After listening to Shangguan Ruoli's gentle voice, Dongming Ziyu's body trembled, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and immediately hugged Shangguan Ruoli tightly in his arms, comforting him softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid.

.”

He turned and said to the people blocking the road: "You heroes, what do you think you are doing? We are just returning to the city for a funeral, so you can just do your best. We are still waiting at home!"

Indeed, a plague broke out in Yun County, Linzhou, and many people died.

It is reasonable for relatives who are away from home to go home for funerals!

The leader looked at Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli carefully, and then his eyes fell on Shangguan Ruoli.

The man found it strange that this woman looked somewhat familiar.

But what they are looking for is a man. Besides, if they really meet the person they are looking for, can they still let you interrogate him?

That man is so cruel and ruthless that he never shows mercy.

Thinking of this, the leader asked: "Did you see this person on the way here?"

With a clatter, a picture scroll in his hand opened.

Shangguan Ruoli appeared in front of him wearing white clothes and brocade cannon.

Flowery fish!

Damn it! These people turned out to be looking for her!

Shangguan Ruoli turned a blind eye and just lay in Dongming Ziyu's arms, shaking from time to time, showing off his daughter's timidity to the fullest.

Dongming Ziyu is also very good at acting. He holds the little "Jiao, wife" in his arms, with a sad look on his face and a worried and sad heart.

But my heart was filled with joy. Shangguan Ruoli was usually calm, free and easy, enthusiastic, charming, ruthless, and cold...

But words like delicate, weak, and pitiable have nothing to do with it.

Today is also a new experience for him.

Dongming Ziyu hugged Shangguan Ruoli tightly and shook his head, "We felt sad and were in a hurry. We didn't pay attention to the people walking on the road. We really haven't seen them."

After speaking, he sighed softly and comforted Shangguan Ruoli in his arms, "Don't be afraid, madam, we will go to the city immediately to see my mother one last time."

The man asked reluctantly: "You really haven't seen it before?"

Dongming Ziyu said to everyone: "I've never seen this before. Can you guys make it easier? We're in a hurry to go home. We're going to die from the plague. We really don't dare to leave people at home for too long."

The plague is prevalent and must be controlled quickly and not carelessly.

The leader waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli got on their horses and ran towards the city.

When they were far away, Dongming Ziyu slowly reined in the horse and said, "My wife is so weak, my husband's heart is as soft as a puddle of water."

Thinking of her tender voice for her husband just now, Dongming Ziyu felt a chill running down his spine.

I was used to hearing Shangguan Ruoli's shameless teasing, and it was really too much to suddenly become so soft!

Shangguan Ruoli was not in the mood to tease him, "I don't know who these people are, why are they looking for Hua Xiaoyu in such a big way?"

If it's an assassination, shouldn't it be done secretly?

Her route was heading south, and people inside Meihua Pavilion knew that she was coming to the state.

Plum Blossom Pavilion also has spies near Yunxia Mountain. If they come to pick her up, there is really no need.

Dongming Ziyu said: "I can't guess it either. Don't contact the people in Meihua Pavilion first. Let's check the situation first."

"Yeah." Shangguan Ruoli nodded.

Dongming Ziyu held the reins of the horse with one hand and clamped her waist with the other. The city gate was right in front of them, and their speed became even slower.

After a brief interrogation by the soldiers at the city gate, the two of them entered the city safely.

The city was full of patrolling officers and soldiers, and from time to time there were sounds of crying, probably because someone in the family had died, so they were extremely sad.

It can be seen that the plague is more serious than imagined and has spread from Yun County to Linzhou.

Dongming Ziyu led the horse, and Shangguan Ruoli followed beside him, his eyes quickly scanning around.

Many people wearing white mourning clothes carried away the corpses wrapped in cloth, probably to be sent to be destroyed collectively. The family members were crying heartbrokenly beside them, but at this time, there was really nothing they could do.

The officers and soldiers now wear masks and search from house to house.

Some family members can't bear to have their relatives quarantined, so they naturally refuse to hand them over easily. But if they don't hand them over, the whole family will be infected. The family members feel that they can be quarantined themselves, so they refuse to let the family members leave home.

At this time, there will be resistance to the coercive measures, making it difficult to implement. The prefect can only ask officers and soldiers to search.

At this time, we can only use cruel methods to prevent the plague from spreading and causing even greater disasters.

His Royal Highness King Xuan, the imperial envoy, will arrive soon. If the epidemic situation becomes more serious, he will be doomed to fail in his duty.

Shangguan Ruoli stood there, watching the officers and soldiers pull a child out of his mother's arms and take him away by force.

The mother cried so hard that she hugged the officer's legs and refused to let go. Finally, three or five officers and soldiers pulled her aside and finally gave up.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at her mother's miserable appearance intently, and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. She had never had a mother in her two lives, and she was both envious and longing for her.

The most pitiable thing in the world is the heart of parents.

"Let's go!" Dongming Ziyu's expression did not change, he still looked cold and heartless.

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, they arrived two or three days earlier than the main force, so during this period, they first checked the situation in Linzhou City.

When it comes to the plague situation, imperial officials will definitely minimize the serious matter and make it a trivial matter. It is best to calm down the matter.

Therefore, if you want to hear the truth, you have to go deep into the people and ask ordinary people.

Dongming Ziyu took Shangguan Ruoli to the door of a restaurant. The restaurant had already closed down.

It’s this time, who will come to eat?

People in Linzhou City fled as much as they could. Those who couldn't escape with their families could only stay and wait to die.

Dongming Ziyu used his knuckled hands to knock on the door, knocking twice with three long and two short knocks.

The door opened a crack, and a waiter stuck his head out.

Dongming Ziyu showed his token, and the waiter quickly opened the door.

Dongming Ziyu quickly led Shangguan Ruoli through the door. The waiter quickly took the reins of the horse and led the horse away.

In the private room on the second floor, Dongming Ziyu stood at the window, his cold eyes scanning the chaos on the street without warmth.

The shopkeeper trotted in, knelt down and saluted, "I'd like to inform you, Prince, there's chaos in Linzhou City now. The officials didn't dare to report it to the court, but they couldn't do anything about the plague. Fortunately, the prince sent people in time to control the plague.

After the charter was sent, the streets were full of officers and soldiers arresting people and quarantining them. Otherwise, we don’t know how many people would die from this plague!"

Shangguan Ruoli frowned and asked, "Where is the source of the disease in Yun County?"

She wanted to know where such a serious plague started.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "It's a place called Huaihua Village in Yun County. Because it is the origin of the disease, it has been blocked by the government. Our spies can't go there. We don't know what is going on there."

"

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Then where are these quarantined people sent?"
