"Did you get that memorial?" Zhifu He asked while sitting in the study with his eyes closed.

Master Hu of the prefect of He replied softly: "My lord, it has been intercepted. Then Du Yanbo is still young. I never thought that there are people from us in this delivery channel."

Magistrate He nodded in satisfaction, "This kid has one scripture. He is going to die, so let him go. It's best to die, and we can promote our own people."

"What your lord said is true!" Master Hu rolled his eyes, and then asked again: "My lord, should we arrange for someone to go..."

Magistrate He opened his eyes and glanced at Master Hu, "Don't worry! I think he won't be able to come back even if we don't need to take action!"

Their words seemed to reveal that Du Yanbo would definitely die this time when he went to Yunhe County!

On the other side, after Du Yanbo bid farewell to the old man, he prepared to rush to the county government office.Suddenly, the sound of several children crying and shouting was heard.

"You guys wait here, Criticism and Feilian come over with me to have a look." Du Yanbo instructed the yamen servant behind him.

"Yes!"

Du Yanbo led the people towards the direction of the sound, which seemed to come from the depths of the alley.Looking into the alley, I found that every household had closed their doors and windows. In the unusually quiet environment, the cries of children seemed particularly desolate.

Before the person walked into the alley, he saw two seven or eight-year-old children fall down from the door of the house deep in the alley, and then climbed up tenaciously, as if they were pulling someone's clothes, crying : "Don't, don't take mother away!"

Just as Du Yanbo wanted to go forward, he was held back by criticism, "Master, it's too dangerous. Let me go forward to investigate the situation."

During the conversation, four masked and tightly wrapped people came out from the house in the alley. They should be government servants in the county government.I saw them dragging a dying woman covered in blood.It was obvious that the woman's four children were pulling the yamen servant, the youngest was about four years old.

"Please, don't send mother to that place! We will kowtow to you!" The four children stood in a row, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the yamen servant.

One of them seemed a little unbearable, and asked the leader, "Brother, what should I do?"

The leading yamen servant frowned, "I'm afraid that these few will be taken away later. If we are not cruel, we will die!"

After finishing speaking, the four yamen servants made up their minds, pushed the child away, and walked towards the street.Seeing Du Yanbo and the other three, he shouted at him: "Look, you guys are dying! Get out of the way!"

Criticism and Feilian made a light effort, stepped forward, pulled out the knife, and clasped it around their necks.

The four yamen servants shook their hands, and the dragged woman fell heavily to the ground, and the children who followed rushed forward to encircle their mother. "Hero, be merciful. If you have something to say, talk it out! Don't use the knife!"

When Du Yanbo saw such a tragic scene, his expression became colder than before, and he was almost suffocating, "Where are you taking this mother?"

The leader was quite embarrassed, turned his head and shook his head, and finally said: "This woman was reported by her neighbors to have this disease. The magistrate issued a death order. Anyone who contracted this disease must be taken away." Go to Baili Village. There is nothing we can do!"

"Then how do you deal with these children?"

"These children will also be taken to the ancestral hall in the county and locked up later. Anyone who has been in contact with the sick will be locked up in a ancestral hall in the east of the county. It depends on their lives to live or die. .”

Du Yanbo knew that this was a common way to deal with the outbreak of the epidemic, but the county magistrate did not report it, did not seek medical treatment, and let these people die, which would only make the situation worse in the end.After hearing the criticism from the side, he blushed and said angrily: "You, you are devoid of conscience! Ten thousand deaths are to blame!"

The four yamen servants knelt down in fright, "Master, there is nothing we can do! If this is not dealt with, the whole county will die!"

"Still quibbling, you..."

"Criticism! Stop!" Fortunately, even though Du Yanbo stopped the behavior of criticism, "They are still following the order. Let's go to the magistrate's office first."

"Yes, master. What about these children?" Criticism looked at the four children who looked at them expectantly.

Du Yanbo approached, bent down, and said to the children, "Your mother is seriously ill, you should not get too close to her. Now I will ask these uncles to send her to the hospital for treatment." After finishing speaking, He also took out a protective mask and a few Qingxin pills from his body, and handed them to the child, "Put this on. Put these pills in your mouth."

"Uncle, we want to go with mother."

"No. You have to protect yourself first before you can protect your mother. Do you understand?" Du Yanbo comforted patiently.

The child was still young, so naturally he didn't understand Du Yanbo's words very well. The older child held the hands of the other children, wiped away his tears, and choked up, "Uncle, we listen to you! My mother Can you get better?"

Du Yanbo looked at his mother lying on the ground, then at the expectant eyes of the children, and lied, "It will be fine. There will definitely be a doctor to cure her."

Afterwards, Criticism stayed to supervise the four yamen servants to handle the child's affairs well, and Du Yanbo and the rest of the staff rushed to the county government office.

Bao Zhixian, who got the news in a hurry, put on his official uniform in a hurry, ran out in a panic, and muttered, "It turned out to be that Du Yanbo who came! It's over this time!"

