Chapter 30
In the imperial study, just as Bai Shuining was reviewing the memorial, Zhong Qingde walked into the study.

"Your Majesty, according to the letters sent by flying pigeons from various places, it is said that the medicinal herbs sent in the past few days are very effective, and even the same kind of medicinal herbs have been found in some places. All officials and common people have placed this kind of medicinal herbs in their homes. Herbal potted plants, and purple heart trees were placed next to the flowers. In just a few days, good news came from everywhere, saying that no more rats were found. Moreover, those people who had suffered from the plague were also treated by the imperial doctor Started to recover."

Listening to Zhong Qingde's report, Bai Shuining closed the memorial, and the sadness that had been in him for many days was only relieved at this moment.

"That's great. By the way, what is Xiao Yuxin doing now?" Bai Shuining couldn't help asking when he suddenly remembered the hero this time.

"This..." Zhong Qingde was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to speak.Say?Or not?

Looking at Zhong Qingde's performance at this moment, Bai Shui could tell that he was hiding something, and immediately asked: "Zhong Qingde, you have been with me for a long time, and you should know my temper. If you have something to say, don't hesitate and flash your words .”

"Your Majesty, the slave is just hesitating whether to say it or not."

"What should I say? If I ask, you can give me an honest answer."

"Yes." Seeing that Bai Shuining had spoken so bluntly, Zhong Qingde didn't dare to hide anything, and quickly took what happened in An Yunzhuang as everything, and said it in detail.

"You mean, the illness of the people in Anyunzhuang has begun to turn into a more terrible plague?"

"Exactly. This is what Mr. Xiao said personally, and it is absolutely unmistakable."

Bai Shuining then held her chin and fell silent.

"Zhong Qingde." A moment later, Bai Shui stared at Zhong Qingde and shouted.

"The slave is here."

"Pass down my decree, order Zeng Wanghai to withdraw his troops, take away all the imperial doctors and supplies, kill all the diseased people, and then set fire to Anyun Village. Remember, kill everyone, and I will not allow any trouble to be left behind " When he said this, Bai Shuining's eyes were full of chill.

When it is broken, it is broken, not a woman's benevolence.Even if those people were saved in the future, he couldn't bear his country to experience another, more terrible plague.

"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of thousands of people there..."

"What? You want to intercede for those common people? Zhong Qingde, do you know that if you let go of one person, more people will die?" Bai Shuining stared at Zhong Qingde, as if admonishing him, and as if admonishing himself, his voice was full of Killing intent.

"The slave is ignorant, I implore the emperor to forgive me." Zhong Qingde immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.He didn't expect that a few years later, the emperor would still be the same as before, he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go.

Bai Shuining waved his hand, "Hurry up and deliver the decree."

"The slave retire."

……

"The imperial decree has arrived, Xiao Yuxin, Zeng Wanghai accepts the decree." Zhong Qingde came to Anyun Villa, and then stepped into the meeting hall to announce the decree.

As soon as Zeng Wanghai heard the imperial decree, he immediately pulled Yu Xin and knelt down to accept the decree.

"By God's will, the emperor ordered Zeng Wanghai to execute all the sick people immediately, leaving no one behind, and then withdrew all materials and manpower, set fire to Anyun Village, supervised the censor Xiao Yuxin, and immediately entered the palace to face the saint. There must be no mistakes."

"I accept the decree." Zeng Wanghai took the imperial decree from Zhong Qingde's hand, frowning solemnly.

"Eunuch Zhong, you must not burn those people to death. I am almost on the verge of finding a cure for them, so..."

"Master Xiao." Zhong Qingde interrupted Yu Xin's unfinished words, and continued: "This is the emperor's will. As long as you are a minister, you only need to obey the emperor's order. Why do you resist the order and cause more trouble?"

"Eunuch Zhong, this is a matter of human life. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Anyun Village, not just one or two. Even if there are one or two people, they can't be executed casually. Could it be that their illness is also their fault? ? If this matter is known to the world, how can the emperor deal with it?" Zhong Qingde didn't know Yu Xin's words, but under the emperor's order, no one can resist the order.He had already expected this reaction from Yu Xin, so he was already prepared.

"Come here, take Lord Xiao away, and go directly to the palace to face the saint."

"Yes." As soon as Zhong Qingde finished speaking, he saw two soldiers of the imperial city guard coming out, and walked out with Yu Xin on his back.

Before leaving, Zhong Qingde walked to Zeng Wanghai's side and said softly: "General Zeng, the emperor must not be lenient in explaining this matter, and I hope the general will think twice before acting."

After sending Zhong Qingde and others away, Zeng Wanghai immediately ordered all the soldiers to execute those seriously ill civilians.Perhaps, death is the greatest relief for them, so in this execution, they were not hindered in any way.

Zeng Wanghai walked to the [Shuixielou], he remembered that a few days ago, a woman and a baby were sent here for treatment.

Stepping into the room on the second floor, Zeng Wanghai did not see the expected person.

"Come here." Zeng Wanghai called the soldiers in charge of protecting the place and asked, "Where are the mother and child here?"

"My lord, the mother and son who originally lived here were sent away by Mr. Xiao after they recovered." The soldier replied truthfully.

"Send away?"

"Yes, my lord."

After a moment of silence, Zeng Wanghai decided to follow the order.

On the third day of August in the sixth year of Zhutian, Anyun Villa, located fifty miles away from Lingxue Country, was surrounded by raging fire. The soldiers who had retreated outside the village all looked at the villa with heavy faces, without saying a word.
