"I know."

But Li Hanning still chose to come back, and Xiao Ce was too late to blame it now.

Li Hanning was outside Chang'an City, and he obviously heard Song Heng say that Meng Liang was also in the city, but when he entered the mansion today, it seemed that Xiao Ce was the only one in the mansion.

"Isn't Meng Liang beside His Highness these days?"

"He was in the backyard, I saw him the day before yesterday, Meng Liang was different from me, I didn't want to infect him after I got sick, so I let him live there temporarily."

In this way, Li Hanning understood.

Xiao Ce unconsciously coughed softly again when he spoke, and Li Hanning walked to the table and was about to pour him some water, but found that the water in the teapot was already cold.

Li Hanning hurriedly said, "I'll go boil some water." ”

It rained heavily in Chang'an a few days ago, and the ground outside was also damp, Li Hanning lived in this mansion for a few days, so he was very familiar with the layout here, walked through the long corridor, and came to the backyard is the room, Li Hanning followed and brought well water, and boiled the water with the only dry wood left in the room.

There is still a period of time before the water opens, and there are only a few rooms in the backyard here, Li Hanning thought that if Meng Liang hadn't slept yet, she wanted to see Meng Liang tonight, maybe there was a cure for the epidemic.

Thinking of this, Li Hanning went to look at a few guest rooms, but the guest rooms were opened one by one, and there was no one inside, and these were the last ones in front of him.

But there was no light in this room, thinking that someone was asleep, Li Hanning stretched out his hand to test it, but found that the unexpected door was pushed open with a creak.

Every house on the streets of Chang'an City has closed its doors from house to house, even if the door in the courtyard outside is closed, his room is open at this time.

She suddenly felt some inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

Li Hanning walked in slowly, there was no screen in this room, standing at the door with the moonlight, you could see that there was no one on the bed, but it was full of the smell of blood, and then Li Hanning looked down and saw a dry blood stain on the ground, which had turned purple and black.

As far as the blood stains were concerned, a lot of blood spread from the floor next to the table to the open window beside it.

Li Hanning picked up the saber on the grid on the side and immediately chased after it.

Li Hanning followed the scattered blood stains and found the wall on the side of the mansion, there seemed to be a ladder that was not used on the outside of the wall.

At the end of the bloodstain disappeared was a family, one of the few places in Chang'an City that still had candlelight.

There was a rapid cough from inside the room.

"Obviously, I have done what those mentors said, why is my father's illness still not getting better."

"I said it didn't work! One by one, you have to believe it, but now it is good, and it has become the retribution that God has given you. ”

"Mother, how can what those Taoist priests said be useless? So many people in Chang'an City have contracted the epidemic, and that doctor has obviously treated many people, how could he not be infected? And didn't you agree with us doing that in the first place? Now that people are dead, what's the use of blaming me again? ”

Li Hanning stood at their window, listening to the conversations coming from inside the room one after another.

People are already dead?

There were a total of three people talking in this room, and the two people who spoke in the back, including the one who coughed in front, were not like Meng Liang's voice.

A long sigh came from inside the room:

"It's fate."

"What those stinky Taoist priests said is not useful, they will harm us like this, and sooner or later we will be punished."

"Mother, don't be sad, that doctor is obviously a person from the Ming Palace, and if you can't say that this epidemic is that they have harmed Chang'an, there has been no epidemic for two years, why did everyone suddenly get sick again after they came, a few days ago I also heard that when the second uncle and his family went out of Chang'an City, they let the officers and soldiers watching outside be killed, and they are not good people."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the door being kicked open by Li Hanning.

The people in the room looked in the direction of the door in unison, and Li Hanning stood there with the sword in his hand.

Li Hanning asked in a deep voice, "Where is Meng Liang?" ”

The people in the room subconsciously looked at me, I glanced at you, and then the young man looked at Li Hanning and asked pretending to be stupid:

"What are you talking about? Who is Meng Liang? Who are you? Why come to my house? ”

Li Hanning didn't talk at all, and walked in step by step.

The young man saw that she was not good, and immediately wanted to lift the table, but Li Hanning's reaction was one step faster, she stepped on the table, followed the tip of the sword, and the sword in her hand was already less than an inch away from his neck.

This year, he was already infected with the epidemic, and he didn't have much strength in his body, but now he felt a cold sword between his neck, and he trembled with fright:

"Don't, don't kill me, I really don't know who Meng Liang you are talking about."

