Chapter 1046 Human Face Plague
The butler was a little aggrieved by the yelling, and he whispered: "The two Miao people said that the little genius doctor told them that they could come to the National Teacher's Mansion to find her if they needed anything. He also said that the little genius doctor was their lifesaver..."
Savior? Gu Ye blinked his big eyes, and said to Ling Juechen: "It should be the Kenkun father and son, I don't know if they came to me, what's urgent..."
Luna's family are all sensible, if it's not really something, they probably wouldn't rush to disturb her.
Gu Ye got up and walked towards the outer courtyard, not forgetting to tell Situ Yan: "Master, you can't beat me, and you don't need to trouble the servants. Butler, you have been wronged by following such a master!"
"What do you mean? It's as if I'm treating my servants harshly!" Situ Yan followed angrily.
"You don't abuse your servants, but you have a bad temper and love to blame others. Do you dare to say that the housekeeper doesn't feel wronged now? What did I say wrong?" Gu Ye went back.
Situ Yan glanced back at the butler who lowered his head and eyes, and swallowed the scolding again. Who is in charge of this National Teacher's Mansion? Did he lose his right to reprimand his servants?
"Patriarch? Uncle Kenkun, why are you here?" Gu Ye didn't expect the patriarch to come. It seems that the trouble they encountered is not small!
The old patriarch and Ken Kun huddled in their chairs restrainedly, not even daring to look around. This is the National Teacher's Mansion, the national teacher has one person under one person and more than ten thousand people, and he manages all the officials for the emperor.
They little common people dare not say a word when they see the county magistrate, if they don't ask the little genius doctor for something, and lend them their courage, they would not dare to go to the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion! However, thanks to the little genius doctor, they were actually allowed to enter the National Teacher's Mansion, and they are still sitting in this living room...
Hearing Gu Ye's voice, the two were obviously relieved. The old patriarch and Ken Kun stood up and took a few steps towards Gu Ye. The old patriarch rubbed his hands cautiously and said, "I know the little genius doctor is busy, so I shouldn't bother you. But... I really can't do anything, please help the little genius doctor!"
"Oh? Who's sick?" Gu Ye went through the old patriarch's family members in his mind, and there was no hidden illness. Could it be that he was injured?
The old patriarch sighed, hesitating to speak, hesitated for a long time, and finally said as if making up his mind: "I heard that the little genius doctor is very good at treating the plague, I don't know you..."
Not only Gu Ye, but even the master of the national teacher was shocked when he heard it. Situ Yan took two steps forward, stared closely at the old patriarch, and asked: "Plague? Could it be that there is a plague somewhere? No! The officials below should not dare to conceal such a big matter. There is no such thing in the court these days." Kind of memorial..."
After all, Situ Yan had been a national teacher for more than ten years. In desperation, he was intimidated by officials all over his body. The old patriarch's expression changed in fright, and he knelt on the ground speechless.
Gu Ye glared at him, helped the old patriarch up, and said: "Old patriarch, don't be afraid. With me around, no one dares to do anything to you! There are many kinds of plagues, and most of them can be prevented. You Make it clear."
The old patriarch secretly glanced at Master Guoshi. Gu Ye turned around to block Situ Yan's figure.
The old patriarch was caught in a tangle again. Gu Ye didn't rush him, but poured a cup of tea and handed it to him personally. The old patriarch took a sip of tea unconsciously, gritted his teeth hard, and squeezed out a few words: "Human face plague, I wonder if the little genius doctor has heard of it before!"
"Human face plague?!" The housekeeper yelled out loudly, and the dessert in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound of shattering.
Gu Ye glanced at him, frowned, and asked, "Housekeeper, have you heard of 'Human Face Plague'?" Gu Ye said that this word was very new, and he had only seen it in a fantasy novel in his previous life. similar words. However, fantasy is fantasy after all, and it is impossible to appear in reality.
The butler swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice: "It is said that the plague on the human face is the curse of the plague god. The cursed person will have an extra face or a head. This face will eat anything. If the food cannot supply , will eat the flesh and blood of the owner until death. The key point is that this kind of human face plague can be passed from person to person. More than 30 years ago, a village in the mountain died of human face plague..."
"Legend, after all, it's just a legend! Human facial plague... I've read so many medical books, but I've only heard of human facial sores, and the infectious disease 'human facial plague', I've never heard of it!" Gu Ye said to this A terrifying and novel disease aroused curiosity.
Situ Yan frowned and searched in his mind for a moment, then said: "When I sorted out the previous cases, I seemed to have seen the record of 'Human Face Plague'. Those villagers who got sick did not die from the disease, but the local officials were afraid of spreading the disease. More people ordered the massacre of the entire village and set it on fire!"
"Tucun? Isn't it too cruel? How did you become a national teacher? Allow such vicious officials to exist?" Gu Ye frowned even tighter.
Situ Yan glanced at her as if looking at the second idiot, and said: "You are still a little genius doctor, treat your own ears first! Didn't you hear what the housekeeper said, was that a case more than 30 years ago? The one who ordered the massacre of the village Officials, they got the punishment they deserved! When this happened, I was not born yet!"
Gu Ye sighed, and said: "What's the use of being punished? Everyone in a village is dead! Old patriarch, what are you asking about the human face? Could it be..."
The old patriarch secretly glanced at Master Guoshi, hesitated for a long time, and then said cautiously: "My married daughter just gave birth to a baby boy not long ago..."
"That's a good thing! Congratulations to the old patriarch for his grandson!" Gu Ye congratulated him.
The old patriarch said with a mournful face, "What are you happy about? The baby has two heads just after it was born! People in my daughter's village say it's human face plague, and they will burn my daughter and grandson to death as a sacrifice to the god of plague." Woolen cloth!"
The smile on Gu Ye's face faded away, she looked at Situ Yan and said, "Master National Teacher, can you in Sen Country impose private punishments? Burn people to death without paying for your life?"
Situ Yan sighed slowly, and said: "Multiple ethnic groups live together in Sen Country, and each ethnic group has its own laws and regulations. Those who are closer to the city have more contact with Han people and are gradually assimilated, so it is easier to manage. In the deep mountains, there are tribes that don’t come out of the mountains all the year round, even if the court wants to intervene, it’s powerless!”
Gu Ye asked the old patriarch, "Where are your daughter and grandson now?" She was worried that the mother and daughter had already been murdered!
The old patriarch said: "I took the two sons and stole the mother and daughter out and hid them in a cave. Alas! The rumors of human face plague are too terrifying, and I don't dare to take the risk and bring them back to my own family." The village. After all, I have to think about my people!"
A surge of anger surged in Gu Ye's heart. The patriarch's daughter had only been born two days ago, and the child was young and lived in a cold and damp cave. Wouldn't this kill them? Foolishness hurts people!
