Chapter 78 Chapter 78

After Xie Mingze and others of the imperial doctors and everyone who were going to go over this time, they took out the cotton cloth prepared by Li Si when boiling the medicine. They were all torn well. After he asked Li Si to distribute the cotton cloth, he stood in front of these people and personally demonstrated how to use these cotton cloth to block the mouth and nose and tie it behind his head.

"I know it's troublesome to do this. You feel uncomfortable to wear it at the beginning. But what I want to say is that if you don't want to get infected with a plague, these things must be worn at all times, and you have to endure it even if you feel uncomfortable. Compared with being infected with a plague, these discomforts are enough to offset it." Xie Mingze said the severity. After all, the spread of the plague is through the mouth and nose and those contaminated water sources. As long as you are careful to prevent it, you can still do the best.

Everyone was stunned. It was obviously the first time they heard this.

After Xie Mingze finished speaking, Chu Li glanced at them lightly: "Madam means this king, this is an order." The last four words have become Xie Mingze's most powerful backing, this is an order, so they must be obeyed.

"Here!" Everyone came to their senses and immediately knelt down on one knee to receive the order, neatly and uniformly.

At the same time, Li Si pushed the door and whispered, "Prince, Master Li is here." They were directly promoting their own fanfare when they were boiling medicine. Prefect Li probably had doubts, but he was not guessing that Chu Li could find his place to hide so quickly, so he was too panicked.

Chu Li thought of what the prefect Li did, and his eyebrows were cold and angry: "Is that right? I happened to have something to look for him."

It is absolutely impossible to sit down and try to get out of such evil things.

Chu Li waved his hand and asked everyone to prepare first and set off later.

He followed Li Si to the room and walked out. He saw the Magistrate Li with the butler and others waiting outside from afar. When he saw Chu Li, he hurriedly bowed and bowed: "The emperor has seen the prince."

"What's wrong with Lord Li coming here so late?" Chu Li didn't plan to tear his face off at this moment, but just looked at Prefect Li slowly.

Master Li sighed relieved: "I heard that the prince was boiling medicine, so the officials came to ask if there was any place where the officials needed to serve?"

Chu Li said no: "Mr. Li said so. Zhu and his friends found a prescription that can prevent the spread of the plague in the future. In order to test the effect of the prescription, I will let Zhu Zhu and his subordinates try it together first."

Master Li's eyes lit up: "This is great! There is no plague in Suihuai yet. If it can be prevented, it will be a good thing for the people!" Master Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not found, it would be good. Moreover, if the prescription was found, although it was for prevention, since it could be prevented, can it be cured? Now there is no plague on the surface, but in fact it has been uncontrollable. He was still panicked, worried that he would get infected, and now he has medicine...

The prefect Li couldn't help but ask again: "I wonder if Xiaguan and others can drink some too?"

Chu Li looked at him expressionlessly. Prefect Li was shocked when he was seen, but he couldn't bear to leave the prescription and smiled with shamelessness.

Li Si knew how could the prince ask the medicine given to such people by his wife: "Mr. Li is afraid that it will be too late. The medicine has been boiled for our people. If Lord Li wants to drink it, he can only wait until tomorrow. Speaking of which, we have to go to a place later. Lord Li might as well go with us. When he comes back, the prince will give the prescription to the two imperial physicians and supervisors to start boiling medicine. At that time, Lord Li can drink as much as he wants."

"Go to a place? I don't know where the prince is going? It's time to see that the city is about to be closed, so why not go tomorrow?" The prefect Li hesitated and always felt uneasy.

Li Si scolded: "As the prefect, can't Lord Li open the city gate at any time? Our prince is also for the sake of the people. The plague is about to break out and it may be uncontrollable. The prince also heard a prescription that can cure the plague, but it lacked a herb. This herb was said to be somewhere, so he rushed there overnight. The prince worked so hard, but it was Lord Li, you, the official of your parents, who were so obstructing you, what did you think?"

The Prefect Li felt very uncomfortable when he was scolded by a subordinate, but this person was from King Li, so he dared not offend him.

He heard that he was just looking for herbs to cure the plague and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he always felt uneasy, he responded quickly: "Xiaguan definitely has no such intention. He was just worried that the prince might be inappropriate for his safety when traveling late at night. This is... Since it is a herb to seek life-saving, Xiaguan naturally has to accompany him."

Chu Li then slowly spoke: "It's so good. We'll go there later. Since Lord Li is here, I'll wait here and go with you later." He won't run away.

Lord Li probably couldn't have imagined that Chu Li could find it so quickly, and he had no doubts. In order to show obedience, he was waiting there.

Soon, Chu Li was ready to go, and all the soldiers and secret guards brought him were on their backs.

