Chapter 227: Just Give Up?

once applauded Min's case, "I'll go with you."

Shen Ling didn't stop her, no matter what she went out to do these days, Zeng Weimin would follow her, regardless of her wishes.

Bringing the masks, alcohol, and some things that can prevent the plague that have been researched in recent days, Shen Ling went to the City Lord's Mansion with Zeng Weimin.

There are two stone lions in front of the door of the City Lord's Mansion, which look quite magnificent.

Shen Ling stepped forward and knocked the knocker, and it took a while for a little guy to come and open the door.

He only opened the crack in the door, and looked at Shen Ling and Zeng Weimin vigilantly through the gap.

He once said to Min bluntly, "We are here to find the city lord."

"The lord of the city said that he would not see any guest." As he spoke, the little servant was about to close the door.

Seeing this, Zeng Wei Min put one hand on the crack of the door and forcefully stopped the little guy from closing the door.

He was originally displeased with the little girl's attitude, and he couldn't bear it anymore at this time.

"You haven't even informed the city lord and refused us like this, is this the hospitality of the city lord's mansion?"

The vigilance in the little guy's eyes is still not gone, but a little embarrassment and distress are added.

"It's not that the villain didn't report it, it's that many people have come to the city lord before, but the city lord has not received him, and the city lord also said that he will not see anyone until the plague is over."

Zeng Wei Min and Shen Ling glanced at each other, and vaguely noticed that this city lord did not care about the people who were suffering from the plague.

He frowned and persuaded him with good words, "We have worked out a way to prevent the plague, you go and inform the city lord and let us in."

Although the little guy was happy that the two people in front of him had researched a way to prevent the plague, he did not dare to disobey his master's orders.

"This gentleman, don't be embarrassed about the little one, the little one was beaten last time because of the things reported."

Shen Ling listened clearly, and saw that since it was useless to reason, it was necessary to use strong means to solve it.

She pretended to be angry, "I'm the county lord, you even have to stop the county lord, don't you want to die?"

The highest status that the little guy contacts on weekdays is the city lord, where have I seen the county lord.

Hearing Shen Ling say this, his frightened knees fell to the ground as soon as his knees became weak.

He begged for mercy again and again, "The villain doesn't dare! Ask the lord of the county to go around the villain."

Because the little guy was kneeling on the ground, the door had no resistance, Shen Ling stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door was pushed open.

"Get up," Shen Ling said as she walked towards the door, seeing that the little girl was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to speak, she swept her eyes coldly, "Why don't you go and inform your city lord?" Do you kneel here and wait for punishment?"

"Yes, yes, the villain will go." The little guy propped himself on the ground with his hands and got up at once.

Shen Ling's side was taken to the place where the guests were greeted by the discerning subordinates, and they were offered good tea.

After the little guy left, he immediately went to see the city lord.

"Master, there is ...... A man who claimed to be the lord of the county came to the house and said he wanted to see you." The little servant lowered his head and spoke much softer, for fear that his voice would be loud and provoke the anger of the city lord.

The city lord was shocked, and he angrily rebuked, "Didn't this city lord say not to let you in! How do you guard the gate?"

"Yes...... She was the one who broke in......" The little guy was yelled at by the city lord and spoke quieter, his head lowered, his chin pressed against his body, and his back bent.

The city lord was upset when he saw him like this, and waved his sleeves fiercely.

"Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson when the city lord comes back!"

As soon as the words fell, the lord of the city went to the hall where the guests were entertained.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Shen Ling holding a tea cup and drinking tea gracefully.

The city lord restrained his anger a little, but his tone was still very unkind, he looked at the two of them, and said irritably, "What are you looking for this city lord?"

I once came to see people for Min, and took out the masks and alcohol and other epidemic prevention things I brought.

"Lord, please see."

The city lord glanced at the mask on top and frowned, "What does a rag look like

of?"..

Seeing that the city lord had misunderstood, Zeng quickly explained for Min, "This is not a rag, this is a good thing that can prevent the plague."

The city lord became interested, "How to prevent the plague? Tell the lord of the city in detail."

Zeng Wei Min picked up the mask and began to explain to the city lord, and then took out alcohol and some other things made by Shen Ling.

After listening to Zeng Weimin's explanation, the city lord's complexion was much soothed, and he put one hand on the general's belly and laughed.

Yes, yes, it's a good thing." As he spoke, the city lord also brought all the things.

Even the mask that he disliked at first and said was a rag, but he was careful to carry it in his arms.

Shen Ling raised his eyebrows, taking in the small movements of the city lord.

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Shen Ling spoke, "Good things have to be shared with everyone, city lord, do you say yes?"

The city lord had a loud alarm bell in his heart, and he laughed twice, wanting to pretend to be confused.

"I don't know what the county lord means by that?"

Shen Ling didn't let him be fooled, she said bluntly: "Literally, now that the plague in the city is serious, if the city lord can come forward and borrow the things I have developed to cooperate with me in preventing the epidemic, I dare to guarantee that the situation of the disease will ease a lot."

The city lord's face became darker and darker as Shen Ling's words grew, and he refused, "This city lord will never come forward!"

Zeng Wei Min's eyebrows furrowed, "Only when there are people can there be a city, does the city lord have to watch the people suffer from the plague?"

"The plague has been around for so long, the imperial court has not sent anyone down, and the doctors in the city have no solution, if the city lord comes forward to get the plague, those untouchables will not be enough to compensate for a few lives! Now the lord of this city only wants to be in the mansion with his wife and children, and he doesn't want to go anywhere."

Seeing that the city lord was so afraid of the plague, he was anxious for Min, "As long as the epidemic prevention is reasonable according to the county lord's method, the plague can be controlled, and the city lord is not required to contact the people, but just let the city lord cooperate with us to issue orders."

But the city lord was resolute, he shook his head and refused, "You guys go, this city lord will not agree to you."

Shen Ling frowned, "City Lord......

"Don't call this city lord," the city lord beckoned to the guards in the palace as if he had been bitten by a snake and scorpion, "Come on, drive them out to this city lord!"

Shen Ling was reluctant to do anything to the innocent guards, so he was pushed and driven out with Zeng Weimin and the others.

The gate slammed shut in front of the two of them, and some of the epidemic prevention items that had been brought for Min before were all swallowed by the city lord, and none of them were returned.

He was full of grief and indignation for Min, "It's really bitter for the people in the city, to be such a city lord who only cares about his own life and death."

Looking at the closed door, Shen Ling already had a plan in her heart, and she turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zeng Wei Min followed a few steps, putting on an expression of hatred that iron does not become steel.

"County Lord, did you just give up?"
