"Oh, by the way, the patient Hua Tuo and the others brought today...how is it? Are there any other cases in the city?"
Zhang Chao gestured for Cao Cao and others to go inside.
"My lord, the patient is locked in a cell, please follow me!"
"In the city, I sent people to check everywhere, and there is no such case! I also sent people to block the news of smallpox as soon as possible. If it is not leaked, it will not cause panic! Please rest assured, my lord."
Hearing this, Cao Cao was relieved, and looked satisfied with Zhang Chaoyue.
Under the guidance of the other party, a group of people came to the cell.
At this moment, outside the cell, a group of jailers were guarding the cell with sharp knives, and not a single fly could fly out.
Seeing Zhang Chao and the others coming, they quickly saluted.
"I've seen adults!"
"Open the door! My lord wants to go in!"
"Yes! Your lord!"
crunch...
The iron gate was opened.
"Brother, this...will it be okay if I go in?"
"I'll go in and have a look myself! If you haven't developed antibodies yet, stay outside!"
Xia Houzhe patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and stepped in without any hesitation!
Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and the others were all in admiration!
"My lord, this Yuanyi...is really a brave man of high skill!"
Cao Cao looked proud, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"That's right! I don't even know whose good brother he is! He doesn't have a lot of brushes, so he can be my Cao Cao's brother?"
Several people curled their lips when they heard this.
While flattering, don't you forget to brag about yourself?Are you using it so loudly?Are you afraid that Yuan Yi won't hear you?
In the prison cell, Xia Houzhe walked up to the patient and looked him over carefully.
This is a peasant woman in her 40s, surnamed Liang.
After inquiring about what had happened, I immediately understood what was going on!
"Okay! Come with me, you're fine!"
Xia Houzhe led the patient out of the cell. Seeing this, Cao Cao and the others all took a few steps back in unison, with panic deep in their eyes.
"Brother, you... what's going on?"
"Oh! She, it's not smallpox! Her family has dozens of cows, and many of them have vaccinia recently!"
"So she was very worried. She was infected when she went to investigate the cause! It's not a big problem!"
Xia Houzhe explained with a relaxed expression.
Cao Cao and the others breathed a sigh of relief!
"Huh... It's okay! Fortunately, it's not smallpox! Otherwise, it will be a big trouble!"
"Look at how frightened you are! There are ready-made vaccinia here, why don't you send someone to collect it and vaccinate a batch first? To avoid the hassle of getting smallpox in the future!"
Xia Houzhe smiled contemptuously, then turned to look at the patient again.
"Aunt Liang, don't be afraid! This is Cao Cao, governor of Yanzhou, Mr. Cao! He...he is very gentle!"
"It's not a bad thing for you to get sick this time, at least you won't be infected with smallpox again in your lifetime! You can go back later!"
Xia Houzhe praised Cao Cao out of conscience, the guy in front of him... is a guy who kills people in his dreams.
Where is the word gentle?
The patient knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Because of the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, his mouth is still crying:
"Thank you! Thank you, my lords! If it wasn't for my lord to see a doctor for me, I... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive!"
Cao Cao lifted him up and looked at him with a smile on his face.
Of course, he would not miss such a good opportunity to create love for the people!
You know... aunt's mouth is the most broken!Within three days of turning back, the neighbors in the neighborhood knew that Cao Cao loved the people like a son.
"Please hurry up! We officials will not kill people by mistake! If this happens, I will find a way to cure you!"
"It's just... according to what my virtuous brother said, I may need to go to your cattle farm to collect some cowpox later! This is a good thing to prevent smallpox! I wonder if you would like it?"
Mrs. Liang agreed without hesitation: "I am willing! My lord, you can just collect it! I will let my son help you collect it!"
As soon as the words fell, a young man in his 20s with second-rate status rushed in from outside the county office.
Not even the twenty or so guards of the county government could stop it!
They were all knocked down by him with a stick.
Dian Wei was about to turn around to fight, but Xia Houzhe held him back.
Because he saw the anxious look on the other person's face.
"No! He has no murderous intent, only anger!"
After breaking through the barrier, the young man rushed straight to the cell.
When he saw Mrs. Liang, the young man suddenly became pleasantly surprised!A sprint knelt at Liang's feet.
"Mother! My son is not filial! He failed to protect you and caused you to be arrested by the government!"
Looking at the person coming, Liang's face turned pale with shock!He yelled at the young man.
"Son! Why are you so reckless? This is the county government, how can you let you intrude! And do you think adults will wrong good people?"
"This is Lord Inspector Cao! He specially cleared my name! Hurry up and kowtow!"
After shouting, Mrs. Liang knelt down to Cao Cao again!Keep kowtow begging.
