Chapter 288 Questioning

In fact, even if Qi Anyi was not in the City Lord's Mansion, he still knew some things about the Mansion, after all, he had his people in the Mansion.

So, although I don’t know everything about what Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou have been doing these days, I know almost everything.

He knew a few days ago that the people in the north of the city had been almost wiped out by Yongning Hou, so he ordered his men to spread large doses of the powder around the north of the city. As expected, all the people in the north of the city were infected within one night.

Thinking that since the north of the city had been attacked, it would be a good idea to destroy the west of the city, which already had no hope, too. Qi Anyi would do whatever he thought of. After all, he had always looked down on the people of Nanyu City and this shabby place. If he didn't need this shabby place to return to the capital, he wouldn't even bother to look at it.

Qi Anyi has been staying in his bedroom these days, and the secret guards who originally had his face were still waiting for his instructions in the dark.

He thought that the plan was almost done and it was time for him to make his own appearance.

He has always looked down upon those who are high and mighty and put his own life at the lowest place, or perhaps he does not take it seriously. As for helping a large number of people save their lives for no reason, he has never done it before. Of course, this is the first time, but it is just forced by the situation. After the plan is successful, he will never let himself be exposed to things that endanger his body for these untouchables next time.

As for what the informants who had been listening to him in the City Lord's Mansion say about Zhang Wenlai, Marquis Yongning, and the doctors who were sent from the capital by Qi Yunjin to help Marquis Yongning, he felt disdain and ridicule in his heart.

Now these people have been almost ruined by him, they must be helpless now, as for the so-called Li Laile.

Qi Anyi sneered. By the time this guy developed the antidote, Nanyu City would have become a dead city.

Now Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou had no time to pay attention to him at all. He also had to act like a monk in his bedroom in front of these people. It was time for him to take action.

Qi Anyi had a good idea. Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou really didn't have time to spend on Qi Anyi.

After all, this is the fourth day since the fall of the north, west and east sides of the city.

They had only lasted about four days, and now it was the fifth day.

The city capital was not able to be defended in the end. Just yesterday, someone let several sick civilians into the city capital, and then in just one night, many people in the city were infected, and now there is a subtle trend of spreading the disease.

Within three days, I’m afraid even the City Lord’s Mansion will suffer as well.

Zhang Wenlai stood at the gate of Li Laile's courtyard with a gloomy face, thinking hurriedly about how to deal with the situation.

He stood here with a look of irritability on his face. Almost no one dared to stand next to Zhang Wenlai. After all, his face looked too ugly now. The guards were afraid that they would be angered. For a moment, there was no one around him.

Marquis Yongning was in his own courtyard thinking about how to arrange for those citizens of the city who were not infected.

Zhang Wenlai was just about to leave here to discuss something with Yongning Hou, but when he was halfway there, he was suddenly attracted by the anxious-looking guard who was jogging towards him, panting.

His face darkened, he took a deep breath, and looked at the guard. The ominous feeling in his heart seemed to be drowning him, and the string in his mind was twitching. He looked at the guard in front of him who seemed to be almost out of breath, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

The guard shuddered when he saw his city lord's expression, then lowered his head and dared not look at Zhang Wenlai's increasingly terrifying expression. He just lowered his voice and replied with a slightly trembling tone:

"City Lord, something bad has happened. Now there are people outside the City Lord's Mansion, asking you to give them an explanation..."

Zhang Wenlai didn't say anything, and the guard didn't dare to look up. He just felt the air around him getting thinner and thinner, and the atmosphere getting colder and colder, as if he would die in the next second. The guard felt that he was about to fall down in fear from this weird atmosphere.

Finally, Zhang Wenlai said, "Let's go."

Since this matter could be passed on to Zhang Wenlai, someone would naturally tell Yongning Hou who was still in his own courtyard.

When Zhang Wenlai just approached the gate of the mansion, Marquis Yongning was already standing outside the gate.

He raised his eyes and saw the tall and broad figure of Yongning Hou and the crowd of people gathered around him.

The distance was quite far, and even though he could guess in his heart, he still didn't know what these people were saying or doing.

After getting closer, Zhang Wenlai discovered that these people were all kneeling. They were kneeling at the foot of the stairs of the City Lord's Mansion. The huge crowd would kowtow once or twice from time to time, and asked them to save them or take them in.

Everyone is afraid of death. These people know that they have no sense of security where they live and they may get sick at any time. So they think that the safest place now is the City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord’s Mansion has a lot of medicinal materials and famous doctors or physicians.

Over the years, Zhang Wenlai, as the lord of Nanyu City, has basically not been in charge of affairs. However, whenever the city lord and the people have any demands or any injustice happens in the city, Zhang Wenlai will solve it, and he solves it perfectly.

The people of Nanyu City naturally thought that Zhang Wenlai was fully responsible for the plague. Now that they were threatened by the plague, the City Lord's Mansion was the safest place in the whole city. Zhang Wenlai would clean up his own Mansion and let them in.

The city lord will not abandon them. The city lord and the doctors will definitely come to rescue them. They are the city lord's people. Zhang Wenlai must save them instead of blocking them outside the mansion like he is doing now.

But now, the man standing outside the City Lord's Mansion, looking at them kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, was blocking the door of the City Lord's Mansion with a group of people, not letting them in. This man was so arrogant, his aura seemed to crush them, and his eyes were sharp, as if he could see the clumsy and dirty thoughts in their hearts.

The cold and noble man looked at them kneeling down, but his face did not seem to be moved. Instead, he looked indifferent and began to question them:

"Regardless of whether the City Lord's Mansion can accommodate so many people, you are kneeling here without caring about anything, completely for your own sake, without paying attention to the possibility of infection by kneeling here in large numbers. Have you ever thought about it?"
