MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 155 Son of a bitch!
Pei You was so sleepy last night, yet she still got up early the next day.
When Wen Ning woke up, he was nowhere to be seen. She changed into men's clothing and left the inn after washing. Her two carriages had been taken over by Pei Yuna and his team, and the driver and guards had also been sent away.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it made sense after thinking about it carefully.
Pei You has a serious business, so it is impossible to walk with a group of ordinary people.
Wen Ning didn't say anything, and got into the carriage driven by them very cooperatively.
Pei You was not in the carriage, Wen Ning lifted the curtain to take a look before leaving. He is the same as yesterday, one person in the lead, riding alone on the horse. I don't know if he didn't intend to take the carriage, or he was angry with her like last time, so he didn't take the carriage with her.
Wen Ning didn't want to think about it carefully either.
She said everything that should be said last night, and she didn't know that he fell asleep after hearing those words.
Even though there were two more carriages, a group of people was still running fast, but the further they went to the southwest, the worse the road conditions were, and there were more and more refugees along the way.
Wen Ning became more and more worried as she watched.
The epidemic in this life seems to be more ferocious than that in the previous life. In the previous life, it spread for two months, and the people could not buy Shi Ying at all, so it attracted the attention of the court and the central government.
In this life, as Pei You said, in just one month, all the thirteen cities in Lingnan fell, and it is not ruled out that other towns have spilled over.
But thinking about it the other way around, in the previous life it was because of the slow rise that the imperial court despised it. This time Pei You went to the epidemic area in person and brought 20,000 Xie family troops with him. Maybe he can control it in time.
Pei You probably didn't hear a few words of what she said that night, or heard some, but she was still puzzled?
Anyway, I didn't pay much attention to her along the way.
Not only did he ignore her, but I don’t know why he told the accompanying soldiers that she was a drug dealer who intends to go deep into the epidemic area and seek wealth in danger?
The eyes of the crowd waiting to look at her... It's hard to describe.
But for the carriage full of medicinal herbs, it's amazing. One day it rained heavily, and it stopped for half a day, and rewrapped the medicinal materials inside with oiled paper.
Don't talk unless you talk to her, it's not like she can't listen to the corner.
Every time she took a break at the post station, Wen Ning would listen to the chatter of the soldiers with her ears pricked up.
Although they deliberately concealed some key information, Wen Ning still understood.
Sure enough, people outside the epidemic area are already panicking. There are not a few people who buy medicines and hoard medicines.
More than 30 of them went first, and at the same time, several teams were collecting medicinal materials in other places and preparing to send them to the epidemic area.
And the 20,000 heavy troops were divided into two batches. One group guarded the border between Lingnan and Yizhou to control the outflow of refugees from Lingnan, causing the epidemic to spill over;
As long as the epidemic does not spill out, the medicinal materials to be collected are sent to the epidemic area, and the natural medicine will cure the disease.
Wen Ning thinks this method is feasible.
It just takes time to collect medicinal materials and send them over, but sealing off the epidemic area and not allowing refugees to leave the country will inevitably cause some riots.
That's why Pei Youcai went to Wuxi, where the epidemic was the worst, to stabilize people's hearts?
Wen Ning silently counted her cart of medicinal materials, there is enough for one or two hundred people, if you use it quickly, it may be enough for 300 people. I just don't know what the situation is in Wuxi now. If there are too many infected people, I'm afraid it will be...
Why.
Wen Ning sighed.
I just hope that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are still safe and sound.
As for Pei You, every time he stopped to take a rest, the latest news would reach his ears.
"My lord! Wuxi is not optimistic. The imperial court ordered dozens of doctors before and after, and now all of them have collapsed. Four of them have...died of illness. Most of the more than a hundred people dispatched by the six ministries to help are out of support. The medicinal materials in Wuxi City have already been exhausted. , now the people's grievances have risen to the sky, the government offices are too busy to take care of themselves, and the city...is already in chaos."
The person who came to report was a general named Min in the Xie family army.
As early as entering Lingnan territory, another five people with strong skills were ordered to go to Wuxi to find out the situation, but the news that came here was actually worse than the last.
"The medicinal materials have been sent to Lingnan as much as the adults ordered, but..." General Min frowned, "There are profiteers among the people who do evil and wantonly stir-fry herbs. There is a blind 'cong tree' fried in the prescription Qianjin, the merchants have already sold out their hands, and the common people cherish what they have, so...the lack of a medicine, I don’t know if it will affect the efficacy of the medicine..."
When he was away from home, Pei You was not so particular. He sat casually on the steps of the post station, put his hands on his knees, fingers interlaced, and looked calmly at the mountain forest not far away.
General Min has been with Pei You for a while, and has a little understanding of the temperament of the eldest son, but he is a straight-tempered general after all, and he is still not used to the deep style of civil servants.
Seeing that Pei You didn't speak for a long time, he became a little anxious.
"grown ups?"
"Yes." Pei You twirled his fingers and responded lightly.
Now General Min is even more anxious.
