Soul echo

Chapter 664 Assassination
Just when Lilian turned her head to look at the group of people coming out of the city, a player whispered in her ear: "A god catcher is following us..."

Lilian was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at the players around her out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't see the God Catcher among them.

Not only now, but I didn't seem to see it before.

After thinking about it for a while, Lilian understood what the God Catcher was thinking.

It's obviously not a problem for so many refugees to stay here. The god arrester is loyal to the emperor, and he will definitely not let the situation continue to be chaotic.

But relying on God to arrest himself, I am afraid that there is no way to put pressure on the prefect of Jianning. After all, he is a 'prefect', a high-ranking official in a prefecture.

Therefore, the god arrester needs to hide for the time being, and catch some clues of the prefect of Jianning, so as to threaten the prefect and let him accept these refugees.

Lilian nodded slightly, and then turned her full attention to the group of people opposite.

A large group of people surrounded two people, and the two people in the center of the crowd seemed to be at odds with each other, so that the crowd was clearly divided into two groups.

When the group of people approached, one of them shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Don't you even listen to the prefect?"

The yamen servants looked at each other and stopped their movements, but they did not obey the magistrate's order to drive away the refugees.

What Lilian said before had completely convinced them. Anyway, if they don't listen to the magistrate's order at this time, they will suffer in the future. It is better to do nothing, so as not to break out of conflict with the refugees and die unjustly here.

The refugees became nervous again, but this time, they all focused on Lilian.

Although they didn't know who that 'Yan Luo' was, they all heard clearly that Lilian's master was also a magistrate. If so, she should be able to communicate with the prefect of Jianning, right?

Seeing that group of people still wanting to get closer, Lilian shouted from a distance: "Stop! If you get any closer, you may be infected with the plague!"

As soon as these words came out, those people immediately stopped.

Without waiting for those people to speak, Lilian said first: "It is not sure whether the refugees are carrying the plague. If you get closer, you may be infected with the plague that you don't know if it exists!"

Lilian's intimidation had an effect - after hearing her words, those people not only stopped, but even raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, and took a few steps back, for fear that the plague would spread.

Immediately afterwards, the person who spoke just now continued to yell at the yamen servants who surrounded the refugees: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up?"

The yamen servants remained motionless and turned a deaf ear.

Seeing this, Lilian snickered twice, then withdrew her smile, and yelled at the group of people: "You can't drive away these refugees. Now that they are exhausted, don't find a place to rest and seek some doctors to treat them." Otherwise, they will die!"

"you--"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Lilian yelled, "Shut up!"

Her voice overwhelmed the man's voice, and blocked all the words behind him.

Immediately, Lilian took a deep breath: "Let your prefects answer by themselves, or can you represent the prefect of Jianning with plenipotentiary?"

Hearing this question, the arrogant official just now shut up, not daring to speak again, and at the same time carefully glanced at the prefect beside him.

The magistrate has not spoken since he came here, as if he was seized by the people around him, but Lilian knew very well that this was simply because the magistrate didn't want to follow the truth.

If you want to expel the refugees from Jianning, but you don't intend to speak up yourself, and you keep asking the officials next to you to speak for yourself, isn't this just like being a bitch and wanting to stand up?

"Master Zhifu, you should tell yourself!" Lilian said loudly, "How do you plan to deal with these refugees?"

Hundreds of pairs of eyes cast their sights on the prefect of Jianning at the same time. No matter what he was thinking in his heart at the moment, he had to make a gesture.

After pondering for a moment, the rich-looking middle-aged man cleared his throat, and said slowly: "The refugees must go, after all, I am the prefect of Jianning, for the sake of the people of Jianning, we cannot let the refugees stay here, but I can provide them with some food and clothing, how about this?"

It sounds okay, but in essence it is still shirking responsibility.

After discussing in a low voice with the players around her, Lilian figured out what the prefect was thinking.

As long as the refugees left Jianning Fucheng and didn't die around the Fucheng, then what happened would have nothing to do with the prefect. Even if the superiors asked him to blame him, he could still say that he had done his best and gave the refugees the greatest help.

—Old fox!
Lilian looked at the magistrate again, and shook her head: "I don't think this is possible, because the refugees may still carry the plague, if they are allowed to continue wandering, it will only cause people in other places to be infected by the plague.

"Master Zhifu, let's get straight to the point. What you are doing now is to shirk responsibility. There may be someone above you. As long as there is no problem in Jianning Prefecture, then even if there is a plague in other places, you can still save yourself. official position.

"But I tell you, it's impossible!"

Lilian suddenly raised her finger and pointed at the magistrate, "The most important thing you should do now is to organize the people and isolate the refugees together to prevent the possible plague from spreading further. Even if the refugees do not carry the plague, it is easy to manage them together. There will be no cases of refugees hitting cities or villages!

"—I advise you to listen to my advice and do what I say!"

