Chapter 0122 – Plague? (2 / 2)

“Let us in, we’re going into town.”

“Brothers, if we want to stay alive we have to enter the city, so many of us are going to hit the city gates together.”

“Hit the gates, hit the gates ……”

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Zhang Qiang drew his saber and directly chopped the head of the person leading the disturbance.

A column of blood sprayed out from the broken neck like a fountain, splashing the surrounding refugees all over their faces.

The scene went quiet as he watched the head roll on the ground a few times before coming to a stop, and the headless body that fell to the ground with a thud.

“Anyone who makes trouble and disobeys the administrators will end up like this! You honestly stay outside the city and wait at ease for the government to administer porridge, and any of you who dares to provoke the authority of the government again, beware of being a soul under the sword.”

Zhang Qiang and a group of officers and soldiers pointed their swords at the refugees who were trying to break into the city, and the brightly shining swords stabbed people’s eyes under the sunlight.

The crowd began to retreat, they momentarily excited to forget that the official soldiers in the hands of the knife is not vegetarian, they have nothing refugees to fight the government with what?

At least the officials said they would give congee, even a bowl of congee a day is not enough to starve to death, many people obediently began to retreat, find a shady place and began to shrink.

Inside the Qingzhou government office, the governor Xie Zhongqian is writing a zhangbiao, the outbreak of plague in Qingzhou should be reported to the court as soon as possible. I hope that the court will send imperial doctors and relief food and herbs as soon as possible.

After writing the last word, Xie Zhongqian wrapped the folding paper and handed it to the messenger, “Send it to the capital as quickly as possible with 800 miles of urgency!”

Watching the messenger leave, Xie Zhongqian touched the sweat on his head, not realizing that he had brought so much disaster to Qingzhou City because of a single act of taking in refugees.

He, as a parent official, is really to blame for everything!

“My lord, it’s bad, the broken temple in the west of the city has found a dozen more corpses with the same deaths as the people from the medical center.” Xie Zhongqian was just about to catch his breath when he heard his subordinate bring another piece of bad news.

This is like opening some floodgate, one after another officials and soldiers to report where to find how many dead, before and after less than an incense burner’s work, the death toll has risen to four or five hundred people.

Xie Zhongqian fell into a chair and stood up again after only a few breaths, “Send people to carry all those corpses to the west of the city to the empty place, and burn them all, no matter whether they are the residents or refugees in the city.

There is also this official to personally go to gather the city’s doctor to save the patient, you go to find someone to pass a message to the lady, say this official these days are not going home, let her pay attention to their own health must stay at home do not go out.”

Master Sun stopped the subordinate who was about to go out, “My lord, madam, her body is inconvenient right now is the time when she needs you, you can’t risk touching those patients.”

“Alas!” Xie Zhongqian sighed heavily, “As the head of a state, this official should be the first to bear the brunt of things, I believe that Madam she will understand.”

Xie Zhongqian picked up the teacup on the desk and filled it with several cups of tea in a row before going out. When he went out, he didn’t know how long it would be before he could drink tea.

Inside the city, there were officials and soldiers running around busily, and a body covered with a white cloth was put on a carriage, ready to be sent to the open space in the west of the city.

The city is gripped by panic, and the rich families have already started packing up and preparing to leave the city to take shelter ……

Lan Luoluo took out a few white gauze masks and a few pairs of gloves from the space and distributed them to Shen Che’s several people, “These are masks and gloves, they can play a protective role, wear them all well.”

Lan Luoluo shouted at the several officials who were still in despair, “Baldhead, let’s go find the governor.”

Bald Li heard Lan Luoluo call out to him, his mind had a flash of insight how did he forget about Lan Luoluo. She is a highly skilled healer, no wonder she has a way to cure the plague.

By the way, she called out to him to go along to the governor, without two brushes how dare she go to the biggest local parent official.

A few people felt a glimmer of hope again!
