Ye Jing and the others walked onto the streets of the imperial city, and then they saw that the main street was not as chaotic as usual. Regardless of the big or small drug stores, there were long lines of people seeking medical treatment in front of them.

The people who were being supported were coughing non-stop, and some were being carried by door panels to see the doctor. The doctors in the medicine shop and the guys who were taking medicine were all very busy. Except for the medicine shop, other shops were deserted and there was no business.

.Except for those seeking medical treatment, there are almost no people wandering around on the street.

"Master Jing, I heard that many people were sick during the martial law a few days ago, and ordinary people were asked to keep quiet. I didn't expect so many people to be sick. Is everything okay in your villa?" the aunt at the snack shop said in a panic.

"Auntie, we have found people who fell ill at the same time in our villa a few days ago. My sisters and others distributed free preventive medicine soup, and those who were already sick were cured in time. No one is sick in the villa now, if it is not a special situation

.My sisters and others will not allow people in the Villa to leave the Villa."

"Master Jing, I heard from the shopkeeper that your sister has become the owner of the villa. Your sister must be a capable young lady."

"Of course, my sister is very smart. The masks we wear were invented by my sister. My sister said that the masks can better cover the mouth and nose and isolate germs."

"Well, if you wear a face towel and breathe around, you will also inhale the wind-stricken air into your stomach. Hey, turn this way and you'll find the office building in front of you."

The street was very chaotic but the front of the Yamen was still calm. Ye Jing and the others came out early, so there were only two people in front of them to go through the formalities. Soon it was Ye Jing and the others' turn.

"Made, are all the people who didn't come here sick? We are the only ones who haven't eaten breakfast yet, and the rest are waiting for us to eat." The official said impatiently.

"Uncle Officer, please work hard for a while longer and finish our formalities before we go to dinner." Ye Jing put the title deed of the shop on the officer's table, with a small piece of broken silver underneath exposed. The two officers exchanged words with each other.

After taking a look at it, I immediately stopped complaining that I was hungry.

"The young master is very good at doing things. He is very busy right now when he opens the door, but a few of them have fallen ill. The young master has finished the formalities and hastily left the city. There are a lot of sick people in the city, and we don't know when we will be allowed to leave."

You're allowed in." The two officials quickly wrote a new land deed, archived the old one and stamped the new one. They also reminded them in a low voice.

"Thank you, Uncle Official, for reminding us. We will leave the city and go home as soon as we finish the formalities." Ye Jing said sweetly with a small mouth.

The name change, file and seal were completed in one go. When Ye Jing put the land deed into his arms, he felt a sense of accomplishment. When he walked out of the yamen, he saw that the people who were going through the formalities had been lined up behind him, and the two officials had already gone to dinner.

.

"Master Jing, why do you want to give them money? We are not in a hurry."

"Auntie, there are so many patients on the street who are coughing and asking for help. So many of them are being carried to see the doctor. This is the same symptom as the disease that people in our villa have. The old doctor in the villa said it is not.

What a bad illness. For the past few days, you will stay in our yard and learn from my grandma, making stuffed pasta. When this illness is over, our shop will open."

"Master Jing, I'm going to buy some things. It's the first time I go to your house and I can't go empty-handed."

"Auntie, thank you Jing'er. Auntie will run the noodle shop well from now on if she wants to. You don't have to buy anything for us."

When Ye Jing and the others returned to the snack shop, the door of the snack shop had been closed. The young lady was leading a little boy and was waiting in the grocery store. The grocery store was deserted and there was not a single customer.

"Grandpa Cabinet, hurry up and go to the door. The grocery stores are closed these days. If you want to go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, go out of the city now. If you stay here, don't go out casually."

"Young Master, are the people who are sick outside really a plague? There were people talking privately during the days of martial law, but the court did not allow people to speak out. I didn't expect it to be so serious once the ban was lifted. We have to go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, but we have to

You need to prepare some things before you can go back."

"Grandpa Cabinet, you stay in the city and be careful. Auntie, we are leaving the city right now."

After getting on the carriage, the aunt was still complaining about her daughter: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you pack a few more clothes and take them with you?"

"Mom, the streets are in such chaos. What if my brother is only a few years old and gets sick? This disease is not a good one. I heard my father say before that when the imperial court encounters a plague, it will close the city.

.The life of us orphans and widowed mothers will then be even more miserable. Master Jing, little sister, I know how to cook and wash, and I will not eat your food in vain."

