They knew when the disaster relief team's paper with money and food would arrive, and the report from the imperial court would be delivered to all local officials in advance.
It's just that the newspaper didn't indicate that the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital were there. The reason was simple: to protect these imperial doctors.
If a plague occurs in any place, medical treatment is more important than food. Even if the possibility of targeting the imperial doctors is very small, the court has to be careful.
No, once the magistrate fell, and the city guard who sent the message was not there, none of the current officials in Bacheng knew that there was a life-saving imperial doctor in the disaster relief team.
Qi Kang'an and his daughter looked at each other. The tacit understanding between father and daughter meant that without saying anything, one could tell with just one glance that what the other person was thinking was exactly what he was thinking.
Start cooking the meal, wait until you have eaten and drank enough.
What are you waiting for?
Wait until it gets dark.
Under the black forest, several figures either relied purely on internal strength or used tools to leap onto the city wall and disappeared into the night.
After jumping over the city wall and entering Ba City, everyone finally understood why the government officials stopped them on the city wall.
Bacheng - fell.
The roads were deserted, and there was no one in the house. As far as the outside of the county government office, the three avenues in front, left and right, with the gate of the county government office as the center, were filled with people lying everywhere.
As long as there are people in the place, there are light or heavy coughs everywhere, and people wrapped up tightly stop somewhere among the corpses. After checking the breath of the people on the ground, they use the quilt on the spot.
Or the straw mat can be rolled up and carried away directly.
Looking over, there are not 40,000 or 50,000 people, but there must be 30,000.
Qi Kang'an and Qi Bao'er were hiding in the dark. They were not afraid of being infected. They had taken the anti-epidemic medicine prepared by Divine Doctor Shi before coming, and they all carried a purse of anti-epidemic herbs prepared by Divine Doctor Shi himself just in case.
.
What they are afraid of are these infected people on the ground.
Yes, it is so worthless.
Regardless of how desperate everyone is now, if a few of them who are not sick appear in front of them, "Why are you okay and I am okay?" It will be enough for them to drink a pot.
The closer you are to a crowd of people desperate, the less likely you are to test human nature.
Unlike Qi Kang'an and the others who were cautious and nervous throughout the whole process, Qi Bao'er was sitting in the corner of an abandoned cloth shop and chatting with Yijun Piao.
There are so many floating lights in Bacheng at night.
Normally this should not happen, but now is a special period. There are too many people sick due to epidemics and disasters, and the messengers are too busy.
This one is all in the state before death. The one who buried Tai has either a face full of thick bumps or a face full of thick bumps.
Suddenly, he entered the group of toads.
"Little girl, let me tell you, the current county magistrate is not the county magistrate, but a government servant with a figure similar to the county magistrate pretending to be."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that too. This is already the second time. They stand at the city wall all day long. There are a group of people outside the city gate who are all infected. Whoever doesn't catch it will."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Our county magistrate is a good man. What do you think? Are you still gloating about misfortune?"
"I, I am not gloating, I am telling the truth."
Seeing that Jipiao was about to start a fight, Qi Baoer hurriedly stepped forward and pulled them apart, "Why are we arguing when we are already here? I heard that the county magistrate got sick very early, right?"
An old lady in well-dressed clothes patted her thigh and said, "The county magistrate was harmed by his mother-in-law. That's not right. It was not his mother-in-law, but his concubine."
Ouch, there is something wrong here.
Qibaoer immediately took out the melon seeds and made a listening gesture.
The old lady glanced at the man who was offering her face, and told her the matter with excitement.
"Old lady, my house is next door to Magistrate Yue's house. I really know a lot about Magistrate Yue's family.
Magistrate Yue's deceased wife was forced by his mother to marry her, the only daughter of the owner of Lao Shao Winery in our town, Shao.
Magistrate Yue originally had a childhood sweetheart named Qiu, but after Magistrate Yue married Shao, his childhood sweetheart also married someone, also Ye Butcher from our town.
After Qiu got married, Butcher Ye didn't treat her well. At first, she didn't have enough to eat and had to serve her elders and younger children. After being childless for two years, Butcher Ye made a move on her. The entire Ye family looked at her and didn't care.
Not only that, he often follows Butcher Ye.
Later, Magistrate Yue County found out about her, borrowed money to help Qiu and Butcher Ye reconcile, and settled her in Hotan Village, not far from our county seat.
Unexpectedly, Shaw Brothers knew about this.
It would have been fine in normal times, but at that time Shaw was in labor, and in a fit of anger she suffered a dystocia, and she died as soon as the baby was born.
Magistrate Yue’s wife also said that children cannot be left unattended, so when Magistrate Yue was not at home, she took it upon herself to carry Qiu’s family in a small sedan.”
Everyone loves to eat melons, and everyone stopped making noises while listening to them, and the whole star listened with relish.
"This time, Magistrate Yue got sick, and it was Qiu who caused the illness. Magistrate Yue has had Qiu for almost six years, and he has never touched her once. Qiu couldn't help it anymore. We didn't
Isn't there a group of garrison troops coming to the city? Qiu Shi also managed to get a Bai Chang inside.
That Baichang is nothing. The Qiu family told him that Magistrate Yue’s family was rich, so they arrested the young master of Magistrate Yue’s family and threatened him, asking Magistrate Yue to give them one thousand taels of silver."
"Hiss~" There was a cool gasping sound.
One thousand is really a lion's mouth. Not to mention an incorruptible official like Yue County Magistrate, ordinary wealthy households may not be able to spend it all at once.
"What happened next? What happened next?" This Piao urged the update urgently.
"How could Magistrate Yue get it? The chief was in a hurry to leave, so he just threw the child into the ruined temple on our east street.
Unexpectedly, a group of children who were infected but could not tell were hiding in the ruined temple at that time. The son of Magistrate Yue was infected. Later, when the children were found, Magistrate Yue also followed..."
After finishing speaking, the old lady let out a long sigh.
There was silence for a while, and then there was a series of condemnations and curses, all of which were aimed at that Qiu family.
Either he scolded her as "ungrateful" or "a white-eyed wolf", or he cursed her as "not having a good death" and "going to eighteen levels of hell after death".
It can be seen that this magistrate of Yue County has a very high reputation in Bacheng. He is a local official, and these are all his people.
rare.
It's also very weird, at least Qi Bao'er said she can't understand this feeling for the time being.
"Is Magistrate Yue still alive?"
The old lady turned her face sadly for a second: "Still alive."
It means that there is more air coming out and less air entering.
"Young Master Yue died that day. If County Magistrate Yue wakes up someday, I don't know if he will be able to bear it."
Poor that kid, he's not even ten years old.
After eating for a while, everyone just said a few meaningless curses. They were all ordinary people. Regardless of whether they wanted to help or harm others, they didn't have the ability.
Qi Baoer clenched his little fists and stood up, holding his claws on his back and wanting to run away.
Oh my god, this melon is poisonous, I'd better run away quickly.
