain."

"Let's not mention the food in advance. Master Cui went to the prison cell of the government office yesterday. How is the situation inside?" Qi Ran asked.

"I came here to talk about this," Cui Hao said closer, "Last night I took someone to have a look, and it was indeed an epidemic. Except for Wang Zhigui, several people in the group had symptoms of fever and cough. They were opened separately, and they were ordered to go down when they left, and no one was allowed to visit, and the doctors were also detained and sent to guard according to Mr. Qi, and the follow-up matters have to be discussed after discussion."

Hearing this, Ji Si was a little puzzled, buried his head and wrote a sentence on a piece of paper and handed it to Qi Ran.

The latter looked down and nodded, "I asked them to detain those doctors."

Ji Si frowned.

Qi Ran explained: "You and I already know that this is an epidemic, but what can we do if we know it? There are no medical records, no case files, and there is no way to solve it now. The government has not yet made a sound. If those days A doctor went back to spread the word, and within half a day the news would spread throughout the city, and the people would be panicked when they heard about it, and wanted to run out of the city one after another, without guidance, they would be in a mess, and those who cared would take the opportunity to make trouble It's even more troublesome, at that time they would probably do some extreme actions in order to protect themselves, so they detained those who knew about it, and it will not be too late to inform the people when it is safer today or tomorrow."

What he said is reasonable, if the government has no way to control the situation, the news of the sudden epidemic will be spread, and the people in Xiangzhou City will know the news, what kind of chaos will happen, and then we will find a way to deal with it Suppression is not so easy. Instead of doing this, it is better to be fully prepared before announcing the matter.

Cui Hao understood what they meant, but he was still a little anxious. He walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back and did not sit down. After hesitating for a long time, he asked: "This disease came on suddenly, and I don't know what the cause of the disease is. Those doctors saw it yesterday. They are all helpless, and there is no prescription for all of them. If you don’t want to think about it again, the people in the entire Xiangzhou city will have to wait to die. We can withdraw, but they can’t. Are these thousands of people going to die?"

"Maybe the matter is not so serious yet," Qi Ran said in a steady voice, "Currently only a few people in the refugee center and the cell have symptoms of fever and cough. Maybe there are not many people infected. Take the lead in controlling the epidemic, put the infected people together, and evacuate the rest of the people. There are too many people in the refugee camp, and it is too dangerous to squeeze them together. When the time comes, the infection will be in pieces, and people have to be evacuated. , can't get together!"

"But where to evacuate?" Du Heng asked back. "The flood outside the city is flooding, and the people in the city are gathering. Where can they go? There is no room for them anywhere!"

Yes, where can I go, Xiangzhou is only so big, it is not easy to accommodate everyone.

Ji Si sat on the chair and looked down for a while, then wrote on the paper:

[Requisitioning agricultural land for repairs, using the main road as the boundary, immediately rejecting horses, placing medicines on the left, and refugees on the right, two silver a day]

He passed the paper over, and the three of them cast their gazes over after reading it.

"You want to use this method to separate them?" Qi Ran said.

Ji Si nodded and wrote again:

[It is better to have a place to accommodate the sick, and it is easier to treat them. It is better than having both the sick and the sick together. If you open your mouth and expropriate the land, the people will always be unwilling. If you give money, they will beg to be expropriated.]

"But two silvers a day. There are at least 100 acres of farmland in the northern suburbs, and more than [-] taels of silver a day. If it lasts for a long time, it is not a small sum. Some time ago when the flood in Xiangzhou was hit by ditches and dams, Kuyin had long since disappeared." How much is left, what will happen after it is all taken out." Du Heng said with a sigh.

"If you don't have enough money, then don't use it," Qi Ran said softly, "Didn't Dou Yuanliang hide a lot of money?"

"But don't you know where the silver is hidden? We have searched everywhere but can't see it, as if it doesn't exist at all. How can we find it without thinking?" Cui Hao asked puzzled.

Qi Ran picked up his tea and took a sip, and said calmly: "Dou Yuanliang is too suspicious, he only took this step for money and power, and the money is his treasure, so naturally he should keep it where he can see it." Only the place can feel at ease. Xiangzhou is so big. It is impossible to hide such a large sum of money and food without anyone noticing it. As long as Dou Yuanliang can't go to the sky or go to the sea, this thing can't run on the ground."

His tone was soft, and he spoke unhurriedly, but it made several people calm down.

"The more you do this, the more chaotic you will be." Qi Ran stared at the teapot on the table, "Master Cui is the chief envoy of Longxi, and the officials in Xiangzhou are also willing to listen to you, so it's better for us to speak up, so we have to Trouble Master Cui to set up the shed in the name of requisitioning farmland, this matter must be done quickly, and more people will be infected with the disease one day later."

Cui Hao was worried all the time, and knew that Xiangzhou could not be saved by his own efforts, so he nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'll make arrangements immediately. As long as it doesn't rain, the project can be completed tomorrow at the latest."

"Next, I have to trouble Mr. Du. The flood, Dou Yuanliang's storage of grain for profit, including the current epidemic disease, all have to be reported back to Beijing. One in your name and one in the name of Longxi Chief Envoy, let the post envoy hurry up. , strive to send it back to Lin'an in the future, this matter should not be underestimated, let the emperor decide as soon as possible."

"My subordinate understands." Du Heng replied.

Qi Ran gently put the teacup on the table, looked up at Cui Hao, "I want to borrow someone from Master Cui."

"Who?" Cui Hao was puzzled.

"Liu Canzheng," Qi Ran said, "I seldom leave Beijing, but I also know that local officials are the most likely to shirk and slack off on weekdays and don't want to contribute, so it's hard work for Liu Canzheng to go with me to the Qianhu Office and use the chief envoy The name of Xiangzhou puts them under pressure, and from today, Xiangzhou will be closed! No foreigners are allowed to enter, and the people in the city are not allowed to enter and leave without reporting to the government. Violators will be severely punished!"

"The rest, and the most important thing, is up to Mr. Ji." Qi Ran looked at the person in front of him.

Hearing this, the latter paused when he picked up the teacup, and could only slowly withdraw his hand and put it back on the table, raising his eyebrows at him in surprise.

"Where does Master Ji think Dou Yuanliang will hide the money?"

Ji Si smiled angrily.

He also wanted to know where Dou Yuanliang hid the money and food. Qi Ran really thought highly of himself. I think I still hide a lot of things from him.

In fact, as Qi Ran said, Dou Yuanliang is a deep-minded person who is alone and has no worries. This kind of person is the most difficult to handle, but it is also the best guess. He has to put things where he can see them to feel at ease. .

Ji Si raised his eyes and looked out the window, pursed his lips tightly, tapped his index finger up and down on the table, all kinds of thoughts surged, his eyes froze after a long while, and he curled his lips into a smile.

Where is it!

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Ji Si: [shy face] You are responsible.

Qi Ran:? ? ?

Ji Si: You touch my Adam's apple!

Qi Ran: I was rubbing medicine on you.

Ji Si: People say that touching the Adam's apple is a sexual hint, you are hinting at me, come on, fuck me as much as you want, don't pity me because I am a delicate flower!Hey hey hey!

Qi Ran: [Covering eyes without laughing or crying] Enter the room.
