Chapter 367: Buying Time
The huge city, the lights are lit up like stars, maybe a hundred days of good weather, at this time near the evening, Bianliang is still lively, a few streets in the direction of Donghua Gate are relatively much more deserted, but you can still see well-dressed scribes, or rich people in luxurious clothes in the past, you can always see a few male servants and maids behind you, occasionally one or two carriages pass by, it doesn't look like there is much pomp, but the thick curtain shows that most of the people inside also have some identity.

The only place that can be used for people who go out at this time at night is the Qinglou, which is open day and night, of course, there will be no simple drinking and venting, elegant and vulgar, meeting friends with literature, and most of the prostitutes and prostitutes are like this.
The noise of the market and the sound of Qinglou Fuqin singing are floating in the streets, and the whole Bianliang is in a relatively harmonious and balanced night.
The shops on both sides of the street hung lanterns, and in the midst of the lights, a figure made an exaggerated gesture, and occasionally the surrounding women saw each other and hurriedly dodged, and the person stretched out his hand and clawed, stretched out and retracted, let go of the wreckage, and pounced with an extremely obscene shout.
ā.... This girl from a good family.... I see how good you look, let me take a closer look, hahahaha, come on, come on, put your hands down, don't run! Someone grabbed her, she looked so Peugeot and ran out, she was just picking up heavenly things! ha!"
Gao Muen's voice has fallen to a certain extent. The woman who was stopped was naturally frightened and screamed, and the male companion who was traveling with her wanted to step forward, but when she saw several people with broken knives approaching, she couldn't help but take a step back.
"That word is dead!" Behind Gao Muen, in the crowd of peers, the eunuch led by him waved his hand, "Don't make trouble, the matter is done, you should go back and resume your life." ā
As soon as the hand that grabbed the woman's arms loosened, Gao Muen turned around in frustration, "It's boring... It's boring, we're Dongchang, so many big officials have got it, how can a flat-headed common man be cowardly?
"I won't come out with you in the future. As he spoke, he crossed his arms and looked angrily at the man and woman who fled in a panic.
Liu Jin snorted coldly, looked at him, and walked in the direction of Dongchang, on the way he was still quite polite to the little follower beside Lord Admiral, "No matter who you come out with, this is the result." ā
"Why?" the sullen Gao Muen got angry for a while, and couldn't help but ask.
The 100 households in Dongchang, who were walking in front, finally looked back at him, "..... Gao Gonggong must have never planted crops, this people, just like the crops in the field, when they grow, we take care of them, and when they grow up, they can eat, and it should be the time for us farmers to harvest. ā
"I don't understand. ā
ā.... At first, our family didn't understand, but now we understand, even Yu Qianhu, Cao Qianhu, Cao Gonggong, and even the sea Qianhu who doesn't go out of the gate and don't step out of the second door all understand this truth, if we all harm the people, and make the people miserable, what do you say we have worked so hard to get the power for? Without the people, where can we be powerful and blessed, so how can we harm ourselves, are you right?"
He looked up at the black sky, thinking as he walked, and said with a little hesitation.
The night wind is howling, passing through the city of Bianliang.
In the East Investigation Factory, Bai Ning sat in a small building dealing with affairs, the desk was full of incoming and outgoing information, the light of the candle flame and the night outside were resisting each other, and the fans of the division room were going in and out, as if they could make waves.
Soon after, Hai Dafu came over with his care, he wiped his face, and looked a little tired. Hai Dafu's eyes were full of worry, and he carefully persuaded: "Overseer, you go back and rest, it's okay for the slaves and maids to be here." ā
ā... There's news from the palace, let's talk about it, the empress dowager is dead. Bai Ning leaned back, took a sip of the tea on the table, held it in his hand, and turned his head to look at the other party.
Over there, the moment Hai Dafu's figure nodded, he had already answered, "Yes, Yu Qianhu has already received news, and an hour ago, Shang Yu was sent on the road." ā
Bai Ning closed his eyes, and after being silent for a moment, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice very low: "..... After all, the emperor did not have the strength to confront Zhao Wu head-on, so he could only shift his attention to Liang Yu, this matter was done, our family did not regret it, but it couldn't be announced, not only Liang Yuanzhui couldn't know, if Guan Sheng and they all knew, the forces we cultivated outside basically collapsed, and if one son made a mistake, it would all be over, and the governor must not be merciful because of the old thoughts. ā
The wind came in, the candles flickered, and the silhouettes of light and darkness flickered on the walls, and he told the reason for killing Shang Yu to this subordinate who had been with him for many years, and the other party also knew the reason.
For such a thing to happen, Hai Dafu actually agreed, but frowned slightly complicatedly, "Overseer, it's just like this, those people below must have ideas in their hearts, and if this goes on like this, it will be detrimental to Dongchang and the Overseer." ā
"Then find them something to do. Bai Ning got up and pushed open the window behind him, standing there proudly, looking at the night outside, "There are still so many corpses waiting to be cleaned up outside, the homeless people need to be resettled, let's talk about it in the court tomorrow, the top priority is to deal with those corpses first." ā
"Corpses....", he muttered as he looked at the dark sky.
Then he turned around and had a smile on his face, "All the corpses, our family has to come down, look for the sparsely populated and remote mountains, hoard the corpses, catch some mice and feed them." ā
"What...."Hai Dafu's lowered head raised sharply, and he hesitated for a moment, "Overseer.... There will be a plague .... This is no joke. ā
Bai Ning didn't reply to his words, he reflexively sat down at the table, took the pen and ink and began to write a lot of words on a blank piece of paper, and at the same time commanded the words in his mouth.
"Notice... In all parts of Gyeonggi, the dog that went crazy was found for the governor and kept in captivity. But remember not to be bitten by them, and collect the saliva of these rabid dogs every day. ā
"Also, all the condemned prisoners in Bianliang Prison were thrown to our family to hoard corpses, so that they could eat and live with the corpses, and if any of them showed symptoms of plague, they would be immediately isolated. ā
Even though Hai Dafu was full of martial arts, when he heard these orders, his whole person trembled, after all, in his age, he also knew how terrible the outbreak of the plague was, even more terrifying than the military disaster.
The other party's abnormality made Bai Ning, who was writing, stop, and he turned his gaze to Hai Dafu, and the hand on the table tapped rhythmically, making a burst of dong sound.
"Rich.... I know that you are worried, but you also know better that the attitude of the northern country towards the Wu Dynasty has come over this year, but because their emperor is seriously ill, what if it is next year? What about the year after next? Do you think that in just two or three years, we can sew up the broken courage of the court?"
The fat figure was silent in the candlelight, then shook his head.
"Bendu knows that this is playing with fire..... Bai Ning crumpled the paper that was originally written and slapped it on the table, "But it can always drag on for a few years, and when they can face the Jurchen iron hooves, then they will really stand up." But don't worry, for prevention, Bendu will make a plan, and then you take it down and let the people below read it well, and you must let them remember it in their hearts, and something will go wrong. ā
Soon, he picked up the paper ball on the table, turned and walked out, in fact, he had just said something like prevention.
Bai Ning didn't have much confidence in his heart.
PS: Second more. I guess I can't write the next chapter, and my brain is a little swollen and blocked.
