Chapter 463: Zhou Xiangrong
He also felt that these merchants should not be so courageous.
"Go and investigate to see who is so bold as to delay my career."
"Yes, little one, I will send someone to investigate."
There were more and more sick people in the city, Wei Zhongming found an abandoned temple and placed them there for officers and soldiers to guard them.
A green-covered carriage came outside the ruined temple, and a woman in green clothes stepped out of the carriage.
She was stopped by officers and soldiers just as she walked to the gate of the ruined temple, "Who is it?"
The woman said: "The little girl Zhou Xiangrong is a doctor who treats patients."
In the past two days, doctors in the city have been called over to treat patients, so the officers and soldiers opened the door and let Zhou Xiangrong in without thinking too much. This is an epidemic area, and even a normal person would not be willing to come, so they didn't think she would. There are other purposes.
Although this is an abandoned ruined temple, the buildings inside are fairly well preserved. The courtyard walls, doors and windows are a bit old, but they can still provide shelter from the wind and rain.
Patients with mild symptoms were placed in the lobby of the ruined temple, while those with severe symptoms were placed in guest rooms in the backyard.
There was a howling sound in the lobby accompanied by the sound of vomiting. As soon as you walked in, you could smell a disgusting smell.
Zhou Xiangrong frowned delicately, but still stepped forward to see the patient lying on the ground.
The doctor who was arrested for treatment walked into the lobby and saw a woman inside, wondering, "Why is the girl here?"
Zhou Xiangrong turned around and said, "I am a doctor who is here to treat the disease."
The male doctor frowned when he heard the words, feeling that Zhou Xiangrong was really ignorant, "This disease is not common. The old man sees that the girl is not very old. Why don't you ask the family to ask the adults for a favor, or leave as soon as possible."
Zhou Xiangrong shook his head and said, "I invited them here. I can't bear to see the victims suffer, so I want to do my part for them."
The male doctor looked at Zhou Xiangrong as if he was looking at a fool, "Young man, let's do it for ourselves."
Zhou Xiangrong ignored the doctor, but took out a medicine from his body and fed it to the patient, and then he went to treat other patients.
After treating all the patients in the lobby, she got up and walked towards the backyard.
Along the way, several officers and soldiers came out of the backyard carrying corpses. These victims died of illness and were to be taken to the pit in the back mountain to be burned.
Zhou Xiangrong glanced at those corpses, and sighed helplessly.
She pushed open the door of the guest room, and someone rushed out from inside. Zhou Xiangrong was frightened and froze in place. Fortunately, the official who came over reacted and quickly pulled her away to avoid her being hit.
The officer let go of his hand and turned around to chase the patient who wanted to escape.
The patient was seriously ill and was already weak, so he was no match for the young and strong official. He was caught by the official within a few steps.
As soon as the patient's body was tilted, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, his body began to convulse, and a dead look appeared on his face.
"Doctor, where is the doctor?" Seeing the patient like this, the official servant hurried to find the doctor.
When he rushed back with the doctor, he saw Zhou Xiangrong kneeling on the ground to treat the patient. The patient who had a lifeless face just now gradually improved and came back to life.
The officer looked at Zhou Xiangrong in surprise, but he didn't expect that she was a doctor.
"His condition is not very good, his pulse is very weak, but I gave him medicine, he should be better tomorrow, let's take him back first."
Two people called by the official sent the patient back to the house.
After the young official came out of the room, he found that Zhou Xiangrong had entered another room, and he couldn't help but followed curiously. She looked young, but she seemed to have good medical skills, and she didn't know where the doctor was from.
"The girl is a doctor invited by the adults?"
Zhou Xiangrong shook his head when he heard the words, "No, I came here uninvited. I heard that there are many people in the city who have contracted the disease, so I couldn't rest assured, so I came to have a look."
It was too late for others to hide from the epidemic, but she even delivered it to her door. The officials thought she was really stupid, but she was also kind-hearted.
"The patients here are all seriously ill. If you need anything, just let me know."
Zhou Xiangrong looked at him and smiled, "Thank you very much."
The officer's face turned red when he saw her crescent-shaped eyes.
Early the next morning, on the official road leading to Los Angeles, a fierce horse was galloping crazily, and the kicking hooves of the horse brought up a cloud of dust.
One person and one horse galloped to the gate of Los Angeles before slowly stopping.
The man sitting on the horse was tall and tall, with condensed eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of deep black eyes fell on the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
"Open the city gate."
The fierce horse shook its head, and the flag emblem of the Yasukuni Mansion hanging around its neck was swaying and jingling.
With just one glance, the officers and soldiers were startled by the aura of the person coming.
"Who are you?"
The visitor took out a gold medal from his waist, which was a token unique to the Imperial Army.
The officers and soldiers hurriedly knelt down and saluted when they saw it, secretly thinking that this person might be someone sent by Beijing Central Committee to investigate the news.
"See my lord."
"Open the door."
The officers and soldiers didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the city gate to let the opponent enter the city.
"Take me to see Wei Zhongming." The visitor said to the official.
Dare to call Mr. Wei by his name directly, the official position must be far above Mr. Wei, the officers and soldiers hurriedly brought a horse to lead the way, and before leaving, let people take the trail to report to Wei Zhongming.
Wei Zhongming was worried when he got the news. Just now, the official said that there are more and more patients.
The butler entered the room in a hurry and said: "My lord, my lord, there are people coming from the capital, and they are going to the government soon."
Wei Zhongming paused, "What? Someone came from Beijing? Who came here? What official? I haven't heard any news from this official."
The housekeeper shook his head, "I don't know what kind of official it is. The officers and soldiers guarding the city said that the other party has a gold medal from the Imperial Army in their hands. I don't know if it is because of the drought. They just asked the officers and soldiers to bring him to see you."
Wei Zhongming's knees softened, and he almost knelt down. It would be fine if he was some kind of official. What did the emperor want the imperial army to do? There is no need for the forbidden army for disaster relief, right?
Wei Zhongming's heart was racing, and the visitor had already arrived outside the gate of the official mansion.
After the notifying attendant sent the message, Wei Zhongming didn't dare to get up without any delay and went out.
When Wei Zhongming walked outside the door, he saw a slender figure riding on a horse. Even if Wei Zhongming came out, he had no intention of dismounting at all.
Wei Zhongming's heart skipped a beat. With such arrogance, he must be a close minister of the emperor.
"The next official sees your lord."
The visitor's dark eyes fell on Wei Zhongming, and he said in a deep and forceful voice: "Where is the Empress now?"
