The next day, the government and the Yanchuan County Daogong sent a walker who held a banner and took a qi machine from Yu's corpse, and after a little identification, it was determined that it was not the plague that died, and explained that they would finish the funeral within a day and were not allowed to stay for a long time.

On the same day, Chen Chiying presided over the funeral, and everything was simple. The red line cried to death, and Yang Mu and Chen Xianyun kept comforting her. Chen Jingzhi also knew that this matter could only be allowed to pass slowly in order to heal the wound.

Chen Jingzhi and Chen Chiying talked at night, and told them that they had accepted Yang Tingqing as an apprentice on behalf of Chen Chiying, and found the traces left by the ancestor, and they were going to go to southern Xinjiang next.

Chen Chiying said, "Lord, Southern Xinjiang is now a war, and if you really want to go, you have to be very careful." ”

Chen Jingzhi said firmly, "This matter must go, it was originally planned, Zhao Xian seems to be supervising the battle on behalf of the Son of Heaven in Southern Xinjiang, if he can get Zhao Xian's support, there will be many fewer obstacles to the establishment of the Dao Palace in the future." But now it seems that I have to deal with the affairs here before I can go to southern Xinjiang again, and I am not very relieved that you and Hongxian and others are not very at ease. ”

"Although the war has not spread now, I think that Baiyue Country will definitely have a move, and Yanchuan County will become an important supply depot. Now that there are so many things, it is very likely that it has something to do with Baiyue Kingdom. Chen Chiying very much agreed with Chen Jing to go to Baiyue Country before.

Chen Jingzhi said, "Baiyue Kingdom may also collude with Zhaimen, I think this time the Yu family is likely to be injured by mistake, these have to be careful, I also have a lot of grievances in Yanchuan County, especially with Zhaimen, I went to Miyang County this time and found that I can live in Miyang County, there are traces of the ancestor in that place, and our younger disciples can also do their best for the ancestor." ”

"Do you want to relocate to the past? I'm afraid it's a little difficult now, now is the time of the plague in Zhenning Mansion and Yanchuan County, and no other place will let it go. ”

"In this plan, everything depends on chance. Chen Jingzhi nodded, and then said, "I went to see a few places where the plague occurred this time, and most of them were in Dongcheng, which is very strange here, this plague must be artificially controlled, starting with the rich, the possibility of people flowing increases, and it may spread quickly." ”

"It seems that this is indeed the case when the Lord says this, and now people everywhere are panicking, especially some big households, who are eager to flee Yanchuan County immediately, they are in chaos, and there is even more chaos below. If it weren't for the iron-fisted suppression of the newly arrived Wu County, a group of wealthy families would have escaped from Yanchuan County first. In addition, the prefecture and county cities have sent additional manpower over, which stabilized the situation. ”

"If it's really a man-made disaster, I have to send you away as soon as possible. Chen Jing's heart was cold, he was going to take a look at the specific situation of the plague tomorrow.

The next day, it was Xu Da who came to the door in a hurry, Chen Jingzhi glanced at him, there seemed to be a demonic aura entangled on his body, but it was a little weird, so he said, "Brother Xu, are you looking for me because something strange happened at home?"

Xu Da couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What Chen Gongzi said is exactly, Dao Palace is busy dealing with all kinds of big and small things now, I really can't find anyone who can only think of Chen Gongzi." After he finished speaking, he looked at the situation in the house and was also sad.

Chen Jingzhi said, "I'll go with you and lead the way." ”

Xu Da was very grateful in his heart, and immediately took Chen Jingzhi to Xicheng. Most of the gates along the way are closed, there are smoked wormwood pines and cypresses everywhere, and there are still many poor families begging or selling along the streets. Seeing this situation, Chen Jingzhi speculated in his heart that he might not be able to hold on soon, and it would be difficult for the government and the Dao Palace to send rations to every household, and they would definitely come out in the end if there was no food.

Xu Da took Chen Jingzhi on a long detour, it turned out that after several families were infected by the plague on the way, the chickens and dogs were not left, and they were all in pain and wailing for three or four days before they died, and their intestines were rotten, and the seven orifices were bleeding. Xu Da was also worried that Chen Jingzhi would enter by mistake, and on the way he encountered officers and soldiers walking in the Dao Palace, and drove them back vigorously. Xu Dayuan threw the silver taels out before they were willing to let them go.

It took more than half an hour to arrive at Xu Da's home in Yanchuan County. Chen Jingzhi asked Xu Da's family not to come out, but walked along the courtyard by himself, and suddenly grabbed a bald mouse from the ground, which suddenly squeaked and was about to pounce. Chen Jing stepped on one of the feet and trampled the mouse to death.

"You don't have to worry, you are not infected by the plague, you will be fine if you steal the filthy rice and cook it for an hour on high heat. After Chen Jingzhi did this, Xu Daqian thanked him and took out a bag of polished rice and half of bacon to give to Chen Jingzhi.

Chen Jingzhi shook his head and refused, "You can store the food and the like yourself, and it may be difficult to take it next." After saying that, he followed the direction pointed out by Xu Da before, and secretly went to investigate the plague.

