Yang Qing tilted his head and recalled for a long time, then said uncertainly: "It seems...it seems like there is a plague somewhere!"

Yu Qinghong knew the problem was serious as soon as he heard it. Yang Qing had never experienced the plague and didn't know this, but he had traveled all over the country and knew that the plague was highly contagious and could spread to an entire county or state in a short period of time. Human lives were like dust in the face of the plague and would be scattered without even the wind!

Yu Qinghong no longer had the heart to eat. Although Tang Yiran had medical skills, she was not a god. In the face of the plague, her power was still weak! He ate a few mouthfuls and immediately got up to go home. He needed to go home to ask his father, County Magistrate Yu, about the specific situation. As the parent official of Nanshan County, he must have received the news.

"Yang Qing! Please go and notify Carpenter Tan! I have to go out for something important!" Yu Qinghong said as he hurriedly walked out of the door of Concord Hall, leaving only his back to the stunned Yang Qing.

As soon as Yu Qinghong entered the house, he sensed an unusual tense atmosphere. He hurried to the front hall and found his mother Fu Yue'e arguing with his father Yu Zhendong.

Fu Yue'e's eyes were red, and her voice was slightly tearful. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry: "Yu Zhendong! You can't go to the plague site! I heard that it's very dangerous there. If you're not careful, you might get infected. That... that's fatal! Although you are the head of a county, you are also my husband! Qingsu Qinghong's father! Even if you don't want to die, you have to consider the three of us, mother and son!"

Yu Zhendong's face was firm and resolute: "I am the county magistrate, I receive a salary from the court, and it is my duty to protect the people. The plague has just started, if we control it now, then the plague will not be able to spread unbridled! How can I sit back and do nothing when I can save the people? I must go there in person, understand the situation, and organize rescue."

Seeing this, Yu Qinghong quickly walked between his parents and persuaded Fu Yue'e, "Mother, father is a local official, and he should really put the overall situation first! Therefore, it is not excessive for father to go to the plague site!"

Seeing Yu Qinghong reasoning for him, Yu Zhendong immediately straightened his back and pointed at Yu Qinghong and said, "Listen! Listen! Your son is more conscious than you! You! You are just a woman's opinion!"

Just when Yu Zhendong was feeling proud, Yu Qinghong turned to Yu Zhendong and said, "Father! What mother said makes sense. You are the backbone of Nanshan County. Your safety is related to the stability of the entire county. If you are not here, those mountain bandits who are eyeing Nanshan County will probably take the opportunity to cause chaos!"

Fu Yue'e nodded with satisfaction and looked at Yu Zhendong provocatively.

Yu Qinghong took the opportunity to ask: "Father, you haven't told me where this plague broke out."

Yu Zhendong glanced at Yu Qinghong and said, "Why are you asking this? It just so happens that the plague originated from Chenjia Village, the village of Yilan's ex-husband! Currently, the entire Meigou Town has been affected!"

When Yu Qinghong heard this, something suddenly flashed through his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it at all. He shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it. He looked at Yu Zhendong, cleared his throat and said, "So! Father! Why don't you let me go in your place? I'm young and tough!"

Yu Zhendong and Fu Yue'e were both shocked and looked at each other. How dare this guy come up with such an idea! The two of them finally stood on the same front! They glared at Yu Qinghong!

Fu Yue'e's voice rose eight degrees, "Want to go? Dream on! Your brother used to go to the battlefield every day and made me nervous. He finally came back and got engaged. We both thought we could finally live a stable life, but he ended up breaking off the engagement and going to the Northern Frontier. Now he hasn't even reported that he's safe! You want to take risks again? What do you want us to do? No!"

Yu Zhendong also echoed: "Absolutely not allowed!"

Yu Qinghong looked at the two people's attitudes and knew that they would never agree to his going, so he said, "But...but Yilan has gone! I am a real man, how can I be less ideologically conscious than a little girl?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Yu Zhendong's eyes: "Oh? I didn't know! It's really beyond my expectation that Yilan, a little girl, can take on such a responsibility!"

