The lights in the huge city lit up like stars. Maybe it was a hundred days of good weather. It was approaching evening and Bianliang was still lively. The streets towards Donghuamen were relatively deserted, but it was still possible. When you see well-dressed scribes or rich people in luxurious clothes passing by, you can always see a few male servants and maids accompanying them. Occasionally, one or two carriages pass by. They don't look very grand, but the thick curtains are It means that the people inside probably have some identities.

In Bianliang at night, the only places for people who go out to have fun at this time are brothels, which are open day and night. Of course, no one just goes to drink and vent, it is elegant and vulgar, making friends with literature, and most of the prostitutes are like this.

The hustle and bustle of the market and the sound of brothels playing piano and singing floated in the streets. The entire Bianliang was in a relatively harmonious and balanced night.

The shops on both sides of the street hung up lanterns. In the light, a figure made an exaggerated gesture. Occasionally, there were female relatives around who saw each other and quickly ran away. The man stretched out his hands like claws, stretched and retracted, making waves and making obscene sounds. The ultimate shouting rushed over.

"...This good girl...I see you are so beautiful. Let me take a closer look. Hahahahaha, come on, come on, put your hands down, don't run! Someone catch her." , she’s so handsome and she still runs out, it’s like a gift from heaven! Hahaha!”

Gao Muen's voice has reached a certain level of despicability. The woman who was stopped was naturally frightened and screamed. The male companion who was traveling with her wanted to step forward, but when she saw several thugs approaching, she couldn't help but take a step back.

"That word reads "death!" Behind Gao Mu'en, among the crowd of companions, the leading eunuch waved his hand, "Don't cause trouble, the matter is done, it's time to go back and resume your life."

The hand holding the woman's arms loosened, and Gao Mu'en turned around in frustration, "Boring...Boring, we are in the Dongchang, so many high officials have been screwed, how can a common man give up? It's disappointing!"

"I won't come out with you anymore." He said this, crossing his arms and looking angrily at the man and woman who fled in a panic.

Liu Jin snorted coldly, looked at him, and walked in the direction of Dongchang. On the way, he was quite polite to the little follower beside the admiral, "No matter who you go out with, this is the result."

"Why?" The unhappy Gao Muen was angry for a while and couldn't help but ask.

The hundreds of Dongchang households who were walking in front finally looked back at him, "...Eunuch Gao must have never planted crops. These common people are just like the crops in the fields. When they grow, we take good care of them." , when it’s grown and ready to eat, it’s time for us farmers to harvest.”

"don't know."

"...Our family didn't understand it at first, but now we understand it. Even Yu Qianhu, Cao Qianhu, Cao Gonggong, and even Hai Qianhu, who can't go out or take a second step, all understand this. The truth is, if we harm all the people and make it difficult for them to make a living, what do you think is the power and position we have earned so hard for? Without the people, where can we dominate and bring blessings? So how can we harm ourselves? ,do you think so?"

He raised his head and looked at the black sky, thinking as he walked, and he was a little hesitant in what he said.

***************************************

The night wind rustled through the city of Bianliang.

In the East Police Factory, Bai Ning is sitting in the small building where he handles business. The desk is filled with information. The light of the candlelight is competing with the night outside. The boss's boss is coming in and out, as if Can make waves.

Not long after, Hai Dafu came over with a small bag. He wiped his face and looked a little tired.There was worry in Hai Dafu's eyes, and he carefully advised: "Lord Governor, you can go back and rest, as long as the slaves are here."

"...There is news from the palace. Let me tell you, the Empress Dowager is dead." Bai Ning leaned back, took a sip of tea from the table, held it in his hand, and tilted his head to look Looking at each other.

Over there, Hai Dafu's figure nodded and answered, "Yes, Yu Qianhu has already received news. He sent Shang Yu on his way an hour ago."

Bai Ning closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said in a very low voice: "...Not many people knew about that incident back then, and I was helpless at the time. After all, the emperor did not face the situation directly. The strength to compete with Zhao Wu can only divert his attention to Liang Chen. Our family has never regretted this matter, but it cannot be announced. Not only Liang Yuanchui cannot know, but if Guan Sheng is allowed to do so, They all know that the power we have cultivated outside is basically falling apart. If one mistake is made, everything will be lost. The governor must not be merciful just because of nostalgia."

The wind came in, the candles swayed, and the silhouettes of light and darkness flickered on the wall. He still told the reason why he killed Shang Yu to this subordinate who had been with him for many years, and the other party also knew the reason.

Hai Dafu actually agreed with what happened, but he frowned slightly, "Lord Governor, it's just like this. Those people below must have some ideas in their hearts. If this continues, it will be detrimental to Dongchang and the Governor." .”

"Then find something for them to do." Bai Ning stood up and opened the window behind him, standing there proudly, looking at the night outside, "There are so many corpses waiting to be collected outside, and the refugees need to be resettled. We will talk about it in court tomorrow. Well, the top priority is to do something with those corpses first."

"Corpse..." He muttered, looking at the dark sky.

Then he turned around with a smile on his face, "Our family will come down to find all the corpses in sparsely populated and remote mountains, hoard them all, and catch some mice to feed them."

"What..." Hai Dafu raised his lowered head sharply and hesitated for a moment, "Lord Governor... there will be a plague... this is no joke."

Bai Ning didn't reply to his words. Instead, he sat down at the table, took the pen and ink and began to write a lot of words on a piece of white paper, while also giving instructions.

"Notice... All places in Gyeonggi Province are looking for crazy dogs for the governor and keeping them in captivity. But remember not to be bitten by them. Collect the saliva of these crazy dogs every day."

"Also, all the death row prisoners in Bianliang Prison were thrown to the place where the corpses are stored, and they were allowed to eat and live with the corpses. If any of them showed symptoms of the plague, they were immediately isolated."

Even though Hai Dafu was skilled in martial arts, his whole body trembled when he heard these instructions. After all, at his age, he also knew how terrible a plague outbreak was, even more terrifying than a military disaster.

The other party's abnormality made Bai Ning stop writing. He turned his eyes to Hai Dafu and tapped his hands on the table rhythmically, making bursts of thumping sounds.

"Old rich... I know that you are worried, but you also know better about the attitude of that country in the north towards the Wu Dynasty. They fought against the Wu Dynasty this year, but they retreated because their emperor was seriously ill. What if next year? ? What about the year after next? Do you think that in just two or three years, we can mend the broken courage of the entire court?"

The fat figure remained silent in the candlelight, then shook his head.

"I know this is playing with fire..." Bai Ning crumpled up the paper he originally wrote on and slapped it on the table, "But it can always be delayed for a few years until they can When facing the Jurchen's iron hoof, that's when you really stand up. But don't worry, for prevention, the governor will make a plan. When the time comes, you can take it down and let the people below read it carefully, and make sure they keep it in mind. , something can’t go wrong.”

Soon, he picked up the paper ball on the table, turned around and walked out. In fact, he just said something about prevention.

Bai Ning didn't have much confidence in his heart.
