Chapter 20 (2nd Update)

On this day, An Seventeen came to Bei'an City, and together with An Sixteen, in the name of Su Ziqi, he sent the people of Bei'an City to several places formulated by Huayan in batches.

As Cheng Guzhi said, some people have lived in Bei'an City for generations and are not willing to go, and some people are old and frail and can't walk. But under the persuasion of An 16 and An 17, the people all knew that there was a plague in Bei'an City, and if they didn't leave, they would die.

In the past few days, Su Zi has punished the major families in the north and cleaned up the chaos in the officialdom in the north, which is very popular with the people. Therefore, the vast majority of people obeyed the arrangement to leave Bei'an City for the time being.

Only a small number of people said that they would not leave, and An Sixteen did not force it, and stayed in Bei'an City.

There are still a few people, who will question it, and An Sixteen took people to take them into custody.

As early as the first time the plague was discovered in Qingpu County, Su Ziqi ordered the blockade of all the cities in the north, so now Bei'an City is sending people out in a big way, and under the strict control of An Sixteen with the secret guards of the Hua family, those who have the slightest change will be taken down, and naturally the news cannot be transmitted.

From dawn to midnight, 55,000 people were sent out of Bei'an City in the middle of the night.

Because of the heavy snow and cold weather, the Hua family used a large number of financial and material resources to ensure that there were no casualties on the way to keep warm and keep warm.

As Hua Yan expected, in the middle of the night, the number of people infected with the plague in Bei'an City increased to 2,500, and the number of people who did not survive the plague was 3,300.

This number, compared to 60,000, is already a minority.

At night, Hua Yan pulled the sky endlessly, and led people to stir up Bei'an City in three batches with Cheng Zixiao, Cheng Guzhi, the Five Princes, Xia Ze and others.

Bei'an City, a city that is nine-tenths empty, is brightly lit on this night under the heavy snow and cold.

One mansion after another was turned over, and every household checked it.

At noon on the second day, the source of the plague as expected by Huayan was not found.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, three groups of people have turned it over six or seven tenths.

He took out a bottle of medicine, poured out a pill, swallowed it heavily, and handed it to Hua Yan beside him, and at the same time, shook the snow on his body, and said to her, "Little girl, are you sure you are not wrong?" Now that I've been checking for so long, I've turned this city over, and I haven't lost anything. ”

Cai Qing held an umbrella for Hua Yan, blocking the snowflakes in the sky, and also looked at Hua Yan when she heard the words.

Hua Yan shook her head, "My suspicions can't be wrong, maybe we are investigating in the wrong direction." ”

Tian Bu looked at her, "In addition to checking like this, how else can you check?" ”

Hua Yan frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn't do anything, she said to Cai Qing, "Go and call them over, and we'll discuss it." ”

Cai Qing answered, handed the umbrella to Hua Yan, and sent someone to pass the word.

Hua Yan held an umbrella and said to the sky, "Let's go, go to the city tower." ”

Tian Bu nodded and followed her.

Hua Yan walked up to the city tower step by step, because no one cleaned it, the thick snow on the steps made the ground very slippery. But she twisted the snow, step by step, but walked very steadily.

The two of them went up to the city tower, Hua Yan looked at the four cities of east, west, north and south, and condescendingly looked at the entire Bei'an City, and after looking at it for a while, she asked endlessly, "Someone just came to report that how many people have died?" ”

"More than 1,200 people who were infected with the plague yesterday died. ”

Hua Yan was silent and stopped talking.

Not long after, someone went up to the city tower, stood behind Hua Yan, and bowed his hand, "Young master, the sixteenth prince has just sent a message, and since yesterday, two hundred people who have been sent out have been infected with the plague, and they have all been controlled by the whole family. ”

"The number of people, how many people can the family control?" Hua Yan asked.

The man replied, "More than three thousand." ”

Hua Yan pursed her lips, "That's the number." ”

The man said, "Thirty miles after leaving Bei'an City, five people moved, the master and apprentice escaped, and they were ordered by the sixteenth prince to be taken up and interrogated strictly. ”

"Hmm." Hua Yan nodded and ordered, "Tell Sixteen that those who are infected with the plague will be sent back to Bei'an City, and the rest must not be relaxed." ”

The man should have been, and immediately went.

At this time, Tian Buzhi spoke, "Your method is right. From last night to today, there are only 200 people, and if they are left in Bei'an City, I am afraid that there will be thousands of people. ”

"But these two hundred people have already harmed three thousand, and perhaps these three thousand have all been infected with the plague, and it is impossible for the family not to be close to each other." Hua Yan said.

Tian Bu sighed, "yes." ”

Hua Yan stopped talking and looked at the city.

