The concubine in the medicine pot is charming again, and the sick and tyrant obediently confesses 296 My palace is ready, please let the leeks come here!
296 My palace is ready, please let the leeks come here!
Waves of shouts and curses were heard outside the city. The family members gathered together in twos and threes, eager to get an explanation from the government.
Because the government promised gold, but it still has not been fulfilled until today, three days later.
Many of them are looking forward to it day by day, waiting for the gold to eat and drink well or go out and squander.
So everyone discussed it together and decided to go directly to the city to make trouble, forcing the government to give them the money quickly.
The patients in the city seemed to have heard the shouts outside the city. Those with mild symptoms who could still walk poked their heads out of the house, while those who could only lie down opened their eyes and listened carefully with their own ears.
But miraculously, unlike the chaos in front of the city gate, not a single patient in the city made any noise or even ran out.
Because after three days in the city, many of them really felt the changes in their bodies...
From lying hopelessly in bed waiting to die, worrying from time to time whether he would infect his family and whether he would be rejected by his family, gradually there was light in front of his eyes and there was hope for recovery.
And some people feel that staying in this miserable city, joking and chatting with other patients every day, seems to be more relaxing and enjoyable than returning to that home.
Instead of going back and being rejected, beaten, and driven away, it is better to stay here and get good treatment.
And it was precisely these people who heard the most familiar voices among the cries of trouble.
Because those who beat, drive away, and despise them are precisely the ones who want gold the most.
"Give us gold! Give us gold!"
"Open the city gate and let my old man out!"
"If you don't give me the gold, we'll rush in and find them now!"
…
Under the call of the mountain, Xiao Xiruo rejected all those who wanted to help her speak out and steal her reputation, and climbed onto the tower with her cheap brother Xiao Yi.
At that moment, I don't know how many people were shouting "Demon Concubine" and giving her a steady stream of negative emotions.
The feeling of being open to all rivers made Xiao Xiruo, who was crazy about poverty, obsessed with it.
So she quickly coughed twice, randomly named a strong man who was standing at the front of the crowd and kept shouting happily:
"Tell me, if I don't have gold, what will you do?"
how?
The strong man's eyes widened for a moment. No matter how shameless he was, he was so shameless by this empress at this moment.
"No gold?"
he shouted in disbelief.
At this moment, he was the mouthpiece of everyone below.
"Yes, there is no gold anymore. The gold has been used to treat your family members. After all, one gold is not enough to cure them~"
Xiao Xiruo nodded with a smile, as if he was about to say something in the next second, "I still want to ask you for gold."
However, her words obviously offended the public, and the man even pointed at her nose and said:
"Liar, you witch concubine is a liar! You deceived my wife into the house first and then didn't give me any gold. Can you tell me, is this justified?"
As soon as he said this, there was a roar of agreement from behind.
However, their insults and angry looks in front of Xiao Xiruo only contained two words - valuable.
Therefore, not only did Xiao Xiruo not have the headache and anxiety of those officials, but she held her chin in one hand and just listened to their scoldings quietly.
At first, these people were scolding him happily, but when they discovered that Xiao Xiruo didn't respond at all, their initial arrogance gradually subsided.
Because scolding people can't solve any problems, then the demon concubine won't give it anyway.
As for the violent collision...
Looking at the Beiliang cavalry guarding the gate of the city, they still felt a little guilty.
But soon, Xiao Xiruo personally solved this problem of guilty conscience for them.
"So if there is no gold, do you want to take your family out of Zhuren City?"
When Xiao Xiruo asked, the busybodies below immediately replied:
"Yes! If you don't give us gold, then you will return the patients to us!"
They thought that their request would force Xiao Xiruo, because the government clearly wanted to control the plague. If they took away the patients, it would be difficult for the government to carry out follow-up work.
And why do they want to take people away?
Because the demon concubine and the government lied to them, and they are the victims anyway, this request is reasonable no matter where it is placed!
However, what they didn't expect was that their request was not blocked by Xiao Xiruo at all.
Xiao Xiruo glanced sideways and winked at her brother. Immediately, soldiers opened the city gate from inside. A group of cavalry lined up in front of the city gate, seemingly waiting for something quietly.
The mob couldn't understand, until Xiao Xiruo said leisurely:
"Okay, if you want to take the patient away, then go to the city in groups of ten to find someone. As long as the patient is willing to go with you, I will never stop him."
Looking back at the man, Xiao Xiruo added in an indifferent tone:
"Of course, the first ten people have to come out, and then the last ten can go in. After all, I don't want too many people to flood in at once and disrupt the order of this city. Okay, let's start the registration now.
Ten people go in first?"
Go in?
What are you going in for?
Does this person actually want them to go in and look for him?
Seeing the suddenly opened city gate and the Beiliang cavalry lined up to investigate them, the busybodies who had been shouting happily before instantly became silent.
The city in front of us was originally called Pingkang City. It was the place where the epidemic first broke out in Su County and where the most people died.
Before this place was classified as a city of people, the city was already full of corpses everywhere, so let alone ten people entering, they felt a sinister wind just looking at the city gate, and they couldn't help it.
Tremble.
"Oh, by the way, if you are also infected with the epidemic after entering, I will detain you. Because you are not among the first batch of people who voluntarily entered the city, and you do not have the privilege to leave~"
Xiao Xiruo didn't mind lighting the fire if she saw the excitement, but she didn't want to show off her face for a long time.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the faces of those good people turned pale again.
Who doesn’t know that there are people infected with the epidemic?
Let alone people, I'm afraid the water and soil are poisonous...
So if they go in, can they come out fine? Don't let their family members fail to come back by then, and they have to go in too!
And how many of these people who can come to make trouble really care about the patients?
I had wanted to exchange my family for gold before, so how could I risk going to the city now?
So everyone pushed me and I pushed you, and finally a team of warriors was picked and picked together, with a total of only seven people.
Among them were an old man, a half-grown boy, and a pregnant woman...
They really care about their families, they are not just looking for gold, they just want to go to the city to see their families.
"Is there anything else? I won't wait until it expires."
Xiao Xiruo looked around and saw no other people who wanted to go in.
So Xiao Xiruo not only sent someone to take the warriors to meet their families, but also gave them one gold after their family members refused to leave the city and said they wanted to recuperate here.
As for those people in the city who were asking frantically why or if they could be given another chance, Xiao Xiruo only said two words:
