Luo Zhifu's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Chen Yong in horror, and said in a trembling voice,
"I will go recruit soldiers now..."
Fortunately, he surrendered in time, otherwise he would have been dead by now.
He immediately understood what King Qianhuang meant, and Prefect Jia was probably doomed.
Serves you right!!
Look at what Magistrate Jia did, it was simply insane.
So many people should not have died in Anyun City. It was because of Magistrate Jia's greed and selfishness that so many people died in vain.
He knew that some people would profit from disasters, but he didn't expect that the prefect of a city would take the lead in doing so. It was simply inhumane.
After Shen Yong watched Magistrate Jia leave, he turned to look at Tan Qinghui.
"Second sister-in-law, I've filled the empty rooms in the backyard with medicinal herbs for you. One of the rooms is filled with mugwort and mugwort incense."
"Too many people died in Anyun City. My second sister-in-law led people to burn mugwort throughout the city to prevent the plague."
Tan Qinghui's heart trembled, and she looked at Chen Yong nervously.
"Seventh brother, do you feel the plague?"
She almost forgot that there was a high probability of a plague breaking out after a disaster.
Especially when there are a lot of dead bodies, it is more likely that a plague will occur.
"Don't be nervous, sister-in-law." Chen Yong smiled. "It's just a precaution. Burning some mugwort won't hurt. The people are too weak. Burning some mugwort can help strengthen their resistance."
Tan Qinghui took a deep breath and nodded. "Seventh brother, what you said makes sense. I'll arrange for someone to burn the moxa right away."
"Let's go together." Lu Man and others also quickly got up and followed Qin Qinghui to the backyard.
Chen Yong frowned and thought carefully, then decided to go to Anyun City to deal with the corpses in advance.
.......
Anyun City....
"The Dragon King appeared in Fanjing City!?"
Magistrate Jia frowned and looked at the several staff members around him, "Have you heard about this?"
The staff looked at each other, and one of them, the man with triangular eyes, stepped forward.
"My Lord, I have heard the news."
"However, I think this may be false."
"Why?" Magistrate Jia looked at Triangle Eyes in confusion.
Triangle Eyes paused and said, "During this period, no one has heard of thunder and rain in Fanjing City."
"If the Dragon King appears, how could there be no thunder and rain?"
"If there's no thunder and no rain, where does the water come from? It's really fake."
Magistrate Jia nodded and said, "What you said does make sense."
"But I heard that a Thousand Brilliance King appeared. He was protected by the Dragon King, who simply opened his mouth and sprayed water. There was no need for thunder and rain."
"Haven't you heard?"
This news has spread throughout the city, so there is no reason why the staff did not hear it.
Triangle Eyes was stunned. "I did hear it, but it felt too fake, so..."
What a boast! Why doesn't he just say that King Qianhuang is the Dragon King? That's really funny.
The man with a mustache stroked his beard and nodded.
"Yes, I heard that too. This rumor is really false."
"And where did that Qianhuang King come from? It's totally incomprehensible."
"Maybe the people of Fanjing City have gone crazy, and that's why these crazy rumors are spreading."
Triangle Eyes also echoed, "Yes, this news is really fake and has no credibility at all."
"Maybe Fanjing City has become a dead city now. A month ago, Fanjing City came to us to borrow water, but in the past month, there has been no news. I suspect that everyone in Fanjing City has died..."
“.......”
Magistrate Jia listened to his staff's words, frowned, and looked at them with a sigh.
"It doesn't matter whether the news from Fanjing City is true or not. What matters is that this rumor has spread throughout the city."
"The people believe that the Dragon King has appeared in Fanjing City, and many are already clamoring to open the city gates to allow them to go to Fanjing City."
And most importantly, no one knows who spread the rumor that this prefect was corrupt and incompetent, withholding disaster relief grain and using water for his own benefit, not caring about the lives of the people, etc...
These rumors aroused the anger of the people in the city, and some people started to cause trouble.
Although...these rumors are true, he did all these things behind the scenes.
Now that the matter has been brought to light, he, the prefect, is forced to step in and settle it.
If he really stood up, he would be slapping himself in the face.
The staff were stunned, pulled the corners of their lips awkwardly, and closed their mouths silently.
They had also heard the rumors spreading throughout the city.
This matter is very strange. How could someone tell these things to others? The people involved in these things are all wealthy people in this city. Those wealthy people will definitely not betray themselves.
The man with triangular eyes pursed his lips and glanced at Magistrate Jia meaningfully.
"Sir, I'm afraid there's a traitor. You can investigate who spread the rumors and push him out as a scapegoat."
There is less and less water in Anyun City, so it would be better if fewer people could share the pie.
Magistrate Jia raised his eyebrows and immediately nodded in understanding.
"That makes sense. There must be a traitor."
Magistrate Jia glanced at his staff.
"Who do you think spread the rumors?"
The staff looked at each other and immediately had a candidate in mind.
"The Zhang family has been somewhat dissatisfied with the water allocation recently..."
The Zhang family is the richest family in Anyun City. They have a large family population and a huge demand for water.
It just so happened that the Zhang family’s house was in a good location, and there was a well in the shade that still had a lot of water.
However, the well has been taken over and guarded by the prefect's men.
