Chapter 277 Madman Island
Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at Xiao Xiao and frowned. Was it the empress dowager who asked him to monitor the epidemic area?
She knows Xiao Xiao well. He is a soldier with a high degree of obedience. Once it is defined as his duty, he must do it.
Sure enough, Xiao Xiao said solemnly: "Everything here will be reported to the Empress Dowager truthfully."
Taifu Liang nodded, "With the prince as a witness, I am not targeting you."
Xiao Xiao didn't make a sound, but his expression was a little dignified.
Prince Li looked at Mrs. Liang's slightly smug face, and felt very unhappy. It seems that he was used again today, once again!

Crazy Island.
Just as Murong Jie expected, Zi An and Xiao Tuo went to Madman Island.
Crazy Island is an island outside Jichun, it takes about a day to go to Jichun, and then cross the sea, it takes at least a day and a half one way.
Zian asked Xiao Tuo to accompany him, Xiao Tuo originally disagreed, but Zian showed him something and said something, and he followed.
Zian showed him the tooth marks on her wrist, and she said, "Wang Yu bit it."
Madman Island is guarded, and generally officers and soldiers who make mistakes will be sent to Madman Island as guards. They can't go back, so they can only guard this group of madmen day and night. As time goes by, their temperament becomes Very violent.
They did not go ashore from the front, but went around to the back mountain.
"I think you are crazy. You let Wang Yu bite you. You are really sick. I don't care about you. I will kill you first." This sentence, Tuo said all the way.
Zian felt that her ears were covered with calluses. After landing, she sat down and ate some arsenic in the fresh water on the island. Looking at the wound on her hand, it was the second day now, and the wound was not as red and swollen as the first day.
"Are you annoying? As I said, arsenic can heal freshly bitten wounds." Zian also said this sentence all the way.
"Then you just use arsenic to treat those patients." Xiao Xiao said angrily.
"I also said that arsenic is only effective for patients who have just been bitten. Now I have no way of knowing how long the arsenic will not work after being bitten. If it does not work after more than half an hour, do you think that once the epidemic breaks out, Can we ensure that everyone takes medicine half an hour after being bitten? Moreover, arsenic cannot be used indiscriminately, and once poisonous things are out of supervision, big trouble will happen.”
"Then you think Madman Island has an antidote?"
Zi'an said: "The epidemic spread from Madman's Island. This disease always has a source, which is the same as poison. Wherever there are poisonous weeds, there will always be an antidote nearby. Now I know that arsenic can relieve symptoms. , but also know that people who have just been bitten can be detoxified with arsenic, which is an explanation to the court, but if we want to completely turn defeat into victory and uproot this thread, we must come here, first find the prescription, and then find the zombie patient Bring over the behind-the-scenes messenger."
Xiao Tuo said depressedly: "But if you don't see anyone for a few days, someone will definitely say that you ran away."
"So what? They can't find me now, and I am a sinner now, but when I go back with the prescription, I will be a great hero again." Zian didn't care at all.
"You didn't even tell the prince, it's not right." Xiao Tuo tried hard to find a reason to accuse her.
Zian stood up and walked forward, "It's not that I don't want to tell him, but after I found you, I found someone following you. We need to get rid of those people as soon as possible."
"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, you are right in everything you say." Xiao Xiao walked forward sullenly.
Chen Fu.
"I think that the prince doesn't have to go to Madman Island himself, he just sends someone there." Chen Taijun smoked a pipe, looking calm and relaxed.
"It seems that Taijun is sure that she went to Madman's Island."
Chen Taijun exhaled smoke rings, smiled and waved his hands, "No, I'm not sure, I'm just guessing."
"The old matriarch, can you guess how many passers-by followed her?" Murong Jie's eyes showed shrewdness.
"Two ways, one way belongs to Concubine Gui, one way, I don't know!" Chen Taijun smiled slyly.
Murong Jie also smiled, "I don't know if the other person from the road is Chen Taijun's person?"
Chen Taijun raised his head and looked at it, and asked the nurse who was serving beside him, "Old thing, where are the grandchildren of Laoshen?"
The nanny replied with a smile: "Taijun is forgetful, haven't they been assigned by you to do something?"
"Is this the case? What are you doing?" the old lady asked with a blank face.
Momo glanced at Murong Jie, "They said they went to a certain island and brought someone back safely."
The old matriarch let out a cry, and asked again: "Then do you think, can those grandchildren of Laoshen bring them back?"
The nanny bowed, "Didn't the old matriarch say that? When this Chen family man makes a move, will the monster walk away with his head in his arms?"
Murong Jie stood up and cupped his hands, "My lord, thank the old lady first."
"Send off the prince!" The old lady didn't get up, but just made a gesture of sending her off.
Just as Murong Jie turned around, the Taijun suddenly said, "Do you know why the old man told the prince not to leave the capital?"
Murong Jie smiled slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I know, chaos is about to break out in this capital."
There was a big reward in the eyes of the old lady, "The prince is wise."
Murong Jie turned around and left.
That night, Murong Jie's people intercepted a group of zombie patients near Shitou Nunnery.
This group of patients was led by several nuns and came out of the tunnel. Murong Jie's ambush was successful and more than a dozen people were captured.
When the guard reported to Murong Jie, Murong Jie frowned, "A dozen people?"
"Yes, it has been sent to the epidemic area now, and it happened that General Su Qing also sent the patients from the barracks and Northwest Street there."
Murong Jie stood up and said solemnly: "The whole city is under martial law, no one is allowed to go out easily."
The guard was startled, "My lord, why is this?"
"It's impossible to have only a dozen people, they still have another den." Murong Jie said in a deep voice.
The order of martial law was issued too late. After the order was passed on, people came to report one after another, saying that zombie patients were biting people madly in many places in central Beijing.
But one night, the reported number of bitten people has reached hundreds, but this number is only the patients who have been taken down, and there are still people who have not been taken down. I don’t know how many.
Early the next morning, Xiao Xiao went into the palace to report to the Empress Dowager that Xia Zian was not in the epidemic area.
Taifu Liang added a sentence, saying that the doctor in the epidemic area said that Xia Zian could not cure the epidemic and had already fled.
The empress dowager was furious, without thinking carefully, she ordered Xia Zi'an to be arrested, and threatened to question Prime Minister Xia who had issued the military order together.
Before the early dynasty, Murong Jie ordered the soldiers and horses brought back by Xiao Xiao to enter Beijing to maintain law and order. When seeing zombie patients, they immediately took them to the epidemic area.
In the early morning, he asked the Minister of the Ministry of War not to investigate the brawls in the army. He would send troops to set up checkpoints in the middle of the capital and outside the city to investigate all people who left the city and entered the city.
However, it was opposed by Liang Taifu.
