A quarter of an hour later.

When Mao Xuming led a team of elite soldiers to kick open the innermost room in a certain courtyard, it was already empty, leaving the air with bursts of medicinal herbs that had not yet dispersed.

"Damn! This dog thief slipped away pretty fast! ”

Mao Xuming kicked the poor door again, turned around and shouted, "Search for me!" The dog thief must not have run far yet......"

Before the words fell, a soldier suddenly hurriedly ran in front of Mao Xuming from outside, and saluted: "General, Captain Yang said that he found something in the back mountain of Dongsheng Village, and it may be ......."

The soldier raised his head slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "It is related to the sudden outbreak of smallpox epidemic in Changzhou." ”

Dongsheng Village was the first village where smallpox patients appeared, and it is also the place where patients are isolated today!

Mao Xuming was shocked, pondered for a moment, called his lieutenant, and told him to continue to lead people to search for the dog thief and make sure to find him out, then followed the soldier and left in a hurry.

……

Just as Mao Xuming was striding away, on the street outside the courtyard, an inconspicuous carriage drove slowly by.

The person sitting in the driver's seat is not the man in the yard who used to be the little servant!

"Lang Jun, the guy surnamed Mao is gone."

The little guy glanced at Mao Xuming's figure walking away quickly, and sneered: "What a fool, we are in front of him, he didn't notice it at all, just this brain, he can't catch us Langjun in ten lifetimes!" ”

"Heh, the more confident people are in themselves, the more they can't imagine that the person they want to arrest did not flee in a panic at this time, and was still dangling in front of their eyes."

This carriage has not been used for a long time, and the man in the carriage glanced at the dust floating in the air with disgust, the corners of his mouth pursed into a sharp arc, and said: "That's it, we shouldn't continue to stay outside for a long time, and immediately go to the next stronghold." ”

"Alas, Lang Jun."

This carriage was originally intended for emergency use, and it has not been used since they entered Changzhou, and it is estimated that it has accumulated a layer of dust.

Lang Jun couldn't even stand a drop of rain on his clothes before, but now he is afraid of killing people.

After the little guy answered, he remembered the culprit who caused them to be so embarrassed, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Those white-eyed wolves! When I begged Lang Jun at the beginning, I almost knelt down and knocked to Lang Jun three times.

Now that the Wei Hou had just promised them some benefits, they had forgotten that the Wei Hou had locked them up in this city like brutes before! In a hurry, he wagged his tail and pounced, and betrayed Lang Jun!

Hmph, then Wei Hou really dares to come in tomorrow! ”

As soon as they came out, they saw a newly posted notice on the street, and immediately understood how the people from the government had come to them. The notice clearly wrote that the turmoil in Changzhou during these days was because of traitors, and it also said that when the Marquis of Wei came in tomorrow, it would be the day to completely clean up the traitor's nest!

If it is found that there is a person who is in the same league as the adulterer, he shall be immediately put into slavery, and all property shall be confiscated, and three generations shall not be allowed to return to the good people.

However, if that person was only momentarily bewitched by the traitor, and had already lost his way before Wei Hou thoroughly investigated, and could provide information about the traitor to the government, Wei Hou would not only not do anything about his previous actions other than killing innocent people, but also be rewarded!

When he saw the notice, his eyes darkened with anger, and he immediately tore it down and threw it to the ground.

It's just that it's useless, he ripped off one, and there are countless more in this Changzhou city.

That Wei Hou Ming came to settle accounts after the autumn, this counterattack came vigorously, if it weren't for his family's Lang Jun's clever calculation, they are now afraid that it will be difficult to fly with their wings!

"Heh, Wei Yuan's guy has hated me so much that his teeth itch."

The man in the carriage snorted.

He had already guessed that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and he didn't expect it to be in this situation.

He originally thought that Wei Yuan would launch a counterattack against him, and he would also pounce on him like a mad lion in a state of impotence and rage.

Seeing a fallen leaf floating in from the window, the man frowned, threw the book in his hand over, which covered the fallen leaf, and said coldly: "Tianxi, hurry up." ”

"Alas!" Tianxi hurriedly responded, a little worried: "But Lang Jun, is our second stronghold safe?" ”

"I bought the yard in the name of a farmer in the village, and no one knows about it except us."

The man said coldly.

However, the yard was in a village outside the city, and the man felt like killing people when he thought of the dirty peasants in the village, and the duck feces and cow dung that were everywhere.

Wei Yuan!

He still underestimated this man, and even he could not imagine that the man had come up with a way to defend against smallpox.

But, heh, this world is really interesting.

If the people who compete with him for this world are some fragile straw bales, he will not be interested.

"Wei Yuan," the man opened his thin lips lightly and muttered, "I'll let you go this time, and one day, we will definitely meet." ”

But......

The man looked out the window at the lively scene of the lifeless and people's rush to announce the past 20 days, and a touch of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

When did that Zhang Jing have a junior sister, this is really rare.

……

Mao Xuming hurriedly came to the back mountain of Dongsheng Village and saw three rotten and smelly corpses.

The corpses were no longer human, and they were still intact.

"General Mao," Captain Yang saw Mao Xuming, subconsciously felt that his trouser legs were cold, coughed lightly, and stepped forward: "Although these corpses are already decomposed, it can still be seen that they are covered with herpes, that is...... Herpes only for smallpox patients!

Although they deliberately wore the same clothes as the villagers and deliberately concealed their identities, they ......"

He glanced at the soldier beside him, who immediately presented something like an amulet with a cloth.

"This amulet is hand-woven, and it should be a token given to him by one of the deceased and a very important person, so he held it tightly in his hand before he died."

Captain Yang said in a deep voice: "And the weaving method of this amulet is very unique, and the villain remembers that it is a traditional craft that only exists in Fengzhou." ”

Mao Xuming looked at the pink and green talisman, which was obviously made by meditation, and frowned.

"Moreover, the clothes worn by these three people do not fit, obviously not their own clothes," Captain Yang continued: "They still have calluses in their hands that can only be left behind when they hold weapons all year round, and the identity of these three people, there is no doubt that they are soldiers like us!" ”

Mao Xuming was silent for a while, patted Captain Yang's shoulder, and said, "You did a good job, you come to deal with the matter here, and I will go back and report the situation to the lord." ”

After Mao Xuming finished speaking, he turned around and left.

He walked in a hurry, and he didn't notice that when he reached out to pat Captain Yang, Captain Yang's body stiffened.

General Mao's sudden serious appearance, he was really a little unaccustomed, and he always felt that he was going to pounce and hug his thighs and rub his tears and snot up.
