Breaking the Day

Late at night, Taiyang City.

"Dry things dry, watch out for fire candles!" The watchman's chants echoed under the shady city of Taiyang.

If it weren't for the little firelight in the city, the city would almost be dead, and the black fog that could not dissipate like thick ink made the city that had just experienced a tragic catastrophe look lifeless.

Although more than half a month has passed, there are still families in the city who wear flags.

After the catastrophe passed, the crown prince quickly counted the casualties of Taiyang City. This city with a population of about 100,000 directly killed nearly one-fifth of the deaths in a catastrophe. About 20,000 people lost their lives and were seriously injured and screamed. There are more than 30,000 people waiting for death to embrace.

As a result, the entire city lost half of its population, of which about 10,000 were killed in battle, and the number of people destroyed by the epidemic reached 80% of the casualties.

Although the violent disease spread and the infectious power dropped sharply with the death of No Disease, and the infected people were effectively controlled, the loss of half of the population caused the entire city to fall into extreme sadness and paralysis.

When the prince was there, he could also rely on his incomparable prestige and administrative skill to forcibly push officials to manage the dilapidated city.

But when the prince had to leave Taiyang City because the four princes launched an attack in the capital, the whole Taiyang City suddenly lost its backbone.

The prefect Li Tian, ​​who is most hated by the people, has returned to his post, and the news has silenced the whole Taiyang!

The officials were afraid that Li Tian would settle accounts because of their betrayal at the time. The people were even more afraid that Li Tian would retaliate wildly because of their betrayal.

The prefect Li Tian was also very scared. He was afraid that he would offend the prince again and lose his official position, then he would really be completely dead!

After the official resumed his post, Li Tian was at a loss for a while. He was originally a straw-made rice bucket. The prefecture was bought with money. The cost of the bribe was not paid back before he came across this. If you have a little bit of brain and wrist, you won't be able to do things like a pig like a pig.

Where would such a person govern a city?

After thinking about it, Li Tian didn't dare to trust those colleagues who had fallen into trouble after his downfall. In desperation, he had to find his former master again. The middle-aged master was very unfortunate and died of the disease. Ji Chen was alive and kicking. To live well, there is a posture that good people will not live long and will be a disaster for thousands of years.

"On the morning of the 19th day of the Dibao, after the Great Court meeting, the secretary's left servant Pei Rengui resigned from his post during the impeachment and was transferred to Beijing by the former Taizhou prefect Qianshanyue..."

In the study room of the Prefect’s Mansion, Li Tian opened his eyes wide as he listened to Ji Chen reading the Dibao to him. When he heard this, his horror suddenly changed: "How is this good? Why can't His Royal Highness even save Zuo Shilang? ?"

His officials were bought in the hands of Zuo Shilang Pei Rengui. Now Pei Rengui has stepped down because of the violent impeachment of the four princes and one-party officials. Does this mean starting to purge officials from their line?

Moreover, Pei Rengui was impeached and stepped down, which is a political vane that shocked the officialdom.

Pei Rengui is one of the five confidants around the prince. Although his official position is not very high, he has a promising future. He has always been the standard-bearer of the prince’s first line of officials. If he falls, it means that none of the officials under the prince’s wings are safe!

Moreover, this also meant that the emperor was faintly dissatisfied with what the prince had done, otherwise he would not tacitly approve Pei Rengui's resignation after he was assassinated.

Ji Chen raised his head and said with a slight smile: "Boss, don't worry, this storm should end here."

Prefect Li Tian blinked his small eyes as big as Sesame and asked puzzledly: "What's this?"

Ji Chen talked eloquently: "This is the way that His Royal Highness Pei Rengui stepped down to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and Pei Rengui only stepped down and did not hold him accountable, and he was transferred to the Imperial Academy as a lecturer, and he did not stay away from the capital. This can be regarded as the Prince's protection for him, and a comeback in the future is just around the corner."

But in the eyes of the prefect Li Tian, ​​being transferred to the ghost place of the Hanlin Academy to attend the bachelor's degree meant being exiled. What life is there in such a bitter cold place where there is no oil or water?

Li Tian said with a bitter face, "What about me? Will I really not be held accountable?"

Ji Chen said: "If the old man can share the worries for the prince, he must sit back and relax!"

Li Tian's spirit was shocked, and said: "Oh? How can I help the prince?"

Ji Chen said: "Naturally be loyal to the prince, worry about the prince's urgency, worry about the prince's worries!"

Li Tian immediately turned on his knees and kowtowed in the direction of Shenjing: "I am loyal to the prince, and I have no two minds!" He said, he raised his head and looked at Ji Chen with blank eyes, and said, "What should I do? I also hope that Master will give me some guidance, and I will thank you again in the future!"

Ji Chen's eyes quickly showed a trace of disdain, but he quickly hid it and said: "My elder only needs to think about what is the most hopeful thing your Royal Highness wants to see right now, and what is the least hopeful thing to see?"

Li Tian's face was blank, like a cloud of eight hundred miles down, his mouth opened but he couldn't speak.

The contempt in Ji Chen's eyes became more intense. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "The prince most hopes to see at this time is that things about Taiyang will no longer bother him, and the most afraid of seeing is Taiyang City. The matter once again spread and became the handle of the Four Princes attacking him! Therefore, the old man only needs to manage Taiyang in an orderly manner, it is enough to share the worries for the prince, and it is enough to commit crimes!"

Li Tian was overjoyed and quickly got up and said deeply towards Ji Chen: "This official is dull, then there is Master Lao!"

Ji Chen smiled and nodded, then bowed his head and said, "The villain has bowed his head and died!"

The two talked again, and Ji Chen got up to leave. Li Tianyi reluctantly took Ji Chen's hand and sent him to the door before leaving.

But Ji Chen was not touched by the prefect. He had already seen through the prefect, who was as stupid as a pig and had a cold and selfish temperament. Before his colleague and master contracted the disease, Li Tian did not care about him. After knowing that the other party was dead, I didn't even pay for the funeral expenses of a copper plate.

This allowed Ji Chen to naturally feel a sense of tragedy and sadness.

"But, if you don't do things for this stupid pig at the moment, where is the place where you get your head?" Ji Chen stood on the empty black street, he was helpless, a fire was burning in his heart, but he didn't know how to burn. Where.

And at this moment, a scream of screams suddenly sounded in the dark night far away in Taiyang City, and then the corner of the east part of the city boiled.

"Youkai, there are monsters!"

Even though they were far apart, Ji Chen could hear clearly.

For Taiyang City, which had just suffered a catastrophe, once again encountered a monster attack, it was really a leak in the night, the boat was broken and the wind was hit.

However, Ji Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly realized: his chance to come out!
