After everyone fell asleep, Bai Lufeng, Wang Yizhu, and He Xiaotian put on their night clothes and flew out of the Seven Strings Inn, and their target was the legendary general. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The general comes from the imperial court, and he is in a high position, and the local officials must be hospitable, and they dare not be sloppy. Then the general's residence may only be two, either in the Yunnan Prefecture or in the house of the Mansion Yin. Bai Lufeng and Wang Yizhu went to the state capital, and He Xiaotian went to the house of Lord Yin Zhu Youcai. The Yunnan Prefecture is located in the east of Dali, and the house of Yin is located in the north of the city.

Speaking of Zhu Youcai, almost everyone in Yunnan knows about it. Poor families often take Zhu Youcai as a role model for educating their children, "You see Lord Zhu, born poor, through his own efforts to gain fame, and now he has become a parent official." Zhu Youcai is a native of Yunnan, the family has been farming for generations, and his father is looking forward to the glorious lintel, which is named "talented". This Zhu Youcai is not stupid, he participated in the imperial examination five times in a row, and finally won the examination, and later got the help of an important member of Beijing to become a parent official in Yunnan.

Yunnan has always been wealthy, and the territory is vast, and the state capital is more magnificent than elsewhere. On the gate, "Yunnan Prefecture" is a few big characters, vigorous and powerful, from the hands of today's saints. On both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right, there are two stone lions squatting, the gate is closed, and there are four guards standing at the door. In addition to these four guards, there were two teams of thirty-two men each, all wearing armor and swords, and holding torches aloft outside the state capital.

"The state capital is heavily guarded, be careful in everything!" Bai Lufeng reminded Wang Yizhu in his ear. Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, the two quietly climbed over the wall.

There are three floors inside and outside the Yunnan Prefecture, the first floor is the lobby, which is used for handling official business, people's affairs, handling cases, etc., the second floor is used for rest, and the third floor is the largest, and the house is also the most luxurious, which is used to receive distinguished guests. Whenever an important guest comes, it will be accommodated here.

Coming to the third floor, the two carefully landed on the roof, looking for the figure of the general. At this time, two loud laughs caught the attention of the two. If the general was in the state capital, who would dare to laugh so unscrupulously except him. Following the sound, the two stopped on the roof of the third floor on the right corner. The two did not uncover the tiles to observe, but put their ears close to the roof to inquire about the situation in the room.

"Lord Zhu is so polite! This general was ordered to go to Dali to do business, how could he accept such a heavy gift. It seems that the person who spoke was the general sent by the imperial court, and Zhu Youcai was also in this room at this moment.

"When the general came here, Weichen was careless, lest the hospitality was not good, the work was not effective, and the little caution was not respectful. I hope the general will laugh at it. "This person must be Zhu Youcai, there is no doubt. Zhu Youcai is holding a "little heart" to honor this general from the imperial court.

"In that case, the general should be respectful rather than obey." The general is no longer postponed.

"Tomorrow will burn those who are plagued, and the general can arrange everything." Zhu Youcai asked.

"Master Zhu don't have to worry, one day they will appear. If they don't show up tomorrow and burn again in three days, I don't believe they won't show up. With so many ordinary people dying for them, how can they sit idly by? "Who are they referring to in the mouth of the great general? It seems that the general is trying to use the life and death of these ordinary people to lure the snake out of the hole.

"What the general said is very true. It's just that ten batches have been burned so far, with a total of more than 1,200 people, and the people in Dali City have died and fled, and there is not much left. What if they don't show up? Zhu Youcai asked.

"It's okay, the people of Dali City are burned down, let's continue to look for the surrounding people until they appear." I didn't expect the dignified general of the court and the official of one of the parents to do such a thing in secret.

Bai Lufeng clenched his hands into fists, and Wang Yizhu knew that he was quite angry at this time. A breeze blew, and out of nowhere, a wild bird flew over the roof.

"Who?!" The general is quite cautious! As soon as the words fell, they heard the sound of opening the door, and Bai Lufeng and Wang Yizhu left quickly.

Back at the Qixian Inn, He Xiaotian had already sat in the room and waited for half a cup of tea, "Lord Yin Zhu is not at home, so I think it should be in the state capital." Everything is normal in Zhu's mansion, and there is no suspicion. However, there is an inn more than 200 meters outside Zhu's mansion, where many people in black live. These people, even when resting, wore black masks and spoke very little. is like a mute, very similar to the person who attacked Miss Wang in Xiangzhou for the first time. Wang Yizhu has long felt strange that since Xiangzhou, these people have never appeared again, and they turned out to be camped in Dali.

"There is indeed a conspiracy behind the plague, and the true face of this great general has not yet been seen, and they are trying to lure the snake out of the hole by burning people." Bai Lufeng paused, "Madam, do you think the general is looking for the Wu Clan?" ”

"It's possible, the common people rumored that the plague was spread by the Wu people, but they couldn't say why. How could the witch clan use witchcraft to harm the common people for no reason? The Wu people have existed in Yunnan for hundreds of years and have always been at peace with the common people. The only plausible reason is that these rumors were spread by the imperial court in order to lure the Wu clan into appearing. He Xiaotian continued.

If it's really as the two said, then why didn't the Wu Clan show up? What is the purpose of the imperial court going to such great lengths to find the Wu Clan? My father once said that the Wu clan was powerful, and when the common people were suffering, why did they choose to hide?

"These are just our guesses. For now, we can only step up the investigation, find the root cause of the poisoning of the common people, and save more lives. If no one is sick, there is no one to burn, and then we have to see what this general will do? Wang Yizhu said. Bai Lufeng and He Xiaotian immediately agreed.

The next day, early in the morning, there was crying in the streets. When I opened the window, I saw that several soldiers were dragging an elderly man into the prisoner car. Behind the old man, the juniors cried non-stop. At this time, the door of the Seven Strings Inn suddenly opened, and He Laoqi ran forward, knelt in front of the prisoner car and cried, "Mother, the child is not filial and can't save you." "Old Seven, it's okay. I'm old, it doesn't matter if I'm burned to death, but it's painful for you. The old lady seemed to be at ease.

"Go away, go away!" A soldier stepped forward, kicked He Laoqi away, and pulled the prisoner cart away.

He Laoqi ran back to the inn like crazy, packed his bags and prepared to leave, "I can't stay in this ghost place anymore!" ”

Seeing Wang Yizhu looking at him, He Laoqi turned his back and wiped away his tears, "Let the girl see the joke!" ”

"Your mother is sick with the plague?" Wang Yizhu asked. As soon as she finished asking, she felt that her question was particularly idiotic, if there was no plague, why did those soldiers take the old man away.

"Hmm!" He Laoqi's eyes were red, and he nodded, "A few days ago, I only said that I was a little unwell, and my brothers and I only thought that we were old and in poor health, but I didn't expect to suffer from a damn plague." I thought that the old lady would be able to die right, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. ”
