Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Yu Jiusi was a little confused.

The man who was brought up just now was named Gong Zheng. There was no doubt that Gong Zheng was a subordinate of Lu Sichu.

However, the person who was supposed to stay by Lu Sichu's side was arrested in Changnan Prefecture a few days ago.

Gong Zheng would never tell why he came to Changnan Prefecture, but Xue Mai's arrested men were not so stubborn.

Those people only received a little punishment, and then explained the "deal" with Gong Zheng in detail - Gong Zheng wanted them to work together inside and outside to frame Yu Jiusi.

How to frame?

——The epidemic in Changnan Prefecture was caused by Yu Jiusi’s improper management and the feeding of spoiled food to the people.

The epidemic in Xingning Prefecture was caused by Yu Jiusi's improper use of personnel. He sent people infected with the epidemic to Xingning Prefecture. It was not enough for Yu Jiusi to harm his own prefecture, he also wanted to harm Xingning Prefecture which was hundreds of miles away.

In short, according to what Gong Zheng explained, all the disasters were caused by Yu Jiusi's mistakes.

If other people heard this, they would simply say that Yu Jiusi deserved to be cut into pieces!

The people are most easily incited, and the accusations of many people can melt gold and destroy people. As long as this crime is "confirmed" among the people, it will be difficult for Yu Jiu to "overturn the verdict" for himself.

I have to say that Lu Sichu's move was simple and unpretentious, but very useful.

But Lu Sichu never expected that Yu Jiusi had been waiting for them to do this.

Now that Gong Zheng was in his hands, he deliberately took this opportunity to drag him out to meet Lu Sichu. There were two meanings behind this.

One is to let Gong Zheng, a loyal man, see what the hell he is following.

The second is... to test Lu Sichu.

It is very intriguing that Lu Sichu pretended not to know Gong Zheng.

——Why didn’t Lu Sichu react at all when his confidant fell into the hands of his rival? Why wasn’t he panicked at all? Why didn’t he send anyone to rescue him these days?

Yu Jiu thought for a long time and determined that Lu Sichu must have a backup plan.

A backup plan that is enough to keep him calm and not panic.

"The epidemic in Xingning Prefecture..." Lu Sichu looked embarrassed and sighed, "I am not a doctor, so I only know a little about it. According to the doctors in the prefecture, the epidemic is fierce, but the people have different reactions. As for what kind of epidemic it is, there is no conclusion yet."

"Oh?" Yu Jiusi was unconvinced. "May I ask, Your Excellency the Governor, what did the doctor say?"

Lu Sichu recalled, "When I set out, the doctor said it would take another two days to confirm the date. I estimated that the date was yesterday."

In fact, there is no need to be sure.

When Lu Sichu was leaving Xingning Prefecture, he summoned a doctor to see him.

Of course, they were far away and sent someone to question him instead of him going to meet him in person.

The result is also very obvious - when the doctors talked about the epidemic, their faces turned pale and their legs trembled. Just saying the word "sky" made them feel terrified as if they had seen jackals, tigers and leopards.

—What else could it be but smallpox?

Fortunately, Lu Sichu has come out, and Yu Jiusi will be in prison soon.

Once you're in, you can't get out.

His words were true and false, Yu Jiusi did not believe a word of it. He just consulted himself and searched for information that was useful to him.

"If that's the case, then why did you come to Changnan Prefecture? In my opinion, the people of Xingning Prefecture need you as their backbone even more at this time."

When Lu Sichu heard this, his face darkened.

He was a governor of the fourth rank, so how could he be ridiculed by a child?

"I just said that I am not a doctor. Xingning Prefecture has an epidemic, and the prefect has dispatched people to take care of the people. Do I have to stay in Xingning Prefecture and wait for death instead of going out to find a way to treat the people?"

Yo--

Yu Jiusi raised his eyebrows.

What a righteous hat!

As expected of him, Lu Sichu, even the fear of death and running away can be described in such a fresh and refined way.

"Your Excellency loves the people like your own children. I admire you." Yu Jiusi followed his words and asked, "As your Excellency said, this time I left the government to find a way to save the people. What do you mean by that? Changnan government..."

Combining Lu Sichu's attitude towards Gong Zheng, Yu Jiusi understood Lu Sichu thoroughly.

——So he wanted him to die together with Li Shiyuan in Xingning Prefecture.

So what kind of epidemic broke out in Xingning Prefecture?

Lu Sichu must know.

"Langjiang is really smart." Lu Sichu praised him indifferently, and finally revealed the purpose of this trip: "Although the epidemic in Xingning Prefecture is unclear, as the doctor in the prefecture said, at its root, all epidemics have similarities. I heard that an epidemic broke out in Changnan Prefecture a month ago, and it was the doctor under Langjiang who treated it until the epidemic subsided?"

"Your Excellency is indeed well-informed. However, the outbreak of this disease in Changnan Prefecture is strange. I wonder if Your Excellency could investigate a little on my behalf?"

This sentence was Yu Jiusi's final test, and also a confession - I know everything you have done, let's see if you are panicking or not.

If Lu Sichu remained calm, Yu Jiusi would be able to be completely certain that the epidemic in Xingning Prefecture was severe enough and enough to be fatal.

Sure enough, Lu Sichu's reaction was exactly as he had guessed.

"If General Yu finds something strange, then of course I will investigate. But right now, the epidemic in Xingning Prefecture is the top priority, so I hope General Yu will not confuse the priorities."

He didn't want to be interrupted by Yu Jiusi again, and continued, "Since the doctor just now was able to cure the epidemic in Changnan Prefecture, he must be a contemporary medical saint who has the ability to bring people back to health. I'm sure he is also responsible for the epidemic in Xingning Prefecture this time."

"Your Excellency has come here for this reason." Yu Jiusi pretended to understand, "But your Excellency was wrong before. Doctor Li is not one of my subordinates. Whether he is willing to go to Xingning Prefecture or not, I cannot decide for him."

After saying this, he looked outside the hall, wondering whether Li Shiyuan had found any clues about the epidemic.

He hoped that Li Shiyuan could find out the epidemic in Xingning Prefecture, but he was afraid that the epidemic was too dangerous and they could not face it. Then... it would be another difficult problem.

Yu Jiusi's unconventional move made Lu Sichu frown and his tone became impolite.

"It is a doctor's duty to save the world. Since he is a doctor, he has to go."

Yu Jiusi didn't want to tolerate him after hearing this, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty is the only one in this world who can truly speak with sincerity. Why should he go just because Lord Lu said he would go?"

"You!" Lu Sichu raised his hand and pointed at someone, but there was a screen between them and his momentum was not as strong as before.

In the end, he was still irritated by Yu Jiusi.

If one road is blocked, there is another one.

Lu Sichu took two deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and started to attack Yu Jiusi: "General Yu is appointed by His Majesty to guard the grain. The surrounding prefectures are all in disaster. You shouldn't have stayed in Changnan Prefecture for too long. Now that the epidemic in Changnan Prefecture has subsided, General Yu should also go out for inspection, so as not to disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

Yu Jiusi used the emperor to pressure him, so he followed suit and also used the emperor to pressure Yu Jiusi.
