Driving the carriage, Wu Yunsheng arrived outside the Chief Envoy's Yamen in a state of shock.
For local officials like this, the remote appointment system was strictly implemented, so the chief envoy Cheng Wenguang was not a native of Longyou.
In order to facilitate the daily life of these officials, the imperial court built a house behind the official office, and Cheng Wenguang lived behind the Chief Envoy's Yamen.
At this moment, Wu Yunsheng was not sure where Chengwen was, so he got off the carriage himself and went to ask questions.
"Can Sir Fantai be in the Yamen?"
The government servant guarding the gate had a pair of sharp eyes, so it was not difficult to recognize the identity of Wu Yunsheng, the great master.
"Wu Yuanwai, you came just in time. Your Excellency is in the Yamen at the moment!" the Yamen servant replied with a smile.
Wu Yunsheng nodded and entered the gate directly. He was also able to walk without hindrance here.
Because the matter was urgent, Wu Yunsheng walked all the way to the Chief Envoy's Yamen without waiting for anyone to report.
Now that the city is under martial law, there are not many people in the Yamen, so Wu Yunsheng met almost no one along the way.
It wasn't until he came to Houya that he met an official on duty.
"Is Master Fantai here?" Wu Yunsheng asked.
"Is there something going on outside, Mr. Wu?" the official asked.
"Something big happened in Erliufang. I want to see Lord Fantai!" Wu Yunsheng said solemnly.
This is an extraordinary time, and the officials on duty dare not neglect the so-called major events that occur at this time.
"Commissioner, please follow me!"
Following the official outside the lobby, Wu Yunsheng finally came to Cheng Wenguang after passing the notice.
"Brother Wu, what happened?" Cheng Wenguang asked solemnly.
At this moment, there was no time to say polite words, Wu Yunsheng said bluntly: "Sir, a large number of crazy monsters have appeared in the Hujia Alley of Erliu Fang!"
There are two key words in Wu Yunsheng's words, one is a large amount, and the other is a crazy monster.
During the past few days of martial law in the city, the government has dealt with many incidents of monsters injuring people, but the scale was relatively small and therefore controllable.
So when he heard Wu Yunsheng's words, Cheng Wenguang immediately changed his mind.
"How many are there? Where exactly?" Cheng Wenguang stood up and asked.
"At that time, I was only focused on escaping and didn't see how many there were... at least more than twenty!"
This number was estimated by Wu Yunsheng, but he was by no means a random estimate, because the Hu family usually had about twenty people stationed in the granary.
Now that this granary has become the lifeblood of the Hu family, they will definitely send more manpower, so the number of zombies will only be more than twenty.
"So many..." Cheng Wenguang's heart trembled.
Erliufang is so big, and there are more than 20 zombies scattered in it. It is very difficult to take them down.
When we were dealing with one or two cases before, there were a lot of accidents in the yamen, and once again an officer almost lost his life.
In Cheng Wenguang's view, killing monsters requires professionals, and the only professionals in the city who are considered professionals are the people from Prince Yong's Mansion.
Looking for help from Prince Yong's Mansion... Cheng Wenguang can't make the decision on this matter, he has to take Tian Jingtong's attitude into consideration.
On the surface, it seems that the relationship between the government and the royal family is harmonious, and there is even the appearance of full cooperation.
But Cheng Wenguang knows very well that this kind of harmony only exists on the surface, and the estrangement and distrust between the two sides are very serious.
Apart from anything else, the fact that Tian Jingtong was kidnapped was not so easy to uncover, let alone how many people's interests the palace had invisibly harmed.
Looking at the officials serving at the side, Cheng Wenguang said in a deep voice: "Go and report this to the governor. If he asks about me, just tell him that I went to Erliu Fang!"
"As you command!"
At this time, Cheng Wenguang also knew that he could not waste too much time and the situation in Erliu Fang must be controlled as much as possible.
After all, no one wants monsters to break out in the city, and no one will survive.
To control the situation, Cheng Wenguang couldn't go alone, so he immediately summoned the officers at the Yamen.
There are only so many people in the yamen. Even if the manpower in other places is reduced as much as possible, only twenty or thirty people can be summoned.
There were twenty or thirty zombies in Erliufang. It was impossible to control the situation by summoning these twenty or thirty government officials, so Cheng Wenguang had to summon manpower.
And now the only people who can help in terms of manpower are the powerful people like Yuanyang.
"Wu Yunsheng, I'm afraid I have to trouble you!" Cheng Wenguang said solemnly, and at this moment, he also called Wu Yunsheng Yuanwai.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Wu Yunsheng said: "Master Cheng, please do your best!"
As long as you look a little further, you will know that helping the Yamen control the situation is saving your own life.
After Wu Yunsheng left, Cheng Wenguang also sat in a sedan and rushed to Erliu Fang as quickly as possible with more than 20 officers he had summoned.
There are four gates in Erliu Fang. The first one you arrive at when driving from Beicheng is the north gate of Erliu Fang.
At this moment, four officers were guarding the north gate of Erliu Fang, each holding a sword as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
When they heard movement in the distance and turned around to see someone coming from the Yamen, their hearts dropped.
Soon, Cheng Wenguang and his party arrived at the north gate.
After getting off the sedan chair and looking at the decaying gate, Cheng Wenguang felt worried.
Can this thing really stop those monsters?
At this moment, Cheng Wenguang could still hear the screams coming from the shop, the sound was not loud but extremely harsh.
This can only mean one thing, the monster inside is already biting and eating people!
"See you, sir!" the officer who stayed here saluted.
"There are monsters raging inside, has anyone climbed over the wall?" Cheng Wenguang asked in a stern tone.
"Replying to your Majesty, you guys didn't see anyone climbing over the wall!" the leading police officer replied.
With just a few of them, it was impossible to monitor Erliu Fang, so they could only answer like this.
"Five more people from each of the remaining sects will patrol outside Erliu Fang. If any monsters escape, report them immediately!"
Following Cheng Wenguang's order, the officials leading the team would arrange manpower, and in the end only fifteen or sixteen people were left at the north gate of Erliu Fang.
Seeing the panic on the officers' faces, Cheng Wenguang knew that it was very unwise to let these people enter the workshop to deal with the monsters.
It's okay for these officers to suppress the common people, but it would be really difficult for them to let them fight the monsters.
"Perhaps we can ask the capital to send troops here!" Cheng Wenguang muttered in a low voice. He had thought about this just now.
But Dusi also has a very heavy task. They are responsible for the defense of the Yuanyang City Wall. Almost all of the more than a thousand people are stationed on the city wall.
Even so, it can only be said to be barely enough, and this is not the most difficult thing.
Most of these soldiers under the direct jurisdiction of the Dusi Yamen live outside the city. After the city was closed and martial law was imposed, many people were worried that there were already signs of deserters at home.
In other words, Dusi Yamen now has too much to take care of itself.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wenguang suddenly felt sad. He also thought of his parents and brothers in his hometown, wondering if they were in danger.
The only comfort he felt was that his wife and son were by his side.
Listening to the screams and cries from time to time in the workshop, Cheng Wenguang's heart became nervous. Who knows how many monsters were born inside.
Yes, Cheng Wenguang, as a parent official, is more worried about the increase of zombies than the loss of lives of the people under his rule.
After waiting at the scene for about half an hour, Cheng Wenguang finally heard footsteps in the distance.
The footsteps were noisy and numerous. Cheng Wenguang looked back and saw that a large number of people were arriving.
