Chapter 14 Acting
"Then?"

"Afterwards, I will ask General Wang to lead a team to find you, Young Master." Zhou Shu replied, "At that time, I will ask Young Master to run as far away as possible. It is best to hide it so that no one can find it."

"You want to take advantage of the opportunity to go out of the city to find me, to find those victims who were hidden by Zhang Mao'an?"

It's easy to talk to a smart person, and Wen Yuting guessed her purpose right away.

"Yes."

"After finding those victims, what should you do?"

If those people were really infected with the plague, then finding a place outside the city to enclose them would be the safest way.

Brought it back to the city hastily, in case it spreads to other people, causing panic in Xiangzhou city, and spreads to the ears of Emperor Xuan, not to mention her, even I will be punished.

If it is light, he will be dismissed from office, and if it is serious, he will lose his head.

He is not afraid, but Zhou Shu is obviously not open enough to put life and death aside.

Seeming to see through his thoughts, Zhou Shu put his hands together and bowed to him.

"Young Lord, please don't worry, I just need to find out the whereabouts of those people, and then ask the doctor to confirm whether they are infected with the plague."

"What should you do if it's really a plague? What if it's not?"

"Young Lord, no matter whether those people are really infected with the plague or not, their identity as the people of our Daliang Kingdom will not change from the beginning to the end."

"If they are really infected with the plague, the lower officials will order people to enclose a piece of land outside the city, build some houses, let those people live there, and find some reliable doctors to treat them."

"Zhou Shu, have you ever thought about whether it is worth it to save those people and infect more people?"

Wen Yuting looked at her disapprovingly.

Zhou Shu insisted on his own opinion, "Young Lord, this official is the parent officer of Siyi County, and I can't let this official watch his own people die."

"If the young master is afraid, he can refuse, and the subordinate can find another way."

"Zhou Shu!"

Wen Yuting was almost pissed off by her.

Did she think she was greedy for life and afraid of death?
Did she know that once the news of the outbreak of the plague spread, people in Xiangzhou City would be panicked.

She, the newly appointed magistrate of Siyi County, will become the target of public criticism.

Otherwise, she thought, why did Zhang Maoan know about it and not report it?
"Young Lord, a gentleman can do something and not do something. You think that lower officials are pedantic and don't know how to adapt, but if everyone is like Zhang Mao'an, who only knows how to protect himself when encountering things, then who else is there in this society? Trustworthy? People of Liming, who can they rely on?"

"Although the lower officials are only seventh-rank officials, they are parents' officials, so they should contribute to the common people."

Every word and every sentence is resounding.

Wen Yuting couldn't speak to her, and sighed helplessly.

"Everyone knows that this Marquis is a well-known dandy, and he can justify doing ridiculous things. Tomorrow, this Marquis will do as you say."

This is a compromise.

Zhou Shu suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and thanked him.

"In this way, the next official will thank the young master on behalf of the people of Siyi County."

She has always followed the rules, and it is rare for her to argue loudly with him today for the people of Siyi County.

Wen Yuting leaned closer, staring at her flushed eyes from excitement, joking.

"Why do you look like a little girl, Zuo only argued a few words, and she looked so wronged that she was about to cry. People who didn't know saw it, and thought that the Marquis bullied you."

He does not mean that.

Zhou Shu was shocked, like a frightened deer, his eyelashes trembling non-stop.

I'm afraid that if I miss a loophole somewhere, he will find out that something is wrong.

The fingers hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly, desperately suppressing the panic in his heart, "Young master just joked."

Her voice trembled violently with fear.

Wen Yuting gave her a suspicious look.

It was only caused by being too excited.

Seeing him staring intently at his Adam's apple, Zhou Shu coughed lightly, and gathered his collar with his right hand to block his probing eyes.

Turn the topic back to the people who got the plague.

"Young Lord, I have seen the word "plague" in a medical book, and it recorded the method of curing the plague. When those people are found, if they are really infected with the plague, the official will ask people to follow the method recorded in the medical book. child treatment."

"In addition, in order to appease the people in Xiangzhou City, the lower officials will go to the medical shed to take care of them in person. If the plague is not eliminated, the lower officials will be with the people for a day."

She spoke resolutely, and after finishing speaking, she bowed her hands to Wen Yuting, turned around and left without giving him any chance to refute.

Walked out of Wen Yuting's room, out of the courtyard, and returned to his own room.

As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Wang Youxian who came out of her room.

"General Wang?" He glanced behind him.

If she read correctly just now, he came out of her room?

Wang Youxian didn't feel guilty about being caught at all.

"Master Zhou, you are finally back."

Saying that, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the room.

Zhou Shu's body was weak and he couldn't keep up with his pace.

Out of breath, he said, "General Wang, slow down."

It was only then that Wang Youxian realized that a layer of cold sweat had broken out on her forehead, and even her lips had turned white.

Terrified, she immediately let go of her hand.

"Master Zhou, are you okay?"

Zhou Shu leaned against the wall for a long time, then nodded, "No problem."

"General Wang, why are you looking for an officer?"

"that……"

The words came to his lips, but he was a little embarrassed to say them.

A pair of sharp falcons, looking around.

Zhou Shu looked at him amusedly, and asked for him.

"General Wang, did you come here to find a subordinate officer for the day's affairs?"

Hearing this, Wang Youxian's eyes lit up, "Exactly."

"Then General Wang, let's go in and talk."

"Eh, good."

After saying that, he pushed open the door familiarly, and walked in first.

Zhou Shu looked at his extremely skilled movements, a faint light flashed in his black pupils, he lifted his feet, and followed.

Entering the room, Zhou Shu first lit the candles on the candlestick, then took off the cloak and hung it on the hanger.

Then he went back to the table and poured a cup of tea for Wang Youxian and her.

Wang Youxian was impatient, so he picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

At the end, he wiped his mouth rudely.

"Master Zhou, tell me if you have any plans."

"General Wang, I have already discussed with the young master. Tomorrow he will make a fuss about going hunting, and then he will ride out of the city alone. At that time, you will take a group of people and horses out of the city."

"that's it?"

"Of course not." Zhou Shu shook his head, a little worried about Wang Youxian's impetuous temper, "General Wang, you have to pretend that you can't find the young master, take people outside the city, and search for places where people can hide. .”

"If you find the hiding places of those victims, remember not to startle them." She was worried about Wang Youxian's recklessness, and emphasized, "General Wang, those people are likely to be infected with the plague. The people of the city, so please, General Wang, don't act impulsively."

Although Wang Youxian has a quick temper, he can clearly distinguish the priorities.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I know it well."

"Then thank you, General Wang."

"You're welcome." Wang Youxian waved his hands gracefully and got up to say goodbye after the matter that had been on his mind was resolved.

After seeing off Wang Youxian, Zhou Shu let out a sigh of relief.

Get up and close the door.

Suddenly, the window creaked, and a black shadow entered through the window.

Zhou Shu's expression was calm, without the slightest panic of being intruded suddenly.

The man in black raised his hand to take off his mask, revealing a face she was very familiar with.

"Brother, are there any whereabouts of the female family members of the Li family?"
