Chapter 104: Not a Beautiful Waste (Second Update)
The man's several questions, the tone was heavier than the other, and the volume was louder than the other.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him echoed loudly: "Yes, Mrs. Yu Xiang, please go back!" β
"What's the use of Mrs. Yu Xiang coming here?! Can Mrs. Yu Xiang really save us? No kidding! β
"If it weren't for Yu Xiang, we wouldn't be ...... Hmmm! β
A few emotional people were almost about to say that all this was Yu Xiang's fault, but the people beside him quickly covered their mouths, and they could only stare at Shen Qing fiercely with a pair of sharp eyes.
Although they didn't dare to do anything to her because of Shen Qing's identity, the overflowing hatred and anger could be felt even by fools.
That rumor has apparently spread here!
Shen Qing frowned slightly, and before she could say anything, Sister-in-law Jiang broke free from the support of the guards, and stepped forward a little anxiously: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, how can you say that!" Yu Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang came here regardless of their own safety, but also because they were worried about us ordinary people and wanted to do something for us!
Besides, who saved us from the worst ten years ago? Yu Xiang is a person who genuinely cares about our people! Have you all forgotten that?! β
Those resentful people didn't expect that ordinary people like them would stand up and speak to Yu Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang!
Hearing Sister-in-law Jiang mention the incident ten years ago, several people's eyes flashed, obviously they were angry, they completely forgot what happened ten years ago.
It was only soon that an old woman screamed: "Even if Yu Xiang saved us ten years ago!" This epidemic is so bad, it is obviously a punishment from God! This is all because Yu Xiang is not greedy enough to swallow the elephant, and he wants to go beyond the saint to control the government, and God will punish him!
Both of my sons died in this pandemic, dead! There is only a group of us left, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, if Yu Xiang really cares about us people, he should quit the court immediately! β
Seeing that the old woman had said what they had just said that they had not dared to say, the others had no worries, and responded one after anotherβ
"That's right! We also believed in Yu Xiang very much! It's just that this time the epidemic, what did Yu Xiang and the imperial court do? Nothing was done! Bitter...... It's just us people who suffer! β
"No, the people in the court kept saying that they had done what they had to do, but was the epidemic under control? Are fewer people getting sick? Are fewer people dead? Doesn't this just mean that this is God's punishment! β
"If Yu Xiang really cares about us ordinary people, why don't you take the initiative to withdraw from the court and appease the wrath of heaven! This is really good for our people! β
Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more angry, Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't help but take a step back with some uneasiness, but because of her weak body, she almost fell.
Shen Qing, who was standing behind her, hurriedly helped her, and Sister-in-law Jiang looked up at her with some surprise, but saw that Shen Qing didn't look at her, only looked straight at the people in front of her, and said in an indifferent voice: "Ten years ago, when Yu Xiang and Lord Xiao Shen rescued Daqi from the dire situation, everyone said that Yu Xiang and Lord Xiao Shen were like divine help.
At this time, he said that this was God's punishment for Yu Xiang. β
Shen Qing said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised a mocking arc, and said, "So, is God on Yu Xiang's side, or is he the enemy of Yu Xiang?" β
It seemed that they didn't expect Mrs. Yu Xiang to say this, everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon, someone said angrily: "Ten years ago, Yu Xiang and Lord Xiao Shen were helping the Holy Lord to calm the turmoil in Daqi, and the Holy Lord was the son of heaven, and at that time, God would naturally look towards Yu Xiang!" β
"Really?"
Shen Qing sneered, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "But now, Yu Xiang has not replaced the Great Qi royal family!" Is Yu Xiang different from ten years ago, who solves all kinds of problems every day?
Ten years ago, what was Daqi like? The devastation was devastating, the people were devastated, there were vagrants and beggars, robbers and tyrants everywhere.
What about today? The situation in various prefectures and towns in Daqi is getting better and better, and the people have also taken back their own fields, and they can finally live and work in peace and contentment, recuperate, and various industries can finally develop steadily.
Yu Xiang is still the same Yu Xiang, and what he did was still ten years ago, isn't it?! β
All the people were stunned.
Yes, it is rumored that Yu Xiang controls the government, forms a party for personal gain, and tries in vain to embezzle the Great Qi country, but what they see is clearly not like that.
Yu Xiang has been working hard to rebuild Daqi all these years, how can there be any private appearance! On the contrary, Daqi is visibly getting better and better!
As for the embezzlement of the Great Qi River, Yu Xiang has no sign of that at all now! What's more, Yu Xiang wants to embezzle, why didn't he do it ten years ago, he has to wait until now to do it!
Seeing that the people didn't know how to refute, Shen Qing only straightened his waist, smiled faintly, and said coldly word by word: "Whether this epidemic is God's punishment or whether there is another reason, no one knows yet."
And I'm here to find out all this. β
Looking at the beautiful and delicate woman in front of her, but with firm and powerful eyes, said this indifferently, everyone present felt that their hearts shook slightly.
