The six of them didn't see Yang Heshu until the sunset, so a group of people gathered together for a dinner and learned about the situation in Xiazhou.

The situation in Xiazhou is much better now. Before Yang Heshu returned to Xiazhou with supplies from the imperial court, the Niu family had to leave Xiazhou due to various rumors.

Previously, the resentment caused by the smallpox epidemic was mainly focused on the Niu family and Yang Heshu.

Needless to say, the reason for the Niu family, but Yang Heshu, the local people in Xiazhou, under the encouragement of thoughtful people, believed that if Yang Heshu hadn't sealed the city, so many people would not have died in Xiazhou.

If they could go south or east to seek medical treatment, they could live at least half longer.

Even if they know that closing the city can be the most effective way to prevent the spread of smallpox, if it really involves the lives of themselves and their loved ones, how many people can agree to closing the city without regrets?

Yang Heshu naturally knew that this point was indefensible, and he did not argue. However, after he left Xiazhou with the Dali Temple officials, the rumors in the city slowly changed direction.

Mrs. Cui moved to live in Zhuangzi outside the city, but she did not do nothing. Yang Heshu only brought one Wan Tian to Beijing, and the rest of the staff, including his own master, were left to her.

The people of Xiazhou began to remember that Yang Heshu had been on the front line to save people. Smallpox patients were isolated, and even their families had abandoned them and were unwilling to take care of them in the medical shed.

However, Mr. Yang basically has to go to the medical shed once a day, and sometimes he even goes to comfort the patients himself. It can be said that he does not care about his own safety.

Moreover, Lord Yang's wife was also infected with smallpox, and she was not sent out of the city. Although some people thought that Yang Heshu's move was too cruel, most people were moved by his selflessness.

At least Mrs. Yang did not leave the city like them, and she was not treated specially because she was the wife of the county magistrate.

In addition, Mr. Yang has been working hard to obtain relief food, medicinal materials and money from the imperial court. Not only the rich people who fell ill this time, but at least most ordinary people, the medicine used to treat their illnesses was the responsibility of the Yamen headed by Mr. Yang.

.

After everyone is cured, they can turn around and leave without paying a penny.

Of course, if it can't be cured, it will just be carried down and burned, without even the bones.

Because of these remarks, Yang Heshu's image was finally reversed, and the people in the city became less resentful towards him.

Especially ordinary people, it didn't take long for them to resent the Niu family, and they only felt gratitude and sympathy for Yang Heshu.

As for the local gentry and wealthy businessmen, after thinking for several days, Cui and his master finally followed Yang Heshu's suggestion and released the news that Yang Heshu would be transferred back to the capital, and that Niu Cishi might be demoted to Shuofang County magistrate for his meritorious service.

As soon as the news came out, not only the ordinary people, but also the gentry who had been wholeheartedly resenting Yang Heshu couldn't help but smash the cups.

It's impossible to say that they don't hate the Niu family. If it weren't for Niu Kang, they wouldn't have contracted this damn disease.

It's just that after the disease came out, Yang Heshu was at the forefront, blocking most people's way of survival, so everyone hated him so much.

but now……

The Niu family actually wants to stay in Xiazhou City.

Ordinary people don't think much about it. They just think that the powerful governor is not worthy of being an official. They don't think of anything more.

But what the gentry and wealthy businessmen were thinking was that if the Niu family still stayed in Xiazhou City, there would be who knows how many disasters would happen in the future.

Moreover, this time they not only hated Yang Heshu, but also hated the Niu family. After the epidemic, they also snatched the doctors, medicinal materials, and food that were sent to the Niu family.

There was even a landowner who, after the death of his only son, couldn't help but ask people to carry excrement and water to splash the door of Niu's house. It can be said that he offended people to death.

The Niu family is still serving as officials in Xiazhou City, are they still alive?

So before the trial in the capital, Xiazhou was in full swing.

Later, Niu Cishi was exiled, and so many assets were confiscated from his family. This was the reason why the people were angry.

Otherwise, Niu Cishi would be derelict in his duties at most. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, he would be dismissed from office and go home at most.

Imperial laws have always been more tolerant towards officials.

Yang Heshu deliberately stayed in the capital for a while, not only to ask for assistance from the imperial court, but also to let the people of Xiazhou calm down and complete these follow-up procedures.

When he is in Xiazhou, conflicts will only focus on him.

While he was away, Mrs. Cui moved to the village outside the city and stayed behind closed doors, showing her weakness to others. Not to mention that they still had manpower to operate, even if they didn't operate, people in the world sympathized with the weak, and they would eventually be diverted from their hatred.

.

Yang Heshu waited until Dali Temple made the verdict and Niu Kang set off from the capital to return to Xiazhou. It was estimated that he was about to arrive in Xiazhou before he started back.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Xiazhou, he heard someone say that Niu Kang was put in a sack and beaten after returning to Xiazhou, and within three days, the Niu family moved away from Xiazhou City.

Because after they moved out of the Governor's Mansion, they lived in a separate courtyard of their own house, but things were thrown into the courtyard all day long.

Not only did some people throw feces and smear dirt on the walls, but some people also threw some old clothes into the yard with some yellow juice smeared on them. The Niu family suspected that it was smallpox pox juice, so they were extremely scared.

Of course, the county government finally checked and found that it was not smallpox pox juice. All clothes and quilts from the smallpox period were thoroughly cleaned or burned. Except for Manbao who collected a lot of such deadly things, everyone else had a lot of them.

Hide as far away as you can, how could you stay?

Anyway, by the time Yang Heshu returned to Xiazhou, the fiercest emotions of the local people had passed. Not only the ordinary people, but also the gentry felt that if Xiazhou City was really to be handed over to Niu Cishi, it would be better to hand it over to Yang Heshu.

At least Yang Heshu will not publicly avenge himself, and with him taking care of Xiazhou, Xiazhou City should slowly improve in the next two years, right?

But there is plenty of waste to be done, and Yang Heshu is also very busy now.

"No matter what they think in their hearts now, we are still quite friendly on the surface, and my words are quite effective," Yang Heshu and Manbao Baishan said: "However, with current interests, we definitely don't have much affection, so if you go

Go up to the grassland and try to avoid any trouble, otherwise the only person I can turn to is General Gong."

Man Bao said: "As long as you have General Gong, with the military power in hand, it is equivalent to the entire Xiazhou being under your control. What are you afraid of?"

This kid is as direct as ever.

Yang Heshu smiled and asked, "Which patients do you want to examine?"

"Let's go to three groups. The group of students, the common people, the group in the middle who use not very good prescriptions, and the people in the military camp. I want to give them a consultation."

Ms. Cui and the others are easy to talk to, just post a few posts, and the patients that Manbao was treating in other hospitals will come to their door on their own initiative. The usual group...

Yang Heshu thought for a while and then said: "I'll get the list from the county government and ask Li Zheng to notify people to go to the county government for medical treatment. Otherwise, if the news spreads, too many people will come."

Man Bao nodded, "There are three, three, and four whose families are slightly better off, average, and poor."
