Chapter 560 Entering the Stronghold

After the earthquake, the road to Muzhai was covered by landslides, and the bridge was broken. After the rescuers entered, the road began to break. In order to get through as soon as possible, the rescuers stayed in Muzhai to help clean up Silt, then repair bridges and official roads.

In this earthquake in Muzhai, 300 people died and more than 900 people were injured. Because they couldn’t get out, these 900 injured people died more than 200 people. Finally, they had to go to Muzhai for rescue. The officers and soldiers of the hospital had no choice but to go out to find the doctor by another road that was farther away.

Later, the doctor was invited, but who would have thought that the doctor would fall ill on the third day after entering the Muzhai.

The doctor was suffering from the epidemic, and before he entered Muzhai, he had no symptoms, so even the doctor himself didn't know about it.

After entering Muzhai for three days, he had seen and contacted almost all the wounded. These wounded had no ability to resist, and more than half of them were infected with the disease.

Because since the outbreak of the epidemic, the emperor issued a decree that all villages and areas where the epidemic has occurred must be sealed off to the outside world to cut off all contact. Private doctors are not allowed to treat the epidemic at will, and the local government must appoint doctors to go in.

The Huimin Department of the imperial court has raised a group of doctors, and there are Huimin Departments all over the country, which are equivalent to public hospitals.

The doctor who entered Muzhai with the disease was the doctor of Huimin Department.

However, since the incident happened, according to the emperor's order, the contact with the outside world was cut off, and a letter was sent out, asking the government to send a doctor in. Until now, no doctor has come.

In this way, the epidemic broke out in this wooden village. Most of those who were injured at the beginning died, a small part of them died of serious injuries, and most of them died of the epidemic.

The officers and soldiers who went in to rescue have separated the sick and healthy people into the southeast and northwest areas.

Healthy people in the East, live in the East.

Those suspected of being sick in the southern district will be quarantined and observed first.

In the West District, people who are confirmed to be sick will enter the West District directly and cannot come out. They will be shot dead by officers and soldiers as soon as they come out.

The northern area is an open space, where the bodies are being cremated. The officers and soldiers don't know much about the disease, but they also know that people who suffer from the disease will burn them with fire after they die.

In this way, from the original 8,000 people in Muzhai to when Gao Fengtian brought Murong Jie and others in, there were only about 6,000 people.

That's right, after Murong Jie and Zi'an left, they went to Gao Fengtian and told Gao Fengtian that they needed a relatively secretive doctor who had disease patients to treat and research the disease.

Moreover, this time Princess An also followed, that is to say, on the morning of the fifth day, Princess An and Gao Fengtian brought Murong Jie and others into the Muzhai.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice announced that the holy sword was lost on the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Because Muzhai cut off contact with the outside world and blocked news, no one in Muzhai knew that the Ministry of Justice said that Murong Jie had stolen the holy sword.

Until this day, Uncle Cao Guo entered the Muzhai with the forbidden army.

Why did Uncle Cao Guo enter the Muzhai?

Because Muzhai is married to the third house of the Qin family, he has to bring this matter to the Qin family. Qin Zhou is now leading the Qin family army to fight. Murong Jie's behavior of stealing the holy sword is shameful and hateful. When the Qin family's army was angry, their morale would increase greatly, and it would be equivalent to making meritorious service for the emperor.

Uncle Cao Guo entered Muzhai only to find that hundreds of people in Muzhai had been infected by the epidemic and hundreds of people had died.

Now the northern desert is very chaotic, where there is an epidemic, probably even the emperor himself does not know.

When Village Chief Mo of Muzhai saw Uncle Cao coming with his troops, he thought it was a rescue sent by the court, so he hurried to meet him.

Uncle Cao Guo frowned and looked at the patients in the west area, "What's going on? Are these people all injured in the earthquake?"

Village head Mo wiped off his sweat and said, "My lord, these are not the people who were injured in the earthquake, they are the people suffering from the epidemic."

"Suffering from an epidemic? An epidemic has also broken out in Muzhai?" Uncle Cao Guo was startled, then frowned in disgust, and stepped back a few steps on his horse.

"Your Excellency, don't you know? An epidemic has also broken out in Muzhai. The emperor only sent people to Muzhai to treat everyone two days ago. Even Princess An has come." Village Chief Mo said proudly.

"Princess An is here?" Uncle Cao Guo was surprised. This Princess An used to be famous for being stingy, and she is the kind of person who never loses everything. If there is no benefit, she will not care about it. Come to the epidemic area in person?

Is this for fame or profit?

However, since he heard that Princess An was here, he had to come down to see her no matter what.

"Lead the way, take the young master to meet Princess An." Uncle Cao got off his horse, glanced at the West District with disgust, and said, "All the patients with the epidemic should be driven outside, and they will kill others if they stay in the village. .”

"Uncle Guo, Master Su Mu arranged this?"

Master Su Mu is the captain who brought people into the Muzhai for rescue. He brought more than 30 people into the Muzhai, and now there are only 25 people left.

When the official road was dug through, three people died from the aftershock, one fell off the cliff, and the body could not be found, and several others were infected with the epidemic and died.

This is a rather tragic rescue.

"That kid Su Mu, I know, let him come to see me." Uncle Cao Guo said.

"Yes!" Village Chief Mo glanced at Uncle Cao Guo worriedly. This fellow, is he going to trouble Mr. Su?

However, probably not, when Princess An came, she also praised Lord Su.

Uncle Cao Guo walked through the west district, but saw two very good-looking women passing by carrying medicine, and they looked very good-looking.

Strange, there is such a beautiful woman in this wooden village? Could it be Princess Ann's maid?

No, the maids in Princess Ann's house are all extremely ugly, only the one next to her can see it.

These two people are definitely not Princess Ann's maids.

"Wait!" Cao Guojiu pointed to the two women and asked Village Chief Mo, "Who are those two women? What are they holding in their hands?"

Village head Mo looked in the direction of his finger, said oh, and said: "The two of them are people next to the princess regent of Dazhou. They are delivering medicine to people infected with the epidemic. Those patients cannot come out. Once they come out without permission, they will be shot."

"Princess Da Zhou?" Uncle Cao grabbed Village Chief Mo, his eyes widened, "You mean, the regent and his wife of Da Zhou are in Muzhai?"

"yes."

Uncle Cao Guo was overjoyed, "Good job Murong Jie, I searched all over the capital and couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to be hiding in the wooden village."

Because of his eagerness for meritorious service, he never thought that the village chief said that Princess An was also there.

He raised his hand and commanded the guards behind him, "Come on, take those two down for me first."

Of those two, one is Liuliu and the other is Lingli.
