Dugong is polite, Xiaosheng can't stand it

, so you plan to take it back? "

The scholar smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's sold! It should be worth a lot of money."

Xue Yu slapped the table!The scholar trembled in shock, and Han Jian couldn't help sweating coldly.

"Master Xue, calm down."

The scholar looked at Xue Yu blankly: "What's wrong?"

Xue Yu stretched out his hand: "The clothes are back."

The scholar held the burden, turned his body to the other side, and shook his head: "No, you don't want this clothes if you think it's dirty, you should keep your promise if you give it to Xiaosheng."

"Then what if you sell it for silver?"

"Naturally, it's a lot of wine...cough cough." The scholar hurriedly covered his mouth and gave a fake cough twice, then changed his words in a serious way: "Naturally, it's helping the poor."

Han Jian pretended not to see or hear, and this scholar was really the only one who dared to play tricks in front of Duke Du.

"How can Xiaoer cook so slowly? Xiaosheng's stomach is flattened by hunger."

The scholar said while stroking his stomach. He had been hungry for a long time and couldn't hold it any longer.

When the dishes were all served, the scholar quickly finished his meal and ran to the inn room, for fear that he would have to pay the money. Xue Yu saw that he ran quite fast, shouldn't the nerd talk non-stop every day? Why is this scholar? It just fell into the eyes of money.

(19) critical

Unexpectedly, another imperial decree came halfway, urgently calling Xue Yu back to Beijing, and transferring the scholar to Rong'an City, which was flooded.

Xue Yu asked Han Jian to stay and go to Rong'an City with the scholar, while he hurried back to Beijing with his troops.

It was only two days away from Rong'an City, the scholar had some typhoid fever and couldn't stand the jolting of the horse, so he had to slow down the itinerary.

Rong'an City is already flooded with plague and plague, and it has already been infected with plague, which is absolutely terrible.

"Lord Zhao, I'm already tired from the journey today, why not find an inn to rest, after all, it's only two days away from Rong'an City, so there's no need to delay."

"No need, the schedule has been delayed a lot, and we can't delay any longer."

The scholar didn't know why at this moment, but there seemed to be something missing in his heart.

Han Jian stayed by Zhao Jun's side under the order of Duke Du, but he couldn't see what was wrong with this useless scholar. He was simple-minded and weak-bodied, and only knew how to talk poorly.

The scholar is not afraid, the people here should be busy with the epidemic, and the imperial doctor sent by the emperor probably does not have his own heart, and is still delayed on the way.

Thinking of this, he needs to see what it is like here that the emperor would send him, a scholar who has not yet reached the court, maybe it is really serious.

And the moment the scholar stepped into the gate of the city, he was dumbfounded, what a miserable life this is!

These people are all covered with festered skin, none of them are good, and all the people lying on the road are dead.

These corpses that came into view even contained children.

"The next official sees Mr. Zhao."

In front of him was a fat man with a face covering tied on his face. He was probably defending against the plague, but the face cloth couldn't cover his big face.

"Are you the magistrate here?"

Hearing the scholar's question, the chubby adult nodded. Although he was facing the scholar, he kept frowning. That's right, in such an environment, who can live with peace of mind.

Cough cough, the scholar only coughed twice, and the fat magistrate hid far away, looking at him in horror.

"What are you hiding for? I suffered from the wind and cold in Changning City a few days ago, not the plague."

When the fat man heard that it was so, he felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xiaguan Yuan Hao is the county magistrate here, Master Zhao, if you have any questions, just ask me."

The scholar nodded faintly, and Yuan Zhixian made a gesture of invitation, and the scholar followed the guidance of the magistrate, and walked slowly forward to his government office.

"My lord, please take your seat."

The magistrate stood aside and gave up the big seat to the scholar, and the scholar also understood that he must not refuse at this time, this is the proper official etiquette.

This seat can be given up at any time, but only at this time can it not be backed down.

If there is no prestige at this time, it will be even more difficult to rectify the turmoil here.

After the scholar sat on the big seat, Yuan Zhixian began to slowly talk about the outbreak of the epidemic.

It was originally brought after a flood.

At first, some villagers had some rashes on their faces, thinking it was just an allergy to something, but gradually, it became more complicated. The place where the rash had originally started to fester and emit a foul smell.

Since the first one, the disease has spread rapidly.

