The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

There is thick ice on the canal, and the cargo ships going back and forth must return to the dock empty before the freezing period.

Either they are forced to be stranded on the canal, and they can only wait for the ice to melt in spring before returning to the dock. But for the cargo on the ship, the crew would ask porters to move it off, leaving the empty ship on the canal.

Therefore, even if it is frozen, the canal is very lively.

Among the stranded ships, one ship caught everyone's attention. The waterline of this ship was very deep, which meant that it contained a lot of cargo.

But after the ship was frozen, no one got off the ship to unload the cargo.

At first, there were always porters hanging around, waiting to earn some hard-earned money carrying cargo. After waiting for several days, there was no movement on the ship.

What's even more strange is that there is no smoke from the ship. Could it be that the boatman got off the ship a long time ago and put a cargo of goods here?

When someone recognized that this was the Lu family's ship, ordinary people were curious but did not dare to inquire too much.

But the boat stayed on the canal for too long, and gradually some brave young people wanted to get on the boat to catch some fish.

To catch some fish is to get on the boat and steal something while no one is on the boat.

A few brave young men met and boarded the ship in the dead of night. They also know that the Lu family cannot be offended. If they don't steal big items, they will steal some small items.

Unexpectedly, when they boarded the ship, they discovered a shocking secret. There was no cargo on the ship, but a ship full of people!

Except for the upper floor, which is where the boatmen live, it is quite spacious. The lower floors are so packed and tightly packed that people are treated like animals packed into boxes.

What surprised these people was not only that the boat was full of people, but that these people were all dead!

They were so frozen that they were either huddled up, crawling on the ground, or holding the door open...

Each one of them died in a miserable state, with their bodies emaciated and naked, and their faces and bodies covered with sores. There was filthy excrement everywhere.

There were men, women, and many half-year-old children. If it hadn't been so cold and everything was frozen solid, the ship would have stunk all over the place.

A total of five people got on the boat. After escaping off the boat as if they had seen a ghost, they went crazy.

What they boarded was an ordinary cargo ship, but what they saw was purgatory on earth.

When people see them, they say there is a ghost boat on the canal, and that the boat is full of ghosts.

They were all a bunch of gangsters, and no one believed them, but everyone instinctively stopped approaching the Lushi ship.

Soon, the five people on board the ship were infected with the disease one after another, and they had no money to seek medical treatment. They were too frightened and were half crazy.

Only the five of them knew what happened to them. All the people on the ship died of illness like this. They were haunted by the ghosts on the ship!

The plague began to spread from these five people. In just a few days, patients with the same illness appeared in several towns along the canal.

When Ling Moxiao's people were looking for the ship along the canal, with the cooperation of the local government, they found the Lu family ship.

After taking a group of government officials on board the boat to take a look, this shocking case was officially exposed.

This ship was the Lu family's slave ship, and it was also the ship that helped the queen transport patients from Minzhou.

The patient disembarked midway and was rushed to Chang'an. And the plague has spread on the ship.

At first, the captain was afraid that the slave trade would be exposed if word spread, so he didn't care. After all, the death of a few slaves was nothing.

He did not expect that the plague would spread so quickly. In just a few days, everyone on the ship was infected.

Then winter came early this year, the canal froze, and before the captain's letter was sent out, a full shipload of people died on the ship.

I don’t know whether God couldn’t stand it or the Lu family’s move angered the river god. Just when the county magistrate was leading people to clean up the corpses from the boat.

This old boat, which had too many people on it and was frozen in the river, actually cracked.

Like a burst wooden box, the ship's corpses filled the canal.

It was said that people were crowding on both sides of the bank, and the bodies were rolling on the ice along with the wreckage of the ship like ice balls.

Like fireworks exploding, the body that rolled the farthest was a mile away.

The scene was comparable to the legendary Tatars burying Han people and digging mass graves.

After receiving the news, the Lu family arrived quickly, but it was too late unless they killed hundreds of thousands of people in dozens of towns on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Lu family is, they cannot hide it.

Finding this boatload of dead bodies was not the scariest thing. What was scariest was that most of the people who came to watch were frightened.

As the new year is approaching, these low-level people who are making a living on the canal have chosen to go home quickly and stay away from this place of right and wrong.

They were afraid that the government would investigate the case regardless, detain them all here, and seal the checkpoint, so that they would not be able to return home.

As these people fled back to their hometowns, the plague was carried to all parts of the country.

This case can be said to be the most influential case since the emperor ascended the throne.

It can no longer be regarded as the royal family's own business like the case in the North District. It can be settled by sending the queen to Xishan.

There was no need for Ling Moxiao to submit the certificate. The censor's certificate had already been handed over to the emperor's case like snowflakes.

"The Lu family is a human trafficker. They rob people from Minzhou, Lingnan and other places and sell them to Chang'an. This is shaking the foundation of the country. Please investigate strictly!"

The people of the Lu family reacted quickly. The slave trading case was indeed a major case, and it would be difficult for the Lu family to escape this disaster.

