"Okay, you guys stand down first," Yue Li shouted outside, "If I need someone, I'll naturally call it, don't stay here with me all the time." ”

"Yes." The maids all went down.

After that basin of hot water, Yue Li had already turned flesh-colored after cleaning, and she sent the maid away in order not to expose herself.

But what did she have to do with this basin of water so as not to arouse everyone's suspicion, she looked around the room, but fortunately there were a few fortune trees in the bedroom, which gave her face wash a place to go.

Yue Li poured all the pots of hot water into the flower pots, and sighed comfortably, now her task is to find out what is in the Cao Mansion?

She couldn't forget the scene last night, why did Master Cao, who was normal during the day, become so sluggish at night, like a puppet, if someone controlled him, who was the person who controlled him?

Yue Li racked his brains to think about it, but he couldn't come up with this thing just by thinking about it.

At this time, the Cao Mansion was like a huge black hole, standing there quietly with countless secrets, and they were trapped here, not knowing whether to die in Huangquan or to discover something new here.

After eating, Ye Qin took Yue Li and Song Shu to the yamen, and the yamen was indeed like the old ghost said, only one master was struggling to support it.

As soon as they entered, they didn't even catch a quick catch.

"My lord, you're finally here, and I'm almost out of it." A man in patched clothes rushed forward, eager to pounce at Ye Chin's feet.

"You are?" Ye Qin was a little puzzled.

"I'm the master here." The man hugged Ye Qin's thigh, and he couldn't wait to be a pendant.

"Oh, it turned out to be the master, that hard work for you. What are you going to do now? Ye Qin nodded, while trying to help the master up.

"Don't talk about adults, I've been supporting here for half a year, and I don't think I'm going to be able to support it anymore. Your Excellency, please save me, and find someone to solve this plague chaos. "The master said that he didn't get up at all.

Ye Qin was a little helpless, "I came here this time to solve the plague, but if you don't make it clear to me, I don't know what's going on." ”

The master cried with a sad face: "Okay, I said." ”

It turned out that the previous prefect died of the plague. So he can only work honestly as an agent, but he can't hold on like this all the time. He now felt exhausted, and Soye Chin came.

Ye Qin could see that his desire to run was more urgent.

Ye Qin looked at his master like this, and knew that he was indeed tired, so he didn't say anything. "This lord has really worked hard for you."

"It's not hard, it's not hard," the master hurriedly waved his hand, he raised his face, "This is all about contributing to the imperial court, how can it be hard?" ”

Yue Li rolled her eyes: It's not hard, you were wronged there.

The group was taken to the yamen in this way, and the master looked at the stack of official documents on the official case, and smiled shyly: "I don't know if the adults can?" ”

"What can you?"

"It's really exhausting to be able to help!" Master's acting skills are a little exaggerated.

"Okay, then you can bring it, I want to see if everything has stopped during this plague, why are there so many official documents?" Ye Chin also wanted to know what was going on in the city recently.

Yue Li and Song Shu also had nothing to do, so they wandered around the yamen, but they felt a little weird when they walked around, it felt like they were in Caofu, obviously everything was logical, but there was something wrong, as if this master was really acting with them.

Acting? Yes, what if these people are acting? If the people in this city are all acting, who has so much power to control the whole city?

Yue Li shuddered, she didn't dare to imagine who was behind all this.

Song Shu was roaming around there, the yamen was already in a dilapidated state, and the disgusting stench wafting from outside made her understand that this place was about to become a dead city.

The two of them took a turn, and when they came back, they pressed all their puzzles in their hearts and listened carefully to what the master said.

The master is now sitting in front of Ye Qin, accompanied by a smiling face: "My lord, didn't I say that there was a great drought in Fangzhou before, and as a result, the relief food of the imperial court has not come down, and many people have died, and then there was a sudden outbreak of the plague, and then it is what it is now?" ”

"Why hasn't the food for the drought arrived?" Ye Qin actually knew it all in his heart.

The master glanced around mysteriously and said to him, "It is said that the previous adults were greedy for a lot of food, but he was greedy for life, so he died of the plague." ”

Ye Qin nodded, "Then do you know where this plague came from?" ”

"I heard from the doctors in the city that it was because the corpses of the starving people in the city were rotting, and then it caused a large plague." The master replied truthfully.

"No, on such a hot day, why don't you collect the bones? Let them rot in the streets and break out with a plague? Yue Li asked.

When the master saw the ordinary person next to him, he just wanted to choke back, but when he saw Song Shu standing aside respectfully, he knew that this man's identity was not simple.

He hurriedly changed his expression: "You don't know anything about this adult!" It's not that we don't want to collect the burial, it's that the residents of the city don't want to collect the burial! It's not that I don't want to, the adult before collected the corpse, and one body cost one or two silver, which is enough for ordinary people to spend for more than half a year, everyone is suffering, who has the money to collect the corpse? If you don't have money, you can only let it be exposed to the streets. ”

"So it caused a massive plague?" Yue Li didn't think it was a plague, but she didn't say it. "And are there any bodies in the morgue now?"

"Yes, there are still some unburned corpses, and I don't dare to enter the morgue by myself, so I can only put them there."

"Okay, you take me there." Yue Li said to the master, and the master hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't help it, my lord, this plague is contagious, if you go in and get infected, in case there are three long and two short, how can I explain to the court!" ”

"I don't need you to explain, do you want the plague to spread all the time in Fangzhou City? Do you want to make Fangzhou a dead city? Yue Li's tone gradually became sharper, as if he was questioning.

The master looked at her and was a little scared, "But, but." ”

"But what? Isn't it worth saving their tens of thousands of lives with my life? "Master stopped talking.

Ye Qin glanced at Yue Li, his eyes were full of worry, "Otherwise, don't go." ”

"Lord Ye, I know what you're thinking, you want to take this matter down by yourself, but this matter is not as simple as you think, if you take it down, you may not be able to complete the task assigned to you by His Majesty."