Because Chu Li told Xie Mingze in advance that the road this time was difficult, so he could not ride a carriage. Xie Mingze himself could ride a horse, so he directly replaced the carriage he usually traveled with a horse, and he also turned over the horse with Chu Li.

On the contrary, Lord Li, the prefect, took some effort when he was on the horse and was delayed for a long time before he was supported by the butler.

When he finally rode on his horse, the group of people galloped away directly in front, while several soldiers were waiting behind him, waiting for him to leave first before following him. Those who didn't know, thought they were staying to see him.

Xie Mingze followed Chu Li and his party out of the city. When he arrived at the gate of the city, Li Si and others took out the token. Unexpectedly, the yamen guarding the city gate refused to let go at all. He just knelt on the ground and said he was waiting for Lord Li's order.

Chu Li couldn't see any emotion on his face. When Li Si thought of what the Prefect Li did, he knew that this was not the time to cause trouble. He could only suppress his breath and wait until the patients were rescued and obtained substantial evidence, and then he would be thrown in front of the Prefect Li in person and arrest him directly on the spot.

It would be useful if it weren't for keeping the prefect Li, and according to the past practice of the prince in the military camp, if he encountered this, he would just cut it off.

The Prefect Li was not very good at riding a horse, so he took two steps slower and hurriedly drove the horse to arrive. He quickly waved his hand to open the city gate. After the city gate opened, he looked at King Li with guilt. Fortunately, King Li was not angry, and the Prefect Li was relieved. However, as the group looked at a place after leaving the city, the closer they got to Prefect Li, the more they were, the more they were, the direction the King Li and his group were going, it was a bit like...

But it shouldn't be that King Li had only been here for only one day, how could he find it? That place was so secret that even he could not have imagined.

Prefect Li was not blindly confident. It was indeed difficult to find places where he hid those patients. After all, no one would have thought that Prefect Li would hide those people in a temple on a mountain more than ten miles away from Suihuai.

In the past, the entire mountain was a place where people recited sutras and chanted Buddha's name to save sentient beings, but now it has become a purgatory.

When he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, the prefect Li changed his face. He turned over and got off the horse in a panic: "Li, King Li!" He was covered in cold sweat and hurried over unsteadily, "King Li, aren't you? Are you looking for herbs to cure the plague? Why... have you come here?"

Chu Li didn't show his face: "Isn't this a mountain? Only this mountain is available. It just so happens that this is a temple. This time, Suihuai was hit by floods. I was concerned about the people who died in the disaster and felt pity. I just wanted to go to the temple to pray for blessings and salvation for them."

"But there are no monks in this temple. Even if the prince goes there, it's not right. What's more, it's so late today, so... come again next day?" Master Li was scared and sweated. How dare he let King Li go up the mountain? It's not obvious yet. Going up there is the yamen runners he sent to guard. The monks had long been driven away and temporarily requisitioned the temple on the top of the mountain.

Chu Li just glanced at Master Li deeply: "Is that so? That's a coincidence, but it's still important to find herbs. People... enter the mountain."

The Prefect Li wanted to say something else. Li Si and others had already sneaked behind the people he brought to Li and the people he brought, and each of them covered his mouth and captured them alive.

The rope was also prepared, and the mouth was tied tightly.

Chu Li ignored these people anymore. He led Xie Mingze and a group of people to the mountain. The secret guards in front of him opened the way, with sharp blades standing in front of him, all of them were solemn and murderous. In a trance, it seemed that they had returned to the bloody battlefield. They were not facing the enemy, but also a group of executioners who helped the evil.

The moment Li was tied up, he didn't know that he had been approached by King Li. King Li was afraid that the purpose of coming here at the beginning was to come here. Not only did he not be prepared, he even followed him stupidly. Thinking of the situation on the mountain, Priest Li had a miserable face:... It's over.

Even though Xie Mingze had already learned about the tragic situation here from Li Si, he could still feel like hell in deep place when he saw it with his own ears.

The more I walked up the mountain, as I got closer to the temple on the mountain, there were endless pains and screams of help. In such a dark night, it was terrible, and there was no way to ask for help. The despair and the despair made Xie Mingze unable to hold his hands tightly every step, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

The group held up the torches, and the secret guards who were opening the way in front had tied the Prefect Li to the front, and the sharp blade was crossed around the Prefect Li's neck: "Mr. Li has been sentenced to death. Should you continue to help the King or surrender? If it is the latter, you can still have a chance to survive; otherwise, you will be killed without mercy and beheaded immediately!"

As these sounds resounded through the mountains and forests, the light of the torch illuminated the gray and white, terrified and restless face of the prefect Li was extremely bright.

