The imperial city has been a little unpeaceful recently, and the sound of Feng Wumo being slapped in the face seems to have spread throughout the entire gale, so the major court officials are all in danger, and they are afraid that if they say the wrong word, the black gauze hat on their heads will be lost. In comparison, a few who are sick at home are much more comfortable.

Of course, it is not only those who feel that the situation is not right, and it is not only those who are in important positions who are beginning to endanger themselves, but also the ordinary people who are gale have gradually tasted something. The Son of Heaven is killing people now, they have also heard of it, the eunuch and the Imperial Forest Army have been killed silently, and the murderer has not been found yet, if the murderer is unhappy one day, how can it be good to kill these little people to vent their anger? Even if they don't talk about it, when they are prepared for danger in times of peace and think too much, they can't help but mention the rash on their body!

There is a family, relatives in the palace as a deserter, heard that several major officials have taken leave for this, so they secretly sent someone to deliver a gossip to the family, but this group of seven aunts and eight aunts did not have a door on their mouths, and they passed it around, and they actually passed this little red rash into a plague, or a plague from the court, which made the people swallow this breath, someone wanted to target the gale court, but they pulled these little people into the war, it was not the superiors.

So, the sick people spontaneously united, beat the drum of grievances, and squeezed into the county government one by one.

The petty official was out of line, and he reported it to He Hao, the secretary of Dali Temple, He Hao only felt that this hot potato was not only hot, it was simply explosives, who took the bombing, so He Hao also reported it to Feng Wumo, and pity the old emperor, who almost rolled his eyes and died directly.

There were a group of ministers kneeling down again, and He Hao bore the brunt of it, followed by a doctor who couldn't find an antidote for five days.

Feng Wumo wanted to throw it away, but he felt that it was useless to throw it away, so he could only hold his forehead and ask: "How is the murder case investigated?" ”

He Hao's voice trembled: "Your Majesty... The minister found a gold thread from the straw mat covering the corpse, and determined that the murderer should be a person who was either rich or noble, and the time of the crime should be Chinese New Year's Eve ugly, listening to the testimony of the nearby beater, there were people in and out of the general's mansion when it was ugly, and the minister had doubts and went to ask. ”

Feng Wumo said: "You mean Gu Yanhuo's new house?" ”

He Hao wiped the sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and Feng Wumo motioned for him to continue.

"The reply is a woman, claiming to be General Gu's master, and boldly admitting that she is indeed ugly when she came back, she went to see a friend who had just entered Beijing, although this woman replied frankly, but what she said was four or two thousand pounds, very suspicious..."

Feng Wumo stretched out his hand to stop his words: "Do you think this matter is related to Gu Yanhuo?" ”

"Actually, it's just conjecture, but after all, all the existing evidence happens to point to General Gu, so the minister has to doubt it."

Feng Wumo squinted his eyes, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking: "Gu Yanhuo has his back to the Gu Mansion, and now he is called back to Beijing by me, and he is also an official and a knight, I treat him well, why does he bother to kill?" And the murderer and the poisoner should be the same people, Gu Yanhuo couldn't test the poison himself? ”

"The minister also has the same doubts as His Majesty."

"You said that the woman went to meet a friend who had just entered Beijing, but you can check it."

He Hao said: "Checked, the person's surname is Xu, from the south of the Yangtze River, it should be the Beijing that advanced in the middle of the moon, and the minister also asked the soldiers guarding the city gate, and one of them said that the most impressive thing is that a group of Xiliang people entered the city, saying that they came to run business, and they repeatedly checked them many times before they were put in." ”

Feng Wumo looked stunned, and muttered: "Xiliang people, continue to investigate, keep an eye on that group of people!" As for Gu Yanhuo, he also stared at it, but don't be overly suspicious, this matter is not simple. ”

Feng Wumo has a feeling that it is not very good, although Dafeng and Xiliang signed an armistice agreement, but the relationship has been tense since the time when the emperor was seriously ill, and it only improved slightly when he succeeded to the throne, but there are few Xiliang people who come to Gale to run business. And the grievances with Xiliang Kingdom are all old things more than ten years ago, thinking of the old news that I don't know if it's true or not, Feng Wuin's heart suddenly mentioned his throat, I'm afraid this matter will never be so simple!

