Nangong Shaoyi was stunned in the darkness.

Coincidentally, two men passed by in the alley.

Nangong Shaoyi pulled his brother over, hid aside and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

"Someone stole my purse, and I chased after him. Brother, you are so nervous, is there something serious?" Nangong Qi was very interested.

coincidence?

Nangong Shaoyi didn't have time to think about it: "There's nothing for you to do here, go home."

There was something interesting at first glance. Could Nangong Qi leave? Of course he was not happy: "Brother, I can help you."

Nangong Shaoyi frowned: "Don't mess around. This is a serious matter, don't get involved."

Hearing this, Nangong Qi became even more excited: "What's the matter? How big is it? Tell me quickly."

The two men outside the alley seemed to hear the sound, stopped, and looked left and right very vigilantly.

Nangong Shaoyi immediately covered his brother's mouth: "Don't talk yet."

"I clearly heard someone talking."

"Are you too nervous? Who could be in this remote alley?"

Seeing no one in sight, they turned around and continued running.

After the people walked away, Nangong Qi grabbed his brother's hand and said, "They are running far away, hurry up and chase them."

No matter what, just catch up first. Before Nangong Shaoyi could stop him, his brother had already run a long way.

He had to keep up.

The two men came to a dilapidated, overgrown yard.

Before entering, they covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.

The weeds in the yard were very tall, blocking the view. The Nangong brothers used their Qinggong skills to climb onto the roof and look down from above.

A dry well was covered by lush weeds. Two men pushed aside the weeds and carefully went down to the bottom of the well.

When they came up again, they were carrying something that was wrapped tightly.

Judging from the shape and size, it looks like a human.

No, it should be a corpse.

No one noticed that there was a man standing in the darkness in the corner with his hands folded. It was the butler.

He was motionless and had no sense of existence.

Two men carried the body and ran out, heading towards the river.

The city has rivers that run in all directions, and they are the source of water for the people.

Nangong brothers immediately chased after them. As expected, the two men ran to the river and threw the body into it intentionally.

Nangong Qi was shocked and prepared to go up to stop it.

When Nangong Shaoyi heard the footsteps, he immediately pulled his brother to hide.

A group of people came running over and surrounded the two men, led by the third prince's personal guard.

"take away!"

The soldiers were ordered to take the two men away, and their bodies were also carried away.

Nangong Shaoyi frowned: "The third prince's personal guard?"

"The third prince? He did a good thing." Nangong Qi praised him generously.

Nangong Shaoyi followed him and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Go home and I'll take a look."

Not taking him along for the fun? Nangong Qi was not happy at all: "No, I want to go too."

Nangong Shaoyi had no choice but to take his brother with him. The two brothers walked away.

The butler appeared silently beside a big tree. From the Nangong family?

The two Nangong brothers followed all the way to a villa and carefully hid on the roof to investigate.

The guard stood in the courtyard and reported, "Your Highness, the person has been captured."

The door was locked, and Xie Chengming was drinking tea leisurely in the room: "Have you asked clearly?"

"They were very stubborn and refused to say anything."

Xie Chengming took a sip of tea, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Just be tough and help them."

"Yes." The guard drew his sword.

With a flick of his sword, he took the lives of two people.

The tightly wrapped body was placed on the ground. The guards knew what it was but did not dare to open it for inspection.

Xie Chengming played with the teacup: "If the Fourth Prince wants to do this, how can he not start from his own mansion? Throw it to the Fourth Prince's mansion."

"As you command." The guard raised his hand and ordered the body to be quietly thrown into the Fourth Prince's mansion.

When the plague breaks out, that's when they'll attack.

The two Nangong brothers followed, looking for an opportunity to knock the guards unconscious and steal the body.

"Brother, shouldn't we open it and take a look? I'm very curious." Nangong Qi felt like he was being scratched by a cat.

What kind of corpse is so popular that so many people are fighting over it? I can't sleep at night without taking a look.

Nangong Shaoyi was carrying the corpse, and suddenly stopped and looked forward. A middle-aged man blocked his way, and he seemed to be coming with bad intentions.

The housekeeper was calm and composed: "Little brother, sometimes don't be too curious. You can't handle this thing, leave it to me."

Nangong Qi was dissatisfied: "We stole it, why should we give it to you? If you have the ability, come and rob it."

To be honest, the butler was reluctant to use force. But some people just refused to accept a toast and drank a forfeit...

Nangong Shaoyi stopped his impulsive brother and said, "Excuse me, sir, who are you? What do you want the body for?"

They were totally unaware of the gentleman's approach.

It can be seen that he is not an ordinary person.

The housekeeper said politely, "Of course it will be destroyed. This corpse carries the plague and cannot be left in the city."

Carrying the plague?!

Nangong Shaoyi held his brother's hand and let it go: "Sorry, I can't give it to you."

The origin is unknown, so it cannot be trusted. No one stopped him, so Nangong Qi rushed forward and took action.

The butler dodged left and right, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Nangong Qi gradually calmed down and observed the enemy's movements.

His steps were graceful and his form was like a ghost. He was impossible to catch or follow.

Nangong Shaoyi was surprised. This move...

Nangong Qi observed carefully and thought he had found a flaw and attacked.

The butler's move to block it seemed slow, but it was actually very fast.

The attack was easily resolved, and Nangong Qi began to wonder, what was going on?

It feels like punching cotton, as if no matter how you attack, it won't work.

"Senior, please show mercy. Here." Nangong Shaoyi threw the corpse over.

The butler caught it with his foot, frowning in disgust.

A figure passed by and jumped down when he saw this.

Ji Shengxian squatted down and poked the body: "It's wrapped so tightly, it should be okay, right?"

Nangong Qi was unhappy: "Brother, we worked so hard to get it, why would we give it to him for free?"

The housekeeper sighed, "The body was transported from the border. I don't know how many people's hands it passed through along the way. Who can guarantee that there weren't one or two people who were impatient and opened it to have a look? Just burning it is not a good thing. We need to thoroughly investigate along the way. Nangong Qi, it's up to you."

"Me? What can I do?" Nangong Qi was a little embarrassed.

Ji Shengxian stood up and put one hand on his waist: "Report to the emperor. Ask the emperor to order each city to conduct a strict investigation to curb the spread of the plague."

Nangong Qi suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. Then you want to give me the body?"

The butler kicked hard with his foot.

Nangong Qi hurriedly caught the body: "I'm going. Wait for my good news."

He disappeared in an instant.

Nangong Shaoyi looked at the two of them: "Two seniors..."

Ji Shengxian interrupted rudely: "Pah, ah, ah, what senior? You are older than me, okay?"

"Not much bigger." The housekeeper decisively poured cold water on it.

"You. Forget it, now is not the time to talk nonsense. Look what I got? A prescription for the plague." Ji Shengxian took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

It depends on him.

The Fourth Prince’s Mansion can be easily captured.
