Chapter 27 Conspiracy?

At dusk, the dog came back. The news brought was that the only luck left in Mingyue's heart was broken. Not only did the plague appear in Xiantai Prefecture City, but it even spread throughout the city.

The first thing that appeared in the north of the city was the west, the east, and finally the south of the city. The way the plague occurred was extremely strange. There was no sign of sign before, and suddenly he started vomiting and diarrhea. In less than two hours, he couldn't do it.

Yesterday, the city was calm, but after only one day, the Xiantai Mansion turned into a purgatory on earth. In the words of Gouzi, today, there were no less than three hundred people dead in the Xiantai Mansion.

And this seems to be just the beginning. This time the plague came extremely suddenly, but what is puzzling is that the government's reaction speed was faster than expected.

Just in the morning, after the first plague occurred in the city, a yamen came to take the patient away and said it was quarantine. Outside the mass grave in the west of the city, there was a abandoned military camp, which was the place for quarantine.

Mingyue listened to Gouzi's statement, and suddenly a ridiculous thought appeared in her mind. The government wouldn't have received a notice for this plague, right? Or is it the government also a participant?

Mingyue immediately ordered Mingfu to close the door from now on and not allow anyone to enter and exit! Mingfu has his own well water and never drinks the water of Minghe River. Therefore, Mingyue is not worried that who in the mansion will be unlucky to get infected with the plague.

Now, as long as we do a good job of isolating Mingfu and disinfecting and sterilizing, Mingyue is not as panicked as others.

After dealing with all this, Mingyue returned to the room and changed into a dark isolation suit. When she walked out of the yard, she didn't expect Mingxiu to wait for Mingyue outside the yard. Looking at Mingxiu's thin figure, Mingyue's steps stopped.

Such a thing happened, Mingyue shouldn't have gone out, especially Mingyue, who is the only male in the Ming family, shouldn't have taken risks alone.

"father……"

"Are you going out?" Ming Xiu's voice was very soft, and he didn't seem to question Mingyue, but just asked casually.

"Well... I can't figure out some things. I want to go and see them, even if they are just the tip of the iceberg..."

"You have always been independent, so you rarely make any decisions for you in recent years, and even entrust your business to you almost all. What you want to do, but you want you to know that you are not just yourself, but you have the entire Ming family on your shoulders.

I know that you are kind and filial to your father. If you have something to do, your father will not be able to hold on. Without our care, I dare not imagine what Qingqing will do in the future. For this family, you must come back safely."

"Dad, I know, I just go and check it out and I'll be back soon!" As he said that, Mingyue gently covered the black robe above her head, revealing only her two eyes. She looked at Ming Xiu deeply, turned around and walked towards the backyard of Ming Mansion.

After leaving Ming Mansion, Mingyue headed straight to the isolation area in the west of the city. The dark night was so deadly that the whole world seemed to be shrouded in the breath of death. Even though it was already April, it made Mingyue feel cold from the heart.

There is a mass grave in the west of the city. Whether it is a wealthy family or a poor family, their relatives are buried here when they die. There are long ghost fires floating in the mass grave, and the air seems to be more sticky than elsewhere.

When Mingyue came outside the quarantine area in the west of the city, she happened to see a group of yamen runners carrying a team of bodies out of the quarantine area. After looking at it, there were about twenty people.

The team moved quietly but quickly, like a film movie without sound. For a moment, Mingyue felt a little weird, but she didn't find anything wrong for a moment.

Until he saw the faces of these yamen runners, Mingyue finally realized it.

These yamen runners were blindfolded. The two of them were carrying a corpse in front and back. They could walk vigorously like flying with their eyes? This is obviously a problem.

What’s even more strange is that these yamen runners did not take any isolation measures. In the isolation area where plagues are rampant, the yamen runners do not seem to be worried about being infected by the plague?

Because of doubt, Mingyue gave up entering the quarantine area to observe and chose to track this group of yamen runners. With Mingyue's martial arts, it is easy to follow silently.

The team did not go to the mass grave, but walked directly to the west. Following the direction of the team, Mingyue's heart became even more confused. Going westward, it was the scope of Heifeng Village. Is the government planning to use the plague to trap Heifeng Village?

After traveling west for seven or eight miles, the yamen runners suddenly stopped and put down the body. Then they turned around strangely, holding one by one on the shoulders, and quickly walked back.

"Is their purpose to send these bodies here?"

After the yamen runners left, soon torches appeared in Liefeng Valley. Soon, the people from Heifeng Village appeared, and everyone seemed to be holding a bottle in their hands.

After coming to the corpse, he began to walk around the corpse, chanting some scriptures while walking. Soon, green figures emerged from the corpse, and more than a dozen figures were sucked into the bottle like blue smoke.

