Chapter 315 Compromise
Xie Zhiwei glanced at her and asked, "Where is your uncle Wang?"
"In a village outside Juzhou County."
Xie Zhiwei was taken aback when he heard the words, and said to Xiao Xun, "Juzhou City has been brought under control, and we need to send more people to screen the surrounding villages, but if anyone is infected, we must first arrange empty houses to gather and take care of them." , you can’t walk around casually, otherwise more and more people will be infected and spread, and the consequences will be disastrous.”
Xie Zhiwei said, "I'm afraid you need to stay outside the city to do this. I will go into the city this afternoon and try to find out the source of the epidemic."
"No, I'll go in with you." Xiao Xun said stubbornly, his brows and eyes were heavy, his tone was firm and he could not refuse.
"If you go in, you won't be able to get out. If I need any help, who will be there outside?" Xie Zhiwei said.
"Of course I can find someone to help me. All in all, I must go in with you."
"However, if you follow me in, I will still worry about you being infected. If you are outside, I will have the confidence to be inside. Xiao Xun, don't make trouble. If you make trouble again, I don't want to care about you anymore .”
Xie Zhiwei became a little impatient. Xiao Xun is the treasure in the palm of the emperor and the lifeblood of the empress dowager. She went in to save people, and Xiao Xun followed. Once infected, Xie Zhiwei didn't know what would happen.
Xiao Xun was so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke. After Xie Zhiwei finished speaking, he turned around and left. He walked to the side of the road and got on the horse.
Xiao Xun flicked the horsewhip hard, and the whip made a sound of breaking through the air. He cursed, seeing that Songfeng and Zhuying were still in a daze, he couldn't help saying angrily, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and follow, she won't let me Follow, can't you too?"
Zhuying and Songfeng looked at each other, rushed over quickly, got on the horse, and rushed towards Xie Zhiwei.
Xiao Xun followed behind, locked his eyes on the person in front, rushed over, and kept pace with her.
In front of the south gate of Juzhou City, Xiao Xun's people had already contacted the people in the city. Cui Tingzhan stood on the tower, looking at the third younger brother who was about to change drastically, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Third brother!" Cui Tingzhan had to cooperate with the acting, "Go back quickly, everything is fine in the city, and you don't need to come in."
"Second brother, what are you talking about? When my uncle accepted me as a disciple, I made a grand ambition to take the disease of the world as my own disease. Now that there is a disease in the city, how can I pass by and not enter? "Xie Zhiwei opened his mouth full of lies and asked, "Please tell me something about the situation in the city."
Even if it was the third younger brother who came, Cui Tingzhan would not expect anything from him, even if he studied medicine from his uncle since childhood, let alone Xie Zhiwei, didn’t he come to die?
Cui Tingzhan was speechless for a while, "Now the city has a population of about 100,000, and more than 100 people die every day. The corpses have all been collected and originally planned to be burned, but the relatives and friends of the deceased gathered to make trouble. The mansion in the government office is insufficient. There were a total of ten people, and two of them refused to come to the clinic. The largest medicinal material dealer in the city is Yinzhou Ning's, and the price of medicinal materials has increased tenfold. Because it is the fourth prince's maternal ancestral home, the magistrate dare not move."
"What about food prices? How about drinking water?"
"Food prices have also risen by three times. Compared with medicinal materials, they are still much better. There are grains in the city, but how can we afford them in the long run? Recently, because of the Chinese New Year, every household has some grains in stock. In a few days, the grains will be used up. , such a high food price, if you don't restrain it, the city will definitely not be able to be sealed."
Xie Zhiwei turned his head and looked at Xiao Xun, "If I go in, it's not just a matter of medical treatment. If the common people don't cooperate, let alone medical treatment, the situation will be unstable and nothing can be done."
Xiao Xun didn't speak, what else could he say? He also knew Xie Zhiwei's concerns, if he went in, if she got infected, she would be angered by the palace, the Xie family couldn't afford such a consequence.
Besides, now that the people from Lou State are here, the imperial court doesn’t even know about it. Although these people were controlled by Xie Zhiwei's reasons, they still need to be dealt with, but right now, no one else can be found to deal with this matter, so he can't go in and leave this matter to someone else.
Even if he wanted to dump him, no one would pick it up right now.
"How do you know Wanyan Zongwang is here?" Xiao Xun asked without looking at Xie Zhiwei, looking at the gate of Juzhou City.
"I'm just guessing." Xie Zhiwei couldn't say that in her previous life, she heard that people from Lou State had come to the capital, and that it was the commander of Lou State who wanted to join forces with Dayong to attack Beiqi.
"Whether it is the fourth prince or the third princess, they are very young, and I heard that they are the most beloved children of King Lou. It is impossible for them to come to Dayong without any elders. Since they came together Yes, we only saw the two of them and didn't see the elders, so it can only mean that something is wrong with the elders."
Xiao Xun understood, Wanyan Zancheng should have heard that the third young master of the Cui family was coming, seeing Xie Zhiwei with him, instead of asking him, he directly asked if Xie Zhiwei was Cui Tingwei, which meant that they were eager to find someone from the Cui family.
Xiao Xun turned his head and took a deep look at Xie Zhiwei, "Go in!"
Xie Zhiwei walked forward with the horse, and when she reached the gate of the city, she came down suddenly and led the horse forward for a few steps. Seeing this, Xiao Xun also walked forward for a few steps. Xie Zhiwei handed him the reins of the horse, "My horse The horse's name is Qiuyun, so I won't bring it in. Please take care of it for me."
Xiao Xun didn't speak, but he took the reins of the horse, which also showed his attitude.
Xie Zhiwei turned around, her long hair drew a graceful arc behind her, and entered the city without hesitation.
The gate of the city opened slowly. After Xie Zhiwei and sisters Du Yuan and Du Yan entered, more than a dozen soldiers came out, took over the supplies brought by Xie Zhiwei, drove the carriage into the city, and the gate was slowly closed again.
Xiao Xun looked at the closed city gate, at this moment, his eye circles were red.
The young man has never lost anything. He stretched out his hand to grab something, but he couldn't reach out. He was holding two horse reins in his hand, looking very helpless.
In the city, the doors of every household are closed, but there are many heads behind the windows, and they are all curious, how can someone come in at this time.
There is a desperate and sad atmosphere in the air. There are still many living people in the city, but it is like a dead city.
Zhang Yishan, the magistrate of Juzhou, was forty-two years old, two Jinshi candidates, square face, with two beards on his lips, looked refined and elegant, dressed in official uniform, came forward alone, and cupped his hands at Xie Zhiwei, "Young master is righteous!" , willing to enter Juzhou, I am grateful! If there is any arrangement, please feel free to tell me that in Juzhou City, from the magistrate to the ordinary people, I am willing to listen to you!"
