Chapter 101:
Jun Huailang's high fever continued for three days, but it did not improve at all.
The longer you have a fever, the easier it is to lose consciousness. On the third day, Jun Huailang already felt that a fire was burning in his brain, making him unable to distinguish east, west, north, south, and sometimes hallucinations.
He had to stay awake for a few quarters of hours to get the food and soup and medicine that Jinbao had placed outside the screen. After drinking the medicine, he listened to the officials outside to report to him about the situation in the city. Happening.
Fortunately, they responded in time. Although the epidemic still spread in the city, they gathered the sick people in one place for the first time. After the Jinling House temporarily blocked the dam, all the gold, silver and grain were used for the epidemic, so there was no large-scale riot in the city.
Only now, many people are still sick every day, and some officials in Jinling Mansion are also infected with the disease. Yesterday, the governor's mansion also brought out a few feverish servants. Even though there was no turmoil in Jinling mansion for the time being, people were still panicking and everyone was in danger.
Some people even began to look for some earthen recipes and secretly found people to practice magic at home. After one family or two started doing it, more people followed suit.
There are more people who practice the magic, and the rumors also rise.
Why does Jinling inexplicably produce epidemics? That's because the evil star came to Jinling this year. That evil star has always overcome parents and brothers, wherever it goes, disasters suddenly arise.
When he was in Yanyun, Yandi was inexplicably defeated and fell into the hands of the Turks. Fortunately, there was a real dragon in Chang'an, so there was no big trouble. Now, when the evil star came to Jinling, the epidemic also came naturally.
The rumors are so rampant, it is almost impossible to directly say that this disaster was caused by Xue Yan, the king of Guangling.
However, the rumors did not spread for long, and they were suppressed by Yongning Gong.
At this time, Xue Yan had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
As he expected, when they all arrived in Shandong, they immediately caught the local officials by surprise. They rushed quickly, reaching Shandong two days earlier than the usual hasty march.
At that time, the materials had just arrived in Shandong, and the prefect of Shandong was in full swing, in the name of rest and inspection, to transport the food and grass on the car to the treasury in Shandong, and then filled the car with straw to recharge .
When Xue Yan arrived, they just caught one of them, and after notifying the Shandong governor, they arrested all the people, and personally sent the officials who escorted the supplies, together with the memorial, and expedited delivery overnight. to Chang'an.
He ran two horses to death overnight, and finally at dawn, he tied all the corrupt officials to the Golden Palace, and handed them over to the Qing Ping Emperor in front of the civil and military officials together with the memorial .
As expected, Emperor Qing Ping was furious.
Immediately, he issued an imperial decree in front of the court to **** all the officials to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and let the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Master Jiang try together, and all the masterminds behind the scenes will be brought to trial.
This is a direct transfer of officials from the Xu family to the Jiang family.
After finishing this, Xue Yan didn't stay long, so he had to rush back.
The Emperor Qing Ping wanted to keep him. Originally, he sent Xue Yan to Jiangnan because he was worried about Duke Yongning. Now that there is a bigger mess, Emperor Qing Ping also recovered a little for a while, and found that he was put together by the Jiang family.
Since this is the case, he is naturally no longer willing to his son to run thousands of miles and go to the disaster-stricken place.
Xue Yan glanced at Mrs. Jiang, who was neither humble nor arrogant.
This kind of high-ranking literati who came from the imperial examinations, although it is a bit difficult and troublesome on weekdays, he also likes to gang up to eliminate dissidents. But at this time, this kind of person is also the most reassuring.
With a high position and authority like Mrs. Jiang, there would never be any danger because of this incident, otherwise, the Xu family would have brought him down long ago.
Similarly, he will not be selfish at all, nor will Xue Yan be worried at all.
"The royal father trusts Mrs. Jiang, and the son does not need to make more beaks." Xue Yan folded his fists and bowed, his voice a little hoarse due to the night's journey. "Jiangnan is in a hurry. Now that the official in charge has gone wrong again, I am really worried about my son staying in Chang'an."
He has nothing to worry about about Jiangnan. But when he thought that Jun Huailang might not eat or sleep properly while he was away, he felt uneasy.
When Emperor Qing Ping heard the words, his eyes were red with emotion.
Early this morning, Xue Yan suddenly returned with such a big case. If Xue Yan didn't care about the people when he was in Jiangnan and was in a hurry to go north to meet the grain and grass, he would not have broken through their embezzlement. See the ancestors?
Fortunately, Xue Yan allowed Jiangnan to keep the life-saving food and money.
When Emperor Ping saw this situation, he felt a little difficult to do.
The disaster situation in Jiangnan is so urgent, it is really difficult to pick out someone who is in danger.
Unexpectedly, Xue Yan stood up again at this time.
This time, Emperor Qing Ping was not worried at all.
Compared with civil and military officials, he still trusts his son more. Among his sons, the one he used the most was Xue Yan.
