Win Guangji came back before Mo Yu. The first thing he did when he returned was to move out of the city and build a thatched hut on the hill east of Mayi City. The house is not big and very basic, and when the wind blows, it is colder inside than outside. The fire was burning very strongly, and the smoke gathered on the thatched roof, and Ying Guangji sat tremblingly in a fur coat.

A cup of hot tea was transferred from the left hand to the right hand, and the palm of the hand was still icy after being warmed for a long time, and the tea was also cold: "Ah Da brought the copper kettle with hot water, it was really cold." ”

Ah Da hurriedly filled the copper kettle with hot water and handed it to Ying Guangji. Ying Guangji used a roll of fur fur, wrapped the copper kettle tightly in his body, and let out a long breath. Su Ren sat opposite Ying Guangji, his white bear skin cloak was much warmer than Ying Guangji's fur, these white bears growing in the cold regions of the north were born to carry the cold, and their fur was warmer than anything man-made.

After taking a sip of hot water and putting his two hands on the flame to bake, Su Ren asked, "What did you find?" ”

Ying Guangji smiled: "I didn't find a problem, can I come here to blow the cold wind?" I advise you to move out too, Mayi City can't live in. ”

"Who is it?"

Ying Guangji didn't answer Su Ren's question, but just looked at Su Ren in surprise, with an incredulous expression: "You know everything?" ”

"Thirty-five people have died so far, and it's strange that I don't know about it anymore! Song Yi and Feng Xin said that in less than tomorrow, this number will become forty. ”

"So strict? Then why is the city still so quiet, is it possible that you want everyone to die? ”

Su Ren shook his head: "Ma Yi was built by me with great painstaking efforts, I can't just finish it without doing anything, I still have a way to deal with the epidemic at this point, various measures have been arranged, and half a month will pass at the latest." ”

Ying Guangji nodded: "I almost forgot, you are also a miracle doctor, no worse than the one in Chang'an City, can you tell me what you do, if you meet in the future, you will not be ruined." ”

"Then who is your first sù me? The Mo family is still a Xiongnu, or someone else. ”

Ying Guangji smiled: "What do you think?" ”

"Although the Mo family is ruthless, they can't do this kind of unconscionable thing, I guess it is the probability of the Huns is greater, because recently there are a lot of Hun merchants from the north in the city, and they are all selling cattle and sheep, and Hawking found cattle and sheep corpses in several wells in the city."

Ying Guangji nodded: "What else?" ”

"Also, I guess it's the idea of Yi Zhixie and the Bank of China, right? The eunuch will change his personality if he has no offspring, and if he is timid, he will be afraid of anything, and if he is vicious, he will dare to use any method. ”

Ying Guangji shook his head: "You guessed wrong this time, this matter is indeed done by the Huns, but Shan Yu seems to know." ”

"Oh? Shan Yu is also involved? Why did he do this, he didn't want food? ”

Win Guangji said: "People have found other sources of food, at least they won't need your food for a short time, and I'll send you a message, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Department is gathering people, Yi Zhiyi is also responding, a qiē is very secretive, and most of the people in the entire Xiongnu know it except Yu Dan." ”

"What do they want to do? Attack Yanmen Pass or Mayi City? ”

Win Guangji said: "The Huns in that place in Yanmen Pass will not attack, not to mention that your Han Emperor has heavy troops in Yanmen Pass, and Mayi is different, as long as the river in the north is blocked, it is impossible to ask for aid, and there should be a lot of grain stored in the granary you built outside Mayi City, right?" With this grain, the Huns will be able to survive this winter. ”

"It's really for food! Okay, let him try! ”

Win Guangjile: "Don't be strong, as far as the defensive strength of Ma Yi is concerned, it will be broken by others without waiting for the reinforcements of the defenders of Yanmen Pass, or you go and ask Mo Yu, the Mo family has a lot of experience in defending the city and defense, and may be able to help you defend the city." ”

"Where is he?"

Win Guangji pointed out the door, Su Ren followed Win Guangji's fingers and looked over, the cold wind outside the door was very strong, blowing through the treetops and making a whirring sound, which sounded like a ghost crying wolf. A strong cold wind blew in from outside the door, passing over the flames in front of Su Ren. The wind was cold, and the flames were blown and then fell so hard that they were almost blown out.

Ah Da and Ah Er immediately walked to the door and blocked the gate with their generous bodies. Su Ren's vision was closed, so he could only turn his head back: "He went back?" ”

"What to go back! Just in the opposite mountain, like me, people also knew about it, and they didn't want to stay in Mayi and wait for death, and they knew it earlier than me, and the thatched hut was built more tightly than me, and there was also a grain reserve, so it was no problem to live there for half a year. Ying Guangji lowered his body and leaned in front of Su Ren: "You're really right, a few days ago, I really found out where a few people went to him, they should be there to deliver news, their whereabouts are very secretive, if it weren't for Ah San, I might not have found out." ”

"Are they all Mayi merchants?"