The woman in front of them was just a woman who seemed to be powerless, but they felt for no reason that she was a god who had come down from the sky to save them.
She obviously never promised to save them, but just seeing her, their hearts involuntarily calmed down, and they inexplicably felt that she would definitely help them.
She must have come to help them!
This indescribable wonderful feeling shocked even them.
Sister-in-law Jiang, who was still being supported by Shen Qing, kept looking sideways at the woman beside her, and was so admired that she was completely speechless.
It's really Mrs. Yu Xiang!
The guards on the side, who had been waiting for the battle, saw that Shen Qing had turned the situation around so easily, and by the way, the people suspected the rumor, and they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Shen Qing's eyes were shocked and incredulous.
Who said Mrs. Yu Xiang was just a beautiful waste?
This is clearly very capable!
Just when the originally tense scene finally began to relax, a soft and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded, "You guys...... What are you doing? You're all still sick people, how can you run around like this! β
As the voice sounded, a woman of sixteen or seventeen years of age, with a beautiful face and plainly dressed, ran quickly, and her face looked very worried and anxious.
When the people gathered here saw her, the gloom on their faces suddenly disappeared, and their faces were full of kindness and gratitude.
It was the middle-aged man who spoke to Shen Qing at the beginning who spoke first, only to see him take a step forward, and said to the woman in a soft voice: "Instead of caring about us, the fairy lady should care about her own body, you haven't had a good rest for several days in order to take care of us, just now you just fell asleep on the table, and everyone is very worried about you." β
Shen Qing's eyes flashed slightly.
The rumored fairy lady looks like an ordinary little girl.
The details of this fairy lady, Yu Jiu found out early in the morning, she is the only daughter of a wealthy businessman surnamed Ye in Wangzhou City, judging from her life experience, she seems to have no problem at all.
However, the information also found back that this Ye girl had suffered from a serious illness when she was eleven years old, and her father could not cure it after looking for a famous doctor, so she could only ask the Buddha for help, and sent the little girl to the Puning Temple outside Wangzhou City to recuperate, until she was thirteen years old, and her body was healed before she was picked up.
It's just that it was a few years ago, if she and this epidemic are someone's conspiracy, didn't the mastermind behind the scenes start to bury the thread several years ago?
Shen Qing was still sorting out the thoughts in his head, and he heard that Miss Ye seemed to be a little embarrassed and smiled: "It's worried everyone, but I'm fine, compared to me, you are suffering from the epidemic is the hardest."
I've already asked my family to buy some more medicinal herbs and food, so you don't have to worry, the situation will definitely get better.
By the way, what are you all doing here? β
She turned her head as she spoke, and when she saw Shen Qing, she was stunned for a moment, turned around a little panicked, and said, "Are you just ...... Mrs. Yu Xiang, who said she would come over today? The folk girl saw Mrs. Yu Xiang, and the folk girl was rude. β
Shen Qing smiled faintly and said, "It's okay." You're the rumored fairy lady, right? I heard that you have done a lot for the people who have suffered from the epidemic, and now that you see that it is so, it is no wonder that everyone likes you so much. β
Miss Ye pursed her lips and smiled, and before she could say anything, a person behind her snorted softly and said, "The Heavenly Fairy Lady has done much more for us than the government!" These days, a large number of new sick people are being brought in every day, but the government has not sent a new doctor! I haven't even seen a few people from the government! I wonder if the government doesn't want to care about us anymore! β
"That's right! In addition to sending more and more soldiers to guard us, what else has the government done!
We still have to pay such heavy taxes every year! The government hasn't had a little girl care about us! These days, if it weren't for Miss Ye's insistence on staying to see us, take care of us, and speak to comfort us, we would ...... We're just afraid we won't be able to hold on for a long time......"
Shen Qing's words obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the people.
Shen Qing couldn't help but look at him slightly.
These days, the government has not sent doctors and people in, but I am afraid that there is a shortage of manpower.
Most of the doctors who were sent in before were infected with the epidemic, and not all doctors were willing to come in with such a dangerous epidemic.
When Miss Ye heard this, she hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't say that, the government also has its own difficulties......
As she spoke, she suddenly gave up on her feet, and with an "oops" sound, she fell to the ground.
The crowd, which was originally quite calm, immediately boiled, and many people hurriedly went up to help the Ye girl, and the others looked at Shen Qing with angry faces, and said loudly: "But Madame pushed down the Heavenly Fairy Lady!" β
"Why did Madame deliberately push the fairy lady! But because the fairy lady did what the government should do and stole the limelight of the government, the lady didn't like the fairy lady! β
"Lao Liu is right, no matter how much the fairy lady does, the government will not appreciate it, it will only be an eyesore!
If you dare to hurt the fairy lady, you are Yu Xiang's wife, we ...... We won't let you go! β
I'm sleepy, sleep, good night
