At this moment, my eyes suddenly became clear, and all the confusing questions before were answered one by one.

No wonder this plague appeared so early, because this epidemic was not brought by the victims at all, but mosquitoes had already spread before the victims entered the city; and those people in the North City would be infected, and there would naturally be traces

It can be seen that even Huang Tianba, who left Yangzhou along the waterway to recover the grain merchants' grain ships on the day the disaster victims entered the city, still contracted the disease because he was the closest to the copper box that day.

People!

The doctors in the state capital could not diagnose my illness. I am afraid it is because this epidemic is different from ordinary plagues, so they have difficulty in diagnosing the disease.

But when this happens, bigger doubts arise.

Who brought those mosquitoes to Yangzhou, and what was their purpose?

I looked at him, and he was looking at me. Apparently we both thought about it at the same time. Recalling the scene that day, the officer at the inn was also very surprised when he saw the copper box opened. It seemed that he was also surprised.

I don’t know the truth of the matter.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and a scene flashed through——

When the copper box was opened, I seemed to see that the seal on the box was bright yellow!

The messages delivered by the inn are graded. The seals received by officials below the fifth rank are blue, the seals received by officials below the third rank are green, the seals received by officials below the first rank are red, and bright yellow is a color that only the royal family can use.

!

In other words, the box that was delivered to Yangzhou was for the royal family, and there is only one royal family in Yangzhou currently!

That box was passed to Pei Yuanhao!

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a numbness in my scalp. When I thought about Pei Yuanhao opening the box and countless mosquitoes carrying the disease pounced on him, what would it be like!

Then he must be the first person to die from the plague!

In other words, this epidemic is to harm him. Who is so bold?

At this time, a figure flashed in my mind - Queen Yin!

On the way south, when Pei Yuanhao and I talked about this incident, we both guessed that Queen Yin was poisoned this time, and that the fourth prince launched an attack and led Pei Yuanhao south. It was all planned by them, but

I couldn't figure out why they did this before, but now that I look at it, everything is clear.

They seemed to have calculated the timing correctly. Within a few days after Pei Yuanhao arrived in Yangzhou, according to the timing of famines in previous years, refugees would pour into Yangzhou from all directions. As the third prince, Pei Yuanhao would not sit idly by and must stay in Yangzhou.

These matters are handled here, but as soon as the food problem of the victims is solved, he will return to Beijing immediately, which will be very detrimental to them. Therefore, they brought the disease-carrying mosquitoes into Yangzhou through the post road officials, causing the plague here.

, even if Pei Yuanhao opens the box and sees the mosquitoes and knows their conspiracy, it will still take more than a month to return to the capital from here. He is afraid that before he has time to go back, he will——

Now, although there was an accident on the way and Pei Yuanhao was fine, the spread of the epidemic in Yangzhou City still delayed him temporarily.

But, here’s the problem.
