After the Little New Year, the number of people who got sick every day was only a few. There were cured people in the medical shed every day. Yang Heshu saw that there were fewer people, and the other hospital was almost empty, so they simply put the people in the medical shed out.

All the patients were moved to other hospitals.

Man Bao no longer cares about the other hospital and concentrates on taking care of the remaining patients in the military camp. When they recover one after another, New Year's Eve is coming soon.

It is impossible to think about returning to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Man Bao was holding a hand stove. As soon as he got off the carriage, Ying Yue welcomed him in. She said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Bai and the others are here, and we are waiting for Miss Man."

Man Bao shrank his neck and said: "Xiazhou is really cold, much colder than the capital city. Fortunately, there are many medicinal materials sent to treat wind and cold, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble."

Yang Heshu, who was sitting by the fire and was somewhat drowsy, vaguely heard these words. He raised his head and saw her coming in wearing a cloak. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness and preparing the medicinal materials in advance."

Prepare these."

This time it was a private banquet. Zhou Man had just come out of the military camp to cleanse her and celebrate. Now, except for some uncured smallpox patients in other hospitals, there were no more.

The Yamen has been cleaning and checking the streets and alleys for the past two days, and no new smallpox patients have been found.

Besides Zhou Man, he only invited Bai Shan, Bai Er, Yin You, and Major General Gong.

He said: "Major General Gong will be arriving soon. He said that he wants to thank you properly. The mortality rate of smallpox in the army is lower than that outside. The mortality rate of the medical shed you are responsible for is also the lowest."

Man Bao had not had enough sleep for two months in a row. She just wanted to sleep at this time. She sat by the stove holding the stove, without even taking off her cloak, and asked: "Has the data come out?"

"Not yet," Bai Shan answered, "We are still counting, but everyone we can find has been recorded. It will take a few more days to know the exact number. But only in Xiazhou City

The total number of people under his command should not be less than 6,000, and more than 2,000 people died."

He paused and then said: "At first, it spread too widely. It was fine in the city, but some villages were isolated. When we went there, there was no one left."

Man Bao was a little sad, and Yang Heshu felt even more sad. There were four counties in Xiazhou City, and Guo County under his jurisdiction was the most severely affected.

Bai Shan lowered his voice and said: "But I found that Shuofang County was not the one with the highest death rate. There were 6,000 infected people in Xiazhou, and at least 4,000 were in Xiazhou City, but the number of deaths in Xiazhou City was only 750.

Eight people, I am patrolling the countryside, the total death toll should not exceed 200."

Shuofang County is Guo County in Xiazhou City, and Yang Heshu is the magistrate of Shuofang County.

In other words, outside Shuofang County, less than 2,000 patients died of more than 1,000 people.

This is a mortality rate of over 50%. It was fine at first, but later the prescriptions from the Imperial Hospital were spread and the cure rate increased. This should not be the case.

Yang Heshu sat up straight.

There was silence in the room. After a while, Yin You said calmly: "Smallpox and clan annihilation are possible, but the death rate is about 50%. The court should be satisfied. I don't think they will be too sad.

It’s not like someone who is 80% or 90% dead.”

Bai Erlang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It took him a while to find his voice, "Then, let's forget it?"

Bai Shan said rationally: "If we really want to ask questions, the first person to ask should be Senior Brother Yang. Smallpox started in Shuofang County."

The fists in Yang Heshu's sleeves tightened and loosened, and then tightened again. Mrs. Cui, who had brought the ingredients, looked at him worriedly.

Bai Shan reached out and took the plate with meat. Man Bao also raised his head to look at Mrs. Cui, squeezed out a smile and asked, "How are you doing, sister-in-law?"

Ms. Cui said with a smile: "I'm very good, I'm very careful, so those acne rashes didn't leave any traces."

Man Bao nodded.

Bai Shan put the meat slices on the iron plate. The meat made a sizzling sound, and the smell of the meat brought everyone back to their thoughts. He asked Yang Heshu: "Has Senior Brother Yang written a confession?"

Yang Heshu nodded, "The portion in Shuofang County is already on the way and should arrive in the capital in two days, but the portion in Xiazhou City will have to wait until you calculate the numbers."

Bai Shan said: "My classmates and I will speed up, but now it is impossible to finish it before the end of the year."

"Yes, this year is destined to be an unfair year." Yang Heshu glanced outside and said: "The governor's office has lifted the house arrest. After the New Year, I will go back to Beijing to litigate with him, and you will go back to Beijing together.

?”

He put the governor under house arrest, but obviously the matter could not be left alone;

And Niu Cishi would not let it go like this. They must have a lawsuit to fight in front of the emperor, and the situation in Xiazhou City also requires them to make a lawsuit in front of the emperor.

Bai Shan looked at Man Bao.

Man Bao thought for a while and then nodded, "There are not many patients in other hospitals now. They should have the results in a few days. As long as there are no new patients, we can go back."

Yin You has always been a little puzzled, "Why did Senior Brother Yang put Niu Cishi under house arrest?"

Yang Heshu had an expression on his face that was difficult to express, and it was not a gentleman to talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs.

"Because he is stupid!" Major General Gong strode in from the outside, took off his cloak and threw it to his servants. He waved to the people who were about to stand up and salute, sat down on the stool by the stove, and said to Yang He: "You

Just go back to Beijing, my father has promised that he will write a letter to speak for you when the time comes. Hmm, so what if he is put under house arrest, Niu Feng? The fact that he and his family are not held accountable is because he is an official of the imperial court."

Now not only Yin You, but also Bai Shan and others couldn't help but become curious.

They arrived early and were busy on weekdays. When investigating the origin of smallpox, they accidentally learned from discussions among officials that smallpox seemed to have spread from the governor's mansion, but no one was willing to tell the details.

Other officials were still concerned about the reputation of the governor's office, but Major General Gong was not. He said: "Niufeng has a young son named Niu Kang. In September, he led people to hunt on the grassland, and ended up with a caravan from the Western Regions.

There was a conflict, and he took advantage of the strength of the crowd and robbed an Orchid."

"He brought the person back to his house and spent the whole day hanging out with the Hu Ji. For some reason, the Hu Ji had a fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The doctor who was invited thought she was acclimatized at first, so he gave her a prescription.

Fang Zi, it turned out that within two days, the person developed more than a dozen pimples, and he had a high fever. The condition was so severe that it took less than a day from the time the pimples were discovered to the person's death."

Major General Gong said: "The doctor who saw the doctor felt something was wrong, so he said she might have smallpox, so he asked the Niu family to fight her out. Niu Kang didn't know whether to live or die, and he liked the Hu Ji in his heart. He not only hugged her and cried

There was a big funeral, and all his friends came to join in the fun."

"Within two days, he himself also developed acne, and people who had been in contact with Hu Ji also developed red acne one after another. Only then did the Niu family remember what the doctor said, so they sent for a doctor while blocking the news.

." Major General Gong said bitterly: "But Niu Kang didn't know what was being said. Mingzhi's condition was different, so he went to the Chunfeng Tower for a banquet that day. Not only that, the entire Niu family did not stop him from buying, and the girls and boys,
Chapter completed!
