After rebirth, I became a national teacher

This situation made Chen Qingzhu feel depressed, and he had a bad feeling.

“Ask him why the city is closed.”

She was the sponsor who paid a large sum of money. Although the driver was a little afraid of the soldiers guarding the city, he still mustered up the courage to ask:

"Master Jun, why is the city closed suddenly?"

The soldier shouted down loudly:

"Many people in the city have been infected with the plague. The county magistrate has ordered the city to be sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave. You should leave quickly or you may also be infected with the plague!"

Upon hearing this, the coachman turned the carriage around and ran away. He only stopped when Chen Qingzhu stopped him when he was a mile away from the city gate.

The plague was so terrible that it caused thousands of miles of desolate graves.

Once infected, unless you are particularly strong, you will die.

Although this mysterious lady gave a lot of money, it is not as important as life.

The driver had made up his mind that no matter how much money the lady gave him, he would never approach the city gate again.

"Madam, I won't go to Xingde County! You'd better not go either. If you get the plague, it's no joke."

"Then you'll have to walk back to Wu County by yourself."

Chen Qingzhu didn't make things difficult for him.

Half of the cost of hiring the person had already been paid, and this time she gave an extra two taels of silver as a reward for his hard work.

The driver was very satisfied with this. He gave a few kind words of advice, then took the silver and left.

After nightfall, Chen Qingzhu parked the carriage in a dilapidated temple outside the city, set up a protective formation to prevent anyone from entering, and then took Rong Niang to explore Xingde City at night.

The city wall of Xingde City was not very high, and there were not many people guarding the city. Chen Qingzhu found a dark place and directly climbed up the city wall in three or two steps while holding Rong Niang.

Rong Niang was very well behaved and didn't make any sound.

Just as Chen Qingzhu was about to jump off the city wall, he heard a loud shout from the tower not far away:

"stop!"

Rong Niang in his arms tensed up with fear.

Chen Qingzhu also stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.

The darkness does not affect her vision, and she can see farther than ordinary people.

It turned out that there were more than a dozen civilians carrying bags at the foot of the city. They had walked to a place twenty steps away from the city gate in the dark and were discovered by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Go back! The county magistrate has issued an order that anyone who dares to disobey the order and leave the city will be killed without mercy!"

The people were somewhat frightened, but some still spoke boldly:

"We are not infected with the disease. We will not spread the disease to others if we leave the city! Please let us out, sir!"

"Yes, if we don't get out, we might get infected in the city, and that would be a dead end!"

The soldier said without hesitation:

"No! The doctor at Heling Hall said that everyone in Xingde County may have been infected with the plague, and no one can leave the city!"

The county magistrate said that what they were guarding was not the city gate, but the lives of millions of people in other counties behind them, and they must not be soft-hearted.

"What if the wealthy people in the city have already left? They may have taken the disease out with them!"

The soldier said:

"The county magistrate has already reported the list of these people to the prefectural capital. When the time comes, the prefect will definitely have people arrest and detain these people!"

The commoner was full of suspicion and sneered:

"You're kidding! How could the government detain those wealthy people?"

"Yes! You just want to lock us ordinary people up here and wait for death!"

"I heard that if the plague is too severe and cannot be controlled, it will burn down the entire city and burn everyone to death. If we don't rush out today, we will die in the future!"

Filled with righteous indignation, he saw a dozen soldiers rushing down from the city wall, with either fully drawn bows or broadswords in their hands.

The leading flag said coldly:

"No one knows whether he will die in the future. But whoever dares to break into the city gate will die today!"

"I'll count to three. If you don't go back, I'll take you all to the county government office to take care of the plague patients!"

Faced with real swords and arrows and even more frightening threats, the people who were about to break into the city gates were finally scared and went back home obediently.

Chen Qingzhu did not stay any longer and quickly flew towards the county government office with Rong Niang.

It sounded like there were quite a few patients gathered in the county government office, so she planned to go there first to take a look at the situation.
