Trouble came sooner than expected.

Early the next morning, Ruan Qingzhi, who was finally allowed to go out by Ye Han, had just walked downstairs when he bumped into the bitter and hateful face of the innkeeper.

"Miss Ruan!" The man squeezed a salutation out of his throat, paused for a moment, and then said in a rough voice: "If you have nothing to do, just stay in your room, and someone will bring you tea and food." Our shopkeeper said, you are a big man who can't be offended, even if the gang outside really burns down the inn, we don't dare to snub you! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned by his crackling call, and just as he didn't know how to answer, Ye Han had already turned back from outside, and shouted before he got close: "You don't dare to snub her, you only dare to hit her face to face!" ”

The man shrank for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his head: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" ”

"That's it," Ye Han glanced away at him, "since you don't believe in our identity, you don't have to pretend to believe it." If you have any grievances, just come at me, what kind of ability is it to bully girls! ”

"The little ones don't dare!" The guy hurriedly bowed down again to apologize, "The little one is just worried about Miss Ruan's safety, and he spoke more heavily, and there is really no malicious ......"

Ye Han didn't have the patience to listen to his defense, so he walked over quickly, pulled Ruan Qingzhi upstairs, turned upstairs, and dropped a sentence: "Go and call your shopkeeper, this king has something to say!" ”

The guy Wei Wei agreed and ran quickly, but Ruan Qingzhi stopped at the bottom of the stairs, grabbed the handrail and refused to go up: "Why do you want to go upstairs?" I finished reading all those books yesterday, didn't you promise to take me out today? ”

Ye Han hesitated for a moment and didn't answer, Ruan Qingzhi suddenly became anxious: "Didn't you change your hexagram again?" The night is cold, do you know that the epidemic is like a military situation, and a delay of one day may affect the lives of thousands of people......"

"I know," Ye Han sighed and clenched her hand, "but Qingzhi, the situation has changed, and we need to rearrange it." ”

As he was talking, the shopkeeper ran in from outside while wiping his sweat: "Your Highness...... Guest officer! This matter is so big that we can't resist coming to the inn...... This inn has been passed into the hands of the villain for the third generation, if they really let them burn it, how should the villain explain to his grandfather! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The people are still making noise about burning the inn?" ”

Ye Han sighed and pulled her to sit down in the empty hall: "At this moment, the outside of the inn is already full of firewood and grass, and someone has brought fire oil from home. They're not just talking, they're really going to burn us here! ”

When Banyue heard this, she immediately rushed down the stairs and was furious: "Those heartless dogs! In order to save them, the young lady read so many books overnight, and her eyes were swollen, and they didn't know how to be grateful, but they still wanted to take revenge! ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head and sighed: "The people are ignorant, and they have always been like this. They decided that I was a wicked, and of course they wanted to kill me to prevent future troubles. ”

The innkeeper who was about to speak heard the word "demon", and instinctively shrank back, sweating more on his forehead.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at Ye Han: "How many people are outside?" ”

Chu Weiyang was running back from outside, casually shouting: "More and more! When we first went out, there were only thirty or forty people hanging around, and now there are two or three hundred! At this point, the firewood and grass outside can almost reach the corner of the street, and it looks like they are planning to burn the whole street! ”

"Why don't you burn down the whole city, it's so much trouble!" Banyue sneered.

"This won't work!" Ruan Qingzhi looked at Ye Han and said, "There are too many people, even if the guards have three heads and six arms, they can't prevent it." We must come forward to appease, otherwise we don't know what kind of chaos is going to happen! ”

Ye Han answered, clasped her hand tightly, and looked at the innkeeper again: "So, I want to ask the shopkeeper to sell the inn to me." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment: "Guest officer...... Your Highness, aren't you leaving? ”

Ye Han shook his head: "Now that the whole city knows that this king is coming to the inn, how can I leave?" - Chu Weiyang, you immediately take the silver ticket to Shopkeeper Liu, and be sure to assist him in sending all the guys, family members and unrelated guests in the store away safely within half an hour! ”

"Okay!" Chu Weiyang agreed loudly, without the slightest hesitation.

