Hearing the compliment, Qi Ranran raised his eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction,

"That's okay, but..."

Halfway through what he said, he stopped talking.

Yu Wenchen was attracted by the second half of her unfinished sentence. He looked in her direction and asked,

"What?"

Qi Ranran suddenly reached out with a wicked smile, hooked his chin, and said teasingly,

"You are my person, and of course I have to help take care of your affairs."

Yu Wenchen laughed and pulled her hand down with a sigh.

"It's noisy again."

Qi Ranran giggled,

"Isn't this just to liven up the atmosphere?"

As he said that, he gave him a piece of pork ribs.

"Hey, eat more."

The body still needs to take supplements.

Listening to the relaxed words coming from the room, Eunuch Li and Caiyue looked at each other.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the queen still has a way.

To make the emperor feel better, we still have to rely on the empress.

**

After dinner, it took about a while to burn incense before I received the message from the servant.

The governor has arrived.

Also accompanying him was Jiang Yuanzheng.

Yuwen Chen is serious,

"How did things go?"

The governor took the lead in reporting the discovered situation.

"Report to your Majesty that the 'immortal master' has surrendered.

The 'immortal master' confessed that he acted under the instructions of Xie and Liang.

On the pretext of covering up the illness, they fabricated and distorted the facts and fooled the people.

Loot and forcibly suppress pharmaceutical companies in order to supply dignitaries and seek huge profits.

During this period, the 'immortal master' deceived women and did many illegal things to satisfy his personal interests.

This is a confession, please see it before your Majesty."

When people suffer from diseases, their first instinct is to see a doctor and get medicine.

But there were too many people, and medicinal materials became in short supply at this time.

When a disease or disaster strikes, dignitaries are the first to get the news.

Everyone is in danger and will naturally make preparations in advance.

This has resulted in many people having no way to seek medical advice, leading to many deaths and injuries.

As the number of casualties increased, it became difficult to control.

In order to prevent people from causing trouble and to preserve political performance assessment,

It was also to cover up the news that several villages were not spared and were wiped out by the disease.

The prefects of the two prefectures fabricated lies, introduced "immortal masters" to stabilize the situation, and fooled the people with the appearance of mountain monsters.

When Yu Wenchen saw the confession presented by the governor, the anger he had finally suppressed came up again. He slapped the confession on the case angrily and scolded her coldly.

"For such a fool, it seems that the punishment I gave them is still light."

The governor remained silent, but now there is a situation that the emperor needs to know more about.

"Your Majesty, during this period, many people have fallen ill.

According to Weichen statistics,

There are approximately 25,732 people infected with the disease,

The dead...about 17,000 people,

Today...the number of sick people is still increasing,

This disease spreads very quickly, is highly virulent, and has spread over a large area.

All have symptoms of high fever, headache, and difficulty breathing.

Therefore, Wei Chen boldly guessed that this symptom should be plague,

Now, I have quarantined the sick person, please give me your permission."

As soon as the word "plague" was uttered, the expressions of everyone who heard it changed.

Qi Ranran's heart also skipped a beat.

plague!

This is no small matter.

Quite early on, the plague was also prevalent in Europe, which was also known as the Black Death.

In that epidemic, Europe lost nearly one-third of its population.

There was also a large-scale plague outbreak in the Ming Dynasty.

It was mentioned in official documents at that time,

"Ten rooms and nine are empty, no one is collecting the corpses, the children in the neighborhood are missing, there are coffins, there are no coffins, the nine gates count more than 200,000,"

The capital of the Ming Dynasty lost one-fifth of its population in just four months.

This shows how ferocious the plague was.
