After the medication, Zhou Zhifu's fever subsided.
When the fever subsides, the brain becomes better, and the whole is sober, and he struggles to say that he wants to see the empress.
Yuan Qingling told him about the epidemic situation after he lay down and asked him to pay attention to it.
Zhou Zhifu was also surprised when he heard this, "Weichen will send people to the medical department every day to ask officials of the medical department to report that the situation they report every day has been relatively normal. Although the epidemic has occurred, it is no more serious than in previous years. It is also sufficient, how could it suddenly become serious?"
"Because it happens every year and it has not become popular on a large scale, it has not been paid attention to in time." Yuan Qingling said.
"Weichen immediately called Master Li from the Medical Department to ask about the situation." Zhou Zhifu stood up.
"I already went to him yesterday and asked him to count the number of patients and deaths, but he doesn't know where to find us. You should send someone to report the situation directly to the government office."
"Yes, Weichen obeys the order!"
Zhou Zhifu immediately sent people out.
The man in blue is in charge of the post office, and has already counted the number of sick people in the office within half an hour.
Eighteen people in the government office showed symptoms of the epidemic. Two of them were seriously ill and had been bedridden at home.
Zhou Zhifu didn't know that so many people in the government office were sick, and he was shocked when he heard the report from the steward.
Mr. Li from the Medical Department rushed around for a day and one night, but did not dare to rest. Mr. Li from the Medical Department came in person, so he had to give an explanation.
Moreover, he has always believed that the epidemic is not serious, just like in previous years.
But when he took the people from the medical office to various towns and the various medical centers learned about the situation, he discovered that the cold at this time was much more serious than he thought.
At first, it was to explain to the bureau, but when he discovered that his condition was serious, he also became anxious.
However, it is impossible to count the number of people in such a short period of time. You can only get a rough idea of the situation.
When he returned to the medical office, he found that the government officials were waiting, saying that the prefect asked him to go there immediately and report the situation.
Master Li thought that he should also inform the prefect that the master of the bureau had arrived at Wugui Mansion, so he immediately rode his horse to the mansion.
When I arrived at the Houya, I didn't expect that Mr. Shuguan was already here, and the granddaughter of Mr. Shuguan even sat on the chair in the room, while the prefect stood up and sat in the guest seat next to him.
He was slightly startled, and went to see Grandma Yuan first, and then stepped forward to bow down to the prefect.
Yuan Qing said: "Don't be polite, you can talk about the situation!"
Mrs. Li ignored her and just watched the report from the prefect, "The next official, at the order of the master of the office, has ran all the towns and several major medical clinics from yesterday to now, and found that this year's epidemic..."
Seeing that his attitude was wrong, Zhou Zhifu immediately scowled and interrupted him, "It is the empress empress who asked you something, and you should report it to the empress empress!"
Master Li was taken aback, "Queen Empress?"
He glanced at Yuan Qingling subconsciously, his head banged, and his face was completely white.
In panic, he knelt down with a thud, his lips trembled, "Weichen, weichen didn't know it was the empress who came here, offended the empress, the weichen should die, please confess the crime!"
Yuan Qing said: "Get up and talk, what's the situation now? Tell me what you have investigated."
Master Li shivered and said: "If you return to Niang Niang, the Weichen investigation found that this time the epidemic is indeed much more serious than in previous years. There are people who have died of the disease in all towns. Among them, Huandong Town has the largest number of deaths, with twelve deaths. Individuals died of a cold, but as for the number of patients, we have not counted them yet."
He said while wiping the sweat from his forehead. The empress must be furious if the number has not been counted.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yuan Qing Ling said: "If the number of patients is not counted, continue to count and get attention. The emperor and Leng Shoufu should arrive in Wugui Mansion today. Epidemic plan."
