Ji Yanli led Mo Yunyuan and his party, traveling day and night, finally arrived near the Minjiang River.

Before reaching the Minjiang River, he was stopped by a group of soldiers nearby, "Who is it?"

A soldier beside Ji Yanli hurried forward two steps and said, "This is General Ji, we are ordered to come to support Minjiang."

Hearing this, the soldier had a strange look in his eyes. He exchanged a glance with a soldier next to him and said a few words. The soldier glanced at Ji Yanli twice and ran away in a hurry.

"Quickly go and tell the prefect Cao that someone from above has been sent here."

The soldier took a look at Ji Yanli and ran away in a hurry. "Yes Yes."

The remaining soldier said, "General Ji, please follow me."

Then he took Ji Yanli and them to another place, and did not let them enter the city.

Outside a wasteland, there are some simple places that can shelter from wind and rain for doctors to treat sick people.

Although Ji Yanli had already guessed that the people in Minjiang were not having a good time before coming here, he never thought that it had reached this level.

The faces of the sick people were red and swollen, and some people even had red spots all over their bodies.

"General Ji, please wear a veil, this disease is contagious."

Seeing General Ji coming, the guarding soldiers hurriedly handed them the prepared veil.

"How...how could it be so serious."

Ji Yanli tied the veil for Yun Yuan first, and then tied the veil herself.

On the contrary, Doctor Zhang put on his veil calmly, and asked the doctor who had been here for a long time, "Tell me about the specific manifestations of this disease."

"People who have just started to get sick will only have lesions on their faces, which are not obvious. In severe cases, the skin will cause damage to their appearance, and even muscle weakness." The doctor wiped the man on his face and said, "This is also the first time this officer has encountered such a situation."

Doctor Zhang asked while observing the sick people, "Is there any more? Tell me everything you know now."

The doctor didn't dare to be careless, and said everything he knew, "When the disease is at its worst, it can even lead to severed limbs.

Before, Xiaguan thought it was just a simple ailment, but later discovered that the disease was contagious. Now almost all the people in the Minjiang area are infected with this strange disease. "

Speaking of this, the doctor felt a little guilty, "I am ashamed, I have learned so many years of medical skills for my officials, but I don't even know what kind of disease it is, and there is no way to cure it. The only thing I can do now is to try my best to suppress it." Live this strange disease and prevent him from having an attack, and have not yet found a way to control this evil disease."

Doctor Zhang also saw this disease for the first time, and said with relief, "This is also the first time I have seen such a strange disease. Can you show me the prescriptions you have prescribed these days."

"Naturally, naturally. I'll go and get it now."

From just now, Ji Yanli felt very strange why the soldiers did not let them enter the Minjiang River, but took them away from other places.

"Why should the sick people be placed in the wild and not enter the city?"

The soldier replied, "This is also what the doctors ordered before, saying that the people are infected with this disease because of the things in the city."

Ji Yanli looked up a few times, "Then where were the doctors before?"

The soldier replied evasively, "All pawns... pawns."

Ji Yanli naturally noticed his strangeness, and exchanged a glance with Mo Yunyuan.

Mo Yunyuan shook his head, signaling him not to be impulsive, they just came here and they don't know much about the situation in the Minjiang area.

Ji Yanli looked at the people in front of him who were suffering from a serious disease and asked, "Then are all the people in Minjiang here?"

"Yes Yes!"

Looking at the few people left, Ji Yanli asked, "Where are these people left?"

The soldier didn't dare to look Ji Yanli in the eyes and said, "Yes."

Ji Yanli asked again, "Is there...no one in the city?"

"Yes……"

Before Ji Yanli was about to say something, a fat man with big ears came over with a group of officers and soldiers behind him.

"This is General Ji, right? The official didn't know it until the next day, so he rushed here in a hurry, and sometimes he was greeted by a long distance."

Ji Yanli responded politely, "Your Excellency must be the prefect of Cao, right?"

"Yes, yes." Magistrate Cao was already round, and when he smiled, the flesh on his face squeezed together, "General Ji can ask me any questions, how can he know anything as a soldier?"

Governor Cao waved his hand at the soldier, signaling him to leave quickly, then looked at Ji Yanli graciously, and said seemingly unintentionally, "The doctor said earlier that the city was too dangerous, so the officials moved the people out. , blocked the city gate and sent heavy guards to prevent unknowingly passing people from breaking in. Although the conditions are a bit poor, their lives can be saved anyway, General Ji, do you think so?"

"Yes!" Ji Yanli tentatively said again, "However, Governor Cao also knows that we are here to solve this evil disease. Since the city is the key to discovering the evil disease, then I should go to the city to find out."

After all, Zhifu Cao was a person who had been in the officialdom, so he said with a natural attitude, "Oh, Mr. Ji, you can't do it. You have a noble status, how can you go there, the city is dangerous now, if you want to know something, If you say a word, the next official will come, and he will know everything, and he will say everything!"

