Chapter 2107 Nothing can be done

The city government hesitated and reported a number.

An Yi was a little surprised: "Why so few?"

The city government hurriedly said: "Before, Wangchuan City was besieged for many days, and the food and grass were almost exhausted. In addition, the city was destroyed, and many people in the city government's yamen fled with them. Only a few thousand kilograms of food and a few hundred taels of silver were left. It’s not easy! Among them, there are also the salaries of the government officials for this month!”

An Yi bit his lip. It was true that Wangchuan City had just been stable for a short time. Now such a big accident has occurred. The treasury of the city government office is so small that nothing can be done!

But in order to stabilize Wangchuan, she had already spent tens of thousands of taels of her private money on giving soup.

Now that the whole city is under quarantine, where can she invest so much money?

Just when Anyi was at a loss what to do, Chen Xiaowu came back from Yancheng.

"How is the situation in Yancheng?" Anyi asked.

Chen Xiaowu drank a glass of water, and then he took a breath and said: "The entrance to Yancheng was blocked by a funeral convoy. It is said that this is the funeral convoy of a large family. Those of small families died because there were too many deaths. They didn’t even bother to hold funerals, so they were all wrapped up in straw mats and buried on the spot!”

An Yi was startled: "So, what Chen Xiaosheng said is true?"

Chen Xiaowu nodded: "I waited for half a day before I could go in. I walked on the street for an hour. There were almost no people on the street. Many shops were closed. I finally found a shop and asked about it. The shopkeeper He said that in the past half month, people in Yancheng have been dying continuously, and the symptoms are all similar to poisoning. They suspected that someone was poisoning, but the yamen checked for a long time but there was no news, so now the people in the city are scolding the newly appointed city government. No way!"

An Yi frowned, these ignorant people thought it was poisoning.

An Yi suddenly thought that the man they met when they left Yancheng died suddenly on the street. At that time, Chen Xiaowu said that he was poisoned. Could it be...

"Do you still remember that a person died at the gate when we left Yancheng? That person's symptoms..." Before An Yi finished speaking, Chen Xiaowu nodded immediately: "Madam, they all have those symptoms, so Yancheng's The yamen has always suspected someone of poisoning!"

"Then who are the first batch of people who died that I asked you to check? Have you checked?" Anyi asked.

Chen Xiaowu nodded: "I checked. I asked the city government officials. The first group of people to die should be the beggars in Yancheng. It is said that they spread from the beggars first! You said these people poisoned and died from poison?" What are some beggars doing? And it’s so widespread, could it be that they’re poisoning the well water?”

Chen Xiaowu was not in Wangchuan City these days. He didn't know the situation in Wangchuan City, so he thought someone was poisoning him behind his back.

An Yi shook his head: "It's not poison, it's probably pneumonic plague! Did you see big rats when you went to Yancheng?"

Chen Xiaowu nodded: "There are a lot of big rats on the streets. The town man also said that the medicine my wife prepared worked at first, but then it didn't work very well. There are still a lot of big rats in the city today!"

An Yi couldn't help but worry. Yancheng was only separated from Shuicheng, where Feng Qingchen was, by Wooden City. Now that Wangchuan City had been infected, what was the situation in Wooden City?

Anyi hesitated for a moment, then went to the kitchen to fry some chicken legs and put them on the altar table, then knocked on the altar table three times.

This was the secret code that An Yi and Pulao had communicated before. Pulao suffered backlash for unlocking the golden dragon phase and has been in seclusion. But now that the matter is urgent, An Yi can only ask Pulao for help.