They are used to fighting with generals, and they don't know why this time, Mr. Xie took the initiative to resign from His Majesty after Pei Shilang took over the work of going south to the epidemic area. Hesitantly dispatched 20,000 elite soldiers to the southwest.
Although Xie’s army was stationed at the border of Lingnan more than ten years ago, it was the Nanman who killed them at that time, and they rushed forward with a knife in their hands. How have they ever dealt with such a complicated situation?
He was so anxious that he was about to break out in sweat. He didn't know whether to urge him again, but the deep and uncertain Shi Ziye finally said: "Send the situation to Beijing, and order the Imperial Hospital to provide alternative medicinal materials as soon as possible."
His voice was light and he seemed to be talking about a very common thing, but it made people dare not take it lightly: "Tomorrow, when you enter Wuxi, you will separate the sick from the healthy overnight and treat them separately. Follow me to the yamen, and open a warehouse to release grain."
General Min took the order hurriedly, Pei You said again: "Pass this order down, other cities follow this method and wait for the medicinal materials to enter the city."
In addition to their team, other towns also have vanguard troops, and they should have arrived in these two days.
"As for the cart of medicinal materials." Pei You withdrew his gaze from the forest, and glanced lightly at the carriage parked in front of the post station, "After tomorrow's division, priority will be given to the elderly, young, women and children, and the rest will wait for the next batch of medicinal materials .”
"The people in the court..."
In General Min’s view, the people who should give priority to the imperial court should be. Firstly, those who came and went from various ministries all had official positions and more or less some backgrounds; secondly, the city was in chaos, and when everyone was better off, they had more energy to manage the people well.
Pei You lowered his eyes lightly: "Treat everyone equally."
"The last general takes orders!" General Min Shen cupped his hands, and was about to leave. He glanced at another carriage and asked, "My lord, what should I do with that little drug dealer after entering the city?"
If you follow the generals' style of conduct, if you catch this kind of person who takes advantage of the troubled times to make ill-gotten wealth, you will cut off his head with a knife.
Ke Min will understand that elegant civil servants probably cannot accept such a barbaric method.
Sure enough, Pei Shizi glanced at the carriage coolly, and a cold light flashed in his thin eyes: "Lock her in the official post, and don't take half a step out of the room. She will be punished as a crime when she returns to Beijing."
General Min had a solid understanding of all matters in his mind, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and took the order to leave.
-
Being about to enter Wuxi, everyone in the group wore face scarves, and Wen Ning was no exception.
She entered the city full of apprehension, her mind full of Wen Lan and He Luan, wondering if they were sick, whether her medicinal materials were delivered in time, or what expressions they would have when they saw her.
Unexpectedly, her carriage did not go with the others, but parted ways as soon as it entered the city, and sent her to a place alone.
The entire Dayin's official post is similar, with the same style, so when Wen Ning got out of the car, she knew that she was sent to the official post first.
But the location of the official post is generally relatively remote, so Pei You should live in the Yamen this time?
Without waiting for her to clarify, she was sent to a wing with her luggage, and she closed the door without asking any questions.
Wen Ning didn't care at first, because Pei Youding had a lot of things to deal with just after entering the city, so it was understandable to send her to the official post first. She honestly packed her luggage and found that there was a bathroom in this wing. Although only cold water was drawn, it was just right for washing herself at this season.
I tidied myself up and slept again. When I woke up, it was already dark, but Pei You still hadn't come back.
It wasn't until she finished the dinner brought in through the crack of the door and wanted to open the window to see the night outside that she finally realized something was wrong.
The windows of the wing rooms were nailed down.
Not only was the window nailed to death, she went to open the door, only to find that the door was also locked from the outside.
It’s no wonder that the dinner just now was like being delivered to a prison. It was placed on the floor in one plate, and the person who came and closed the door without saying a word to her.
"Open the door!" Wen Ning slammed on the door vigorously, "Is there anyone outside? Open the door for me!"
No one answered.
The entire official station was so quiet that it seemed like she was the only one.
"Open the door! I want to see Pei You! What do you mean?!" Wen Ning was so anxious that her eyes were red.
Why lock her up?
Why is she locked here alone?
Is it because he is still angry?
Because she said last time that he was going to imprison her, did he really imprison her like this? !
"I want to see Pei You! You call him here, I have something to say to him!"
No one answered, Wen Ning kicked it with her feet instead, but this official station was built according to the uniform standard of the imperial court, and the materials were very solid, how could she kick it away easily?
Wen Ning was locked in the wing room just like that.
Three meals were delivered, just like the first night, the door was closed immediately after opening the door to put down the meal, Wen Ning talked to the visitor, and the visitor turned a deaf ear.
This place seems to have been prepared a long time ago, with a bathroom and a clean room. Someone will bring hot water every night, and there are even embroidery tents and needles for embroidery in the room.
For several days in a row, she couldn't hear any news from the outside world, and she couldn't contact anyone in this place. She didn't know what the epidemic was like here, what was going on with Wen Lan and He Luan, or... what about Pei You.
On the seventh day, there was still no sign of the door being opened. Wen Ning finally couldn't bear it any longer, and angrily threw down her job: "Bastard!"