"Really? Master Cao's words are reasonable." Ji Yanli immediately said, "Then I will trouble Master Cao."

"Yes, yes." Zhifu Cao suddenly noticed that behind Ji Yanli was a man in white, who was very handsome, and quickly reached out to him, "This is the general's wife, right?"

Ji Yanli looked at Zhifu Cao's hand in disgust, feeling that he looked at Yun Yuan with lustful eyes.

Ji Yanli calmly pulled Mo Yun away from his side, "Forgive me, Governor Cao, my wife doesn't like to be in contact with others."

Governor Cao didn't feel embarrassed by Ji Yanli's obvious refusal, and said cheerfully, "Nothing, nothing. Look at this officer's memory. General Ji must be very tired from all the traveling. Take General Ji and his wife to rest, please come with me."

"We don't live here?" Ji Yanli and Mo Yunyuan followed Cao Zhifu for a while and said, "The city gate is closed, where are we going?"

Cao Zhifu: "General Ji, what are you talking about? How can you live with them in your identity? There are several people's homes nearby. These days, General Ji and your lady, please feel sorry for you and temporarily live in There."

Ji Yanli originally thought that he was living with the common people, but only later did he find out that the common people were all government servants.So he asked, "What about the people who used to live here?"

Governor Cao said with a natural expression, "After hearing that the Minjiang River was suffering from a serious illness, we moved away in a hurry. We saw that there was no one there, so we moved in."

Governor Cao pushed away a room that had been tidied up, "The conditions are poor, General Ji and Madam, please bear with me."

Ji Yanli thought of the group of sick people who lived in tents made of a few pieces of rags, and there was a nameless anger in his heart, and Mo Yunyuan stopped him when he was about to speak.

Mo Yunyuan smiled politely at Cao Zhifu, "Where, Cao Zhifu is bothering you."

Prefect Cao had a round face full of smiles, "Then I won't disturb the rest of you two."

Just as Ji Yanli was about to speak, she stopped when she heard footsteps not far away. It should be that Zhifu Cao and his subordinates were still eavesdropping outside.

Ji Yanli and Mo Yunyuan looked at each other, and Mo Yunyuan knew what he meant, and said, "That prefect Cao is very knowledgeable. Although the conditions here are not as good as those at home, Yanli, you should put on an air, why bother to act like that just now?" angry."

Mo Yunyuan was afraid that the pedestrians outside would not be able to hear him, so he increased his voice.

Mo Yunyuan's words not only explained Ji Yanli's anger just now, but also dispelled Zhifu Cao's suspicion.

Cao Zhifu, who was eavesdropping outside, smiled, and sure enough, the two of them are not good people.

He waved his hand, signaling a group of people to follow him lightly.

Ji Yanli listened to the commotion outside, and when there was no sound, she went to the door to confirm, and after confirming that the prefect Cao had left, she said, "There must be something wrong with the prefect Cao!"

"Yes, but it's not easy to break the face with him now." Mo Yunyuan looked at some of the room, and then flipped through the cabinets on the side, "Look at Yan Li, there are not only clothes but also many valuables in this room. If it is really a fleeing person, how could he not take away the silver and clothes."

Ji Yanli touched the clothes made of coarse cloth, "And what kind of shameful things are there in the city that need to be covered up like this?"

Mo Yunyuan touched the coffee table and found that it was clean, "Presumably, the prefect Cao has been taking precautions against us these few days. After a few days, when he clears up his suspicions, we will find a way to go to the city again."

Ji Yanli: "That's fine, let's tidy up first, and stay here for the time being these days."

Ji Yanli walked to Imperial Physician Zhang and saw him studying a boy's arm, "Doctor Zhang, how are you doing?"

Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head, "This is the first time I have seen this symptom, it is very strange."

Ji Yanli looked at the boy lying weakly in his mother's arms. His mother's face was also covered with red spots, and she couldn't see her original appearance clearly.

Ji Yanli couldn't bear it, and asked, "Then there is a solution?"

Doctor Zhang still shook his head.

"Dinner is served, dinner is served!" Several soldiers yelled.

Ji Yanli took a look. One bowl of clear porridge and two steamed buns for each person, although not very good, but the situation is already very good now.

Mo Yunyuan found that many people only ate a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and hid the other full head. The mother and child in front of him did the same. The mother asked the child to finish his share, and then drank it herself. For a bowl of porridge, put away the two steamed buns.

Ji Yanli also found out, and asked the boy's mother, "What are you doing? Why don't you eat?"

The mother looked up at them, hesitated to speak, then looked at the soldiers not far away, lowered her head and did not speak.

Ji Yanli frowned, feeling more and more that the prefect Cao and these people revealed an indescribable weirdness.
