Chapter 1026

The plague has infected nearly 300 people so far, and all of them don't look very well. Among them, several of the severely ill patients have died, and those who survived are panicked.

After Lu Jiao, Xie Yunjin and the others passed by, the magistrate didn't dare to move forward, so he ordered the doctors from the Xiangcheng Medical Office to bring them in from afar.

Lu Jiao and Shangguan Yunyan gave the prefect a cold look, and the prefect smiled dryly.

Lu Jiao, Xie Yunjin and the others ignored him, put on masks and gloves, and followed the doctors from the Xiangcheng Medical Department all the way in.

On the way, Lu Jiao asked the doctor about the patient's symptoms: "Is the plague confirmed?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment. Although they are doctors from the medical department, their medical skills are not so good that they can accurately distinguish the disease, but if it is not for the plague, the infection would be too fast.

Doctor Xu thought for a while and replied: "The symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, high fever, ulceration, thirst, and skin suppuration."

After listening to Dr. Xu's words, Lu Jiao thought about it quickly. This symptom is quite similar to the plague, and it is so contagious, but there is no natural disaster in Xiangcheng, so it is reasonable to not be infected with the plague, and because there is a medical office in the Every month, the medical staff of the medical department will go to the villages and towns to check the local sanitation. It is impossible for a large-scale plague to occur.

Lu Jiao looked at Doctor Xu while thinking, "Doctor Xu is alright?"

"Yes, none of the people who came in from our medical department were infected..."

When he came in, he was still scared, but after two days in, he didn't have any symptoms of infection, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiangcheng Medical Department is in charge, coming over soon: "I have seen Mrs. Zhou Guo."

Lu Jiao nodded her head and asked the medical department: "Is there a way to deal with it?"

"We've tried a lot of soup recipes, but so far, none of them have worked."

Lu Jiao nodded her head and ordered, "I'll go and check it myself to see how to prepare the soup."

"it is good."

The medical department is taking Lu Jiao into a tent. The symptoms of the patients in this tent are relatively mild, not too serious.

The medical department was afraid that Lu Jiao and others would be infected with the plague, so they didn't dare to be careless, and Lu Jiao didn't say much.

After her examination, she confirmed that the various symptoms of the patient were indeed like a plague, similar to a plague in ancient Rome, but she was not careless. She took blood from several patients and went to a space for blood testing to check the blood composition.

Unexpectedly, this investigation revealed an accident.

"These patients weren't infected with the plague at all, they were poisoned."

The Xiangcheng Medical Department was stunned, thinking that he heard it wrong: "Madam said they were poisoned like this?"

Lu Jiao nodded immediately: "Yes, let the magistrate of Xiangcheng come here immediately."

The medical department was in a hurry, and walked out quickly, and quickly brought the magistrate here. The magistrate of Xiangcheng had heard about this matter from the department, and his face was extremely ugly at this time: "Ms. Zhou Guo said that this plague, It's not a plague at all, but someone has poisoned it."

Lu Jiao nodded: "That's right, they were poisoned."

"It's impossible for so many people to be poisoned, right? How did that person do it?"

That's why Lu Jiao was anxious to see the magistrate: "No accident, that person poured the poison into the well. The reason why these people were poisoned was because they drank the water in the well. The magistrate immediately ordered people to seal off all the wells in the city." , otherwise more people would be poisoned.”

The magistrate dared not be careless, since such a big incident happened in Xiangcheng, his official position might not be guaranteed. If many people died, let alone his official position, he would not even be able to save his life.

He quickly turned around and arranged for people to block the wells in various places.

Xiangcheng was already in chaos because of the plague, but now that the magistrate led people to block the wells in various places, the city became even more chaotic, and many people even tried to leave the city.

Although Mrs. Zhou stated that these people were poisoned by the plague, the magistrate was worried that they were not poisoned, so he dared not let anyone out of the city. The people who tried to leave the city fought with the officers and soldiers, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

In the end, it was Xie Yunjin who took a few of his men down to reveal his identities, saying that the infected people in Xiangcheng City were indeed not infected with the plague, but were poisoned by someone who poured the poison into the well.

Mrs. Zhou Guo is trying to detoxify now, so don't panic.

The brief chaos suppressed the past, but as time passed, more people developed symptoms, and Xiangcheng was in a panic for a while.

In fact, Lu Jiao has already researched the detoxification soup recipe, but right now a large amount of medicinal materials are needed to make the soup recipe, so the prefect of Xiangcheng can only send his men to the nearby towns to dispatch the medicinal materials.

But the chaotic people in the city didn't know this, and only felt unprecedented panic.

Even in private, a rumor slowly spread that the blood from Mrs. Zhou Guo's body could detoxify, as long as she put her blood in the well water, the detoxification would be cured.

At the beginning, this rumor happened in a small area, but later on, many people knew about it.

In Xiangcheng City, people who were poisoned or not, all gathered together and frantically rushed to the place where the infection was concentrated to catch Lu Jiao.

"Catch Mrs. Zhou Guo, her blood can detoxify, as long as we put her blood in the well water, we will be fine."

"Catch her quickly."

"Grab her immediately and bleed her."

The people who lost their minds rushed to Lu Jiao's side like a lunatic.

Xie Yunjin immediately led his men to protect Lu Jiao. He angrily scolded the irrational people with an ugly face, "Are you crazy? How can Mrs. Zhou's blood detoxify? Where did you get the rumors from?"

It's a pity that the irrational people didn't believe such words at all, and rushed towards Lu Jiao like crazy.

Lu Jiao's face was very ugly, looking at the common people who wished to devour her, thinking of what she had done for the common people in this book, at this moment, she was suddenly very chilled, all the strength in her body was exhausted, it seemed that there was no more Any urge to do something for these people.

"let's go."

Lu Jiao stretched out her hand to hold Shangguan Yunyan, she gave Shangguan Yunyan medicine, then stretched out her hand to hold Xie Yunjin's hand, and dodged into the space.

The people outside were so angry that they looked at the three people who suddenly disappeared, and they all turned to petrification.

But soon someone shouted from it: "The witch, Mrs. Zhou Guo is a witch, she is a witch."

"Yes, she is a witch."

A high-pitched sound came into the space, and Lu Jiao listened silently, feeling very bad.

Xie Yunjin walked up to her and held her hand: "Don't be sad, they are all stupid people, don't care about such stupid people."

Lu Jiao smiled wryly: "I did a lot of things for them, but in the end I was so honored by them, I felt very sad. From this moment on, I probably won't have the energy to do my best for them anymore. "
