Everyone chattered, some pleaded, some threatened, which made Su Changqing feel very confused.

"Everyone, burning the corpses is also a helpless move. If the dead corpses are not burned as soon as possible, the virus will spread, and no one in Yanling County will be able to survive."

Su Changqing tried to persuade him with good words, but no one would listen.

"Mrs. Hou, please don't lie to me. This big plague is caused by plague ghosts. What does it have to do with the corpses of our relatives?"

"That's right. Who has seen the virus Mrs. Hou mentioned? How can this corpse cause people to get sick?"

"The plague ghost is causing trouble, so please ask Mrs. Hou Ye to arrange someone to come to Yanling County to exorcise Nuo as soon as possible. I have asked those doctors, and they don't know how to cure big head plague. Madam Hou Ye should not lie to me again. "

It turns out that in the past few days, the government servants and scribes in Yanling County had a lot of contact with those hundreds of doctors, but they already knew that these people would not be able to treat Datoupu at all.

In fact, Li Wangyou and Su Changqing didn't expect those doctors to save lives, they just used them as nurses.

After all, compared with ordinary people, these doctors understand medical theory to some extent, and they are always familiar with taking care of patients.

But I didn't expect that these government officials and scribes would use this matter to explain it, but Su Changqing didn't know how to explain it for a while...

852 Flicker, then flicker

In order to avoid intensification of conflicts, and many things in Yanling County still need to be handled by these clerks, Su Changqing tried to dissuade him several times but failed, so he could only put the matter on hold temporarily and planned to discuss it with Li Wangyou how to respond.

However, she did not allow the clerk to transport the coffin back to her mansion, that would be too dangerous.

In the end, on the condition that Su Changqing agreed not to transport the coffin out of the city and burn it for the time being, the scribes and government servants were asked to transport the coffin back to Lifang, which was used to isolate the sick.

But this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise if more and more patients died of the plague in the city, if the corpses were not disposed of as soon as possible, more people would die.

Moreover, due to the conflict between the clerks of the yamen and the forbidden army on the street today, it is estimated that the cremation of the corpse cannot be concealed in Yanling County.

If the tens of thousands of people in the city also rioted because of this incident, it would be even more difficult to end.

Although Su Changqing was a strong woman, she couldn't be as hard-hearted as Li Wangyou, and forcibly ordered the imperial army to burn the corpse.

In a dilemma, Su Zhangqing had no choice but to ask Li Wangyou for help.

Li Wangyou, who was notified, hurried to the outside of Yanling City.

Since Su Changqing entered Yanling County, Li Wangyou got out the copper wire and bamboo tube "telephone" that was used to play Zheng Kangbo in Dongshi for the convenience of communicating with him.

A copper wire was pulled from the head of Yanling County to the outside of the city, and bamboo tubes were fixed at both ends for communication.

After all, he and Su Changqing were talking to each other, and they were always embarrassed to yell in front of everyone, right?Even if Li Wangyou has a thick skin, he still has to take into account the face of his beautiful boss.

Looking at the increasingly thin figure of the beautiful boss on the city wall, Li Wangyou couldn't help feeling a little sore in his nose, and said to the bamboo tube, "Zhangqing, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Wangyou, listen to me, the city is a bit troublesome right now, that's how to deal with the corpses of the dead who died of the plague, today..." Su Changqing was in no mood to greet Li Wangyou today, and directly opened his mouth to explain the troubles caused by cremation in the city. Tell it out.

Li Wangyou frowned when he heard this, this matter is really quite tricky.

If they forcibly order people to transport all the corpses out of the city for cremation, under strong pressure, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no civil uprising in Yanling County.

It is the most fundamental ethics and morality of Datang that the dead are great, and those who are buried in the earth are safe.

In fact, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even later generations, in the process of cremation advancement, there were still countless resistances, and even bloody conflicts broke out.

Li Wangyou ordered people to forcibly cremate the corpse. If this matter is not handled well, it will even cause trouble in the court, and it is very possible to be impeached.

Of course, the matter was urgent. Although Li Wangyou reported this matter to Li Ershang, he did not get a clear answer.Obviously, regarding this matter, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and other bigwigs are also quite troubled.

But Li Wangyou couldn't let it go. If the bodies of those patients who died of the epidemic were placed in Yanling County like this, it would only cause more serious consequences.

He was also very annoyed by the problems Su Changqing was facing.

It was already early summer, and the weather was getting hotter. Those corpses definitely couldn't be stored in the city for a long time.

"Changqing, if it doesn't work, I'll send troops into the city and force those corpses out of the city to be cremated!"

"No, that will only continue to arouse conflicts. If tens of thousands of people in the city riot, things will get out of hand." Su Zhangqing immediately vetoed his proposal.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Su Zhangqing is not willing to send the forbidden army to do such a thing.

"Wangyou, think of a way again, it's best to persuade the people, and you must not directly resort to violence."

Li Wangyou scratched his hair angrily: "How can I persuade them? This virus is invisible and intangible. Let alone a microscope, even if there is one, can those morons understand that what is under a microscope is a virus?"

Su Changqing didn't know this truth, but he could only sigh: "Is there no other way? Even if it's to frighten them, it's fine. Didn't you play tricks and fool those ministers in Chang'an City before? Why don't you think of another way?" , to scare the people in the city?"

Li Wangyou felt that this was a way, anyway, the common people were ignorant, sometimes it was a way to scare them.

But what method to use to frighten tens of thousands of people and officials in the city is a difficult problem.

It would be difficult for Li Wangyou to pull out such a big deception, he is not a magician like David Copperfield, who can play magic tricks to fool tens of thousands of people in the city.

The method used by Monk Wen Zai can only fool some of the people. It is too difficult to convince the people of the whole city to voluntarily agree to cremate their relatives who died of the plague.

For a while, both Su Changqing at the top of the city and Li Wangyou outside the city lost their minds, and the two stared at each other speechlessly.

Li Wangyou raised his head and looked at the sky in a daze, the early summer sun was already a bit dazzling, so he couldn't help but raise his head to block the sun.

Suddenly, something suddenly came to Li Wangyou's mind, he turned his head and shouted loudly to the dandies behind him: "Brothers, what day is it today?"

The dandies looked at each other, not understanding why Li Wangyou suddenly asked about this.

"The fourth year of Zhenguan, April [-]th, Ziyou, why are you asking this? Are you living in a muddle?"

Li Wangyou ignored the words of the dudes, turned his head and grinned at Su Changqing on the top of the wall: "Changqing, I have a solution, haha!"

"What way? Come and listen!"

The two whispered for a long time on the bamboo phone, which made the dandies curious.

When Su Changqing was satisfied and returned to the city, he immediately summoned the captain of the forbidden army and asked him to immediately order the forbidden army to go to the whole city to announce something.

In Yanling County, due to the plague ghosts, a big head plague broke out.

However, the plague ghosts were rampant, and after killing those sick people, they even hid their filthy power in the corpses of those dead. This is why the corpses of the dead in Datouwen turned black.

The filth of this plague ghost can only be removed by burning with fire.

If the filth left in the corpse of the plague ghost is not burned, the plague ghost will use the filth to pollute the earth, and even eventually swallow the sun.

Naturally, the people in the city, including the clerks of the county government, did not really believe these words.

Although there were a lot of black spots on the dead bodies of Datouwen, they didn't believe it if it was said that it was the filth left by the plague ghost.

Especially the clerks in the county government office suspected that these remarks were just used by Mrs. Hou Ye to deceive them, and the purpose was to force them to burn the dead body.
