Chapter 253 Take the Initiative to Attack

After setting everything up, Xiao Tuo went to tell Murong Jie that Zian hadn't left the capital, and Murong Jie was furious.

"You know that in the meeting room just now, someone has already raised the rumor that Xia Zi'an can cure zombie diseases? After this rumor spreads wildly, how many people will force the king to order her to go to the epidemic area?"

"There is such a rumor among the people? Who released it? Isn't it harmful?" Xiao Tuo was taken aback.

"Who else? Whoever stirred up this matter is the one who spread the rumors." Murong Jie was obviously very angry and very tired. He was already very angry just dealing with the panic and speculation of those officials. , This also gave out rumors.

"It was Chen Taijun who intervened in this matter and asked Chen Liuliu to take the man away. Moreover, Chen Taijun heard the news that someone was ambushing along the road, so he can't leave."

Murong Jie said angrily: "Since I arranged for her to leave, it is natural that this is the point. I sent people to ambush along the road, but I also arranged people to counteract those killers."

Xiao Tuo was a little annoyed, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle this matter well."

"Forget it," Murong Jie thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Then did she think of a way to stay? Or, did she have some eyebrows or something?"

"She asked Boss Dao to transfer Ni Rong and others to the small courtyard of the Chen family, saying that she wanted to try to heal them."

Murong Jie frowned, "Then people must not let people know that there are zombie patients in Beijing, otherwise, this small courtyard of the Chen family will be trampled down soon."

"Someone is watching outside, but this small courtyard of the Chen family has an advantage. It has a tunnel and a secret room, which can lead directly to the outside of the city. If something happens, just escape from the tunnel immediately. Now Ni Rong and the others are placed in the In the underground chamber."

Murong Jie said in surprise: "True? The old lady still has this skill? This veteran is really unfathomable."

Although annoyed at Zian's disobedience, after hearing Xiao Tuo's words, he couldn't help feeling that this was a good arrangement, at least better than leaving the capital.

Under his nose, he was actually a little more at ease.

Su Qing came in with the night wind, and said softly: "My lord, the guards who went to Madman's Island are back."

Murong Jie raised his head suddenly, "Broadcast!"

A man in his thirties and forties walked in quickly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates are back."

Murong Jie looked at him and asked, "Did you find anything?"

The guard said: "According to the investigation of my subordinates, the lunatic brought back by the officials of the Huimin Bureau is Liu Yuyi's cousin. He got sick when he was 25 years old. The treatment has been fruitless for several years, and he showed the intention of hurting others." , I reported it to the government, but I don’t know how to calm down, until I killed two servants of the Liu family, and was sent to Madman’s Island.”

"Liu Changzhao?" Murong Jie frowned, remembering that when King Liang fell ill, he had treated him on his own initiative, which made King Liang's condition worse again.

I just don't know why, but the palace didn't take him out, and he still retains his official position.

"That's right, it's Liu Changzhao. It's a pity to talk about his cousin. He was also a talented scholar in Yushu Linfeng back then. He has outstanding literary talents, but he went crazy like this for no reason."

"Huh? The tone of your speech is a bit of an inside story. Don't worry, tell me about the situation on Madman's Island. Is anyone else on the island infected with this virus?"

The guard shook his head, "Going back to the lord, all the patients in Madman Island are not infected. This is really a very strange thing. There is no reason for him to get sick alone, right?"

Su Qing asked suspiciously: "Could it be that this disease didn't come from Madman Island? In this case, our previous speculation will be overturned, but why did the doctor from the Huimin Bureau take Liu from Madman Island? Did the imperial doctor’s cousin be brought back? Where will he be placed after he is brought back? There is a rule in my Dazhou law that all madmen who kill people will be locked up on Madman Island. Every three years, officials from the Huimin Bureau will go to the madman’s island The island will do an examination, and those who are cured can come back, but they still have to be imprisoned for observation.”

Xiao Tuo said lightly: "Who knows? Maybe someone is hiding in your Su Qing's house."

Su Qing was startled, "Xiao Tuo, what do you mean?"

Xiao Tuo glanced at him, and sneered, "Isn't that obvious? You, Su Qing, like lunatics the most, and Chen Liuliu, a female lunatic, don't you always keep in touch with her?"

Su Qing said: "I think you are crazy? Isn't this a serious matter? What are you doing with Chen Liuliu? She hasn't been pestering you recently, has she?"

Murong Jie glanced at the two of them angrily, "Okay, if you two don't listen, get out of here!"

Su Qing shut up, but gave Xiao Tuo a hard look, and Xiao Tuo also stared back at him, who has no eyes, really!

Murong Jie continued to ask: "Then what else was found on Madman's Island?"

The guard replied: "The subordinates didn't find anything unusual. The lunatic from the Liu family was detained separately because he was very aggressive. The guards on Madman Island said that he would go crazy several times a month. When I can’t find anyone to vent to, I hit the cage by myself.”

"Has there ever been a case of biting?" Su Qing asked quickly.

The guard said: "It has never happened before. The guards all said that they beat people at most, or bumped themselves into the cage, and they would not bite people."

Murong Jie pondered for a moment, could it be that he really guessed the wrong line?

No, that's right. At that time, he sent people to Shitou Village to arrest people, and it was this lunatic from the Liu family who was arrested.

At that time, it was certain that he was the source of the zombie disease. He was the one who bit the villagers of Stone Village first.

Moreover, Xia Huaijun deliberately let this person go at that time, which can prove that he has a close relationship with this person.

"Now, what is Zian's opinion?" Murong Jie suddenly thought of this.

Xiao Tuo said: "She insisted on staying, and listened to what she told Chen Liuliu to turn passive into active."

"Turn passive into active?"

"Yes, I asked Chen Liuliu to deliver a letter to Miss Hu's family today."

Murong Jie thought for a while, then smiled suddenly, "I understand."

"What does that mean? I heard that after receiving the letter, the Miss Hu family took the initiative to ask the prince out, and she made an appointment in the Mercy Courtyard. This incident spread all over the city. Everyone said that Miss Hu's family was attracted to the prince."

Murong Jie smiled faintly, "Yes, you said that Miss Hu's family has fallen in love with the prince, so who should be nervous?"

"Of course it's from the Prime Minister's mansion. Shouldn't you be in a hurry? Once the Hu family's eldest lady says she wants to be a princess, with the financial resources of the Hu family, the princess will be safe."

"Alright, let's mess with them first." Murong Jie let go of his heart slowly. It seems that he has always underestimated Zian. Perhaps, he should rest assured that she has enough ability to protect herself. In addition, there is still the power to counterattack.

Murong Jie ordered to go down, "Come here, get your horse ready."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Tuo asked.

"Of course I went to watch the excitement." Murong Jie smiled.

Su Qing and Xiao Tuo glanced at each other, and after being dazed, they each snorted, turned their heads, with indignation on their faces.