Lilian's words sounded really arrogant. Not only did the group opposite her frown with disgust, but the players around her were also full of surprise.

"You little girl—!"

Just when someone yelled angrily, the magistrate suddenly lowered his head and touched the talisman hanging on his waist.

He missed the talisman in his hand, and the talisman floated up automatically and flew in front of him.

The magistrate's expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed to the talisman.

Seeing his movements, the others also realized what was going to happen, and saluted in a panic.

At this time, a player had a flash of inspiration and looked at Lilian, "Is it the Emperor of Dongtu?"

"Didn't you just say that a god catcher is here? He will definitely report this to the emperor." Lilian replied in a low voice, "I think the time should be almost here. Even if the emperor's order doesn't come at this time, it's a big deal to talk to them again." Be noisy for a while."

Fortunately, she bet right!
No matter whether the magistrate is sincerely loyal to the emperor or not, superficial work still needs to be done.

[The prefects of Huguang obey orders——]

"The minister is here!" The prefect of Jianning responded, pressing his waist even deeper.

[If there are refugees coming in the places under the jurisdiction of Er and others, they should not be expelled, but should be quarantined in a centralized manner to prevent the further spread of the plague. 】

[If anyone does not follow, the official will be demoted! 】

"Sir, obey!"

The prefect folded his palms and placed them under the talisman.

After issuing the emperor's order, the talisman lost its power and slowly fell into the hands of the magistrate.

Putting the talisman back on his belt, the magistrate with a cloudy expression raised his head and looked at Lilian.

He stared at Lilian closely. If his gaze had power, his gaze would be enough to pierce Lilian's face.

Taking a deep breath, the magistrate turned his head to look at the city guard beside him, and cupped his hands, "Master Ning, please send some soldiers over, as the yamen servants alone cannot gather the refugees together."

Cheng Shou cursed secretly in his heart, he didn't say a word before because he didn't want to be dragged into the water, but now he still has to be implicated.

With a soft snort, the city guard nodded, "Of course I will."

Immediately afterwards, the two of them turned their attention to Lilian.

Who is this little girl? Just as she made a 'suggestion', the emperor sent an order.

"What did I just say?" Lilian tilted her head and looked at them, and smiled softly, "Hurry up and prepare food and water, oh, yes, there is also a place for refugees to live. Regarding this, I suggest you not Settle the refugees close to the cities and villages, if possible, try to place them in the lower reaches of the river, so as not to affect your domestic water, but also allow them to use water.

"There are 380 refugees here, including the elderly and children. You need to prepare [-] tents and sheds."

Hearing this, the prefect and the city guard looked at each other.

"Do as she says." The magistrate ordered his subordinates.

"what?"

The officials behind the magistrate were all dumbfounded, that's not what he said just now!

Seeing their reactions, the magistrate also knew that his image had collapsed, so he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and yelled: "Why don't you go quickly?!"

The officials were taken aback, and several of them hurriedly turned around and ran towards Fucheng.

The prefect gritted his teeth and looked back at Lilian, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Of course Lilian was satisfied. She made such a gesture before to make the prefect and the city guard believe her words. If she hadn't done that, the prefect would definitely resettle the refugees hastily. Not only the tents and sheds, but even the food is probably not enough. Not much.

Lilian opened her mouth, and just as she was about to say something, there was a strong wind blowing beside her, and she took a closer look, only to find that it was a figure.

The refugees who rushed out from the crowd behind Lilian ran wildly towards the prefect.

"Come on! Come on!"

"Protect Lord Prefect!"

"Are they all dead? Come on!"

The officials screamed.

Lilian was also taken aback for a moment, feeling uneasy in her heart, and suddenly raised her gun and aimed at the man's back.

"Stop!" she yelled.

However, the refugee didn't stop, and rushed towards the magistrate screaming.

"Eternity is bone, immortality is blood, self-existing and eternal, praise the loving father!"

The officials screamed, and the magistrate retreated with an ugly face, but the officials behind him blocked his way, and no one ran to him to protect him.

——Now he is the one standing in the front, and has become the 'meat shield' of the group behind him!
"Trash! Trash!" the magistrate yelled angrily, "Get out of the way!!"

Hearing this eulogy, Lilian's heart twitched, recalling some bad memories, and instantly pulled the trigger.

--boom!

A bullet flew out of the muzzle under the impetus of fireworks and hit the refugee in the head.

The head exploded with a bang, and the body immediately fell to the ground, and rolled forward twice before stopping.

Immediately afterwards, the fallen corpse suddenly exploded, and the green mist gushed out, swallowing the magistrate, city guard and other officials into it.

"Ah ah ah..."

The screams lasted for a moment, then became smaller and smaller.

When a gust of wind blows, the poisonous mist is diluted and blown away.

After that, what appeared in front of Lilian and the others was a group of hideous corpses...
