Mu Yunyao's heart filled with joy, but she soon became anxious.

"This piece of material evidence is indeed very important, but the craftsmen who made the tax in Yi River City are probably dead. In addition to that, the salt merchants that were attached to Prince Jin were also killed.

"The crime of King Zhen Jin.

" Thinking about it, those salt merchants were truly pitiful. After being taken advantage of by the Jin Emperor to fake the salt tax, they thought that An Ran would be safe. However, they didn't expect the Jin Emperor to spare their lives. That person was narrow-minded. Previously, he had been plotted against by the salt merchant. Now that he had the opportunity to take revenge, naturally, he would not miss it …

"Yes, my Third Brother has always been very cautious when he speaks. He can be said to be watertight, and with just a salt merchant and a silver mold, it would be very difficult to accuse a prince. However, I heard that you have secretly set up a plan to deal with this situation, right?

"

Mu Yunyao blinked, purposely trying to be suspenseful.

"I did make some arrangements, but I'll have to arrange for someone to do those things when we return to the capital safely.

"

Yue Yang nodded his head:

"En, Yao'er, don't worry. We will definitely return safely.

" After Mu Yunyao wrote the letter and sent it to King Yu, the matter of the plague in Yi River City suddenly broke out. As of now, there had not been a single formula that was particularly effective against the plague. Therefore, every time there was a catastrophe, people in the imperial court would talk about the plague and change their expressions.

An example of life. King Yu's personal servant was extremely anxious,

"Your Highness, shouldn't we report this to the emperor immediately?

" Once the epidemic situation broke out, it could be said that the flood in Yi River City was severe, and not many people would survive. However, they would still be alive, not to mention the fact that the Duke of Yue and Princess Wen Xian were here …

Yi River City.

King Yu, on the other hand, looked calm and composed,

"There is no need to be anxious. Even if this king does not report to my royal father, there will still be people who will be unable to hold themselves back and bring this matter up.

"

Just as King Yu had expected, a few days later, Baijia galloped into the capital with the report of an outbreak in Yi River City.

At this moment, the capital was in a state of panic, and the imperial court was in a state of chaos. Officials began to speak up.

"Your majesty, we should learn the lesson of Yu City. We should immediately order the closure of Yi River City and eradicate this epidemic.

" Yu City was located in the northwest, and its surroundings were sparsely populated. After closing the city gates, they could strictly control the flow of personnel. However, Yi River City was different. Yi River City is located in the south of Jiangxi and is one of the richest places in the Dali Dynasty. Furthermore, there is plenty of water there.

Closing the city gates will not stop the spread of the plague, unless you have the ability to directly cut off the flow of the river, otherwise closing the city would be a piece of cake.

"

Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that although we are unable to control the waterway, we should prevent the victims of the calamity from leaving Yi River City. After all, there is no way to control the movements of the victims.

Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that today's plan should focus on eliminating the plague by cremation of the infected patients and livestock. This move will thoroughly eliminate the plague, and as long as the plague is gone, the water route should not be too severe, even if it is not controlled.

"Your Majesty …

" On the throne, the emperor's eyes were focused on the paper in his hand. He waited until the officials realized that something was wrong and the commotion had died down before he raised his head and looked at the official who had said that he would cremate the disease,

"Martial weapon, I remember that your son was beaten by Wu Chuan Yuan last year. He is a rare person.

"I am.

"

The official whose name was called quickly stood up and knelt on the ground. He couldn't figure out the emperor's purpose in his heart,

"Reporting to the emperor, last year's martial arts scholar was indeed my son.

"

"Mm. Since he's a genius, he should be loyal to the country. I feel that it's more appropriate to send him to Yi River City to burn the patients and livestock. What do you think?

"

The official was drenched in cold sweat as he spoke. He kowtowed towards the emperor and pleaded,

"Your majesty, this humble subject only has one son. Please be magnanimous, your majesty.

"

"Hmm? If I order him to be my messenger, wouldn't it be a great honor for him to be entrusted with such an important task? As a court official, don't you wish to see your son serve me?

"

"This humble subject doesn't dare. This humble subject and his son are both willing to sacrifice their lives for the emperor. However, such a serious outbreak has occurred in Yi River City. I'm afraid it will be difficult to return this time.

"

"If you don't want your son to die, you'll have to push him to his death?

" The emperor's eyes were cold and emotionless as he looked down on the kneeling official with a cold killing intent.

The official trembled even more violently.

"Your majesty, even if this humble subject had ten thousand guts, I still wouldn't dare to harm Your Highness.

"

Silence reigned in the hall as the officials kept quiet in fear.

Prince Jin's eyes trembled, and he subconsciously retracted his finger. His guess was right, the Imperial Father did not express that much hatred towards Yue Huang and Emperor Yuan, and even cared a lot about him. Otherwise, he would not be so angry at a single word from an official.

The emperor paid no more attention to these officials. Instead, he turned to Xu Li and said,

"Inform the decree to all imperial physicians of the Grand Hospital to enter the palace immediately. In addition, prepare carriages, horses, boats, and when the imperial physicians leave the palace, send them immediately to Jiangnan's Yi River City.

" Some officials couldn't help but retort,

"Your majesty, the disease is extremely difficult to control. The capital city is a long way from Yi River City, and by the time the imperial physicians arrive, the disease will probably lose control. At that time, it will no longer be a matter of sacrificing the citizens of Yi River City. May the Emperor be kind to the people of the world

"Think and act.

"

"I have made up my mind. You all need not say anything.

"

The imperial physician was heralded into the palace, and the officials were chased out of the palace. They didn't want to leave, so they just knelt down in the empty space outside the main hall.

After the emperor heard this, he ignored it and gave the prescription in his hand to the hospital's head, Han Ping,

"Come and take a look. This prescription has an effect on epidemics.

"

The hospital hurriedly took the prescription from Xu Li's hands. After examining it carefully, they passed it on to the imperial physicians behind them. After the imperial physicians finished reading, they began to discuss in hushed tones.

The emperor did not speak up to interrupt as he patiently waited for the result. Gradually, the voices of the imperial physicians grew louder and louder. Some of them were deep in thought, some were angry, some were excited. In the end, Han Ping replied,

"Reporting to your majesty, although this prescription hasn't been verified, but based on our hospital's collective argument, there should be an epidemic disease.

"

As for the exact effects, we are still unable to find out.

" Since it's effective, I shall now issue a decree to collect all the medicinal ingredients written on the prescription. You guys should immediately head to Jiangnan Yishui City, I will treat the victims of the disease in Yishui City, and even if there is a sliver of hope, I will not give up. From

"When you leave the palace, I will send guards to protect your families. You can go with your hearts at ease.

" Many people paled at these words, but they couldn't disobey His Majesty's orders. The emperor had even specially pointed out their families. No matter whether it was protection or threat, there was no room for them to resist.
