Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 131
Chapter 131 Female General Hong Yin
“Your Majesty, Lord Lu said that the patients in the city are rioting. He can’t control the situation. Please send reinforcements!”
Patient riots?
When Bai Junzhuo heard these four words, his first thought was, could this plague still damage the patient’s brain nerves, or could it only eat people after becoming infected in a biochemical crisis? Otherwise, why would he make such a move?
Yin Xun put down the book in his hand and looked up at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly shook his head and said, “I don’t know what’s going on. I can guess the route of transmission of the disease, but the source and cause of the disease still need to be investigated carefully.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and said, “You go out of the palace and help him.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and stood up to leave. Yin Xun said, “Wait.”
Bai Junzhuo turned around and said, “Is there anything else?”
“You have to come back before you arrive,” Yin Xun said. “Also, be careful. The most important thing is to ensure that you are safe and sound.”
Bai Junzhuo’s heart skipped a beat as he smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m afraid of dying.”
*
Yong’an Canal passed through Xishi City and passed through the entire Chang’an City. The West City was the busiest area in Chang’an City and had the most patients, so Lu Kang first announced the order to burn the corpses in the West City.
Who would have thought that a single stone would stir up thousands of waves? In less than an hour, a mountain of people surged over from the western city and surrounded the officers and soldiers who wanted to forcefully burn the corpses. They were not allowed to burn the corpses.
Lu Kang shook his fan and stood on the tallest restaurant in the western city. He watched as his subordinates were surrounded by the people of Chang’an. They claimed that this was His Majesty’s order, but the noise was completely suppressed by the boiling voices of people.
Not long after, a guard went upstairs and said, “Lady Lu, Miss Bai has arrived.”
Lu Kang turned around and before he could see Bai Junzhuo’s figure, he heard his voice, “Your subordinates are going to die and live below, yet you’re drinking and watching a good show here?”
Lu Kang closed the fan and smiled, “Miss Bai, stop joking. You came up with this method of burning corpses. Now that the people are not listening to the orders, what should we do?”
Bai Junzhuo walked to Lu Kang’s side and looked out of the window with him. He sighed emotionally, “The people of Chang’an City are still smart and have thoughts and attitudes. They are not like the people of Luoyang City who were fooled by a mystic woman. Not to mention burning people to death, even living people dare to burn them.”
“Miss Bai, do you have any ideas?” Lu Kang asked indifferently.
Bai Junzhuo placed his hands on the windowsill and observed for a while. “There are many people down there who are not sick, right?” He said.
Lu Kang nodded, “I don’t think they’re all patients. Apart from people who have always believed in burying the dead, there are also coffin shops and shroud shops that don’t want to burn the corpses.”
“What beliefs do you not believe in? In the end, it’s all about money.” Bai Junzhuo laughed and asked, “I need to communicate with everyone. Can you calm them down?”
Lu Kang nodded and said something to the guards beside him. The guards turned around and left.
Not long after, Bai Junzhuo saw a female general riding a tall horse downstairs with a group of people. Without saying a word, those people put their knives around the necks of a group of civilians.
The female general’s voice was like a flood bell, and she had the might of Zhang Yide. She shouted at the people in front of her, “Everyone, be quiet! Whoever dares to scream again, I will pull out his tongue!”
Pulling out her tongue … This female general spoke in the same style as Yin Xun.
This female general was indeed dignified. With a single roar, the people below didn’t dare to speak anymore and all knelt down.
“Who is she?” Bai Junzhuo asked curiously.
“She is the adopted sister of the previous emperor, the aunt of the master, and the only female general in this dynasty.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at her in surprise, “She’s so powerful!”
Lu Kang smiled and nodded, “Indeed, she is not afraid of the heavens or the earth. She is not subject to His Majesty or any power in the court.”
Bai Junzhuo was even more surprised. Since that was the case, why did she come to help him?
Before he could ask, Lu Kang had already left this place. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly followed him down.
Lu Kang walked in front of the female general’s horse. The female general turned around and dismounted. Lu Kang cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, General Hongyin, for your help.”
Hong Yin raised her eyebrows and smiled. She patted Lu Kang’s shoulder like a man and said, “Say thank you to me. I’ll treat you to a drink another day.”
Bai Junzhuo walked behind Lu Kang and happened to see the general patting Lu Kang’s shoulder as if nothing had happened. She had an illusion that Lu Kang’s seemingly weak body might be smashed by her.
However, judging from their intimate attitudes, wasn’t there an unusual relationship?
“Definitely.” Lu Kang suddenly said, not knowing whether to answer Bai Junzhuo’s question or Hong Yin’s question.
Lu Kang turned around to look at Bai Junzhuo and said to Hong Yin, “This is the Miss Bai I mentioned to the general before.”
Hong Yin glanced at Bai Junzhuo from head to toe and said with an unshaved face, “Is this girl the only one who can solve the calamity of the Imperial City?”
Bai Junzhuo was a little unhappy when he heard this. Although her body was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her real age was already in her twenties, alright? In addition to the memories of her original owner, she was almost forty years old, alright?
