Even if Ge Wenfu knew what he meant, if he didn't agree, he wouldn't agree. Why would he insult himself with such shameless words?

In response to Qiao Sulan's anger, Ge Wenfu always looked normal.

Qiao Sulan's anger slowly calmed down, and she secretly laughed at herself for her lack of grace. It's just because Ge Wenfu didn't like him, so why did he sneer at others?

In the end, Qiao Sulan got up and took Ge Wenfu to find a secluded courtyard.

"Master Ge, why did you come here today?" Although his tone was still bad, he personally poured tea for Ge Wen's house.

The tea was placed in front of Ge Wenfu, but Ge Wenfu didn't even look at it, "I heard from Mrs. Qiao that the title deeds of the two courtyards were placed in two places."

The old couple agreed not to tell the fake girl about the yard given to Qiao Sulan.

The Ge Wen Mansion also arranged for someone to go to the brothel for questioning, and the fake girl also said that it was Qiao Sulan who wanted to provoke her.

This shows that Qiao Sulan deliberately arranged this incident in order to prove her innocence one day.

However, true innocence does not need to be proven deliberately.

Qiao Sulan gently turned the handkerchief and chuckled, "Master Ge, how come you rely on guesswork when handling the case? Who in Taoyuan County doesn't know that I don't have a good relationship with them? Who knows what he will say unscrupulously when he is angry. Come? If Mr. Ge has evidence, he will lock me up in the Yamen. If there is no evidence, you are bullying me, an orphan."

Ge Wenfu just asked a routine question and expected that nothing useful would come out of Qiao Sulan's mouth. "Miss Qiao is a smart person. I have no evidence for this case yet, and it is not easy to find evidence."

This case has gone beyond the jurisdiction of the Ge Wen Mansion, and others may not cooperate. In addition, it has been so long that it is really difficult for the truth to be revealed.

However, Ge Wenfu said unhurriedly, "My character is not afraid of hard work. If it doesn't work, I have to ask someone from the capital to make the decision."

When the time comes, officials from any government or state must fully cooperate.

The people down there don't know whether the court will come because of such a small case. They only know that the county magistrate of Ge Wen Mansion has a background, and many officials let him.

Qiao Sulan's heart sank, and she couldn't laugh at this moment. "I still say what I said. If Lord Ge thinks I am guilty, just put me in jail. If not, you'd better say less."

Then he stood up and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Just at this time, the people below hurriedly came to report that an embroiderer in front had fainted.

My head feels hot when I touch it, probably because I caught the wind and cold at night.

"Send it to the doctor quickly." Qiao Sulan hurried forward.

Nowadays, it is cool in the morning and evening in autumn, and it is normal to have a fever. However, if you can faint, it means that your illness is not serious.

Seeing that Qiao Sulan was in trouble, Ge Wenfu no longer stayed there.

When leaving the house, Ge Wenfu looked back. Judging from Qiao Sulan's behavior, she was obviously nervous when she heard that she had checked the fake girl.

If she had a clear conscience, why was she nervous?

The Ge Wen Mansion sympathizes with Qiao Sulan's experience, but if Qiao Sulan really uses such means to harm others, the Ge Wen Mansion will certainly take down Qiao Sulan!

Back at the Yamen, Ge Wenfu had read the complaint and the interrogation statements several times, but there was no progress.

If you talk to people in the capital, you are trying to deceive Qiao Sulan. What kind of case is qualified to be reported and has its own official document? There is no answer to this.

Rubbing his eyebrows, he remembered again that he wanted to return to Beijing.

That's all, let's wait for the progress of this case.

"Master, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" When he stood up, the boy below suddenly came over and asked. Ge Wenfu looked at the young man in confusion, "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

The boy is also worried, saying that three officials in the Yamen have already caught a fever, and he also feels something is wrong with his throat. Isn't he afraid that there is a cool breeze blowing in Ge Wen's house?

Ge Wenfu frowned when he heard this, why are so many people feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden?

But he didn't think much about it and asked the people below to make more ginger soup. Maybe it was the reason for the sudden cold.

But I didn't expect that at the end of the night, the doctor came to report that there were so many people sick in the past two days, and it was probably not normal.

Ge Wenfu thought, what does it mean to be abnormal? Or, if what the doctor guessed was true, what would be the consequences?

Ge Wenfu gritted his teeth, thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Close the city gate immediately and no one can leave the city!"

The boy wanted to persuade Ge Wenfu, because Taoyuan County is prosperous and many businessmen come here. If there are so many people from outside the city, if you suddenly close the city gate, there will be trouble!

If this turned out to be just a common illness, how much infamy would the Ge Wen Mansion have to bear?

"Do as I say!" Ge Wenfu has made up his mind. He has to explain to everyone and cannot shrink back because of fear.

At the same time, let the patients be treated in the yamen and make unified arrangements to prevent them from going home and passing the disease on to others.

There was such a big commotion in the Yamen, and the people were frightened. Taoyuan County, which was originally lively, suddenly became quiet.

It's just that the disease came so violently that in just two days, there was no place to sit in the yamen.

And the thoughts of luck that everyone had in mind also stopped at this moment.

Everyone has to admit that this is a plague.

Now, when there are many patients, Ge Wenfu wears white gauze to help the doctor take care of the patients, cook porridge and light the fire, and do whatever he can.

"Master, please rest quickly." The boy's cough became more and more severe. He didn't dare to get too close to Ge Wen's house, but he couldn't help but worry that Ge Wen's house hadn't had much rest in the past two days. No matter how strong his body was, Can't bear it. What's more, there are patients all around.

Ge Wenfu stood up, glanced around at the man with a painful head, and slowly closed his eyes.

We must hurry up and send this news to the court, and ask the court to send an imperial doctor and escort medicinal herbs.

Two days ago, he only reported it to the prefect, but now it was confirmed to be a plague. Fearing that the prefect would delay, he sent the news directly to the court.

However, when writing, Ge Wenfu hesitated.

They have a plague. Is there anything wrong with this paper? Send it directly to the palace. What if the queen encounters it?

Ge Wenfu thought about it again and again and wrote to Prime Minister Li. He wrapped it in moxa ash and wrote the word "plague" in big letters on it to remind everyone.

I didn't mention returning to the capital before, and I definitely won't mention it in the future.

If there was no certainty about the plague, there would still be people who would carry it even if they felt uncomfortable. But now that they knew the truth, many people had given up on living and lost their energy. Soon, the corpses lying sideways were carried out of the yamen one by one.

The common people are very particular about the idea that people should be buried in peace when they are no longer alive. However, people who have died due to the plague not only cannot be buried in peace, but even their whole bodies cannot be left behind, and they must be burned cleanly.

It's obviously autumn, but the fires burning corpses in Taoyuan County are endless, and it's as hot as summer.

The people had coughs and their voices were hoarse.

However, the situation for seven days was like purgatory on earth.

It all ends tomorrow~
