The dead man Shen Hao had the impression that he was a Qianhusou guard at the third level of Qi Refining. He had been staying around Shen Hao before and listened to the tune. Although he couldn't name him, he looked familiar.

How did this person get in touch with the source of the plague? Why were the others not infected? Even the wounded who were carried back due to poisoning were getting better and no one died.

Asked the other soldiers who had been with the deceased, they did not find any abnormalities or injuries before their death.

"He was very careful and kept supporting the true qi shield at night, and no poisonous insects could bite him."

"He also listened to the tune in the middle during the day and rarely participated in the search team, so he seemed to have never encountered any danger."

"It's been fine all the time, but suddenly died."

It was impossible that he was infected by the source of the plague at night. Because everyone was nervous to deal with it all night, and the poisonous substances with the shield of the true qi will not touch the dead. Otherwise, he would not be the only one who was infected with the plague.

Moreover, the Xu family in Xiushan Village is just an ordinary family. It is amazing that they have had small officials in the army. Later, Xu Tianwu's descendants did not become monks. After going to the special place before, they could not stop the poisonous insects at night, so the Xu family could only dare to enter during the day, and the Xu family could only be infected with plague during the day.

But there are no poisonous insects all over the sky during the day. Isn’t the source of the plague a bug?

Shen Hao carefully recalled what he saw and heard along the way, as well as the scenes of the deceased wandering in front of his eyes. Finally, a picture flashed through his mind: on the second day after the rock had been attacked by night insects, Shen Hao vaguely remembered that the deceased slapped to death a pea-sized insect beside him, remembering it was around his neck.

He hurriedly went to see the corpse and pressed the head of the corpse with a long stick. Shen Hao's eyes clearly saw a clear trace of festering on the right side of the deceased's neck. It was very small and it was not easy to find in the black spots hidden on the skin, but it could not escape Shen Hao's eyes.

That's the location! Shen Hao is sure that the place where he saw the deceased slap a little insect to death was the festering place on his neck.

Is an inconspicuous little bug the source of the plague? And there are those kind of bugs during the day. Shen Hao was a little scared when he thought that the source of the terrifying plague would be a little bug that looked like no danger, and he would even be slapped to death as a mosquito.

I found a few personal guards from Thousand Houses, told them about their judgment, and asked them to enter the foreign land again, but without going deeper, I carefully caught insects in the forest when I discovered the ghost-headed pears before, especially the insects that were the size of peas. Take her sheepskin hands, take the jade bottle, and set off immediately.

Here we arranged to verify the source of the plague before leaving. On the other hand, Wang Yiming hurriedly found Shen Hao with a copy of the order from the tutor's yamen.

"Sir, Lord Jiang urgently ordered!"

It was actually Jiang Cheng who crossed Wu Changhe and issued a direct order to him? Why is it so urgent?

Shen Hao took the Ling Tiao and waved his hand and stepped back. He had some guesses in his mind that it was probably about that special place. After all, many of the people who were traveling with him were not his direct subordinates, and it was understandable that those who wanted to take credit were just to blame. But he didn't expect to directly lead Jiang Cheng. I wonder how long Wu Changhe would have to operate in Fengricheng to eliminate the influence left by Jiang Cheng?

When he opened the order, as Shen Hao expected, it was about the special place. He was very anxious and asked Shen Hao to report the details directly to him and ordered Shen Hao to not give up the line from Wanhekou to that special place to anyone before he gave Shen Hao the order to withdraw. He must keep it and take it firmly.

Jiang Cheng was not a person who was eager for quick success and instant benefits. He crossed Wu Changhe so arrogantly to command the Black Flag Camp in Fengricheng for a so-called "treasure land". He also explicitly stated that no one was allowed to interfere in the matter at the Wanhekou front line, which was already causing Shen Hao and the local government to seize power.

It’s just some resources, so it’s not like Jiang Cheng’s appearance that it’s hard to see? At least he doesn’t believe Shen Hao’s understanding of Jiang Cheng.

Shen Hao felt a trace of unusual aura.

Sure enough, the Wanhekou line, which was originally cleaned and restored in the next two days, had another accident. Wu Changhe sent a ruling note to suggest that Shen Hao could withdraw and hand over the cleanup and post the matter of the local government, but Shen Hao refused because "the source of the plague was unknown."

Immediately afterwards, the Jingxi Army also came to document, saying that considering that the plague situation was not yet completely stable, and the Xuanqingwei was short of staff, hoping that he could help share some pressure and hand over the prevention and control of the Wanhekou line to them.

The most intense words are the local yamen in Fengricheng. They blocked the door of Shen Hao's temporary public office and didn't leave, and they almost cursed. Anyway, they spoke very badly, and the upper and lower parts mean the same thing: Xuan Qingwei was doing something recklessly through the power!

Shen Hao also knew that he was doing something recklessly through power, but there was no way. He could not ignore Jiang Cheng's orders unless he didn't want to continue to hang out in Xuanqingwei.

Fortunately, the third batch of spies entering the mountain brought back the news that made Shen Hao feel excited: the bugs were caught.

Several spies lost weight and were so frustrated by this mission that they were so scared that they caught a bug.

The jade bottles he brought were used up. Several people went back and forth between the mountains and the special land, and caught a total of 38 kinds of pea-sized insects. Now they were all placed in front of Shen Hao, all in the jade bottle and they were all alive.

Shen Hao probably read it, and he still remembers what the insect that the deceased slapped to death looked like, but only the size. However, there are not many rules and regulations in this world, and Shen Hao has a lot of room for operation, although it is a bit cruel.

"Let me find someone to paint these insects, and then find more death row prisoners to try it. Put them one by one on their necks and pat them to see who will get sick and plague the next day. After confirming, you can submit it in the file. Do it quickly."

There are no shortage of death row prisoners. Wang Yiming nodded and left. There were many local officials in the dungeon who had previously been dereliction of duty and concealed reports, and they happened to contribute to it. This was much more valuable than beheading.

After that, Shen Hao didn't wait long, but it turned out. Wang Yiming came to report with a description of death and a portrait of a bug. The admiration in his eyes could not be concealed. No one expected that Shen Hao actually found the source of the plague.

"Name it as the Black Spot Plagueworm, immediately fix the file, and show it to me after it is sorted out, so as to report it to the thousand households within today."

"Okay, a hundred household officials came outside, saying that they were from the tutor's yamen, with their surname Chen, and they said they were your old acquaintance. They had been waiting for a long time."
