Rebirth: The little puppet emperor, tearing apart the regent with his own hands

Chen Feng wiped his sweat, stuck his head out of the carriage and asked, "Why haven't you arrived yet? It's too hot today..."

"Sir, the boundary of Qinzhou is not far ahead. It's not far away."

Chen Feng: "Oh, well, it's too hot. I don't know what's going on over there..."

A group of people rushed to Qinzhou in a mighty manner. At the same time, a group of people dressed in casual clothes quietly entered Qinzhou along another road.

As soon as Chen Feng and his party entered Qinzhou, they were warmly welcomed by Jia Xin, the prefect of Qinzhou, at the city gate.

Jia Xin led a group of people into the city. Chen Feng kept observing the residents on both sides of the street and the pedestrians on the road. The more he looked, the more he felt there was something wrong. So I couldn't help but ask: "Why are there so few pedestrians on the road? Where are the infected people?"

The prefect of Qinzhou frowned and sighed and said: "We are all isolated in the post station. The weather is too hot and the disease spreads quickly. If we don't concentrate on isolation, there may be big problems. But don't worry, sir, after unremitting efforts, the epidemic has been controlled. Living."

Chen Feng nodded and said: "The epidemic situation is urgent! Take us there quickly. The imperial doctors are also here. Let them take a look quickly."

After taking precautions, Jia Xin led Chen Feng all the way to the inn. As soon as he entered the gate of the inn, Chen Feng saw a large pot of herbs boiling in the yard. The door to the room was nailed shut, leaving only a small vent. Someone was lying on the vent watching the people outside. .

There were only about twenty rooms in the inn, and each room contained more than a dozen people. These people had sallow complexions. When they saw Chen Feng and his entourage approaching, they all hid in a huff.

Chen Feng frowned, not understanding what was going on.

Jia Xin looked at Chen Feng's face and said quickly: "They are also afraid of infecting adults. Your status is precious, so we should leave here quickly."

Chen Feng wanted to ask about the specific situation, but everyone hid, no matter how loud he shouted, he could not make a sound, but Chen Feng had no choice but to nod.

Before leaving, he said: "The imperial court is already aware of your situation. The money for disaster relief has been allocated, and the imperial doctors have also come. Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely save your lives and will not care about the lives of the people." ."

Still no one answered, Chen Feng had no choice but to follow Jia Xin and leave, leaving the doctors from the Imperial Hospital here to check their pulses.

Something was wrong. Chen Feng glanced at Jia Xin beside him. Jia Xin frowned with a worried look on his face, vividly interpreting the image of a prefect serving the country and the people.

But something is still wrong. There are too few people. There is no way that there are only so few people in the epidemic. Counting the entire inn, there are more than 20 rooms, and ten people are locked in each. That's only about 200 people. It's so hot here, and the pedestrians on the road There are so few of them, and the urban area is also very empty. All of these show that this is not the population density that a normal county should have.

So, what about those people? Where have they all gone?

Wu Yan knew where the remaining people had gone, because he was standing not far from those people at the moment, staring at this place that was like a purgatory on earth.

"Master Wu, this..."

Wu Yan remained silent and did not speak, but his pupils were already blood red.

I saw countless people standing or lying in the valley not far ahead. They were of different ages and different appearances, but they had one thing in common. They all had gray faces and despair in their eyes.

They were sallow and thin but had swollen faces, drool dripping from the corners of their mouths, and vomit on the ground.

Some people were lying on it, their bodies still oozing blood, but they still had breath left. Some people have long since rotted and are infested with maggots. Living people and dead people stay together. This scene is simply a purgatory on earth!

"Ugh!" Some people couldn't bear it anymore and began to retching.

"I asked why I didn't see many common people on the road. It turns out they are all here..."

"Master Wu, they are so crazy. Aren't they afraid of being punished by God for doing this?!"

Wu Yan felt his throat tightening, and he murmured: "They were driven here to wait to die..."

"Master Wu, why don't they resist..."

Wu Yan pointed to the exit of the valley: "There are people guarding there, don't poke your head in! They will be discovered! If they make the slightest move, they will be shot to death in the valley."

"How come...Does Qinzhou allow private archers to be raised?"

"Of course it's not allowed. These people are so audacious! They are trying to rebel!"

Wu Yan was silent, his eyes staring closely at the valley over there through the cracks in the rocks.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in his peripheral vision. Wu Yan nodded to Yue Feng. Yue Feng quickly crossed the stone, and then before the man could react, he covered his mouth and pushed him to the ground.

Wu Yan ordered the others to continue staring, then turned around and walked softly and slowly to Yue Feng.

Wu Yan stood still and said to the person who was pressed to the ground: "I will ask Yue Feng to let you go, but once you shout or make any move, I guarantee that he will cut your throat before you act. I agree with you." Just nod."

After a long while, the man nodded slightly, and Wu Yan said: "Let him go."

Yue Feng loosened his hand slightly and released the hand covering the man, but still pressed the man to prevent him from moving.

The man raised his head, and his expression was unclear on his dark face, except for his frighteningly bright eyes. He opened his mouth, and then asked: "Who are you?"

The voice was clear and sweet, it was a woman's voice.

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that this was a girl. When he realized what he was doing, he quickly ordered Yue Feng to let him go. It's not appropriate for a grown man to hold down a little girl.

Wu Yandao: "I am the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. I am here to investigate the cause of the plague. Who are you? What is your name?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment: "Are you the imperial envoy? The one from the prefect's mansion..."

Wu Yan didn't want to reveal too much to her, so he said vaguely: "It's a long story. You haven't told me who you are yet? What are you doing here?"

The little girl said: "You said you are an imperial envoy?"

Wu Yan nodded: "Yes."

The little girl said: "What evidence do you have?"

Wu Yan originally didn't want to say more to her, but thinking that this girl might know something, he took out the imperial envoy's unique token from his body and showed it to the little girl.

Only then did the little girl believe that she was the imperial envoy in front of her. So he knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed with three thuds. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already filled with tears.

She said: "The little girl is a native of Qinzhou, her name is Cuiying. The reason why the little girl came here is because there is a little girl's mother and little brother in the valley over there!"

Wu Yan turned around and glanced at the hell on earth, and then said: "Do you want to rescue them?"

Cuiying nodded and said: "Yes!"

Wu Yan sighed, and then asked: "Have you ever thought about how many people would get sick and die if you rescued them?"

Cuiying gritted her teeth, her eyes widened in anger, and she asked: "Then should they wait there to die?!"
