Lin He was so flustered that Li Changhui had to pay attention. However, they did not rush out of the city, but quickly changed to an inn closest to the city gate.

It wasn't until he was resettled that Lin He finally felt that his panic had subsided a lot.

"Mom, are you okay? Your face looks a little bad."

Lin He shook his head. In the new inn, Lin He sat by the window in the room and looked outside.

"I'm fine. You guys have a good rest. Maybe we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Li Changhui has already gone out.

Lin He didn't want him to go. It would be fine if everything was unfounded. If not, she was afraid that Li Changhui would really be infected with something.

However, Li Changhui insisted on going and said he would be careful, and Lin He couldn't stop him.

This time they did not choose a separate courtyard. Lin He still felt in her heart that if Li Changhui went to investigate the situation today and would go out early tomorrow morning, she would rather sleep on the carriage than stay in Guanzhou Mansion.

At the same time, she also felt depressed. What are all these things? She had just finished boasting that it was a peaceful and prosperous age, but now she was immediately slapped in the face. It was simply depressing.

Lin He did not doubt whether her intuition was wrong. She had even begun to think about the plague that corpses could bring.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out. After all, she didn't study pharmacology, and she had no research on these things at all.

Seeing that his mother was uneasy, Li Yu comforted her: "Mom, Guanzhou Prefecture is so big, there must be many famous doctors. Now that we know about this matter, we can take precautions in advance and nothing will happen."

Lin He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "You go back and keep an eye on Hao'er An'er. Don't run around today. Just stay in the room. I'll have the food delivered upstairs later. "

In this situation, it's not the time to play, so it's better to behave yourself.

Li Yu agreed and went back. Fortunately, after running around all afternoon, it was already evening and there was no need to go out to play. After eating, he could get ready for bed.

As for Lin He, who couldn't sleep, he could only sit in bed in a daze while waiting for Li Changhui to come back.

On the other side, Li Changhui also quickly found the warehouse of Yongfeng Trading Company. All the things delivered to the city this afternoon were delivered here.

He also saw Shopkeeper Liu's people nearby, observing the situation in the warehouse of Yongfeng Trading Company from a distance.

Before it got dark, Li Changhui went to buy some food nearby, and went to several pharmacies to prepare some herbal medicine.

In order to prevent others from being discovered, he deliberately bought several kinds of herbs from several pharmacies, and then found a place to grind them into powder and package them.

By the time he was ready, it was already dark. Li Changhui didn't waste any more time and soon arrived at the warehouse of Yongfeng Trading Company again.

It was almost curfew at this time, and there were no people on the street, which was convenient for Li Changhui.

I quietly walked into the courtyard of the warehouse. Several guards at the door were drinking and eating, and they didn't notice anyone coming in at all.

Li Changhui casually picked up two pebbles from the ground and popped them out with both hands. The pebbles fell on the backs of the necks of the two people at the door. They made two "bang bang" sounds and fell on the table one after another.

Li Changhui walked out of the darkness openly, took out the huozhe, blew it on, then took out the powder he had prepared before, twisted a small amount, and placed it on the huozhe.

The strong smell of medicine instantly filled the air, and Li Changhui felt relieved. He quickly searched in the yard, but without much effort, he found a black coffin in an empty room almost quickly.

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong rancid smell. Li Changhui, who was very familiar with this smell, changed his expression almost instantly.

It seemed that Lin He's intuition was right.This is not a normal situation for supporting a spirit to return home. A large amount of ice cubes and some antiseptic medicinal materials will be used to support the spirit when returning home. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it should be very cold and have a strong smell of herbs.

In the middle of the herbal smell, there is some rancid smell.

Li Changhui hesitated for a moment and did not go inside again. Instead, he closed the door and quickly climbed over the wall and hid in a secret corner.

At the same time, he smoked more medicinal powder with fire sticks, so that his whole body was covered with the smell of this medicinal powder.

The two people eating at the door soon woke up. Although they noticed something was wrong, they checked and found nothing, so they gave up and continued eating and drinking.

Li Changhui counted the time in his mind, and soon saw someone sneaking over after the curfew.

It's already high time.

Li Changhui looked at the moon in the sky. It was the last quarter of the moon today, and he could only see a crescent moon.

Suddenly he missed his wife and children. If it weren't for Yongfeng Trading Company, he would have been sleeping comfortably with his wife in his arms instead of leaning against the cold wall in a daze.

Those people quickly entered the warehouse of the trading company, and there was a chaotic sound inside. Not long after, the coffin that Li Changhui had seen before was pushed out.

Li Changhui thought that indeed, Lin He was right. These corpses had other uses.

Thinking like this, Li Changhui quickly left the place and appeared behind the two people who were looking around after a moment.

"Are you from Shopkeeper Liu?"

Li Changhui suddenly made a sound, startling the two people in front of him. Fortunately, he still remembered what he was doing. Even though he was frightened, he did not forget to cover his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.

"You, you, you, you are a human or a ghost!"

The two people opposite were so scared that they almost peed their pants. As soon as they saw someone pushing the coffin and going out, they turned around and saw a man with a ferocious expression appearing behind them. They were still standing, which showed that they were brave.

Li Changhui frowned: "I am a friend of Shopkeeper Liu, and I am here for this matter."

Li Changhui pointed to the front, and the two of them finally reacted. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief and patted their chests, looking frightened: "We were scared to death. We thought it was something like that."

Li Changhui asked again: "Where is the water source that is relatively close to here and can connect to the whole city?"

Plague was no stranger to Li Changhui. During the war at the border, many people died every day. If the corpses were not properly handled, plague could easily break out, especially in summer.

The damage that these abnormal corpses could bring was what Li Changhui immediately thought of.

But if the corpse appears in front of people, it will be discovered and burned quickly. If these people really want to do something, starting from the water source is the fastest.

Therefore, Li Changhui asked this question.

Although he knew something about Guanzhou Prefecture, his knowledge was not that detailed after all.

Fortunately, he didn't know it, but shopkeeper Liu's two clerks did.

"About two blocks from here, there is the entrance to an underground river. That underground river connects almost all the wells in Guanzhou Prefecture."

One of the guys pointed in a certain direction, then frowned: "No, are they going there too?"
