The symptoms on Imperial Physician Wu's booklet almost overlapped with what Shen Yu knew in his previous life, but whether it was the same as in his previous life still needed to be verified.
Imperial Physician Gu was once again called into the palace.
Shen Yu handed Imperial Physician Wu's booklet to him: "Imperial Physician Gu, take a look. Isn't the effect of the medicine produced by 'Fei Meng' very similar?"
The more Imperial Physician Gu read, the more astonished he felt. He had spent too much time studying 'Fei Meng', so he naturally knew better than anyone what the symptoms would be after being infected with it.
"This subject is willing to go to Lin County and solve the problem there." At this moment, Imperial Physician Gu finally understood why the emperor and the nobles wanted him to study such a thing. It was because only by making preparations in advance would they not be caught off guard after the incident happened.
Imperial Physician Gu traveled in a light carriage to Lin County.
"If someone really did make a move in Lin County, Your Majesty should send people to pay attention to suspicious people around Lin County." Shen Yu always felt that the person who did this might not have left Lin County. Generally, people who did this kind of thing liked to see the results of their own creation with their own eyes.
Shen Yu's guess was right. The person was still in a small county near Lin County.
At the inn.
"The matter has been settled. It's time to go back." A man in a gray robe said.
"Wait a little longer." A man with a goatee sitting opposite him said.
The man in the gray robe said anxiously: "If we wait any longer, what if it arouses suspicion?"
"We are legitimate merchants passing by. We are going to Lin County to purchase goods and sell them to other places. Even if it's a search, we have the necessary permits. What are you afraid of?" The man with the goatee was dissatisfied.
"I feel a little uneasy."
"You should change your courage. You are always worried about everything. If you were really afraid, you wouldn't have come with me in the first place."
The man with the goatee sneered. He didn't want to come with this person in the first place. He was always timid and overcautious. It would only bring him trouble.
If this person didn't say that he wanted to pursue stability, he would have made a move on the first day he came. Why would he wait until now?
People came and went outside the inn in a hurry. Everyone had a dignified expression.
He knew why. It was because Lin County, which was not far away, was suffering from the epidemic. The two places were too close, and they were worried that the epidemic in Lin County would spread here.
"What do you think if I turn this place into a living hell?"
"Don't do too much. If they find out, the punishment is small, but if you ruin the plan, I don't want to be implicated by you and lose my life for nothing." The gray-robed man's tone was threatening.
"Got it. Let's go and take a look at the situation in Lin County. What can Lin County do? If we want to do something, we should do it bigger."
The situation in Linxian was effectively suppressed.
It was indeed very serious because people kept getting sick. However, it was not that serious. Although there were many people who got sick, with the efforts of Imperial Doctor Wu and the others, although these people could not recover, they would not be in any danger in a short time.
Unlike the painful and oppressive atmosphere that outsiders had imagined, everyone in Lin County was in good spirits.
Lin County had been sealed off. People outside could not enter, and people inside could not come out. If the gray-robed man and the man with the goatee wanted to get news of Lin County, they could only go through the mouths of others.
The people outside did not know the truth. They spread the word as horrible as possible. Everyone said so, so the two of them did not doubt the authenticity of the news.
Paper could not wrap fire. Things that were not mentioned in the civilian newspaper still spread to the capital through word of mouth.
"Is the epidemic in Lin County true or false?"
"It's fake. It's not even mentioned in the civilian newspaper."
"It's not fake. The epidemic really happened in Lin County. Now, Lin County is not allowed to enter or leave."
"Where did you hear the news? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"I heard it from my relatives and traveling merchants. They travel extensively and are much more well-informed than us."
"If it's true, why is there nothing in the civilian newspaper? It can't be that the imperial court has not heard the news that we all heard, right? Is the situation this time the same as last year's in Subei? "
"It can't be. After last year's incident, no one would dare to commit crimes again, right?"
For a moment, the discussion about this matter surpassed any other matter.
The imperial court still did not give a clear answer.
Mu Xi reported this matter to Shen Yu. Now, "Ying Huo" had spread a layer of information network in Dahuan. News from all over the country could be passed to Shen Yu's ears through this network.
"Why don't you tell the people about this?" Mu Xi was puzzled.
Shen Yu did not answer. Instead, he said, "Habit is a terrible thing. In the past, when there were no civilian newspapers, the people received news from all over the country. After there were civilian newspapers, they became the people's source of news about all kinds of things in Dahuan. Now, as long as there is no news from the civilian newspaper, the people will be skeptical about the incident in Lin County."
Mu Xi thought about it and found that it was true.
"His Majesty naturally has his reasons for not doing it." If the person behind the scenes knew the truth, how could this play continue?
The news about Lin County became more and more intense. Seeing that the imperial court did not explain, the rumors became more and more outrageous.
Shen Yu could get new developments from all over the country through "Ying Huo" every day. It had to be said that the person who chose to start with Lin County made a very good move.
Lin County was far away from the capital. It took a lot of time to send news back and forth. During this time, it was very easy to do something.
"Brother is going to Lin County?"
Imperial Physician Gu was packing his luggage when Gu Huai, who had just returned home from court, walked in.
"Xiao Huai, where did you hear this news?" Imperial Physician Gu turned around.
