Duke, do you want to take a break first? The prefect Qian in Yudong City said to Xue Wenyu carefully, sweating all over.

Xue Wenyu, who had arrived here without stopping, stood on the beacon tower of Yangjiao Town, frowned and looked at the Yudong City Gate in the distance.

The city gate was closed, and officers and soldiers were holding hands on several roads outside.

You did a good job. Xue Wenyu didn't expect that this prefect Qian could think of this step and blocked Yudong City and the outside world.

Prison Qian was very nervous at first, but now he heard that the Duke of the State recognized his way of dealing with him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not the best way for the officials to deal with it. Before the summer, the emperor issued an order to issue epidemic prevention manuals to various places. Therefore, although it is not yet certain what the cause is or whether it is an epidemic, it is also a precautionary measure.

It's still a little late. If I did this at the beginning, it might not have spread outside.

There was not enough manpower, so the subordinates could only ask the troops stationed in Yudong to assist, but it was only enough to surround him.

Some people have begun to die in several villages between Yudong and the nearest Qinghe Prefecture.

The officials still dare not ask for troops from the emperor. Otherwise, they could have a larger circle and more secure.

When he said this, he looked at Xue Wenyu in embarrassment.

As the prefect of a state, he naturally knew that even if the prince came, he would not have the right to dispatch troops.

Although the Duke of the State came here to investigate the incident under the emperor's order, he was not here to suppress the rebellion. Therefore, when he came, the emperor naturally would not have thought of giving him military power.

I ordered people to borrow troops. Although Xue Wenyu had just arrived, the prefect had already accompanied him to the charity village to see the bodies in person while telling him about the situation in the past two days.

So, now Xue Wenyu also thought that he had to mobilize troops here.

The Duke of the State is not allowed. When Magistrate Qian heard this, he was not happy, but instead waved his hands in fright.

Well? What's wrong? Xue Wenyu was also puzzled.

Didn’t you say you were short of manpower? But why did you even object to borrowing troops?

Don’t be upset, let’s listen to the officials. There are indeed people at the moment, but if this time it is not you, but other ministers, they say they can borrow troops, but you can’t.

Duke, your identity and status are very special now. Cough, if you are a minister, you should understand it? Prefect Qian said helplessly.

Before this, the Duke of the Kingdom was also muttering in his heart, was the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of As rumored, he had other intentions to assist His Majesty.

However, this man had just arrived and wanted to see the dead in person.

You should know that the more you have a status and the higher your official position, the less you will not behave like this.

I'm here, I must have sent my men to check it out.

Yes, the bloody and cruel scenes of the Duke of the State can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I have seen them for a long time, and I will not be afraid of seeing people.

However, the cause of death of the deceased this time is not right.

The people who have come into contact with the deceased have the highest mortality rate, and the old man guarding the charity village has already died after the incident.

But the prince went to check it out in person. If he was really rumored, he should have been more cautious about his life, right?

Prefect Qian did not think that the Duke made this move to make a good reputation.

Therefore, Prefect Qian felt that the rumors about the bad lords were all speculations by some people.

Therefore, for the sake of this prince, the prefect Qian must not borrow troops.

If you don’t have military power in your hands, you will be gossiped about it. If you really borrowed military power and you really borrowed it, wouldn’t that leave a message to some people?

After hearing the suggestion from Prefect Qian, Xue Wenyu smiled. So that's how it is.

The matter is imminent, so I don’t care about so much. After Xue Wenyu finished speaking, he ordered the preparation of his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote several letters and handed them to several subordinates, and went to nearby prefectures and counties to borrow soldiers.

In fact, it would be enough if you are willing to borrow a place.

But just now, Master Qian's words reminded Xue Wenyu that the rumors seemed to have been spreading far away.

The kind and kind reminder from Prefect Qian does not mean that everyone else trusts him.

Therefore, I had to go out for a few more people, and I would always be able to weigh the seriousness of the matter and be willing to borrow troops.

Ask it, the sun has set.

Xue Wenyu's people had quickly set up the tent, and Prefect Qian also arranged for someone to prepare supper for them.

The meal is very simple, but the food utensils are very complicated.

All the dishes and chopsticks are scalded with boiling water. Use them before. After eating, wash them, clean them again.

Xue Wenyu looked at it and couldn't help but think about his wife he hadn't seen in a few days.

He stood in the darkness, facing the direction of the capital, and said to her in his heart, "Wife, do you know?" The disease prevention manual you sent by Brother Hui really came in handy.

This prefect Qian is quite reliable and takes the manual seriously.

Xue Wenyu remembered his promise to his wife, and would take her with her no matter what she went out to do in the future.

But this time, he made a mistake.

It takes eight days to get here in the capital city.

Because of the emergency, the group stopped to eat during the day, fed the horse, and immediately rushed to continue on the road. At night, they only had two hours of rest and set off overnight.

In this way, it will be the fourth day here.

In these four days, the number of deaths reported was more than 600.

Just having supper at the stall, I'm afraid someone will die somewhere.

Duke, since you have personally checked the dead, otherwise you should deal with some of them as stated in the prevention manual? The voice of the prefectural prefect suddenly rang behind Xue Wenyu.

Because Xue Wenyu was distracted, he didn't notice it.

Now the temperature in midsummer is too high, and many corpses have begun to rot and smelly.

It’s not that the prefect Qian had already dealt with the earliest dead people according to the manual a few days ago. At this moment, you could probably smell the stench of the corpse when standing here.

The epidemic prevention manual shows that there are two ways to deal with corpses caused by plague. One is to bury deeply, with one layer of lime and one layer of corpses, and the other is to deal with it by burning fire.

When the prefect Qian started to deal with it, he wanted to choose to use lime. As the saying goes, the deceased is the most important. Although there are dozens of corpses in a pit and there is not even a coffin, just a roll of bed sheets and mats, it can at least leave a whole body for the deceased.

However, because I read the epidemic prevention manual carefully, it highlights the two ways to deal with corpses, the latter is the safest and will never have any future troubles.

Therefore, the prefect Qian used cremation under the pressure of being cursed by the people.

Lord Qian, you did a good job of dealing with this matter, so you don’t need to discuss this matter with me, just make the decision. Xue Wenyu did not object.

If you want to understand the cause of death of these deceased people, it is necessary to check the bodywork, but in this situation, the most important thing is the bodywork, which may be available at any time.

The subordinate received the order. The prefect Qian responded respectfully and left to make arrangements.

It was already late at night, and Xue Wenyu was lying in the tent but was not sleepy at all.

Close your eyes and it is the death of those who are dead.
Chapter completed!
