[Tyrant × Princess 35] Siege at the city gate

Like a drop of water in a boiling pan of oil, the malaria epidemic plunged the entire capital into panic.

Plague has always been something that people can’t avoid. Once it appears, corpses will litter the fields, people will be deprived of life, and their families will be wiped out.

After hearing the news, countless people in the capital no longer had any thoughts of gossip. They simply packed up their belongings and wanted to flee the capital to avoid disaster. However, they were blocked by iron-armored guards holding halberds and swords at the city gate.

“Why don’t you let us go!”

“Yes! Why! We don’t want to die!”

“My child is only three years old! Please, please let us go!”

“Let us out! We don’t want to be buried with you!”

“Let us out of the city! Let us out of the city!”

The Yulin Army stood straight in front of the human wall. Without the order to go up to the peak, they would not move at all. However, at the same time, they did not dare to hurt the people who were pushing because of anger. They could only be pushed and beaten by countless hands, and they were about to lose their defense before their eyes.

“Let them out.”

A cold and light female voice sounded above the city gate. It should have been drowned in the noisy and boiling shouts of the people, but for some reason, it seemed to reach the ears of everyone inside the city gate, making their brains filled with anger and panic clear for a moment.

“But I wish you all know that if you go out now, it will be impossible to come in again.”

“Keep your eyes open and look around. Among these hundreds of people, can you make sure that none of them are infected with the disease? With all this pushing and shoving, I’m afraid even those who haven’t been infected will be infected!”

As soon as these words came out, as expected, everyone’s eyes flashed with fear and vigilance.

Now that the city is under martial law, many people have been told by doctors from medical clinics going door to door that they know not to stay in crowded places, where they are most likely to be infected with the disease. It is best to stay at home and buy supplies and wait for the epidemic to pass.

And now they are densely gathered here. If one person fishes in troubled waters and wants to escape after getting sick, wouldn’t it be possible for them all to be infected!?

Thinking like this, the crowd dispersed automatically, and everyone looked at the stranger with guarded eyes.

The woman on the city wall was wearing a red cloak, and under Lang Lang’s voice, everyone’s eyes gradually gathered.

“It’s Princess An Ning!”

“Why is she here?”

“Don’t you mean that she and…shouldn’t they be hiding in the palace at this time?”

Someone who knew the woman’s identity spoke in surprise, and the crowded crowd began to whisper.

“The Emperor cares about the people and has put the entire city under martial law, not because he doesn’t care about your life or death, but because he wants to save everyone!”

Shen Nian stood on the wall, condensed the spiritual energy in his body into his throat, and finally added to the fire, “Now the Imperial Hospital and doctors in the whole city are developing anti-epidemic medicines, which have begun to show results. If you stay in the city, you can have a doctor consult you at any time, but if you go out of the city, the doctor will be so busy that he will not have the time to go out of the city to save people!”

“I have explained the pros and cons to you clearly. If you still want to leave, I will open the city gate for you!”

After saying this, no one in the crowd who was originally clamoring to leave dared to leave immediately. Reason gradually returned, and many people began to seriously think about the consequences.

The people who were making the most noise in the crowd shut their mouths when they saw what was happening. They looked at each other in the air for a few times and then planned to retreat. However, Shen Nian was condescending and traveled in all directions. He saw them at a glance and immediately ordered the Yulin army to arrest them.

“This epidemic is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. There are rebels who are trying to disrupt the peace of the Jin Dynasty and plunge everyone into trouble for their own selfish interests.” There were too many people around, and the Yulin Army was unable to catch those who were running around like loaches in the crowd. Shen Nian loudly exposed their faces, “Everyone, look around you! Those people running around are the thieves who are working with the culprit!”

The panicked and frightened people who had been deeply affected by it suddenly exploded when they heard that the epidemic was man-made.

“That’s it! I just said that the weather is so good, how could there be an epidemic suddenly!”

“It’s man-made! Quick! I saw it, over there! Catch them!”

“Catch these thieves! I want to avenge my mother!”

“You are so heartless! You are not allowed to run away!”

A few powerful men were unable to break free from the crowd of countless people, and were surrounded in the center. They fought with fists and kicks, and they were knocked unconscious not long after.

Shen Nian stood on the tower, squinting and feeling a large mass of fresh air flowing into the top of his head, eliciting an innocent smile.

…

After resolving the city gate siege that almost got out of control, Shen Nian rushed to the hospital outside the West City without stopping.

Nowadays, malaria is rampant, and in just a few days, many people in the capital have fallen ill.Shen Qingcang issued an imperial edict that once signs of malaria are discovered, the patients must be sent to hospitals outside the east and west cities. If there are any patients hiding the disease, they will be killed on the spot.

Under such iron laws, ordinary people are still afraid of death.Most of the sick people were gathered in the hospital within a few days. The medical boys put patients with different symptoms in different tents according to the plan negotiated by the Taiyuan Hospital. The doctors wore veils for consultation and tried their best to prescribe the right medicine. Now most of the people with mild symptoms have recovered.

Shen Qing Cang was the emperor and could not leave the palace to visit in person, so Shen Nian volunteered to come.

Although the process of volunteering was ruthlessly blocked by Emperor Jin Ren, if she really wanted to do something, Shen Qingcang really couldn’t stop her.
