After waiting for two days, Li Gu's so-called arrangements were nowhere to be seen.
Every time he wanted to leave the city, Li Gu refused for various reasons.
Wei Linzhen never came back since he left the city to visit the victims two days ago.
If it weren't for the letters from Wei Linzhen's hand that came to the post house every day, Yilin and Wei Jin would really be restless.
After reading the letter just delivered, he handed it to Wei Jin, "It seems that Li Gu did not lie to us.
Your father also said that there are many victims outside the city and the disaster is dangerous.
It is not appropriate for us to leave the city at the moment.
It is more convenient to walk around in the city for the time being." good."
"But my father also said that the number of victims must be more than 50,000.
How can he explain this?"
Yi Lin nodded in agreement, "Since he is an official and a governor, he shouldn't be such an inexperienced person who makes judgments.
What reason would he have to deliberately underreport the number of victims, so that the people within his jurisdiction cannot be rescued?"
Wei Jin analyzed it skillfully, "Normally speaking, local officials will only slightly exaggerate when reporting disasters, so that the court will provide more relief materials.
The excess grain and silver will either be distributed to the people or stored for emergencies."
There are reasons for this, or it may be due to officials' personal misappropriation.
But if you deliberately conceal the disaster while knowing that it is happening on a large scale, it will not be of any benefit to the government or the people.
I really can't think of a reason."
Yi Lin sighed and said, "It won't be too late to question him later.
Wei Shangshu said that we can leave the city in three days.
We will see what happens then.
Now a large amount of food is being shipped outside the city, and there is almost not enough in the city.
I still have I need to write to my father to explain the situation and ask for more rice."
Three days is neither long nor short for the two people who want to go out of town.
All kinds of relief in the city are being carried out in an intensive and orderly manner.
Rice, food, medical clinics, and clothing are all available.
The two of them personally distributed food and silver to the people in front of the long queue.
Seeing the anticipation, excitement and gratitude in the eyes of the people, both Yi Lin and Wei Jin were very motivated.
The people cheered and were grateful.
They comforted the people by saying that the people were affected by the disaster and were in dire straits.
They had no food to eat and no warmth.
No matter how stable the country was, the royal family would definitely put the people first and do its best to rescue every victim.
It also encouraged the people.
We work together to overcome difficulties.
The people shouted long live the emperor and a thousand lives the princess.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties shouted that the princess was benevolent and considerate of the people, which was a blessing for the country.
The people also shouted.
Accompanied by the shouts of the people, Yilin and Wei Jin looked at each other and smiled.
When they returned to the posthouse in the evening, both of them were in a good mood.
First, the people in the city had been appeased and they had gained a lot of reputation.
Second, they could leave the city tomorrow.
The situation outside the city was still unknown.
But neither of them thought it was too bad.
Wei Linzhen lived and ate outside the city for three consecutive days, so it should naturally be effective.
Just as the two of them were looking forward to the happy scene when more victims would receive food and silver tomorrow, Li Gu reported to Yilin in panic that there was a plague outside the city.
He asked in panic: "Where is Wei Shangshu?"

Wei and Jin were even more anxious and asked, "Is my father feeling ill?"
Li Gu replied regretfully: "Wei Shangshu has been among the victims for several days, eating and living with the victims.
He has been infected with the plague, which may endanger the health of the princess, and is now quarantined."
Yi Lin couldn't believe it: "Shang Shu Wei is also infected."
Li Gu said regretfully: "Yes."
Yi Lin decisively ordered: "You quickly order an area to be designated as an epidemic area to isolate the infected people to prevent the spread of the epidemic."
"I have sent people to do it.
Princess, please rest assured.
It is common for plague to occur after a disaster.
I have taken this into consideration by preventing the princess from going out these two days.
In case the epidemic has spread quietly before it is discovered, If it is transmitted to the princess, I will definitely be responsible for my death."
Yi Lin stopped insisting and said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble."
"It is my duty to protect the princess.
The princess came to provide relief in person and brought relief money and rice grains.
This is already a blessing to the people of Chuanyang.
If the princess makes a mistake, it will not be my fault.
Princess, please use your own For the sake of importance, try to avoid going out as much as possible.
The minister will take care of the outside affairs and report to the princess every day, so the princess can rest assured. " Immediately he ordered, "Take the two imperial doctors accompanying you to the epidemic area to diagnose and treat patients.
They are highly skilled and experienced.
I hope they can come up with a good plan."
Li Gu thanked him repeatedly and left.
Wei Jinxun had already collapsed on the stool and was speechless.
As soon as he walked over to comfort him, "Don't worry, the imperial doctor will find a way.
Wei Shangshu has been isolated, so we should not mess up the situation."
Wei Jinxun raised his head and asked Yilin for an answer, "My father will be fine, right?"
I don't know how to answer, I hope so.
She finally understood why Wei Linzhen said that her son lacked exercise.
Wei Jinzhen really relied on his father.
Maybe he had always been with his father and was used to his father's guidance, so he never had the chance to be on his own.
If the backbone of Wei Shangshu is stepped down, will Wei Jinxue collapse with it, or will he stand up on his own.
Speaking of which, in the capital, reports were received that the disaster had eased and the people had been appeased.
The ministers called the emperor a sage, saying that the princess was young and promising, capable of disaster relief, and worthy of the important task.
Before receiving the report of the plague, everyone was immersed in it.
In short-term happiness.
Late at night, Li Gu reported back to the man in black in fear, "General, I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore."
The man in black lifted his hat, revealing a cold face.
It was Yingfeng.
He said calmly, "I can't hide it anymore, so I won't hide it."
Seeing that Yingfeng was not panicking at all, Li Gu knew that Yingfeng had an idea.
He approached and asked, "What are the general's plans?"
"Originally I just wanted to hide some refugees, catch her off guard, and label her as incompetent in disaster relief.
I didn't expect her to be so dedicated, so let her go.
Hasn't the plague already happened?"
"What the general means" Yingfeng looked regretful and said, "The plague is ruthless.
If she accidentally caught it, General Ben would not bother to take action."