The doctor finally diagnosed that this was an outbreak of a plague. It never occurred to me that an unintentional mistake would cause a plague to break out!

More and more people are infected with the plague, but even if they want to control it, they can't control it now. Until now, the plague broke out even in their government office. After the first one, the number of people Only increase, not decrease.

"When the plague breaks out, the sick must be housed separately to prevent infection. How did you, the county magistrate, do it?"

The scholar frowned at this moment, and he seemed to be extremely anxious. When the magistrate heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"My lord atones, my lord redeems my sins, and I made a big mistake because of my own selfishness. Please punish me, my lord!"

The scholar was just complaining casually, but when he saw the magistrate in front of him kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to himself, after all, this matter was justifiable.

"Forget it. Get up. Since I'm here, I won't just sit idly by. But in a few days, an imperial physician will come. Which imperial physician is coming from the capital."

Hearing that the scholar didn't intend to pursue it, Yuan Zhixian hurriedly talked about the imperial physician,

The doctor has already arrived!Hearing that this imperial doctor knows martial arts, he rushed for two days and managed to shorten the journey of seven days to one, and arrived here in two days.

What the scholar didn't even expect was that the imperial physician who came here was actually Luo Qing, which is really a coincidence.

At this time, the scholar just nodded his head, but who knew, a guard ran in hurriedly at the door over there!His face was full of fear.

It turned out that there was another movement on the other side of the embankment.

When Yuan Zhixian heard that Zhao Jun was about to find a way to control the flood, he hurriedly ran to lead the way, feeling a little uneasy.

They hurried to the side of the embankment, looked over there from the shore, and saw the washed-out embankment below.

The original dike and dam are already unsupportable at this moment. If there is another rain, even a light rain will collapse the dike and dam.

Zhao Jun glanced at the dike that had become ruins and knew that the dike didn't seem to have been built long ago, but now it looks like an old dike that has been washed into this state for more than ten years.

"Yuanzhi County, how many years ago was this dam built?"

Yuan Zhixian shook his head. He took over two years ago and was only assigned here. In fact, he was like a mirror in his heart. Something happened to the embankment, so he must go through the old account. This matter has nothing to do with him, so he naturally doesn't want to Offend.

Seeing Yuan Zhixian shaking his head, Zhao Jun was filled with boredom. He didn't believe that Yuan Zhixian didn't even know about this matter.

"Master Zhao, this embankment is just like this, do you want the people to evacuate as soon as possible?"

Evacuate?It's so simple!

At this time, the plague was spreading in Rong'an City. If the plague was brought out, it would cause even greater panic. It must be impossible!

Seeing Zhao Jun's frowning expression, Yuan Zhixian also had some ideas in his heart.

Think about it too, isn't the emperor sending them here to solve these things?Without a single soldier to let them rebuild the dam, it is clear that they are left to fend for themselves!

"Yuanzhi County, how many people are still available in the yamen at this time? They are in good health and can carry things."

This sentence caught Yuan Zhixian's attention. Originally, there were yamen servants in his government office, but now there are not many people left, and if they can work, there are not many. one.

"Back to Mr. Zhao, this... this..."

Hearing this, Zhao Jun waved his hand and didn't ask Yuan Zhixian to continue talking, which was obvious enough.

Most of the current embankment has been washed away. If it is repaired, there should be no great danger. If the side is reinforced a little, it can still be lifted for a while, at least until the plague in Rong'an City passes, and it will be demolished after passing. A rebuild is also good.

"Find a way to find some capable labor, come here and wait, and make a decision after I check it out."

After Zhao Jun said this, Yuan Zhixian responded and ran back in a hurry. If it is a little late at this time, there will always be mistakes.

(20) Check

"Han Jian, come and help me, I want to go down and have a look first."

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, she had stepped on the ground and was about to take a shortcut. Although it was very dangerous somewhere, but now she didn't know how it had been washed away, and she had no way of doing it.

Han Jian looked up at the crumbling embankment, and reminded: "Lord Zhao, you must not do it. It may not be so dangerous down below, so be careful."

But Zhao Jun shook her head at the other side, and walked slowly. If you don't understand it now, you don't know where to start to repair it later.

Watching Zhao Jun go down step by step, Han Jian felt like a big rock was hanging in his heart, which made him fearful. If Zhao Jun had an accident at this time, he would lose a helper, and he would surely die here. .

And after Zhao Jun walked down, it took half an hour