On the contrary, the shopkeeper was a little hesitant: "Your Highness, do you really want them to burn down the inn......

Ye Han waved his hand and refused to say more to him, and instructed Banyue: "You and Xianyun each take a few guards to follow Shopkeeper Liu and them out, and go door to door to see if the other families on this street have moved away." ”

"Someone else?" The innkeeper was shocked, "Your Highness bought this entire street?" ”

Everyone was busy, and no one answered him.

Banyue also learned from Chu Weiyang's appearance and took the task without hesitation, and went to find Xieyun to go out together.

Ye Han finally looked at Ruan Qingzhi with a solemn expression: "There must be a tough battle to fight next, Qingzhi, you have to be ready." ”

"Let's go, then." Ruan Qingzhi was the first to stand up.

Ye Han went out with her all the way, and told her about today's situation in a few words.

It's not optimistic.

The epidemic spread faster than Nguyen had expected. In just one day, no less than ten people in various parts of the city had symptoms of itching all over the city, purple skin, and high fever. And that's not even counting those who hide their illness.

What's even worse is that some people in the city spread rumors at some point, saying that the reason why the epidemic is so rapid this time is because Miss Ruan, a demon, bewitched King Li, intending to go against the sky and usurp the throne of the emperor.

The saying "God's warning" is a panacea, and people are used here.

Ruan Qingzhi was angry when he heard similar statements, especially when a guard next to him couldn't help but interject, saying that the identity of "His Royal Highness King Li" couldn't be suppressed now, because there were rumors in the city that King Li killed too heavily when he guarded the northwest, and thousands of unjust souls were brought to Yangcheng by him, becoming the best food for the "Grandpa of the Plague God".

Some people even said that the last time King Li was ambushed in Luoyun Mountain, he should have died, because His Royal Highness King Rui is the true dragon emperor. If the true dragon lets King Li die but he doesn't die, then it is called disobeying the will of heaven, and it is called being righteous and not suppressing evil.

……

In short, at this moment, there are thousands of rumors in the city, all of which say that King Li and Miss Ruan deserve to die.

Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that he smoked.

Saying that she deserved to die, she endured it, after all, she also knew that she really didn't have a good life in this life.

But those idiots actually said that the night cold should be damned!

A prince who should have enjoyed his wealth and wealth has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a teenager, enduring the bitter cold of the border pass and the desert wind and sand, desperately saving this territory and the lives of these people, is it just to hear people say "damn"?

These people deserve to die!

The more Ruan Qingzhi thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally when he was about to reach the gate, he suddenly stood still and refused to go any further.

Ye Han was dragged by her and paused, and turned around in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head and did not answer.

Ye Han looked at her face, stretched out his arm and hugged her hard, and sighed, "Don't blame them." Qingzhi, when people are in extreme fear and despair, they always have to resent something in order to live. It is better to make them resent you and me than to watch them go mad with fear. ”

Ruan Qingzhi has never experienced a time of true fear and despair, so I don't know if what he said is true.

But she didn't think the truth of the night cold was quite right.

There is no reason for her to bear the hatred at the same time, but also to tolerate the people who hate her and work hard for the people who hate her.

She is not a bodhisattva.

Because of a little resentment in his heart, this time when Ruan Qingzhi stood on the gatehouse, his face was very unkind.

The people who were busy setting up firewood and pouring fire oil on firewood and grass outside the door noticed her and Ye Han's figures, and instantly stopped their movements and rushed over.

