The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 270 Exposing Yourself

After dealing with the people in this area before dark, Zhang Wenlai stood beside Yongning Hou, and the group returned to the City Lord's Mansion in the city capital in a mighty manner.

After settling the people brought by Yongning Hou, Zhang Wenlai took Yongning Hou to their special meeting place, which was the study.

Following closely were the shopkeeper, Zhang Kai, and Cao Anshan, who had been following Yongning Houji and had hardly spoken to him.

“This plague is not simple”

Zhang Wenlai watched the door close and was silent for a while before he spoke.

This was the conclusion he came to in the past few days.

Yongning Hou didn't expect that Zhang Wenlai would reveal so much information. He looked up at him in surprise, as if asking him what he meant.

Zhang Wenlai immediately explained: "These days I discovered that the source of the epidemic is a well in a small town in the eastern suburbs of the city. The water in the well was poisoned, but almost everyone in that town relies on this well for their livelihood. I sent people to take some water from the well and asked An Yu and Doctor Cheng to study it for a long time before they discovered it. In addition, I inferred that the source of all this is also in this small town."

An Yu was the shopkeeper, and that doctor had the same surname as the only doctor who had always followed them.

Yongning Hou's eyes darkened. Seeing Zhang Wenlai's serious face without any trace of lying, he pursed his lips. Knowing that this matter was not simple, he said, "If it is really man-made, then do you have any clues now?"

This person must die, but first he must be found.

Zhang Wenlai, who was originally a little indignant, suddenly became depressed when he heard the question from Oh Yongning Hou. He whispered, "Nothing was found. It was hidden too deep. In addition, the discovery of the well water was accidental. If the little doctor hadn't been thirsty and wanted to drink water, we would still think that the plague was natural."

In other words, they believed from the beginning that the plague was natural, that is, it was transmitted by livestock or something like that.

This is the source of common plagues, and they have preconceived notions about it.

Marquis Yongning's eyes were gloomy. This matter must be reported to the court, and the real culprit behind it must be found out. However, there is no news yet, which shows the strength of the real culprit.

“The current situation is to deal with the epidemic well.”

Seeing that Yongning Hou looked unhappy, Zhang Wenlai tried to change the subject, but seeing that Yongning Hou's face became even darker, he thought that if he said it, he would be indirectly reminding that the real culprit behind the scenes was very powerful.

Yes, Zhang Wenlai came back to his senses and thought, after this epidemic, there may be a second and third time. The most urgent task is to find the real culprit while solving the epidemic. It is really too busy. Zhang Wenlai thought to himself, and his face showed some worry. Yongning Hou saw it and said thoughtfully: "Next, we will split into two groups. I will lead people to find clues to the real culprit, and General Cao and the doctors I brought with me will follow you to solve the epidemic in the west of the city."

Zhang Wenlai thought it was fine at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he was surprised and asked, "Are you talking about all the doctors you brought here?"

Yongning Hou glanced at him and said coldly, "Not entirely. Some doctors are busy studying the three herbs that the emperor mentioned. They are said to be the main medicinal materials that can solve the plague. They are still studying the prescription."

Zhang Wenlai subconsciously asked: "Which three?"

"Spring apricot leaves, silver mountain fox, two or three flowers"

Zhang Wenlai was silent. He was not a doctor and had no idea what these three medicinal herbs looked like.

Instead, the shopkeeper standing behind him heard the words and thought about these medicinal herbs, looking thoughtful.

But how did the emperor know about these three herbs? Or was there another expert behind the scenes? If so, wouldn't it be better to send that expert to take charge? From what the expert said, it seems that he knows a lot about the symptoms of the plague, otherwise how could he think of these three herbs? Or did the expert not know and just wanted to try these three herbs to see if they would work?

An Yu thought so in his heart, and then focused all his thoughts on these three medicinal herbs.

Zhang Wenlai glanced at An Yu and then looked away, as if he had thought of something, and there was a strange expression on his face.

Yongning Hou noticed this strangeness, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does the city lord mean by this expression?"

Zhang Wenlai glanced at Yongning Hou, somewhat hesitantly, as if he didn't know what to say.

Yongning Hou comforted him, "There is no one else here, just speak frankly."

In addition to these few people, there are also secret guards sent by the emperor in the dark. So now there are secret guards guarding the dark, and there are no other outsiders here.

Zhang Wenlai was relieved after hearing this, and then whispered to Yongning Hou: "In these days, the person who was exiled here by the emperor has not made any movement at all. This is a bit too strange."

Just this one sentence has a much deeper meaning.

At first, Marquis Yongning was only concerned about Nanyu's affairs and did not pay attention to Qi Anyi, who was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Nanyu City by the emperor.

Now suddenly reminded by Zhang Wenlai, he began to recall some news about Qi Anyi that he had heard from the emperor some days ago.

He stayed in his bedroom all day, looking like he was going to become a monk and repent. At that time, he thought to himself that the character of King An, who liked to plot and make trouble, would definitely not be as simple as he looked on the surface. His first reaction was to disbelieve it.

Marquis Yongning still remembers that he tentatively asked the emperor whether he had other plans.

The emperor then simply said that his people were watching closely and would occasionally sneak into the bedroom where Qi Anyi lived.

Of course, Qi Yunjin, who said this, naturally did not believe that Qi Anyi could stay in the bedroom all the time without coming out, but there is currently no direct evidence to prove that Qi Anyi was not in the bedroom.

But that’s the only way to say it.

Marquis Yongning changed his mind and turned his gaze to Zhang Wenlai, asking him what Qi Anyi was doing now.

Zhang Wenlai shook his head: "We sent some people to check on Qi Anyi, but they died soon after. They were busy with the affairs in the east of the city, and gave up over time. So now he doesn't know what Qi Anyi is doing." He knew that it was Qi Anyi's fault, but he couldn't afford to offend him.

For the sake of his men's lives, he had no choice but to give up.

Upon hearing this, Yongning Hou said helplessly: "With no one watching, it is easier for them to act recklessly. I will send someone to check where Qi Anyi is now."

In fact, there are the emperor's people and unknown forces around Qi Anyi who are secretly watching Qi Anyi, so he dare not do anything and expose himself.

In addition, those sent out are the emperor's men, people around the emperor, so their abilities are naturally needless to say.
