The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

Chapter 89 Floods and Plagues

Yunmeng County, Huzhou.

This is a small town at the junction of Huzhou and Yuzhou.

Because the terrain is high, it has not been flooded yet.

The teams from Xiao and Tao entered the city yesterday.

However, soon after entering the city, the county magistrate of Yunmeng ordered the city gates to be closed.

As more and more refugees poured into the city, unrest broke out.

After the city gates were closed, people outside could not enter, and people inside could not get out easily. They could only wait for rescue from the court.

Therefore, Shuxin and the others were temporarily trapped here.

They stayed at Yue Lai Ju, the largest inn in the city.

At this time, Yuelai was in a room.

"how's it going?"

When Tao and Yu Ansheng saw Xiao Beiwang coming in, they both hurriedly went to greet him.

Xiao Beiwang took the Zhao father and son out to gather information early this morning, and they only returned around noon.

"The city gates are closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Not only can people outside not leave, but people inside can't come in either!"

Xiao Beiwang frowned, looking solemn.

Zhao Qing quickly informed everyone of the news he had obtained.

When Qian San heard this, he became furious.

"How ridiculous! The county magistrate of Yunmeng is really afraid of trouble. When he saw that something was wrong, he closed the city gates and retreated. Aren't we trapped here?!"

He wanted to call the person a coward, but after thinking it over, he held back.

Yesterday, he went to the county government office with the token given by Du Changchun and wanted to see the county magistrate. He planned to explain the situation to him and ask him to make some concessions and let them pass.

As a result, he didn't even get to meet the county magistrate.

Only the county magistrate came out and said in a lukewarm tone that the city gates could not be opened and asked them to wait.

So Qian San had to come back.

He was anxious and even more annoyed with the magistrate of Yunmeng.

They were trapped here, which delayed their journey.

By then, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get to Nanzhou within the specified time, which would be troublesome.

Tao Xiao's family and their relatives were pretty nice, and he didn't want to see them suffer.

Everyone was very anxious.

"Don't worry, Brother Qian. This kind of situation is rare. I think it should be feasible to find a way to petition Nanzhou when the time comes."

Xiao Beiwang said to Qian San.

His words made people feel much more at ease.

Qian San naturally believed in Xiao Beiwang's ability, and Chen Qing would definitely be able to do it.

I’m just afraid of running into a troublemaker who wants to make things difficult for others.

Never mind. The situation has already become like this. There’s no point in being anxious.

We can only take one step at a time.

Xiao Beiwang was also very worried, but he looked so calm that no one could tell.

"So when can we leave here? It's not possible to be sure of this."

Yu Ansheng stroked his beard and said with a worried look on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone sighed.

"It is said that Emperor Xuan sent the eldest and second princes to Huzhou and Xiangzhou to provide disaster relief. The magistrate of Yunmeng probably feared being dragged into the dispute, so he had to come up with this idea."

Although this approach is a bit pedantic and cowardly, for the Yunmeng County Magistrate, this is the best solution he can think of.

It’s all because the dispute over the throne in the court has become increasingly intense.

Although the current crown prince is born to the Empress, he is the legitimate heir.

But his health was too poor and he was a sickly person. He had been the crown prince for so many years but had no children.

The other princes have all grown up.

No one knew what Emperor Xuan's intention was, but he delayed sending several princes to their fiefdoms, so the princes became very restless.

Among them, the eldest prince born to the late queen and the second prince born to the imperial concubine have the highest support.

The disputes are almost all on the table.

Xiao Beiwang only thought about this in his mind and did not say it out loud.

However, Shu Xin understood what he meant after a little thought.

The so-called court dispute was nothing more than a fight for the throne.

The eldest prince and the second prince's mothers' families are prominent and they both have powerful backers, so naturally they are the ones fighting the most fiercely.

This disaster relief will definitely not be peaceful.

However, those in power constantly fight with each other, and the common people suffer the most.

Shuxin had a profound experience at this moment.

Originally, she thought that all this was just a description in the book, but when she experienced it herself and witnessed it with her own eyes, she suddenly put away her contempt in her heart and gained a deep understanding of all this.

I only feel the suffering of the people.

However, her abilities were limited and she could not save the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty at all.

The only solution for now is to find a way to solve the current predicament they are facing.

"I don't know where the imperial court's disaster relief team is."

Shuxin glanced at the sky outside and felt worried.

"I'll try to find out more. If you have any good suggestions, feel free to give them to me."

Xiao Beiwang looked at Shu Xin and trusted her very much.

No one present raised any objection to this statement.

On the contrary, Tao and Qian San were looking at Shu Xin with anticipation.

"I don't know how long we have to stay here. We have to buy as much food as possible and store it before it gets completely chaotic."

Shuxin suggested.

The others all nodded.

"Leave the food to me. I'll go now."

Qian San volunteered.

Wu Zhiyong and Tao Zhiyi also expressed their desire to go with him.

Before, Qian San was in charge of food and other supplies for Du Changchun, and was also responsible for purchasing.

He is mature and wise, and Shuxin feels very confident in him.

But Shuxin also thought of one important thing.

"Dad, I'm worried that a plague might break out in this situation. Therefore, we need to stock up on more medicinal herbs."

Shu Xin looked at Yu's father with a serious expression.

It was rare for Shu Xin to show such an expression, and everyone was surprised.

plague?

"Xin'er, no way?"

Tao was very scared when she saw Shuxin's expression.

There are so many of them, old and young, it would be troublesome if they were infected with the plague.

Without waiting for Shuxin to answer, Yu Ansheng nodded solemnly.

"Yes, this possibility is very high. The medical notes of the Tao family's ancestors also mentioned the situation after the two floods, and mentioned the plague. The situation is not optimistic, we must prepare early."

Yu Ansheng sighed and said to everyone.

Tao knew about the medical notes.

Seeing that others didn’t understand, I had to explain it to them in detail.

After listening, everyone fell silent.

Because they all knew that the possibility of an epidemic breaking out was very high.

Wu Zhiyong became even more worried about his uncle.

He paced back and forth, looking panicked.

Shuxin glanced at him.

"Calm down. There's no point in getting anxious now. We can't leave the city."

Wu Zhiyong wanted to yell at the person, but when he met Shu Xin's calm gaze, he immediately lost his temper.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Wu Zhiyong looked listless, his eyes full of despair.
