Chapter 107 Confrontation with the People

In the afternoon, Yan Yunxiao re-sent couriers to allocate supplies to the three supply depots, and called in Master Song, the magistrate of the state, to rearrange manpower and distribute the supplies to various locations in Tongzhou.

Mr. Song felt guilty and lost his mind several times while listening to Yan Yunxiao's orders and dispatches.

Did His Majesty see the false data in the booklet or not?

If he didn't see it, why did he suddenly mobilize a large amount of supplies? Then if he saw something wrong, he should be punished by now, right?

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to think any more. At the moment, he just immersed himself in doing whatever Yan Yunxiao ordered him to do, and did not dare to say another word, for fear that Yan Yunxiao would catch him in his mistakes.

Yan Yunxiao watched his reaction in his eyes, but remained calm.

The supplies from all parties must have arrived in Tongzhou at night. In this case, Yan Yunxiao personally led a team of supplies to Xiaolan County.

Xiaolan County is just a small county in Tongzhou City, relatively close to the southernmost location of Tongzhou. It took more than two hours to ride a carriage. When Yan Yunxiao and Su Jiuer arrived, the sky was already dark.

But both of them looked very ugly.

Along the way, Su Jiu'er and Yan Yunxiao saw from inside the carriage that the street was very depressed, with many patients with exaggerated symptoms and unable to move huddled in some corners.

The further south you go, the more terrifying the scene becomes, which is completely different from the situation in the main city of Tongzhou.

The economy of Xiaolan County is not very good. It is remote and small, so this place does not have the jurisdiction of a county magistrate. It is managed by the magistrate of a nearby small county.

At this critical moment, there are not enough supplies, so naturally no one has the time to take care of them.

Mr. Song was even more afraid that he would be punished if he reported the true plague data, so he underreported a lot. Such false information further deprived this place of sufficient supplies.

After such a cycle for a long time, the resources here have long been exhausted.

Other counties have sealed their territory tightly, and the people of Xiaolan County now seem to be trapped here. No matter which way they go, they will eventually be driven back to this small and remote chassis.

Many of them knew in their hearts that all the adults in Tongzhou City had given up on them.

So a leader emerged among them, and under the guise of self-rescue, began to regulate and control the plague situation here.

In the gray sky, Yan Yunxiao and Su Jiuer got off the carriage and looked at Xiaolan County at their feet. There was an icy cold silence coming from the shop floor.

There were many people lying down on the street. They were all casually covered with tattered bedding. Su Jiuer could see clearly that the exposed hands and feet were cold, gray, and dark.

It turned out to be such a despairing and suffocating scene.

This was much more serious than Yan Yunxiao and Su Jiuer imagined.

Su Jiuer subconsciously held her breath for a few seconds. This place gave her the feeling that she was surrounded by the claws of evil spirits, as if whoever the invisible hands grabbed would definitely die.

She and Yan Yunxiao looked at each other, and both saw unprecedented solemnity in the other's eyes.

The cavalry led by Yan Yunxiao was only six cars, accompanied by more than thirty people. In addition to the twelve military guards, there were six apprentice doctors, two imperial doctors, and ten young men transferred from Lord Song.

.

But for Xiaolan County, which no one cares about now, the commotion caused is still very big.

As soon as a few people arrived here and got off the carriage, they were surrounded by a group of people.

They were a group of tough men. Although all of them had their mouths and noses covered, one could still see consideration, caution, anger, and unkindness in their eyes.

The leading man held a torch, and the rest held hoes and sickles as weapons.

Upon seeing this, the twelve military guards immediately grasped the hilts of their swords at their waists, and the atmosphere became extremely tense for a moment.

It's not that I'm afraid of these people, I'm just afraid of misunderstandings. If a dispute breaks out, things will be even more difficult to handle later.

Besides, no one in Xiaolan County is paying attention to this situation. They have already had the intention of instigating rebellion. Their current ferocious mentality is almost the same as that of desperadoes. If they cause trouble, both sides will lose.

Just when the guards were about to pull out their swords, Yan Yunxiao raised his hand, and they released their swords with doubts.

The leading man saw that Yan Yunxiao was their leader and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Although they didn't know what this group of people were doing here, they took a fancy to the six carriages behind them.

They are now short of food and clothing, and are ready to rob this "randomly intruding" team.

Yan Yunxiao was obviously not happy with such a rude and overbearing question. His handsome brows furrowed and his phoenix eyes were like sharp sword blades as he glanced at the man.

This glance made the man's heart tremble. He subconsciously took two steps back, and then looked at Yan Yunxiao very warily.

But Yan Yunxiao's fighting momentum and pressure on the battlefield are really not something that ordinary people can withstand.

The man's eyes dodge, he snorts from his nose, and then his eyes fall on Su Jiu'er.

Su Jiuer nodded slightly towards him and said friendly, "This is Xiaolan County? I wonder who you are, uncle?"

Then, before the man could answer, she stepped forward and introduced, "We were ordered to come to rescue and control the plague in Xiaolan County."

As soon as these words came out, the group of men surrounding them looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Su Jiuer, and then frowned and looked at the leading man.

The leading man seemed to have heard a joke that made him angry. He sighed and cursed loudly, "By order? Whose order? Don't think that I don't know that the officials in Tongzhou City have given up on us from Xiaolan County.

!”

"They want us to fend for ourselves. They want us all to die in Xiaolan County! Bah! They are all dog officials!"

This sentence caused a stir in the crowd.

The men around him didn't seem to be aroused by these words, and they started to curse.

"That's right! They are all dog officials! Our people are almost starving to death and no one cares about it! My mother-in-law is so hungry that she has no milk! The children can't even eat enough! This plague has been here for more than two months, and the county

Everyone is going to die!"

"Dog official! There is also a dog emperor! What are you saying about personally controlling the plague? Where are the people? There is not even a human figure! What they say is better than what they sing!"

Everyone was chattering, and curses came and went.

The faces of the people following the team froze, and then they all went to inquire about His Majesty's face, but made no other move.

After all, their master had stopped speaking, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Yunxiao's frown only deepened.

He was glad that he had finally made this trip in person. If he was really far away in the imperial capital to give advice, his reputation would probably be ruined by these useless officials under his command.

The anger and arrogance of everyone is so high at the moment. If they reveal their identity rashly, they may start a riot immediately.

Su Jiuer's thoughts were racing. She took a step forward and made a move to protect Yan Yunxiao behind her. Then she said to the leading man, "You should know better than us what Xiaolan County is like right now. We are here."

Is there any other plan?"
