The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 487 Turmoil

After asking all the soldiers to put away their weapons and send the people home, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went to the quarantine area of ​​Hongye County. As they walked along the way, they found that the streets were almost empty except for the people at the city gate. The streets were covered with dust, all the shops were closed, and the vendors' carts were covered with dust, creating a desolate scene.

The quarantine area was set up in the county magistrate's mansion in Hongye County. The county magistrate had fled, and his huge mansion could just accommodate those sick people and was also convenient for guarding. When Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went there, the imperial physician and several doctors from Hongye County were waiting for them at the door.

As soon as he saw the carriage coming, the imperial physician took the lead and knelt down, saying loudly: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

Xiao Mubei got out of the car first, helped the old imperial physician up, and said, "Imperial Physician Lin, you have worked hard."

Imperial Physician Lin bowed his head and said, "I am ashamed that I have no way to stop the epidemic, and I have troubled the prince and princess to travel by boat. I really fail to live up to the emperor's grace."

Chu Yunxi also got off the carriage and said, "Imperial Physician Lin has done a great job. I will continue to trouble Imperial Physician Lin to lead the doctors to treat the people according to my method."

Imperial Physician Lin hurriedly said, "Of course I will follow the princess's instructions."

Xiao Mubei pulled Imperial Physician Lin aside and whispered, "My princess is a stubborn person who never cares about herself. She was also infected with the disease a few days ago and just recovered. She is also pregnant. Originally, I didn't want her to come, but she was worried about the people of Hongye County and insisted on coming with me. I couldn't persuade her, so I could only ask her to just give orders and arrangements and not to treat the people herself, as it would be too tiring. So next, I will have to trouble Imperial Physician Lin to take the doctors to treat the people. When I'm not around, please help me take care of her and don't let her interfere in the treatment."

Imperial Physician Lin nodded in understanding and said hurriedly, "I understand. I will definitely follow your instructions."

The two of them didn't speak in a deliberately low voice, and Chu Yunxi, who was standing nearby, could actually hear everything clearly. She smiled and shook her head. Xiao Mubei was just too nervous about himself, but she also enjoyed this nervousness.

Next, everyone did not waste any more time. Chu Yunxi took Imperial Physician Lin and the doctors in to teach them how to treat the patients. Xiao Mubei went out with masks to distribute them to the soldiers and the patients. At the same time, he and General Luo directed the soldiers to distribute supplies and understand the situation in the county.

According to General Luo, more than half of the people in Hongye County have died. After they took over, they pulled all the bodies outside the city and burned them. However, the epidemic in Hongye County has become extremely serious. There are new infected patients almost every day, and people die every day. Some soldiers have also been infected with the disease. Everyone is in a panic. If it weren't for the military order, I'm afraid these soldiers would want to flee here.

General Luo had previously sent out more than a dozen teams to chase the people who had left Hongye County in various directions, and had brought back quite a few of them. These people are currently being placed in quarantine areas, but they are full of resentment and believe that the imperial court wants them to die, so they are restless in the quarantine areas, and are cursing and abusing every day.

Xiao Mubei heard this and felt a little worried about Chu Yunxi who was currently in the quarantine area. After thinking about it, he decided to go back and check on her.

As a result, before he reached the county magistrate's mansion, he saw a soldier running hurriedly with a panicked face. Xiao Mubei panicked and immediately used his lightness skills to appear in front of the soldier in an instant, which scared the soldier so much that he hurriedly braked.

Xiao Mubei pulled him and asked anxiously, "But what happened to the princess?"

The soldier said breathlessly: "The princess...the princess was kidnapped by the patients in the isolation area."

"What?" Xiao Mubei's heart skipped a beat. He immediately let go of the soldier and used his lightness skills to head towards Hongye County. The soldier was stunned and when he turned around, he could no longer see King Dingbei.

Xiao Mubei arrived at the County Magistrate's Mansion almost instantly. He flew to the isolation area behind the County Magistrate's Mansion without stopping. On the roof, he saw that the garden was full of people, forming a scene of confrontation between the two sides. Lin Yuyi and other doctors and soldiers stood on one side, while the sick people, some leaned on branches, some bent their waists and coughed constantly. In the middle of them, a young man in his twenties had dark circles under his eyes and held a dagger across Chu Yunxi's neck, shouting, "Let us out, we won't wait to die here, hurry up, or I will kill her."

In the open space between the two sides, Zi Han stood there with a sword in her hand, fully alert. She just wanted to save Chu Yunxi, but Chu Yunxi shook her head at her, so she stood there waiting for Chu Yunxi's instructions.

Xiao Mubei flew down from a great height. He saw someone kidnapping Chu Yunxi and was filled with rage. He stretched out two fingers and pointed them at the young man's forehead. At the same time, before the young man could react, he grabbed the dagger with his left hand and pulled the young man's arm. The young man originally wanted to avoid the attack on his forehead, but his arm was grabbed unexpectedly and his forehead was hit. He was stunned and his eyes widened. When Xiao Mubei let go, he fell straight down.

Before Chu Yunxi could react, the man was already in Xiao Mubei's arms. The crowd was in an uproar. Chu Yunxi looked back and saw the young man lying on the ground motionless. She was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Did you kill him?"

Xiao Mubei snorted coldly, "If he dares to kidnap you, I won't be satisfied even if I kill him a hundred times."

Chu Yunxi said anxiously, "He just wants to live." She wanted to break free from Xiao Mubei's hand and save the young man, but Xiao Mubei pulled her tighter. Seeing her anxious, Xiao Mubei had to say, "Don't kill him. He will wake up soon."

Chu Yunxi was relieved, but the people over there started to riot. Some people shouted, "Murder! The government killed people. They really want to kill us to get rid of future troubles. We shouldn't trust these dog officials. We should fight them."

Although those sick people looked haggard and weak, their desire to live still supported them to rush towards Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. They had been suppressed for a long time, and Xiao Mubei's finger seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. They didn't want to wait hopelessly anymore and just wanted to break out of this cage, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope outside.

Zi Han blocked Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi with a sword, Bai Yu and Hei Mu also flew down from a high place, and the purple guards appeared one by one to protect Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi shouted, "Don't hurt them."

Therefore, the Purple Guards, Baiyu and Heimu only tried to stop them from getting close to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, but they did not dare to use force. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
