Five days later, Zhang Haotian left the boundary of Jizhou and entered the boundary of Qingzhou. In front of him, a huge city appeared before him.

The gray-black wall has existed for many years, and is filled with the atmosphere of time, which is almost the same as what you see in TV series.

This is a small city, Yuyang City, which is located between the boundaries of Qingzhou and Jizhou, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

A group of officers and soldiers at the door were guarding each other, closely inspecting passing merchants, and collecting city gate taxes.

“Pay tax!”

At the city gate, Zhang Haotian was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

"Pay tax? What tax?"

Zhang Haotian looked at the officers and soldiers blocking the road unhappily.

When I went in and out of the four gates of the capital, I didn’t see anyone who dared to collect his own taxes. Someone in Jizhou just now wanted to collect his own taxes.

Could it be that my physique is white, which makes these guys feel that they are easy to bully?

"No, the entry tax. As long as the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom have to pay the entry tax when entering the city, don't you know?"

Although Zhang Haotian was one head taller than the soldier guarding the gate, the soldier was not afraid of him at all.

"Show me clearly!"

Zhang Haotian didn't say anything nonsense, he shook the Qianhuxiaxia brand in front of the soldiers guarding the city gate, and said unhappily: "Do you think I need to pay taxes?"

"No, no, please come in, sir, please come in!"

The waist card of the Evil Division was so scared that the soldiers guarding the gate shivered and hurriedly moved away and said respectfully.

Zhang Haotian glanced at the gate guarding soldier and rode his horse straight into the city.

In fact, the "city gate tax" of the Great Zhou Empire is actually a "commercial tax". It only collects taxes on past vendors, and ordinary pedestrians do not need to pay this "city gate tax".

However, this policy was strictly implemented in cities near the central imperial capital of the Great Zhou Empire. After leaving Jizhou, other places changed the policy and became a "city gate tax" for all passers-by. Of course, the so-called passers-by here did not include those nobles.

When entering Yuyang City, teams of soldiers were patrolling on the street. These people were so arrogant that they were full of temples. They could tell at a glance that they were all Jianjiazi!

Zhang Haotian couldn't help but frowned and said to himself: "Is something wrong with Yuzhou City?"

Zhang Haotian looked at the people on the street in confusion.

The pedestrians on these streets looked obviously nervous, and they came and went in a hurry, all bowed their heads and rushed. There were too few stalls, and they looked deserted.

It's morning now, and it's the most lively place in the city, but the situation is very abnormal now.

"It seems that something really happened."

Zhang Haotian was suspicious.

He walked towards a restaurant, handed the horses to the restaurant staff for feeding the forage, then went in and found a seat, ordered a table of food and drinks, and gave the shop staff a piece of silver and asked in confusion: "Brother, is there something wrong in this city? Why are there so many officers and soldiers patrolling the streets?"

The shop assistant's face changed, he looked around and sighed in a low voice: "Something happened, hey... you should have seen it, even the soldiers of the Qilin Camp stationed outside the city were dispatched."

"What the hell is it?"

Zhang Haotian became curious.

"Since half a month ago, Mr. Xu, the family of the east Jinxiulou family, was bitten to death by a crazy domestic cat. Everyone died terrible."

"Since that day, many people have been bitten to death by domestic cats every day. In just half a month, hundreds of people have died. Although the government blocked the news, it still spread."

The shop guy turned pale and whispered.

"A domestic cat bites people to death?"

Zhang Haotian widened his eyes and said, "What a joke? The domestic cat is so big that it can kill so many people?"

This is the first time Zhang Haotian heard a cat bite to death and so many people were killed.

If this is true, the domestic cat will probably become a sperm.

"Customer, please keep your mouth shut."

The shop clerk hurriedly stretched out his finger and whispered again: "If the sergeant patrolling the street heard it, it would be troublesome. Actually, this is nothing?"

Speaking of this, the shop assistant seemed to want to speak but stopped.

"Brother, this is a reward for you!"

Zhang Haotian took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

The shop assistant looked happy, and immediately put the broken silver into his arms, and whispered again: "You can just listen to what I said, please listen to it, don't say it out."

"It is said that these corpses that were bitten to death by domestic cats changed into zombies one night. Many yamen runners in the yamen were bitten to death by the zombies."

"Now the whole of Yuyang City is in panic. Many wealthy families have fled Yuyang City. Now, let alone at night, even during the day, everyone dares to go out more."

Zhang Haotian frowned.

Being bitten to death by a domestic cat, the corpse turns into a zombie!?

"Also, last night, a sister from Yuchunlou suddenly disappeared. She didn't look for her until this morning. Where did you find her?"

The waiter was mysterious and a little nervous.

“Where?”

Zhang Haotian asked.

"When I was found in the cathouse in Yuchun Tower, half of my face was bitten, but I was still alive. Unfortunately, after being carried out for half an hour, my whole body suddenly turned black and pus and blood flowed out. Then there was only a pair of bones left. Dozens of eyes were watching, and many people were frightened and sick."

The shop guy said with a pale face.

"Have you found out the reason?"

Zhang Haotian asked.

"The news came from the yamen that they were bitten to death by the cat demon. However, everyone didn't think so. They all thought it was the evil spirit who was making a monster. However, the yamen asked us to keep our mouths strictly, and no one was allowed to discuss or speculate, and no one was allowed to go out after the Xu hour."

The shop guy said.

"Cat Demon?"

Zhang Haotian's face changed.

It seems that he is not an ordinary cat demon.

Bites to death can also turn corpses into bones, and can also turn corpses into bones.

"Celebrity, I won't say much. Remember not to go out after the Xu hour!"

The shop guy looked at Zhang Haotian and said.

"I understand. Brother, please help me go to the car shop and hire me a carriage. I need to be covered with soft pads and comfortable sitting. I want to go to Qingyang County, Youzhou."

Zhang Haotian took out 100 taels of silver and handed it to the shop clerk and said.

Even though Zhang Haotian had a good physique and had been riding for two days, he felt uncomfortable all over, so Zhang Haotian was preparing to transfer to Qingyang County, Youzhou.

Although the speed will be slower, it is at least comfortable.

Anyway, Zhang Haotian is not in a hurry to rush.

...

An hour later, Zhang Haotian drove out of Yuyang in a carriage.

There was no other way. When I heard that I was going to Qingyang County, Youzhou, no one was willing to go, even if Zhang Haotian gave it three times the price.

In the end, Zhang Haotian had to spend money to buy a carriage and drove it to Qingyang County, Youzhou by himself.

He headed west until it was dark and did not see a group of people. He was not sleepy. Zhang Haotian continued to rush forward. Anyway, he was sleeping in the carriage when he was sleepy. There was bedding inside, so he was comfortable to sleep.

"Why are you still here?"

Zhang Haotian looked at the big stone in front of him in confusion.

If I remember correctly, this is the third time I have passed this big stone.

Zhang Haotian felt a little uneasy.

Damn.
Chapter completed!
