Chapter 109 Dead City

"Okay, you guys go back first," Yue Li shouted outside, "If I need someone, I will naturally call you. Don't stay with me all the time."

"Yes." The maids all went down.

After the basin of hot water Yue Li was cleaned, it turned into flesh-colored. She sent the maid away in order not to expose herself.

But what she had to do with this basin of water was to prevent everyone from being suspicious. She looked around the room. Fortunately, there were several wealth trees in the bedroom, which gave her a place to wash her face.

Yue Li poured the pots of hot water into the flower pots and breathed a sigh of relief. Now her task is to find out what is in the Cao Mansion?

She couldn't forget the scene last night. Why did Mr. Cao, who was normal during the day, become so dull at night, like a puppet. If someone controls him, who is the one who controls him?

Yue Li racked her brains to think, but this thing could not be thought of by thinking alone.

At this time, the Cao Mansion was like a huge black hole, standing there quietly with countless secrets. They lived here, not knowing whether they were going to die or discover something new here.

After dinner, Ye Qin brought Yue Li and Song Shu to the yamen. The yamen was indeed as old ghost said, and there was only one master who was trying hard to support it.

As soon as they entered, there was not even a constable.

"Sir, you're finally here, I can't hold on any longer." A man in patched clothes rushed forward and wanted to pounce at Ye Qin's feet immediately.

"Are you?" Ye Qin was a little confused.

"I am the master here." The man hugged Ye Qin's thigh and wanted to be a vase and not get off.

"Oh, it turns out it's Master. Thank you for your hard work. What are you going to do now?" Ye Qin nodded, thinking of helping Master up.

"Stop talking about it, sir, I have been supporting here for half a year. I think I will not be able to support it soon. sir, please save me, and find someone to resolve the plague." The master said nothing.

Ye Qin was a little helpless, "I came here to solve the plague this time, but if you don't explain it clearly to me, I don't know what's going on."

The master cried with a sad face: "Okay, I'll say."

It turned out that the previous prefect died of a plague. So he could only live honestly in front of the agent, but he couldn't hold on like this. Now he felt exhausted, so Ye Qin came.

Ye Qin could see that he was more eager to run away.

Seeing the master's appearance, Ye Qin knew that he was really exhausted and didn't say anything. "Thank you so hard, sir."

"No, no, no, no," the master waved his hand quickly, and he raised his face, "This is all about dedicating his strength to the court, how could it be hard?"

Yue Li rolled her eyes: It’s not hard, you are saying so wronged.

The group was taken to the yamen. The master looked at the stack of official documents on the case and smiled with a shy face: "I wonder if sir, can it?"

"What can?"

"I can help, this really makes me exhausted!" The master's acting skills are a bit exaggerated.

"Okay, then you bring it over. I want to see if everything has stopped during the plague. Why are there so many documents left?" Ye Qin also wanted to know what happened in the city recently.

Yue Li and Song Shu had nothing to do, so they just wandered around the yamen, but they felt a little weird when they were walking around. It felt like they were in the Cao Mansion. Everything was natural, but something was wrong, as if this master was really with them acting.

Acting? Yes, what if these people are acting? If the people in this city are acting, who has such great power to control the people in the city?

Yue Li shivered. She couldn't imagine who was planning all this behind the scenes.

Song Shu was patrolling around there. The yamen was already dilapidated. The disgusting stench came from outside and made her realize that this place was about to turn into a dead city.

The two of them walked around, and when they came back, they held all their confusion in their hearts and listened carefully to what the master said.

The master has now sat in front of Ye Qin and smiled: "Sir, it's not me that there was a severe drought in Fangzhou before, but the imperial court's disaster relief food has not been released, so many people died. Then a plague suddenly broke out. What's going on now?"

"Why didn't the drought relief food not arrive?" Ye Qin actually knew it in his heart.

The master looked around mysteriously and said to him, "It is said that the adults had greedy for a lot of food before, but he was greedy for flowers without life. This would cause the plague and die."

Ye Qin nodded, "Then do you know where this plague came from?"

"I heard from the doctor in the city that the bodies of people who were starved to death in the city were rotten, and then a large-scale plague was caused." The master answered truthfully.

"No, it's like this hot day, why don't you collect the bones? Let them rot on the street and plagues break out?" Yue Li asked.

When the master saw the ordinary person next to him, he was about to speak out and choke back, but when he saw Song Shu standing respectfully aside, he knew that the identity of this man was not simple.

He quickly changed his expression: "You don't know, sir! It's not that we don't want to collect the burial, but that the residents in the city don't want to collect the burial! It's not that he doesn't want to. The burial was a burial for one burial. One burial was enough for ordinary people to spend more than half a year. Everyone is suffering from disaster. Who has the money to collect the burial? If you don't have money, you can only expose it to the sun on the street."

"So this caused a large-scale plague?" Yue Li felt that it was not a plague, but she didn't say it. "Then are there any corpses in the morgue now?"

"Some, some of them are still left with some unburned corpses. I dare not enter the corpse alone, so I can only leave it there."

"Okay, take me over." Yue Li said to the master, who waved his hand quickly, "Sir, this plague is going to be contagious. If you get infected when you go in, what if there is a big or small thing, how can I explain it to the court!"

"You don't need to explain. Do you want the plague to continue to spread in Fangzhou City? Do you want Fangzhou to become a dead city?" Yue Li's tone gradually became sharp, as if he was questioning.

The master looked at her look a little scared, "But, but."

"But what? Is it worth saving them tens of thousands of lives with my life?" The master stopped talking.

Ye Qin glanced at Yue Li, his eyes full of worry, "Or don't go."
