Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Although he was a little surprised, he still led Shen Xi and took Shen Xi to the prison.

The prison was dark and damp, and Lin Shu subconsciously shrank into Shen Xi's arms.

Although the environment made her a little scared, she still looked around curiously, and when she saw something she was afraid of, she hid in Shen Xi's arms.

Soon they arrived outside Xu Zuyao's cell.

As soon as Xu Zuyao saw Shen Xi, he started cursing.

"You little white face, let me out. If the news of my arrest gets out, you will be in trouble."

"Those bandits will definitely come back."

"Even if you are not afraid of death, don't take the people of Songfeng Town with you!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the guy was locked up in a cell, Lin Shu straightened his back and snorted at Xu Zuyao.

[Who are you calling a gigolo? ]

[Can you tell us about our Lord Shen Xi? ]

[Even if I have to say it, only I can say it. 】

Lin Shu paused and scratched his head.

[It seems that Murong Xun is also okay, but Murong Xun seems to be even more of a gigolo than Shen Xi. ]

Lin Shu was confused for a moment.

Xu Zuyao grinned wickedly when he saw Lin Shu's arrogant look.

"You are such a delicate little kid, and you come to a place like this. Aren't you afraid that mice will remember you and gnaw on your little nose at night?"

Lin Shu made a face at Xu Zuyao.

[You are not afraid of sleeping in prison, and I am not sleeping here, so what should I be afraid of? ]

Just as Lin Shu thought of this, he saw Xu Zuyao casually picked up a mouse and looked at Lin Shu provocatively.

Lin Shu's expression suddenly cracked. He curled up in Shen Xi's arms and screamed.

[This is insane. This mouse is full of viruses. How can anyone pick it up with their bare hands?]

Seeing Lin Shu screaming, Xu Zuyao smiled maliciously and threw the mouse to the ground.

Shen Xi secretly took note of Lin Shu's words.

I wonder if these rats might be the source of the plague.

He decided to organize people to kill the rats as soon as he went out.

Only after Lin Shu finished screaming did she remember her original doubts.

[This stinky guy is so annoying, he definitely doesn't want to be threatened. I don't believe he won't find a chance to come to Beijing.]

[If we hadn't come, he would have definitely taken some action. ]

Shen Xi held Lin Shu in his arms and gently patted Lin Shu's back.

The look he gave Xu Zuyao was full of disgust.

I felt that something that could scare even children must not be a good thing, but then I thought of Lin Shu’s question.

Still, he asked reluctantly.

"I already know about you. You are not willing to be controlled by others. If we hadn't caught you, what else would you do?"

"You should already know our identities. If you tell us, we will definitely find a way to help you."

Xu Zuyao sneered: "Help me? Just a pretty boy like you and this little brat?"

"You can't even protect yourselves. There's no way you can get out."

"You're still talking about helping me! That's ridiculous."

Shen Xi's heart sank. As expected, he had guessed it right.

But in order to clarify the specific situation, I continued.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean we can't do it. Didn't you lose to us today?"

Xu Zuyao looked at Shen Xi with disdain and moved closer to the railing.

"Little white face, don't think you can solve this matter by defeating me."

"They have more than one expert. It will take at least five of them to defeat that person."

"You asked them to deliver the letter. Have you ever thought about the people who stayed in Songfeng Town?"

When he said this, Xu Zuyao laughed arrogantly.

"I almost forgot that you and the baby in your arms are still in this town."

"As long as they can't stop your men, they will definitely come and kill the people in the town."

"This way, there will be no evidence. The prefect only needs to report to the higher authorities, and a fire will burn everything down."

"Even if he dies, there are so many people who will be buried with him."

Shen Xi's face darkened.

He didn't expect this to happen.

He asked in a low voice: "Then what can you do?"

Xu Zuyao took a few steps back and lay directly on the straw.

Laughing wantonly.

There was endless anger and helplessness in his tone.

"What can I, a robber, do?"

"That bandit has been displeased with me for a long time, and he has probably asked the prefect for help."

"If I can't bear it, the people will have no way to survive."

"My only solution is to fake my death in battle and escape to seek help."

"Of course, if I'm discovered."

He snorted very lightly, "It's just that everyone will die together."

"As for how to die, it's up to the higher-ups to decide."

Lin Shu's heart began to pound.

She suddenly felt that she had guessed the truth.

[Dayan's martial arts masters suffered a severe blow many years ago, and there are simply not that many powerful people. ]

[If there is, it must be famous. ]

[Wherever they appear, there will inevitably be challengers and people seeking to become their disciples.]

[My father would never ignore what’s happening here.]

[Unless the masters here are not from Dayan at all. ]

[I'm afraid this plague is also related to them, because my father will be gone by then.]

[With a tyrant in power, I'm afraid that this place will be oppressed even more miserably, and maybe even no profit can be made. ]

[Xu Zuyao wanted to go to Beijing to seek help in order to survive, but he was eventually captured.]

[His actions angered the prefect. The traitor wanted to kill people to silence them, so he caused the plague.]

Lin Shu paused when she thought of this. She continued to guess while trying hard to recall the plot in the book.

【What else happened? 】

Lin Shu had a terrible headache and knocked his head with his hand.

Shen Xi felt distressed and quickly held Lin Shu's hand to stop her.

Lin Shu finally found a detail in the original book.

[When the hero and heroine first met, it was on a snowy night. The hero was seriously ill and dying, and there were stinking corpses all around him.]

[It was the heroine who appeared and saved the hero, and became the light in the hero's heart. 】

[The male protagonist kept saying that he wanted to find the person who poisoned the character, but he never found him until the end.]

[Even in the end, he himself doubted whether it was just an ordinary epidemic that almost killed him on that snowy night.]

Is it possible that this is some kind of research virus?

[Are you using the people of Dayan as an experiment? ]

[Because of limited medical conditions, the male protagonist cannot be sure. 】

Lin Shu's mind was in a mess and she didn't understand.

I can only think randomly.

Shen Xi, however, felt cold all over after hearing this.

He had seen a similar description in an ancient book.

There have been three major plagues in history, but the cause could not be found.

Although the location of the disease is different each time, the symptoms are very similar.

And each time is more severe than the last.

Countless doctors died here.

The same was true for their Qihuang School, but one person managed to escape disaster by chance.

His father died at home, so he left there early.

He just left one day earlier, and the symptoms were discovered the next day.

He got the news five days later.

He thought he would be infected as well, so he turned back halfway.

Even if he died, he had to die near the source of the disease. He didn't want to harm innocent people.
