"I didn't do anything. How could I be tired? Thank you for your concern."

"Have a good night's rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Although Baizhi Ling didn't say that she was tired, she was still a little tired after a day's running. She lay down after Baili Moyu left to wash.

But she didn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about the Jincheng plague in her mind. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, Bai Zhiling and Li Qing went out of the palace. In case, Bai limo sent Qingcheng to follow her.

"Where is Miss Bai going?"

"I'd like to go to the home of the first patient to find this disease."

Qingcheng did not have any doubt, driving a horse with Angelica dahurica Ling left.

During the day, she can see the situation in Jincheng better.

To her surprise, the streets of Jincheng are almost as spacious as Kyoto. Although the shops on both sides of the street are closed, we can imagine how prosperous the city was before.

The carriage crossed the long street and came to a small alley. Because the alley was too narrow, the carriage could not get in. They could only get off at the entrance of the alley and walk in.

The family was in the middle of the alley, and the door was closed as they passed.

Li Qing came forward and knocked on the door.

It took some time for someone to come out and open the door.

It's a half year old boy.

"Who are you?"

"We are from the palace. We want to know something about the plague here."

When the boy heard the word plague, a touch of fear flashed in his eyes. "I don't think there's any plague in my family anymore."

"Don't be afraid. We're just here to learn something. It won't hurt you in any way."

The boy hesitated for a long time before he said, "you wait." Then he closed the door and left.

After a while, the closed door opened again.

The boy asked them in.

The furnishings in the house are very simple. There are a lot of firewood in the yard. There are only three rooms.

A woman with a headscarf saw them coming in and invited them to the hall in the middle.

"I don't know how many officials are coming today, but what's the matter?" The woman doesn't talk nonsense either. She asks directly.

"We heard that your husband got the disease first, didn't we?"

When it comes to her husband who died not long ago, the woman looks sad.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "yes, we thought he had eaten the wrong food at the beginning, but it took only a few days There's no one left! "

Baizhiling quietly relieved for a while, after the woman's mood was slightly stable, she said, "before that, did you find anything wrong?"

The woman was silent for a long time before shaking her head.

"He used to work in a restaurant. Every day he either went to the restaurant or went home. Is there anything wrong?"

"What about food?"

"To eat?"

"Dad often eats in restaurants, not at home."

The woman nodded and said, "well, because I help in the back kitchen of the restaurant, the restaurant will give me a bite to eat."

Angelica dahurica Ling asked some questions again. After she didn't get any useful clues, she left some cakes and left.

"Where are we going now, miss?"

Baizhiling closed her eyes and leaned in the carriage, sorting out the information she just got in her mind.

"Go and see that restaurant."

"Yes."

The restaurant is not far from the alley. Just walk around two blocks.

"The restaurant is closed."

When people are in danger, where else do restaurants dare to open their doors to do business? Even if they dare, no one will eat.

Angelica dahurica Ling pursed lips. "Go to the back door."

"Yes."

When I came to the back door, I saw two guys chopping firewood. They were surprised to see baizhiling.

"Who are you and what are you doing here? We don't open the door now. Let's go. "

"We're here for the shopkeeper."

"The shopkeeper is not here."

"We are from the palace. We have been ordered to find out about the plague."

When they heard the word "Wangfu", they were afraid.

"You wait." They looked at each other, and one of them turned and walked into the restaurant.

"Where is your kitchen?"

"Yes, over there." The man left pointed to a room near the door.

Baizhiling walked past.

Because it had been closed for a while, the kitchen door was covered with dust, and there was nothing in it except some bacon, bacon and cooking utensils.

Baizhiling went to the dark smoked meat hanging on the stove and looked at it.

"The fish looks strange."Among several pieces of smoked meat, there is a very slender fish, whose body is only the size of one of her fingers, a bit like a rice eel, but its head is flat and round. It looks strange. Even though its appearance has been smoked black, when it is blown by the wind, it can be seen flashing a touch of colorful light from time to time.

"Miss, here comes the shopkeeper." Li Qing went to the kitchen door.

Baizhiling took back her sight and went out.

The shopkeeper is a short, fat, middle-aged man.

"Shopkeeper, excuse me."

The shopkeeper's face was tired and forced to smile. "I hear you are from the palace?"

"Yes, I want to know something from the shopkeeper."

"Please follow me to the house."

Baizhiling nodded and went into the inner room.

As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper sighed.

"I didn't expect that there would be a plague in Jincheng one day. It's not difficult before and after the disaster. Why Ah

Generally speaking, it is usually after some very serious natural disasters that a disastrous plague will occur.

But Jincheng has been in good weather in recent years. This year, it has a good harvest. How can I expect such a thing to happen.

"When Wang Yilang was working in my shop, everything was very good, but some days, he suddenly said he was sick, so I asked him to go home for a few days. Who knows I never came back... "

When the shopkeeper said this, his face was even more helpless.

"Just because of this, everyone said that Wang Yilang did it because he ate something unclean in my restaurant. Gradually, fewer and fewer people came to my restaurant to eat, and later, more and more people died..."

Baizhiling seriously listen to the shopkeeper said, do not let go of any small details.

"Oh, by the way, I thought of one thing. Before Wang Yilang said that he had a stomachache, he and some guys in the back kitchen stole the game I bought from the hunter. At that time, they were severely punished by me."

Angelica dahurica frowned. "Game?"

"Yes, there's a lot of game left in the kitchen, because there's no business and no one to eat."

"Can the shopkeeper sell me those game?"