The collapse of the royal family often starts with the people, thinking of the sudden increase in patients, Feng Wumo said: "What's going on with this disease?" Doesn't that mean it's not contagious? ”

The imperial doctor said: "It's true that it won't be contagious, the minister has been in contact with several adults so many times, and he hasn't suffered from this disease!" ”

"Then why do so many people get this disease! It is also said to be a plague. ”

"This..."

He Hao said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it may be someone who poisoned him... Got his hands on it again. ”

The imperial doctor retorted: "Lord He, there are at least hundreds of people who are sick this time, how did he poison him unknowingly!" Although Lord Zheng of the Imperial Forest Army took leave, he never stopped patrolling at night, can the poisoner really avoid the patrolling people and poison hundreds of people? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent again.

He Hao thought for a while and said, "When the eleven adults were poisoned, it was because they ate the imperial meal, so could it be that these hundreds of people ate the same thing this time." ”

The imperial doctor continued to refute: "I'm afraid it's not realistic for hundreds of people to eat the same thing. ”

Feng Wumo slapped the table and said categorically: "No matter how you get sick, if it is really contagious, it will be over if it spreads to the rest of the world." ”

He Hao looked at Feng Wumo's face devastated by the years: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

"Spread my will, seal the city immediately, and if there is any violation, kill the chickens and monkeys, and kill the decided!"

As soon as the city was closed, the city gate was tightly closed, and the military department drew a small number of people to guard in front of the city gate, telling the people that the current imperial city could not be left or entered. Now, those who don't get sick feel that they can't live, the epidemic is very scary, they are with these people who have the plague, they will die sooner or later, but they don't want to get the epidemic!! They don't want to die!

So they ran around the streets, hoping to find a way to live together, or just to say something cursed to someone together, hoping that the person would really hear and take care of their life and death.

Gu Mansion, Gu Yusheng was noisy by the chaotic sound on the street, and Shangguan Yunyang was sitting on the edge of her bed reading the military book, and frowned slightly when she saw her wake up.

Gu Yusheng is seriously ill these days, unlike the rest of the Gu Mansion, this rash has been used to it for a long time, and occasionally it doesn't feel itchy, let it go, except for being easy to get tired, it is not to the point of death.

But Gu Yusheng was really dying, and the daily decoction and tonic medicine were sent in like flowing water, and Gu Yusheng drank all the orders in his stomach, but his body was getting thinner and thinner, and only skin and bones were left. Except for the time when I drank medicine, I was called up by my two brothers, and the rest of the time I was basically asleep.

At first, he was forced to cultivate, but then he became more and more sick, and this forced became a rare sobriety, Shangguan Yunyang took pity on this little girl, but he couldn't do it, Mr. said, let it be, don't touch her for the time being.

Gu Yusheng rubbed her eyes and wanted to sit up, Shangguan Yunyang's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly put a soft cushion behind her, and the little girl said glutinously: "Brother, it's so noisy outside!" ”

Shangguan Yunyang waved his hand, and with a cold face, he beckoned the little female envoy outside and asked, "What's the matter, it's so noisy." ”

Le'er lowered his head and frowned and said: "It's the people who are a little restless, many people suffer from the same disease as several brothers and sisters, this is spread by falsehood, and it is said to be an epidemic, presumably it has reached the ears of the officials, so the officials issued an order to close the city, and now the people who have not yet been infected are making trouble on the streets." ”

Shangguan Yunyang nodded, Le'er retreated, and the man looked at Gu Yusheng again: "You don't have to worry about these things, if you are still sleepy, just sleep for a while, and I will ask you to eat at night." ”

Gu Yusheng opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Shangguan Yunyang said: "What's wrong?" What is there to want? ”

She actually really wanted to ask Gu Yanhuo how he was, what he was doing, and when he would be able to come back, but isn't it good to ask like this, after enduring it for so many days, maybe he will come back if he endures it again.

So Gu Yusheng changed the topic.

"I miss the fox."

"Who is the fox?"

Gu Yusheng gestured: "It's the person who saved me when I fell into the river, I bought a mask at the time, and I was originally going to give it to the big brother, but when it happened suddenly, I gave the fox's one to the little brother, and I don't know if he is good or not." ”

Shangguan Yunyang knew that what she said must be Rong Zhao, and he roughly thought about it in his heart, and said: "Don't think about this, go to sleep, if you want to see him, you will always see him." ”

"Hmm." Gu Yusheng responded, but it was only a comfort.