Ying Guangji nodded: "There are three people in total, Nangong Gui, the shopkeeper of the Divine Medicine Material Shop, Wu Mar, a leather dealer, and Dai Zongli, a porcelain merchant of your Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, didn't expect it?" ”

Su Ren shook his head and sighed: "Over the years, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has developed too fast, and the businessmen in it are uneven, and it is time to clean up. ”

Ying Guangji waved his hand: "I'm not helping you, I'm just worried that the grain was robbed by the Huns, and now you and the Huns have torn their faces, and the rest of the grain will be counted for me." ”

Su Ren glared at him: "You are not afraid of dying!" He got up and walked out of the thatched hut of Ying Guangji. Behind him, there was the sound of Ying Guangji's unbridled laughter.

The busiest people in Mayi City were led by Song Yi, and it was not easy to treat the epidemic, and because they were on the front line of the disease, several apprentices and helpers had fallen ill these days. Hearing this news, Song Yi immediately went over to check, but fortunately, he lay down because of overwork, if he was really infected with the epidemic, the Holy Medical Hall that had just been established would be gone.

Stephen Hawking led people around the streets all day, and at the slightest cry he would rush over. The sick or the dead were taken away, and then the house of the family was sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and no one was allowed to break the order. Then rode away from the crowd on the black wind, and whoever dared to say more was whipped down.

In addition to these, Hawking's other task is to monitor the merchants in the city, as long as he sees the sneaky catch, there is no reason and no reason. And there is Shi Bao with dozens of guards in civilian clothes hidden in the crowd, at this time dare anyone who is ready to demagogue, before he can exit a short sword will be placed on his waist, as long as he says a word, that person will die quietly, and will be dragged away by Hawking's people again.

The epidemic has been prevalent for more than half a month, and the people in Mayi City still don't know what happened, who would have thought that the epidemic would be prevalent in the winter, according to their simple thinking, they all feel that this guy may have offended the Mayi City Lord's Mansion.

Hawking's swagger, Song Yi and Feng Xin's secrets. As long as there are no dead people, they will all be sent to the place outside the city that has been prepared for a long time. It was arranged accordingly according to Su Ren's requirements. Not only is the place secret, but it is also heavily guarded. Except for a few people who were allowed to enter and leave without the slightest problem, no one else was allowed to come closer.

Song Yi was wearing a thick dress, and he also had a thick cotton mask on his mouth, and he frowned after checking on a few patients who had just been delivered. Feng Xin glanced at Song Yi, and the two of them walked out one after the other. Feng Xin said: "Why has it changed again, a few people got typhoid fever a few days ago, what happened to these people?" ”

Feng Xin gritted his teeth and creaked: "It seems that there are still some places in the city that have not been found, and General Huo should be asked to search carefully in the place where these people were found." ”

Feng Xin nodded: "It can only be like this, seeing that the condition of these people is not very serious, it should be not long ago, it also shows that there are still people in the city who continue to harm people, and I don't know how long this matter can be kept, once those people in the city know the truth, I am worried about ......"

"Don't worry, you have to trust Mr. Su, he can definitely think of a way, we just need to do our part."

The epidemic was mainly concentrated in the west of the city, as if it had been discussed, the west and east of the city were separated by only a stone road that was not wide, and not a single dead person was found in the east of the city. As a result, the merchants, who sensed the danger, moved to the east of the city one after another, leaving the west of the city to the porters and their subordinates. Although he didn't dare to say it, he always doubted it in his heart, Cui Jiuming was one of the first people to move to the east of the city.

Cui Jiuming didn't get any definite news either, it wasn't that Su Ren was unwilling to sue him, because he was the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and once he knew the truth, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce would soon know. The Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce knows, and the entire Mayi will also know.

Seeing Su Ren enter the door, Cui Jiuming immediately greeted him: "Mr. Su, good my Mr. Su, what happened?" Hawking killed three more people on the street today, don't you care? If this continues, will this business still be done? ”

Su Ren didn't speak, bypassing Cui Jiuming and walking into the house. Cui Jiuming hurriedly followed, and his mouth didn't stop: "Why don't you even believe me, I promise that no one will say anything, and if you say it, you will hit five thunderstorms in the sky!" ”

Su Ren still didn't speak, Cui Jiuming jumped to his feet in a hurry, the fat on his stomach flickered, and he was dizzy. Su Ren sighed: "Okay, sit down, I'll tell you the truth, remember not to tell anyone." ”

Cui Jiuming nodded again and again, pulled a chair and sat next to Su Ren. Su Ren thought for a while: "The truth is this, there are Hun spies in the city, it is said that the Huns are preparing to attack Mayi, the purpose is the grain we are in the granary outside the city, and Hawking is all spies." ”

"What! Aren't the Huns doing business with us? They ......"

Su Ren waved his hand to signal Cui Jiuming to be quiet: "Don't worry, there will be no danger for the time being, I am also trying to find a way to contact their Shan Yu, if we can't negotiate, we have to withdraw from Mayi!" ”

"These untrustworthy things, in this case, let's leave now, and we won't give them a grain of food."