"Still won't tell the truth?" Seeing that Li Hanning was about to make a move, the woman sitting by the windowsill on the side hurriedly got up:

"Girl, we really don't know who this Meng Liang you are talking about."

These people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

Li Hanning glanced at her quietly, frowned and said:

"I was standing outside the door just now and heard it clearly, you mentioned the doctor in the Ming Palace."

That pair of mother and son, you look at me, I look at you, and then I realized that the person this girl is looking for is actually him.

The young man was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly said: "I know, I know where he is, we have locked him up in the firewood room." ”

They were finally willing to tell Meng Liang's Xia whereabouts, but Li Hanning also saw it clearly just now, and they clearly had something to hide from him, otherwise they wouldn't have such an exchange-like look.

For the sake of insurance, Li Hanning did not let go of the sword in his hand, but still raised his chin and looked at the young man in front of him:

"In that case, you can come with me."

The young man was threatened, and now he had to move slowly in the direction of the door, he glanced at his mother with a look for help, and the old woman was immediately ready to step forward, but was stopped by Li Hanning:

"You two are here, don't come along, or don't blame me for being unkind."

She had to separate the two men, and the old woman, who was afraid that she might hurt her son, immediately stood where she was, and did not dare to come forward, and the man lying on the bed seemed to be more seriously ill, and never left the bed.

The young man walked slowly, as if he was afraid that the sword between his neck would cut him.

"Go ahead, it's coming soon."

The two of them walked through a small courtyard and saw a house with an open door in the distance.

"Here it is."

"Woman, let me go, let others go inside."

But if people are tied up inside, how can it be that the door is not closed and no one is guarded?

Li Hanning naturally did not let go of the sword in his hand, but threatened the person in front of him with the sword and said:

"You go in first, and when I find him, he will naturally let you go."

The young man's footsteps were very vain, and his legs seemed to be a little weak when he walked, and it could be seen that he was really afraid, Li Hanning really didn't know that he didn't know how he dared to go to the Ming Palace?

And looking at the bloodstains in the room at that time, it had been at least two or three days since Meng Liang was taken away.

When the young man stepped over the steps, he almost tripped over the steps, and the room here was pitch black, but in the moonlight outside, he could barely see the decoration inside.

Li Hanning followed him to the room, but as soon as he entered, the young man suddenly squatted down and wanted to fight back with the sickle on the side.

It's just that Li Hanning's reaction was a step faster, and the moment before he held the scythe in his hand, a cold sword had already cut through his neck, and this year he squatted on the ground, his eyes widened in disbelief, covering his neck, blood seeped out continuously, and he fell to the ground strugglingly.

The blood of the sword in Li Hanning's hand dripped on the ground, and she walked step by step towards the fire room, there were also scattered dried blood stains on the ground, and she saw a terrifying scene along the way.

It was a mutilated corpse, its head had fallen somewhere, its white clothes had been stained purple and black, all soaked with blood, and even the haystacks under him were stained with his blood.

The corpse was already somewhat decomposed, and he was surrounded by flies and maggots.

Li Hanning threw away the sword in his hand, leaned over and rummaged over his clothes, and a token fell between the flips of his clothes.

Engraved on it were the two words she was most familiar with: "Meng Liang." ”

Li Hanning then glanced at the corpse again, the height of this corpse was indeed very similar to him.

How could it be.

Why did they kill him.

Li Hanning subconsciously took a step back and clenched the token in his hand, the flies were not only flying near this corpse, but also some flies were flying around the iron pot on the side, Li Hanning walked into the iron pot and lifted the wooden lid.

The boiled head and arms were still intact in the pot and they treated Meng Liang s corpse like livestock li hanning frowned in disgust she suddenly thought of the conversation she heard by the window at that time.

"That doctor has obviously been in contact with a lot of people who are suffering from the epidemic, why didn't he get it?"

"Those Taoist priests have obviously said that if you can find a person who is not sick, you can't say that there is a place on him that can cure the disease, and if Dad eats him, he will be fine."

At that time, Li Hanning had just heard the conversation between them, and he hadn't reacted yet, what they were talking about.

They really-

Such ignorance.

Meng Liang stayed in Chang'an not only for Xiao Ce, people like him stayed, naturally to save the people here, but now it's good, they not only killed Meng Liang, but also treated him like this.
