Anning County is just a small county outside Chang'an City, the small one can not be smaller, the Tang Dynasty has been founded for so many years, this small county town seems to have never appeared in everyone's sight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is too low-key, so low-key that although he is next to the capital Chang'an, everyone has never thought of him.

There have been no big people here, nothing big has happened, everything here seems to be peaceful, as his name suggests, peaceful.

But it's such a small county, but something happened.

Lao Zhangtou is a tofu seller in Anning County, his daily work is to get up early and jump a load of tofu along the street to sell, his tofu is very delicious, so generally after walking along the long street, the tofu he picked can basically be disposed of.

The people here like to eat the tofu of Lao Zhangtou's family.

It was the height of summer, Lao Zhangtou got up earlier every morning, the genius was bright, he had to get up and pick up tofu to sell along the street, on this day, his business was surprisingly good, a whole street was less than half gone, and only a little was sold.

Thinking that he could go home and rest as soon as possible, Lao Zhangtou became more and more excited, and naturally shouted louder: "Sell tofu...... Selling tofu ......"

After Lao Zhangtou shouted a few times in such a loud voice, several people who heard the sound walked out.

"Old Zhangtou, how much is left?" The person who stopped Lao Zhangtou was a middle-aged woman, named Ah Hua's sister-in-law, about forty years old, a widow in Anning County, and often men made fun of her, and even Lao Zhangtou sometimes made a few jokes.

"There's not much left, if Sister-in-law Ah Hua wants it, I'll sell it to you cheaply."

Ah Hua's sister-in-law is not good-looking, everyone often jokes with her naturally because of her widow status, isn't it that some people say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, everyone thinks that even if it is not good-looking, but as long as she flirts with the widow, it is a very ambiguous thing.

Sister-in-law Ah Hua saw Lao Zhangtou smiling at herself, and she somewhat understood what he meant, and said, "Why don't you ask for money, how about I exchange my tofu for your tofu?" ”

She was clearly not upset either.

Lao Zhangtou laughed, and when he was about to make a joke, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell down with a plop, Sister-in-law Ah Hua didn't think much about it at first, just smiled: "Yo, I said Lao Zhangtou, your current concentration is not good......"

After saying a few words, I saw Lao Zhangtou rolling uncomfortably on the ground, and then I found that it was not good, so I hurriedly called out the people in the neighborhood, everyone knew each other on weekdays, and the relationship was good, so I came out to surround Lao Zhangtou and take a look, but they couldn't see anything, I don't know who shouted: "Take him to see the doctor." ”

Then, everyone suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly carried Lao Zhangtou to the only medical center in Anning County.

The medical hall is not big, but the doctor inside is very respected, he showed Lao Zhangtou, touched his beard, and said: "It's just a cold, it's okay, take my medicine, and promise to be fine for a few days." ”

The doctor prescribed medicine to Lao Zhangtou, and Lao Zhangtou also felt a little better at this time, so he took the medicine and went back, thinking that after taking this medicine, he would really be better in a few days.

But things didn't go the way he thought.

A day later, Lao Zhangtou's head was very hot, and the whole person was weak and abnormally weak.

The next day, Lao Zhang's head was suddenly covered with red spots all over his body, and it was itchy and uncomfortable.

On the third day, Lao Zhangtou died, and his family then noticed similar symptoms.

Lao Zhangtou died, and everyone found out the news because they hadn't heard Lao Zhangtou's shouting for several days.

After inquiring, I learned that he was dead, and when he died, he was covered in red spots.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to this, everyone just thought, well, Lao Zhangtou is so pitiful, he died when he got to a wind chill, his life is too bad, sad, sad.

Everyone thinks that Lao Zhangtou's life is not good, so many people go to see him off for the last time when Lao Zhangtou is buried, after all, everyone has also eaten his tofu for so many years.

But when they came to Lao Zhangtou's house and found that Lao Zhangtou's family members were also sick, they suddenly realized, and then scattered, and soon, the whole Anning County spread: Lao Zhangtou had an infectious disease, and whoever bought his tofu quickly threw it away.

When the news spread, more and more people in Anning County followed the disease, the post house was a little overcrowded, and the doctor treated the patient every day, but his medical skills did not seem to be very good, until he himself was sick, he suddenly realized: smallpox, this is smallpox.

----------------------------

The incident of smallpox in Anning County soon spread to the capital Chang'an, and Li Zhi was shocked after hearing it, Li Zhi was very aware of the harm of smallpox, and if he did not stop it in time, he would destroy the country.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zhi immediately sent people to Anning County to block the entire Anning County and not allow anyone to leave Anning County.

As long as people don't come out, smallpox will only spread in Anning County, although it is a bit cruel to the normal people inside, but this is the only thing Li Zhi can do.

In addition to locking down Anning County, anyone who contracted smallpox was to be isolated from the rest of the people, and anything they used had to be burned.

Soon, there was one more smallpox alley in Anning County.

Smallpox Alley was full of smallpox-infected people, and every day food was brought to them, but each time the food was far away, and they needed to come by themselves, and not only that, but the other people in Anning County were also full of hostility towards these people, and they were afraid that these people would spread the disease to them.

Anning County, which was originally low-key and peaceful, and everyone occasionally joked about it, suddenly became a hell on earth, and people became cold to each other, and people who were still good neighbors now only want them to die, because they have smallpox, and when they die, smallpox will no longer be contagious.

Human nature becomes worthless at this time, as if everything before was fake, it was all hypocrisy, and the arrival of smallpox tore everything apart.

Then, all the ugliness was exposed, as well as all kinds of helplessness and grief.

The rest of the wind was very hot, but at this time, the people of Anning County did not even dare to touch the wind, because they were afraid that the wind would carry the smallpox virus.

The people of Anning County were miserable, and they were even more afraid that the imperial court would suddenly abandon them one day.

A strong man breaks his wrist.

If things continue to deteriorate, the court will definitely sacrifice them in exchange for more peace.

And that's exactly what happened.

When smallpox was rampant in Anning County and people were dying every day, the people of Chang'an City finally couldn't sit still, and they also felt fear, although there was a certain distance in Anning County, and many people chose to go to other places to take shelter temporarily.

More people put pressure on the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would slaughter Anning County and kill all those who contracted smallpox, otherwise Chang'an City would not be stable.

While the people were putting pressure on the imperial court, some princes saw an opportunity again, and they pointed all the fingers at Li Zhi's accession to the throne.
