Mu Yu and Xie Chongning glanced at each other and opened the door for Wuchen, "Master Wuchen came to us, is there something wrong?" ”

Wuchen leaned over slightly towards Xie Chongning, and said elegantly, "I heard that the adults were going to stay in Yancheng for a while this morning, and Wuchen felt strange. ”

In the face of dustlessness, Mu Yu didn't hide it, "Actually, my lord and I have indeed found a lot of strange things in this wild goose city. ”

"Madam, please speak, Wuchen would like to hear the details."

Mu Yu gave Wuchen a detailed description of the anomalies that the two had recently discovered, "Although we don't have any evidence at the moment to prove that there is a problem with this Guangping Hou, but these problems are pieced together, and the results are already obvious. ”

Wuchen was silent for a while, "Then the lord wants to ask for proof at this time?" ”

"It's easy to verify." Even if there are more eyeliners of this Guangping Hou, it can't trap him Xie Chongning.

"That'...... Adults are worried, if the epidemic in this wild goose city is really extremely serious, how should it be treated? Wuchen asked again.

Xie Chongning lowered his eyes, "Exactly." ”

The purpose of their trip is only to control the epidemic from spreading to the north, and to treat the epidemic.

"Even if this Marquis Guangping was sent to the fief by the emperor, he was also a first-class official of the imperial court, and he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, where can we deal with it?" Mu Yu sighed, "Since we appeared, this Guangping Marquis has hidden the intention of hiding the epidemic to the end, and now we have discovered an abnormality in it, which he will never allow." ”

"In today's situation, even if we really find out about the epidemic, it will be a dead end." Wuchen also understood the situation at this time, "But the epidemic in Yancheng must be treated." ”

Now that the epidemic has spread to Yancheng, it has not continued to go north, so if you want to control the epidemic, this Yancheng must be defended.

It's easy to say, but with such a Guangping Marquis stirring up trouble here, what can they do?

Mu Yu shook his head helplessly, "With our current strength, it is impossible for the Marquis of Guangping to obey our orders, and I am worried that if the Marquis of Guangping knows that we have discovered the truth, will he do anything out of the ordinary." ”

"It's not a dead end." Xie Chongning said slowly.

Wuchen waved the hand of the Buddha bead and paused, "The one in the capital is indeed a credible person. ”

In the capital? Credible people? "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing here, who in the capital can help us?" When it comes to credible people in the capital, she can't think of anyone else except her eldest brother.

"King of Anping." Wuchen said softly.

It turned out to be Qin Xu? Qin Xu is usually a son-in-law, but Mu Yu has been in contact with him several times, and he also knows that he is a hidden master, and now the Ming Dynasty is in a dilemma, and it is indeed impossible for the county king to stand idly by.

"The king of the county is certainly credible, but the identity of the king of the county is inconvenient, if he wants to help us, I am afraid it will be difficult." I am not afraid of many difficulties, but I am afraid that when the rescue of the king of the county arrives, I am afraid that the epidemic will not be dispersed for a long time.

"Even so, the county king is the only one who can help us." Wuchen said slowly, "Lord Xie, would you like to do this?" ”

"That's all there is to it."

After Wuchen left, Xie Chongning secretly sent someone to send a letter to Qin Xu, but this time back and forth, how many days it was, I don't know what year it was.

"Although the letter has been delivered, we can't wait in Yancheng, we have to do something, right?" For some reason, she was panicked, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Well, since you're not far away, we'll go collect evidence."

"Evidence?" Mu Yu's dark eyes lit up, "How to collect it?" ”

"Tell you at night."

At dusk, the people in the house also cleaned up, and most of them went back to rest, only a few people guarded the courtyard, Xie Chongning didn't know where to find a black dress for Mu Yu and asked her to change into it, the only thing that remained unchanged was that her face was still covered with a heavy veil.

"Where are we going?" Mu Yu was faintly expectant and nervous.

Xie Chongning looked at the dark night outside the window, "Get out of the house." ”

Since they want to collect evidence, they naturally want to go to the place where the Marquis of Guangping does not let them go, there is only one seemingly prosperous street in this Yancheng, and there are indeed many cold roads.

Mu Yu followed Xie Chongning on the empty street, the road was very wide, and the facades of the shops on both sides were also shining with gold, and the plaques were hanging high, which was enough to see how lively this road was before.

But this originally lively street, the road is covered with dust, and there are a lot of fallen leaves, and no one has passed by for a long time, which can be seen by the naked eye.