Someone waved the torch in his hand and shouted at the top of his voice: "Demon! Why aren't you dead yet! ”

Countless people shouted after him:

"Burn them! Burn them! ”

"They are the ones who brought the plague to Yangcheng! Burn them to death, and the plague god will be able to spare Yangcheng! ”

"What nonsense are you talking to them? Ignition! ”

……

The people were in confusion again, and the guards, who had been busy all morning, did not even have time to wipe their sweat, but immediately rushed forward again to build a human wall to block the men with torches.

The crowd collided, and the cries of pain came and went.

Ruan Qingzhi saw that he was even more angry, and shouted to the crowd: "Qin guards, don't stop them, let them light the fire!" ”

The guards hesitated to stop, but they did not dare to let their guard down, and looked back at her suspiciously.

The frenzied people did not make any further move, and each of them followed with torches.

Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "Isn't it going to be burned?" Burn! You should burn Yangcheng to the ground, and see if your plague god grandfather is willing to let you go! ”

A shrill female voice among the people shouted: "Burn you to death, of course Grandpa Plague God will let us go!" ”

"Fart!" Ruan Qingzhi spat down mockingly, "If you burn me to death, then you will become a murderer!" Why did the plague god let the murderer go? And according to you, I am a profound demon, where do you have the ability to burn me to death? Besides, even if I die, my unjust soul can still collude with the plague god! I hate you, and I will get the plague god to eat all your people in the city! ”

When the people heard this, they were furious, and after an uproar, many people shouted in unison: "You are indeed a demon! So it's not wrong for us to kill you! Ignition! ”

The guards raised their vigilance again, but Ruan Qingzhi only stood on the gatehouse and sneered: "Click, click!" Whoever doesn't dare to order is a bear! Just burn me! Anyway, only I can cure the plague, and when I die, you don't want to go down to the underworld to accompany me! ”

When the people saw her arrogance, their hearts became more and more resentful, and a few of them were anxious to hear "whoever doesn't order is a bear", and they couldn't hold it back, and threw the torch in their hands far away.

The firewood and grass poured with fire oil ignited at a moment's notice, and the flames instantly rose more than two feet high.

At the same time, a stunned voice rang out in the crowd: "What did she say? She said she could cure the plague? ”

Someone laughed sarcastically.

The plague may be cured by someone, but is that kind of rotten sore, an ordinary plague?

Besides, so many old doctors are helpless, and she, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old delicate lady, dares to say that she can cure the plague? What about dreaming?

The people laughed loudly and expressed their disdain, but a few people still hesitated and asked each other: "Some people say that Miss Ruan once saved people's lives, I don't know if it's true?" ”

The people downstairs were full of voices, but Ruan Qingzhi's eyes accurately locked on the few whisperers, and his expression was cold: "I can indeed save it, but so what?" I don't save! I'm tired of it! I choose to die with you! ”

Ye Han smiled, clenched her hand, and said aloud to the bottom of the gatehouse: "Miss Ruan is not lying, she is indeed a skilled doctor and can cure the plague!" You may not know that the old lady of the Ruan family was once poisoned and died, but she relied on the prescription prescribed by Miss Ruan to save her life; The young lady of the Liu family of An Guogong also fell into the water after being poisoned, and the imperial doctors said that the person had lost his breath, and it was also Miss Ruan who rescued her. The Empress Dowager in the palace is convinced of Miss Ruan's medical skills, where do you have the confidence to question her?! ”

His voice was clear and his tone was firm, and many of the people were moved to hear it, and they rushed forward to ask in a disorderly manner:

"Is Your Highness serious? You didn't lie to us, did you? ”

"Miss Ruan is so young, how good can her medical skills be? Didn't they all say that the plague couldn't even be cured by the imperial doctor......"

"Miss Ruan, can you really cure the plague?"

