Take this little lucky star home and the whole dynasty will be filled with prosperity!

When her relatives gave her this crystal clear, spotless, and otherworldly bead, they asked her to swear on the lives of all the people in her family to keep it properly and never disclose it to anyone.

"Where did you get this thing?" Luo Luo's expression was startled, and he looked at the beads in the lady's hand in surprise. The aura of curse on it was very strong, and there was thick black air all around it.

The white fox in her arms, when it saw the bead, jumped up and down in her arms like a madman, howling in anxiety.

"This... I can't say this!" The woman opened her mouth, then closed it again, with a conflicted look on her face.

"Aunt Li, are the beads in your hand given to you by your sister? A few days ago, I accidentally saw her holding them in her hand. However, she has died of the plague. I guess this must have been given to you before she died."

"Oh, I've seen beads like this before. My family runs a cloth shop. A few days ago, several people came to the shop with beads like this and bought a lot of cloth. Those people seemed to have died of the epidemic a few days ago." A man in the crowd suddenly slapped his thigh, holding his head as he recalled.

At this moment, a patient lying on the ground suddenly sat up and followed the recollections with great energy.

"That reminds me, my neighbor Li Daniu suddenly became rich a few days ago. He ate and drank delicious food at home every day, and mysteriously said that he had found a treasure that would allow him to eat and drink endlessly in his lifetime. Later, his youngest son secretly told me that his father picked up a pearl that was priceless. I accidentally saw Li Daniu take it out to play with it. It was this kind of pearl!"

"Alas! What a pity! Li Daniu's entire family is dead..."

Everyone was talking at once, however, although the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and everyone couldn't help but start to associate...

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I shivered violently.

"Aunt Li, please tell me quickly, where did these beads come from?" The old lady next to her who was about to give Luo Luo copper coins reminded her kindly.

It's terrifying that this tiny bead could be linked to so many lives!

Aunt Li was even more panicked. She thought about how she had been infected with the disease since she got the bead. This bead might be...

"This bead was indeed given to me by my elder sister. She gave it to me before she died and told me that this bead was dug out from an underground palace."

"She said that the underground palace was extremely rich and contained countless treasures. They discovered it by accident, so they pried it open and took out all the valuable items inside."

"But digging up people's graves is not honorable, so they all agreed to keep their mouths shut about the underground palace and not let anyone leak it out."

“However, before my sister died, she said with tears in her eyes that although the treasures in this underground palace are precious, they are not something that ordinary people can afford. She warned me not to touch them rashly…”

The more Aunt Li spoke, the more panicked she became, and she hurriedly handed the beads in her hand to Haoxu.

The people in the city had great trust in Haoxu, the young and promising general, who won battles time and again and guarded the city.

"So, it seems that all the people who entered the underground palace and took away other people's things...died in the plague."

Everyone quickly searched the situation around them, only to find that everything was exactly the same: they were all dead!

They looked at the bead in Haoxu's hand and instinctively stepped back, wanting to stay away from the bead.

"I remember now. I run a bank. Some time ago, someone brought these unusual beads, gold and silver to my bank to exchange."

"I also remembered that my family sells meat. Some time ago, someone came to my stall with some special change to buy meat."

"I remember that too. I run a jewelry store. Someone once came to my store and exchanged these beads for jewelry."

"I've encountered this before. I run a restaurant. A man got drunk and took out this kind of beads from his pocket and showed them off in front of me."

·······

For a moment, the people in the entire sick quarters asked each other, and they found that every sick person here had touched the gold, silver and valuables in the underground palace.

However, at this time, several kind-looking old ladies stood up and said with a puzzled look on their faces, "I am an old man who helps here every day, but I haven't been infected with the disease. Is it because I haven't touched those things?"

"Yes, you see, the imperial doctors have been treating patients for two or three days in a row. Doctor Lin and his family eat and drink here, but they have never been sick. It is impossible for Doctor Lin to touch those things."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Could this be a violation of the curse of the underground palace? My grandfather once said that if you dig up someone else's grave, there will be a curse. Even if there is no curse, there will be punishment from heaven..."

A young man, although ill, sat in the corner and talked leisurely.

The white fox in Lolo's arms also began to get agitated, and cried out "Awoo, awoo".

It's like, see, I was right, this is their retribution!

Luo Luo raised his hand and patted the white fox's head twice without any hesitation. The white fox shrank into his arms with a look of grievance.

At this time, General Cui and others came in hurriedly.

After they came out of the underground palace, they dispatched people to start a thorough investigation of the underground palace.

The results were no surprise.

Those who died were all those who had gone to the underground palace to rob gold and silver, and no one survived.

Those with mild symptoms were those who had contact with the looted items...

"In that case, this must be the retribution for stealing someone else's underground palace!"

"This is what they deserve! A bunch of bastards, digging up people's graves without any reverence, this is really a punishment from God!"

"A bunch of greedy people destroyed other people's underground palace beyond recognition. How despicable!"

Those in the crowd who were not infected began to curse.

The imperial doctors who still had some sense looked at each other and rubbed their hands anxiously, "Although we know the root cause, but...how can we treat this?"

The white fox in Luo Luo's arms suddenly jumped down, biting the corner of Xiao Chenming's clothes tightly with its mouth, trying to drag him away.

Xiao Chenming was stunned and looked at Bai Ze in confusion. He really couldn't figure out what this thing was trying to do.

Hao Xu suddenly had an idea, and said to the people in the courtyard worriedly, "This matter is caused by your greed and rudeness, so you have to go to the underground palace, kowtow and apologize, in order to seek forgiveness..."