Yu Zhendong admired Tang Yilan very much at this moment, but he changed the subject and said: "However, this plague appeared suddenly, and there is something fishy. I still can't let you take risks. I have decided that I will take the medical officers and the doctors from Nanshan County who volunteered to go to the epidemic area to the plague site. I believe that this plague will be effectively controlled soon!"

"Butler! Send someone to take the Second Young Master back to his own courtyard and guard him from behind! No one is allowed to let him out without my order!"

Yu Qinghong knew that he could not go to the plague site openly after hearing this, so he bowed his head temporarily. He then bowed to Yu Zhendong and said, "Father! I will not go! I beg you to take back your decision!"

Yu Zhendong glanced at Yu Qinghong with a sincere look in his eyes and thought to himself, "Acting! This is unbelievable!"

So Yu Zhendong ignored Yu Qinghong's request and said, "Butler! Don't be lenient! Lock him up!"

Yu Qinghong simply gave up resisting and let the housekeeper take him away.

After Yu Qinghong left, Yu Zhendong said to Fu Yue'e in a serious tone, "Yue'e! As a parent official, I have no choice but to take charge of this matter! You don't need to persuade me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yue'e burst into tears uncontrollably: "But... Master! I'm worried about your safety..."

Yu Zhendong gently held Fu Yue'e's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry! I will be careful and will never act rashly. I haven't drunk the wedding wine of my sons yet. God will definitely give me this opportunity! This is my responsibility as a county magistrate, and I must face it."

Fu Yue'e looked at Yu Zhendong's resolute expression, feeling both frightened and full of admiration and pride. She threw herself into Yu Zhendong's arms and burst into tears. It took Yu Zhendong a long time to comfort her before Fu Yue'e stopped crying.

"Wait for me to come back!" Yu Zhendong left the Yu Mansion in a carriage at night. Fu Yue'e waved a handkerchief and watched Yu Zhendong leave. After Yu Zhendong walked away, Fu Yue'e burst into tears again.

Returning to his own yard, Yu Qinghong was naturally unwilling to be restricted in his freedom. He had already made a plan in his mind. As soon as he entered the door, Yu Qinghong asked Xiangyang to change clothes with him, and he took out disguise tools to change the appearance of the two.

Yu Qinghong, who had disguised himself as Xiangyang, said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, the young master asked me to go out and do something."

The housekeeper glanced at Xiangyang and said, "Go! Come back soon!"

Yu Qinghong was very glad that he had a trump card. His father didn't know that he could disguise himself. He drove the carriage out of the Yu Mansion smoothly. Yu Qinghong whipped the horse and rushed towards Meigou Town.

Tang Yiran arrived at Meigou Town early. Before entering the town, she took out some spare items such as masks, disinfectant, protective clothing, etc. from the space. When entering the town, she disinfected herself, put on a mask, and wore protective clothing.

The entire Meigou Town has been isolated, and Chenjia Village is the most important one. The officers and soldiers on the outer layer are holding spears. If the people inside dare to rush out, they will be greeted with death!

Chenjia Village had already been in chaos, and no one knew where the plague came from. Suddenly, a group of people in the village began to suffer from diarrhea and vomiting. At that time, people just thought it was ordinary diarrhea, so they took Chinese medicine.

Only the village witch Yang Miaoxiang thought it was abnormal, so she conducted a divination, and the result showed: This is a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster! If it is not controlled in time, the people of Chenjia Village will die one after another!

She told the villagers the results of the divination, but they scoffed at it. Yang Miaoxiang had no choice but to take her family out of the village.

The remaining villagers did not expect that the medicine they brought was completely ineffective, so the first death occurred. People hurriedly buried him, but the second, third, and fourth people died of diarrhea. Everyone realized that something was wrong, and the breath of death spread in the village. No one knew who would be the next.
