Shen Shi said in a deep voice: "The methods of dealing with epidemics in the Three Kingdoms are to poison the people who have been in contact with the patient first, and then burn the place where the patient lived."
"Along with the body."
"This is...the only way to prevent the spread of the disease."
The tail of Su Ruotang's beautiful eyebrows frowned tightly.
No wonder Qian Xian abandoned the city and ran away when he saw what had happened.
It turns out that a hole was dug for them here.
Mo Ronyan is the God of War of Dongqi, and he has a high reputation in the eyes of the people.
If he ordered the people to be burned to death, rumors that the third prince would loot and burn countless people to death would have spread throughout the capital before they could return to the capital.
Countless officials, with runny noses and tears, knelt in the political hall and cried to the third prince.
Trying to completely erase the credit of Mo Ronyan and others' trip to Xicheng this time.
Mo Ronyan stood in front, staring at the forest calmly.
Fu Beixian and Tan Zhixi looked anxious, but they could not beg for mercy for the people in the forest.
For the sake of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of people were sacrificed.
This is the perfect solution.
At this moment, Niuniu ran out crying, "Brother, please don't burn the uncles and mothers-in-law, they will be fine!"
Behind Niuniu, her mother came chasing after her, "Niuniu, don't talk nonsense!"
She grabbed Niu Niu in her arms, held her and knelt down, "Your Highness, Tong Yan Wuji, please give me medicine for women."
After she finished speaking, hundreds of people ran out behind her.
Everyone knelt down a hundred meters away from Mo Ronyan and others, their expressions calm and firm, with a hint of relief:
"Please give me medicine, Your Highness!"
The people who had been shouting and begging Mo Ronyan to set fire to the forest looked at this scene and couldn't say anything at all.
They knew many of the people in the forest.
They used to do business together, eat meat and drink together...
Fu Beixian punched the palm of his hand with a sad and angry expression, "Cousin, do you really want to burn them? Ren Le is also inside."
Mo Ronyan's expression was calm, and there was no emotion in his clear tone, "This is the best way to deal with it."
"But they are also Dongqi people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commoner behind Mo Ronyan got up, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, the common people know a little bit about medicine and are willing to deliver medicine to them personally."
"I'll go too." Another citizen also stood up.
Mo Ronyan glanced at them, and cold syllables escaped from his thin lips, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
The commoner who spoke earlier looked at the man kneeling in the forest and smiled, "Your Highness, everyone in the world is afraid of death."
"But if their relatives did not volunteer to help Qian Xian dig the river embankment, it would be us who would dig the river embankment."
"We've had so many extra years of life, that's enough."
After his words fell, the people couldn't help but whisper.
"Yes, back then Qian Da...Qian Xian called young men to dig river embankments in the city. They stood up and protected us."
"The Qin family has been the family of Xicheng for hundreds of years. When the head of the Qin family was alive, he would give porridge to the people every month."
"What a pity. Later he was deceived by the evil man Qian Xian. We thought Qian Xian really took good care of the Qin family's mother and daughter!"
"I didn't expect that this beast Qian Xian pretends to be kind on the surface, but secretly harms the people. He is worse than a beast!"
"That is, he gathered all the famous families in Xicheng, and in the name of donating money to benefit the people, he secretly imprisoned their families in this forest, and then killed these people in the name of building river embankments. .”
"But we just asked His Highness to burn them. What's the difference between us and Qian Xian?"
After the common man finished speaking, there was silence all around.
Everyone's faces were filled with shame.
Su Ruotang listened to the people's words, her clear eyes focused on the figure like a orchid jade tree in front of her.
After a moment of silence, she slowly walked towards Mo Ronyan.
Mo Rongyan is the God of War of Dongqi. He cannot be framed for nothing and is rumored to be a bloodthirsty and murderous person.
Their achievements in exposing Qian Xian and saving the people this time cannot be erased by malicious intent.
When Mo Rongyan saw Su Ruotang coming slowly, his expression changed slightly.
He frowned and said, "Go back."
Su Ruotang walked to his side and looked at him steadily, "Are you really going to burn down the forest?"
Mo Ronyan lowered his eyes and met her eyes.
After a moment, he slowly said, "This is the only way."
Su Ruotang couldn't help but ask: "Then do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Mo Ronyan's dark and deep pupils clearly reflected the girl's appearance.
In the cool breeze, she clearly heard his almost cold words.
Mo Ronyan opened his thin lips lightly, and the voice that came out was clear and cold:
"I have no desire to save the world, nor do I have any compassion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ruotang's heart felt as if a heavy hammer had hit him hard.
Mo Ronyan clearly didn't say the next words, but she read the second half of the words in his eyes——
You are the only one I want to save.
If they leave the woods, you might get sick too.
Su Ruotang's lips curved brightly, and she stretched out her hand to tug on Mo Rongyan's sleeve, "I have a way to save them."
Mo Rongyan said in a deep voice: "No!"
Su Ruotang sighed softly: "Your Highness, you should believe me."
As she said that, she looked at Niuniu kneeling at the front and curled her lips, "I will be fine."
Niu Niu looked at her, a smile spread across her face, and she waved her thin little hands, "Sister Fairy!"
Su Ruotang hummed in a higher tone and looked at Mo Ronyan firmly, "Your Highness, believe me."
Mo Ronyan looked at her for a moment and said slowly, "In ten days, if you can't cure the people within ten days, I will come in to find you."
When Su Ruotang heard this, he nodded with crooked eyebrows and said, "Okay, then let's do it for ten days."
"During this period, please also ask Your Highness to deliver the medicinal materials I need in a timely manner."
Mo Ronyan hummed softly and raised his hand to push the hair from her temples behind her ears.
His slightly cool fingertips stroked her white and tender cheeks, "Come back safely, I won't pursue the hosta matter."
Su Ruotang wrinkled her small nose and snorted, "Hold a grudge."
"During this period, if there are people with fever, they will be sent to this area for the time being."
Mo Ronyan's clear and clean knuckles curled up, flicked her smooth forehead, came close to her ear, and spoke in a soft and low voice:
"On the tenth day, madam, think about how to compensate your husband."