Yingfeng raised the corner of his mouth and showed an evil smile.
Li Gu was startled, "But if something happens to the princess here, how can I explain to the emperor?"
"Princess cares about the people.
She does everything herself.
How can you control it?"
Yingfeng patted Li Gu on the shoulder.
"If something happens, just run away.
The few cars of money I gave you are not enough for you to stay anonymous." for the rest of my life” "Yes, I will obey the general's orders."
Early the next morning, Yilin asked about the victims and the plague, and Li Gu told the truth.
When Yilin asked again to visit outside the city, Li Gu did not stop him.
At the request of the imperial doctor, Yilin drank a large bowl of thick soup and was allowed to leave the city after being wrapped up in three layers.
Yilin and Li Gu inspected outside the city for half a day, asking about every detail.
When they saw an orphan who had no one to take care of them, they even fed the child food and medicine with their own hands.
The refugees were all moved, and Yilin's image of being considerate, kind and caring for the people was deeply impressed.
People's hearts.
A few days later, the imperial doctor reported back that he had a prescription to treat the plague.
At this time, the second batch of food sent by the emperor had arrived, and the victims cheered, hugged each other and cried.
January has passed in the blink of an eye, the floods have receded, and the victims have received food and money and returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes.
The desolate scene is no longer there, and Chuanyang City has gradually returned to its former prosperity.
Several disaster relief envoys finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three agreed on a date to return to Beijing.
Wei Linzhen proposed that he return to Beijing along the river to inspect water conservancy and plan the river course.
Yilin and Wei Jin were well versed in taking the official road, but because they didn't understand water conservancy, it was useless to follow them.
Moreover, both of them were weak and could not bear the hardship of traveling through mountains and rivers.
On the eve of his departure, Li Gu held a banquet to see off the three imperial envoys.
The three were in a good mood and naturally agreed.
The dishes have been served.
Li Gu raised his glass, went to Yi Lin and knelt down to apologize, crying that he was incompetent, failed to fulfill his duties as a parent, wrongly reported the disaster, etc.
In short, he took all the mistakes on himself, and said it heartbreakingly.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I tried to persuade him, saying that he had not made any big mistake, and praised him for his conscientiousness later.
After drinking his wine, Li Gu finally got up.
But after Li Gu stood up, he smiled a little sinisterly, making people shudder.
The three of them gradually felt that something was wrong and took a few steps back.
Suddenly they felt a burning pain in their stomachs.
They held their stomachs and fell down on the stool.
They asked Li Gu painfully, "You poisoned me?"
"Hahahaha" a burst of laughter came from the inner room, Yingfeng pushed the door open and said, "Your Highness Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time.
How are you?"
"It's you" was in excruciating pain.
The severe pain in her body caused her to break into a cold sweat, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Wei Shangshu came up and asked Yingfeng, "You are so brave, you actually dare to poison the current prince."
Yingfeng sneered, "The princess was considerate of the people and went to the refugees.
She accidentally caught the plague and died without treatment.
I am also very sorry."
Wei Shangshu saw Yingfeng being aggressive and shouted, "Here comes someone!"

After shouting several times but no one came forward, Yingfeng laughed again, "Wei Shangshu and Wei Gongzi have been working hard for many days, so why not go and rest first?
The general and the princess have something to talk about."
Wei Shangshu tried to argue, but Yingfeng turned his head coldly and said, "Ding'an, these two are too noisy, take them down and give them a taste."
Lu Ding'an summoned the two men to come out and took the Wei family father and son down.
Li Gu also took the opportunity to escape.
At this time, a woman in white floated down from outside the door and landed gently in front of the door.
Yingfeng instinctively took a few steps back.
This poisonous woman was not someone to be trifled with.
The person who came was none other than Yu An, who was the best at poisoning.
Yingfeng had been defeated by her many times due to poison.
Yu An walked into the room unhurriedly, stuffed a pill into Yilin's mouth, then sat down calmly where Yilin was sitting, picked up the wine flask that Li Gu poured wine into, and poured it into Yilin's drinking cup.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
He turned to look at Yingfeng and said, "Why don't you take a few sips of the wine you prepared so painstakingly?"
Yingfeng was obviously shocked by Yu An's actions.
He was too afraid to come near.
He said harshly on the spot, "If you leave now, I will spare your life.
Do you know?"
"I know," Yu An walked towards Yingfeng, who took a few steps back, always keeping a distance from Yu An, "I know that all the imperial guards have been replaced by you, and I know that they are all your people now, inside and outside, but I If you can get in, you can get out.”
Yingfeng didn't want to talk to her anymore and ducked into the inner room. sjgsf0916:
