Chapter 276 Confrontation
Taifu Liang stopped the doctor, "What do you mean Doctor Xia hasn't been seen for a few days? Didn't she go to gather medicine?"
The doctor smiled, "Collecting herbs? What kind of medicinal materials are there? The Hu family said that all the medicinal materials in the epidemic area are supplied by them. Doctor Xia doesn't need to collect herbs at all. Before she left, she said There is no cure for this disease, and then he left."
Mrs. Liang was taken aback, "What? She said she couldn't be cured and left? She issued a military order. What do you mean she ran away? Escaped?"
General Li hastened to smooth things over, "It's impossible. Dr. Xia never said it couldn't be cured. She has been trying to find a way."
Prince Li asked the doctor, "She told you personally that it can't be cured, and then left?"
The doctor bowed, "Go back to your lord, yes."
Prince Li frowned, "Is she so irresponsible?"
Xiao Xiao said indifferently: "My lord, if she wants to escape, she won't be stupid enough to spread the word everywhere, right? Escaping with a military order is a capital offense."
Prince Li said: "I know that she is not stupid, she is still very smart, but if she is not in the epidemic area for a few days, it is irresponsible."
Everyone knows that Prince Li is right about things and not about people. He accepts death and hates irresponsible people.
Upon hearing this, Liang Taifu said to General Li: "You said she went to gather herbs, so you must know where she went to gather herbs, right? Go find her and come back."
General Li faltered and said: "Well, this general doesn't know where she went to collect the medicine."
"How come you don't know? She is the head of the epidemic area, so why don't she tell you where she goes?" Mrs. Liang said sharply.
The head of Rouyao County stepped forward and said, "What is the Taifu so excited about? You also said that Xia Zi'an is in charge of the epidemic area. Where she is going, she has her own idea, and we can't ask."
"Lord Rouyao, you shouldn't be here in the first place. There are doctors in the epidemic area. You have not been recruited. You have to leave immediately." Liang Taifu said with a straight face.
The head of Rouyao County was slightly annoyed, "The emperor's list is posted, and doctors are widely recruited. Other doctors can come in, why can't I come in? Just let others covet the gold, and I can't covet it?"
Liang Taifu said solemnly: "The emperor's list has been withdrawn a long time ago, and you have been in the epidemic area for so long, but you have not been able to cure the patients, which proves that you are not the person that the emperor's list is looking for. Clean up as soon as possible and you must leave tonight."
County Lord Rouyao turned pale with anger, "I won't leave, these patients have been taken care of by me, and I won't leave until they recover."
"Then, can the county master have a way to make them recover?" Taifu Liang asked aggressively.
County Lord Rouyao turned her face away, "I don't care, I won't leave when anyone comes, even if I can't cure them, I can also help them relieve their pain, you are not in charge here, you have no right to drive me away."
Liang Taifu said lightly: "Okay, you come back to Xia Zian, and I will tell her."
County Lord Rouyao and General Li looked at each other, both a little angry and worried. It seemed that Mrs. Liang really came to ask for trouble.
Where did Zi An go? I went there for two days and didn't come back. If Mrs. Liang were to go back and talk about it, she would definitely accuse her of dereliction of duty, or directly accuse her of running away.
Taifu Liang looked at Prince Li, "My lord, you have also seen the current situation. Xia Zi'an is not here, and these doctors are only allowed to mess around here, and people from the Huimin Bureau are not allowed to come in to help. This is simply putting the cart before the horse. Please give me an order." , Let the county master and others leave, and let the people from the Huimin Bureau enter."
Prince Li was about to speak, when he saw the door of the backyard opened, and the Eldest Princess Murong Zhuangzhuang walked out slowly, with a faint sarcasm on his face, "It's the first time for the Grand Tutor to come here? If you don't know, you think the Grand Tutor is here every day." They all came, knowing that the county lord has been here for several days, and also knowing that the doctors from the Huimin Bureau cannot come into the ancestral hall to treat the sick."
Grand Tutor Liang did not expect Murong Zhuangzhuang to be here, and was slightly taken aback, "See the princess."
Standing beside him, Xiao Xiao looked at Zhuang Zhuang firmly, then cupped his hands, "The last general, Xiao Xiao, see the princess."
In this dirty and messy ancestral hall, surrounded by a stench, Zhuang Zhuang raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiao who hadn't seen him for a long time, feeling as if he had passed away.
However, in just a split second, everything returned to calm, "The general is back?"
"Yes!" Xiao Xiao looked at her with something indescribable in his eyes, "I'm back."
I'm back, I'm back!
It's like he used to accompany him in the palace, occasionally going out of the palace and returning to the mansion for a few days, when he returned to the palace, he would go to find her first, and then tell her, I'm back.
"Little aunt!" Prince Li abided by etiquette and bowed to meet each other.
"Well, the third child is here too!" Zhuang Zhuang glanced at him indifferently, "The epidemic area does not need so many people to come, and the third child carefully was used as a knife."
Prince Li knew what Zhuang Zhuang meant, but he didn't care, after all, he was only targeting things, not people.
Zhuang Zhuang looked at the doctor just now, "I just heard you say that Zi'an told you before leaving that she couldn't cure the epidemic and she wanted to leave, right?"
The doctor replied: "If you go back to the princess, it's like this. In fact, the princess came just now and told everyone that we all have the same confession. I don't agree with everyone that Dr. Xia went to collect medicine. If Dr. Xia If you really escaped, you should report to the imperial court earlier, so that the imperial court can send someone down to take over the affairs of the affected area."
"Escape? You said escape?" The official brought by Mr. Liang stared at the doctor and asked, "Are you sure she escaped?"
The doctor replied: "It's been two days since I came back, and she did say that to me before she left, so it can be presumed that she ran away."
Liang Taifu asked: "The day the crown prince came, he said he didn't see her. Does it mean that she hasn't come back since the crown prince came to inspect?"
"Yes!" said the doctor.
Liang Taifu sneered, "If it wasn't for running away, why didn't you come back for two days? The princess told me why!"
Zhuang Zhuang said expressionlessly: "Ben Gong said that she is going to collect herbs, and the deadline has not yet come. What is the Taifu anxious about?"
Liang Taifu said indifferently: "You have to bring someone to collect the medicine, right? Besides, why did you tell the doctor that she couldn't be cured?"
"Yeah, she's going to run away, why tell people that she can't be cured? The Taifu thinks Zian is too stupid?"
Xiao Xiao said this, when Zhuang Zhuang said it, he looked at Zhuang Zhuang.
Mrs. Liang laughed strangely, "Okay, just as the princess said, she went to gather medicine, but it's too irresponsible to go there for two or three days, isn't it too irresponsible? Is there any medicine that she has to go pick herself? These fifty or so lives are waiting for her here, if she doesn't come back for a few days, even if she doesn't run away, it's still negligence."
"Neglect of duty? Does Zian have any official position? Why doesn't this palace know?" Zhuang Zhuang sneered.
Liang Taifu looked at Xiao Xiao, "What does the general think? She was ordered to come to the epidemic area, but she didn't see anyone for a few days. Is there any point in making this military order? If the person who issued the military order acted like this in the army, what punishment would he receive?" The empress dowager asked the general to monitor the epidemic area, and the general will truthfully inform the empress dowager about the situation here?"
