Plague?

Ji Zimo looked stern, "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, Jiangcheng Baicao Hall has received several seriously ill patients. The old doctor sitting in the hall is unable to treat them, so he passed the invitation to ask his subordinates to come and consult for details."

Mr. Liu was out of breath from running, and gasped: "Today, my subordinates went for diagnosis and treatment, and found that the number of patients with the same disease suddenly increased to dozens."

Mr. Liu looked horrified, "My subordinates analyzed dialectically and found that this disease is very similar to a disease transmitted from rats to humans in the southern barbarians."

"There are so many similarities, maybe not." Xia Chengan spoke.

"Master Hou," Mr. Liu hesitated before speaking, hesitated, and then said: "If this disease appeared in the Southern Barbarians, with such symptoms, I would be able to make a definite diagnosis. If it were in another place, I would be a little hesitant."<

/p>

Mr. Liu went on to say, "This disease is transmitted to humans by fleas on the body of Apis agratus."

"The black-lined Apis rat lives in the Southern Barbarians and has strict requirements on the living environment. It rarely survives after leaving its place of birth. Today, the only plague that exists in the Southern Barbarians appears in Jiangcheng."

Mr. Liu bowed his hands in salute and said solemnly: "In just a few days, more than a dozen people have become ill. How many more patients will follow is unknown. The difficulty lies in..."

Mr. Liu looked ugly and spoke with difficulty, "This disease spreads easily, and those who get it will die nine times out of ten."

His words froze the atmosphere in the study room.

Everyone knows what a dangerous situation they are about to face.

Under his sleeves, Ji Zimo clenched his hands into fists, "Since there is a rat problem, as long as we eliminate the sick rats, we can reduce the number of patients."

"Someone is coming..."

He called out, but the guards outside the door had not yet come in.

A breeze flew in. He bowed his hands and handed over the letter, "Your Highness, this is a letter from the girl."

Ji Zimo opened the letter, checked it, and then handed it over for everyone to check.

Xia Chengan, who has always acted steadily, saw the end of the letter, slapped the paper on the table, and angrily said: "That traitor Feng Wei is so crazy."

Cao Ran was also furious, and he bowed his hands and said: "Your Highness, we can't wait any longer. If Feng Wei is not eliminated, Jiangcheng will be restless."

"Geng Zhong!"

Ji Zimo's expression condensed and he ordered: "Send the order to arrest Feng Wei and other personnel. If they encounter resistance, they will be killed without mercy."

"Mr. Liu, go to Baicaotang, bring enough herbs, and send them to Xicheng District."

"Cao Ran, if Feng Wei wants to arrest him, that person will also be arrested. You send people to blockade Xicheng District and declare to the outside world that there is plague."

"This..." Cao Ran said worriedly: "As soon as this news comes out, the people may be worried and their hearts will be unstable."

"If the people's hearts are not stable, will people's hearts be stable?"

Ji Zimo retorted, "Now, let's muddy the deep waters of Jiangcheng together. Only in this way can we fish in troubled waters."

"Yes."

"..."

After everything was arranged properly, Ji Zimo said to Qingfeng: "Let's go, take this highness to see her."

……

In an abandoned yard in Xicheng District, through the broken window paper, a few pieces of luxurious brocade were built into a simple tent inside the house.

In the tent, two sleeping people had infusion needles stuck on the backs of their hands, and high-energy liquids were hanging from the bamboo poles on one side of the tent.

People suffering from this disease need a large amount of infusion treatment to replenish the water lost in the body and correct the acid-base balance.

In ancient times, there were no such superb diagnostic and treatment techniques, so the mortality rate in this era was close to 100%.

She can save and cure these two people, but what if ten more come?

Just as I was thinking about it, there were horse hooves outside the house.

Someone tried to open the door curtain, and Hu Tang's voice came, "His Royal Highness, please wait outside the door."

"Get out of the way." It was Ji Zimo's voice.

"Your Highness the King Xian, the Lord of Qianqian County has made it clear that this disease is contagious, so please stay ten feet away from your tent." Hu Tang obeyed Xia Qianqian's words.

Even when the wise king came, he never flinched.

"If she can enter, so can I, Your Highness."

"How can His Majesty the King take risks so easily?" Hu Tang refused to give up.

"She is a virtuous princess, and I am willing to take risks for her."

A wise princess?

Hu Tang was confused for a moment.

He looked up at the eyes under the mask, and as he looked at them, his palms began to sweat.

"Get out of the way." Ji Zimo passed him and stepped in.

"You're here." Xia Qianqian walked out of the tent, not forgetting to tighten the curtain behind her.

Ji Zimo stepped forward quickly, took the hand of the person in front of him, and looked him up and down, "You don't look good, are you tired?"

"Yeah." Xia Qianqian bowed her head obediently.

"Do you know the danger here?" Ji Zimo hates that iron cannot make steel.

"I am a country girl, what should I be afraid of?"

She shrugged and glanced at Mr. Liu who was rushing over, "Mr. Liu, you are here."

Old Liu ran forward and greeted: "The old man has collected all the medicine lists you listed in your letter. Look, a carriage has been pulled."

"Okay."

Xia Qianqian said with excitement on her face: "Hu Tang, quickly, ask the guys to make a fire and brew the medicine. Everyone over there will drink a bowl. From today on, within five days, everyone must drink a bowl to prevent diseases."<

/p>

"Yes!" Hu Tang obeyed the order. He directed people to work, but his eyes looked here from time to time.

Look at Xia Qianqian for a while, Ji Zimo for a while.

A bold guess appeared in his mind, and he hated that he had been fooled by lard before, but he didn't notice it at all.

At this time, Xia Qianqian couldn't care about anything else and put some of her guesses together.

Xia Chengan, who was following her, looked at her with a more pensive look after hearing what she said.

"You also suspect that the black-lined rat is raised by Feng Wei."

"Hmm!"

Xia Qianqian nodded, "The black-lined squirrel has very high environmental requirements. If it wasn't carefully cultivated by someone, it would never come to Jiangcheng."

Xia Qianqian is worried, "Rat reproduction is very strong. It only takes one month for a female rat to be pregnant and give birth. Each litter contains ten. One month is ten. Ten female rats can give birth to a baby in the next month.

One hundred mice..."

She shook her head and said to herself: "In just half a year, they can raise thousands of rats. If these disease-carrying rats are released at once, one rat will infect one person, and thousands of people will be infected."

,"

She looked solemn and said, "Your Highness, Jiangcheng is in danger."

Xia Chengan, who had been silent all this time, took two steps forward and said, "What you said is all speculation."

He retorted: "I have been in Jiangcheng for a month and have traveled all over the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng. So far, I have never seen any black-lined rat."

He looked at Xia Qianqian and asked: "The fertility rate of Apis agratus is high and the survival rate is low. In this case, the situation is not uncontrollable."

Xia Qianqian smiled, "May I ask, Mr. Hou, have you been to Xicheng District before? Have you been here?"

One sentence choked Xia Chengan.

When he first came to Jiangcheng, the place he went to was naturally a famous place in Jiangcheng.

"Do you suspect that Feng Wei is raising a lot of black-lined mice in Jiangcheng?" Ji Zimo took over the words at the right time.
