At the same time, Mo Rongshi looked at Zhang Wenyuan in front of him with a hint of teasing in his expression.

"I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. You actually told such a lie that would be exposed if you just ask around."

"If this wasn't an emergency, I would have had someone deal with you first, and then consider other things."

When Zhang Wenyuan heard Mo Rongshi's words, he knew that he would not die in the short term, and he was very happy.

He looked much more relaxed at once, with a faint smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

"No need to thank me." Mo Rongshi rolled his eyes at him.

"If you weren't the highest official here and needed my cooperation on everything, I wouldn't let you go so easily."

"Remember, if you can't do well in the following matters, don't blame me for both the old and new accounts."

Zhang Wenyuan's heart tightened and he waved his hands quickly.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely get this done."

……

After entering the city, the situation inside was completely different from outside.

The scene was quiet and peaceful everywhere. Even the pedestrians who occasionally passed by on the streets would just glance at them for a few seconds and then ignore them.

At this time, the city gate had been opened, and teams of soldiers in black armor walked out.

Although many people were busy cleaning the streets, preparing carriages and other trivial tasks, it did not affect their mood at all.

The busiest places in the city are the shops.

There are actually quite a few people buying things.

You know, it’s really amazing that during this epidemic period, there are still shops open.

Of course, this does not mean that they have no business, but most of the time it is because people nowadays are busy with household affairs and have no time to pay attention to this issue.

"It seems that there are not many patients in the city?"

Mo Rongshi felt a little strange. Looking at the situation outside the city, he thought there were many patients in the city.

But now it seems that Zhang Wenyuan is not completely useless.

Song Yunchu has been frowning since he entered the city.

Now that the epidemic has occurred, we should do a good job of isolation to stop the spread of the disease.

But now, life here is going on, and some shops even sell rouge.

There are many such products that are of no use at this time, but many people still buy them.

But Song Yunchu soon noticed that most of the people who came here to buy rouge were wealthy people.

They had extra money at home, so when faced with this disaster, they were more able to withstand risks than ordinary people and were the first to recover.

"This rouge looks good, but it's a bit expensive."

At the door of the rouge shop, a noble lady led a little maid, picking and choosing among rouge, with a look of disgust on her face.

After hearing what the lady said, the boss spoke first.

"Mrs. Jin, there is nothing I can do about it. The price of rice and flour in the city has gone up, and I have to make a living..."

"What do you mean by that? Do you think my wife is being taken advantage of? Just give us such an expensive thing."

The one who spoke was the maid standing next to the lady, and she looked at her boss with a mean look on her face.

"The situation is not as good as before. There are people everywhere in this city who can't afford to eat. My wife patronizes you because she thinks highly of you... ahem..."

As the maidservant spoke, she felt an discomfort in her throat and coughed slightly a few times, but her voice was still domineering.

The boss and the lady were both concerned with other things and did not notice the maid's cough.

"I advise you to be more sensible, ahem, give our lady, lady..."

As the maid spoke, the itchiness in her throat became more and more severe.

She couldn't hold it any longer and started coughing non-stop.

Everyone around me knows that this is an extraordinary period, and if you see someone coughing, it is very likely an epidemic.

The people around quickly dispersed, and there was no one around the little maid.

Even the noble lady was like this. She almost fell to the ground because she retreated too quickly.

"I, cough, cough, I'm fine, cough, cough, my throat just feels uncomfortable... cough, cough, cough!"

When Song Yunchu saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward.

She came to the maid and grabbed her.

"You, cough, who are you? Cough cough cough!"

Song Yunchu did not answer him.

She just used the method she had learned before to help the maid relieve her cough.

The people around looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and felt very curious, especially when she touched the little maid's body, the maid's cough gradually eased.

This is... okay?

“Is this person a plague?”

People around were talking about it, but no one knew the answer to this question.

After the maid stopped coughing, instead of thanking Song Yunchu, she simply shook her hand away.

"Why are you touching me? Do you know that I don't like others touching me? Besides, I am serving my wife. What are you doing?"

Song Yunchu didn't expect that his help today didn't help at all, so he just said.

"You must have been infected with the disease. It's best to get treatment in time."

The maidservant obviously didn't believe it. She looked Song Yunchu up and down and said.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Look at your poor appearance. Are you unsophisticated and trying to extort money from rich people?"

Song Yunchu ignored what she said and turned to look at Mrs. Jin.

"Madam, you also need to be isolated for observation. After all, the epidemic came quickly."

Seeing that Song Yunchu was not joking, the maid became a little flustered, but there was still distrust in her expression.

"Are you serious? I, I can't possibly be infected with the disease..."

Her voice gradually became softer, and then she remembered that she had gone out of town alone two days ago to visit her mother and father.

When she came back, she met a pregnant woman who was coughing. Although she was far away at the time, she still had contact with the pregnant woman.

Mrs. Jin knew the maids around her very well and immediately realized that what Song Yunchu said was very likely true.

"Someone, take her directly to Qingfeng Street."

When people heard the name Qingfeng Street, many of them were stunned and no one spoke for a while.

It was not until someone mentioned Qingfeng Street that Song Yunchu knew what place it was.

Different from other places, most people living in Qingfeng Street are poor. Their families either own some land or run a small shop.

Therefore, the flow of people on Qingfeng Street is particularly large, and naturally, there are the most cases of epidemics.

When the epidemic first started to spread, Zhang Wenyuan simply blocked Qingfeng Street to save trouble, not allowing people outside to enter or people inside to leave.