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the eager expressions of those people, and his heart was doubly bored, and he couldn't help but sneer: "What about my young age? Mr. Maoquan, who went to Beijing before, also said that I couldn't draw good paintings at a young age, and then I didn't carve a seal and say good things and took the initiative to make friends with me! I have long said that I am a true phoenix, an immortal, not an ordinary person, who do you just refuse to believe? ”

"So," the people downstairs were in an uproar, "you can really cure the plague, aren't you a lie?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi took a sip again: "Say it ten thousand times!" I can cure it, but I don't want to cure it! Burn me! ”

"How can this work?" The people suddenly panicked, and immediately some of them were busy fighting the fire.

The group that set the fire earlier had not yet come to their senses, and when they saw that their companions were bewitched by the "demons", they were immediately furious, and the two sides quickly tore together.

Ruan Qingzhi stood on the gatehouse and looked at them coldly, not feeling pitiful for them.

But Ye Han looked nervous and couldn't stop sighing.

The fire burned very quickly, and soon spread to the bottom of the gatehouse, and the people suddenly became even more panicked, and many people rushed over and raised their heads and shouted: "Your Highness, come down quickly!" Miss Nguyen...... Come down! It's too late for a while! ”

"I won't go down, I'm a demon!" Ruan Qingzhi kicked the tiles under his feet and said sullenly.

Ye Han hurriedly and carefully supported her, whispered a few words of persuasion, and then lowered his head to the crowd: "She is a child with a temperament, and I am afraid it is not so easy to coax when she is angry, but it is true that I am worried about you in my heart." From today onwards, the street of the Laigui Inn is the medical hall where Miss Ruan treats the sick and saves people, and the king will ask the government to move the patient here, and the government will be responsible for all the food, medicine, clothing, bedding and other things, and the patient will be escorted home after he gets better, so don't come here to walk around if you have nothing to do. ”

The people were stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

This is the beginning of the arrangement to cure the sick and save people? In other words, did these two men really intend to heal the plague? Not a blindman?

The guards outside the wall taunted while fighting the fire: "The people of Yangcheng are all fools? was fanned by others and pouted a few words, and he really believed that His Royal Highness and Miss Ruan were demons...... They also don't want to think about it, with the ability of our Highness, leaving Yangcheng is not a matter of words? Why didn't they stay here and not leave, it wasn't to protect them idiots! ”

When the people of Yangcheng next to them heard this, they immediately felt that their faces were hot.

On second thought, it seems that this is indeed the case......

More and more people are joining the firefighting team. Among them, maybe not everyone believes that Ruan Qingzhi can cure the disease, but now it is a predicament with no way out, even if there is one in ten thousand hopes, they will not let it go.

A quarter of an hour later, the fire had been extinguished. Except for a section of the courtyard wall that burned down, there was not much damage.

I don't know who took the lead, many people rushed forward and knelt under the gatehouse, shouting in unison, "Miss Ruan, help, His Royal Highness King Li, help."

If it had been before today, Ruan Qingzhi might have been moved by this. But at this moment, she only felt that these people in front of her were so hypocritical, and there was no reason to save them.

Ye Han originally wanted to persuade her, but after thinking about it, she felt that her mentality of staying out of the matter seemed to be good, so she didn't say much.

So the next day was still from Ye Han to explain the plan to deal with the plague to everyone, and the people listened carefully, and then they were convinced that Ye Han was not just talking.

He had thought it through, and it was obvious that he had thought carefully beforehand, and he was indeed going to solve the plague and save the people of the next city.

This is, to save the suffering!

The people were immediately moved and wept bitterly.

Of course, it is not that no one has raised doubts: seeing that the plague is about to sweep through the city, will Miss Ruan be busy alone at that time? Even if she knows how to heal, where does the medicine come from? If the patient's family refuses to come with him, who will take care of the patient?

Ruan Qingzhi had already made up his mind to be a bad person, and he didn't hesitate at all when he heard this: "The patient only had sores at the beginning of the illness, and he was not disabled, so why can't he take care of himself and take care of each other?" What is squeamish at the moment of life and death? As for medicine, from today onwards, I will requisition all the doctors in all the medical halls in Yangcheng and all the medicines in the medicine halls! If there is anyone who refuses to do so, just hand over your head to me! ”

"This ......" the people looked at each other, and then made a loud noise.

