Chapter 987 Legendary Life 53.0
"Plague?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, and carefully recalled the dossiers he had read, "It seems... there was such an outbreak, it lasted for a short time, but the casualties were quite heavy. I remember that plague. The conclusion given by the master is that it appeared inexplicably and ended inexplicably, but it caused the annihilation of more than a dozen villages and towns. After this plague passed, these places began to gradually become deserted, not in the next few decades. Some people migrated from various places, and these places have long been deserted."

"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "Because of the lessons learned from that time, medical bureaus have been arranged in various state capitals. Once signs of plague are found, they will report to Beijing as quickly as possible, and on the other hand, they can Deal with it." He looked at the people in the room, "Facts have proved that this decision is correct. Over the years, although there have been situations, they were suppressed in time and there was no large-scale spread."

"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "However, when did King Tong know about this?"

"In the second year after the plague, the clerk of Guyun Silk and Satin Village appeared in front of King Tong with the jade pendant he gave to the young master and a letter. The letter was written by the young master before he passed away. I wrote all my last wishes in it. I don’t know why this letter was handed over to King Tong after a year, but it can be regarded as returning to the original owner. After reading the letter, King Tong himself said , I felt particularly uncomfortable at the time."

"Indeed." Jin Miaomiao and Shen Cha looked at each other, "Although during his long life journey, the people around him, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, whether they are relatives, enemies, or others Everyone left him slowly. Just like what we said before, he will be left alone in this world in the end, it would be strange if he could feel better."

"It's not just for this reason." Shen Cha glanced at Jin Miaomiao, "There is another reason, that is, this young master is a bit like the little prince when he was young, both in terms of temperament and appearance. This is also the reason why he gave the jade pendant to the little prince. Hearing that the child had disappeared suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He felt uncomfortable when the child who had only been with him for more than a month or two months was gone. If the child who grew up by his side is ahead of him, he really dare not even think about it."

"That's right, no one can accept such a thing." Jin Miaomiao stretched her waist, "Where was he when he received the news? Southwestern border?"

"En!" Shen Cha nodded, "Before he and Emperor Chongde bought a small courtyard in a small town near Jingwei Pass, it was still bought in the name of Gu Yun's young master's family. Opened a branch store, the shopkeeper and the staff are either from the palace, or the guards around King Tong, and the hidden guards who have retreated. Before King Tong arrived in the town, Gu Yun's people had already received the news and returned everything. Set it up. When the deputy general accompanied King Tong to the town, they will move in directly."

"Jingweiguan..." Jin Miaomiao rubbed her chin, "Why did you get there? It's not peaceful at all times!" She looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Uncle Qin used to be Didn’t you also guard the Jingwei Pass?”

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded lightly, "It's not long, just..." He looked at Shen Cha, "Eight or nine months? Then they were transferred away. In that place, tribes big and small There are more than a hundred of them, large and small frictions and disputes happen all the time, ranging from ordinary people fighting in a tribe to a few tribes fighting to the death, if the frontier troops stationed are not strong enough, it may not be what the situation is! "

"King Tong stayed at Jingwei Pass, which was very good for the frontier army at that time. In case of any accident, the people around him will be strong support." Shen Cha took a deep breath , "Tong Wang also thinks so, and he can help a little bit."

"How long has he been locked up in Jingwei?"

"That time is really not short, it will take four or five years. That place has always been the place he and Emperor Chongde wanted to live the most. Although it is not peaceful, it is far away from Xijing and the turmoil in the court hall. It has nothing to do with them at all, and the two of them can be quiet and quiet. Even if Emperor Chongde didn't come, King Tong felt that if he could stay for a while longer, he could replace Emperor Chongde and see everything he hadn't seen before. .”

"The idea is quite good, but King Tong has the kind of physique where accidents happen wherever he goes. He has been imprisoned in Jingwei for so many years, and accidents have happened a lot, right?" Jin Miaomiao smirked. Looking at the people in the room, "So, what kind of strange thing did you encounter?"

"Isn't it!" Song Yaojia waved his hands and said with a headache, "On the first night in this town, I encountered a strange thing. After a while, everyone fell asleep, and King Tong went to bed. He vaguely heard a slight tinkling sound from the direction of the backyard wall. Wrapped in a cotton robe, he beckoned the two guards on duty to go to that place. The smaller the wall, the less movement there is, and one of the guards will lightly jump up to the top of the wall when it is approaching."

"See what?"

"The three thieves are squatting outside, using a small shovel or something, digging out the bricks on the wall bit by bit, digging so carefully and carefully that they don't even know someone is coming, Tong That's where the chattering voices Wang heard in his bedroom came from."
