Chapter 249: Clerk arrives, it is difficult for the conflict to intensify
After Yang Fan's orders were issued, Taiyuan County was immediately busy. Yang Fan was also preparing to arrive at Zhan County to command in person, but was killed by Xi Zhong and others.
"Lord, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Besides, a plague broke out in Zhanxian County at this time. How could the lord take the risk personally?"
Xi Zhong pulled Yang Fan and persuaded him.
"Let me go, just keep a distance from 'them', there will be no problem."
Yang Fan frowned and said.
"The lord is the hope of everyone in my Yang family lineage. How can I go to that dangerous place? If there is a case, will hundreds of thousands of people from my Yang family become headless birds? Wouldn't the more than one million people in the entire Bingzhou be reborn in the dire days of the past? Please think twice!"
Xun Yu also pulled Yang Fan's sleeve on the other side and advised him.
"Lord, I think Zhicai, Wenruo is right, lord, you can't go."
At this time, Dian Wei also stood in front of Yang Fan and said honestly.
"You...ah!"
Yang Fan was deeply moved. At this time, he was anxious and helpless in his heart, so he had to sigh to express his current irritability.
"On behalf of your lord, you will go to Zhan County to comfort the local people. Don't worry, with me here, Zhan County will be in chaos."
Seeing that Yang Fan was persuaded to stop, Xun Yu hurriedly said.
"Okay, then Wenruo, let me go for you. I will let Ei transfer a team of Dragon Guards as your guard."
Yang Fan reached out and patted Xun Yu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
Just when Yang Fan was planning to ask Xun Yu to go to Zhan County to express condolences to the people, Wen Pin, who was far away in Zhan County, had just arrived at the epidemic area.
"General Wen, Lijia Village is ahead!"
Marin pointed to a village ahead and said.
"Let's go and have a look!"
At this time, two groups of people were cursing each other outside Lijia Village.
"Ma Xiao, don't be too tempted. There are no people infected with the disease in our Lijia Village. Why did you block the entrance of our village with people and not let us go out?"
"Li Shu, don't be ungrateful. The villages around your Lijia Village have all been infected and died of illness, but no one in your Lijia Village has been infected. Whoever believes it is you who secretly hid the infected person and did not let us find it."
Wen Pin had just brought people to arrive. After hearing the conversation between the two sides, he learned that the group at the entrance of the village was the villagers of Lijia Village, including the old and the young, which were easy to identify. The one who brought the people to block them was a tall man. This man was wearing the robe of a county yamen runner, obviously a family member of the county magistrate. The man named Li Shu had a arrogant face. You can tell that he was a brave and cruel person when he looked at his face.
"The government army is here!"
"The government army is here!"
When the villagers of Lijia Village saw the four or five hundred officials arrive, they were so scared that they screamed. As usual, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"My fellow villagers, what are you afraid of? This is the Yang family army. Yang Bingzhou is the savior of our people. These official troops are the Yang family army, and I recognize their clothes."
Li Shu had seen the world, so he was only panicked for a moment and calmed down, then whispered to the villagers behind him.
"General, you finally came. There were plagues everywhere here. At first, we followed the words of the county magistrate and stayed honestly in the village, but this place was not a place for people. In just one day, the villagers around were dead. We were afraid that we were not infected. We just wanted to leave this ghost place. Is this wrong? But this group of slaughtered officials refused to let us leave the village. You have to make the decision for us!"
A white-haired old man, under the support of Li Shu, walked up to Wenpin tremblingly and knelt down and bowed. His words were so miserable that it was unbearable to look at him.
"I'm asking my father-in-law to ask me, what's the name of my father-in-law? But this is the old man in Lijia Village?"
Wen Pin immediately turned over and dismounted, but did not get close to the old man and asked.
"The little old man is called Li Xin, and he is the old man in Lijia Village. This is the grandson of the little old man, Li Shu."
Li Xin then stood up and nodded in response, then pointed to Li Shu beside him and introduced.
"Brother Li also asked him to go back to the village and wait quietly. The miracle doctor sent by my lord is on the way to come and will arrive in the next two days."
Wen Pin advised him kindly.
"General, this place has been cursed by God, and there are plagues everywhere. We dare not stay in the village. Don't worry, we are not infected, we just want to leave here."
Listening to Wenpin asking them to return to the village, Li Xin quit and cried.
"Yes, General, we are not infected!"
"Sir, you can do it!"
"Let us leave!"
The villagers behind Li Xin cried out and said, "What happened in the past two days is really terrible, and these simple people can't stand it anymore. Otherwise, who would have been willing to leave the old place?"
"This is not possible. The order I received was that every village must stay in the village. If someone in a village gets sick, leave the village and tell me that I will send someone to the village to carry him out."
Wen Pin frowned slightly. Although he couldn't bear it, as a soldier, executing orders is the first priority. What's more, letting the people stay in their respective villages is the safest way. Since the plague has broken out, Wen Pin naturally needs to minimize its scope.
"General, don't you give us a way out?"
Li Xin looked disbelief. He had seen the Yang family army, who was a real soldier of the people and was so good to the people, but Wenpin's attitude at this time made Li Xin extremely collapse.
"This is an epidemic area. No one is allowed to leave the village without authorization. Those who violate the order shall be executed!"
Wen Pin's face turned right and thought to himself that if he continued to say something, he would probably be soft-hearted. By then, he would have made a big mistake. He shouted loudly with a cold face.
"These soldiers don't give us a way out. The villagers, we will fight with them!"
Li Shu immediately pulled out a pig-killing knife from behind his waist and shouted at the villagers behind him.
"General, those villagers seem to be sick!"
At this time, a soldier behind Wenpin hurried forward, came to Wenpin and pointed his hand at the villagers, saying suspiciously.
"Do you have a fever and vomiting?"
Wen Pin looked in the direction of the soldiers' fingers and found that as the soldiers said, four or five villagers in Lijia Village blushed, not as excited as if they were sick, shaking, obviously very weak.
"Ah? I...I'm not infected, I'm in good health...I'm very good."
"I'm not infected, I'm not infected!"
"I blushed just because it was too hot this day and it was sunny."
The villagers who were asked by Wenpin quickly shook their heads and denied.
But seeing his panic and his eyes dodged, Wen Pin knew that these people had something to hide.
"Go and a few people to give them out, remember, don't touch their bodies. If someone resists, kill them on the spot!"