"Little sister, what are you talking about? You originally went to my house to learn the art of making noodles. If there hadn't been a plague in the Imperial City, I would have asked my grandma to come to the Imperial City shop to teach you. If that were the case, wouldn't my grandma be in vain?

It's time to eat your food. Xiaozhu, please drive the car faster."

"Young Master, when you entered the Yamen just now to go through the formalities, I heard people on the street talking about the plague. The court was already discussing the plague. The imperial doctors in the palace were also studying prescriptions together."

"I hope this plague will pass soon. I originally wanted to start selling stuffed pasta in the new shop before the Chinese New Year. I don't know if this plague will affect the opening of our shop."

"Master Jing, what is stuffed pasta?" The aunt at the snack shop was asking this when a group of officers and soldiers came to the street behind them. They shouted loudly while running down the street.

"The imperial city is under martial law. People who are not sick are not allowed to go out on the streets. People who are already sick are not allowed to leave the medicine shop and go home."

"What? Why is it that martial law has just been lifted? How can we live without going out to the streets to buy things?"

"How can we keep the patients in the pharmacy? Even the hospital doesn't have much room for them to stay."

"Everyone is out, all the pharmacies are closed and they won't diagnose the disease."

"No chaos is allowed. Anyone who makes a loud noise on the street will be arrested and taken to the Yamen."

Before the commotion in the street ended, another group of people ran out of the palace. The sound of horse hooves was accompanied by the shouts of the horsemen.

"If you can walk by yourself, go home right away. If you can't walk by yourself, leave it where you are..."

"Xiao Zhuzi, hurry up the car." Ye Jing urged.

There was no news from the city gate yet, and there was still a long queue of carriages entering the city. The number of people leaving the city was negligible. Ye Jing and his carriage had just left the city gate. Another group of court soldiers on horseback ran towards the city gate.

Come. Before the people reached the city gate, they knocked on the gong and shouted loudly.

"There is a plague in the imperial city. The city gates will be closed immediately. No one can go out or enter." The sound of gongs and shouts reached the city gate, and chaos immediately broke out at the city gate. Many people followed the officers and soldiers on horseback and ran towards the city gate.

Several court soldiers guarding the city gate immediately drove away the carriages and people blocking the city gate and prepared to close the heavy gate. At this time, the court soldiers on horseback arrived at the city gate and took out a piece of official document to negotiate with the city gate soldiers.

There were also people of all ages rushing out of the city, running non-stop to the outside of the city. The officials at the city gate shouted loudly, and people leaving the city crowded in desperately.

The imperial soldiers waved their riding whips and finally took out their long swords. The people at the city gate were forcefully driven away. The city gate was finally closed, and there were shouts inside and outside the city gate.

Ye Jing's carriage ran towards the villa without stopping. Several people could clearly see the situation at the gate of the city.

"Master Jing, thank you for listening to your words, otherwise we would have been locked up in the imperial city and unable to get out. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful at such a young age. Auntie, I am full of hope for the new shop."

"Mom, you won't blame me now, will you? What can be more important than life? If dad hadn't done it for those few people who didn't give money to eat, he wouldn't have been killed in the chaos." The young lady hugged him.

He said to his five or six year old brother.

Dad, I saw Dad." The little boy had been silent for a while, but now he took over and said something.

"Son, what are you talking about? Your father died unjustly, and he will not come to you even if he is lonely over there. You are the only root of our family. Head, do you blame me for selling the snack shop..." Auntie babbled.

Said.

"Aunt Panzi, you are so scared in broad daylight. My little brother is probably sick. When the young master and I went to the Imperial City a few times ago, he was still playing behind us." Driving the car.

Xiao Zhuzhu said something. The aunt at the snack shop became even more panicked when she heard it.

"Son, why don't you tell your mother if you don't feel comfortable? You can't be sick. You are the root of our family."

"Mom, I'm tired and cold."

"Xiao Zhuzhu, hurry up the carriage and ask my sister to show it to my little brother when we get back to the villa."

"Young Master, our one-horse carriage is already the fastest."

Yuqing was still guarding the entrance of the villa. There was a large bucket of disinfectant water made from herbs at the entrance of the villa. Hualien Hua Qiaoer and a few beggar soldiers were getting ready. Ye Jing's carriage was far away and he saw the open door of the villa.

"Sister, the imperial city is closed. No one is allowed in or out."

"Miss, the little brother in the shop next door seems to be sick." While Ye Jing was talking to Xiao Zhuzhu, the carriage ran to the villa.