Tian Bu also followed Hua Yan for a while and asked, "Standing here, what can you see?" ”

Hua Yan said, "I can see that the direction of the four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest is extremely positive, and at a glance, the four city gates are far away from the mountain, the east mountain, the west mountain, the south mountain, and the north mountain, and the four eyes are vast." ”

Tian Bu kept looking around, "Since ancient times, the city has been built and feng shui is emphasized, and there are many such square cities, so there is nothing strange." ”

Hua Yan narrowed her eyes, "With such heavy snow, a person is frozen to death, and the corpse worms of the plague should also be frozen." However, there is an endless stream of seizures. ”

The sky is constantly moving.

At this time, the footsteps of several people below came, which were extremely messy.

Hua Yan glanced back and saw Cheng Guzhi and the others coming, because of the middle of the night and half a day, they kept searching, and everyone was very tired. Especially Xia Ze, who is already in poor health, and his little face is whiter than snow.

A few people came up, looking extremely tired, and they all saluted Huayan.

Hua Yan waved her hand and handed the stove in her hand to Xia Ze, "If you can't stand it, go back to the yard and rest." ”

Xia Ze didn't take over the stove, "Sister Yan, I'm not cold, and I can stand it." ”

Hua Yan shoved the hand stove into him, "Take it." When the words fell, he said to the heavens, "Give him a bottle of your medicine." ”

Tian Bu endlessly reached into his arms, took out a bottle of medicine, handed it to Xia Ze, and said stiffly, "Stinky boy, what can you do with this sick body?" You are young and in poor health, and no one will laugh at you when you go back to rest. ”

Xia Ze reluctantly took Huayan's stove, and his arms suddenly warmed, and he took the endless medicine bottle, thanked him in his mouth, and said, "I'm not young, I can't do it, but I can still stand it." ”

Hua Yan touched his head, didn't say anything more, and said to a few people, "I've been checking for half a night and half a day, and I haven't found anything yet, I always feel that the direction of the investigation is wrong, what do you think?" ”

Several people glanced at each other and thought for a while.

After a while, Cheng Zi smiled and said, "Could it be that you are not expecting it at all?" There is no source of plague in Bei'an City? ”

"No way, there must be." Hua Yan said, "Although the onset of white blister plague is fast, it will not multiply under our control at the first time. Those three must be a disguise. Bei'an City definitely hides the source of the plague. ”

"But now I'm about to turn over Bei'an City, and I haven't found any clues." Cheng Zixiao thumped his shoulders, stomped his feet and said, "Catching up with such a heavy snow and freezing to death will not be directed to us." ”

Cheng Guzhi spoke at this time, "It is said that those who broke out of the plague yesterday are all dead. ”

"Yes, they're all dead, more than a thousand people." Hua Yan said.

Cheng Gu Zhizhi, "It stands to reason that since the plague is coming at Zi Zhu Gongzi and the crown princess, then, the Zi Zhu Gongzi and the crown princess will not be close to ordinary people at all, and the people behind it should also know." Even if the people behind it covered the entire Bei'an City, how could they be so sure that they would kill the two of you with the plague? ”

Huayan's mind moved.

"Yes, that's weird." Cheng Zi said with a smile, "Unless the person behind it underestimated the ability of the prince and the princess, thinking that it was too late for them to discover the plague and had been quietly infected with the plague, but as the second brother said, the prince and the princess would not be close to ordinary people at all, and they would not be easily infected with the plague." And if the plague covers Bei'an City, unless there is no cure, the prince and the crown princess will say that they will not evacuate Bei'an City. ”

Hua Yan pursed her lips, "If I hadn't been here, Su Ziqi would have had a reason to leave, and he would definitely not leave Bei'an City." And I, am I a righteous person in the heart of the person behind me? Would you rather die yourself than evacuate Bei'an City with the infamy of the world? ”

After saying that, she sneered, "I cherish my life very much. ”

Cheng Guzhi immediately said, "Because of your identity as the crown princess, since you came to Bei'an City and appeared in the Cheng family, some people still know that you are in Beidi, once Bei'an City is covered by the plague, and you secretly evacuated, once the news spreads in the future, how can you not be scolded by the world?" scolding you also implicated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the same time. ”

Hua Yan sneered again, "It turns out that the person behind it is the best to kill Su Zi and me under the guise of being able to use the plague, and I can't kill it, obviously there are still tricks waiting for us." As long as the city of Bei'an is destroyed and becomes a dead city, and the people die here, they will be righteous and loyal, and if they evacuate, they will be treacherous people who do not care about the lives of the people. In short, ruined. ”

The fifth prince opened his mouth at this time and said angrily, "The person behind it is really his heart. ”

Hua Yan looked in the direction of the capital and said lightly, "Yes, his heart can be punished." But the key is how to find him. ”
