Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 1009 Emotional Agitation
The people living in Luoyang City were actually very respectful to the emperor. No one dared to talk about the emperor or be disrespectful to him.
But in the past two days, many people came to them and told them something, and mentioned the missing doctors.
Among the many missing doctors, many were very kind to poor people. Not only did they not ask for money when treating people, they also paid for medicine for people out of their own pockets.
Over the years, people living in the slums have been very grateful to these doctors.
Now, when they heard that the disappearance of these doctors was because the Emperor and his wife wanted to refine the Phoenix Gu, and that some strong and healthy ordinary people were the inducers of the Phoenix Gu, they felt like they were struck by thunder in a clear sky, and their minds were blank.
However, the doctor's disappearance is true, and it is also true that some ordinary, strong people suddenly encounter accidents.
No matter how ignorant the people are, they can still understand some things when someone speaks with certainty.
Besides, this matter concerns their lives, how could they not take it seriously?
"As long as we are still alive, we will never let you set foot in our home, nor will we let you capture our relatives and boil them."
The people were very excited. Those who were physically strong protected the old, weak and sick behind them, staring at Lin Jing and others with ferocious eyes.
It was as if they had some unusual movement, and they would risk their lives to protect their families.
The boiling anger in Lin Jing's heart was frozen by the cold eyes of these people.
His breathing quickened and his lips moved slightly, as if he was about to explain.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them, so he could only remain silent.
The two sides were deadlocked for a while, neither could do anything to the other.
It was not until Ye Xuan received the news and rushed over that the tense atmosphere between the two sides was broken.
"What happened? Lin Jing, tell me quickly."
Without waiting for Lin Jing to speak, Ye Xuan spoke to the people.
"Fellow villagers, what's wrong with you? Why are you stopping my friend? Is there any misunderstanding?"
"My friend brought people here just to catch people who took 'Afurong'. There is nothing else to do. Please don't misunderstand me."
"By the way, what is 'opium'? It's all over the place. Have you heard about it?"
"If not, I will tell you what 'opium' is and why my friend wants to capture people who take it."
Ye Xuan was very gentle and elegant, with amazing affinity. In addition, as soon as he arrived, he had people stop Lin Jing and others. The people in the slums noticed this and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that their emotions had stabilized, Ye Xuan did not look happy at all, because the fact that they did not care about Lin Jing's identity and were determined to die with him was clearly engraved firmly in their minds.
He had no chance of convincing them unless he could do something that would convince them.
However, it was true that the Emperor and his wife wanted to refine the Phoenix Gu, and those who spread the rumor must have produced a lot of evidence, otherwise the people would not be so convinced.
If he wanted to change the people's perception, he had to flatter the emperor and his wife.
If it were before, Ye Xuan would be happy to do so, but now he is unwilling to do so.
After all, he had witnessed how bloody and terrifying the recipe of Phoenix Gu was when he was in the Western Regions.
The emperor really wanted to refine the Phoenix Gu, and the doctor's disappearance was related to the royal family. How could he have the heart to cover up the shame for the royal family!
He wished that everyone in the world knew about this so that the emperor would be cautious. Otherwise, once the cage holding the beast was opened, everyone in the world who wanted to pursue immortality would learn from it.
"Sir, what is 'opium'? We don't know at all. We only know that several doctors who like to do good things have disappeared."
"Their families were very worried about them and initially reported to the authorities to look for them, but the authorities did nothing."
"Now some people say that these doctors are not missing, but were kidnapped to make elixirs for the emperor. We are just ordinary people. We are worried about them and our own safety."
"So if we did anything inappropriate just now, I hope you can forgive us, because we had no choice."
A white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd. His eyes were cloudy and his face was weathered, like old tree bark. Just one look at him made people feel uneasy.
But he spoke appropriately, as if he had read several years of books and was quite sensible. However, Ye Xuan knew clearly that underneath his sensible appearance was his distrust of the royal family and the government.
"I will now introduce you to 'Aphrodisiac'."
Suppressing some inexplicable thoughts, Ye Xuan told the story of the harm of "opium" in fierce words, and specifically mentioned that Chen Changli used light words to make people look ugly in front of civil and military officials.
He only focused on telling the story and did not mention Lin Jing or the emperor. Many people listened with great interest, but as soon as Ye Xuan stopped talking, they asked about the Phoenix Gu.
"Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to capture people to make Phoenix Gu? Then 'Afurong' couldn't be the Phoenix Gu."
"Oh my god, Phoenix Gu is such a terrifying thing. Why did the emperor let people refine it, and even use human lives to refine it?"
"My son is still young. He hasn't married or had children yet. How could he die in such a ridiculous thing?"
The common people were not very knowledgeable. After two groups of people told stories to them one after another, they naturally thought that the "opium" and the Phoenix Gu in the stories were the same thing.
Lin Jing felt a splitting headache as he listened to their chatter.
He wanted to speak up to stop the people from talking, but Ye Xuan noticed his intention and immediately gave him a sidelong glance.
The people were emotional, and it was clear that they were worried that their lives would be in danger.
Lin Jing came over with such a fierce look on his face, how could they not misunderstand?
Receiving Ye Xuan's eye signal, Lin Jing could only suppress the desire to speak and looked at Ye Xuan expectantly, hoping that he could calm down these people.
Seeing him asking for help from him, Ye Xuan said unhappily, "Leave the matter here to me, and go check other places."
When Lin Jing heard this, he knew that Ye Xuan was going to take over the matter.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He took the initiative to help because he wanted to contribute, but he never expected that Ye Xuan would have to clean up his mess.
"This is not good." Lin Jing forced a smile, but his eyes swept across the faces of the people. Seeing that their eyes were full of defense and uneasiness, he felt very uncomfortable.
He was just about to speak to comfort the people and then listen to Ye Xuan's words to take people away from here, but at this moment someone suddenly ran over, sweating and panting.
"Sir, it's bad. There are people in South Street rebelling, and our people can't stop them."
