The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 189 The Crown Prince is Here
County Magistrate Yu had made a lot of money reselling grain in the past few days and was happily counting his money when he suddenly heard footsteps. He was so scared that he hurriedly hid the banknotes in a drawer.
The lawyer ran in hurriedly with two city guards.
"Sir, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened..."
County Magistrate Yu's heart skipped a beat. What had happened? Could it be that the prefect had sent someone to check the accounts?
The lawyer ran in breathlessly, forgetting to salute, and shouted at County Magistrate Yu: "Sir, this is bad, something terrible has happened!"
"What happened? Tell me quickly!" County Magistrate Yu was so scared that he stuttered.
"Prince, His Royal Highness is here..."
Magistrate Yu was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to recover: "Tell me again who is coming?"
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city came up and reported in person: "Sir, a group of thirty people have arrived outside the city. The leader said they are the personal guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and are here to pass on His Royal Highness's orders."
County Magistrate Yu's legs went weak and he nearly collapsed to the ground. "Madam, Madam, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming here? You must have heard wrong!"
The lawyer stepped forward and said anxiously, "Sir! Now is not the time to dwell on this issue. Hurry and welcome the person in. Then we'll know if it's true."
"Oh! Come with me to greet him."
County Magistrate Yu quickly got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and ran towards the city gate. The legal advisor and the city guards quickly followed him.
The city gate that had been closed for five days was finally opened. County Magistrate Yu saw two neat rows of black-armored soldiers outside the city gate at a glance, and he was so scared that his legs began to feel weak again.
This can’t be true, is it really the Crown Prince who has come?
"Sir, sir, I am the magistrate of Yongkang County. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you. Please forgive me!"
Meng Yun took a look at the Yongkang County Magistrate and understood what was going on. This county magistrate was still quite young, and his eyes were timid and evasive. It was obvious that he was not a law-abiding person, otherwise he would not have messed up the entire Yongkang County like this.
He immediately tightened his momentum, his face full of arrogance and disrespect: "You are the magistrate of Yongkang County, why did you close the city gates and not report the epidemic!"
"Your Excellency, please allow me to report that the disease is spreading so rapidly. I am asking the doctor to develop a prescription, but it hasn't been developed yet. In order to protect the people of Yongkang County, I have no choice but to close the city gates."
"Oh! Really?" Meng Yun didn't believe a word he said, but now was not the time to blame anyone, as someone would come and deal with him later.
Meng Yun took out the oral order written by Yun Qing from his arms, which had the prince's private seal and his left guard token on it.
"The Crown Prince came to the south to recuperate. He discovered an epidemic while passing through this area and immediately ordered the imperial physician to develop a prescription for it. He recently succeeded. I was sent here today to control the epidemic, with the Crown Prince's oral instructions."
County Magistrate Yu knelt down hurriedly, took it with trembling hands and took a look. It was real!
It really was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No wonder the Imperial Physician appeared in Daxi Village, and there was also that mysterious bamboo forest. Thinking of the arrow stuck at his foot, County Magistrate Yu felt dizzy. The person in there must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He actually wanted to break in and arrest someone that day. He was really brave.
He sent men to block the Daxing Town gate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it. He killed the city commander as a warning. Oh my! He actually didn't take it seriously. This is terrible. He actually offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Is it too late to apologize now?
Meng Yun looked at the guilty look on County Magistrate Yu's face and knew that he had done something wrong. He thought of sending someone to investigate him later.
The situation was urgent, the epidemic was the most important. Meng Yun assigned tasks to Magistrate Yu one by one, telling him to carry them out immediately.
County Magistrate Yu got up and immediately called in craftsmen to build shelters outside the city to house the victims. Soon, five large cauldrons were set up to boil the medicine that Meng Yun had brought from Daxi Village.
He not only brought medicine, but also a thousand masks, and asked County Magistrate Yu to distribute them to the disaster victims outside the city first, requiring each person to wear a mask.