The cold night, coupled with the empty streets, will blow cold wind from time to time, how to look, how to feel infiltrating.

"There's not even a person on the street, how can we find evidence?" The only sleepiness she had at night was also frightened by the cold street.

"It's not a good thing to meet people at this time." Xie Chongning tilted his head sideways and looked at her curling neck, pitiful and cute.

That's the same, I don't know how serious the epidemic is in this wild goose city, who knows if the person I meet is sick? If you accidentally get infected, that's bad.

Just as she had just turned from regret to joy, a thin figure flashed in front of them, even if it was night, but from the thin silhouette, it could be seen that it was probably a child.

Like a thief, the boy bent over, tiptoed and trotted cautiously into a restaurant.

"That looks like a child?" Mu Yu pointed to the black shadow in front of him, and followed the child into the restaurant with Xie Chongning, this restaurant must have been a golden and brilliant shop before, but now it is empty, there is not even a candle flame, and it is desolate.

The child hid in the restaurant, and then he didn't know where to go, this restaurant is so big, how to find it in the dark? Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning for help, and at the same time, Xie Chongning made a silent gesture to her, and walked into the backyard of the restaurant with her.

They didn't know where they had gone after passing through the lobby, but they did hear the clattering of iron and porcelain clashing with each other.

Could it be that this kid went to the kitchen? After that, the sound in the room stopped, and the child ran out of the kitchen like a little mouse again, but collided with Mu Yu and the two of them.

The child covered his mouth and jumped back in fright, "You ......" and the child lowered his voice again, "Who are you?" Did you deliberately follow me? ”

"Are you looking for something to eat?" It was too dark, and she couldn't see the child's appearance clearly, but it could be seen from the clothes the child was wearing that the child was from a poor background.

The child flattened his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "There is nothing to eat here, and it is useless for you to follow me." ”

"At a glance, you can see that there has been no one here for a long time, and where can there be food."

The child's arms hung down in disappointment, "Then you say, where can I get food?" ”

"Naturally, there is food where there are people." Mu Yu touched herself, she didn't have anything to eat, and when she came out, she deliberately changed her outfit, and there was nothing valuable on her, so she turned her head faintly and stared at Xie Chongning, "Do you have any silver on you?" ”

Xie Chongning picked up the purse on his waist, and before he could take out the silver, he was snatched by Mu Yu and handed it to the child, "There is some silver in here, wait until tomorrow you go buy something to eat." ”

Xie Chongning's hand was empty, looking at the extra purse in the child's hand, and said slowly, "The silver can be given to you, and the purse will be returned to me." ”

With the silver, what else did the child want, and without saying a word, he poured out the silver in the purse, and returned the purse to Xie Chongning.

It's just a purse, Xie Chongning didn't need to care so much, could it be that this purse was given by an important person? Before she could see the style of the purse, the purse was cysted by Xie Chongning like a baby, and she couldn't see half of it.

"What about your family?" Giving up the purse, Mu Yu's attention returned to the child.

"Naturally, I died because I was sick." The child said very calmly, the average child would have been scared and cried for a long time, but he was good, as if he had no feelings for his family.

"You're talking about illness, but the one with a rash all over your body?" Mu Yu asked.

The child nodded, "That's it, most of the people in the village have this disease, and almost all of them are dead, and so is my aunt." ”

"Are you talking about the village far away?"

"Not far, out of the south city gate, ten miles away." The child pointed to the guide, and then said, "I know that the people in this Wild Goose City are also sick, and for the sake of the two of you who gave me the money, I will kindly remind you that you should leave the Wild Goose City as soon as possible." ”

Mu Yu ignored the child's advice, squatted down and tried to make eye contact with the child, the child was about three feet tall, and he should be in his teens, "You said that everyone in this wild goose city is sick, then do you know where all the sick people in this wild goose city have gone?" ”

"Then you are asking the right person, a few days ago I saw with my own eyes that the housekeeper of the Marquis of Guangping sent someone to escort most of the living people in the city to the dungeon, and I hid in the garbage basket, so I escaped." When he said this, a trace of pride flashed on the child's face.

"Dungeon?" In this small wild goose city, there is even a dungeon? This Guangping Marquis is really a good skill, "Then where is this dungeon?" ”

"I don't know." The child shrugged his shoulders, "I was hiding in the garbage basket when I heard the housekeeper say that he would arrest all the people who had been in contact with the sick and send them to the dungeon. ”

As he spoke, the child was sarcastic, "I don't know which adult in the capital is this, who has to rush everyone to come when they are sick, isn't this rushing to die?" ”
