This story has to start with the zombie that ran away a few days ago.

The zombie bit No. 6 to death silently. The factory officer who took over the pursuit lost the clue not long after chasing him. After searching for a long time, he found nothing.

The factory inspector took a look and decided to go home.

Anyway, there are at least fifteen zombies that escape every year, if not twenty.

If he ran away, he ran away. The transformed corpse ran away from the crematorium. If anything happens, the crematorium will be in trouble. I have tracked him down for so long and now I can report back.

The factory manager left and Xu Changshou became anxious.

Who is this Xu Changshou?

He was the officer on duty that Qin He asked to dispose of the scholar's ashes himself. There were four officers on duty that night, and he was one of them.

Speaking of Xu Changshou, his ancestors were quite wealthy, and they were rich for two generations, but by the time of his father's generation, things were not so good.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten ship still has three thousand nails.

Xu Changshou had a pretty good life since he was a child and had done a lot of things, but he was not very successful and was only half-hearted in everything he did.

When I first started studying, I could write and do some math, but I was still far from being able to pass the imperial examinations.

Then he went to learn martial arts, and his learning was just so-so. Three or two ordinary people were really no match for him, but that was the end of it.

I went out to look for another job and did business with an uncle. I worked there for many years. If you ask me if I made a loss, I didn't. If you ask me if I made a profit, it all went into my stomach anyway, and there was not a penny left in the family.

In a blink of an eye, this man is already twenty years old, and he has not yet found a wife after many years.

But it's not true to say that he has gained nothing after all these years of hard work.

He has made many friends and loves making friends.

The more friends you have, the more informed you are. Half a year ago, when I was drinking with a friend, I heard that a mutant corpse escaped from the East City crematorium. It was said that the mutant corpse attacked a merchant caravan of Wei Qiansui. Wei Qiansui beat them with a stick, and half of the East City Bingmasi from top to bottom were wiped out. The four officers on duty were directly arrested and sent to the imperial prison. The substitute position for one of the officers was actually vacant.

Here we have to talk about the officialdom of the Dali Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, generations of princes have been enfeoffed with hereditary titles. As a result, the Dali Dynasty is now full of lucrative princes, and the imperial court is so poor that it has to make ends meet.

However, the hereditary power in the Dali Dynasty was not only held by the princes, but also by the clerks.

The so-called clerks are those people who work around the officials, such as legal advisors, runners, and petty officials.

The emperor would issue an imperial decree and appoint someone to a certain place. If an official arrived at a place alone, he would be unable to do anything. He had to rely on a group of people who were familiar with government affairs and knew the local customs and practices to do his work. Only then could he be considered an official.

Aside from officials with high ranks, everyone else in the government office was considered a clerk, including the crematorium officials.

The position of clerk is hereditary, passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, and they receive government rations for generations. If there is no son, the position can be passed on to a brother, and if there is no brother, a cousin can do.

Therefore, it is not common for clerks to be absent.

Xu Changshou had an idea when he heard it.

I am only half-baked at what I do. If I could get a government job, I wouldn't say it would bring honor to my family, but at least I would be living a decent life.

Without wasting any time, he went home immediately under the influence of alcohol to collect some money, found another friend to lead the way, and went to buy a job.

Maybe he went there early, and hey, he really bought it.

The vacancy was filled successfully, and the people working at the crematorium set off.

Half a year passed, and Xu Changshou felt that everything was going well.

Until a few days ago, a mutant corpse escaped from the crematorium.

He then realized that if you are unlucky in this place, you will suffer bad luck.

The fate of the previous four officials was right in front of him. The thought of it made him unable to sleep or eat. At the foot of the imperial city, who knew who the zombie would attack? It might be a royal relative.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he consulted his three other companions about what to do.

When I was looking for them, I heard three people whispering in the corner.

One said that it would be difficult to deal with if he ran away and turned into a zombie, and something might happen.

The other one said, "There's nothing to be afraid of, Xu Changshou will take care of it if anything happens."

The third one said it even more clearly. Master Cao arranged Xu Changshou to come to the crematorium to take the blame, so as to prevent his own people from getting hurt in any trouble.

own people?

When Xu Changshou heard the conversation between the three people, he broke out in a cold sweat.

When he first entered the crematorium, he felt something was a little strange. He didn't expect there would be such a thing going on.

Who was Master Cao? He was the "Second Master" of the East City Military Commission. All the clerks in this area listened to him. Outsiders called them the "clerk gang." Besides Master Liu of the Military Commission, his words were the most effective, and he had no shortage of the small amount of silver he gave as a filial gift.

Xu Changshou felt regretful and afraid. As soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed that he was arrested and thrown into the imperial prison.

It's unclear whether the zombie will attack people, and even if it does, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a big shot.

But Xu Changshou was always worried and felt that something was going to happen.

As for people, sometimes their premonitions are surprisingly accurate.

What you fear will come true. The zombies really pounced on people.

The person who attacked was the nephew of the current Vice Minister of War.

It was said that in the middle of the night, the nephew of the assistant minister of the Ministry of War came out of Yihong Courtyard in a sedan chair, eating hot pot and singing. Suddenly, he was attacked by zombies at the entrance of a dark alley.

The people in the sedan, along with its two bearers, were all killed, and the wooden sedan was torn to pieces.

This scene happened to be seen by the old night watchman in West City. He was so frightened that he howled and attracted the runners from the West City Bingmasi.

When the yamen runners arrived, they saw that something serious had happened. It was the nephew of the Vice Minister of War, Lord Liu.

A group of yamen runners murmured for a long time, not knowing what to do, but what else could they do since the person was dead? Let's notify Lord Liu.

Lord Liu rushed to the scene, took a look, and sat down on the ground with a howl.

The military departments of the east and west cities also knew that something had happened and were trembling with fear. The assistant minister of the Ministry of War was a third-rank official of the current dynasty and the immediate superior of the military department.

Especially the Dongcheng Bingmasi. When the old man described it, the thing that attacked people was the transformed corpse running out of the Dongcheng crematorium.

But throughout the entire day, the East City Military Department did not receive Lord Liu's wrath until dark.

Lord Liu appeared at the East City Crematorium.

When he arrived, he said, "I have no children, and I treat my nephew as my own. It is God's will that people suffer misfortune. I don't blame you, but there is one thing: my nephew's remains must be left behind."

When the officials from the Military Affairs Department heard this, they were filled with gratitude and called Lord Liu a wise and upright person.

There was a circle of people gathered around, including the cremators. When they saw that Lord Liu's nephew's face was a little pale, he did not have any corpse spots, and the body was still limp when the cart moved, they all felt a chill down their spines.

Dead but not stiff, this is no longer a mutation, but a dead body.

According to the rules, it should be handed over to Feiyuwei for processing.

But Lord Liu said that the corpse must be left behind. The Feiyu Guards never spit out bones, no matter whether the person entering is alive or dead.

Since Lord Liu has spoken, let's not worry about whether it is against the rules or not. He just wants to keep his nephew's remains for a proper burial, which is understandable.

That’s great, just a cremator died.
