After Chu Huan went out of Du Fugong's house, he went to see Su Niang again. Su Niang was still sleeping, Ru Lian was taking care of her in the house, and kept reciting scriptures together to pray for Su Niang. Chu Huan felt much more relaxed when she saw Su Niang's body no longer tremble and no longer sweating.

Although it was late at night, he naturally couldn't sleep. He didn't plan to stay in Beiyuan County, but Wu Feng's sudden appearance made him ready to stay in Beiyuan County for a few more days. First, Su Niang could rest for two days. The most important thing was that Chu Huan wanted to get a way to fight the plague.

Wu Feng appears in Beiyuan County. If there is a master behind him, then it will naturally be near Beiyuan County, and maybe even in Beiyuan County.

Du Fugong said that the master was probably a friend but not an enemy, and might find an opportunity to meet Chu Huan. Chu Huan actually thought so in his heart, but he was not sure when the other party would meet him.

The evil disease is like fire. As the governor of Xiguan, Chu Huan is responsible for the rise and fall of Xiguan. He even thinks that this plague is the first test for him when he first entered Guanxi.

He knew very well that he had come to Xiguan to serve as the governor of the country, and there were countless people who were eyeing him openly and secretly. It would be fine if he had not made any mistakes. Once some mistakes occur, as an outside official, he would have to face an extremely dangerous situation. Chu Huan even thought that if the plague really spreads, no one would use this to blame the spread of the plague on his new governor.

Chu Huan understands that technology is too backward in this era and the limitations of the times lead to people's superstition. The first thing that ordinary people think of is man-made disasters. They often think that the disasters brought by heaven are because an important person in the world violates the laws of heaven and angers the heaven, which causes disasters to be brought down.

Whether it is earthquakes, floods, storms, tsunamis, droughts, or plagues that are now occurring, the people will explain it from a superstitious perspective. In their opinion, this is a matter of course. Often, at this time, those witches who pretend to be gods will stand up and bewitch the people's hearts, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.

Chu Huan's time to come to the northwest is actually very bad.

Now the plague in Xiguan has not erupted on a large scale, but has only begun to spread. Most people in the northwest have no idea that they will face a catastrophe.

But the plague is the most terrifying disaster in the world. Once it is infected, the time required is extremely short. Perhaps it will take less than ten days and eight months to spread rapidly. In addition, Xiguan is now in the post-war reconstruction stage, and the people have not all returned to their hometowns. This has led to a large-scale population movement on Xiguan Road. Once the plague breaks out, the speed of its spread is unimaginable.

Chu Huan came to the northwest to take office at this time, and the plague broke out again. He had thought that once a person with ulterior motives put the blame for this plague on himself, facing the superstitious people of Xiguan, he really didn't know where to explain it. At that time, the people of Xiguan would definitely feel that Chu Huan was morally corrupt and insulted by the insult. He came to Xiguan to take office. God was dissatisfied, so he brought down this disaster to the people of Xiguan. This may sound ridiculous in later generations, but in this era, it is an extremely serious matter. Once this is true, Chu Huan, the new governor, will become the enemy of the entire northwest.

When Chu Huan thought of this, he felt a little cold. He wanted to gain a foothold in the northwest, and this plague he must have to face and resolve. As Du Fugong said, this plague is related to the success or failure of Chu Huan. Once the plague cannot be stopped, Chu Huan will become the target of public criticism and will naturally not be able to gain a foothold in Xiguan. However, once he can get a way to fight the plague, he can not only save the people, but also will inevitably gain the hearts of the people of Xiguan. At that time, the people of Xiguan would not think that the new governor was a demon that brought disaster. On the contrary, they would think that Chu Huan was the savior sent by God to save Xiguan.

The result is a world of difference between success and failure. Chu Huan has decided in his heart that no matter whether there is a master behind Wu Feng, he must actively find a way to fight the plague. If there is a master, if he doesn't come to see him, he will also find a way to find that person.

Disasters are like fire, and this is not the time to hide your head and your tail.

Chu Huan didn't sleep, and Bai Xiaozi didn't sleep. At dawn, Bai Xiaozi finally returned. Wu Feng left, Bai Xiaozi got Chu Huan's eyes and went out.

Chu Huan was naturally very interested in Wu Feng's whereabouts. He didn't sleep all night. One reason was that he was waiting for Bai Xiaozi to come back. Bai Xiaozi looked in good spirits. After sitting down, he said straight to the point: "Sir, it seems that Wu Feng is really a big problem. After he left the yamen, he went directly to a dark street..."

Chu Huan didn't understand and asked, "Lao Bai, what are you talking about in the dark street?"

Bai Xiazi showed an obscure smile and said softly: "Sir, the dark street is the place of the secret door, that secret door...hehe, it is the place for local prostitutes."

