Chapter 548: Not broken faith

Shilang Zhao, who was about to jump off the city wall, was dragged by his entourage, "My lord, you can't jump. The city wall is nearly two feet high. If you want to jump off, your leg will break!"
Zhao Shilang looked down, his face pale and awake.
Yan Wang had been in the battlefield of southern Xinjiang, and he was a civil servant with old arms and legs, who followed him to join in the fun.
Regained his sanity, Zhao Shilang ordered someone to move to the wall ladder and climb down the ladder.
"Who else is in the sister-in-law's family?" Yu Jin asked.
The woman replied: "There is another daughter, she, she has a fever--"
The crowd was quiet, and subconsciously moved aside.
Fever is often a sign of disease. The woman’s daughter has an epidemic, maybe the woman has also contracted...
Almost all of the victims who rushed out of the city were gathered in the West District. They thought they had no physical problems and did not want to stay in the city to die.
They are afraid of being hit by the woman.
The woman seemed to understand the situation, and suddenly she knelt down and knocked three heads at Yu Jin: "Master, the tiger's head is left to you."
She looked at the boy in Long Dan's arms with great nostalgia, then turned and ran.
No one spoke out to stay, only the boy’s loud cry: "Mother—"
This kind of cry is sad to hear, but for the victims who are used to seeing life and death, it is only like this.
They are all precarious people, what can they do? Could she persuade the woman to leave her daughter alone?
Yu Jin was silent for a moment and said to Long Dan: "Take the child away first."
"The prince is not allowed!" Zhao Shilang rushed over in a panic.
Yu Jin looked at him.
Zhao Shilang tried his best to persuade him: "The prince can't be arrogant. The child's family has the disease. He may already have the disease lurking in his body at this moment, just waiting for it to strike. If he is taken out of the city, once the disease spreads, then It is an uncontrollable disaster, unable to explain to the emperor and the people of the world..."
He understands the kindness of this young prince, but kindness cannot be relied on in this situation, and kindness will often cause greater disasters.
Such lessons are not uncommon in history. The best way is to follow the usual practice: observe the epidemic first. If it is really uncontrollable, you can only sacrifice these people to avoid future troubles.
Zhao Shilang's words touched the pain of the victims.
"We are not sick, and our family is not sick, why can't we let us out?"
Seeing that Zhao Shilang came down, Qianhe County magistrate followed him, and said with a straight face: "If you are sick or not, it is not your decision. No one will think that he is sick, but you can wait out of the city and take the disease out. , How can it be good?"
Someone in the crowd snorted: "If you say that, the county master is still a city person, how can he get in and out?"
Someone said: "That's right, there are also those soldiers who went to the city for disaster relief, why can they get in and out of the city?"
Qianhe County magistrate was choked with nothing to say, his face turned into pig liver color.
Yu Jin glanced at Qianhe county magistrate and thought to himself: How did this mental retardation become the county magistrate?
"Don't worry, everyone." Yu Jin raised his hand.
People calm down.
For the young prince who ringed the bell to save the women and children, they were willing to listen to what he said.
"If you have any questions about the county magistrate and the disaster relief soldiers who can enter and leave the city, please ask Lord Servant to answer this question."
Although Zhao Shilang was helpless when he was pushed out by Yu Jin, he thought of the situation where the victims were crying in unison, and he secretly sighed and said: "You can see that if we want to enter the city, we need to change into herbal fumigated clothes and leave the city. Afterwards, they have to take medicated baths and decoctions repeatedly... and those soldiers not only need to do this, but their residences out of the city are specially delineated. They can only live in a place outside the city. Even after the disaster relief is over, they must observe at least For half a month, I am allowed to leave without any problems..."
Listening to Zhao Shilang's explanation, someone shouted: "We can do that too, as long as we get out of the city!"
Zhao Shilang smiled bitterly: "There are tens of thousands of people in the city. Once out of the city, how can so many people stay in the delineated place for a few months? And as long as one person with a lurking disease leaves, it may cause a city or a country. Disaster, who can afford such a responsibility?"
The crowd was silent for a long time, and someone murmured: "So shall we wait to die?"
Zhao Shilang, of course, could not say that, and hurriedly said: "The emperor and the court are thinking about everyone, how can we make everyone wait for death? Isn't the city divided into two districts, east and west? Everyone lives in the west with peace of mind, waiting for the city to no longer When the epidemic occurs, the magnifying family will leave the city..."
"What about this child?" Someone pointed to the child in Long Dan's arms.
The several-year-old child was tired from crying, and leaned on Long Dan's shoulder and began to doze.
Although Long Dan is a big man, he felt a little distressed while holding this little soft baby, he couldn't help but hugged a little tighter, and looked nervously at Yu Jin.
No matter how pitiful this child, in the end he still has to listen to the master.
The little child who was napping did not know that he had become the focus of countless people in an instant, and fell asleep with his small fist clenched.
"The prince just said he would take this child out of the city..."
Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness. When it comes to one's own life and death, compassion for a stranger is nothing.
Yu Jin nodded slightly: "This is what the king said."
Zhao Shilang kept winking at Yu Jin: "Master, don't cause chaos in a city because of a child"
Yu Jin said sternly: "Master Zhao was wrong. It was not because of a child that caused the chaos in a city. Besides, if this king broke the trust of even a child, wouldn't he betray his father's trust?"
Zhao Shilang shook his face.
King Yan really can pull the banner. It is the prince who is trusted by the emperor, and the king is only to accompany the prince.
By the way, where is the prince?
Thinking of the prince who had already greased the soles of his feet, Zhao Shilang suddenly felt that King Yan was more pleasing.
Despite the spirit of some young people, the character is good.
Regardless of whether a kind heart will do bad things, a kind heart is a kind heart, and it is always stronger than a cold heart.
"Everyone, listen to Xiao Wang's words." Yu Jin arched his hands at the victims and said loudly, "Since Xiao Wang has promised the sister-in-law to take her child out of the city, he will have his word--"
"Aren't you afraid that this child is lurking with a disease? If this child can get out of the city, then we have to go out too!" The crowd became excited for a while.
Yu Jin raised his hand and pressed it down, and the crowd calmed down again.
Suffering and despairing for so long, this is the first time that a nobleman has said that he can take someone out of the city, even if it is just a child, it actually gave these people unlimited hope.
For those who give them hope, they certainly have more patience and respect.
"This child will be quarantined and observed after being taken out. No matter what the result is, I will definitely tell everyone at that time." Yu Jin sighed. "He just died and his mother will not be able to see him anymore. Do you care?"
"Then what about us?" Listening to Yu Jin's words, many victims felt calm and softened.
