Chapter 186: The Plague Begins to Spread
The two of them strolled through the dimly lit streets, and the sound of distant beatings reached their ears unhurriedly.
"Tell me, how much more property do you have to hide from me? Even the auction house is yours? It was a bit of a surprise to me. ”
Chu Mohan pulled Shen Yu to the corner of the alley, and forcefully said that Shen Yu's hand was on his chest.
"Yu'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you, in order to accumulate capital to fight against my uncle in the capital in the past few years, I have indeed opened up a lot of industries, gambling houses, restaurants, restaurants, cloth shops, I have dabbled in them, and I have not told you these things, just to give you a surprise."
Shen Yu showed his white teeth and smiled: "Do you guess I believe it?" I don't blame you, but I think I've been pleasantly surprised! ”
Seeing Shen Yu smile happily, Chu Mohan's hanging heart was put down.
"But don't be too happy! In order to punish you for hiding it from me, I have decided to confiscate all your property! It's all used in the construction of Jade City, do you have any questions? ”
She pointed at Chu Mohan with a playful face, and Chu Mohan was also bold: "No problem!" These possessions were originally saved for you by your husband! You can use it however you want! ”
"Then tomorrow you can arrange some carriages and send some supplies to Yucheng, send more Chinese herbs, and I will tell you the address of the herbs tomorrow."
"Good!"
Chu Mohan paused and said:
"Recently, I heard that the plague outside the city is really raging, and I heard that it is rushing towards the capital at a very fast speed, but I don't know what is going on."
"Don't be afraid, with me, even the most powerful plague will always have a way to restrain it."
Chu Mohan nodded helplessly, now that the emperor basically ignores political affairs, presumably the twists and turns in the imperial study are piled up!
"It's not too early, you go back and rest early, tomorrow morning, let's go together to investigate Jiang Ran's murderer, he is hiding in the shadows like this, and sooner or later he will do something to us."
"Okay! Then I'll send someone to investigate now! There might be some surprises tomorrow morning. ”
"That's fine, I'll see you tomorrow."
Shen Yugang turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Mohan.
"Wait!"
Shen Yu: Huh?
"Bah."
With a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth, he touched Shen Yu's forehead, leaving some residual warmth.
"That's it! Be careful on the road! ”
"Good!"
Looking at the reluctant appearance of the two, Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned at the intersection.
"Tut-tut, the young master is really in love, and he doesn't want his brains, so he finally saved so much money for Miss Shen Yu! If you become a relative, you must not be confined and stay in the house and not allowed to go out, a proper wife is strict! ”
"Huh?!"
Chu Mohan's sudden appearance startled Qin Feng, and he quickly covered his mouth.
"What's wrong? The way you try your best to hide it, are you saying bad things about me again! ”
"Nope! Childe, how dare I say bad things about you, my eyes got into the sand, and I didn't have enough brains to rub my mouth. ”
He didn't believe Qin Feng's nonsense, he was so sloppy on weekdays, could he still make such a low-level mistake?
"That's it! Don't be poor! Hurry up and send someone to check on the guy who killed Jiang Ran with a secret weapon today! ”
In fact, after the incident, Qin Feng had already sent someone to investigate, but there was no eyebrow so far, but the organization was already investigating and searching for who Jiang Ran had been in contact with recently, and then started the investigation from them.
"It's already investigating, Childe, there should be news soon, you can go back and rest with peace of mind, and I'll keep an eye on the news."
As soon as he mentioned business, Qin Feng's eyes immediately became sharp, just like another look.
"Hmmm! Check it out! By the way, look at where the secret weapon came from, I always don't feel like it is used by our Qingguo people! ”
"Yes!"
Chu Mohan has always suspected that his uncle is colluding with a foreigner to rebel, but he has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, and he has not found anything unusual, even at night, he sleeps very lightly, and occasionally goes out of the door for a walk.
Every time I went to my uncle's yard, I could always see him studying something in his study alone, and he didn't notice any trace of the Gentiles.
Could it be that I suspect the wrong person? But that's not wrong to think about it! It's not his uncle, who else in this capital has the ability to collude with foreigners.
He felt more and more that the situation in the capital was chaotic, as if there was still a force watching them secretly.
At this time, many people outside the capital were pale, their lips were bloodless, and the whole person seemed to have lost their vitality, their eyes were blank, and they looked like they might die at any time.
"Mother! Don't scare me, mother! What the hell is wrong with you! ”
A doll who was only twelve or thirteen years old on the side pressed her mother's shoulder tightly, and in the blink of an eye, a mouthful of black blood spit out of the woman's mouth, and the people on the side quickly dragged the little boy aside.
"You don't want to die! Your mother is no longer saved, find a place to bury it! ”
The man had rags wrapped around his hands and a mask made of rags on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss.
"Brother Tang Ji! Save my mother! She's fine just now! It's possible that he's just sleepy! That's right, Brother Tang Ji! ”
The little boy's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and Tang Ji gritted his teeth and held his shoulder with his left hand, and pointed to the woman's corpse with his right hand.
"Your mother is dead, and you can't come back! You're twelve! Be strong, you still have a sister to take care of, don't spend too much time grieving! ”
Now, outside the city, there are two or three hundred refugees and beggars in their ruined temple alone, and many of them are infected with strange diseases.
At first, my face was pale, but then I felt that I had no strength in my body, and my throat was dry and itchy, and I lost my appetite.
At first, I only felt that my body was uncomfortable, and it may have been infected with the cold.
After I couldn't eat, I felt that my breathing became harder, and then I felt more and more tired, and the whole person was in a trance, and finally when I died, I suddenly felt that the limit was coming, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, ending my life.
"Brother Tang Ji, but my sister is also sick, this morning she said that she can't drink hot porridge, woo woo woo, my sister is going to die too."
Looking at the boy's tearful appearance, he couldn't bear it, but what could he do.
"It's going to get better, the person who went to the mountains to pick herbs should come back immediately, let your sister drink more after cooking!"
"Good!"
The boy quickly wiped away his tears and stood at the door looking in the direction of the top of the mountain, his mother was no longer there, and he, who was an older brother, must take good care of his younger sister!
After waiting for an hour to see the sparkling fires in the distance, the herbs that several people had tried their best had tried before, but they had no effect at all.
"What can I do! Is everyone sitting here waiting to die? Why don't those dog officials in the capital care about us! Even the capital won't let us in! ”
"That's it! No matter! I have to go to the pharmacy and buy medicine! I don't want to die here! Anyone who wants to stay alive will come with me! I don't believe they can kill us all!" ”
