Wang Zong led people to screen at Anguangfang, while Zhao Yanxun, accompanied by several guards, came to the Chief Envoy's Yamen.
When he arrived at the yamen gate, the guards who had arrived earlier were already divided into two lines and standing outside.
"See you, my lord!"
It was at this time that Cheng Wenguang led several officials and hurried out of the Yamen.
"I see you are late, please forgive me, Your Highness!" Cheng Wenguang saluted and paid homage.
It can be seen that Cheng Wenguang still has a look of fear on his face at this moment. It is obvious that what happened tonight scared him badly.
"Get up!"
This was not the place to talk, so Zhao Yanxun walked straight into the Yamen.
When I entered, I found that there were more than 20 servants and several clerks in charge of documents gathered here.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun entering, everyone bowed and paid homage: "See you, Your Majesty!"
In their hearts, Zhao Yanxun is no different from the savior, so everyone respects him sincerely.
"No gift!"
After Zhao Yanxun entered the lobby, the officers got up on their own, and at this moment Cheng Wenguang also followed in the lobby.
After walking to the lobby and sitting down, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Cheng Wenguang and the others.
Different from the reverence of ordinary people, when Cheng Wenguang and others faced Zhao Yanxun, they were in awe, and generally more fearful.
At this moment, being stared at by Zhao Yanxun, Cheng Wenguang and others felt even more uneasy, and they took the initiative to reflect on their own mistakes.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Anguangfang is the residence of your chief envoy's office. Why did this happen?"
If the answer to this question is not good, then the responsibility will fall on himself, and Cheng Wenguang will complain in his heart.
"Your Highness, the incident happened suddenly, and I really don't know the reason for it!" Cheng Wenguang replied honestly, already mentally prepared to take responsibility.
"I heard from the officer that the first commotion was from the prefect's office, but why were the monsters we encountered just now mostly the heads of major households in the city!"
Cheng Wenguang knew what was going on in the Hou family. Most of the people who heard about the mutation were powerful family heads. Cheng Wenguang thought of many things at once.
"Your Highness, Hou Yunhe, the prefect of Yuanyang, died today. These people all went to the Hou family to express their condolences!"
"His Highness said that monsters are mostly heads of wealthy families. Does that mean...the mutation first started in the Hou Mansion?"
It must be said that Cheng Wenguang's speculation pointed the way for Zhao Yanxun.
Before, he only knew that the mutation was in the direction of the prefect's Yamen, but this direction was too wide, but Cheng Wenguang directly confirmed for him that it was the Hou family.
Maybe he should go to the Hou family to have a look... Zhao Yanxun came up with this idea.
He stood up suddenly and walked out of the lobby, but stopped when he passed by Cheng Wenguang and others.
"Previously, the royal palace strictly ordered that all the shops should close their doors after dark and implement a curfew. Now you are responsible for this matter!"
He didn't understand what Zhao Yanxun meant, but Cheng Wenguang still replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, I am responsible for this matter, and officials from each branch will be assigned to implement it!"
"Such a big thing happened tonight. It's hard to see whether this system is strictly implemented. I hope you won't let me down!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Wenguang felt anxious again, but at this moment Zhao Yanxun had already left.
After leaving the Chief Envoy's Yamen, Zhao Yanxun mounted his horse and rushed directly to the Hou Mansion.
What reassures him at the moment is that the spread of zombies has been controlled, and the actual controlled population has not decreased during this period.
The skill points generated by killing zombies are constantly accumulating, but the acquisition speed is getting slower and slower, and it is already faster than they are cleared.
Overall, tonight's matter was handled fairly promptly and did not cause a bigger disaster.
So at this moment, figuring out the cause of the zombie outbreak has become the most important thing.
With the city locked down for such a long time, even if there were previously infected people, they would have been highly exposed.
However, after such a long period of peace, zombies broke out again in the city. There must be great hidden dangers here.
When I arrived at Hou's house, I found that the place was in a mess, and there was a fire in the yard inside the gate.
Fortunately, wealthy families in Beicheng basically live in single-family houses, so it is difficult for a fire to spread to other yards.
But Zhao Yanxun still ordered people to put out the fire immediately. After all, more people would need to be recruited in the future, and these houses could be used for resettlement.
The accompanying guards immediately put out the fire, and Zhao Yanxun also stepped into the courtyard.
System perception is turned on, and the situation within thirty meters is clearly visible. Except for the guards, there is no other living person.
Zhao Yanxun continued to walk in. The fire in the yard was not big and it had been extinguished by the guards.
"Search it again!"
Immediately, the guards began to search, and the originally quiet Hou family residence soon made various noises.
Zhao Yanxun came outside the mourning hall, glanced at the damaged wooden door, and glanced at the coffins inside the mourning hall.
The candlelight flickered inside, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.
After entering the mourning hall and seeing the coffin boards falling to the ground, Zhao Yanxun quickly went to the coffin, looked inside and found that it was empty.
At this moment, there were only sounds coming from the backyard, accompanied by the roars of the guards.
When Zhao Yanxun's system perception was turned on, he found three zombies there, and the guards were fighting with them.
He was standing in the middle of the yard just now, more than thirty meters away from the backyard, so he couldn't sense the situation inside.
In the end, Zhao Yanxun was careless because he thought there were no zombies in the Hou Mansion.
When he arrived at the backyard, the guards were fighting three zombies, and the scene was extremely dangerous and fierce.
What is more surprising is that one of the three zombies is a woman, and the other two are seven or eight-year-old children.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun's arrival, the guards fought harder, and the zombies were killed after a few breaths.
"Where did the monster come from?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
"Reporting to the prince, in the front room, as soon as the young one opened the door... three of them rushed out!"
Nodding, Zhao Yanxun slowly walked towards the room, and the guards immediately followed him.
The furnishings in the room are exquisite, and the smell of incense and blood are intertwined, which is quite strange.
It can be seen that this is a woman's boudoir. There are stairs on the left side of the room, leading directly to the upper floor.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun suddenly said: "Come out, it's safe here!"
The guards looked at each other in confusion. Is there someone upstairs?
They had no doubts about Zhao Yanxun's judgment. After all, the previous police officer was also discovered in this way.
"We are from Prince Yong's Mansion, and all the monsters have been killed!"
Zhao Yanxun spoke again. If the people upstairs did not come down, he would send people up to arrest them.
After a few breaths, a "creaking" sound came from above, and the wooden door on the stairs was slowly opened.
A pair of frightened eyes appeared inside. After confirming that everyone standing below was everyone, the door was opened again.
Hou Shiyun tremblingly poked his head out from the door and met Zhao Yanxun's eyes.
Unexpectedly, it was a beauty... Zhao Yanxun's first thought came to his mind. This is something that men have in common.
"It's okay, come down!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.