After everything was done, the people from Heifeng Village stacked the bodies neatly together, poured tinder oil on them, lit a fire and turned around and left.

Although I don’t know what they are doing, this is enough, enough to let Mingyue understand why and why the government responded so quickly, and there is no other explanation except that I already knew the outbreak of the plague.

Thinking of this, Mingyue showed a sneer on her face, "No wonder she had no result in three months of help... It turned out that she had already colluded with each other..."

He carefully retreated and left, and when he returned to Ming Mansion, he had already had half a month of up to three o'clock. After returning to the room, Mingyue sorted out the information he saw and guessed the whole story in his mind.

Why did the four great enemies suddenly become fierce before? This question has been puzzled, but it is said that there must be an adventure. Now it seems that the so-called adventure should be that little bottle.

The things Mingyue saw absorbed by the bottle should be the soul of the human being. The four great enemies should have obtained some secret technique, which can become powerful in a short time by collecting human beings' souls.

This can also explain why the four major bandits suddenly became so cruel. If they take action, they would never leave any living. Wangjia Village was originally poor, and it was impossible to loot such a village, but the four major bandits still slaughtered Wangjia Village in a cruel way. Then the purpose must be for the soul.

When Mingyue thought of this, she suddenly raised her voice nervously, "The government banned Xiantai, and the four major enemies also banned Xiantai Mansion... Could it be... she planned to use the entire Xiantai Mansion as a sacrifice?

Then this plague... is the butcher knife they raised against the Xiantai Mansion? Even the four great bandits were too lazy to use the sword, but directly used a weapon like a plague that killed a large area.

"No, you must leave immediately! You must escape from Xiantai before the four major gangs have become stronger."

When the sky was just dawn, Mingyue made up her mind.

Xiantai Mansion was completely in panic, and at this moment, there were crowds of people running away with fear and fleeing. They carried their luggage and pushed carts to the four city gates, as if they were planning to escape from Xiantai. However, the city gates that the government had already blocked were not allowed to enter and exit Xiantai until the plague completely stopped.

When the whole city was in panic, the Ming family showed the most restrained and calm. This was not because the Ming family was not afraid of plague, but because the Ming family isolated itself from the Immortal Platform and did not contact people, and they did not understand how plague outside had already spread.

In the early morning, Mingyue hurried to Mingxiu's room, "Dad, have you gotten up?"

"Yue'er, come in, dad didn't sleep all night last night!"

Mingyue pushed open the door and saw Mingxiu sitting quietly by the round table. The table was filled with the spiritual cards of his mother and Erniang.

"Dad, we are leaving!" Mingyue did not hesitate and directly expressed her plans.

"Let's go... it's okay... Now that the plague is flooding, staying here will be dead... But the four major enemies outside... Yue'er, are you sure?"

"The child does his best. If it really doesn't work, I will protect my father and Qingqing to break through alone. I don't believe that a fast horse cannot win the Liefeng Valley?"

"If things are not done, you will take Qingqing away. Dad is old and can pull you up. Dad's life mission has been completed." As he said that, Ming Xiu slowly took out a brocade box from the bed, and after opening it, a stack of silver notes lie quietly inside.

"This is a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, all the assets of my Ming family. Those shops cannot be exchanged for money, so my father can only leave you with such a little money. Now I'll give it to you!"

"Dad, no need! Putting the silver notes on it affects my actions. Dad, then I'll inform you to make preparations." Mingyue smiled faintly. He didn't take much attention to money, or money was basically within his reach.

With Mingyue’s unequal information ability, even if he starts from scratch, he can earn enough money in a very short time.

"Notify the servant? Do you want to take this big ticket with you? Shouldn't you be more lightweight?"

"Liefeng Valley is a level that we must pass. No matter how many people there are, we cannot escape the eyeliner of Heifeng Village. Instead of doing this, it is better to bring everyone with us. At the critical moment, we can escape the shell and confuse their goals!"

“Okay—”

After receiving Ming Xiu's nod, Mingyue immediately bowed and took the initiative to escape from the immortal platform while the whole city is in chaos. She just opened the door but bumped into Qiaodie head-on.

"Ah! The eldest young master... the eldest young master, it's not good... the lady is sick..."

"Are you sick?" Mingyue's face suddenly turned aside. When she was sick at this time, Mingyue suddenly had some bad premonitions.

"Miss woke up this morning and suddenly started to have a fever... and she vomited and pulled... Looking at the symptoms... it seemed... it was a plague..."

"What?" Before Mingyue could speak, Ming Xiu screamed nervously. Suddenly, Ming Xiu felt dizzy and was about to fall down with his forehead.