Someone else stood up and began to read the health song composed by Mu Qingcheng, as well as the benefits of masks, so that the victims living in the tents would take precautions first, know the importance of washing hands frequently, and maintaining hygiene to avoid getting sick.
County Magistrate Yu, listening from the sidelines, finally understood why everyone in Daxi Village was wearing a mask. He regretted it! He had indeed been told about the mask and the health song, but he hadn't taken them seriously. If he had known it was the prince's plan, he would have been willing to kneel down and invite them over. But it was too late. Everything was over!
Oh my goodness! There is another important thing. He has just been walking around among the sick people for a long time, and no one has provided them with a mask. He also wants to wear a mask now.
"Sir, can you give us one of the remaining masks?"
Meng Yun sneered: "Want a mask? Then go buy it with money!"
He pointed out a place to County Magistrate Yu - Daxi Village.
County Magistrate Yu was suddenly enlightened. That's right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Daxi Village. He'll go there right now, to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and apologize to Him. Maybe there's still hope.
Meng Yun saw through his thoughts at a glance and said calmly, "County Magistrate Yu, it's best not to waste your time going to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already gone to Fuzhou."
"Ah! His Highness has left?"
Meng Yun said with disdain, "Are you going to stay here for the New Year instead of leaving? Humph! County Magistrate Yu should quickly report the epidemic to the court! The most urgent task now is to collect all the medicinal herbs in the city. I'm afraid what you have here is far from enough. Send someone to notify the governor of Jiangzhou immediately and have him send the herbs over as soon as possible."
County Magistrate Yu was panicking and preparing to go into the city to write a memorial. The memorial was easy to write, but the letter to Prefect Fang had to be carefully considered. As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Meng Yun.
"County Magistrate Yu, you are not allowed to enter the city. You have come into contact with patients with the epidemic and may have been infected. You should stay outside the city and work! When all these patients have recovered, you can return to the city."
County Magistrate Yu slipped and fell to the ground. How could he have forgotten about the epidemic?
No wonder they didn’t give them masks, it means they didn’t intend to let them into the city.
Meng Yun didn't care how anxious County Magistrate Yu was. He asked his men to guard the city gate and only brought four people into the city to go to the county government office.
Meng Yun went to the county government office and summoned all the officials to begin their city lockdown plan. Like Daxing Town, all shops were closed, and the people were asked to stay at home. No one was allowed to go out.
All the herbs needed to treat the epidemic in Yongkang County were collected and immediately sent for inventory. As expected, there were still far from enough, especially the blue stone. It seemed that these herbs had to be transferred from the provincial capital.
As soon as the city lockdown order was issued, the people were the most obedient. The most difficult ones were the merchants. How much money will they lose if they can't open their doors for business?
Meng Yun didn't explain or waste time talking to these people. If anyone dared to cause trouble, the store would be sealed on the spot and all the goods in the store would be confiscated. Let's see who dares to cause trouble again!
This trick really worked, and all the shops closed down obediently.
But there are those who know it is impossible but still seek death and rush to reincarnate.
For example, the Tang family, the richest family in Yongkang, was not convinced, but the Tang family was not stupid. They did not want to be the first to take action, but rather wanted to reap the benefits, so they went to instigate Tang Chuning.
Since Tang Chuning sold Su Qingyan, he has taken over the Su family's property and replaced all the servants in the Su family, even the managers of the business, big and small.
The result was that within a month, Su Ji Trading Company suffered heavy losses. Tang Chuning had no business knowledge at all. He only knew how to do one thing: close down any shop that was losing money, and sell off any shop that couldn't pay off its debts.
In this way, half of Su Ji Trading Company's assets went to the Tang family. Everyone in Yongkang County knew that the Tang family was plotting against the Su family, but what could they do? The Su family had no male heir to take over the family, and Tang Chuning was Su Qingyan's biological father.
Tang Chuning was a cynical playboy who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun. In his opinion, how could such a large company like Su Ji not be able to support him? Even if he lost half of his money, he would still have more than enough money to spend. He would go out every day to have fun with friends, never even looking at the account books, just asking for money from the accountant.
