Chapter 1681 Extra: Ome (21)
No one has forgotten that plague.
It was precisely because of that plague that the original Bei Canghuang abdicated and Duan Ting ascended the throne.
Qiqi didn't answer the girl's words, but pulled her sleeves and led her to walk forward faster.
Along the road, people were displaced and mourned everywhere.
However, the gates of Wucheng are guarded by heavy soldiers, and all people who are suspected of being sick are refused to enter. Countless angry people have already crowded the gate of one side.
Hongdou and Qiqi were also blocked.
"Why didn't you let us in?" Hong Dou frowned and asked angrily.
"Wucheng is now under martial law throughout the city. The magistrate has issued an order that anyone who is sick is not allowed to enter the city, so as not to spread the disease to the people in the city!"
"As a parent official, what is the reason for not allowing people to go to the city to see a doctor? It is the attitude of the government to say that our disease is contagious before the diagnosis, and stop us outside the city?!" Immediately attracted guards beat.
"Look at those people on the side of the road, isn't it because of infectious diseases that so many people will get the same disease? You kill you, and you still want to harm the people of Wucheng? The magistrate ordered the city gates to be martial law just to protect the people! Don't have eyes Do you know what will happen if you insult the imperial court officials! Court death!"
The city gate was in chaos.
Hongdou's pretty face sank, she was angry at the guards for being a pawn to the tiger, and at the magistrate's audacity, and was about to teach those dogs a lesson when her wrists were grabbed by the man and the clothes.
Qi Qi shook her head at her, her calm eyes made Hong Dou calm down quickly.
This is Dongyue, not Nanling, even if she is strong now, it will not help the whole situation, and will even push the people into a more difficult situation.
The current plan is for them to find a way to enter the city and see what's going on in the city before making any plans.
"The ones you want to stop are the sick people. Our sister and brother are not sick, nor are they from the neighborhood, so we can pass through?" Hongdou said to the guards in front of him, "Furthermore, although the magistrate ordered the city to The gate is under martial law, but the gate of the city has not been closed, which means that your lord does not intend to keep everyone out of the city, otherwise it will not affect the business travel in the past, and then affect the livelihood of the people in the city?"
The guard looked at Hongdou and Qiqi a few more times, and saw that they were well-dressed and well-mannered, not comparable to ordinary people, so they softened their tone, "Who are you, and what are you doing in the city?"
Hong Dou took out a small token from his pocket and showed it to the guards.
Impressively, he saw that there was a character for money engraved on it, and the pattern of gold ingots was engraved, which was exactly the same as the signboard of the shop opened by the Qian family in the city.
The guard suddenly became polite, "It turns out that he is from Nanling Qianfu, and his eyesight is so small. Young master, please."
let go.
Walking into the city gate, you can feel the different atmosphere in the city, noisy, lively and prosperous.
It's a world of difference from outside the city.
"Qiqi, let's go to the Yamen."
The young man nodded, this time he didn't stop her again, but walked ahead and led her to find the location of the yamen.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the yamen, he saw a group of people coming out, all wearing official uniforms, surrounded by those in the middle of the four ranks of official uniforms, full of brains and fat stomachs.
"My lord, I heard that there are more and more people gathering outside the city. If you stop them all the time, you're really not afraid of anything happening?" the little official tried with a flattering smile.
Hongdou pulled Qiqi back two steps, listening attentively.
"What happened? What happened? This official is thinking of the people in the city, and at the same time, he is looking for a way to treat the sick people. Before finding a way, he just wronged them temporarily and didn't let them enter the city. God listens, there is no one like me." The magistrate snorted and didn't care much.
