Chapter 280 Clues in the East City
When Yongning Hou saw his look, he just found it a little funny. He shook his head and walked in front of Zhang Wenlai. The two of them walked towards Li Laile's room.
When he left, he couldn't help thinking that he would ask someone to find another room for Li Laile later. After all, the side room was tidy but still a little shabby.
Not far away was the house where Li Laile lived. Zhang Wenlai took a deep breath and quickened his pace, almost leaving Yongning Hou behind. Fortunately, he was restrained by Yongning Hou's teasing voice.
Zhang Wenlai couldn't help but thinking, now that the miracle doctor was in their city lord's mansion, then his Nanyu City would definitely be saved. How could he not be so excited that he could hardly control himself? As he approached the house, Zhang Wenlai restrained his emotions and looked at the furnishings around here, which were simple but also casual. He would ask someone to find a new room for the miracle doctor later.
Li Laile knew that someone would come to see him this morning, but he didn't know that Yongning Hou would bring people to see him, especially the person behind him. His eyes were shining and he treated him as a hot commodity, which made Li Laile feel uneasy.
But he didn't say it. After all, judging from the way he was dressed, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Li Laile saw the two people standing in front of him, he smiled slightly, and then turned his eyes to Zhang Wenlai. He had never seen the city lord, so naturally he was not sure who the man in front of him was. He didn't even know that one of the two people standing in front of him was a noble marquis who had looked at him several times with a gentle attitude.
Even so, Li Laile could still guess that the identities of the two people in front of him were extraordinary. Seeing Yongning Hou bringing people with him this time, he thought that since they wanted to cooperate, he still needed to briefly explain their identities.
So he looked at the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing?"
Seeing this, Marquis Yongning knew that he was curious about who he had brought with him, so he had no intention of hiding it and told them their identities openly.
Li Laile knew the identities of the two men and raised his eyebrows with a bit of surprise. He was not surprised that Zhang Wenlai was the city lord, but was surprised that a marquis actually came to this remote place to deal with the plague.
But if you think about it carefully, this is most likely the will of the current emperor.
Li Laile smiled and was about to bow to the two of them again, but was stopped in time by Yongning Hou.
He looked at Marquis Yongning and couldn't help but feel satisfied with the marquis's style of doing things.
Then he looked at Zhang Wenlai. When Zhang Wenlai saw Li Laile looking at him, his expression changed visibly. The excitement that was originally in his eyes now directly turned to his face.
Such enthusiasm made Li Laile feel a little embarrassed.
Marquis Yongning wanted to rescue Li Laile, so he asked about his external injuries.
Li Laile rolled his eyes and replied, "It's OK. The medicine I prepared myself is still relatively useful."
Seeing this and hearing this, Yongning Hou glanced at Zhang Wenlai, who suddenly became honest after listening to what he asked Li Laile, and smiled, saying:
"In that case, by the way, the herbs that Brother Li mentioned last night can be given to you today. Just give orders to the staff below. The doctors will listen to you. However, after taking the antidote, how long will it take for the poison to be completely eradicated?"
"If you also take into account the sword wound on my body, then it will take at least three days."
Li Laile said confidently.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble Doctor Li to go to the north of the city with the outsiders in three days."
Zhang Wenlai agreed with a smile.
Li Laile nodded in response.
After the three of them exchanged a few brief words, someone outside told them that the things were ready.
Yongning Hou looked at Li Laile apologetically and said nothing more. The three of them said goodbye.
Yongning Hou continued to look towards the north of the city, while Zhang Wenlai continued to look towards the west.
As for Cao Anshan’s words.
At this moment, he was in a cave. Standing beside him were the people sent to him by the emperor and the guards he brought from his home.
After a simple cleanup, Cao Anshan led his men back to the place where they made new discoveries yesterday.
The group of people came out of the cave, covering themselves tightly with all the coverings on their bodies and faces, for fear that they would be infected by the disease here if they were not careful.
Returning to the streets and alleys in the east of the city, a glance revealed that almost all the people in the east of the city were dead, and the ground was littered with corpses. Some were not dead, but had almost gone crazy, or were lying on the ground with consciousness but unable to move, and could only lie there waiting to die.
The surroundings were in chaos, as if a strong wind had passed through, leaving the once peaceful and tranquil streets and alleys barren.
Even though Cao Anshan had stayed in such a scene for a whole day, and it was now the second day, he still felt suffocated in his heart. There were living people here, but he had no ability to save them. Watching people die was the most painful thing.
Even though Cao Anshan had been on a battlefield filled with corpses, that was a battlefield, and here were the people of their Great Qi.
He glanced away, forced himself to retract these helpless thoughts, and led his men directly in one direction.
This was the place they found yesterday. There were a lot of suspicious things there, but it was already very late, so they didn't continue looking. If they couldn't stay here for long, he would have rested here last night.
At first, there was nothing worthy of attention here, it was just a simple little teahouse. However, when they passed by here, there were suddenly several sounds of porcelain falling on the ground, and these sounds were so obvious that Cao Anshan intuitively felt that there was something here, so he took everyone in.
Since they were sleeping during the day, no one was afraid. However, in broad daylight, in a simple teahouse, unless there was someone here, it would explain the sound of porcelain falling to the ground. If there was no one, then the meaning of this would be quite profound.
Fortunately, this small teahouse was not big. After splitting into two groups, Cao Anshan searched outside the teahouse, while the other people were checking the rest box inside.
After Cao Anshan finished searching outside with others, he wanted to help look for clues in the box.
In the end, another team found the clue first, which was the place where the porcelain was broken.
A group of people heard the noise and rushed over immediately.
Cao Anshan looked at the porcelain pieces on the ground, bent down and looked at them carefully, but when he didn't see any clues, he stood up and looked around.
