    The room was too dark, and Xue Yao couldn't see clearly what the man's expression was at this moment. He could only vaguely see a trace of hesitation in his slightly bright eyes, but it was fleeting.

    "Dog officer!" The strong man's mind turned around, and the sickle in his hand was pressed against Xue Yao's neck. He shouted in a low voice, out of control: "You want to lie to me? If I let you go, won't you be caught by the official immediately?"  gone!"

    "I can make a written statement." The iron blade pressed tighter and tighter on his neck, making Xue Yao feel that things were out of control, and he could only prepare to fight to the death.

    However, at first glance, this man had a strong body that he had trained through hard work every day. Even if he could block the scythe, he would not be able to fight back and suppress him. Xue Yao could only induce: "I can also give you priority to participate in this sacrifice. Five people  Among the quotas, you are guaranteed to be one."

    Xue Yao already regrets stopping this death ceremony. Even if this man now demands that all the people in the county participate in the sacrifice together, he will not stop it again.

    But it¡¯s too late to regret.

    The man raised the sickle and chopped off his neck so fast that he didn¡¯t even have time to reach out from the quilt to stop him¡ª¡ª

    There was a muffled "dong" sound, and the man exclaimed. His wrist was pierced by a hidden weapon flying from the window, and the sickle fell on Xue Yao's quilt.

    Xue Yao sat up instantly and grabbed the sickle.

    The strong man who was a step too late came to his senses and wanted to grab the knife, but was pulled away by a black shadow flying into the room and kicked violently.

    The strong man knocked over the wooden table in the center of the room and rolled on the ground holding his chest that was kicked.

    Xue Yao sat on the bed as if waking up from a dream, still holding the sickle tightly in his hand and shaking uncontrollably.

    "You're not hurt, are you?"

    Zhang Si¡¯s voice was like a sedative, causing Xue Yao to exhale in one breath.

    Blowing the fire stick, Zhang Si lit the lamp in the room, and Xue Yao realized that he was not wearing any coat.

    Zhang Si walked up to the strong man and said, "Who sent you here?"

    The strong man looked up at Zhang Si in astonishment and immediately kicked his feet to dodge in the corner.

    "He is a common man who wants to participate in the sacrifice." Xue Yao calmed down and braced himself to get out of bed.

    "I want to participate in the sacrificehehe." Zhang Si stepped on the man's chest: "The government won't let you sacrifice, so you don't dare to go to the official to make trouble, but you are quite good at picking honest people to bully!"

    Zhang Si exerted a little force on his feet, and the strong man's chest thumped, and he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

    "Don't!" Xue Yao hurriedly asked Zhang Si to stop.

    Zhang Si turned his head and looked at Xue Yao: "Mr.

    "You stay away from him first! Just kick him unconscious." Xue Yao warned: "His father has been infected with the plague and died. He may also be in the incubation period of the plague. Don't be contaminated by his blood droplets."

    Zhang Si followed Xue Yao¡¯s order and kicked the man unconscious, then called the accompanying young eunuch to drag him away. He then used disinfectant water prepared by Xue Yao to clean up the blood stains in the room, and he and Xue Yao washed their hands with soap.

    The two of them were sitting on the stone stairs outside the door. The yard under the moonlight was empty and silent.

    Seeing that Xue Yao's face was still pale, Zhang Si whispered: "I have neglected my duty. I will stay in your room at night from now on."

    Xue Yao came back to his senses, turned around and smiled bitterly: "You are not a tough guy. You always have to sleep in the middle of the night. I never thought that I would be assassinated one day, let alone the person who wanted to kill me would be me.  Someone you want to save.¡±

    "You are just too soft-hearted." Zhang Si frowned and said, "When I stole your money, you repaid me with kindness, saying that you saved me because of my ability. What about these stubborn villagers? Why did you take the risk?  It¡¯s such a big risk to stay here to save these people who want to kill you? Now they are repaying kindness with revenge, is this the result you want?¡±

    Xue Yao sneered: "You think of me too well."

    Zhang Si was puzzled.

    Xue Yao saved Zhang Si because he wanted him to teach the fifth prince kung fu and tell the seventh prince the whereabouts of the sword master.

    "Saving the people is for the sake of the prince."

    The starting point is not for the people being rescued.

    But what Zhang Si said is right. He is a person who is easy to be soft-hearted. At first, in order to protect himself, he made the seventh prince happy, but in the end he became an old father.

    Later, for the sake of the seventh prince, I protected the prince, and ended up becoming the prince's little fanboy.

    After that, I saved Zhang Si for the princes, and gradually regarded Zhang Si as a true friend in my heart.

    Now, in order to avoid causing trouble with the reform, Xue Yao came to Pingrong County to control the plague, but he could not just watch the elders of the three counties.Sacrifice, the number of people participating in the sacrifice is limited to ten people"

    "How can ten people be enough?" Someone immediately started to protest.

    "Listen to what I have to say." Xue Yao waited for the crowd to calm down before continuing: "According to the rules, on the day of the sacrifice, unrelated people are not allowed to stay in the market. After the sacrifice is over, the market will leave immediately and everyone will go back to their homes.

    Within six days, I guarantee that more than five people will be killed by the newly recruited plague ghost!

    You can see if my prediction can be fulfilled. After eight days, you can hold the second sacrifice, and there will no longer be any restrictions on the number of participants.

    Those who want to be possessed by the plague ghost can go and die, but I will never stop them.  "

    As soon as the words fell, the faces of a group of common people turned pale, and after a while they started talking among themselves.

    Not long after, the village representative stood up and said, "Just do as the Taoist leader said!"

    ??

    If this still fails to stop large-scale sacrificial activities, Xue Yao will completely give up.

    ¡° If the confrontation continues, even Zhang Si may not be able to protect him, and the villagers will fight with the government, which will still cause large-scale infection.

    Four days later, the first small sacrificial ceremony ended.

    The villagers happily began to prepare for the second large-scale sacrifice.

    Two days later, four of the ten people who participated in the first sacrifice developed symptoms of pneumonic plague.

    Four days later, one person fell ill and died.

    Five days later, two people fell ill and died.

    Seven days later, all four people who became infected died of the disease.

    The villagers who were preparing for the second sacrifice stopped.

    The villagers began to discuss Xue Yao¡¯s original prediction.

    The rumor that the capital sent a living god soon spread in the village.

    Two days later, some villagers came to the Yamen and asked the Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits.

    Three days later, a large number of villagers gave up participating in the second sacrifice.

    An old villager who firmly believed in the tradition of sacrificial rituals banged his cane and scolded Xue Yao for bumping into a dead mouse, saying that he predicted that more than five people would die, but in the end, four people died.

    Two days later, three more family members of the four deceased who participated in the sacrifice fell ill and died.

    So far, no one has mentioned the second sacrifice again. Half of the new altar has been built, and no one dares to touch it again.

    Many villagers kneel at the door of the government office every day, begging the living gods to exorcise evil spirits.

    Xue Yao felt that the second step of the plan, which had been brewing for several days, could be announced - exterminating rats and fleas, isolating the sick, and prohibiting relatives from mourning the deceased.

    ¡°In fact, he also wanted to ask for the burning of the corpses of the deceased, but in ancient times, this might cause a blood feud with the family of the deceased, so it was best to wait until the prince arrived before enforcing it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
