Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 48 Half of the Plan

Time passes day by day.

Mummies are still appearing at a steady rate of one case per day.

Panic became the main theme.

Especially when the common people realized that 'the weak die first', the elderly inevitably developed the courage to escape from Canglong.

Yes, courage.

In this era, it is extremely serious for civilians to easily leave the place of household registration.

If it is light, it will be demoted as a craftsman, and future generations will not be able to stand up.

At worst, exile for thousands of miles and serve as a military slave is worse than death.

People would not have this idea if they were not really forced to do nothing.

Even fleeing has become a kind of courage, how cruel is this?
However, more cruel is yet to come.

When these old people came to the city gate with the few treasures and the courage to leave their hometown, they found that the city gate had already been blocked.

Only allowed in but not out.

Whether it's crying, making trouble, or lying, it doesn't work.

Those yamen servants were forced to rush, and they didn't do anything to these old people, but directly drew out their waist knives and handed over the hilts.

The meaning is obvious.

If you want to go out of the city, kill me first, otherwise there will be no talk.

With this attitude, what else can these old people do?

Could it be that he really killed someone?
Lived honestly all his life, but want to be a murderer when he is old?

This is even more unacceptable.

After much deliberation, it seems that the only thing they can do is go home and wait to die.

The upsurge of fleeing was suppressed like this.

In addition, those blood-clothed guards wandering in various streets seemed to be influenced by their superiors, and they began to follow suit.

Dian Shi Ya.

"The brothers said that those people don't go out much anymore, so they live in the original inn."

Zhao Liu reported in the classroom, speaking with disdain.

"It is inevitable that the upper and lower will work."

Xu Chong was not surprised.

Even Fu Yuanlong, the immediate boss, is bad, so where can the people below be active?
Even the initial wandering was probably just for Fu Yuanlong to show.

"In addition, according to your arrangement, every night there will be a romantic woman to accompany them to drink and gamble... The people in the house kept complaining, saying that if this continues, the yamen will be emptied."

As Zhao Liu said, he was a little puzzled, "Actually, I think the adults are a little too worried. In our place, girls from good families don't even know how to dress up. People like them with high-sighted eyes can't be liked."

"It's good just in case."

Xu Chong waved his hand, "Think about it, what if they fall in love with your wife?"

"Uh...it's not enough, is it?"

Zhao Liu's face froze, "My mother-in-law... If it wasn't for the baby kiss I made at the beginning, I would have wanted to befriend her..."

Although he said so, Zhao Liu began to agree with Xu Chong's precautionary measures in his heart.

"In short, it's best to keep them in the inn as much as possible."

Xu Chong rubbed the center of his brows, sighed, "There's only so much we can do..."

"grown ups……"

Zhao Liu was moved, and he murmured for a moment before saying, "You don't have to worry about it now, they will only go out for a walk occasionally during the day, and there are no people at all at night."

"That's good."

Xu Chong nodded, and suddenly asked: "The last time you went to Heishuiwu, is there anyone alive?"

"Have."

Zhao Liu's eyes darkened, "But not many, they are all a little bit stronger. When I went, they all ran to the outside and didn't dare to stay inside anymore."

"In this case……"

Xu Chong squinted his eyes, and his eyes flickered, "Tomorrow, you will bring people over there, and bury those corpses. Don't miss anything."

"Buried?"

Zhao Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "My lord is more thoughtful..."

It is not winter yet, and although the temperature is lower, it cannot completely eliminate the risk of epidemics.

If it is ignored like this, if the plague breaks out and spreads throughout the city, it will definitely be more terrifying than a mummy every day.

……

……

noon the next day.

Zhao Liufeng broke into the Dianshi Yamen in a hurry.

Not long after, Xu Chong went out with something in his hand, and quickly came to the inner hall.

"My lord, I have something to report."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, are you born?"

Fu Yuanlong opened his eyes lazily, "Let's talk about something."

"Lord, please see."

Xu Chong raised the object in his hand and lifted the black cloth covering it.

It was a very common gray mouse.

The only difference is the size.

The size of this mouse is more than five times larger than that of a normal mouse!
"It was sent by the yamen servant, and I feel a little strange..."

Before he finished speaking, the hurricane passed through the hall, blowing Xu Chong's robes in rows.

Fu Yuanlong appeared beside Xu Chong, staring at the mouse: "When did you find it?"

"About half an hour ago, it was already dead when I found it."

Xu Chong answered while paying attention to Fu Yuanlong's expression.

"Half an hour... where did you find it?"

Fu Yuanlong asked, his eyes locked on the giant mouse all the time.

"Blackwater Dock in the southwest."

"Yesterday, I suddenly remembered that a lot of people died before. Heishuiwu is also a slum. If no one cleans it up, there may be a plague, so I sent people to go there today."

"My lord, is there something wrong with this thing?"

Xu Chong raised his hand holding the mouse, and looked at Fu Yuanlong nervously, "If the plague breaks out, given the current situation in the county, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it..."

"Blackwater Dock?"

Fu Yuanlong's eyes moved to Xu Chong's face, with an inexplicable meaning, as if he was weighing something.

Xu Chong was a little scared, "My lord?"

"Well."

Fu Yuanlong finally came to his senses, narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many people know about this?"

"If you don't count the adults and the lower officials, there are only three. The lower officials are afraid that they will catch the epidemic, so they simply put them in the official house, and they are not allowed to have contact with others."

Xu Chong replied, his complexion became more and more tense: "Your Excellency has this question... Could it really be the plague?"

"Well, don't be so nervous."

Fu Yuanlong waved his hands nonchalantly, "In my opinion, the possibility of the plague is very small."

"That's good."

Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and then he let go of the mouse belatedly, and wiped the clothes with his right hand again and again.

"However, just in case, let those servants stay in the official house for a few more days."

Fu Yuanlong seemed to be reminding, and added, "In addition, you'd better stay at home and have less contact with the outside world."

"Yes, the officer knows."

Xu Chong nodded, bent down and prepared to lift the mouse.

"Put it there, I'll let someone deal with it later."

Fu Yuanlong waved his hand, "It's an official household anyway, don't keep doing these things."

Really enthusiastic...

Xu Chong sneered in his heart, bowed and said yes, and left.

So far, half of his plan has been completed.

Fu Yuanlong asked him to go home just in time to finish the other half.

Not long after he left the inner courtyard.

wow~
All the doors and windows of the inner hall were closed at the same time, completely blocking all sight lines.

Fu Yuanlong knelt down in front of the rat corpse, and stretched out his hand to caress it without any scruples, as if stroking a rare treasure.

"Aura...it must be aura!"

"Only spiritual energy can make a beast that doesn't know how to open it grow in size without limit..."

"Inflated so much, this aura... I'm afraid it's enough for people to cultivate to the ninth level of enlightenment!"

Fu Yuanlong's voice trembled a little.

Reiki exists in many places, but the level of concentration is different.

For example, the county government at this time, and the government government and thousands of households in the prefectural city with a higher concentration level.

Among them, he stayed more in Qianhusuo.

Are there all mice in thousands of households?
Yes, he has seen it before.

In terms of size, it was only slightly bigger than an ordinary mouse, and it couldn't be compared with the one in front of it.

After all, Qianhusuo is only a spiritual place, not even the level of a blessed place.

So now comes the problem.

What is it that creates such an exaggerated size of the mouse?

Fu Yuanlong only thought of one.

That treasure!

That piece, the fragment of the cave!