"Lord Cao! This is my son, Liang Xi! He also missed his mother so much that he contradicted you! I...I am willing to take the place for my son!"
Cao Cao's complexion was gloomy, it is not a good thing to ignore the law and break into the county government!
This is provoking the government!
And the main county government hasn't stopped it... Isn't this stepping on the horse embarrassing me?
Just when Cao Cao was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Xia Houzhe's interested expression.
Cao Cao poked him curiously and gave him a questioning look.
'What's the matter, brother?What's wrong with this kid? '
Chapter 441 Another Talent Discovered, Liang Xi
'no problem!But... you are lucky, you can discover talents when you come to cure a disease! '
Xia Houzhe glanced back, and Cao Cao immediately became excited.
Although I don't know what kind of character it is, but it's not too bad to be called a talent by the other party!
Cao Cao didn't know the background of the other party, but Xia Houzhe did!
This kid is one of the six governors of Cao Wei.
These six assassins are Liu Fu, Sima Lang, Liang Xi, Zhang Ji, Wen Hui, and Jia Kui!
Among the six, Liang Xi has the most merit and ability!
He is capable of writing and martial arts, especially his political ability is very strong, and the state is under his control!
Even the area of Xianbei and Saibei is very stable under his management!
Liang Xi on the ground looked at Cao Cao and the others in a daze, and kowtowed a few times!
"My lord, I was the one who broke into the county office. I would like to plead guilty! I hope my mother will not be involved!"
"My mother...she is not smallpox! She has never been anywhere except herding cattle! How did she get this thing! I hope you will learn from me!"
Xia Houzhe ignored his words, and waved his hands pretending to be majestic, with a cold tone.
"Come here, bring Mrs. Liang in for me first, get her something to eat first, don't starve to death in the yamen! I want to deal with this kid!"
"Meng Gao, help me watch!"
After finishing speaking, he winked at Zhang Chao, who immediately understood and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, two guards walked out behind them, and carefully led Mrs. Liang out.
Liang Xi wanted to resist, but Dian Wei put his hand on his shoulder, unable to move!
This strong man like a mountain made him feel desperate!
Not a class at all!Killing him is no different from killing an ant!
With a cold face, Xia Houzhe looked down at Liang Xi who was kneeling on the ground.
"Hmph! The genius doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing next to me are! Both of them have been judged to have smallpox. What else can you say?"
"You know the destructive power of smallpox! Are you not afraid that your mother will infect you? Are you not afraid of death? How dare you break into the county government office and rob the prison?"
Seeing Xia Houzhe speak, Cao Cao and the others fell silent and stared at them as if watching a play.
They knew that this was the other party testing Liang Xi's character!
Cao Cao also wanted to know how this person was!
If the ability is good and the character is good, how much trouble can it be to break into the county government office?
Hearing this, Liang Xi raised his head with a sad face, the light in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"My lord! My mother gave birth to me and raised me for so many years, how can I despise her because of her illness?"
"Although I, Liang Xi, have no great skills! But I still know the saying that a son does not dislike his mother's ugliness! If I am born alive, if I can't even fulfill my filial piety, how can I be worthy of my mother's kindness in nurturing?"
Cao Cao and the others admired Liang Xi's words.
Xia Houzhe shook his robe and looked at him with murderous intent.
"Oh? Are you so filial? I don't believe that there are people in the world who are willing to die for filial piety!"
"Your mother has already confirmed that it is smallpox, we must kill it! If... you are willing to use your life instead, we can consider whether to let her go for the time being and keep her in the cell to live for a few more days!"
Hearing this, Liang Xi nodded instantly, with tears in his eyes, and agreed without hesitation!
"I am willing! Even if it is only for a few days, I am willing!"
Xia Houzhe looked playful: "Really? You can do it for a few days? Why? You are still young! How can you give up your life for an old woman when you have a great age?"
Hearing this, Liang Xi glared at Xia Houzhe!There is anger on the face!
"My mother...she is really not smallpox!"
"Although it can only be changed for a few days, maybe her illness will not be cured in these few days! This way I can survive! I have done my filial piety!"
Xia Houzhe snorted coldly: "If that's the case, then use your life to pay for it!"
Chong…
After finishing speaking, he pulled out the Qingzhi sword and swung it up!
Liang Xi closed his eyes without any resistance, allowing him to attack.
But... After waiting for five or six seconds, I only felt a cold sword on my neck, but it didn't fall down for a long time.
Liang Xi opened his eyes suspiciously.
I saw a group of people looking at him with half-smiles, as if they were very satisfied.
This made him a little confused!
Suddenly, with a flick of the long sword, a strand of hair fell from Liang Xi's body.
"Okay! Replace the head with hair! You are already dead!"