No one knew that he was going to Lin County except for the two people in the palace. Logically speaking, Gu Huai should not have known.
"If I didn't ask, would I not know where you went after you left?" Gu Huai's eyelashes drooped. There was an indescribable feeling in his voice.
He knew that Imperial Physician Gu had been studying "Fei Meng". He had guessed this matter. He had been investigating "Fei Meng" and had some understanding of the situation in Lin County.
"How could it be?" Imperial Physician Gu put down what he was doing and walked towards Gu Huai. "Even if you didn't ask, I would tell you. You are my younger brother. I will not hide it from anyone but you."
"Brother, can you not go? It is very dangerous there."
Gu Huai lowered his voice. He suddenly felt like a young boy who was acting spoiled to him.
"Did His Majesty ask brother to go? I can go to the palace to find His Majesty and ask His Majesty to change someone else. There are so many imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. Why must brother go? "
"Xiao Huai!" Imperial Physician Gu grabbed Gu Huai's arm. "It was not His Majesty. Brother wanted to go himself. His Majesty did not agree at first."
Imperial Physician Gu pulled Gu Huai to sit down and explained in a gentle voice.
In the beginning, Shang Junlin did not agree with Imperial Physician Gu going to Lin County. The reason was simple. He needed to stay behind to look after Guijun's health. It was Imperial Physician Gu who fought for this opportunity.
He had studied "Fei Meng" for so long. In terms of understanding, no one in the imperial hospital could surpass him. If he went himself, he would have a better chance.
He also knew that Gu Huai did not allow him to go because he was worried about him. He raised a hand to pat the head of the youth who was already taller than him and comforted him: "Brother will be fine."
"I want to go with brother." Gu Huai suddenly spoke.
"No." Imperial Physician Gu refused without thinking.
"The situation in Lin County is strange. I will ask His Majesty for permission to investigate. I will not interfere with brother's decision. Brother, don't stop me, okay?"
Gu Huai was a man of his words. When he went to court the next day, he took the initiative to volunteer.
Shang Junlin was already considering suitable candidates. Gu Huai was the one he was most satisfied with. However, since Imperial Physician Gu wanted to go, he did not want to put the two brothers in danger. Therefore, he did not say anything.
"Have you thought it through?" Shang Junlin gave him a chance to change his mind.
"Yes. This subject is willing to work for Da Huan and help His Majesty." Gu Huai's attitude was firm.
"Since you have such a heart, I will fulfill your wish."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After court, Shang Junlin returned to Yuzhang Palace and told Shen Yu about what happened in court.
"It's just right. If Gu Huai goes, Imperial Physician Gu can go with his people. He cares so much about this brother that he did not hesitate to go with him. He should be able to protect him."
"Did Imperial Physician Gu tell General Gu about this?" Shen Yu went around to Shang Junlin's side and sat down.
"Gu Huai should have guessed it himself. He was originally investigating 'Fei Meng', so it's normal for him to have some understanding of the situation in Lin County."
Gu Huai's people and Shang Junlin's Hidden Dragon Guards were both investigating 'Fei Meng'. Both sides would occasionally cross paths. Shang Junlin sent the Hidden Dragon Guards to investigate 'Fei Meng' to Lin County. Gu Huai made the conclusion based on this.
"General Gu is also fine. He is the most suitable candidate. Maybe he can find some useful clues during this trip to Lin County."
As the two of them were talking, Mu Xi suddenly came in with something in her hands. "Young Master, this servant found this."
"What is it?"
Shen Yu did not take it. Instead, he looked at the thing in Mu Xi's hands. It was a piece of jade. It was not big, only about half the length of a finger. It was completely white.
"There seems to be words on it." Shen Yu said.
"Yes, the content is the same as the note from last time."
"Where did this thing come from?" Shang Junlin asked.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this servant found it when I was tidying up Young Master's clothes today."
"Clothes? Which one? "
"The one that Young Master wore outside the palace."
The clothes Shen Yu wore in the palace and outside the palace were different. If he did not leave the palace, the latter would not be useful.
"Investigate!" Shang Junlin's voice was cold. "During this period of time, if there was a chance to get close to Guijun's clothes, investigate it thoroughly!"
Shen Yu did not think that this jade was put there by the palace people. Maybe it was left outside the palace that day. He just did not know why it was only discovered today.
After he told Shang Junlin his guess, the man's face became colder. After knowing that Shen Yu's room might have been entered, he sent people to investigate inside and out. However, they did not find any clues. Now, they found something left by that person in Shen Yu's clothes.
Shang Junlin's displeasure rose to the extreme.
Yingxing Tower.
"I also gave him the jade. I was worried that he did not see it, so I asked someone to pass him a note. It was written with the characters" Dahuan ". It has been so many days. Why hasn't he come to see me? How about I go to the palace to see him in person? "
"Forget it. It is so difficult to enter the palace. It is better to think of a way to get him out. Let's go to Count North's residence. As his brother, I came from afar. I should see his family."
Count North's residence welcomed an uninvited guest. Looking at the man in white who only showed the lower half of his face, Count North seemed to see something terrible. He opened his eyes wide and was almost speechless.
"Who are you?"
