Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 1010 Encouraged
"How is this possible?" Lin Jing exclaimed in horror.
Ye Xuan's eyelids twitched slightly, but he said, "Hurry up and take someone over to check the situation."
Seeing Ye Xuan's solemn expression, Lin Jing ignored his panic and hurriedly led his men to South Street.
Ye Xuan thought about it and assigned some people to help, then focused his attention on the people in the slums.
Seeing that they were stunned and seemed to be frightened by the news just now, Ye Xuan immediately comforted them and emphasized that Lin Jing came here only for "Ofurong" and had no other purpose.
He begged everyone not to misunderstand, and emphasized to the old man the harm caused by "opium", and suggested that he take a group of people with him to see people who have been taking "opium" for many years.
Seeing that he was sincere and there were things waiting for him to do in South Street, he did not rush over but stayed to answer their questions. The old man couldn't help feeling a little moved.
However, he did not make any decision on his own, but just looked at the young man behind him.
Seeing that they looked confused and didn't understand Ye Xuan's words at all, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
He had studied when he was young and had also been out there to explore the world, so he naturally knew what Ye Xuan and Lin Jing's identities meant.
The reason why he stood up was because he was worried that once everyone got angry, they would offend people completely and then implicate themselves.
Ye Xuan was easier to talk to than he thought. He had always wanted to protect the people in the slums and had no intention of confronting these officials head-on.
The old man was somewhat shocked that Ye Xuan was willing to lower his posture, but he was also happy that Ye Xuan showed such an attitude. At least it showed that Ye Xuan would not do anything bad to them.
After weighing the pros and cons, the old man calmly continued Ye Xuan's words, and then persuaded everyone to follow Ye Xuan to see the fate of those who took "opium".
He had a relatively high status in the slums and everyone was willing to listen to him. Soon some young people stood up and followed Ye Xuan away.
The old man stayed where he was and watched them leave. Then he thought of what happened on South Street and felt inexplicably uneasy.
He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he took the remaining old, weak and sick people back to wait for news.
They stayed at home and waited patiently for news, but Lin Jing, who hurried to South Street, was shocked by the chaos in front of him.
He was so frightened that he gasped, but had to go ahead. However, these people were greatly stimulated, and when they saw him coming, it was like they saw their enemy from several lifetimes. The burning hatred in their eyes was enough to drive them crazy.
"Don't hurt anyone." Lin Jing saw the changes in these people's eyes and felt that something was wrong, so he immediately gave an order.
No matter what the people on South Street are making trouble for, he can't let anything happen to them, otherwise things will only get worse.
Although he came from a well-off family and was considered the emperor's confidant, he had spent decades in the Western Regions and had once served as the imperial teacher of the Western Regions, so the emperor had a grudge against him.
If he fails to handle things well this time, he will most likely be suspected and hated by the emperor.
In order not to drag down others, Lin Jing could only try his best to find a comprehensive solution.
"An official is coming. Don't be afraid. We can work together to protect our families and prevent them from suffering."
Lin Jing's figure coming with his men was very eye-catching, and many noisy people saw him.
When he gave the order, the people with sharp ears and eyes also heard it.
But they were not willing to appreciate it at all. Instead, they stared at Lin Jing with great vigilance, fearing that his gentleness at the moment was an illusion, and that the hypocritical skin would be torn off in the next moment, revealing the ugliness inside.
Lin Jing looked at these people and confirmed that their eyes were full of anger and hatred. His heart couldn't help but pound.
"Have you been wronged? My name is Lin Jing, and I am a third-rank official in Luoyang City. If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will seek justice for you."
Covering his chest with his hand to suppress the uneasiness, Lin Jing imitated Ye Xuan and adopted a gentle and polite attitude.
He is a little fat, and when he pretends to be gentle, he looks like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple, making people feel friendly at first sight.
But no matter how friendly he was, the people were unwilling to pay attention to him and just united to rush out.
They were so fierce, as if they were ready to risk their lives.
Seeing that they were not in a good state, Lin Jing shouted at the top of his voice: "What are you doing? Are you really going to rebel? Rebellion will implicate all nine clans. Folks, do you really want to implicate your family and clan members?"
After speaking breathlessly to the end, Lin Jing quickly asked people to guard the entrance of the alley to prevent the people who were in a bad condition from rushing out.
Otherwise, if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely send troops to suppress it, and then these people would really be treated as traitors.
Lin Jingke didn't want the people to end up like this, so he tried his best to understand their thoughts and was ready to find a way to solve their problems.
"I, Lin Jing, am an official after all. If you have any problem, just ask me and I will find a way to help you achieve your wish."
"If you don't want to believe me, then you can go directly to the government office. The current prefect is an upright man and he will never let you suffer any injustice."
Lin Jing did not give the people any great lectures, but only advised them earnestly and pointed out a way for them to file a complaint.
"The emperor is eating us like food, how can you officials really serve us?"
"That's right, you guys quickly get out of the way, we are going to ask the emperor for an explanation, otherwise we will be trapped and die in Luoyang City together."
Not long after Lin Jing finished speaking, two people from the fierce South Street residents spoke up.
Lin Jing immediately looked in the direction of the voice, but saw no one.
His heart skipped a beat, because he guessed that these two people were deliberately causing trouble. Perhaps the people in South Street were planning to rebel, all because of the unpleasant words they said and frightened people.
"Don't you want to believe me?" Lin Jing understood what was going on when he thought of this. He immediately put on a calm look and asked in an obscure tone.
As soon as he asked the question, his eyes scanned everyone very sharply.
He wanted to catch the person who was doing evil in secret, so he didn't want to miss the changes in people's expressions.
"Humph, all officials are in the same group." An old voice sounded from behind the crowd.
But after a while, a low and hoarse voice echoed from another corner: "The emperor doesn't care about us ordinary people, so how can the officials care? They protect each other, and it's us ordinary people who suffer."
"You're right. None of you officials are good. How can we trust you?" The people were instigated and immediately started making a fuss.
"Our Luoyang City was fine before, but since the emperor came with his men, our lives have been getting worse and worse."
"Many doctors have gone missing before. We reported to the authorities, but there has been no news for several months. What do you officials do for a living? You can't really tie up those doctors and make some elixir of immortality, right?"
