Chapter 581

Qin Zhou thought about it for a while. In fact, she didn't believe that King Qi would rebel, but what if King Qi was instigated by Murong Jie?

King Qi has been trying his best to give in these years, saying that it is peace, but peace is not that easy. Beimo has a strong army. Even if they don't invade other countries, other countries will think Beimo is a threat.

King Qi didn't understand this, and always yelled that he could live in peace with other countries, can he live in peace? Nobody wants a war.

"Xia Zi'an said that this plague is called the plague, and it was transmitted from rats and fleas. Once it spreads, people in the entire northern desert will be infected, not only in northern desert, but also in neighboring countries. General, If you think about it, if these remarks spread to other countries, what will people in other countries think?"

Qin Zhou said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. No one will believe her words."

When Qin Zhou said this, he glanced at Empress Cao. Qin Zhou was very smart, and she knew that Empress Cao was also very smart. Empress Cao shouldn't take these nonsense remarks to heart, but she deliberately brought them up in front of her. , which made her feel strange.

However, she and Empress Cao had been in contact for a long time, and although Empress Cao's words made her feel strange, she didn't think about it.

Empress Cao observed her words, and knew that she couldn't go on, so she smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop talking, let's have a drink with Ben Gong."

"Okay, I respect your wife for a glass!" Qin Zhou cleared his doubts and raised his glass.

Before leaving the palace, Empress Cao suddenly reminded, "When the general is in Beijing, pay more attention. Murong Jie is missing now. If it is true as Concubine Yi said, he may attack the general. If something happens to the general, The Beimo army lost its generals and the dragons without a leader, so they were allowed to be slaughtered."

Qin Zhou smiled lightly, with awe-inspiring manner, "Then, I really want to see what kind of disturbance Murong Jie can stir up in my Beimo territory."

After speaking, he raised his shirt and strode away.

Empress Cao stood on the stone steps of the gazebo, looked at Qin Zhou's back, and smiled slightly.

She raised her hand slowly, then dropped it.

Qin Zhou went to the empress dowager's palace to pick up the old general, and then they returned home together.

She had too many doubts about the current situation, so instead of staying in the mansion, she went out with two guards.

She wants to go to the epidemic area again to see the situation in the epidemic area.

She didn't believe what Xia Zian said, but she could only rest assured after seeing everything.

Seeing those corpses on the way back always scratched her heart like a thorn.

She came to Ancheng, tied the horse in front of the archway, and walked in with two guards.

The corpses were still piling up, emitting a foul stench, and almost vomited.

Qin Zhou covered his nose and strode in.

After the earthquake, Ancheng was in ruins everywhere. Collapsed houses blocked the roads. There were ruined buildings, rotten wood and stones everywhere. There were still corpses under some collapsed walls, and no one cleaned them up.

Ancheng is like a dead city. At a glance, there are no people walking.

As I was walking, I saw an official passing by, looking down at something.

Qin Zhou called to the official, "Where are the people in the city? Where are they all placed?"

The man glanced at Qin Zhou, "Are you from another place? Let's go, this is not where you should come."

"I came from Dongshan to seek refuge with relatives. What happened here?" Qin Zhou asked.

"Earthquake, plague, many people died." The officer waved his hand, "Go, go, don't turn around and catch the epidemic, and spread it out."

"There are so many corpses, why not clean them up?" Qin Zhou asked again.

"What's none of your business? Let's go!" The officer ignored her and walked forward.

Seeing how rude he was, the guard grabbed his arm and pulled it back, "Bold, General Qin is here, just tell the truth what I'm asking you."

The officer looked at Qin Zhou in surprise, and his attitude became respectful, "Are you General Qin?"

Qin Zhou nodded, "Tell me, why isn't the body cleaned up?"

Then the official replied: "Cleaned up, how can it be cleaned up in time? The Yamen in Ancheng collapsed long ago, and many people died. The imperial court sent people over, but they all resettled the victims. Now the victims are resettled in Nancheng. People can't take care of them, how can they take care of the dead?"

"How many people are infected?" Qin Zhou asked.

"Countless, I don't know how many, half of them are sick." The official said, and said angrily: "I don't know what happened, there were not so many patients before, Prince Qi and Princess An took a Fang Zilai said that the prescription was prescribed by the divine doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which can prevent and treat the epidemic. As a result, after everyone drank the medicine, the number of patients increased. What about the divine doctor? It is clearly a magic stick."

"What?" Qin Zhou's face changed drastically, "You mean, the concubine of the Regent of the Great Zhou prescribed medicine for the big guy, and everyone became serious after drinking it?"

"Isn't it?" said the officer.

Qin Zhou was furious, "Murong Jie, Xia Zian, how could I spare you?"

Qin Zhou turned around and asked the guard, "Xia Zian is in Muzhai now, isn't he?"

"Back to the general, I heard it is." The guard replied.

"Let's go to Muzhai!" Qin Zhou said solemnly.

The officer hurriedly said: "General, it's great that you are going to Muzhai. There are also doctors from the Huimin Department going to Muzhai, but I heard that they are all under Xia Zian's control. The villagers indoctrinate and confuse people's hearts. Now the people in Muzhai believe in her completely. She also asked the people in Muzhai to go to Qicheng to find the relatives of the third house of the general, and let them persuade the Qin family to believe her. "

"How did you know?" the guard looked at him and asked.

"The villain's cousin, who used to be a doctor in Muzhai, escaped last night, and now lives in the villain's house. If the general doesn't believe it, he can ask the villain at home." The officer said.

Qin Zhou said: "Lead the way ahead."

Qin Zhou is a person who sticks to the facts. Since she wants to investigate thoroughly, she will definitely investigate to the end.

The official took Qin Zhou to Shi'an Road in the west of Ancheng. There are still some common people living here. The houses in this area were not too damaged, and no corpses were seen on the street.

When the officer opened the door, he saw a figure hiding quickly inside.

The officer hurriedly said: "Cousin, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm back."

After the officer finished speaking, he said to Qin Zhou apologetically, "Forgive me, the general. The villain's cousin was frightened before, and he is a little scared of strangers."

After a while, I saw a man poking his head out from behind the woodpile, a man in his thirties.

His face was swollen and injured, his mouth was wide open, and he could see that he was missing two front teeth. The front teeth had just fallen out not long ago, and there were still some hematomas on the mouth.

He came out and carefully looked around. When he saw Qin Zhou, his eyes lit up and he knelt down with a plop, "General, is that you? Help, save the villain's life."

Seeing the wound on his face, Qin Zhou couldn't help frowning, "Are you a doctor from the Huimin Department? What's going on? Who caused your injury?"
