After returning to the Qilin Palace from the steel mill, before Ying Zheng's buttocks could get hot, urgent news came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, something happened in the city... in the city!"
A guard in armor was panting and his face was solemn.
"What's up?"
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair and asked with a majestic expression.
"An epidemic broke out in the city, and all five members of the family were infected!"
The guard raised his hand and reported.
"What? How could an epidemic suddenly appear in such a good place?"
After hearing what the guard said, Ying Zheng suddenly stood up, his eyebrows knitted together.
Epidemic! No joke, if it is not properly controlled, it is possible to infect the entire Xianyang City!
"Not long after this family moved to Xianyang, the epidemic seemed to appear overnight. They suddenly had a high fever that wouldn't go away, and they even had rashes on their bodies!"
The guards will report everything they know.
"So, the source of the plague has not been found?"
Ying Zheng did not believe that the plague would come out of thin air.
Under normal circumstances, it is usually caused by war and the bodies are not disposed of properly.
But it is impossible for a corpse to appear in the city, so this cannot be the reason!
Only by finding the source of the plague can we cut off its spread!
"Your Majesty, the source has not been found. At this time, the epidemic seems to have fallen from the sky!"
The guard lowered his head in shame.
"Can that family be dealt with?"
"We have been taken out of the city and found an uninhabited house and placed him there temporarily!"
"Okay! Summon all the officials to the Qilin Hall immediately to discuss matters!"
"yes!"
…
In just a few moments, all the civil and military officials and all the princes received the news and rushed to the Qilin Hall.
"What's going on? Why did His Majesty make the sudden call?"
"Who knew, I was already about to take a nap, and I was woken up again!"
"Is there something going on over there in Shangjun?"
"I think it's possible, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't have said it's urgent!"
"Oh! Don't even guess. Let's go quickly. We'll find out when we get there...!"
After entering the palace, the ministers had to walk to Qilin Hall. On the way, they gathered in groups and talked.
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly. His Majesty is probably already here by now!"
Thinking of this, everyone gradually quickened their pace.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the Qilin Hall, Ying Zheng was already sitting on the dragon throne, with a deep aura and a frown on his face. It was obvious that something bad had happened!
All the officials stood in their seats one after another, lowered their heads, and no one dared to say anything anymore!
Li Si, Li Xin and Feng Jie looked at each other and then lowered their heads along with the officials.
"Is everyone here?"
After scanning the crowd, Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, everyone is here!"
Everyone bowed their hands and bowed.
"I wonder if everyone has heard that there is an epidemic in the city today!"
When such a big thing happened, Ying Zheng didn't talk nonsense and said it directly.
"Wow..."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone looked up sharply, eyes wide open.
"What? Epidemic? In the city?"
"Why did the epidemic suddenly appear?"
"The epidemic is extremely contagious. We...we haven't already been infected, right?"
The ministers suddenly panicked.
In this era, the epidemic is almost the most dangerous terminal disease. It is highly contagious. Once infected, you will definitely die!
"My dear friends, please don't worry. This time the epidemic has only been discovered in a family of five, and they have been taken outside the city. Going out is strictly prohibited. It should not spread!"
Ying Zheng said seriously.
"call……"
After hearing these words, the ministers felt a little relieved.
As long as the epidemic is controlled and stops spreading, they will be safe for the time being!
"Your Majesty, I have just received the news and am about to report that a family in the south of the city has symptoms of high fever and a rash on their body, similar to the epidemic!"
At this moment, Li Si's slow voice sounded in the hall.
It was like a demon that penetrated deeply into people's hearts and tugged at the hearts of all the officials again.
"What? There is another family showing symptoms of the epidemic?"
Ying Zheng stood up from the dragon chair and his eyes fell on the guard who had just reported.
"Your Majesty, the news that I have received is indeed from this family...!"
The soldier was startled by the sharp look and quickly explained.
"Hurry up and send people out of the city to prevent other people from getting infected!"
"Let Xia Wuqi take the imperial doctor to have a look. The people are going from house to house spreading plant ashes and burning mugwort!"
Ying Zheng issued a series of orders.
"yes!"
The guard took the order and went to do it quickly.
"The source of the epidemic has not yet been found. Is there anything you can do?"
After temporarily arranging everything, Ying Zheng scanned everyone, hoping that someone could come up with a feasible solution.
"Your Majesty, after I learned that the farmer had a high fever, I sent someone to inquire. He said that the weather has been cold in the past few days and he has not gone out to interact with others!"
Li Si handed over his hand and reported.
"Another one has not been in contact with anyone, so why do they suddenly show the same symptoms when they are in the south of the city and the east of the city?"
Ying Zheng angrily slapped the dragon case.
If the source of the epidemic is not found quickly, many people will be infected, causing people to panic, rumors will spread, and it may even cause people to riot, with disastrous consequences!
"The weather was cold. Before the fever, this farmer only drank the Qingfeng wine from Zuixianren Winery to warm up!"
Li Si folded his hands and placed them in front of his lower abdomen, looking at the young lady with determination.
"What?"
Hearing the mention of the wine shop, Xiaoshota suddenly looked up.
What?
Can you contact yourself during an epidemic?
This old guy is obviously going to have trouble with himself, right?
"I wonder if the family whose Majesty received the news also behaved in the same way?"
Feng Jie asked.
Even if Ying Zheng didn't believe it, he had to send his guards to ask, "Go and check, have they drank Qingfeng wine before?"
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order, turned around and ran out of the court.
"No way? The epidemic spread from Zuixianren Winery?"
"Who knows, anything is possible!"
"Fortunately, I drank Wuliangye yesterday and was not drunk!"
"Don't be lucky. If Zuixianren Winery is really the source of the epidemic, Wuliangye may not be immune!"
"Oh my God, aren't we all in danger?"
…
Thinking of this, all the ministers cast evil looks at Xiao Zhengtai.
The other princes also quietly moved their bodies to the side, as if the young lady was a poisonous king!
Seeing this scene, the young lady almost cursed!
It was an important matter, so the guards rode fast horses and returned to the main hall in a short time. They handed over their hands and reported to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the family who got sick first said that the weather was cold, and they also drank Qingfeng wine to keep away the cold. !”
"What? Did you really drink?"
"One is in the east of the city and the other is in the south of the city. They don't know each other. The only thing they have in common is that they both drank Qingfeng wine."
"Does that mean that the Qingfeng wine from Zuixianren Winery is the source of the epidemic...?"
Since learning this clue, without Li Si and others adding fuel to the fire, some veterans have begun to fill their brains, which makes those who say it shudder.
