Cang Wenyu was overjoyed, he found Li Chong three times and they said they would have a banquet for them.

But all of these were rejected by Li Xibao on the grounds that Li Chong needed to study.

When Cang Wenyu saw Li Chong's concentration on reading, he admired Li Chong even more, so he simply prepared good dishes and asked someone to bring them directly.

Li Xibao had to admit that he and Li Chong had a pretty good time in Cang Mansion.

After Li Xibao once again ate a table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, he became bored, "Brother Chong, I think it's time for us to go home."

"I think so too." Li Chong flipped through the book and said, "Otherwise I'll mention it to Master Cang in a while."

"Miss Li, Young Master Li."

At this time, Cang Wenyu's voice just came in.

Li Xibao smiled: "It's true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here, Mr. Cang, we are also going to look for you."

"You're all here for this, too." Cang Wenyu looked anxious again, and showed them a pile of submitted lists, "It's really evil, and it has started to grow a lot again."

"Growth?"

"Yes, according to the news from the past few days, there is basically no increase, and there is a tendency to decrease. Who knows..."

Cang Wenyu was burning with anxiety, "I really can't think of a solution, so I ask you two to think again. If things go on like this, the imperial court will send imperial envoys sooner or later."

The matter was so serious that Li Xibao had to hold back the idea of ​​going home for the time being, but this was not something he was good at.

She looked at Li Chong, "Brother Chong, what do you think?"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. For such a change to happen, there must be something wrong with one of the links." Li Chong thought for a moment.

I took a look at the list in my hand, "Master Inspector, why are these lists not recording the patient's residence?"

"There are also records, but not this one."

"Master Inspector, then you must find the one that records the address. Only then will we know where so many new additions have been made, and the scope of investigation will be greatly reduced."

Cang Wenyu was reminded this time, and he was enlightened, "Young Master Li, wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go."

When Cang Wenyu came back, he was holding a thick record book in his hand.After Li Chong opened it and looked through it carefully, "North of the city, the number in the north of the city is the largest."

"The north of the city is the most desolate place. It was the execution ground 20 years ago, and the common people were taboo to live there. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people. The people who live there now are probably the poor in Wanzhou."

Li Chong nodded after listening, "Okay, then I understand. Lord Inspector give me a day or two, I'll go out and investigate."

"Ok!"

"Brother Chong, are you going out?"

"I can't go out, I have to see what's going on with my own eyes."

"Then you must pay attention to protection." Li Xibao folded two black face scarves and fastened them all for Li Chong, and then let Li Chong go out.

"What else does Young Master Li need, just ask me."

"A few more helpers are needed."

"No problem." Cang Wenyu agreed wholeheartedly.

Li Chong investigated this matter for two days and one night.

On the second night, he put on a night walker and stood on a roof in the west of the city.

With the plague spreading, the entire Wanzhou City was completely silent at night, even with few lights.In places like the west of the city, there is not even a single light.

But today is a full moon, and the activities in the city can be seen by moonlight and starlight alone.

Li Chong stood on the eaves for a long time, listening quietly until there was a sound.

He jumped off the roof and hid in a corner.

"Hurry up, hurry up, this is it."

After a while, four or five men in black came out from the corner carrying several large wooden barrels.

The leader raised his hand, and a whistle sounded.

In an instant, noises were heard from all corners, and hundreds of people rushed out, heading straight for the barrels.

The wooden barrel was opened, and there was food in it. These people were dressed in rags, and their hair was so dirty that they were knotted together. They swallowed big mouthfuls.

And the four or five men in black looked at them with smiles on their faces. The moonlight slanted down, but their eyes reflected infinite indifference.

Sudden.

There was another crisp whistle, but it came from nowhere.

All the people present were stunned.

"Who?" The leader looked around and shouted guiltily, "Who is blowing the whistle?"

"it's me."

Li Chong stepped out of the corner step by step, and the moonlight stretched his shadow long and thin.

"Who are you?" Those people asked Li Chong.

Seeing that Li Chong was only young, he immediately ignored him.

Li Chong murmured, "The people who arrested you."

"Hahaha, catch us? You little brat, let's watch it again..." The leader didn't even finish speaking, when there was a sudden noise.

More guards with knives rushed out from all directions in the alley, surrounding all of these people.

"Who are you?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me who I am!"

Cang Wenyu, dressed in official uniform, walked out angrily on the road that the guards let out.

"Lord Inspector!"

Those people quickly knelt down.

"See Lord Inspector. I don't know why Lord Inspector came late at night?"

"Knowingly asking!"

"I ask you, what's in these barrels?"

"These are all food." Several people kneeling on the ground argued one after another, "Now that infectious diseases are rampant, and there is flooding in the south, these beggars can't eat or drink. We are here to do good deeds and give them food."

"Then why don't you send it during the day?" Li Chong asked calmly.

"During the day, we're too busy during the day."

"I see." Li Chong walked over slowly, "Since that's the case, I think the food here is pretty good. You guys can eat a bowl each."

"We..." Those people hid one after another.

Cang Wenyu simply ordered, "Come here, feed them!"

The servants filled their meals and stuffed them into their mouths.

"No, ooh..."

"No."

They stuffed it in and spit it out quickly.

"Since it's a good deed, why don't you eat these foods?" Li Chong asked lightly.

"Say!" Cang Wenyu's voice was harsh.

"My lord, my lord, this is absolutely inedible."

"These foods are the leftovers of those who are sick. We eat these and are easily infected." A person couldn't hold back and confided.

As soon as the words came out.

The beggars were stunned.

"what happened?"

"Give us the leftovers from the sick."

"Okay, you hateful fellows!"

The beggars don't understand the law, but they know that they have been tricked, so they gather around and beat these people.
