I, The Identity of the Immortal Master, Has Been Exposed

Chapter two hundred and eighteen: martial law throughout the city

"The whole city is under martial law! 99

"Everyone, don't go out, stay at home quietly, there will be officials to deliver food to you every day, don't go out!"

In Taiyuan Mansion, a group of soldiers wearing bright light armor held sharp blades and drove all the people who were wandering in the city back to their homes.

The gate of Taiyuan City was filled with sandbags to resist horses. Hundreds of soldiers were guarding the gate of the city with long bows and short swords, and the security was extremely high.

In front of them, there are hundreds of people from Taiyuan Mansion, each with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"What is this doing?"

"Why did you block the city gate, we are going out of the city! 35

Behind the crowd, in a carriage, a fat man wearing a cap looked at the heavily guarded city gate ahead, sweating profusely.

"Master, no, these soldiers won't let us pass at all!

A young servant squeezed over from the crowd and said in a panic.

"Damn it!

Wang Dafu kept wiping away his sweat, and his face turned pale.

This time, he came to Taiyuan Mansion to do business. He just purchased a bunch of fruits to be sold in Chang'an City. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

The fresher the fruit, the higher the price. Every day it is delayed, all the money lost is white. It takes 26 dollars!

Wang Dafu was so anxious that he even cried.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in the corner of his eyes, Wang Dafu's eyes lit up immediately, he jumped out of the carriage in a panic, and chased after the man.

"3tl,tλ..."

Zhang Luo stopped, turned to look at the fat man who was rushing towards him, frowned and said, "It turned out to be Wang Yuanwai, why are you running here if you don't stay at the inn?

"Wang Yuanwai, I, am I planning to leave the city!" Wang Dafu said while panting, "You know, I'm in the fruit business, and I can't delay a day, why don't you help me talk to me? , let's go out first! 99

With that said, Wang Dafu took out two pieces of silver from his arms and secretly stuffed it back into Zhang Luo.

"I can't make it!" Zhang Luo quickly waved his hand and took two steps back subconsciously.

Wang Dafu's hand froze in midair, stunned.

He looked at Zhang Luo in confusion. He had not been doing business with Chang'an City and Hedong Road for a short time. He was also very familiar with Zhang Luo. He knew very well that this guy was greedy for money. Well, today this is a full 22 taels of silver, can't even go out?

Wang Dafu's heart tightened, and he stepped forward again and shoved the silver into Zhang Luo's hands again, with an anxious look on his face: "Master Zhang, you will give me a thorough understanding, what happened in such a heavily guarded place, no... Isn't there going to be a war?"

Zhang Luo took the silver tael and figured it out in his hand, and a tangled color flashed on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Dafu gritted his teeth and stuffed two pieces of silver in the past.

Zhang Luo's heart was overjoyed, and he secretly said in his heart, "Sir, it's not that I am lax, it's just that the other party has given too much!"

He looked left and right and came to Wang Dafu's side, and said softly, "The closure of the city is His Majesty's order, and no one may disobey it. 99

"Wang Yuanwai, you should find a hotel as soon as possible, the city gate will not be open for a day, you must not go out, otherwise, your life will not be guaranteed!

Wang Dafu swallowed his saliva, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face: "Master Zhang, what happened?

Zhang Luo lowered his figure and said in a low voice: "I only tell you one person, you must not spread it out! 35

"In my Taiyuan mansion, smallpox is about to break out!

"…what?

There was no accident, and the news of the smallpox outbreak in Hedong Road finally spread.

The entire Hedong Road was like a nuclear bomb was dropped, which completely broke the peace of the past. Everyone was in danger, and everyone with their families wanted to escape from this place of death.

But fortunately, Li Shimin's preliminary preparations are quite appropriate.

Hou Junji personally sat in Taiyuan Mansion, 50,000 Tang Dynasty elites and 30,000 Taiyuan Mansion guards, firmly controlled every village and every street in Hedong Road.

After Hou Junji personally executed two bastards who wanted to escape from Taiyuan Mansion in chaos, all the people were frightened and shivered by this iron-blooded method, and they honestly hid at home and never dared to go out again. .

It was only then that medical officers wearing masks and rubber gloves entered the epidemic area to go door-to-door for detailed inspections.

Once a patient is found, the whole family will be isolated in a centralized manner, and it is absolutely not allowed to hide their hearts privately.

After a full seven or eight days, finally, more than 20 people infected with smallpox were found in Hedong Road, and a dozen of them were concentrated in Taiyuan Mansion.

The once prosperous Taiyuan Mansion was like a ghost at this time, the doors and windows were closed everywhere, not even a single citizen could be seen on the street, only a pair of soldiers patrolling with masks.

Although the epidemic seems to be under control, neither Li Shimin nor his officials have relaxed in the slightest. Everyone understands that the control is only superficial. Smallpox is spread through the air. Once a fish slips through the net. , that all the hard work of everyone during this time will be in vain.

Before finding a cure for smallpox, no one dared to relax in the slightest.

Taiyuan House.

In the prefect's mansion.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly circled around the hall, looking up from time to time to look at the gate of the courtyard, his face full of anxiety.

After not seeing him for a long time, Cheng Yaojin's face became more frosty.

Since the order of Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin has taken a group of henchmen to go deep into Hedong Road, looking for sick cows with cowpox everywhere.

After a detailed investigation, the target was finally focused on Taiyuan House. After all, almost 90% of the cases that have been discovered so far came from Taiyuan House. From this, it is inferred that the sick cows are likely to come from this Taiyuan House.

"Brother Zhijie, you can't stop turning my head, you made me dizzy." Hou Junji, who was sitting in the hall, took a sip of tea, looked at Cheng Yaojin and said helplessly.

"Humph!" Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly, snatched the teapot from his hand, and said breathlessly, "According to me, it's been ten days since I arrived at Taiyuan Mansion 673, but I still haven't found a cow with cowpox.

This sick cow cannot be found in one day, and smallpox will be raging for a day, is it possible that Taiyuan Mansion will be sealed forever, how should we explain to the Immortal Master, how should we explain to His Majesty!”

"Don't worry!" Hou Junji snapped his fingers and smiled calmly: "Since there is smallpox, the sick cow must be in Taiyuan Mansion, as long as you go from house to house, you will be able to find its trace, a big cow is hard to come by. Can it be eaten by someone else?

"General!"

As soon as the voice fell, an anxious voice sounded outside the door.

Cheng Yaojin turned back quickly, and saw a soldier hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

Cheng Yaojin's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Have you found it?"

"Look, I found it, but..." The soldier glanced at Cheng Yaojin hesitantly, hesitantly, and handed a roll of brocade to him: "General, you'd better see for yourself!

"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin frowned and took a look, his face suddenly distorted: "Damn!

"What's wrong?" Hou Junji walked over to Cheng Yaojin, frowned at Cheng Yaojin and said, "It's good to find it, why are you so angry?"

"See for yourself!" Cheng Yaojin's face was gloomy, and he handed the scroll to Hou Junji: "This time, something big is going to happen!"

"What big thing can happen..." Hou Junji scolded with a smile, took the scroll from Cheng Yaojin's hand and took a closer look, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his face distorted and angered: "Damn! 39

"These goddamn bastards!
