Chapter 467 Pressure

 "From the perspective of the people, they have their reasons for doing this."

Li Ang sighed: "The family members of the confirmed patients who were taken away for isolation are effectively missing.

Being in people's eyes, isn't it just a walk in front of the gate of hell?

It is better to dispose of the body secretly to avoid the risk of being taken away for quarantine."

He spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I want the people to believe in the government and the Yu State, but empty words have no meaning.

The personnel I brought from Shuozhou were not enough with training experience, so I could only use locals from Taiyuan Prefecture and people from the Zhenfu Division.

What kind of officials do people in Taiyuan Prefecture come into contact with on a daily basis?

How can people trust you?"

"So you want to use people from the Wang family?"

He Fanshuang also heard some rumors and asked with a frown.

"Yeah."

Li Ang nodded and said boredly: "Although I dislike the Wang family very much, their influence and credibility in Taiyuan Mansion are indeed stronger than that of the Yamen.

The people may not believe the notices from the yamen, but if someone from the Wang family comes to visit, the people may listen to what they say."

He Fanshuang asked: "The Wang family is trapped in the city by you, are they willing to do things for you?"

"That's the good thing about the Millennium Family. They have lasted for so long that they have lost their blood. Everything is based on the survival of the family and the interests of the family.

Therefore, their behavior patterns are very predictable."

Li Ang smiled and said: "The city gate is sealed, and a circle of soldiers surrounds the outside. The Wang family will not openly treason and abscond collectively.

Therefore, their best course of action is to cooperate with me and persuade the people to follow the regulations to prevent plague.

At the very least, help the Yamen control the raging plague in the city first, so that the plague will not wipe out the Wang family's residence."

"There will be a rebound."

He Fanshuang reminded: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard some rumors, saying that your management in Taiyuan Mansion was too cruel, and it was not like the work of the God of Medicine.

They still want to use other methods to oppress you and force you to agree to them leaving Taiyuan Prefecture."

"Oh, the Wang family is flourishing. Even if you don't jump out, there will be people close to you in Chang'an who can help you talk. It's normal."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Isn't it just a battle of wits? Who is afraid of whom."

Suppressing the aristocratic clan has also been the long-cherished wish of the Li and Yu royal families in the past dynasties.

The emperor and the academy are both on his side, and the Wang family, which has been entrenched in Taiyuan for thousands of years, is not so easy to overturn.

"As long as you have a plan."

He Fanshuang nodded and said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It really does."

Li Ang smiled and said: "I need to develop a drug that can cure the plague as soon as possible, and it is up to you to exercise the authority of the Hedong Road Observer."

"Me?"

He Fanshuang raised her eyebrows lightly.

"That's right."

Li Ang nodded, "No matter how well the policy to contain the plague is formulated, it will ultimately be implemented by people.

I drastically changed everything in Taiyuan Prefecture and damaged the interests of many people.

From the nobles of the aristocratic families to the bureaucrats, there are many people who hate me and the decree I designated to contain the plague.

They are afraid of Chang'an and the Academy. They dare not resist my orders openly, but secretly they will cheat and even over-execute the government orders, leaving me to take the blame.

For example, I ordered all stores in Taiyuan Prefecture not to raise prices.

The officials responsible for execution will go out to look for trouble.

Even if it is a grain store that reasonably raises the price by a penny due to transportation and storage, these officials will take out my flag and forcefully close the grain store.

The people nearby will not be able to buy cheap food, and the stigma will be placed on me.

For example, I ordered to rent a carriage in the city to transport daily necessities.

These officials would rent the vehicles that usually transport dung and use them to transport meat and grain to the people. This is called making rational use of idle vehicles.

In fact, it disgusts the people. Let me, the Chang'an court and the academy bear the infamy.

I said everyone should be treated equally in the isolation ward, but they dared to compete for more beds in the isolation ward, and then placed suspected pregnant patients in the corner with the worst conditions.

If a pregnant woman unfortunately miscarries, they will even laugh happily and watch the people in the city throw the crime of inhumanity on the head of the person who issued the decree.

Holding high the banner of supporting me and walking against my facts is nothing like that."

Li Ang said in a cold tone: "In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and now are troubled times.

Since these people like the plague so much, then put them in a prison full of rats and wait until the plague is over before releasing them."

"..."

He Fanshuang noticed the cold murderous intent in Li Ang's tone and frowned slightly, but did not refute. He just asked: "How come you know so much about the methods of low-level officials?

I remember you have never held public office at the bottom before, right?"

"Well, hehehe, I learned it from books."

Li Ang laughed and covered up the past, "The Taiyuan governor has the ability but not the courage. You use him to supervise the implementation of decrees in Taiyuan.

For those who commit crimes and commit crimes, those who should be arrested should be arrested, those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned, and those who should be killed should be killed."

"Okay."

He Fanshuang nodded sharply. She got perfect marks in the Yu Lv course at the academy, and she also knew what legal provisions should be used to punish criminals to the maximum extent without damaging the credibility of the Yamen and Yu Lv.

It's just...

She and Qiu Feng silently exchanged glances, and reached a consensus of opinions silently.

Li Ang would not usually say words like "kill them all". The various tragedies and man-made disasters he has seen during this period have really put him under too much pressure.

After all, those are the lives of millions of people.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Ang did not notice the exchange of eyes between the two girls, shook his head and asked: "The mountain chief said in the letter that he would send a secretary to protect me. Dr. Tantai Leshan has returned from the front line?"

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

He Fanshuang pointed to the door. Li Ang pushed the door open in surprise, and then saw the hall.

Sitting opposite Yanyundang, Xi Yangyu was drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

"Why is it him?"

The corners of Li Ang's eyes twitched. Among the four secretaries of the Academy, Tantai Leshan, the Fu Studies Division, and Xue Che, the Physical Education Division, both went to the front lines of the Zhou Kingdom.

Cui Yixian, the Sword Master, and Xi Yangyu, the Nianxue Master, are left.

I originally thought that either Tantai Leshan or Cui Yixian would come over to cooperate with Yan Yundang to protect him. I never expected that it would be Xi Yangyu.

Not to mention the old grudge between the two, Xi Yangyu is famous for his love of money and his tendency to follow people's influence.

Facing the Wang family of a thousand-year-old family, he is afraid that he will sell himself immediately.

"You think I'm willing to come?"

When Xi Yangyu heard Li Ang's complaint, he snorted coldly and turned the page of the newspaper, "Someone has already issued a reward for you in the Chang'an Ghost Market.

The head on your neck is worth five hundred thousand gold.

If I can kidnap you alive, the reward will be one million yuan.

Boy, don’t sleep too hard at night.”

"Humph."

Li Ang pursed his lips and said loudly: "Shi'er, make me a cup of tea."

"Eh."

Ouyang Shi, who was still in the laboratory, quickly made a cup of tea and handed it over respectfully.

When Xi Yangyu saw it, his face twitched and he said solemnly: "Let me have a drink for you, too."

Ouyang Shi stood obediently behind Li Ang, pretending not to hear.

"Hehe."

Seeing the expression on Xi Yangyu's face as if he had eaten a fly, Li Ang grinned and sipped the tea proudly.
