Chapter 891: Don't hesitate to betray the old master
Just as Li Chengfeng was stirring up the storm in Shenjing, in the distant Taiyang, a plague broke out again without warning.
Early in the morning, the east gate of Taiyang City was opened early, and one by one carriages came out of the city gate, and the guards hid far away, as if avoiding ghosts and gods, and they didn't even dare to look here.
On top of the carriage sat a coachman who was tightly wrapped and had only a pair of eyes exposed, and behind the carriage was a flatbed cart with a mountain of corpses piled up, all piled up in all directions, without rules and without dignity.
When they died, not only did they not get a coffin, a cemetery, or even a shroud, but they could only be pulled by horse-drawn carriages one by one early in the morning to be buried in a huge mass grave dug three miles away from Taiyang City.
Almost no one knows why the plague, which had been suppressed, broke out suddenly and violently, and those patients who were supposed to be well quickly became ill at this time, and some even vomited and diarrhea in just one day, and even blistered and pus, and died of rotten stench.
The fierceness of such a terrifying plague even exceeded the plague spread by the previous disease, and the people in Taiyang City were panicked for a while, and the people were crazy to escape.
The city is rapidly transforming into a terrifying ghost town at a rate visible to the naked eye!
"How is this going to be good? How is this going to be good!?"
Taishou Li Tian walked back and forth in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, his expression was anxious and frightened, he had heard about the situation outside, but he didn't even have the courage to go out and take a look with his own eyes.
"Master, you have something to say!!" Li Tian suddenly stopped, stomped his feet and looked at Ji Chen, who was standing with his hands tied on the side, and shouted loudly.
Ji Chen lowered his head, his expression was also full of pain, anger and unwillingness.
As a person concerned, he could vaguely guess what this sudden plague was all about......
It seems that since the monster disappeared, this plague has suddenly begun to erupt!
He was thinking...... I can catch demons and make a contribution, but now it's good, I didn't catch a fish, and I got fishy!
Why is his fate so bad, why is God treating him so unfairly?
When Ji Chen was shouting with grief and indignation in his heart, he suddenly found an obese figure stomping in front of him, his fingers almost poking into his eyes, he came back to his senses, and Li Tian's shouts in his ears became clearer and clearer.
"Speak, Master, what can I do now?"
"Why don't we flee quickly! The plague has broken out in this city, and more than a thousand people have died in one day! If it drags on any longer, all the people in the city will die in a few days!!"
Hearing the word escape, Ji Chen was immediately shocked, and he arched his hand and said, "Don't be an adult, don't do it!!"
Li Tian said angrily: "Are you just sitting here and waiting to die!!"
Ji Chen said: "My lord, if you abandon the city and flee, there will be no place for adults in the sky! Not only will the prince not be able to protect you, even if the adults want to take refuge in the four princes, the four princes will not be able to protect you!"
Li Tianbei came from it, sat on the ground with his ass, and cried: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, isn't it heaven going to kill me?"
Saying that, he said sadly: "Lao Tzu can't live, don't even think about living!!"
"Someone, someone!!" Li Tian jumped to his feet and roared loudly.
Thanks to the fact that Taiyang City was rectified by the prince, the administrative power of the entire officialdom has been greatly enhanced, and the deterrent and cohesion left by the prince have not yet dissipated, otherwise the prestige and urine of Li Tian will be guarded by the ether, and the officials of Taiyang City have run out at this time!
Soon a subordinate came in, Li Tian waved his arm and roared: "Order, seal Taiyang City, no one is allowed to run!!"
This person was startled, he hurriedly glanced at Ji Chen on the side cautiously, and saw that he didn't speak, so he turned around and ran down.
Ji Chen hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll go with you!"
Ji Chen hurriedly found an opportunity to run out by himself, he didn't want to stay in the Taishou Mansion for a moment, although the safest place at the moment was this Taishou Mansion.
But staying there, Ji Chen always felt like he was in a coffin.
The current Taiyang has obviously become a dead place, including himself, and he has also fallen into it, in a dilemma!
Staying here is obviously a dead end, even if they are not infected by the plague, all the people in this city are dead, and Li Tian will be held accountable, and they will not be able to get out of it.
But if you run away, the responsibility is even greater! Dereliction of duty, disregard for human life, abandonment of the city, all of which are grave crimes of beheading!
This is really a desperate situation!
Ji Chen's mood was very heavy, he looked up at the sky, he only felt that although the world was big, there was no place for himself, a place to stand, he wanted to leave Li Tian, but he didn't know where to go!
He finally climbed to this position, if he left Li Tian alone like this, not only would all his reputation be ruined, but everything would have to start from scratch......
This is tantamount to destroying Ji Chen's political life!
Ji Chen's footsteps moved heavily, and he just walked to the corner of the street, when he suddenly saw a person standing in front of him, he looked up, but saw this person dressed in black, with his hands behind his back, and he looked himself up and down.
Ji Chen's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that this person must not be from Taiyang City.
First, he has been rooted here for several years, and he knows all the officials and businessmen in Taiyang City, and secondly, he ...... Almost everyone in Taiyang City at the moment can see fear and confusion in their eyes. Only the eyes of the man in front of him were not afraid, but scrutinized.
Who is this person?
The only thing Ji Chen can be sure of is that this person is an official, at least a relevant person, and besides, this person is here for himself, otherwise he would not look at himself like this.
Why is the other party at this time...... Running for yourself?
No, the most important thing is, who is interested in themselves, why should they come to themselves? If there is malicious intent, you don't have to look at yourself so much!
First of all, the crown prince can rule out that he has just left, and if he wants to use himself to attract himself, then the most likely thing at the moment is ......
Ji Chen was originally a person who dared to think and do, and when he dared to take a few errands to catch monsters, he could see that this person was bold!
Ji Chen tidied up his clothes, stepped forward and bowed deeply to the other party, and said, "Ji Chen, please ask Your Highness the Fourth Highness!"
This person was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he heard Ji Chen's words, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he blurted out in shock: "How do you know that the old man is a member of the Fourth Highness?"
Ji Chen smiled slightly and said: "At this time, those who dare to enter Taiyang and are interested in Taiyang, except for those who come to ask people for guilt, are the people of the crown prince or the fourth prince." If you had taken it to the next question, you would have already done it, so why should you look at it so much? And when the prince was in Taiyang, he had the honor to follow him for a while, and if the prince wanted to recruit him, he would have recruited him a long time ago, so why wait for today? Therefore, Your Excellency can only be the person of the Four Princes!"
The middle-aged man was full of shock, he stared at Ji Chen and nodded slowly: "Yes, the Fourth Highness is fine." Come with the old man, this is not the place to talk!"
Ji Chen's heart was excited, he realized that the time had come for him to change his fate!
Even, he had already guessed what the fourth prince came here at this time and came to him for!
Without him, let him betray Li Tian, and then let the prince take the blame!
And now the way to betray Li Tian and put the prince on his back a super big black cauldron...... There is only one!
