Chapter 60
The arrival of the officers and soldiers undoubtedly aggravated the panic in everyone's hearts. The arrival of the officers and soldiers showed that this matter would not be revealed lightly.

Even if the man's condition was controlled, they could not leave safely. As expected, in the panic, they only heard the stern warnings of the officers and soldiers:

"You guys, come with me. The magistrate has ordered that Shaoxian City is closed today. No one is allowed to leave the city. There is a post station in the city. You can stay there today. When the city gate opens, I will I will inform you." The official said with a sullen face.

Wang Wu nodded, and then escorted the prisoner to follow him towards the direction of the inn. If the plague was under control, it would not take long for the city gate to be opened again. It was only a matter of time.

It would take a lot of time to cross Huan Mountain and Guo Mountain. Compared with this, a few days of delay would be nothing. But how should these two people be accommodated?

Thinking of this, Wang Wu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhimiao and the others, paused, and asked Qian Xiang to lead the team first. He would be there in a moment.

Wang Wu hurriedly came to the officers and soldiers, facing each other with his hands clasped in fists. Wang Wu asked in a deep voice: "I wonder how to arrange these two people?"

Looking at the two people who were indifferent, the officer and soldier replied: "We will send them to the inn together, but it will prevent them from contracting the plague. I will report it to the superiors and open a separate room. If there is no abnormality after observation, I will naturally let them stay with you." Convergence.”

Wang Wu nodded, and then walked towards the team. Since he had a plan, he made up his mind. After a few words of greetings, only Jiang Zhimiao and Jiang Zhimiao were left at the starting point.

Although the doctor at Huichun Hall concluded that the plague was spread through filth, the two of them did not contract the plague, but the incident happened suddenly, and they still had to observe for a while whether they were infected.

Looking at the shackles on their feet, the officer and soldier said solemnly: "Thank you very much for this time, please treat me." After saying this, he led the way.

There was still no hustle and bustle in the street. As the man disappeared, those who were hiding in the store and did not dare to go out looked at the street. When they saw the officers and soldiers coming, the heavy pressure in their hearts was completely relieved.

After watching this group of people leave, they walked out timidly, took some things, and washed the place where the man lay just now. After everything was settled, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Zhimiao and his two men followed the officers and soldiers to Ruyue Post Station. Shaoxian City was indeed Shaoxian City. From the plaque on the post station, you can see how wealthy it was.

The words on the plaque are flowing and flowing, and they are written in one go. At first glance, it seems that they were written by everyone. How could such a plaque worth thousands of gold be hung if not rich and powerful?

Stepping inside, I saw lanterns hung all around the inn, creating a festive atmosphere. Perhaps the officers and soldiers had greeted them in advance. Apart from them, there was no one else in the entire inn.

This was a post station specially applied for to detain exiled prisoners. Seeing that there was no one around, this idea flashed through Jiang Zhimiao's mind.

But yes, before the men got sick, they were the only ones who were closest, so it was reasonable to apply for a special inn to detain them.

There is a fragrance of gardenia floating in the air, which makes people want to stop. It instantly wipes away the fatigue of the day. Sure enough, there is a difference between a high-end inn and a low-level inn. You can tell it just by the smell.

The inn where I stayed in the past was always filled with a musty and fishy smell, which made me feel tight in the chest and short of breath when I breathed. In short, the experience was extremely poor. Comparing the two, I can tell the difference between high and low.

The incense curled up, like a fairyland. The two of them walked into the house one after another. The furnishings in this post station were no different from those in the nearby ones, but the packaging was first-rate and eye-catching.

Jiang Zhimiao thought that the officers and soldiers would open a private room for them. Unexpectedly, it was a Datong shop. However, this Datong shop was some distance away from the Datong shop of the main army. It was close but out of reach. They were completely isolated. Come on.

Although the officers and soldiers were quite good, they were afraid that they would have nothing to eat, so they went to Wang Wu and brought dozens of hard pancakes. In addition, he also sent two kettles.

Seeing the dark look on his face, she concluded that he was definitely a man with a cold face and a warm heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so enthusiastic. After eating and drinking, Jiang Zhimiao sat on the ground and fell into a daze.If the source of the plague is the filth of plague patients, she can be sure that the two of them must not have contracted the plague. When she washed the man's stomach before, she was careful and careful. There was no physical contact at all. How could she be infected? plague?
Fortunately, before taking action, she was afraid that the plague would spread through the air, so she and Wen Zhuqing wrapped the exposed body parts with cloth, and then destroyed them all. In this way, the possibility of contracting the disease was lowered.

Jiang Zhimiao silently prayed that this man did not spread the plague to others, and that he was the only one who slipped through the net. If it broke out on a large scale, even manpower and medicine would not be enough to support this change.

The officers and soldiers moved so fast that one night should be enough to search the entire Shaoxian City. As his thoughts wandered, Jiang Zhimiao's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell into a deep sleep.

When Wen Zhuqing saw that Jiang Zhimiao had fallen asleep, he quickly pulled a handful of mat to cover her belly. As he pondered, sleepiness ensued, and he slowly closed his eyelids.

Gradually, the surroundings fell into silence.

There was no one in the courtyard with the flickering candlelight. Jiang Zhimiao leaned in front of the window, staring at the flickering candlelight in a daze.

There was endless darkness in the house, but the atmosphere of life was revealed under the eaves with red lanterns. Listening to the voices in the courtyard, Jiang Zhimiao lowered his eyes and played with his nails.

Her original nails were a healthy light pink color. Now her nails are getting longer. Although they are not very hygienic, they look like a manicure.

The five fingers were spread out in the direction of the light. In the dim environment, the green fingers were eye-catching, and paired with the cardamom-colored nails, Jiang Zhimiao felt something in his heart. He didn't like it no matter how he looked at it.

The nails were too long. Just when I wanted to see if there was any tool I could use to trim my nails, there was a lot of noise. Seeing this, Jiang Zhimiao retracted her hand and looked outside the room.

Wen Zhuqing was also awakened by the sudden sound at this time. He followed the sound and saw that there was no one in the courtyard.

As the sound approached, Jiang Zhimiao stood up in a hurry and stood in front of the window, looking out the door. The officers and soldiers who had sent them here seemed to have brought someone with them. It was dark at night, so it was not clear what he could see.

As they got closer, Jiang Zhimiao discovered that this person was the doctor from the Huichun Hall before. After thinking about it, the officers and soldiers opened the door and waved to the two of them: "You two, come here, the doctor is here."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhimiao quickly walked to the door and glanced at the old man calmly: "What are you doing?"

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The government sent me to show you. If there are no problems, you two can go back."

Jiang Zhimiao understood clearly, that's what happened, but she was still a little curious about what was going on in the city. Her heart moved and she asked: "Old sir, has the investigation in Shaoxian City been completed?"

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the plague happened suddenly, but the victory is the speed of action. The investigation has been completed in Shaoxian City, and no one has contracted the plague."

When he finished speaking, his eyes brightened, and he continued: "This is all the credit of the prefect. In the past, the supervision in Shaoxian City was very strict. Now as soon as the incident happened, the prefect's thunderous methods made it possible for him to do it in just half a day. Internal investigation completed.”

Seemingly aware that something was off topic, the old man continued: "The man who had the disease before noticed that he was feeling unwell and did not go out. He ate, drank, and defecated at home. After a few days, the food supply was at the bottom, so he went to the street to buy some food. .”

Having said this, the old man felt a sense of luck in his heart and said: "Fortunately, he has been alone in the past, which can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes." He sighed and added: "He is the only one who has contracted the plague. It is really a fluke. A blessing from heaven.”
