Chapter 18 Epidemic outside the city

There was a lot of noise outside the inn early in the morning.

Su Qinglan, who was always used to sleeping lazily, frowned in displeasure.

"Xiyan, what's going on outside? Why don't you hurry up and deal with it..."

"Yes, Lord."

Xiyan went downstairs to chase the people away, but the group refused to leave no matter what.

He even told Xi Yan the reason.

When Xiyan heard this, she frowned, quickly returned to the inn, and told Su Qinglan about the incident.

Su Qinglan hadn't woken up yet, she was in a daze.

"What's going on? Are you saying there's a plague outside the city?"

"Yes, I heard from the people that many people have died. Now many people are coming to the capital, but half of them have been stopped outside the capital... and are not allowed to come in..."

Su Qinglan was completely sleepless now.

She turned over and frowned slightly, "You are so good, why is there a plague?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to find out the situation first?" Xiyan looked at Su Qinglan, "This matter is very suspicious. The epidemic happened just after Your Majesty came to the capital. I'm afraid someone is targeting you.

Lord, Lord, if you go forward rashly, you may fall into someone else's trap."

Su Qinglan felt that what Xi Yan said was reasonable, so she nodded, "Yeah! That's fine, you can send someone to investigate this matter right now..."

Not only was Su Qinglan woken up early in the morning, but Su Stringer and Xiao Yixuan were also woken up.

Su Stringer went directly to Xiao Yixuan.

Xiao Yixuan was just about to go out to see what was going on.

As a result, he almost bumped into Su Stringer who was standing in front of his door.

"Dad, are you awake too?"

Su Stringer was particularly happy to see Xiao Yixuan.

Xiao Yixuan rubbed Su Stringer's head, "Did you wake up?"

Su Stringer nodded, a little aggrieved, and didn't know what was going on outside.

If I wake my mother up this early in the morning, it will be very serious.

My mother hates it when others disturb her rest.

My mother said that people who disturb people’s beauty sleep are the most hateful people in the world.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the door to Su Qinglan's room being opened.

Xi Yan walked out first, followed by Su Qinglan.

He looked like he hadn't woken up yet, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

Su Qinglan was too sleepy and didn't even get enough sleep. Naturally, her mood wasn't much better.

When Su Stringer saw Su Qinglan's appearance, she stood behind Xiao Yixuan tremblingly.

Xiao Yixuan saw Su Qinglan getting up and wanted to go forward.

Su Stringer tugged on Xiao Yixuan's clothes, shook his head at him, and signaled him not to go over.

To avoid being repaired.

Su Qinglan was speechless when she saw Su Stringer and Xiao Yixuan sneaking around.

I don't even bother to teach them a lesson.

Xiyan walked in front, and when the group saw Su Qinglan coming out, they all knelt down.

Su Qinglan frowned, "What are you doing?"

Early in the morning, a group of people knelt here.

How much life will this cost?

Xi Yan said to the people kneeling on the ground: "If you have anything to say, get up first and say it first. What our Lord hates the most is people who kneel down easily..."

The people who were kneeling on the ground quickly stood up after hearing what Xi Yan said.

Seeing everyone standing up, Su Qinglan asked: "What happened? Send a representative in to tell me that everyone else should either be quiet or leave here quickly..."

This group of people was making a lot of noise here, which made her feel irritable.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all became quiet.

Finally, a middle-aged man was recommended.

It turns out that this middle-aged man is the head of Xishui Village outside the city.

Su Qinglan didn't like seeing the dense crowd, so she turned around and entered the lobby.

The village chief followed Xi Yan into the lobby.

Su Qinglan found a chair and sat down, and Xiyan quickly poured her a cup of tea.

Su Qinglan took a sip of tea before asking the village chief, "Tell me first, where did this plague come from?"

The village chief then spoke quietly.

This plague started half a month ago.

It started with some poultry dying suddenly and mysteriously.

At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention to it and thought it was death caused by eating something wrong.

Later, other poultry began to die in the village, and everyone realized something was wrong.

So I went to the city to see a doctor.

The doctor couldn't figure out why.

I originally thought that the matter should end like this.

Who would have thought that some people would start foaming at the mouth and going crazy.

His whole body turned black, as if he had been poisoned.

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the matter, so the village chief quickly reported it to the court.

But the officials of the imperial court did nothing. They just sent some doctors over to take a look.

The doctors couldn't see any symptoms.

Until things became more serious and contagious, one after another became infected.

People in the village were also panicked, and some people had long fled to the capital to seek refuge with relatives.

Others escaped overnight.

The county magistrate knew the seriousness of the matter and wanted to stop talking.

All those who could not escape in time were locked up and were not allowed to enter or exit.

They couldn't go back even if they wanted to, so they kept trying to find a way to report it to the palace.

However, the news they reported was suppressed.

Now, things are out of control, so word has spread to the palace.

When the villagers learned that the miracle doctor was in the capital, they took the liberty to come together and ask the miracle doctor to save him.

infectious disease.

The infectious disease first appeared in poultry, and then became infected in humans.

Su Qinglan pondered for a moment and asked the village chief, "Did the villagers become infected after eating dead poultry?"

The village chief nodded repeatedly, "Yes, at first, everyone didn't think anything. All livestock in the village died and they ate them. Who knew it was an infectious disease..."

The village chief frowned, "At that time, I realized something was wrong, and asked the villagers not to eat the poultry that suddenly died, but no one listened. Some villagers were not rich at first, and poultry was their only food. Now poultry

After it died, they were reluctant to throw it away, so they ate it secretly..."

Su Qinglan was speechless.

This incident happened half a month ago, so it probably has nothing to do with her coming to the capital.

Half a month ago, they would not have known that the miracle doctor was in the capital.

So, this is just a coincidence.

If there is a plague, there must be a source of infection.

Although I haven't been to the scene yet, according to the village chief.

The poultry in the village died mysteriously first, and people would become infected after eating the poultry.

The source of infection should come from the body of poultry.

According to this situation, it may be chicken plague.

But logically speaking, chicken plague cannot be transmitted to the human body.

But if a person eats chicken infected with chicken fever, will it cause the influenza virus to mutate?

If this is really the case, then things are not simple.
