Chapter 101: So many big eaters! Yi Chen's countermeasures, the angry umbrella girl.

Today is the third day that Yi Chen guards Longjiang Prefecture.

The rising sun still rises slowly from the east, shining on the earth.

There are more people in South City today than yesterday.

There is no other reason, people just seek benefits and avoid harm.

Thanks to Yi Chen's strategy of building a strong fortress and fighting a stupid battle, the safety of South City is already far ahead of the four major urban areas.

This has led to a general increase in prices in the south city.

Especially at the Hongchen Inn where Yi Chen was staying, Boss Shen was so happy that his teeth were about to pop out.

I'm making a lot of money. I'm making a lot of money.

He made the right choice in giving this gift.

At this time, Hongchen Inn.

Yi Chen was feasting on a table with eight people.

Yi Chen quickly finished off a fat and fragrant braised pork elbow, swallowing all of it, including the meat and bones.

Mo Yu stood aside and read the information slowly.

"Master, these are all the information you asked me to compile yesterday about rice, flour, grain, oil, and natural/unnatural deaths in South City."

"Well done. Remember, for all the people who died recently, even if it was a natural death, the cause of death must be recorded in detail. No one should be let off."

Yi Chen patted Captain Mo's shoulder in appreciation, and then started a new round of street patrol with the other guards.

Just like yesterday, Yi Chen was warmly welcomed by the people today.

"Master, give me a roast chicken."

"Master, please have a cake."

… Yi Chen naturally refused with a smile. It must be said that the feeling of being looked at with admiration seemed to be quite good.

At this moment, suddenly a burst of noise came into Yi Chen's ears and caught his attention.

A table of diners were causing trouble at a noodle stall.

"Boss, why are the noodles cooking so slowly? I'm so hungry."

"Sir, you've already eaten almost five bowls."

"Is it okay for me to have a good appetite? Do you think I don't have money to pay the bill?" A clerk in brocade clothes slapped a silver ingot of ten taels and put it on the table, "Hurry up and give it to me."

"This is really weird, why do I suddenly have such a good appetite?"

Yi Chen frowned when he heard this.

However, from the perspective of his mind's eye, he did not find anything unusual, so he had to move on.

As he walked, he suddenly noticed that there were more and more big eaters on the street.

Many wonders appeared.

There are men, women, young and old.

Especially after an eight-year-old child ate the equivalent of twenty steamed buns in front of Yi Chen, his face finally turned pale.

Something happened.

Even if this guy is a natural glutton, he can't eat food that is almost the same as his own weight.

"You really don't give me face~"

Yi Chen looked at the big eaters that appeared and talked to himself with his back to the light. The shadow cast by the sunlight behind him suddenly became a little hideous.

It was like a ferocious beast opening its sleepy eyes.

The ferocious beast is going to eat people.

Mo Yu, who was one body position behind Yi Chen, couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

He heard a hint of suppressed cruelty and anger in Yi Chen's words.

"Captain Mo, I need you to do two things. Immediately mobilize people to count all the people who have had unusually good appetites recently. Ask a medical expert to examine them carefully. I want detailed records of what these people have eaten and where they have been recently."

"The second thing is to immediately check all the important water sources in the city."

The sudden appearance of so many big eaters made Yi Chen instinctively alert.

Mo Yu also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately took orders to investigate.

However, not long after, a group of guards came to report the news.

The water source has been under the monitoring of the Zhen'an Division and there is no problem.

As for the people who were found to have great appetites, medical experts could not find the cause after examination.

Weird.

The situation suddenly became confusing.

Epidemic investigation has always been a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task, requiring the mobilization of a lot of manpower and material resources.

Those who learn of their own abnormalities may not necessarily cooperate with the government's investigation, because they are afraid that they are not sure how the people from the Zhen'an Division will deal with them.

If the source of these people’s mutations is not found out quickly, who knows how many more people will die.

Nowadays, what we are fighting for is time.

This immediately caused the situation to become deadlocked.

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

"There are so many people in the entire South City District, and we only have limited manpower. If we search them one by one, how long will it take us to collect so many confessions?" Captain Mo asked hesitantly.

The current situation is that time is life.

"What should we do?" Yi Chen suddenly turned around and smiled.

"Captain Mo, do you think we are outnumbered?"

"No, we have too many people."

"If my guess is correct, the person behind the scenes must have spread the virus through special methods and has special means to evade our detection."

"But he can escape detection by magic, but can he escape so many eyes in South City?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I don't believe that the person behind the scenes could have lived in seclusion these past few days and done something so big without making any noise."

“So, we have quite a bit of people.”

"Captain Mo, this is war."

"One of the people I admire most once said that the deepest power of war is rooted in the people."

"Since the other side is playing dirty tricks on me, I will let him see the vast ocean of people's war."

"All the people of South City are my eyes, and they are our people."

"Captain Mo, pass on my order to take under my control all those people who were reported by the people a few days ago for behaving differently from their usual behavior but who were found to be fine after testing."

"Don't worry, just arrest them. I'll see who dares to resist."

"Spread the word to me. From now on, the government office will start accepting reports of people whose behavior is different from the past. Once the report is proven to be true through polygraph, the first ten people who report will be rewarded with 20 taels each day, the eleventh to twentieth will be rewarded with 10 taels, the first two hundred people will be rewarded with 5 taels each, and the rest will be rewarded with 1 tael each."

"Find me a few flag officers in the Zhen'an Division who can perform lie detection on ordinary people. This can be done, right?"

"If you dare to lie in order to reward those who report against their will, send them out to grow potatoes."

"By the way, at the same time, we cannot stop investigating the people who have suddenly developed a big appetite."

Yi Chen's words directly brought the entire Nancheng District into an era of large-scale reporting.

In times of chaos, severe punishments should be used.

It’s all about racing against time!

He believed that this action would definitely buy precious time for epidemic investigation, and at the very least it would have the effect of deterring others and disrupting the spread of the virus.

This is the most effective method he can think of now.

Following Yi Chen's order, the entire South City District instantly became lively.

In the afternoon, in Tongqian Lane, Mr. Li was still happily selling his wonton noodles when suddenly a guard from the Zhen'an Division came over with two yamen runners.

"Li Xiucai, come with us~"

In an instant, beads of sweat began to seep out of Li Xiucai's forehead.

South City, inside Tingyu Pavilion.

A celadon teacup was thrown heavily to the ground, and a string of vicious curses came out of the umbrella girl's mouth.

"@#￥%..."

"How dare he do that, this bull nose!"

Yi Chen's unethical behavior had the opposite effect, and Li Xiucai was arrested and sent to a concentration camp.

After venting her anger, the umbrella girl calmed down and asked a man in black who was kneeling in the hall, "Where is Lord Demon Bug now?"

"The master was sealed and was taken away along with Li Xiucai."

"Where are our other informants in the South District?"

"They were taken away because they were reported. Sir, we are basically blind and deaf in South City now. If our people do anything out of the ordinary, they might be reported..."

Umbrella girl: “…”

"@#￥%..."

The umbrella girl, who had finally suppressed her anger, could no longer hold back and began another round of oral gymnastics. She angrily cursed: "You idiot, you are not worthy of being a human being!"

"Dear mother, dear mother~"

For a moment, the entire lobby was filled with the umbrella girl's curses.

.I went out to do some work today. I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel something is wrong even after writing for a long time. I am still procrastinating until now.

I will update 8,000 words tomorrow to make up for it.

I still owe you four chapters 　　I will definitely write at least 8,000 tomorrow, and I won’t go to bed until I finish writing 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