Soon, someone raised his hands and came out of the bushes on both sides of the stone steps, shouting for surrender.

One came out and was quickly tied up, and soon there were a bunch of people tied up behind him.

As we almost reached our body, a strong stench of corpse came faintly, and Xie Mingze pulled Chu Li's sleeve.

Chu Li asked Li Si to give orders, and temporarily stopped wearing the cotton cloth he had distributed before to cover his mouth and nose.

Their group was filled with people. Because the prefect Li slaughtered the law in advance, the yamen runners had no leader. In addition, many yamen runners had been arrested along the way. When they arrived at the temple, the confidants of the prefect Li surrounded him and saw that their ancestors were being held up by a knife, and then they looked at the soldiers who were much more than them, surrendered on the spot.

After driving all the confidants of the Prefect Li to a place with a dedicated person to guard it, Xie Mingze took a deep breath, followed Chu Li, and looked at the closed gate of the temple.

Because they were close, the painful roars became louder and louder, but similarly, because when he heard such a tragic situation with his own ears, Chu Li changed his mind. The people inside were locked up for so long, and once they were released, they would inevitably attack and run around, and would easily lose control.

Chu Li said something in Xie Mingze's ear. Xie Mingze saw it with his own eyes and knew that this method is the most appropriate now. They had only three doctors this time. The situation here is still unclear, so we need to make sure there is no danger first.

Chu Li ordered and stood at the door. Li Si and several loud voices began to shout inward: "Listen to the people of Sui Huai inside, we were sent by the emperor to provide relief. The imperial envoy who came this time was King Li of the current dynasty. We came to Sui Huai thousands of miles to save you with food and herbs for disaster relief. There are also two imperial doctors who accompanied us. Our prince already knows what the prefect Li did to you. Now the prefect Li has tied up here, and he will definitely be punished he deserves afterwards. Now we need to treat you, but the same is true, because the people who are still alive here may have been infected with the plague. In order to prevent the two imperial doctors from being attacked by you as soon as they enter, we need you to select a representative to inform us of the situation inside. Don't worry, as long as you don't make a noise, the government will not let any people go."

When Li Si and others said the words were heard inside, the person who was originally roaring in pain calmed down, but then there was a more violent roar and struggle, and there was even a sound of slapping the door, as if he was about to rush out.

Li Si and others continued to shout: "If you suspect that we are from the Prefect Li, the Prefect Li has locked you up here and fend for yourself. What do you still need to act? But in the same way, you have been infected with the plague and cannot let you go now. Even if you leave and the plague is not cured, you should also see the plague when it is the worst, and you will only die in pain. The imperial doctors and herbs we brought will do their best to treat you. Now, those who want to survive will stop shouting. The more time it takes, it is not a good thing for you."

Li Si and the others kept shouting patiently over and over again, until they shouted for half an hour, and analyzed the words of the Mandarin to them one by one. Perhaps it was finally because these people who were in anger and despair for a long time saw a glimmer of light, and the original noise became lighter and lighter, and in the end, they were silent like death.

I don’t know how long it took, an old voice, and I don’t know if there is any right to speak among these people who are surviving now. Although his hoarse voice tried hard to say a little louder, he was weak and powerless because he had not had enough food for a long time: “Are you really Prince Li outside? Are you really here to save us?”

Li Si's nose felt a little sore when he heard it, but the only thing that he was grateful that they heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Li.

Chu Li took a step forward and sent his voice with his internal force, which could be more mellow and far away: "I am the imperial envoy sent by the emperor this time. Not only that, I also brought millions of stones of food and herbs that were enough to treat you. Now that the prefect Li has been sentenced, you can rest assured. Because this is on the mountain, the food and herbs will not be delivered later. However, before this, in order to prevent someone from rushing out of the temple and causing unnecessary panic, it will also bring the plague to the outside world. Therefore, we need you to stay in the temple for the time being. However, I can guarantee that you will be able to eat food soon. In addition to this, you will choose a serious illness and have already been unconscious to carry it out first, and we will treat it immediately. I wonder if you can handle it for the time being?"

Chu Li tried to make his voice gentler and soothe the emotions of these people a little bit.

Soon, many noisy sounds came from inside, but they were quickly suppressed. The old man's voice came again: "But will these patients with serious illnesses be brought out... to you?"

Xie Mingze's nose felt sour, and Chu Li's expression was solemn, and he promised: "We will set up a tent and will be treated here temporarily. Don't worry, someone will come here to boil medicine tomorrow, and this medicine can temporarily relieve your condition."

I don’t know if he believed Chu Li’s words, but the old man choked up and said, “We all listen to the prince.”