Chu Huan sweated on his forehead and understood, "Are you talking about secret prostitution?"

"That's right." Bai Xiaozi said: "Those regular brothels all have to pay taxes. The secret doors on the secret streets are only two or three secret prostitutes. Usually, an old woman takes two or three girls or women of good looks and does the sneaky business. Go there, not to listen to music, but to drink tea at the entrance. The price is cheap, but there are not many ways to serve...!"

Chu Huan smiled and couldn't help but say, "Brother Bai still knows this very well."

Bai Xiaozi smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, I used to be in Qingliu County, there were hidden streets. My brothers collected protection fees from the secret door...!" It seemed that this past event was not worth showing off, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Don't laugh, sir, get back to the story. Wu Feng went to the secret door. I see that he was familiar with the road along the way, and the secret door's mother he went to seemed very familiar with him... It should be an old acquaintance. It seems that he was indeed hiding in Beiyuan County before, and often appeared in the secret streets...!"

"It seems that he is really just a wise man, and his medical skills are not very good." Chu Huan nodded and said, "If he is able to cure his wife's disease, then the methods must be great. With such medical skills, even if he is not a wealthy family, he will definitely not lack silver. It is impossible to go to that cheap secret door."

Bai Xiaozi said, "You are right. Those who go to secret doors are all raspy who don't have much silver on them. If you really have silver in your hands, who would go to that kind of place?"

Chu Huan frowned and thoughtful, and then said softly after a while: "Can the master behind him be in the dark street?"

He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking for a blind man in vain.

Bai Xiaozi only asked him at that time and immediately said, "Sir, this shouldn't be true. If there is such a master, how could he hide in the dark street?" He lowered his voice, "In order to find out the situation, I entered the next door of the secret door..." Seeing Chu Huan looking at him with a strange look, Bai Xiaozi hurriedly explained, "Sir, I did nothing to ask for information. The woman persuaded me for a long time, but I was unmoved at all..."

Chu Huan nodded and smiled, "I understand, I understand, I won't blame you for anything you did."

Bai Xiaozi smiled awkwardly and then whispered: "From them, I heard that Wu Feng was a traveling doctor who was hiking around Beiyuan County. He had no ability and had always been very poor. He had got some money before and ran to the dark street. He was a perfect and inferior person. If he had a fever and cough, Wu Feng still had several prescriptions to diagnose and treat. Whenever he encountered a slightly more difficult disease, Wu Feng would be helpless. I heard that a secret prostitute had a pustules on his neck not long ago. Wu Feng happened to be there, and he could not treat him."

"Then you can find out, is there a doctor in the dark street?"

"Absolutely no." Bai Xiaozi said immediately: "Sir, I can guarantee it with a head, there are absolutely no other doctors in the dark street."

Chu Huan leaned on the chair, thinking, after a long time, he finally said: "Old Bai, you don't have to do anything else these two days. Please help me watch Wu Feng and see where he goes. If you bring two people by your side, if there is a situation, I will immediately send someone to tell me... If there is really a master behind him, then in the past few days, he will definitely go to see that master. Let's use a long line to catch big fish. No matter what, you must find that master."

If Chu Huan could not really determine whether there was another master behind Wu Feng, he finally confirmed that that master must exist, and he must find the master behind the scenes in the shortest time.

Early the next morning, Nian Xinlan came to pay homage to Chu Huan. Although he had just one day in office, Nian Xinlan had already assigned many things that Chu Huan had taught one by one. The officials of Beiyuan County, both big and small, actually didn't care about Nian Xinlan, but the Governor was in the county town. In addition, when Nian Xinlan was a merchant, he showed his attitude of rectifying the administration without hesitation. Therefore, the officials worked very hard. Just like Qingtang County before, he summoned well-known doctors inside and outside Beiyuan County to set up a quarantine hall. Chu Huan had arranged the same matters with everyone in Qingtang County before, so he went here to explain it in an orderly manner. Although Nian Xinlan was a scholar, he was obviously not a dead-end student and had a flexible mind. He understood the tasks assigned by Chu Huan and could carry out them well.

Nian Xinlan came to find Chu Huan, not for anything else, but for the county custody of Qingtang County.

The former magistrate Cao had a clever title to collect taxes in Qingtang. Although it was not long, he had forced a lot of taxes. Although he was preparing to fill his personal pockets, he could not directly take the taxes collected into his pockets. This is like there are many thieves and prostitutes in the world, but he still had to put on a layer of fake benevolence and righteousness on the surface. The magistrate Cao wanted to fill his personal pockets, but the taxes still had to go through the household houses of the county government and prepare to make some fake accounts by the household houses. At that time, he would take them away from the county treasury. If they really had to investigate in the future, if there was fake accounts in front of them, it would be difficult to investigate.