So, Emperor Qingping didn't even think about it, and immediately ordered Xue Yan to be fully responsible for the flood disaster in Jiangnan, and he personally escorted grain and grass and returned to Jiangnan for disaster relief.
Suddenly, the courtroom shook, and the officials looked at each other in dismay, thinking about it in their hearts.
The King of Guangling personally arrested the corrupt officials this time, and now he has full authority to deal with the floods in Jiangnan. gone.
Originally, there was a fourth prince in Chang'an who could compete with him, but now, there is no prince who can surpass him.
For a time, everyone had their own calculations and calculations.
Xue Yan had no time to pay attention to their thoughts. He clasped his fists and pushed, thanked him lightly, and turned his head to leave.
At this moment, a **** sent an urgent report.
"Report! Your Majesty! Jinling made a rush, saying that the epidemic broke out in Jiangnan, and the situation is urgent. Please make your decision!"
Xue Yan's footsteps stopped.
Immediately afterwards, those amber eyes swollen and burst out with sharp rays of light, with a hostile look, and swept straight towards the eunuch.
The **** shivered all over, only to feel that the king of **** was strangling his throat. He carefully glanced at Xue Yan, and saw those sharp eyes staring straight at the jingu in his hand.
In those eyes, blood flashed.
—
No one has ever tried it, so I drove from Chang'an to Jinling in three days.
But on the third day, Xue Yan's horses had already run to the river bank in the north of Jinling City.
For three days in a row, he did not sleep, and drove day after night. Even the well-trained Jin Yiwei by his side would not be able to bear it, not to mention the imperial physicians and the famous doctors in Beijing and Chinese who were brought on the carriage behind him, who had already been beaten up and suffered from various diseases.
Xue Yan didn't respond at all, just kept on her way.
More than half of the Jinyi guards stayed in Shandong to **** food and grass, and the rest came back with Xue Yan and the imperial physician for disaster relief.
They changed horses several times along the way, barely able to maintain the speed, but people can't stand it.
However, even so, none of them dared to speak.
Because they all saw that the state of the master these days was extremely terrifying.
He didn't sleep for several days and didn't feel tired, but his eyes were red and bloodshot.
Waiting by the Yangtze River and waiting for the transit boat, a Jin Yiwei bumped into the captain next to him, and whispered, "Hey... You said that the girl that the prince likes is in Jinling?"
The captain gave him a quick look and silenced him.
But following closely, he looked at Xue Yan.
Seeing that Xue Yan turned his back to the crowd, staring at the Yangtze River without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through the wide surging river.
The team leader nodded slightly, and the doubts of the other party's subordinates deeply agreed.
This morning, when it was bright, Xue Yan entered Jinling City.
Only a team of masked officials knocked on the door one by one, took the money from the door of each household, and put rice and grain for them.
—This is also the method that Prince Yongning came up with two days ago.
In the main hall of the governor's mansion, Duke Yongning and the prefect of Shen are discussing matters.
How many people have high fever every day, and how much medicine and how much food should be allocated, all these need to be calculated daily. Now the situation in the city is urgent, and the two of them are busy all day long, unable to rest for a few hours every day.
At this time, Shen Liufeng was also here.
"Don't mess with me!" Shen Zhifu said angrily. "Now that the epidemic in the city is so severe, where do you want to go?!"
Shen Liu was arguing with his uncle, "You let me go to Yangzhou, and I will be able to find that magical doctor again!"
Shen Zhifu was in a hurry: "What are you doing nonsense! So many famous doctors in Jiangnan are now in Jinling, and Beijing will soon send an imperial doctor, what are you creating?"
The Duke of Yongning sat aside, holding the account book in his hand, and said nothing.
If you look closely, you can see his red eyes and tight lips.
His own child was infected with the epidemic, and he was naturally the most anxious and distressed.
But Jun Huailang issued a death order himself, and no one was allowed to see him. Duke Yongning knew that his son was worried that the disease in him would spread to others. He was in a position of high authority, and he was in contact with the core officials of Jinling, but if he got infected, Jinling would lose even a principal.
Therefore, Duke Yongning could only bear it and wait for them to deal with the epidemic in Jinling and find an antidote to save his life.
Engong Ning is anxious, but he also knows that what Shen Liufeng said about the magic doctor is extremely unfounded, and it is completely unfounded.
Shen Liufeng argued with reason.
"What's wrong with me!" he exclaimed. "Huailang has been ill for a few days. If he continues to burn like this, wouldn't he burn everyone down..."
At this moment, there was a sound from the door.
A few people looked out and saw Xue Yan standing there.
His robe is not very messy, but his eyes are bloodshot and his lips are chapped. He stared closely at the few people in the room, his hands were hanging by his side, and the back of his hands were full of blue veins.
For a time, there was silence.
Jinyi guards and horses were parked outside the door. Just now, Xue Yan actually rode his horse all the way through the courtyard to the council hall.
Finally, he stared at Shen Liufeng and opened his mouth.
"You said just now, what happened to Jun Huailang?" His voice was frighteningly hoarse. "Where is he."
