Seeing his reaction, Sun Wen and Mr. Zhang didn't understand.

"The prefect of Xuzhou is trying to hide the matter!"

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry."

Sun Wen whispered.

Mr. Zhang looked at Sun Wen and lowered his voice, "Do you have any ideas?"

Someone not far away saw them talking together and came over.

Sun Wen had no choice but to distance himself from Mr. Zhang, but he still took advantage of the opportunity to give Mr. Zhang a look to reassure him.

The village was surrounded and areas were divided inside.

One side is where the sick villagers stay, and the other side is where the villagers who are not sick stay.

Mr. Zhang sighed, he couldn't care about this now.

He turned and returned to his original house.

Wangchen was also wrapped in white cloth and was diagnosing and treating patients.

"What's going on outside?"

Seeing his friend come in, Wangchen subconsciously asked.

When she noticed her friend's ugly expression, she realized something and put down the medicinal ingredients she was grinding.

Walking to his friend, Wangchen looked out the door.

Men dressed as officials could be vaguely seen pushing the villagers.

"People from the government?"

"Um."

Mr. Zhang responded, "The situation is not very good."

"Where are Sun Wen and the others?"

"I was also detained. I can't go back for a while."

Wangchen was not surprised by Mr. Zhang's answer.

She turned around and continued to grind the medicinal materials, "That's all we can do."

"Um."

Mr. Zhang let out a deep breath.

The prefect of Xuzhou thought that by surrounding the village, the plague could be prevented from spreading. It was ridiculous.

Half of the people in this village were infected with the plague. Before the disease fell, there were many people traveling to and from the village or entering the county town.

The more you conceal it, the more serious the consequences will be.

Now, he can only place his hope on Sun Wen and Su Leyun.

I hope Sun Wen can pass the news back.

At night, Sun Wen came out of the house quietly.

He whistled at a certain place.

Soon, a homing pigeon flew over.

Sun Wen stuffed the written note into the bamboo tube. At the moment he released the homing pigeon, someone who heard the noise ran over.

But all I saw was fallen leaves, and no one was there.

The man scratched his head and muttered: "Did you hear that wrong?"

After that, he turned and left.

Sun Wen ran down from the tree and looked into the air. He could no longer see the homing pigeon flying far away.

He stood for a moment, then turned and left.

I received the news from Sun Wen in the early morning of the next day.

The homing pigeon flew directly into Chaohua Xiaozhu and woke up the green willows keeping watch.

Cuiliu stepped forward, took out the note from the bamboo tube, and released the homing pigeon.

Cuiliu's face changed drastically when he saw the words written on it.

Not caring about the time, she hurriedly ran into the house.

"Miss, no, something happened!"

Su Leyun was awakened by Cuiliu's voice, but she also knew that Cuiliu would not wake her up for no reason.

After taking the note handed over by Cuiliu, Su Leyun's face turned ugly.

Lian Xin ran into the house without even putting on half of her sleeves.

"What's wrong?"

Grandma Zhang was also awakened.

"I'm going to see my grandpa."

Su Leyun quickly stood up, and with Cui Liu and Lian Xin waiting on him, he changed his clothes and hurried out.

Sun's study room is brightly lit.

Sun Shao, Sun Changping, and Su Ye were all standing in the study.

"Yun'er, is this news true?"

Sun Shao shook the note held between his fingers and asked.

Sun Changping and Su Ye looked at it with heavy expressions, having the same problem as Sun Shao.

Su Leyun nodded, "This is the news from Sun Wen. He is now with Mr. Zhang."

"Such big news, the prefect of Xuzhou..."

Sun Shao did not say further, "Yun'er, come into the palace with me."

This matter cannot be delayed.

If it is true, once the plague is allowed to spread, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Grandpa, I'll go too."

Su Ye glanced at Su Leyun worriedly. He was afraid that his sister would go to the palace to face the saint. If she was nervous and made a mistake, he could still help her.

Sun Shao glanced at Su Ye and said, "Okay, you will come with us. Changping, you will be in charge of the house."

"Yes, father."

Sun Changping agreed.

Soon, the three of them got on their horses and went to the palace.

If the situation is urgent, taking a carriage will only waste time. Although Su Leyun had been to the racecourse several times, Su Ye was still worried if she was asked to ride a horse alone, so the brother and sister sat on the same horse.

In this way, he can rush to the palace as soon as possible.

After passing the palace gate, you can no longer ride a horse.

Sun Shao walked in front, walking very fast. Su Ye was afraid that Su Leyun wouldn't be able to keep up, so he slowed down.

I kept going slowly and hurriedly, but I didn't fall too far behind.

As early as when Sun Shao entered the palace, someone had spread the word.

Eunuch Wan hesitated again and again, but still reported it in person to Emperor Jianwen who had gone to bed.

Although he didn't know what urgent matter there was that warranted such a rush, Eunuch Wan also knew Sun Shao's temper. If it wasn't really an emergency, he wouldn't have to be so anxious.

Emperor Jianwen was woken up by Eunuch Wan, with a somewhat angry look on his face.

After knowing the situation, he calmed down a little.

"Change my clothes."

Under the service of the palace maid, Emperor Jianwen changed his clothes and went to the imperial study.

In the past few days, Emperor Jianwen had been busy for a long time with matters concerning King An and the Turks.

I finally had time to rest for a while, but things happened again.

Sun Shao handed the note forward and asked Su Leyun to explain a few words to Emperor Jianwen.

"Your Majesty, please make your decision early."

"What is the name of Mr. Zhang you are talking about?"

Emperor Jianwen asked a strange question.

Su Leyun was stunned for a moment, and at Sun Shao's signal, he replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang's name is Zhang Youliang."

"Zhang Youliang..."

Emperor Jianwen muttered thoughtfully, with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Eunuch Wan, please pass on the order and send people to Xuzhou to investigate strictly."

"yes."

Eunuch Wan responded and left.

But I felt a little panicked. This situation was very similar to fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, the plague in the capital came from the neighboring towns.

Is it possible that we are going to make the same mistake again?

Emperor Jianwen's order was quickly issued.

But what is faster than the order is the speed at which the plague spreads.

In just one night, plague was discovered in several villages.

Even in the city of Xuzhou, the situation was discovered.

The prefect of Xuzhou hurriedly left the city with his family and gold and silver treasures. Before he had gone a few miles, he was caught by people sent by the imperial court.

The capital received the news, and the people from Imperial Hospital were also sent out by Emperor Jianwen.

Su Leyun really couldn't worry about his master and Mr. Zhang, so he quietly left the capital with Lian Xin and Cui Liu.

It’s less than half an hour away from Xuzhou.

Lian Xin put down the curtain and looked at Su Leyun, who was resting with her eyes closed, along with Cui Liu.

There was worry and uneasiness in his eyes.

"If you are afraid, you can go back."

Su Leyun opened her eyes. She didn't blame Lian Xin and Cuiliu when she said this, but she meant it sincerely.

She was confident that she could protect them, but it was normal for Lian Xin and Cui Liu to be uneasy.