He needs to drag more people into the water, and the first show is the Chen family. The plague in the North District was spread by the Queen, and this matter has spread in Chang'an City.

The Lu family immediately said that the people on this ship were wanted by the Chen family, and the queen was responsible for the plague spreading on the ship.

The boat and the boatman did belong to the Lu family, but the goods inside did not belong to the Lu family.

Chen Guogong was furious and scolded Lu Guogong for his foul mouth. The Lu family could do such a damning thing as selling slaves, but the Chen family couldn't do it.

Duke Lu asked him, if he spread the plague in Chang'an City, wouldn't he be afraid of divine punishment?

If you are an ordinary person, you can still say that the married daughter, the water thrown out, and the things she did have nothing to do with her mother's family.

Chen Guogong didn't dare to say this. Wouldn't he be blaming the emperor by saying this?

After the slave trade case was exposed, the entire Jiangnan Road was infected by the plague, and the fact that the plague had spread to Henan Road was also brought before the emperor.

On the day of the winter solstice, a civil uprising broke out among the water transport gangs in Jiangnan Province and they rushed to the county government office to grab medicine because many water transport workers were infected with the plague.

As for the Lu family, the local tyrant, the angry people had already rushed into the Lu family, snatched food and medicine, and burned down several houses of the Lu family.

In short, a civil uprising has occurred. If the court does not take any action, the entire Jiangnan Road will fall.

It happened that at this time, Youzhou sent another danger report. The Tatars were attacking the city and were in urgent need of reinforcements.

The emperor was very worried, and there were endless disputes in the court. Some people said that heavy troops were sent to suppress it.

Some people say that we should treat the people with gentleness, but if the plague is not cured, the people will turn into mobs.

If the Lu family does not punish them, the court will lose its prestige.

The emperor took this opportunity and issued an order to kill the nobles for the first time. That was the third son of the Lu family. He was caught in Jiangnan Dao, the evidence of the crime was read out in public, and his head was beheaded to calm the public resentment.

At first, some nobles did not agree, saying that in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, this precedent had not been set.

Could it be that if the unruly people cause trouble, the nobles must be killed to settle their grievances?

Third Young Master Lu has been punished and exiled thousands of miles away. Isn't that enough?

The emperor was stunned. Ling Moxiao asked the opposing Zheng Guogong: "I heard that your family and the Lu family have maritime business. I wonder if the people of Jiangnan Road know about it?"

Zheng Guogong's expression changed greatly. The story that the Lu family in Jiangnan Province was rushed in, looted and burned by the mob had spread among the nobles.

None of them expected that a pariah who had never looked at him before would be so bold in expressing hatred!

When Ling Moxiao asked this question, Zheng Guogong thought that the same thing would happen to his family and stopped talking for an instant.

In addition to killing Mr. Lu, he also fined the Lu family ten thousand yuan to be used to control the plague in Jiangnan Province.

The Lu family refused to accept it and insisted on reporting the boat to the Chen family, because the empress wanted the people in the boat.

He thought that the emperor would care about the royal family's face and deal with minor matters. In the past, when nobles committed local crimes, this was how they were handled!

It’s just that this time things are indeed a bit bigger, but so what? What does it matter if a boatload of slaves die and some untouchables die?

The Lu family did not expect that the emperor had no feelings for the queen at all, and was worried that he could not find a way to weaken the Chen family.

Since there is internal strife among you, I will naturally seize this opportunity and hold on to it. The emperor will act in a heart-breaking and righteous way to kill off the relatives.

Deprived of the queen's position as queen, she was thrown into the cold palace.

At the same time, the Lu family was asked to hand over the iron scroll of the alchemy book and seize the title of Duke.

He also sent Dali Temple to Jiangnan Road to thoroughly investigate the slave trade case.

Lu Guogong was dumbfounded. He thought that dragging the Chen family into the water would reduce his punishment.

Unexpectedly, the punishment was even more severe. Since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, there has never been a case of turning in an iron scroll of an alchemy book!

Duke Lu tried to unite other nobles to oppose the emperor, but other nobles knew that the slave trade case was not a serious matter.

What's urgent is that the slave trade case has caused plague in Jiangnan Province and Henan Province, triggering civil uprisings. This is a big deal.

Moreover, Lu Guogong completely offended the Chen family. Although the queen sent him to the cold palace, the prince was still fine.

Who can guarantee whether the prince will avenge his mother afterwards? The Lu family is just a troublemaker now. Who dares to get involved?

It was useless for Duke Lu to jump up and down, and everyone pushed against the wall. The other noble families took the opportunity to push the dirty business behind the scenes to the Lu family, and they all wanted to separate from the Lu family.

When Mr. Lu was escorted to the execution ground and beheaded in front of thousands of people, it was the arrival of the New Year.

It's a pity that this New Year is destined to be difficult. From the royal family to the common people, no one is in the mood to celebrate the New Year except naive children.

The third son of Lu was beheaded, and the behemoth Lu family fell, temporarily quelling public resentment.

Mo Xiujin was also among the crowd watching the execution. Seeing Mr. Lu being beheaded, he knew that his mission in Jiangnan was completed.