“A person cannot be judged by appearance. Although Miss Bai is young, once she becomes serious, she is still very trustworthy.” As Lu Kang spoke, he said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai, they are already quiet. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and walked to the middle of the crowd. “The plague in Chang’an City is raging. The disease is intense. If the corpse is buried instead of burned, or even thrown into the water, the toxins in the corpse will flow through the soil or water to the uninfected population, accelerating the spread of the plague. Therefore, the corpse must be burned.”
The people below were still kneeling, not daring to say a word.
“What? Do you understand?” Bai Jun scanned the crowd and said to Lu Kang, “Lord Lu, give the order to burn the corpse.”
Lu Kang nodded. Just as he was about to speak, an old granny rushed out of the crowd and shouted at Bai Junzhuo with a wooden knife.
Before Bai Junzhuo could dodge, he could only raise his hand to block the saber. Fortunately, the saber was blunt and only scratched his skin and flesh.
Lu Kang was talking to Hong Yin. He didn’t pay attention to Bai Junzhuo’s situation. It was Hong Yin who discovered the danger first. She rushed to Bai Junzhuo’s side one after another and reached out to pick up the old woman. She said coldly, “You actually dare to make trouble in front of this general. Don’t you want to leave the corpse behind, you old bastard?”
Lu Kang hurriedly helped Bai Junzhuo up and examined her wounds. “Miss Bai, is it alright?”
The wound did not bleed. Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter.” “General, she’s getting old. Put her down quickly,” she said to Hongyin.
Hong Yin coldly swept a glance at Bai Junzhuo and said, “The benevolence of a woman.” He threw the old woman down.
Bai Junzhuo rolled his eyes in his heart as if she was not a woman.
The granny looked at Bai Junzhuo angrily and said, “You demonic woman, demonic words deceive the crowd. Our Li people have always paid attention to burying themselves in the ground since ancient times. How can I listen to your nonsense and burn the corpses?”
Bai Junzhuo sighed and explained to her seriously, “People are all dead. Burning a corpse won’t hurt. And think about it, the land is so big, but there are more and more people. If everyone buries themselves in the ground, one day the entire underground will be filled with people. Your boiler has buried corpses, and the bed you sleep in is also a corpse. Is it seepage?”
The old lady’s lips trembled slightly. She felt that Bai Junzhuo’s words were incorrect and did not know how to refute them.
At this moment, a kneeling man said, “That will be thousands of years later. Now that there is still land, people have to be buried in peace. After burning the corpses, their ghosts will be tortured like fire!”
“Who’s talking?” Bai Junzhuo raised his voice and said, “You have the guts to stand up.”
The man who spoke hesitated for a long time. He stood up and walked to Bai Junzhuo. He looked at her and said, “I’m telling the truth.”
“Truth?” Bai Junzhuo sneered, “Have you ever died?”
“I…” The man was speechless.
‘”You haven’t died before. Why do you think that burning a corpse after death will hurt your soul? Could it be that burying the corpse in a coffin won’t cause maggots to rot? Could it be that being eaten by maggots one mouthful at a time will make you feel better than being burned to ashes by fire?”
The man was speechless and hesitated for a long time before he said, “You are not from Li, are you? In short, we Li definitely will not burn corpses.”
“You can’t find a reason not to burn the corpse, and His Majesty has ordered the corpse to be burned again. Who among you dares to say ‘No’? I’ve really cut off your heads!” Bai Junzhuo scared them.
“The first emperor said that the law does not blame the public!” Someone in the crowd shouted again.
“Don’t blame the public?” Bai Junzhuo glanced at them and sneered, “If we don’t burn the corpses, more people will get sick. This epidemic will even spread out from Chang’an City. Are you people, or are the people of the entire Li Kingdom?”
The crowd quieted down. After a while, the man questioned, “Why did you say that the corpse burning epidemic can be alleviated? How can you prove that your medical skills are good enough to convince us?”
Bai Junzhuo glanced at him again and smiled. “Your tears have sunk into a daze, your divine appearance is sleepy, and your face is soot-colored. Are your kidneys weak and impotent? Did you go to many brothels or were you born incapable?”
The man panicked and said, “You, you’re talking nonsense!”
“There are teeth marks on your tiger’s mouth. Judging from the size of the mark, it should be the work of a five-year-old child. However, your kidney deficiency and impotence have been around for at least seven or eight years.” Bai Junzhuo sneered, “Go home and ask your wife where this child came from.”
“You!” The man seemed to be pricked to the point of being hurt. The more he thought about it, the more shameful he felt. He walked back to his knees dejectedly and didn’t dare to say anything else.
‘”I am a doctor, and I can see the symptoms you can see. Why are you better than us in your medical skills, and we have to listen to you?” Another person stood up and said unconvincingly, “I am a doctor. I can also see the symptoms you can see. Why are you better than us in your medical skills? We have to listen to you?”
Bai Junzhuo looked up and down at the speaker and asked with a face full of disbelief, “Are you a doctor? What nonsense are you talking about?”
The man was stunned and said, “I am indeed the doctor of Ji Ci Hall in Chang’an City.”
“Then how come you don’t even know that you’re terminally ill?”
