Chapter 294: Relocation of the People in the North of the City

There are many people living in the east of the city, and it is impossible for everyone to get the medicine in a short time.

Because there were so many people, the liquid medicine in the big vat reached the bottom after two hours. After the liquid medicine was gone, the man breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the crowd of people waiting for the liquid medicine, some of them were trying to cheat for the second bowl of liquid medicine.

Since there is no medicine left, they naturally won't stay here any longer.

The man looked around and no longer cared about the big vat. He took his men directly back to the house in Qi Anyi to report.

Naturally, their movements were monitored day by day. When they saw that the liquid medicine in the big jar was gone, the secret guards hiding in the dark immediately went back to report and explain the situation.

These people are no other than the people under Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou.

Zhang Wenlai knew what they had been doing these days, and then he heard from the secret guard that the medicine in the big vat had been divided up by most of the people in the east of the city, and now some people in the east of the city had not yet received the medicine.

Yongning Hou, who was listening at the side, had a complex expression on his face, and he didn't know what to say. He seemed to have thought of something, so he said:

"Yesterday I sent someone to the north of the city, and brought back a person who had drunk the medicine. After bringing him back, he handed him over to Doctor Li. Doctor Li stayed up all night to check whether the medicine was really effective. Then this morning he discovered that something was wrong with the medicine."

Something wrong?

Zhang Wenlai, who had a somewhat gloomy expression at first, immediately perked up after hearing this, and asked hurriedly, "Doctor Li, what did you find wrong? Lord Marquis, please tell me!"

"This unnamed medicine can only temporarily calm the plague's toxins, but it's only temporary. The principle of the medicine is a bit like fighting poison with poison, but the poison of these medicines is still a little off, so it's only temporary and can't completely eliminate the plague's toxins. Instead, it aggravates the spread of the plague's toxins, but you can't feel the pain when it spreads."

After Yongning Hou finished speaking these long words, Zhang Wenlai fell silent.

Thinking back to what she had just said, Zhang Wenlai felt like he was not feeling well.

After he realized what was happening, he wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Marquis Yongning.

After all, all their hopes now rest on Doctor Li. Experiments are still ongoing on the fusion and decomposition of the three medicinal herbs as well as other herbs. This is the critical time to wait for news and no mistakes can be tolerated.

Even though they are extremely anxious now, they also know that the people of Nanyu City are almost crazy. As long as they say something bad about the medicine, those people who regard it as a miracle drug will immediately raise their hands and swing their weapons to attack them.

Even when Zhang Wenlai secretly said something slanderous about the medicine while watching Qi Anyi's men distributing it, it was heard by the sharp-eared people around him and he was beaten up. Fortunately, he ran fast enough and had his own people around him to cover him.

"Are we just going to watch the people die?" Zhang Wenlai murmured.

Then I smiled bitterly, thinking to myself, wasn't I just saying rejection nonsense?

"Yesterday I sent someone to rush back to the capital to report to the emperor about the medicine, but it will take at least half a month for the emperor to send someone over." Marquis Yongning's tone was rarely a little depressed.

"Didn't they say that Nanyu City is being watched secretly by many people? Maybe the emperor and his men have discovered this situation?"

Zhang Wenlai on the side speculated with some anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Yongning Hou glanced at him, and then couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "I think no matter how powerful the emperor is, he would never have expected Qi Anyi to suddenly take action."

Zhang Wenlai heard this and thought that Qi Anyi suddenly appeared on the day when the plague was most serious and caught them off guard. People in the capital might not have expected that Qi Anyi would suddenly take action.

Thinking this in his mind, Zhang Wenlai completely gave up.

To put it again, the most important problem now is to gather together those people who did not have time to drink the medicine, so as to prevent the people of Nanyu City from being poisoned to death by the medicine. Then there will be no need to keep Nanyu City.

Thinking of the people, Zhang Wenlai felt that the only thing that made him feel gratified was the north of the city. The people of the north of the city were always cautious and smart, and they were worthy of being the people he brought out when he first took office as the city lord.

Zhang Wenlai comforted himself in his heart, but he thought that almost all the people in the north of the city were sick. The most important thing now was to find a place to arrange the people in the north of the city who had not yet drunk the medicine to other places, so that they would not ask for medicine from the people of Qi Anyi if they couldn't control themselves.

Others were the people who had been locked up in caves by them before. At the time, they didn't know whether these people were sick or not, so they placed them all in one cave.

At first, I didn't expect Qi Anyi to take action, so I had no choice but to lock up these people. Now, by accident, these people have escaped the medicine.

Zhang Wenlai didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Zhang Wenlai didn't want to stay in the mansion and do nothing. He thought about going to the north of the city to arrange for the people to live on another hill. Zhang Kai was not here, and he didn't know what he was busy with recently. He was rarely seen. When he was seen, he said he was wandering around the north of the city or something.

Zhang Wenlai has always been relatively lenient with his subordinates, so he has never doubted anything about his own people.

He turned around and was about to leave the study.

Yongning Hou did not stop them. Now they were almost trapped in Nanyu City. There were sick patients all around them. If they went out, they might get sick by accident. Now they really depended on Doctor Li and the doctors he brought with him. And staying here, for a while, was useless.

He watched Zhang Wenlai walk away and sighed deeply.

Zhang Wenlai didn't know where Zhang Kai was, so before heading to the north of the city, he asked someone to find Zhang Kai's whereabouts, but was interrupted by a guard, who said that Zhang Kai was following General Cao and couldn't get away for the time being. Zhang Wenlai frowned when he heard this, but didn't say much. He just took the people around Yongning Marquis to go with him. After all, many of his original guards were sick, so he didn't dare to let his only remaining guards go with him to the north of the city.

Besides, the guards brought by Marquis Yongning have always been rigorous and in good physical condition. After all, in such a long time, we have never seen one of them overturn more than ten times, and only three or four of them accidentally got sick.
