Qingyan's words made Xuanyuan Yuzhen raise his hand and rub her head, "Yan'er, you can't force such a thing."
Qingyan looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face and knew what he was thinking. Maybe Xuanyuan Yuzhen was indifferent and cruel, but for Qingyan, it was good to have such an elder brother. .
Besides, he was her aunt's only son, how could she just sit idly by and ignore him.
"Fourth brother, don't worry, we will definitely solve the problems caused by this plague properly." Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the serious expression on Qingyan's face and nodded seriously.
After Yaoji and the others reported everything, Wu Keshan came over and recounted what happened recently. The main point was that it was similar to the news they had just learned. The final point was that the plague was caused by man-made people. That's why it became what it is now.
"Wu Zhifu, we are going to the place where the people are besieged now. You take us there together." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Wu Keshan and said in a deep voice.
Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's cold attitude, Wu Keshan suddenly lost his confidence. To be honest, he did not agree with everyone going to that place. After all, that place was the source of the plague. If they were all infected with the plague, even the whole It is not an exaggeration to say that Wucheng was buried with him.
He naturally knew how much Emperor Hongjia loved Xuanyuan Yuzhen, and he also knew Xuanyuan Yuzhen's image among the people.
But now when he heard such a request from Xuanyuan Yuzhen, he didn't know how to speak.
"Prefect Wu." Murong Jingxuan said as he patted Wu Shang on the shoulder, "You should believe me."
After listening to Murong Jingxuan's words, Magistrate Wu raised his head and looked at Murong Jingxuan, "Your Highness, I am just worried that you will be infected with the plague. It's not that I don't believe you."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen naturally understands Wu Keshan's good intentions, but now that they have arrived in Wucheng, if they do not investigate this matter thoroughly, then what is the point of their trip to Wucheng
"Prefect Wu, you can rest assured. If we are all infected with the plague, then even I and the innocent people will be killed on the spot." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Wu Keshan and said calmly.
Seeing the death-defying expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face, Wu Keshan looked at them and nodded seriously, "Since His Highness has spoken, I will take you with him." When Wu Keshan thought of this, he held his hands tightly, His only hope now is that they can all come back alive.
"By the way, if a man in black comes looking for you, just take him directly to the common people." Murong Jingxuan thought that Chonglou was also on the way, so he faced Wu Keshan Serious instructions.
"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness." Wu Keshan looked at Murong Jingxuan and spoke respectfully.
Wu Keshan took them all to the place where the people were besieged. The people were all sallow and thin, as if they had not eaten for days. In other words, they could not find anything to eat at all and could only endure hunger. Starving until now.
Yaozhen and the others wanted to go in, but they were stopped by Qingyan. Qingyan looked at them and said seriously, "Yaoxie, your people here send some food. I have seen the people here for a long time." They haven’t eaten anything, and it’s obvious that these officers and soldiers didn’t send them food.”
"It's best to starve these people to death to prevent them from being infected with the plague. If it weren't for such refugees, we in Wucheng wouldn't be infected with the plague..." But before the officer and soldier could say anything, he fell straight down. And there was a silver willow leaf flying knife stuck in his throat.
"I tell you, whoever dares to abuse these people, your fate will be the same as him." Qingyan looked at the officials and said in a deep voice, "You are all raised by your parents. Just imagine, if your parents How will you feel if you are trapped here and don't give them food?"
Those people were all silent after listening to Qingyan's words, and then they respectfully opened the bamboo door for Qingyan and the others.
"Miss, you must pay attention to your health." Yaoji stood outside and looked at Qingyan with a worried look on her face, "I will do what you asked me to do immediately."
Qingyan looked at Yaoji and the others and nodded seriously, then turned and left as soon as Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen arrived.
There are hundreds of people besieged here. It can even be said that the people of a village are besieged again. In other words, only people with symptoms similar to the plague will be sent here.
And before they entered the depths, there were waves of stench, which must have been the smell of rotting corpses.
When they walked in, they discovered that these villagers had dug a big pit, and all the bodies of dead people had been thrown into the pit. It was precisely because there were no one knows how many corpses had accumulated that they issued a warning. Such a stench.
"Fourth brother, I have a fire here. Let's burn the bodies of these people." Qingyan looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face and said calmly.
But as soon as Qingyan finished her words, someone in the room started to retort, "They are all our relatives! According to our rules here, they must be buried in the sky, otherwise we will suffer retribution."
"Yes, yes! We have already suffered retribution. If we don't practice sky burial now, our entire Wucheng will be buried with us."
The so-called sky burial means that after death, the body is placed in an open space and allowed to be eaten by snakes, insects, rats and ants to complete their final mission.
This is probably why they never use cremation.
"Listen to me, the plague in Wucheng is man-made, not a natural disaster." Qingyan looked at the people and said calmly, "If you don't cremate these people now, then these people will have to die after they die. Peaceful.”
"Yes, these people have died of the disease. If you don't want more people to be sent here, then you must burn these corpses now. Otherwise, once the plague spreads, more people will be sacrificed. Life." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at them and spoke calmly.
Someone among them recognized that the speaker was Xuanyuan Yuzhen, the fourth prince of Donghe Kingdom. That person knew that Xuanyuan Yuzhen cared about the people. If not, he would not have volunteered to come to this place.
He looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and spoke first, "He is the fourth prince of the Living Bodhisattva of Donghe Kingdom! Let's just listen to the fourth prince and burn the bodies of these relatives. Think about it if more people come At this point, it’s us, the people, who are suffering!”
