Chapter 293: Arrest
Chu Xinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when holding the letter. The court obtained this batch of treasures, which should be able to save many disaster-stricken places. If the situation in Hongzhou can draw out corrupt people, it will serve as a warning to others. I believe that those who are selfish will not dare to act rashly for the time being.
But in the next two days, something troublesome happened.
Lan Yi developed the antidote, but after distributing the antidote, there was a little accident and the mortality rate was indeed reduced. However, these people began to have high fever, headache, fatigue, back pain and accelerated heartbeat. Two or three days later, redness began to appear on their faces and hands and feet. Later, they were diagnosed by imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital that they were infected with smallpox.
To be on the safe side, to prevent the smallpox from spreading from the west of the city to several other districts of the capital, the emperor clearly told that from now on, people in the quarantine area, whether they have received the antidote or not, are prohibited from entering and leaving.
Of course, Chu Xinyu knew what kind of virus is smallpox. She was wondering how these people got smallpox? How could it be so coincidental that after the antidote was distributed, they got smallpox?
Previously, the genius doctor was detained by Xie Zhengqing in the name of a genius in the martial arts world and refused anyone to visit. The court separated two factions, one was supporting Xie Zhengqing's approach, and the other was opposed, believing that Xie Zhengqing should not have detained the genius doctor, and the genius doctor also cured some patients and was not considered a genius.
Now that something happened, the opposing party immediately came up with the matter, and a controversy broke out in the court for a moment.
Chu Xinyu quickly asked Lan Yi to call him back.
These Tianlan Yi were all with Xie Zhengqing. They put the antidotes in the suburbs through homemade bamboo tubes and sprayed some corpse water. In fact, they were permanganic acid, which was made by Chu Xinyu. Soon these corpses would turn into a pool of liquid from water and seep into the soil.
Xu Zhilan has been sending people to pay attention to Xie Zhengqing's every move. Moreover, Black Eagle found out that the person who met Xie Zhengqing that day, but he didn't see the front clearly, his figure looked very much like Miss Chu Wu.
Therefore, it is consistent with her previous guess. Although Tao Xin did not find out the origin of Lan Yi, after observations these days, she can be sure that this girl named Lan Yi must have something to do with the Xiang family.
She had always wanted to get this woman away from Chu Xinyu before, but she had not yet taken action and had not found a chance. Now she is 90% sure that she is from the Xiang family and can't save her life.
So, she wrote a letter and asked someone to send it out.
In less than half a day, Wu Wencheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, personally brought people to the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion to capture Lan Yi. At that time, Lan Yi happened to be found by Chu Xinyu and talked about the smallpox with Chu Xinyu in Biyun Pavilion.
Lan Yi said that the antidote was in her hands and she never left her side for a moment. The antidote would never have tampered with it unless the other party had planted the virus on the patient.
Chu Xinyu knew that the incubation period of smallpox virus infection was about ten days, and the antidote was distributed three days before it was distributed. Perhaps as Lan Yi said, these people were infected long before the antidote was developed.
Smallpox is not cured without myrrh, but it depends on how long these people have been infected with the virus. Otherwise, when it really breaks out, it is really hopeless. Moreover, this virus is transmitted through the air and has a very amazing transmission speed. Its saliva contains the largest amount of smallpox virus. Even if the patient has scars and peels off, smallpox may still be transmitted to others through the patient.
She asked the second wife, she had never heard of acne, and she didn't know what acne is.
Vaccination is a way to prevent smallpox, which is to plant something on smallpox patients on people who are not in patients. This little bit of virus will cause the body to produce antibodies. When the virus really comes, it will not be infected because of the antibodies on the body.
Chu Xinyu knew it was bad as soon as he heard it, so he ordered Zhubo and Zi Ling to prepare a large number of mulberry insects and pig tails immediately. Mulberry insects are a medicinal herb that can cause acne. Pig tails are used to cure smallpox in the late stage of smallpox and give birth to pockmarks.
She is not a doctor and what she says is insufficient, so she must find someone who understands medical skills and has a certain authority to solve the current predicament. Otherwise, once smallpox explodes and kills people, many people will inevitably be involved.
So she thought of Corning, the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Hospital Vice President, Cornburn. She has made a lot of efforts to distribute porridge this time, and her medical skills are also seen by the public. Moreover, she has a good personality and a sense of justice.
Before she could take action, she heard the little maid running away and say that an official in the mansion came to capture Lan Yi.
When Chu Xinyu heard his second uncle come back, he said that the people who opposed Xie Zhengqing in the court were Duke Ying and the Minister of Works, and these were all supported by King Jin. She had a clue in her heart. Therefore, when she heard that people in the quarantine area in the west of the city were infected with smallpox, she had a premonition that something would happen.
Now that I knew that the person who came was Wu Wencheng, the Minister of Justice, I smiled. As expected, Wu Wencheng was a student of Duke Ying, and they were on the same boat. Moreover, all kinds of things happened these days, and the people who were secretly pushing behind were the King of Jin and Duke Ying. Therefore, she had confirmed that the person who conspired with Xu Zhilan back then was Duke Ying.
Because she asked Gui Ye to find out through the relationship network that Zheng Ying had a distant relative with Duke Ying. Zheng Ying had participated in the top scorer competition in civil and military affairs. He had the worst qualifications, but he was qualified as a "military Jinshi" and was later introduced to her father. These were all related to Duke Ying.
Therefore, she is facing not only Xu Zhilan, but also a member of Duke Ying and King Jin. Xu Zhilan just happened to board their boat, which was the same as their goal.
But at the same time, she also knew very well what important role Xu Zhilan was among them. If Xu Zhilan had not interfered in the confusion, her parents would not have been sacrificed so early.
This time they came to capture Lan Yi, and they might have discovered Lan Yi's identity, or they wanted to use Lan Yi to warn her that whether it is the former or the latter, once Lan Yi is caught, she will be disabled even if she is not dead. Therefore, Lan Yi cannot let them catch her.
Chu Xinyu immediately made a decision and said to Wu Er who was invisible outside the window: "Huaner, take Lan Yiyou out of the back door later to find Gui Ye. Don't go back to the Hou's Mansion for the time being."
When Lan Yi heard this, she knew what she wanted to do and said anxiously: "Girl, I can't accept your arrangement." What is the girl's identity? How could she let the girl go to prison instead of her?
"You will only have to go in or out when you go in, but I am different. They dare not do anything to me for the time being. You and Wuer go and hand over the prepared mulberry insect pigtails and this letter to Princess Zhaoyang."
After speaking, she stepped into the study, grind the ink and wrote a letter, sealed her mouth, and handed it over to Lan Yi.
At this time, the maid outside hurriedly ran in and said, Yuqin came over and asked her to take Lan Yi to the front hall.
Lan Yi still didn't want to leave, because she was pulled away by Huan. Huan said to her: "Don't worry, your girl will be fine, and they dare not do anything to her."
Lan Yi looked at her in confusion.
Wu Er didn't explain much, but just gave her a sentence: "You wait and see."
