Chapter 476 Bad things(2/2)
As time goes by, the situation in the city, which had just improved, deteriorates again.
A small-scale plague broke out in each city and spread to the surrounding areas.
Many people working in the Taiyuan government were infected with the plague and fell ill.
The illness of these people also affected the process of containing the plague, causing the civil plague to further get out of control. The original lockdown time limit was soon exceeded.
As the time limit for the closure of the city has exceeded, even without the leaflets to incite public sentiment, the accumulated emotions of the people have gradually reached their peak.

"A small plague ghost charm can actually disable the government of a state."
In the Wangfu Courtyard, the elders of the Wang clan gathered together again to discuss the next move.
"Haha, the newspapers are still saying that the epidemic ghost charm is useless. You are deceiving yourself."
A clan elder closed today's newspaper with a smile and said to other clan elders: "Now it is certain that the Chang'an court will no longer send manpower to Taiyuan Prefecture.
The plague in the city is about to be out of control. Sending one or two thousand soldiers in to suppress the situation will be a drop in the bucket and will not help.
They will only guard the city gates to prevent civilians from escaping."
"Of course the plague ghost talisman is useful. Our Wang family finally no longer has to die every day. No common people dare to stick the talisman on the door of the Wang family, which is always guarded."
Another clan elder said with a smile: "Where is His Royal Highness the King of Yue? Haven't you left yet?"
"No, but it will be soon."
Someone said proudly: "According to reports from people placed by the Wang family at the Chang'an court, the topic of the Chang'an court meeting has been transferred from the plague in Hedong Road to the war with the Zhou Dynasty on the southern front.
Your Majesty himself does not want to sacrifice his most beloved son and daughter for the sake of a state capital and a meaningless reputation.
King Yue and Princess Guanghua will probably be taken away today. Taiyuan Mansion will be ours again."
For the aristocratic family, regaining control of the state capital where they live is as comfortable as a fish entering water.
Under the influence of the Plague Ghost Talisman, the Wang family no longer has to die, and no longer has to rush to find ways to escape from the state capital.
In fact, the more people die in the city, the more beneficial it is to the Wang family - they can take the opportunity to buy real estate and houses and further control the city.
Even if the casualties among the people in the city were more severe, the negative impact on the Wang family would be very limited - the more severe the casualties, the sooner the plague would end.
However, Yu State has never been short of people. If there are fewer people, people from other places in Hedong Road will naturally flow into Taiyuan Mansion.
"Who said the plague is a bad thing? Now it seems that with the Plague Ghost Talisman, the plague has turned into a good thing.
You can target your enemies without harming yourself."
An elder from the clan said with emotion: "The Gu Master is truly the most powerful path. In terms of destructive power, it is far superior to the Talisman Sword Mind Body."
"It's not necessarily true that he is the strongest."
Another clan elder shook his head and said: "The Gu technique depends on the Gu master's body. If the Gu master dies, the Gu technique will continue to be weak and will dissipate on its own soon.
And if the influence of the voodoo technique is too large, the voodoo master himself will also be under heavy pressure.
This means that artificial voodoo can only affect one state at most. It cannot sweep across a country.
That’s why historically, the stronger Talisman Technique, Sword Mind Body, has dominated the mainstream, while Gu Technique has been a sideline.
The most terrifying and unsolvable plague can only be the natural evolution of heaven.
The Gu Master can take advantage of it and add fuel to the flames. Even if the Gu Master is killed, it cannot end the plague itself."
"For example, the previous water poisoning in Suzhou, such as the plague in Hedong Road this time."
The white-haired clan elder paused and asked: "How is it going in the prefect's mansion? Has Li Ang developed any medicine?"
With the help of the Plague Ghost Talisman, Wang successfully protected herself and repelled the oppression from Chang'an.
Now King Yue and Princess Guanghua have to evacuate, and Taiyuan Mansion is back under control. The Wang family once again won a great victory.
"If Li Ang can develop a drug, that would be the best. There will be a solution to the plague and everyone will be safe.
If he can't develop a drug, that's acceptable. With the plague ghost talisman around, the Wang family is safe and sound."
The old man from the white-haired clan babbled: "No matter which ending happens, when the time comes, the King of Yue, Princess Guanghua, and Li Ang will be given gifts out of the city. The Wang family will still be the Wang family.
We also have an explanation for the Cui family, the Lu family, and the Zheng family who have secretly helped us so much this time..."
"I'm sorry, Uncle San,"
