Chapter 216 Lead by example
Since he already knew that Qin Shou was Prince Duan's man, he didn't want to break up with him openly, but he also wanted Qin Shou to come up with an effective prescription as soon as possible, so he could only come up with this solution.
Qin Shou hadn't recovered yet: "Your Highness Prince Yi, didn't I just say that we don't need to go to the epidemic area? The situation is 90% certain. It's dangerous there, we really can't go there."
"How can I prescribe the right medicine if I don't go to the epidemic area to personally understand the people's situation?" Zhou Chang sneered, "And don't worry, Dean Qin, Prince Yi's Mansion is near West City, we'll be there in a while, it's not far. As long as Dean Qin sees the patient, prescribes the medicine, and then picks up your son back home, isn't that perfect?"
Qin Shou was confused. Prince Yi seemed like a completely different person. He opened his mouth to say something but didn't know how to start.
Zhou Chang had already leaned against the wall of the car, his hands folded in his pockets. "If Dean Qin has any more questions, feel free to ask. When we get to the epidemic area, there will be so many people around that some things will be difficult to say."
Qin Shou's heart was beating fast, and he felt that something was wrong, but the more it was at this moment, the more he could not speak easily.
Zhou Chang narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox: "Master Qin, don't worry, we are now on the same page, and the proposal just now is still valid."
Qin Shou thought he was fooled, but Zhou Chang kept pulling him and made him even more confused.
Zhou Chang said no more and began to close his eyes and rest.
After a short while, the smoke of burning mugwort gradually drifted in from outside the carriage.
As the smoke grew thicker, the carriage gradually slowed down.
Finally, they stopped at the shouts of the soldiers in front.
Zhou Chang sat still, only to hear the thin monkey in front of him shouting, "Get out of the way. This is the carriage of His Royal Highness Prince Yi and the head of the Imperial Hospital, Lord Qin, coming to inspect the situation. Why won't you let us pass?"
I didn't hear what the person in front said.
The carriage never moved.
Qin Shou couldn't sit still. "Your Highness Prince Yi, do you really want to go into the epidemic area? You absolutely can't do that. I'm doing this for your sake."
"Not only me, but Dean Qin, you too will go." Zhou Chang said as he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
The end of the street not far away was blocked by a wooden fence. Behind the fence was a deserted street with two rows of low, uneven houses, and burning wormwood at intervals on both sides of the street.
The view was blocked by the carriage in front, and I could only see that there seemed to be soldiers with swords guarding the place, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Let's get off the carriage here and go in and take a look." Zhou Chang couldn't wait to jump off the carriage first.
Qin Shou wanted to stop him from behind, but before he could stretch out his hand halfway, Zhou Chang had already stood up and got out of the carriage. Qin Shou had no choice but to follow him down.
Is it possible that a prince could kidnap his son in broad daylight?
Qin Shou shook his head, which was almost a paste, and felt panicky. He was more worried about his own safety than his son.
Zhou Chang strode forward, observing the surroundings as he walked.
In front of the epidemic area, there were temporary sheds on both sides of the wooden fence, where officers and soldiers took turns guarding. Because the weather was cold, most soldiers either hid in the sheds to avoid the cold or rested with a cup of hot tea.
Just as she passed by, a guard who seemed to be in charge of the place ran over.
The guarding general obviously did not know Zhou Chang, but an adjutant following him pointed at Qin Shou.
The guard general stepped forward to pay his respects and said to Qin Shou, "Your Excellency Qin, why are you here in person?"
Qin Shou stood beside Zhou Chang, covering his nose with one hand, and introduced Zhou Chang with the other hand: "Why don't you come and see His Royal Highness Prince Yi? I am here with His Royal Highness Prince Yi to inspect the blockade of the epidemic area."
"Ah..." The guard general was startled and knelt on one knee, "Your humble servant, Patrol Captain Cui Bian, pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Yi."
"Ahem... No need to be polite." Zhou Chang was choked by the smoke from the mugwort. While coughing, he caught sight of two familiar figures from the corner of his eyes and asked, "Are these all from the City Patrol?"
"Yes." Cui Bian stood up and replied, "The Patrol Office is responsible for the outer perimeter, the Pestilence Hospital is responsible for the inner perimeter, and the government servants are responsible for the internal and external coordination."
Zhou Chang glanced at the two familiar faces again, and calmly ordered Cui Bian: "I want to go into the epidemic area to investigate the situation. You send a team to accompany me. Just wait over there."
Cui Bian followed Zhou Chang's gaze and looked back. He saw about ten people resting with hot tea near the makeshift shed. He agreed directly, "Yes."
After Zhou Chang finished speaking, he was about to walk inside.
Qin Shou stopped him from behind and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, although this is just the periphery, it is still dangerous. You can't go in like this. You are a precious person, you should think twice, think twice."
"It is Lord Qin who should think twice..." Zhou Chang felt more and more disgusted with Qin Shou.
"Your Highness Prince Yi, please think twice." Qin Shou took root under his feet and was unwilling to move forward even a step.
"I must go in and take a look. Of course, Dean Qin must go in as well. Otherwise, how can we prescribe the medicine?" Zhou Chang suppressed the urge to grab Qin Shou's collar.
In her previous life, she was a person who was "happy" twice in a row. At that time, she was lying alone in a rental house with no one to take care of her, but she managed to survive.
And this time, even if she didn't want to go in, Prince Yi was already eager to try.
Regardless of the dimension of time and space, the principle is the same. To prevent and control the epidemic, how can we come up with effective countermeasures if we don't personally understand the situation on the ground?
But Zhou Chang wanted to lead by example, but he also had to be careful and looked behind him: "Mr. Zhong has never been in good health, don't go in, just ask the doctor at the plague hospital about the supply of medicinal materials here."
"Ahem..." Zhong Yuyi was choked by the smoke from the mugwort and kept coughing. "I want to go in and take a look. Xinghuafang is next to this street, but the road has been closed for the past few days, so I don't know what's going on inside."
Zhou Chang then remembered that Prince Yi had a medicine shop in Xinghuafang, which was also sealed in the epidemic area. Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said, "Mr. Zhong, don't go in. I will go over and take a look for you."
As soon as Zhou Chang moved, the others followed.
Only Qin Shou stood still, so Gao Yuan had to go up and give him a push.
Qin Shou was pushed and had to follow Zhou Chang and cover his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves.
Zhou Chang walked in front and turned to the thin monkey and asked, "I don't remember the names of those two people, but I don't think I made a mistake."
The city patrol captain Cui Bianzheng ran over and mobilized all the people around the shed.
The thin monkey had noticed it a long time ago and laughed, "Your Majesty is not mistaken, it's Yizi Hutong, and the two people's surnames are Jin and Jiang."
A pair of deer eyes appeared in front of Zhou Chang's eyes. He wondered what happened to Mei Sheng later.
I didn't expect to meet the "acquaintances" from the city patrol that night here. It would be unreasonable not to give them some trouble.
Cui Bian quickly ran back with his men, followed by two middle-aged medical officers.
