"That's not a bad idea."
Bai Lian nodded thoughtfully.
The imperial censor was a top official in the Tang Dynasty. If he could control Chu Zhan, it would be very beneficial to both Bai Lian's promotion in the officialdom and the development of the White Lotus Sect in the Tang Dynasty.
"By the way, Master Cult Leader, I have something unclear."
The housekeeper said suddenly.
"whats the matter?"
Bai Lian motioned to the butler to continue.
"Master Cult Master, why don't you control Tang Hong with a poison?"
"Control Tang Hong with a poison? This Tang Hong is not qualified!"
"You know, my Gu insects are very precious. If you use one less than one, this Tang Hong is just the city lord of Shangcheng. As long as I pass Chu Zhan's background check, I can serve as the deputy city lord of Shangcheng. .”
"At that time, after I have established a firm foothold in Shangcheng, I will use chronic poison on Tang Hong to make him gradually exhausted. In this way, he will not be qualified for the position of Lord of Shangcheng. And when that time comes, it will definitely be me. The deputy city lord is on top, so there is no need to bewitch Tang Hong."
The corners of Bai Lian's mouth were raised high, with a proud look on her face.
Obviously, Bai Lian has already thought about the future path.
"His Majesty, the leader is very considerate. Sir, I have a merciless request."
The butler rubbed his hands and said.
"I know what you want."
"These people have really wronged you by asking you to stay with Tang Hong as a housekeeper. After I become the city lord of Shangcheng, I will propose to the court that you be the deputy city lord of Shangcheng. By then, the entire upper city will become our Bailian The home of teaching.”
Bai Lian said with a ferocious smile.
"Then I would like to thank the leader in advance."
The butler chuckled.
He had stayed with Tang Hong for a long time and had long seen the benefits of being an official, so he was particularly yearning for being an official.
…
time flies.
In a flash it was five days later.
Outside the upper city.
A team of carriages and horses slowly entered the city, it was Chu Zhan and others.
"Master, we've arrived in town."
The housekeeper said to Chu Zhan in the carriage.
"Um."
"Feng'er, we are finally here, otherwise my bones would fall apart at my age."
In the carriage, Chu Zhan stretched and complained.
But he was in good spirits and not tired at all.
This Chu Zhan was a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm. How could his bones fall apart just because he was riding in a carriage?
"Dad, leave me a map of the upper city. I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to find you later."
Chu Feng opened his eyes and said.
"Um?"
"Feng'er, what do you mean, are you not going to go to the City Lord's Mansion with me?"
Chu Zhan was a little puzzled, and then looked at Chu Feng with strange eyes.
Could this kid want to go to the restaurant again?
When he was in the royal city, Chu Zheng often took Chu Feng to the restaurant to listen to music.
Several times, Chu Zhan wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. After all, he had a good relationship with Chu Zheng. If Chu Feng was not allowed to go, it would be a loss of Chu Zheng's face.
On the other side, Chu Feng saw the weird look in Chu Zhan's eyes, how could he not know what Chu Zhan was thinking, and immediately explained: "Dad, I know a little bit about medical skills. Although the plague in the upper city has been controlled, there is no search. If we reach the source, it will inevitably happen suddenly in the future, or spread to other counties and cities, so I want to find out what the source of the plague is."
"So that's it, then go ahead."
"This is a map of the upper city."
Chu Zhan took out a map from his arms and handed it to Chu Feng.
After Chu Feng put away the map, he jumped up and flew off the carriage, but before leaving, Chu Zhan's reminder sounded in his ears.
"Feng'er, remember not to go to a restaurant alone to listen to music, it's dangerous!"
Chu Feng:......
Hey, that's not right.
Don't go to a restaurant alone to listen to music?
Do I still need to take you with me?
Thinking of this, Chu Feng's face twitched.
If this matter were to reach Tang Yu's ears, Chu Zhan would not even be able to get into bed.
Forget it, just pretend that I don’t know about this kind of thing, I’ll go find out what kind of plague this upper city is.
In order to prevent his appearance from being too ostentatious, Chu Feng wore a half-covered mask so that when he asked others questions, others would not regard him as a bandit or the like.
Because the plague was under control, the streets of the upper city became lively again, and some bold traders had already started doing business.
The restaurant, which was originally closed, slowly opened its doors, and various lively and rough sounds resounded throughout the restaurant. A graceful dancer above the restaurant began to show off her slender waist, which caused another burst of loud cheers from the people below. .
Since we are asking for information, the restaurant is the best place.
Although this kind of place is crowded, you can get a lot of information.
Chu Feng didn't think much. After asking around for a while, he took the map and headed to the second largest restaurant in the upper city.
As for why he didn’t go to the largest restaurant, it was because during the plague, more than half of the people in the largest restaurant in the upper city died, and the shopkeeper also went to other counties and cities and has not come back yet, so Chu Feng could only go to the second largest restaurant. The restaurant asked for news.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the second largest restaurant, there were two rouged women walking towards Chu Feng.
"Dear guest, our restaurant has some good wines. Do you want to try them?"
The two women scratched their heads and said coquettishly.
"You can eat less, I'm not a good drinker."
Chu Feng's eyes stayed on the two women in front of him for a moment and then moved away.
The figure is barely okay, but too much rouge is applied to the face, which is not Chu Feng's type.
"okay."
"Hurry up and invite this distinguished guest inside."
"Waiter, bring some new bottles of wine."
"immediately!"
There were many people in the restaurant, so Chu Feng chose a quiet spot by the window.
The restaurants in Shangcheng are more than one level behind the restaurants in Wangcheng.
This is Chu Feng's initial impression, but Chu Feng is not here to evaluate the quality of the restaurant.
After a while, the wine was served, and Chu Feng ordered two girls to accompany him while drinking, asking for news, and at the same time paying attention to what the strong men around him were discussing.
"You two girls, I just came to the upper city today. Why do you think the upper city is a little depressed?"
Chu Feng asked.
"This distinguished guest, are you from out of town?"
"Wang Cheng is here to do some business."
"It turns out that he is a distinguished guest from the royal city. To be honest, the upper city just experienced a plague, but many people died."
"If it hadn't been for the masters from the city lord's side coming up with a prescription to deal with the plague two days ago, I don't know how many people would have died!"
The two girls from Chu Feng ordered me to explain with one glance.
"So that's it."
Chu Feng deliberately showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said thoughtfully: "Generally speaking, plagues have their origins. Some are rats, or poultry that died of illness, and some are flying bats. You know the plague in the upper city?" , what’s the source of the initiative?”
"The source? I don't know this."
"However, I heard that the plague first started to spread in the area around the Earth Temple in the upper city."
One girl thought for a while and replied.
