After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 147 It's still uncertain who will play whom

"No," Yu Shen shook his head, "It's just... Your Excellency has done something beyond my expectations."

When Yuan Qing wanted to speak again, the conversation inside had ended. Many officials took their tasks and left, leaving only three people in the room.

Jiang Qisheng came out and said to Yuan Qing, "Come with me."

Yuan Qing followed the rules and bowed to the three adults without looking up when he entered the room.

Jiang Qisheng walked up to her and asked, "Have you heard about the sudden outbreak of strange diseases in various places?"

"I have heard a little about it." Yuan Qing said.

"I have a mission for you now. According to reports from spies, a strange disease has also appeared outside the capital, and it is spreading aggressively. After discussion, we have decided to send you to the village to investigate in person. If we don't have enough manpower, just ask directly and I will do my best to meet your needs."

There were also strange diseases outside the capital, which Yuan Qing had not expected.

Gong Chan paid close attention to the news from the government day and night, but she didn't expect that it would happen right under her nose.

She had originally been thinking about getting an assignment to go out and investigate with Mu Xiaoxiao, but she didn't expect that a ready-made opportunity would fall into her hands at this time.

Yuan Qing glanced at Chen Xingwei out of the corner of his eye.

She could guess what this person was thinking.

A strange disease suddenly appeared, and the danger of it was unknown. No one dared to deal with it rashly, but the mission could not be avoided.

If Chen Xingwei also deliberately guided the matter, it would come as no surprise that this "good thing" would eventually fall on Gong Bin, with whom he had just made a grudge.

If it fails in the end, no one can blame Chen Xingwei.

If it was done, as the recommender, he could easily take most of the credit from Gong Bin.

He won't suffer any loss on either side.

It seems that she has to take this job, otherwise she would let down the good intentions of the temple minister.

She pretended to be embarrassed, but did not dare to disobey the order and took on the "difficult" task.

Chen Xingwei felt happy when he saw Gong Bin being so obedient.

So what if he has someone protecting him? Can he get past the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple?

No matter how arrogant a tiger is, once it falls into the hands of a hunter, it will have its teeth pulled out and be slaughtered.

What's more, this is just an unformed kitten, far from a ferocious tiger. He dared to go against him right after entering the Dali Temple. He really doesn't know his own weight!

He was thinking happily in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face.

Chen Xingwei thought he had hidden it well, but Tang He, who had been an official for more than 30 years, could see through his thoughts.

He sat at the top, staring deeply at the young man in the hall, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's still unclear who will play whom.

Yuan Qing went back to Lu's house and packed his clothes. When he went out, he saw Yu Shen waiting outside the door.

He pinched the strap of the bag, looking a little nervous.

"Are you nervous?" Yuan Qing looked back at him. "If you are so scared, why did you offer to come along?"

Yu Shen suppressed his fear and pretended to be calm, saying, "Your Excellency, this trip will be extremely dangerous. I am here with you. Even if I cannot help you investigate the case, I can still take notes."

That’s right. If she was the only one listening and taking notes, she would be overwhelmed.

When he arrived at the village in Yifeng County where the strange disease occurred, Yuan Qing was stunned by the scene before him.

Before she came, she had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought that a person with this disease would look like this.

Their faces were all covered with red flesh sores, some of which had even broken open and oozing thick yellow fluid. The torture of illness for many days had made them unable to speak, and they could only lie on the ground and groan softly.

The doctors, all with their faces covered with scarves, were busy moving between the makeshift medical tents.

When the accompanying doctor saw strangers coming to the village entrance, he hurried over to drive them away.

Yuan Qing showed his ID card in time, "Don't worry, little brother, we are from the government, and we are ordered to visit the patient."

Unexpectedly, the doctor glared at him unkindly and said, "No one is allowed to enter this place, even if you are from the government."

Yuan Qing sensitively sensed something was wrong here.

"But if you let us into the village, we can report the matter to the court so that the court can have a cure."

At first the doctor looked very conflicted, but he still let Yuan Qing and Yu Shen in and said to them, "Since you are also wholeheartedly serving the people, I will not stop you. But you must remember, don't say you are from the government here. Just say you are a traveling doctor from the people."

This kind of words should not be something he said casually to deceive people.

Yuan Qing kept the doctor's warning in mind.

Fortunately, they were not wearing official uniforms today, otherwise they would have to make an extra trip.

Yu Shen didn't understand and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the government? Do the people here have a grudge against the government?"

Yuan Qing turned around to stop him from talking, and whispered, "Watch more and talk less, we'll know once we get in. Put your notebook away first and follow my instructions."

Yu Shen nodded heavily and quickly pursed his lips.

The doctor walked a few steps ahead, but suddenly felt uneasy, so he turned back and walked closely with Yuan Qing and the other man.

It's better to keep him by your side. With him watching over you, I'm sure these two won't make any mistakes.

Yuan Qing didn't care too much about it and just let him go.

She followed the medical boy closely, taking in everything that happened along the way and silently writing it down.
