Although the imperial doctor did not say clearly whether it was a plague, no matter what, he could only give the wrong fever and could not let anyone go.
It would be okay if it wasn't a plague, but if it really was a plague, it might kill an entire city.
Lao He thought so too. The plague hadn't spread yet, but people like them knew it very well.
There are seniors and juniors in my family. If I accidentally die, I will die. If I infect the whole family, it will be a serious sin.
He immediately responded, "Okay, then I'll make arrangements right away."
As he said that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Ci paused and called him again: "Let someone deliver a letter to the prince and tell him about the hospital."
"Okay." Lao He responded cheerfully.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not an easy job. Those from the Tai Hospital didn't come even after being invited all night. To put it bluntly, they looked down upon them.
Report the matter to Prince Xiao Mu. No matter how much these people look down on the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, they dare not not come.
There is a plague in the city of Kyoto, which is not a trivial matter. Even if the prince does not take it to heart, Queen Mother Jiang will jump up once the diagnosis is confirmed.
She was in hegemony, no matter how much she cherished her life, but given her age, her body was not as strong as young people.
If she really got infected with the epidemic, she would be the one most afraid of death.
Lao He arranged everything and didn't dare to go home for a while. He just put on his clothes and lay down in the room for a while.
Xiao Ci put on protective clothing and a face towel, wrapping his whole body tightly, and then went to the cold room to see the corpses.
Fearing that the plague was spreading and no one was guarding the cold room, Xiao Ci took the work borrowed from Shuntian Prefecture and went inside to see all the characteristics of the corpses before coming out.
All the time, they all looked solemn.
Even if the hospital has not yet come to confirm the diagnosis, it is very likely to be confirmed that it is an epidemic.
When the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division went to borrow someone, Zhang Tianhai, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, had not yet woken up. When he heard that a few more people had died last night, he became extremely anxious and was no longer as calm as he was yesterday.
If it is really an epidemic, if it becomes a big problem, he will not be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head.
He quickly asked the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to bring Wu Zuo over, and then he hurriedly got up.
Perhaps he was in such a hurry that he hadn't even straightened his clothes yet. When he saw Xiao Ci and Zuo Zuo coming out wearing protective clothing and face masks from a distance, he was immediately frightened and dared not breathe.
It wasn't until the two of them took off their protective clothing and cleaned their hands that they dared to step forward and ask.
"Ninth Prince, who were those who died last night? What happened?"
Xiao Ci took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, looked up at Zhang Tianhai with a solemn expression, and said faintly: "The symptoms on the body are all the same. Many of the rashes on the body are already rotten."
He said it lightly, but Zhang Tianhai felt his stomach churn when he heard it, but he was very panicked in his heart.
Looking at such a posture, I am afraid it is undoubtedly a plague.
At that moment, even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he stammered: "Then, what about this matter?"
Xiao Ci has known for a long time that Zhang Tianhai is a coward. If it were not for the relationship with Queen Mother Jiang, this coward would not be able to sit in the position of Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
He then said: "Master Zhang, this is the king's question to you. It's more or less the same."
"In the final analysis, Mr. Zhang is the Governor, and I, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, are only in charge of the public security in the city."
"Yesterday Master Zhang said that there was no place in the government office, so those corpses were sent to the Wucheng Office. You can't ask me to arrest them for you today."
Zhang Tianhai was so scared that he just wished he could stay at home every day and ignore this matter.
But at this moment, he was the one who made the decision. With a sad face, he kept saying: "Yes, yes, yes, arrest people, arrest people, don't let anyone go."
Those corpses are likely to be infected with the plague, and the relatives who have come into contact with these corpses are also likely to be infected. Naturally, they must be arrested and isolated first.
Zhang Tianhai wiped his sweat and was about to leave after saying this.
Xiao Ci then said: "Master Zhang, I hope you won't forget to call someone to come over and take all these corpses to the countryside for cremation."
"Ah?" Zhang Tianhai was startled and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, this matter, I will lower my official rank..."
Before he could say anything else, Xiao Ci said: "Our brothers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division didn't rest for most of last night. Now we are all resting at the front for a while. We will take turns to patrol the city later, and also
I really can't spare anyone to help."
No matter how shameless Zhang Tianhai was, he couldn't say anything about asking Xiao Ci to do it for him, so he had no choice but to agree, and then he went to arrange things in a panic.
Zhang Tianhai had just left, and Xiao Ci hadn't even finished a cup of tea when Xiao Mu hurried over with two experienced doctors from the imperial hospital.
After entering Wucheng, when he saw Xiao Ci, he felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry to bother Uncle Nine Emperors."
Without mentioning the nonsense in the imperial hospital, he hurriedly said: "These two imperial doctors are the most experienced in the palace. Let's go and take a look first to see what is going on."
Although it has not yet been confirmed that the plague is causing the disaster, everyone knows clearly that there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape.
The people Xiao Ci was waiting for were the people from Xiao Mu Tongtai Hospital. He said he deserved it, and without any nonsense, he asked people to get the protective clothing as soon as possible, and then led the group to the cold room.
It's only mid-September now, which is quite cold, but even with the sun out during the day, it's still a bit hot.
Fortunately, the cold room in the Wuchengsuo is open to all sides and is extremely cool. Otherwise, if there were several corpses placed together, it would be a stuffy day and the smell would be disgusting.
Xiao Mu stood outside the cold room and did not dare to go in. Xiao Ci took the two imperial doctors and walked inside.
The two imperial doctors were indeed experienced. One of them looked through several corpses and complained about the symptoms orally, while the other took a pen and paper and wrote down these symptoms one by one.
The few bodies that were brought back during the day yesterday, together with the ones that Lao He and the others snatched back in the middle of the night, took a look at them all, discussed the symptoms, and then withdrew from the cold room.
As soon as Xiao Mu saw a few people coming out, he hurriedly asked: "How?"
One of the imperial doctors stood up and said, "It's definitely a plague."
He added: "However, as to what kind of plague it is, we need to carefully consider it."
Then he looked at Xiao Ci: "Prince Rui, what I want to say is that it is best to burn these corpses together to prevent them from spreading further."
Xiao Ci responded: "I have already asked Master Zhang to come back and pull him."
Xiao Mu had grown up in Kyoto since he was a child. He had only heard about the plague and had never seen it, but his harm was clear.
He immediately asked Xiao Ci: "Uncle Huang, according to what you see, what should we do next?"
Xiao Ci looked a bit puzzled: "Prince, you asked me about this, I don't know.
