Daming King of Punishment

Originally, they also saw the plague from the records reported by local officials.But when they came here, they didn't see any appearance of a plague at all, but now they learned such a thing from the mouths of the people, they were naturally very surprised.

"Brain plague! Is it true?"

Bai Zhuo said suspiciously with some disbelief.

The victim said without exaggeration: "Is this still fake? Could it be that so many of us are full of food, and instead of farming at home, we come to this provincial capital to beg? Now we don't even have a stutter!"

Bai Zhuo's disbelief made the victims very angry. After all, they were very unlucky to encounter such a situation, but no one was willing to believe them, not even a little bit of sympathy.

Seeing that the victims became emotional, Bai Zhuo quickly shut up, not daring to ask any further questions.

But at this moment, the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city finally pushed the victims away.The first person came to the front of the carriage.

"Where are you from?"

"He's from the capital."

"Then go in."

The officers and soldiers of the guards did not conduct too many interrogations, they just asked Song Wuya where they came from, and then let them in directly.

The guards helped to widen the road for them, and the carriage slowly entered the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Bai Zhuo said nervously: "Brother Wu Ya, there really is a plague here!"

"It's hard to say. Although it was said by the victims, we haven't confirmed it with our own eyes." Song Wuya shook his head, not particularly believing what the victims said.

"This coming and going has completely confused me, and I don't even know who to believe." Bai Zhuo said distressedly.

After they came out of Shanyang County, there were so many contradictions in what they saw and heard along the way, it was impossible to judge anything from them.

Huai'an Mansion is also a lively place. The scene outside the city is really vivid. As soon as I entered the city, I could hear the bustle inside the city.

Not far from the gate of the city, there were people coming and going, all kinds of vendors on the side of the road were everywhere, and the sound of hawking and bargaining was mixed together.

"What's going on here?" Bai Zhuo looked around in surprise, "This place is completely different from the scene in Shanyang County!"

"That's right! I didn't think of it either. It seems that they didn't dare to attack the Huai'an Mansion either! Maybe they have other intentions!" Song Wuya also said with emotion.

Originally, they thought that the scene in Huai'an Prefecture was exactly the same as that in Shanyang County, but they didn't expect to see a completely different scene after they came here.

Shanyang County and Huai'an Mansion are two completely different worlds, forming a great contrast.

"Brother Wu Ya, I think we should start with the victims outside the city. Since they said they fled here because of the plague, isn't that what we want to investigate?" Bai Zhuo looked at the scene in front of him and asked Song Wuya said.

Song Wuya nodded: "That's right, but I asked the victims just now, and the answers I got from them can explain some problems. But right now they are all eager to enter the city, but the city The gate blocked them again. Tell me, how long can they persist outside the city?"

Speaking of those victims, Song Wuya was quite worried.They disagreed with the officers and soldiers of the city defense that they couldn't survive and wanted to go to the city to beg for food.As for the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, they were worried that they would bring the plague into the city after entering the city.

As a result, it was completely deadlocked, but Song Wuya also saw some problems from here.At least in Huai'an Mansion, Guanshan Restaurant is not bold enough to make this place Shanyang County.And they also prevented those victims from entering the city, perhaps because they were really worried that the plague would spread.

"I think we should find a place to stay first, and then discuss how to proceed with this matter."

Now is not the time to rush to solve this matter. They have just arrived here, they are unfamiliar with the place, and they haven't figured out the situation here yet.At least settle down first, and then think about other things.

The others nodded and agreed with Song Wuya's statement.

Soon, everyone separated and settled down in the same inn.

In the room, although it was almost noon, they didn't eat anything in the morning, and they were not in a hurry to order food, but sat together and discussed the next thing to do.

"I think there might really be a plague!" Song Wuya said as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although the cause of death reported by the local officials did indeed say plague, but now they really haven't found any signs of plague along the way.

"Brother Wu Ya, do you believe the words of those disaster victims?" Bai Zhuo asked with some doubts. "We've been walking this way. Although we saw strange things in Shanyang County, we didn't see any signs of the plague. We didn't even see a dead person or a new grave!"

Bai Zhuo questioned this, and Song Wuya naturally had a reason for saying this.

"The cause of death reported by the local officials was the plague. Although we have only found strange things in Shanyang County along the way, we have not seen any traces of the plague. But what the peasant woman said, and the city gate These disaster victims can also confirm what I said before. In addition, the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city prevent those disaster victims from entering, which may also explain the problem."

After speaking out his own analysis, Bai Zhuo also nodded.

The matter of the plague was definitely not just speculation, and Song Wuya believed even more that it was true.

But up to now, they still can't imagine what the Guanshan Restaurant wants to do.So many people were arrested, not because of the control of the plague.And they all died in the same place, and the bodies were not buried.Although there are a large number of people, in order to avoid the spread of the plague, it is normal to bury them.

Thinking about this question, Song Wuya suddenly woke up!

"Could it be! Guanshan Restaurant is going to create a plague?"

As soon as Song Wuya said these words, the others were immediately taken aback.

"No way!" Empress Bai looked at Song Wuya in complete disbelief, feeling that this was impossible. "What are they making the plague for? What good can it do them?"

"Yeah! What good will it do them? I can't figure it out either!" Song Wuya frowned and shook his head.

"Could it be that Guanshan Restaurant also covets the throne? They want to create chaos within the imperial court so that they can win the throne?" Situ Wen said suddenly.

Hearing Situ Wen's speculation, Song Wuya took a look at Bai Zhuo, thinking that this might be possible.

The members of Guanshan Restaurant are all powerful people, and their desire to control power is definitely stronger than ordinary people.And the one with supreme power is naturally the emperor, and it is inevitable that they will have the idea of ​​wanting to win the throne.

"Is this unlikely?" Bai Zhuo's face changed, and he questioned. He didn't know whether he thought it was impossible, or he couldn't believe that the people in Guanshan Restaurant had such a plan.

But Song Wuya felt that this was entirely possible, he looked up at Situ Wen: "Wen'er, maybe it is true as you said. However, this matter still needs to be verified. At least they don't have military power in their hands right now. ah!"

Based on Song Wuya's understanding, he felt that Guanshan Restaurant should have no military power, and these people were all civil servants, not military officials.

The reason why Song Wuya knew these things was not from his speculation, but from the investigation of the imperial guards.Of course, the guard's investigation is not completely accurate, but at least the credibility is still very high.Perhaps their existence was originally intended to control these ministers in the court, so no one can know this better than them.

?Chapter 9 and six, Mrs. Chu

"Hey! Guest officers, I'm really sorry, this shop is already full."

Song Wuya and the others, after talking in the room, felt their stomachs were empty, and went downstairs to the inn, ready to eat something.

Just came down from the room on the second floor, and was about to greet Xiaoer and the others when he saw Xiaoer standing in front of the door.

The few people outside the door looked like they had traveled a long way, and they couldn't help frowning when they heard what the waiter said.

"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look."

The leader of the four or five people nodded at the waiter, then turned and left the inn.

Watching them leave, Bai Zhuo then greeted: "Xiaoer, come here."
