Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 171 Sudden Accident
"... Even so, you can't be exhausted! The Yellow River breach has not been blocked. If you get tired again, Zhengyang City will really be doomed!" Chang Feng held the porcelain Wan, knowing that he could not speak against Li Canghai, decided to change his strategy and use the incident of the Yellow River's embankment to persuade him.

"What's more, such a small amount of broth is not enough for everyone to share." Chang Feng suddenly knelt on the ground and said seriously: "My lord, if you don't eat it, I won't be able to get up on my knees here."

Li Canghai stared at him, and said calmly: "Chang Feng, I appreciate your persistence, but you used it in the wrong place."

"The little one is very sure, I didn't use it in the wrong place." Chang Feng held the porcelain bowl and said seriously: "My lord, this is what Miss Di ordered. You can't let you starve, and invite you to eat."

Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, he was stunned for a moment, "When did you see Qing'er?"

"Going back to my lord, it was on the night of the Songhe Tower. Miss Di had already guessed that the lord would come to Damiao Village, so she gave this order to the villain."

Li Canghai scratched his head, he laughed lightly, and said with emotion in his heart: This girl has learned to foretell.

"Don't pay attention to her, she just said casually, as a county magistrate, why should you listen to her?" Li Canghai said with warmth in his heart, but he said so in his mouth.

"My lord, even if there is no order from Miss Di, this is what a villain should do. My lord, please have a meal!" Chang Feng raised the porcelain bowl above his head and said solemnly.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Li Canghai had no choice but to go on like this, it was just a waste of time.

He hesitated for a moment, pulled a bird's leg from the porcelain bowl, shook it in front of him and said, "I'll eat a bird's leg, so it should be okay, right?"

Chang Feng got up happily, he happily put the porcelain bowl aside, and stared at him intently.

Li Canghai took a bite of the bird's leg and felt uncomfortable seeing him staring at him.

"Chang Feng, why are you staring at me?"

"Miss Di gave orders, saying that you have a tendency to abuse yourself, and you will definitely give the food to others, so let me watch you finish eating."

"...Did Miss Di say that I don't like being stared at when I eat, otherwise it will affect my appetite?"

"That's not true, but if your lord sees that I feel that it affects your appetite, then your lord will treat me as if I don't exist."

"..."

Li Canghai rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking, Qing'er, Qing'er, why do you know me better and better now, it seems that you have really matured!
"Chang Feng, do you feel that the weather is a bit too quiet?" Li Canghai said as he looked into the distance while gnawing on a bird's leg.

Chang Feng also squinted his eyes, looked at the tumbling tide in the distance, and said, "It is indeed too quiet, there is not even a sound of wind."

"I have an ominous premonition that this will be the calm before the storm." Li Canghai said solemnly.

Chang Feng looked at the night sky and said in amazement: "My lord, there are still stars in the sky, so it shouldn't be raining, right?"

"We have to be prepared for the unexpected. If there is a heavy rain, the entire section of the embankment will be broken. At that time, Zhengyang City will become a vast ocean."

There was unprecedented heaviness in Li Canghai's eyes, and he said these words almost word for word.

"My lord, we believe in you and will definitely lead us to block the breach." Chang Feng said seriously.

Li Canghai sighed long, lowered his head and gnawed on the bird's leg.

Although the night sky is full of stars, it gives people a very depressing feeling, like a sign before a storm.

The Yellow River breach continued to expand, and could no longer withstand the impact of the second flood peak. If it really rained at this time, the consequences would be so serious that Li Canghai could not imagine.

He decided that when Xiao Wu took the boat back, he would immediately start to block the Yellow River breach as planned.

"Chang Feng, Xiao Wu should be back soon, tell everyone to be ready to act at any time." Li Canghai said with his head down, gnawing on the bird's leg.

But strangely, this time he didn't hear any answer.

He didn't care at first, he was still thinking about the question, and after calling twice, he still didn't answer.

He hurriedly looked up, but was surprised to find that Chang Feng was lying on the ground, twitching all over his body, his expression seemed to be in pain.

Li Canghai was startled, he hurriedly helped Chang Feng up, and sat against the wall.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Chang Feng gritted his teeth desperately, with cold sweat constantly oozing from his forehead, Li Canghai's heart suddenly tightened.

"My... my lord, I... have a stomachache... such as twisting..." Chang Feng said with difficulty, foaming from his mouth, clutching his stomach, his face turning blue from the pain.

Li Canghai hurriedly felt for his pulse, and found that his pulse was extremely disordered.

At this moment, countless painful screams suddenly sounded around.

A soldier ran over in a hurry and reported eagerly: "My lord, it's not good, something strange happened, and many people fell down for no reason!"

Li Canghai's expression turned ugly in an instant, he took out a silver needle, and quickly pricked Chang Feng's chest a few times to let Chang Feng bear it, then hurriedly left with the soldier.

Around the Dragon King Temple and at the foot of the Gushan Mountain, there are sounds of pain and pain everywhere.

Countless coolies and civilians fell to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth, clutching their stomachs and desperately, rolling helplessly and howling.

"What... what's going on here?" Li Canghai asked sharply, his chest rising and falling, his eyes wide open angrily.

The soldier stared blankly at everything in front of him and shook his head: "We don't know what happened, they all lay on the ground at almost the same moment just now."

Li Canghai's face was gloomy. He walked up to a commoner who was writhing in pain, and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse. He found that the commoner's symptoms were the same as Chang Feng's.

After checking the pulse of several common people one after another, Li Canghai's expression became incomparably solemn, because he found that the symptoms of these people were exactly the same!
The sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

Nearly half of them were lying on the ground and rolling non-stop. Their expressions were extremely painful. Many of them were foaming at the mouth, and a few of them even fainted from the pain.

The rest of the people who were safe and sound were dumbfounded.

Someone yelled in horror: "God's punishment, this must be God's punishment! God sent the plague to punish us!"

The people who were in panic were deeply shocked by these words. They knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the sky, and begged tremblingly.

A cold light flashed in Li Canghai's eyes, and he hurriedly searched for the direction of the voice, but the voice fell into silence after he said it, and he searched for a while, but he couldn't find the source of the voice.
