The people shouted while walking, carrying the plague god all the way to the center of the city, where there were also many people gathered, and there were three corpses in the middle of the crowd. I heard that they were found suddenly at home last night.

Several merchants in the city felt that the situation was serious, so they exchanged the silver for a ritual.

They placed the plague god in front of three corpses, and someone brought firewood and burned the plague god and the corpse capital with a handful of fire.

Several monks circled around the fire and recited scriptures, while all the other people fell to the ground, looking pious.

"Nothing! Immediately disperse the people and ask the governor Chen Ying to come to see me." Hong Chengchou witnessed the whole process and said to his opponent.

The day after arriving in Daizhou, Hong Chengchou issued a notice on Daizhou magistrate Chen Ying, informing the people of the plague and asking them to take precautions.

Emperor Chongzhen also told him that the epidemic areas should not allow the people to gather. Although Hong Chengchou did not understand, he still informed Chen Zhizhou of these things.

Now that Hong Chengchou saw the people gathered together to conduct a parade, he was of course very angry. Not long after he arrived at his residence, the governor Chen Ying rushed over.

"My Lord, I forgive my sins. This is done by the people spontaneously. The officials thought that doing rituals might be useful, so they did not stop them." Chen Zhizhou explained.

At this time, people, both the people and officials, were very superstitious about ghosts and gods. They beg for rain during droughts, send plague gods during plagues, and ask for blessings for Bodhisattvas when wars are in chaos, and Chen Zhizhou is no exception.

"As the governor of Daizhou, do you receive the salary of the court, do you believe in Your Majesty or the gods and Buddhas?" Hong Chengchou asked.

After all, Hong Chengchou has led troops and has always kept a distance from the affairs of ghosts and gods. He is now only concerned about the epidemic. Anyone who can control the epidemic and what Emperor Chongzhen has given must be executed without fail.

Chen Ying didn't know how to answer for a moment. If he said he believed in Your Majesty, he would be disrespectful to Gods and Buddhas, and vice versa. After hesitating for a while, he had to ask Hong Chengchou to forgive his crimes, and he would not be the case.

"You have been dismissed and asked the Daizhou Tongzhi to come over." Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice.

In this regard, Hong Chengchou is very similar to Emperor Chongzhen. He is both people who don’t rub the sand in their eyes, especially because the plague is so fierce that no one can afford the consequences once it spreads.

In the next half month, Hong Chengchou still wandered between various epidemic areas. Every time he came back, he strictly followed Emperor Chongzhen's instructions. He boiled his clothes and masks in water, but his brows became even tighter.

Not to mention the increase in the number of villages and towns infected with the plague, even Taiyuan Prefecture had a sick person. Hong Chengchou had to write to Sun Chuanting and seconded two thousand soldiers for blockade. What made him even more trouble was that the number of epidemic areas was increasing, but there was no progress in treatment.

Not only the number of patients is increasing, but even the soldiers on duty and the two doctors were unfortunately infected and died due to frequent contact with the patients.

Hong Chengchou gradually lost confidence in these imperial doctors and doctors, but he didn't know much about medical treatment. Seeing the increasing number of deaths every day, Hong Chengchou had nowhere to vent his worries except for surveying and blocking the new epidemic areas.

"Sir, the isolation area is not enough." The full text of the general secretary came to report.

The isolation area was only expanded a few days ago, but there were too many patients. Yesterday someone even suggested that Hong Chengchou buried the critically ill patients directly alive. These critically ill patients were almost cured, but Hong Chengchou did not respond.

Although he had thought about doing this, based on his understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, if he knew about him, he would definitely be questioned. Emperor Chongzhen sent him to save the people, not kill them.

"Expand ten tents outwards." Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice.

While he was talking, the imperial physician Ji Wenxuan suddenly stumbled out of the A room, muttering to himself while walking.

"I asked you to take medicine to treat you. Is it to harm you?" As he said that, Ji Wenxuan seemed to see Hong Chengchou, so he staggered over, pointed at Hong Chengchou and said:

"Tell me, the medical tradition and ancestral therapy, even if you can't save people, you won't kill people. What's wrong with that?"

When he reached a distance of more than ten steps from Hong Chengchou, two black blood suddenly appeared in Ji Wenxuan's eyes, but he himself was not aware of it.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang Quan Wenzhong was shocked and pulled his sword to stop Ji Wenxuan.

"No, the imperial doctor has also been infected! Protect the adults!"

Hong Chengchou stood still and didn't move. At this moment, his forehead was sweating. The imperial doctor was infected. The imperial doctor couldn't even cure himself. This mask was not omnipotent. What should I do next? Hong Chengchou glanced through several questions in his mind, but he couldn't find an answer.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Ji Wenxuan seemed to be asking someone else, more like asking himself.

The doctor is kind and no one wants to save the people more than him, but he just backfired. Not only is the disease not cured, but all patients are also afraid of him.

When he walked to Quan Wenzhong, Ji Wenxuan suddenly held the back of the knife with both hands and rushed towards Pu Dao like crazy. Quan Wenzhong did not expect this. Ji Wenxuan collapsed weakly to the ground, and blood flowed in his abdomen and disappeared.

"This is a plague. It is useless to ask for medicine for typhoid fever. It's a pity!" At this time, a response suddenly came from outside the quarantine area.

"Who is talking nonsense outside? Bring it in!" Hong Chengchou asked while asking his subordinates to deal with Ji Wenxuan's body.

A moment later, two soldiers brought in a doctor with a medicine box. The man had a troubling of goatee beards of about fifty years old. Although his face was covered in dust, his eyes were bright and bright.

"Since it's a plague, do you have a cure?" Hong Chengchou asked inquiry when he saw that he was a doctor, but he was not in a hurry to treat the crime.

"If you have cold symptoms, fever, aversion to chills, and your pulse is floating and rapid, but this plague is hot but not cold, which is actually the first plague. I have visited other villages and towns for many years and analyzed that this plague should be caused by evil qi." This person did not answer whether it could be cured, but began to analyze the onset of the disease.

At this time, the other imperial physicians also came over. They looked at Ji Wenxuan and shed tears secretly. When they heard that someone dared to question Ji Wenxuan's treatment, they all felt uneasy.

"Treatise on Febrile Diseases" has gone through the years before. Just because you, a wandering doctor in the world, dare to be disrespectful to the medical saints. Such arrogance and disobedience is a taboo for our doctors. How can we confuse Taoism and use an evil spirit to explain it?" The imperial physician Lu Zongping asked contemptuously.

"It is precisely because medicine is a major matter that human life is concerned about, and I heard that you have used typhoid fever to treat this plague, and I feel that it is a waste of human life." This man did not care about Lu Zongping's contempt, but said:

"But I don't think so, you are not ignorant. At least you know how to use cloth to mask your face to block the evil energy from entering your body, and to boil clothes with boiling water. I wonder which colleague's trick?" The man looked around, as if he wanted to know the answer.

However, Hong Chengchou would definitely not satisfy him, because these were all told by His Majesty today. Seeing that this person was very vocal, Hong Chengchou asked again.

"I wonder if you have the honor of your surname?"

"I'm in Wu Youxing." The man bowed and polite to Hong Chengchou.