"Don't worry, come down and disinfect before entering the villa. Auntie, come here with your little brother in your arms. The owner of the village will check if he is sick."

"Sister, the imperial city is in chaos again, and many people have contracted the plague. The grandfather and the clerk in the grocery store were preparing to pack some things and go back to the countryside, but unexpectedly the city gate was closed. Sister, I spent half a tael of silver to

We asked the official to complete the transfer procedures for us, and hurriedly ran out of the city gate..." Ye Jing watched his sister diagnosing his little brother, while talking about the situation in the imperial city.

"Aunt, my brother is infected, but it's not serious. Take this pack of small pills three times a day and you'll be almost cured in two or three days. Jing'er, you take Aunt and the others to the Sixth Hospital.

Son, sister, there is something going on here, let’s talk about something else when we get back tonight.”

At this time, the carriages passing by on the official road outside Kungfu Villa were in a hurry, and the people passing by were in a panic. Yuqing looked helplessly at the people returning from the imperial city, and sighed in his heart that there was probably a plague in the countryside here and there in the Villa.

.Whether in ancient times or modern times, home has always been a warm haven. However, there is a huge difference between ancient times and modern times in the understanding of diseases.

Yuqing and his people waited at the entrance of the villa until the afternoon. Only a few of the women who went to the imperial city came back, and most of them were locked up in the imperial city.

"Miss Village Owner, are we all fine after being sprayed with disinfectant water?" asked an aunt who luckily ran away from the imperial city.

"Auntie, try not to come into contact with others when you go back. Later, the owner of the village will go to your yard to check you again. Hualien, write down the information of everyone who comes back. Ghost Four, close the door of the villa and leave only a small

Door, don't forget that everyone who returns to Zhuangzi must be strictly disinfected. People from outside who come to Zhuangzi to visit relatives must wait until the owner of the village has diagnosed them before they are allowed to enter the village." Yu Qing gave serious instructions.

"Wait a minute, old man, I have escaped from the imperial city." The old man shouted while running out of breath.

"Master, have you entered the imperial city?" Yuqing asked.

"Master's apprentice, I have entered the imperial city but I have not been sick. If it is time to disinfect, you can do it. The master will have something to say to you later." The old man was breathless when he ran to the entrance of the villa. If it wasn't

For the sake of this precious apprentice, he would not go back through the dog hole.

Until it got dark, a few people who emerged from the holes in the city wall like old doctors came back one after another. A few people who went to the countryside to buy things for the New Year had not returned yet.

"Master, those who went to the countryside and didn't come back were all the women from Sanyuan'er. Those who didn't come back from the imperial city included a few women from the concubine's area and the side branch area. Just now Gui Wu and Gui Liu went to Guandao to have a look. On Guandao

The number of patrolling imperial soldiers has increased. I think it will be difficult for them to come back even if they want to come back at this time." Hualien has been guarding the entrance of the village, and she came back and told Yuqing at this time.

"Hurry up and have a meal and rest for a while, and then go with the owner of the village to see those people who have returned."

"Master Yuqing, I want to go back to the Third Courtyard to have a look, but none of my mother and the others have come back. The rest are children, so why are they so noisy now?" Ye Xuan said worriedly.

"Then go back quickly. There is nothing going on in the villa for the time being. Zhen'er, you should also go back and see your mother and the others. They should be frightened when they come back from the imperial city."

"Miss Villa Owner, the people who didn't come back from the villa were arrested by the imperial soldiers again. This time they don't want money to redeem them, and they want us to prepare 10 days of food and dry vegetables. This is the specific amount." Gui Qi, the gatekeeper, took the

The official documents from the imperial court came back and talked to Yuqing and the others.

"Master Yuqing, my mother and aunt are both on the list, as well as my two eldest sisters-in-law. Several of the aunts and uncles here are from the side branch."

"Yes, about 20 more people have been arrested by the court. Each person has five kilograms of grain and two kilograms of dried vegetables per day. This is not an opportunity to prey on the people. Can they eat so much?"

"Master Yuqing, this is 1,000 kilograms of grain and 200 kilograms of dried vegetables. How can we have so many reserves in our villa?"

"Zhen'er, this is a big event for the villa. The villa can't produce food and so many dried vegetables for the time being. So we mobilized all the houses and courtyards to provide food and vegetables, but the villa is still not enough to find a way. I will do it tomorrow morning.
