The mayor frowned and glanced at the two of them several times, seeming very hesitant.
Xie Songhua didn't urge him, just stood in front of him and waited quietly.
After a long time, I heard the mayor's voice with a hint of sadness, "The street you just walked on, every house is full of patients."
The expression on Xie Songhua's face immediately froze, "You mean..."
The mayor said displeasedly: "Since you said you came to see a doctor, you should treat the patients in the town honestly. If you want to find out something from me, I advise you to give up."
Xie Songhua said quickly: "Please believe me, I have no intention of prying into your details. I can go to see them right now."
There is just one thing. I hope the mayor can understand that I can come alone to see a doctor, but I cannot make medicine, take care of patients, and carry out disinfection work everywhere. So this requires the mayor to come.
The leader coordinates and dispatches and allocates some people to me, and these people must follow my arrangements."
"How is this possible?" The mayor sneered when he heard this, "If you hadn't said you could treat us patients well, do you think you could still be standing here safe and sound? You still want to point fingers at our people, let alone you.
, even I can’t open my mouth like this.”
When Xie Songhua heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
If she had to do everything by herself, then there would be no need to treat the disease, and it would drag someone to death.
"She sincerely wants to treat you, but you don't sincerely want to live." Since Xiao Yu took on the role of scholar, he behaved very harmlessly. He almost didn't speak and even walked silently behind Xie Songhua.
.
I'm afraid the mayor doesn't remember anything about him except his face.
Therefore, the mayor was stunned by this opening.
Xiao Yu walked up from behind, with a serious look on his face, "I guess you are not the original mayor of Dapan Town, right?"
The other party did not answer, but looked at him with alert and nervous eyes.
This is already an answer.
"It seems that the original mayor is dead," Xiao Yu continued, thinking to himself, "That's right, although the mayor is not a big official, he still gets a salary from the government, so I'm afraid he won't be able to assemble the entire town's manpower to do this.
A move against the imperial court."
"Hmph!" The mayor snorted coldly when he heard this, "That coward Cai Yong, we have all been bullied to death. He reported it to the state government several times but there was no news at all. He was even found guilty and imprisoned.
After getting up and beating him up, he even thought about writing a letter to the provincial capital.
The world is as black as crows, and the imperial court has always been protected by officials. How can someone seek justice for us? If he continues to beg for mercy and waits for someone from the imperial court to redress our grievances, I am afraid that none of us in Dapan Town will be victorious!"
Mentioning the previous mayor, the mayor in front of me was so indignant that he almost rolled up his sleeves and cursed.
"So, do you think that if you lead the people in Dapan Town to cause trouble, you can help Dapan Town get out of trouble?"
This sentence made the mayor speechless. He was silent for two breaths and then said coldly: "This is better than just waiting to be killed one by one."
"Then do you think these people can survive if they resist to the end?" Xiao Yu asked back, "From what you said, it sounds like you haven't even thought clearly about what your purpose is.
Now that you are in such a posture of confronting the imperial court, in the end, there are only two results. One is to reach a reconciliation with the imperial court..."
"This is impossible!" The mayor immediately retorted loudly after hearing this.
There was no anger on Xiao Yu's face at all, and he just said calmly: "Then it seems that it is the second type. If you cannot reach reconciliation with the court, you will rebel, or... uprising?"
When he said this, the mayor immediately panicked and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense here. When did we ever say such things?"
"The imperial court is the imperial court of the people of the world. All armed forces in the entire Daqi territory should be the forces of the imperial court. If there are armed forces besides the regular army of the imperial court, they are rebels. If such armed forces have no relationship with the imperial court,
Troops clashed..."
He paused, "Do you know what this is called?"
His voice was neither fast nor slow, speaking slowly, like a teacher patiently guiding students to learn.
But in such a gentle voice, there is a power that points directly to people's hearts.
The mayor's breathing became rapid. What was Xiao Yu's unsaid words? At this point, could it still be unclear?
Looking at the face in front of him that seemed to be a stranger from the human world, the mayor suddenly became angry and said, "Don't be alarmist here. The two of you are allowed to come in to treat our people here, not to talk nonsense. If your purpose
If you are impure, don’t blame us for being rude!"
Xie Songhua hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, mayor. He is a scholar and is familiar with Daqi's laws, so he said these words. He just wanted to give the mayor a heads-up. There is no other reason.
meaning."
After saying that, she glared at Xiao Yu, then turned and said warmly: "Now that such a disaster has happened, anyone with a bloody heart will fight to the death. Everyone in your town is so united now, they are obviously forced into this.
We outsiders, no matter how sympathetic we are, are not qualified to judge your behavior. He can’t speak, so don’t be angry."
Her words made the mayor's face look a little better, and he snorted coldly at Xiao Yu and turned away from him, which seemed to indicate that he didn't have the same experience as him.
Xie Songhua quickly added: "However, one thing he said is right. No matter what you do, you must have a head. Let's not talk about the conflict with the court at the moment. After all, it is not my responsibility.
Simply speaking, the current epidemic is dragging on day by day, and more and more people are dying. When you see that almost all the family members are dead, how long can those who are not sick and who share the same hatred with the mayor survive?
"
The mayor did not speak, but Xie Songhua saw a bit of worry in his evasive eyes, so she continued, "Most of the townspeople in Dapan Town are simple and honest farmers. After all, for many generations, they have been guarding a few people."
Living a life on a piece of land, what is the purpose of this hard work all year round? Is it not for the sake of your wife, children, and children? If these people cannot bear it one by one, can they really continue to bear it? "
Seeing the other party's frown getting tighter, Xie Songhua stopped talking and just stood aside quietly waiting.
The other party didn't think about it for long. He quickly recovered his emotions and returned to his normal attitude. He asked coldly: "What do you want to say?"
"Just now my husband said that you are risking the disapproval of the world, and in this fight with the imperial court, you, the mayor, are the leader. I know that you are willing to take such a big risk for the sake of the villagers.
But if these people you are guarding give up first, wouldn’t you be a human being inside and out?”
Sweat began to appear on the mayor's forehead, but his face remained calm, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Stabilize the hearts of the people!" Xie Songhua said four words softly, "Never mind the things outside, Mayor, the most important thing for you right now is to stabilize the hearts of all the people in Dapan Town, and the key to this is the epidemic.