This Bao Zhixian happened to bump into Du Yanbo who was entering the door.

"Lord Bao, where are you going in such a hurry?" Du Yanbo sarcastically asked.

"Du, Mr. Du, this, this..." Bao Zhixian didn't dare to look up at Du Yanbo, but only dared to glance at Du Yanbo quietly. Seeing his face turned black, he couldn't even speak.

Du Yanbo didn't talk nonsense with him, "Take me to the office first, and report to me everything about Yunhe County!"

It turned out that the first case of this epidemic was in Baili Village, a place not far from Yunhe County.When the first case occurred, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. There were several more cases of fire, because most of them were weak and sick people, and they were treated as wind and cold, so when the Cuihuan maid returned to the village, there was no abnormality.

But within a few days, more and more people got sick. Apart from the elderly and children, even the young and middle-aged were infected.This Baozhi county was timid and did not dare to report, so he immediately blocked Baili County, thinking that as long as the people inside did not come out, the sick people would be locked up in one place, and they would be able to survive safely without contact with others.Unexpectedly, the disease had already started to spread in Yunhe County, and he had no choice but to send the sick person to Baili Village where the sick person was detained.

Du Yanbo, who has never lost his manners, heard Bao Zhixian's description, and jumped at the case, "You, you are simply a murderer! How many lives have you killed!"

Bao Zhixian shrank his head, wishing he could find a gap to sneak in. It was better than facing Du Yanbo who was full of anger. He cried and said, "Du, my lord, there is nothing I can do about it."

Du Yanbo supported his head, he knew that no matter how much he punished Baozhi County at this time, it would be a waste of time, so he sighed and said, "Take me to Baili Village."

"Baili, Baili Village? You can't go, your lord can't go! This village..."

"The patient went, why can't you, as the parent official of Yunhe County, go?"

"It's easy to catch diseases there!" Bao Zhixian knelt down and pulled Du Yanbo's robe.

"Then you just watch hundreds of people, or even thousands of people, die unexpectedly? As a parent and official, you are supposed to benefit the common people. That's good, just push them into the fire pit!" Du Yanbo grabbed them. He left Baozhi County and forced him to send a group of people to Baili Village together.

On the way to Baili Village, Du Yanbo had no bottom in his heart, he only hoped that Feishu and Feihua would find Shen Sheng and Bai Nanyou who were going to visit other places.

Where did those two people go?

The two of them ran into Gu Yanchuan who was about to go back to Tingli Town.Because of being scolded by Shen Sheng every day, Bai Nanyou was very depressed, so he pestered Gu Yanchuan to stay in Yunlong County to play for a few days.

And this day, the three of them were sitting at a wonton stand after their night tour.

"Boss, here are three bowls of wontons, and remember to sprinkle chopped green onions." Bai Nanyou shouted at the wonton stall owner.

"Alright! Wait a moment, guest officer, I'll make it for you right away!"

Bai Nanyou turned his head and sighed: "If it is paired with Gu Ji Baijiu at this time, it would be perfect?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanchuan became indifferent, "Senior Bai also drank Guji wine?"

Bai Nanyou smiled, "Naturally! How can someone who loves wine not go for a drink? I see you kid, you can't carry your hands on your shoulders, but you really have a good brain! Come, come, tell me secretly, this How do you make the wine?" After speaking, he put his ear to it.

Fortunately, Shen Sheng grabbed Bai Nanyou's skirt and pulled it over, "Don't inquire about other people's secret recipes!"

This Bai Nanyou has the personality of an old child, and he immediately became displeased, "I saved this boy Gu's life anyway, so what if I ask?"

"I saved it! It wasn't you!" Shen Sheng sat upright, not giving Bai Nanyou any face.

As a spectator, Gu Yanchuan laughed out loud, "I really envy the two seniors, it's only good that they have such a relationship!"

Bai Nanyou hurriedly retorted: "Who has a good relationship with him?! I..."

Before they finished speaking, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from the night, and they were driving towards them.

The visitors turned out to be non-books and non-paintings.The two of them inquired all the way, finally found this place, and they actually found it!

"Senior Shen, Senior White! Help!" Fei Shu and Fei Hua knelt down on one knee and begged.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Sheng asked.

"An epidemic has occurred in Yunhe County, Sanqing Prefecture! My master has entered the epidemic area to help the common people!"

"What?! Epidemic! Why did senior brother go to the epidemic area! Why didn't you stop me!" Gu Yanchuan panicked.

"Don't worry, we will leave immediately."

Several people found a carriage, led by Feishu and Feihua, and rushed towards Sanqing Mansion.On the way, Feishu described the symptoms of the illness to Shen Sheng and the others, and Gu Yanchuan was so frightened that his whole body went numb. Isn't this viral hemorrhagic fever?The infectivity and fatality rate are quite high, and even modern medical technology is difficult to deal with this virus.Brother Du, you have to wait for me, but don't have anything to do!
