I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 893 His White Moonlight 26
These people's tone grew increasingly rude. Looking at Yu Muhuai, they said impatiently, "Miss, if you want to go shopping, go look elsewhere. We don't have time to entertain you."

"But right now, Gushui City is full of disaster victims, so there's probably not much to see. It's best to go back to the capital; this isn't a place for you."

The group consisted of soldiers who had been stationed in the west of the city. They had never met Yu Muhuai before and did not know her identity.

Judging from her attire, they deduced that she might be a maidservant of an official from the capital, and therefore paid her no attention.

Yu Muhuai didn't mind their tone at all, but he still stopped them from burying the bodies at will.

However, this time she used a very stern tone.

"I'll say it again, the body cannot be buried here. His Highness Prince Duan will give instructions on how to dispose of the body later. You just need to listen to me and do as I say."

The soldiers were just low-ranking officers in the yamen; they had never even seen Prince Duan before, yet they suddenly heard Yu Muhuai using Prince Duan to pressure them.

The group looked at each other, not daring to make any further moves.

Since this woman in front of me can bring up His Highness Prince Duan, her identity must be quite extraordinary.

Therefore, the work at the mortuary in the west of the city was temporarily suspended, and everything was awaiting orders.

Lou Yunsheng was shocked when he heard the report from his subordinate and immediately rushed back to Gushui City to find Yu Muhuai.

"Ah Ci, are you sure?" Lou Yunsheng asked impatiently as soon as he saw Yu Muhuai.

Yu Muhuai nodded, his expression serious, and told Lou Yunsheng about his discovery.

After listening, Lou Yunsheng pondered for a long time, then nodded: "According to what you said, Aci, we are still in the early stages of the plague, and everything can be controlled?"

Lou Yunsheng sounded somewhat puzzled.

In the past, the Kingdom of Lanting had experienced several plagues, both large and small, but each time they were discovered, they were already in the middle or later stages.

Because of a lack of understanding of plagues, they often do not receive enough attention in the early stages.

Moreover, the plague spreads very quickly, and the number of infected people grows exponentially, so it will spread rapidly.

The time required to move from the initial stage to the middle or even the later stage is very short, and people usually don't even have time to react.

That's why Lou Yunsheng was somewhat confused; he didn't understand how Yu Muhuai was so sure it was the plague.

They couldn't understand how Yu Muhuai could be so confident in controlling the epidemic.

Yu Muhuai knew that in order to truly control the plague and prevent Gushui City from repeating the mistakes of the previous life, she had to get Lou Yunsheng's full support for her actions.

So Yu Muhuai silently activated the Sophist skill again and began a long and rambling discourse.

Before long, she convinced Lou Yunsheng of her story.

They even directly entrusted this matter to her.

"Then, the task of controlling the plague in Gushui City will be entirely entrusted to you, Aci."

Yu Muhuai nodded; this was exactly what Lou Yunsheng wanted to hear.

However, to his surprise, Yu Muhuai encountered unprecedented trouble as he prepared to take the first step in fighting the epidemic.

Her first task was to gather the corpses in the city and cremate them.

She couldn't be sure which of the corpses had died from the plague, but to prevent the germs on the corpses from infecting others, the simplest way was to cremate them all.

In the context of modern technological advancements, this would be perfectly normal.

But this era is different.

In this day and age, people take the bodies of the dead very seriously, believing that they must be buried in the ground intact, so that they can return to their roots and their souls can go home.

Even if an accident occurs and the deceased loses an organ, burial is still necessary.

They believed that cremation was a punishment for those who had committed heinous crimes, a punishment that would send them to hell after death.

So when they heard that the dead were to be cremated, the people protested. "No! How can you burn them? Those are my parents! My last family members! I couldn't even give them a burial plot, and now you want to burn them? You'd better burn me!"

"My child is so small, he's so tiny, he absolutely cannot be burned! He mustn't be!"

"Don't think that just because you're big shots from the capital, you can bully us common folk at will!"

"Hmph! They just think we're weak and easy to bully! If those who died were your relatives, let's see if you'd still accept cremation!"

Upon hearing this, Lou Yunsheng's guards immediately glared at him, stepped forward, and shouted angrily.

"You audacious scoundrels! Do you even know what you're saying?"

These guards were all dressed in uniform, carrying swords, their sharp edges and menacing aura far surpassing the soldiers and officers that ordinary people usually saw.

At this moment, they all glared angrily at the troublemaking people, one hand on the hilt of their swords, as if they were about to draw their swords at the slightest provocation.

Fearing infection, Lou Yunsheng and his guards all wore makeshift masks, but that did not diminish their domineering presence at all.

The noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Only then did they realize the meaning of the words that had just slipped out.

The person before me is His Highness Prince Duan, and his relative.
Isn't that the current emperor?!
Did they mean to burn the emperor alive?

OMG!

What outrageous things they said!

Once someone understood, they immediately knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Prince Duan, begging for mercy.

Seeing this, the surrounding people followed suit and knelt down, and in an instant, a whole crowd of people were kneeling.

Lou Yunsheng's expression was serious. Although he was displeased, he controlled himself and did not argue with these common people.

Yu Muhuai, who was standing to the side, turned his head to look at Lou Yunsheng, signaling her to say a few words. Lou Yunsheng nodded in agreement.

Yu Muhuai stepped forward and walked to the front of the crowd.

The veil covering her face concealed the lower half of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

People couldn't see her face clearly, but they could feel the inexplicable pressure she brought.

She looked around and then said, "Cremation is imperative."

The kneeling people stirred again, but what Yu Muhuai said next terrified them even more.

"Because Valley City is facing an unprecedented difficulty this time - a plague."

"What? Plague?"

"Oh God! Why is God doing this to me?!"

"Waaaaah, what should I do?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, plague is synonymous with death.

Some of them were already itching to escape Valleywater City as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Yu Muhuai soon announced the second matter.

“Lockdown the city.

From this day forward, entry and exit from Valley Water City is strictly prohibited. Everyone wishing to enter or leave must obtain a permit.

Upon hearing this, those who had just been trying to escape immediately lost all hope.
