Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 348 A helpless move

"Panic? Are you sure this is panic?" Yang Yanzhang asked.

"Your Highness, this matter is extremely urgent, and I have no choice but to do so." Another person stood up to help everyone.

Yang Yanzhang stared at the middle-aged man and looked at it carefully, then sneered and said: "Are you the magistrate of Jiangning County? I remember that this area is not your jurisdiction, right? If you speak like this, are you trying to put my words aside?" land?"

"I don't dare, please calm down the prince. I am just a commoner." Jiangning County Magistrate's face turned red, but he still insisted.

"Do you think this prince is questioning you?" Yang Yanzhang looked at the other person and said.

"The general will not dare." Jiangning County Magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and stuttered.

"Since you don't dare, then please tell me what happened here? Why do you want to prevent me from entering the city? Isn't my identity enough?" Yang Yanzhang said aggressively.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. It is true that there is a plague spreading here, and I am worried about it."

"There is a plague, so what? The prince is leaving? Is there no other way?" Yang Yanzhang laughed.

Then his face turned cold and he asked sternly: "What is your plan? Who gave you the courage to stop His Highness from entering the city! Do you think that this Prince is a sick man, useless and vulnerable?"

"I don't dare!" Jiangning County Magistrate knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted in fear.

Yang Yanzhang stared at the Jiangning County Magistrate's actions in stunned silence. Didn't this guy have a brain convulsion? At such an old age, you still kowtow to yourself?

"Get down quickly! What are you doing!" Yang Yanzhang watched the other person standing up tremblingly and unsteadily, then quickly pulled the other person up and said, "Let's do this, let's talk while walking."

"Yes." Magistrate Jiangning wiped away the tears on his cheeks and took a deep breath.

"Brother Prince, this old man scared me. He almost fell to the ground just now." Li Zhe quietly pulled Yang Yanzhang's sleeve and muttered in a low voice.

"That's because you are too stupid!" Yang Yanzhang rolled his eyes at him, then looked at the Jiangning County Magistrate and said, "I would like to know, is the disaster here true?"

"I dare not deceive His Highness the Crown Prince. There is indeed a strange virus spreading here. Although I try my best to stop it, it is to no avail.

Moreover, I have ordered people to move a lot of the refugees out of the city. I believe they will all be gone soon. Then His Highness the Prince will come back with his troops. "

"Weird? What kind of weird virus can actually make the refugees in Jiangzhou City flee northward regardless of their lives? And flee in large numbers?

He even did not hesitate to conflict with officials and gentry! The prince really wants to know. Yang Yanzhang frowned and expressed doubts about Jiangning County Magistrate's explanation.

"Back to Your Highness, I don't know the specific reason. I just vaguely know that this virus is extremely overbearing. Anyone who is bitten or infected will basically die suddenly within half a day."

"And what's wrong? Tell me the important point!" Yang Yanzhang urged with some annoyance.

"And this virus spreads very quickly, so I have nothing to do, lest it cause panic in the city and affect the normal order of the people." Jiangning County Magistrate said while wiping sweat, obviously very afraid of the prince Yang Yanzhang. "Then find this virus and develop an antidote! No matter how difficult it is or how long it takes, it must be developed for this prince."

"Your Highness, I have tried to find this kind of virus, but I can't find out how it appeared in the city. Moreover, this virus is very strange. It emits a stink every morning and evening, and there is also a stench. .”

Li Zhe was a little confused as he listened, but Yang Yanzhang understood what the other party meant. This was the legendary infectious disease, also known as the plague.

However, wasn't this kind of thing only spread in southern Xinjiang and Tubo? Why did it suddenly appear in the Tang Dynasty?

Is the plague breaking out here? And it happened overnight. This is simply unbelievable. Could it be that there were spies in the Tang Dynasty who introduced the plague into the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

Moreover, it seems that the plague only broke out on the border of the Tang Dynasty and did not break out elsewhere.

Yang Yanzhang couldn't help but think of the plague that swept across China in history. If it really spread in the Tang Dynasty, then this matter would be more serious.

"Plague? What is plague? What does this have to do with?" Brothers Li Zhe and Li Zhe suddenly felt strange when they saw the two ministers lowering their heads and whispering.

Of course they don't understand what the plague is. After all, they have grown up and have never encountered the plague, let alone seen it with their own eyes. It doesn't exist.

"Your Highness, I and others are discussing and are preparing to find the instigator of this as quickly as possible, and at the same time send troops to arrest them, so as to eliminate the plague as soon as possible and save the innocent people." Jiangning County Magistrate said with a solemn expression.

"Okay, you immediately organize people to search for it. Once found, take control immediately. I want to see who is behind this time!"

After Yang Yanzhang finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the city gate. At the same time, he turned to look at Jiangning County Magistrate and asked, "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty Jiang Ning." County Magistrate Jiangning followed Yang Yanzhang and answered cautiously.

Yang Yanzhang read it silently, then raised his head and said, "How far is Jiangning County from Luoyang?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have just completed the construction and haven't had time to move yet." Jiangning County Magistrate replied cautiously.

"Yes." Yang Yanzhang responded lightly, and then continued walking down the tower.

"Prince, your Majesty has summoned you." Jiangning County Magistrate asked as he watched Yang Yanzhang walking down the city tower and hurriedly followed him a few steps.

Yang Yanzhang stopped, turned to look at Jiangning County Magistrate who was still standing there, and sighed: "Since my father wants to see this prince, then hurry up and follow him.

But if you can't find it, it means you are incompetent. When the time comes, I will ask you for help. "

The Jiangning County Magistrate hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then followed Yang Yanzhang and others. Not long after, the group appeared at the gate of Luoyang Palace.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my orders. I have sent people to seal the city gate, and also sent people to various states to mobilize troops. Now, except for some homeless refugees, the rest of the people in the city are isolated. No one is allowed to do so without permission. near."

Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, glanced at Yang Yanzhang and Li Zhe, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, I heard that you went to Jiangning last night?"