He went to several places and found that those infected with the plague were all gathered together, or locked in their homes, and there was no one living nearby, only the Dao Palace's walk came to distribute talismans. These talismans are all made by the gods, and the main purpose is to solve the plague, but the effect is not very obvious, and it can only be contained.

I looked at many places in a row, but I didn't have much clue, and I didn't figure out the source and wanted to protect the people in my family, which is a fool's dream. However, Chen Jingzhi also knew that plagues and the like almost all came from the seven orifices, and they could still be taken a little precautions, but if this was done by evil gods or demons, then these methods would be frivolous.

Chen Jingzhi returned home, but saw a person waiting at his door, it turned out to be Xu Pingzhang, only to see that he was depressed and full of alcohol.

Xu Pingzhang's face sank after seeing Chen Jingzhi, he threw out a bag of silver in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I lost to you before." ”

Chen Jingyi took it, took it, and said with a smile, "Xu Gongzi, sure enough, he didn't forget it." ”

"I'm not you, I have guts in my chest. Xu Pingzhang heard this as if mocking, his eyes were red, and he moved forward step by step, his mouth seemed to grit his teeth, "You are a person who has no courage, you are not ashamed? You are a coward, a coward who will only let others down." ”

Chen Jingzhi said coldly, "Gongzi Xu, I think you drank too much." ”

"I wish I had drunk too much, so I would have to fight you to the death. Xu Pingzhang's expression was cold, approaching Chen Jingzhi, "My junior sister is a pearl of mine, but you ignore her true feelings in vain." If you really still have a little affection, you will take your sister away and take her away, but you are a cowardly coward. ”

Chen Jingzhi frowned, not knowing what was going on.

"Gongzi Xu, you have made your words clear. ”

Xu Pingzhang roared angrily, "My junior sister is getting married, she is going to get married, to marry someone she doesn't like." ”

Chen Jing's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, Hu Yunru was about to get married, and after a while, he exhaled lightly, pretending to be quiet, "Then congratulations to Miss Hu, since ancient times, the words of the parents have been matchmakers, where is there a liking? ”

"Nonsense, you fart, you are really a person who has no responsibility, I really didn't misunderstand you, but I just wasted my sister's affection. Xu Pingzhang's eyes were red, and he glared at Chen Jingzhi angrily, and he was already about to make a move.

Chen Jingzhi said, "Miss Hu Yunying is not married, Xu Gongzi should not ruin Miss Hu's reputation." ”

"At this time, you are still here to be hypocritical, and my sister also said that you are frank and unrestrained, and in my opinion, you are a hypocrite. Xu Pingzhang's eyes were full of disdain, and then he said in great disappointment, "Do you know who my junior sister is going to marry? ”

"Bibo Mansion?" Chen Jingzhi's brows suddenly twisted together, Bibo Mansion is a large tributary of the water, forming a huge lake near Zhenning Mansion and Baiyue Kingdom, where it is called Bibo Mansion, the owner of Bibo Mansion is actually a river god, and it is rumored that it is a dragon who has cultivated for many years to become a god.

"If it weren't for the fact that you went out with your junior sister that day and provoked the lord of Bibo Mansion, how could he come to the door to propose marriage? If the junior sister went to Bibo Mansion, where would she be able to be independent in the future? Then the lord of Bibo Mansion already has eight wives, and the junior sister's temperament would rather die than be willing. ”

Chen Jingzhi was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the day he and Hu Yunru went out together, and met a strong man who was domineering and profound, and that person was full of nobility, so he thought that person should be the lord of Bibo Mansion. But how could a dignified god fall in love with a human woman?

"How can the gods of that generation step into the world in vain and ask to marry the official eunuchs of the world?

"Bibo Mansion and my Yinghua Dao Palace are not all the way, hehe, plus this is Master Hu's intention to give his daughter to the Lord of Bibo Mansion, what can Dao Palace say?" Xu Pingzhang was full of helplessness, glanced at Chen Jingzhi with disdain, handed him a letter and said, "Senior sister wants to see you for the last time." ”

Chen Jingzhi took this letter, which had been rubbed several times by Xu Pingzhang, and the other party should not want to hand over this letter to him, but finally handed it over.

Xu Pingzhang sneered, "If you still have a little responsibility, you will take my junior sister away, I would rather never see her again, than see her sad and crying." After finishing speaking, two lines of tears suddenly flowed from the corners of Xu Pingzhang's eyes, and he turned away.

Xu Pingzhang's mind kept coming back to when he was young, he took Hu Yunru to play in the back mountain, and Hu Yunru often held his hand and told him that he would marry him when he grew up. Xu Pingzhang always remembered this sentence, he came back to Yanchuan County from Yinghua Dao Palace, just to go to Hufu to propose marriage and marry Hu Yunru.

However, the way of the world has changed, and since Hu Mao was promoted to the chief secretary, he did not agree with this family business. Since Xu Pingzhang came to Yanchuan County, he found that Hu Yunru was no longer the timid and well-behaved Hu Yunru ten years ago.