This little girl used to be a robber, right?

Expropriation? If you don't give it, you will have your head cut off? I'm afraid that the robbers in these years are not as arrogant as her!

When everyone complained about it, Ruan Qingzhi continued coldly: "Not only medicine, but also food and cloth, no matter what is missing, I will requisition it from the people at any time." You'd better not mess with me behind my back, or I'll kill someone!" ”

"Why are you?!" Someone cried out unconvinced.

Ruan Qingzhi's expression was cold: "Of course, I can save your lives!" You'd better settle your accounts: if this plague is not cured, Yangcheng will only be burned down by a fire, and there will not be even a single brick left! Do you keep the medicinal herbs and food for me to use, and are you going to take them to the underworld to use? ”

The truth seems to be true, but everyone still feels uncomfortable in their hearts, as if they are facing a robber who burns and loots, and if they don't scold a few words, they really can't show their righteousness.

Then someone asked in a loud voice, "What if it is cured?" ”

"Cured?" Ruan Qingzhi seemed to hear strange words, "If it is cured, I will be the life-saving benefactor of the people of your whole city, and your lives are mine, how can I still have the face to settle the accounts of food and medicinal materials with me?" Don't you Yangcheng people have a conscience in your chest? ”

This is becoming more and more outrageous. The people buzzed and talked for a while, but no one shouted loudly.

They each made a calculation in their hearts, and finally found that it was indeed their lives that mattered most.

And so the matter was happily decided.

Ye Han instructed the guards to go separately to find the officials and the doctors in the city, and then ordered the people to "disperse", and then jumped down the gatehouse with Ruan Qingzhi in his arms and went straight back to the room.

The anger on Ruan Qingzhi's face has not yet disappeared.

Ye Han raised his hand and rubbed her face, and his eyebrows curved to show her a smile: "Miss Ruan's majesty today is really good, and the people of Quanyang City have been suppressed by you!" You just see that they are obedient in the end, don't get angry, okay? ”

Ruan Qingzhi was amused by him, and then sighed: "Who wants to be really angry with them?" People are ignorant and cold, and it's not the first time I've seen it! ”

"It's still angry talking." Ye Han looked at her and commented.

Ruan Qingzhi avoided his gaze and stared at the desktop: "I don't know people's hearts very well, there are big things pressing down at this time, so there is no reason to spend time to appease them, it is better to be ruthless and neat." ”

"Yes," Ye Han smiled, "You can save at least hundreds of thousands of silver for your ruthlessness." I said earlier that all the medicinal herbs and diets will be borne by us, but it's good for you, and you will directly requisition it from the people as soon as the conversation changes! Now you don't know if you are a demon, this 'robber' charge is confirmed! ”

"A robber is a robber!" Ruan Qingzhi grinned at him, "Anyway, if I don't have good medical skills and cure them to death, the news won't reach outside Yangcheng, who can know that I am a robber!" ”

Ye Han's expression darkened: "If it can't be cured, let's ......"

"I'm just humble, are you serious?" Ruan Qingzhi stared at him with round eyes, "With me out of the horse, how can it not be cured!" This time the plague is clearly an opportunity given to us by God to turn things around and rewrite our lives! ”

Ye Han lowered his eyes and sighed, did not answer her words, just squeezed her hand heavily.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and it was the official of the government who sent the patient over.

The reason why they move so quickly is not because of trust, but because they finally have the opportunity to throw away the responsibility and danger from others.

Of course, it is also possible that because their master's conspiracy has finally succeeded, they can more smoothly push certain charges to the designated person.

Those people's careful thoughts, Ruan Qingzhi didn't have time to pay attention. Hearing that the patient was coming, she didn't bother to talk to Ye Han, found a cloth and wrapped her head and face casually, and then rushed out quickly.