But he couldn't go home yet because...he coughed violently, and then people from all directions started coughing.

Yes, Mo Xiujin was also grateful to the plague.

Because the plague spread too widely, and Princess Ling had too few specific medicines, it was too late to treat her. The court still had a headache.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the restricted area in the North District was officially lifted.

People from the Chen family came to pick up Chen Xingzhen. Chen Xingzhen's right hand had grown back and left a circle of scars, although it looked like an ordinary person.

But he knew very well that this hand could no longer hold a knife, hold a horse's rein, and even eat and carry vegetables with difficulty.

Chen Xing was so depressed that he became a useless person.

Shen Dongsu taught him how to train his left hand and comforted him by saying that his left hand can be used just as well after training.

The one-armed sword king still has one arm broken! Still fighting against invincible opponents all over the world.

Chen Xingzhen's feelings towards Shen Dongsu were complicated, including gratitude, guilt, and curiosity.

He finally asked the question: "Are you Doctor Shen?"

Shen Dongsu was speechless: "You just saw it?"

Chen Xingzhen:......

"I have an eye problem."

Shen Dongsu, no, your eyes are not sick, it’s just your heart that is missing.

"Don't you blame me? I stole your special medicine and gave it to the prince."

Shen Dongsu raised his eyebrows: "You have learned your lesson."

Chen Xingzhen looked at his right hand and smiled bitterly, yes! He had learned his lesson, and the lesson came so suddenly and so cruelly.

It made him start to believe in fate. How could it be such a coincidence that on that day he was allergic to celery and his face was swollen beyond recognition, so the killer didn't recognize him...

It was too late to regret or feel guilty. He sincerely said to Shen Dongsu: "You saved my life and my hand."

"From now on, wherever there is a need for me, Chen Xingzhen, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Shen Dongsu kindly reminded: "After you leave the restricted area, you will be accused of desertion, and you may be sent to three thousand miles."

Chen Xingzhen: Princess Ling, if you don’t know how to comfort people, then don’t comfort them!

When the restricted area was unsealed on New Year's Eve, the area outside the main gate was filled with people. Some came to pick up their families, and more came to thank Shen Dongsu and the imperial doctors.

Fang Zheng took the lead and knelt down, and the people all knelt down and said gratefully, if Princess Ling hadn't come to the North District.

This North District has long since become a hell on earth!

This is true. The tragic situation on the slave ship has spread all over the world, and the people in the North District are talking about it the most.

If Princess Ling hadn't come, if she hadn't established a restricted zone in time, and if she hadn't developed a special drug, would the North District have been like a slave ship, with everyone dead?

With comparison, they were even more grateful to Shen Dongsu. Many people privately gave Shen Dongsu longevity plaques.

People also spontaneously came to help with Shen Dongsu's medical clinic construction.

Shen Dongsu stepped forward to help Fang Zheng up and signaled the people to get up. She said with a smile that instead of everyone being grateful to her, she hopes everyone can always abide by the ten anti-epidemic restrictions.

The plague has not completely passed. Now the plague legends in Jiangnan and Henan Province may spread back to Chang'an City that day.

Therefore, everyone must take precautions and maintain personal hygiene. Look at the North District now, how clean it is!

Ling Moxiao stood silently outside the crowd, looking at Shen Dongsu who was smiling gently in the crowd.

At this moment, he felt as if the gem he had treasured for many years was being seen by the world.

What an honor! My princess is different from any other woman in the world.

As Chen Xingzhen returned to the Chen Mansion, word spread that his severed hand had been reattached.

A group of noble people came to see it as if they were looking at something new.

It was also spread that Princess Ling had a prescription for Ma Fei Powder. The princess could not only reattach severed limbs, but also sew up broken intestines and stomachs!

Then things became more and more mysterious. If Shen Dongsu hadn't been a woman, some people would have said that she was the reincarnation of Hua Tuo.

She said that she could do a craniotomy, but she could barely survive with human flesh and white bones.

Someone inquired that Princess Ling's father had broken a leg, and she made him a prosthetic leg.

The prosthetic legs work just like real legs, and can still walk and run.

When Shen Dongsu was taken back to Prince Ling's Mansion by Ling Moxiao, everyone he met along the way saluted at the roadside when they saw her carriage.

The people who started to salute were all ordinary people. Shen Dongsu just thought it was because he had done something good in curing the plague and the people were grateful.

Later, I met many nobles and nobles, and they stopped to salute her carriage when they saw her.

He couldn't help but ask Ling Moxiao curiously: "Why are they so grateful to me?"

Ling Moxiao held her little hand, which was a lot rougher, and turned his thumb around her wrist:

"Everyone knows that my wife can reattach severed limbs and is a miracle doctor in this world, how can I not be polite!"

Shen Dongsu is inevitably a little proud, but if the noble family supports her, it will be smoother for her to open a medical clinic and recruit female disciples.

I couldn't help but feel very good. At this moment, I heard Ling Moxiao say: "Dong Su, I'm going to Youzhou."
