Chapter 461: this won't work
Wei Zhongming wanted to cry, feeling that his future was gloomy!
He regretted it very much. He knew that Su Ying should have been arrested in the first place, so that he would not have to inform the imperial court of the disaster in Luocheng. As long as he kept the information well and survived the dry season, he would be able to return to Beijing to report on his duties smoothly next year.
But now that the epidemic is out and many people die, the emperor must not let him go.
"My lord, what should I do? If you send a message to the empress, let her come back quickly... Ouch!"
Before the official finished speaking, Wei Zhongming slapped his face resoundingly.
"Where did the idiots come from? This officer is just acting. You really think that woman is the empress. Now immediately send more troops to take those who are sick to the mountain and tell them, this officer will return to the mountain." Ask the doctor to treat them, and when you look back, you can find a chance to put some medicine in their porridge..." Wei Zhongming's eyes were stern, "We must not let their people who survived to the court come here."
In Wei Zhongming's view, as long as the sick person is killed, the disease will not exist. Only in this way, the possibility of his being held accountable will be minimized.
"Yes, the little one understands, and the little one will do it now."
After the official stepped down, Wei Zhongming paced around the room anxiously, hoping that things would subside soon.
That night, the officials arrived at the resettlement site with the disease, and took all the sick people out of the resettlement site.
"Be honest and don't run around. In order to prevent you from infecting healthy people, the adults have temporarily built a shelter for you. The doctor is already waiting there. Whoever arrives first will be treated by the doctor first. Heals faster."
The officials yelled at the victims who were too sick to stand up.
Those who are walking, let those who can move support them, and those who are unwilling to walk, the officials will go up and kidnap them.
"My lord, will you really treat us?" A thin man tremblingly asked.
The official replied impatiently, "Of course, my lord will not care about your life or death, so you will line up and leave."
"I, I don't believe it, I don't want to go, we must have got the disease, the adults want us to die, we can't go, we will never come back after we go."
When the man yelled, the rest of the people became frightened. Since ancient times, most of the people who got the disease ended up with only one death.
The imperial court was worried that sick people would infect healthy people, so they would be taken to one place for centralized isolation.
It sounds good to isolate them for treatment, but the fact is that they will no longer be treated as living people.
If you go, you will definitely die if you go.
"I won't go, I don't want to go with you, you let the doctor come here to treat us, we won't go!"
Those patients followed suit.
The number of official messengers was limited, and they were worried that these patients would be in turmoil, so they shouted: "This is the order of the empress. You were all starving to death, and it was the empress who asked someone to give you porridge and water to survive. Don't you even believe the empress?"
The officials' words seemed to have worked, and the patients gradually calmed down.
At the beginning, Su Ying came to supervise the resettlement of the victims by herself, and she was really planning for them.
Will a queen like that kill them?
They didn't know for a while.
"Let's go, the doctor will treat you as soon as you get there, otherwise you will be the only ones who suffer."
The official guard slowed down his attitude, and the patients were even more shaken. Some people simply stopped making trouble, and honestly followed the official guard in line. The man who led the disturbance was a little worried when he saw what everyone believed in the official guard's words: "We will not lie to us. Bar?"
"Is it true that you will find out when you get to the place." The official sent a wink to the people around him, and asked people to go up and clamp the man on the left and right, and forcibly took him out.
Those people were taken to the mountains that night. The disease developed rapidly. Some patients died on the road before reaching the place. Seeing that the disease was so dangerous, the officials were also afraid.
Wei Zhongming originally thought that after dealing with the sick victims, he would be able to get through the matter safely. What surprised him was that on the second day, patients began to appear in other resettlement sites. In the afternoon, there were a total of three resettlement sites. disease, but the number of patients is soaring.
Wei Zhongming panicked. Ever since he cooperated with Su Ying to receive those victims who came to Los Angeles, the number of victims outside the city has skyrocketed.
According to preliminary statistics, thousands of people have already been infected. How easy is it to solve these thousands of people quietly?
"My lord, no, it's not good, there is an epidemic in the city." The housekeeper entered the room with a pale face, his voice trembling.
Wei Zhongming's knees were even weaker, and he knelt down directly. This kneeling was to kneel down on his own career. Is it really going to be ruined?
"My lord, there is nothing wrong with you." The butler hurried forward to help him up, Wei Zhongming was their backbone, if he didn't pay attention, they could only run away as soon as possible!
Wei Zhongming took a while to force himself to calm down. He clenched his molars and said firmly, "How many people were found in the city?"
"Small preliminary calculations, there are already hundreds of people."
In the morning, the medical clinic in the city was rang by many people. The symptoms of the patients who came to see the doctor were almost the same.
When the common people found that something was wrong, they immediately went to the medical center to find a doctor.
Many doctors in the city have already received rumors about the epidemic. How dare they come out and get infected at this time. Nothing is more important than saving their lives at this time.
The common people came to the government because they had nowhere to seek medical treatment, and begged the government to save them.
"You mean people are now blocked outside the government?" Wei Zhongming's face turned blue.
The steward nodded, "Yes, but the little one has already tricked them into one place, but this is not a long-term solution."
Wei Zhongming took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid this matter can't be suppressed, go, you go and call the doctors in the city to issue a reward order by the way, as long as this disease can be cured, I will definitely reward you a lot .”
No matter how much Wei Zhongming wanted to suppress the matter, he didn't dare to blatantly kill so many people. Since he couldn't suppress it, he could only try his best to show it. At least after the court people came to see it, it was because of his dedication Can be punished lightly.
"My lord, why don't you send a letter to the empress?" How could the empress be the master of such a big matter?
Wei Zhongming understood what the housekeeper meant. He was reminding him that he could use Su Ying as a scapegoat, but he had already written a letter stating that Su Ying was a counterfeit. If he listened to Su Ying for such a big matter, wouldn't he still tell the court that he was stupid? ?
This matter won't work.
