Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

Since leaving Min County, Shen Ruyi has been burying everyone along the way with his men.

I originally thought that the disaster in Yunxia Town was serious enough.

As a result, every village and town we encountered later was more serious than Yunxia Town.

There was even a situation where nine out of ten houses were empty, and very few people survived.

They walked for a long time without seeing a single living person.

We will stop for a while when we encounter a big mountain along the way.

Go to the mountains to pick some medicinal herbs and hunt some game.

They also have to be self-sufficient and solve their own food and drink problems.

No matter how much silver you have, it's useless here because you can't buy much food.

The price of food has increased to more than eight times the daily price.

Shen Ruyi specially sent people to intimidate the grain shop owner, and only then did these people adjust the price back.

And require limited sales.

Don’t even think about having enough to eat, just make sure everyone doesn’t starve to death.

Shen Ruyi was also embarrassed to snatch food from the local people.

The relief food sent by Agate and others is still on the way.

Many roads were washed away and needed to be repaired immediately, so I walked very slowly on the way here.

The people sent by the government went to the areas most severely affected by the disaster and couldn't take care of this place.

Because they can only rely on themselves, use local materials, and eat whatever they come across.

And buried people along the way.

They wanted to save people, but the further they went, the fewer living people they met, which made them more and more silent and uncomfortable.

It was not until we arrived outside the city gate of Qinghui County that we saw any living people.

Unfortunately, they were all half-dead victims, and each of them was as skinny as a stick.

Coupled with the torture of the plague, these people looked like they had been smoking opium for years, neither human nor ghost.

When they saw Shen Ruyi and his group coming, they rushed over like hungry wolves and wanted to steal things.

"If you want to live, step back," facing Ying Wu and the others holding big knives, these people rushed forward like crazy as if they couldn't see anything.

In the end, there was no other way but to kill a few troublemakers on the spot before the completely chaotic scene was calmed down.

Although these people did not move forward, their green eyes stared straight at Shen Ruyi and his group.

It seemed like it would pounce again at any moment.

Once a person is hungry to a certain extent, he will no longer be a human being, but a complete animal.

Shen Ruyi said: "Go, go and knock on the city gate."

"Yes."

The people on the city gate had seen everything happening outside, but they refused to open the gate.

It was said that Shen Ruyi and his group must have been infected with the plague, and the city gate could not be opened.

In the end, they used the token to force the other party to open the city gate.

Of course, it still took a while.

As soon as they entered the city, County Magistrate Yan knelt down to greet them.

He kept explaining why he didn't open the city gates because he was afraid of infecting more people.

Shen Ruyi asked: "Are there many people infected in the city?"

"Not much, my lord."

"How much is not more?"

“That’s it… that’s it…”

Shen Ruyi didn't have the patience to listen to him, so she said directly:

"Didn't you receive the imperial edict from the capital?"

"No, I haven't received any news from outside for a long time."

"Let's open the warehouse and give out porridge to the victims outside first. My people will be responsible for making medicine. Save people first."

"Your Highness, this cannot happen. What if other people in the city are infected? We cannot afford to lose the greater good over the smaller one.

It’s not that I’m cruel, I just have no choice, otherwise more people would have died,” County Magistrate Yan said quickly.

I thought to myself, if you weren't a prince, I would definitely not let you enter the city gate.

As a prince, why don’t you stay in the capital instead of running here?

You said you were here to help with the disaster relief, but you brought nothing with you. Aren't you just here to cause trouble?

In any case, County Magistrate Yan was extremely unwelcome to Shen Ruyi and his group.

If he was a low-ranking official and could not afford to offend the other party, he would have simply refused to open the city gate.

What he hated most in his life were those nobles who did nothing but make trouble. They were too difficult to serve and loved to squeeze the people's money.

The people in his area have it hard enough.

You rich and idle people who have no shortage of food and drink actually have the nerve to come here.

Anyway, the resentment in my heart is so deep that it is almost expressed on my face.

Shen Ruyi said: "I have a prescription for curing the plague, and we have cured many people along the way."

"Are you serious, Your Majesty?" County Magistrate Yan's expression immediately changed and he asked happily.

I thought to myself that finally someone who was somewhat useful had arrived, instead of just a freeloader.

Shen Ruyi was speechless: "You are talking nonsense, hurry up and send someone to supervise the execution."

"Yes, Your Highness," this time County Magistrate Yan did not continue to refuse and disappeared in a flash.

I didn't even think about arranging food and accommodation for Shen Ruyi and her group.

Of course, Shen Ruyi didn't think about this, because she had never stayed in a government office along the way.

She had no shortage of money, so naturally she did whatever she wanted.

After Shen Ruyi finished arranging all these, he and Yiren went for a walk around the city.

Everything in the city is fine, as usual, except that there are not many people on the streets, which is rare.

It was much better than Shen Ruyi had expected.

Finally they went into a restaurant and had some food. They were both very greedy and hungry, so they had a good meal.

By the way, I booked a few tables for my people to come and eat during their shifts.

After eating, the two looked at each other and laughed.

I learned from the waiter that some of the disaster victims outside the city were actually from outside the city.

The other part was the families infected with the plague who were driven out of the city.

So that's why. No wonder County Magistrate Yan was so hesitant when she asked him.

So this is where the problem lies, but we can’t really blame County Magistrate Yan for making a mistake in his order.

She might have done the same if she didn't have any medicine.

At least the city was well controlled and governed, and the plague was prevented from spreading.

When I arrived at the city gate after dinner, I found out that there were many infected people in the city.

He was just worried that County Magistrate Yan would kick him out, so he kept it a secret.

I could only add more pots to continue boiling the medicine, and at the same time I bought out some of the medicinal materials from several pharmacies.

I sent another letter to the government that day, just to ask why so many counties had not received the prescription yet?

Did something go wrong along the way?

The official's letter came back quickly, saying that he had indeed issued an order to convey the matter to all places, and the prescription was also sent along.

He didn't hide the prescription at all and even announced it directly.

If it wasn't delivered, it only means that something went wrong during the delivery process and he is currently investigating.

Shen Ruyi and his group stayed in this county town for more than four days. Seeing that the disease was basically under control, they set off again.

Because she was worried that there might be many counties that did not receive the imperial edict and news.

In this way, Shen Ruyi and her group continued to move forward, having long forgotten her mission.

She came here to investigate corrupt officials, but at this moment she couldn't care about anything else.

When Shen Ruyi arrived at the gate of the next county, Qiubei County, she almost exploded with anger.

Because when they first arrived, the county magistrate was organizing people to burn the victims and patients to death.

The fire has already started.
