C990 990 Abnormal sensation

The man was so frightened that he took a small step back, but he felt that his actions just now were too shameful. He puffed up his chest again and said, "This … This tricky woman immediately asked me for medicine. I'm not a deity, what kind of medicine can I come up with? These people are all infected by the plague, and will die sooner or later.

After he finished, he saw the increasingly cold expression on Yan Yuan's face, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva in fear.

Lu Yuan He, who came with Yan Yuan, and the other doctor sent by Yan Shuo heard what the man said and frowned in displeasure.

The plague may be terrifying, but it was not the first time it had occurred because of the floods. The imperial government already had a cure for the plague, so as long as it was treated properly, it would be able to survive.

This person was speaking nonsense. He clearly didn't take the commoners seriously.

His father was also the head of a county. When he said those words, coupled with the situation on the street, it was clear that the Zhixian's thoughts were in line with his son's.

Yan Yuan frowned, then loosened his grip. He did not say anything to the man, nor did he ask Tian Shu to make a move. He only asked a few guards dressed as servants to bring the mother and daughter away.

Seeing that Yan Yuan did not attack him, the man suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. He actually did not dare say a word to Yan Yuan as he took the mother and son away, and upon seeing them walk far away, his legs softened and he almost fell down.

If not for the people around him being quick, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

As the man was supported by the servant, he recalled his previous performance and angrily slapped his follower's face. "Useless thing!"

After Yan Yuan's group entered the city, they changed their plans from the start. They did not go directly to the county magistrate court. Instead, they changed direction and found a relatively small inn to stay in.

"Young master, young master, please save my husband, young master …"

The woman continuously kowtowed in front of Yan Yuan. Although she did not know the identities of these people, she could guess that they were either rich or powerful.

Yan Yuan did not look at her, but looked at the imperial physician who was standing in front of him and asked: "How is the child?"

"I took a kick to the chest, but fortunately it wasn't a serious injury. I just needed to apply some medicine to it."

Yan Yuan nodded his head, and continued: "Bring the emergency medicine that we brought back to this woman first."

"Yes."

Following that, Yan Yuan selected a few more guards that were accompanying his, and said: "Accompany this woman there, wait until her husband's condition has stabilized, and then bring them here."

The woman didn't care what Yan Yuan wanted to do, all she wanted to do now was to save her husband. After thanking Yan Yuan a million times over, she left with the guards.

"Let's go out as well."

This room was reserved for the Imperial Physician to treat the child, so they went to the room next door.

Once he closed the door, Liu Ruo Qing couldn't help but want to curse out loud, "If it wasn't for me looking at the bigger picture, I really want to directly twist that son of a bitch's head."

Compared to Liu Ruo Qing's fury, Yan Yuan was much calmer, but the coldness in his eyes was still extremely frightening.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance."

Yan Yuan walked forward, gently patted Liu Ruo Qing's shoulders and comforted him.

Only after taking several deep breaths did Liu Ruo Qing manage to suppress her anger, and when she thought about what the man said, her expression darkened even more.

"From what that son of a b * tch said, Zhixian did not plan to save them at all. Did he want them to perish on their own?"

Although it was just a question, Zhixian knew that this was Zhixian's plan after everything had happened for so long without seeing a temporary medical tent anywhere and needing the patient's family members to come and get medicine.

Speaking of that, Yan Yuan's face turned cold. It was clear that he had the same idea as Liu Ruo Qing, the Zhixian did not plan to bother with the plague anymore. The only way to deal with it was …

Thinking about the plans the Yizhou had in his heart, the warmth on Yan Yuan's face grew even colder.

"Rest for a while first. I'll send Tianshu to investigate this matter."

Liu Ruo Qing was helpless, looking at Yan Yuan's nervous appearance, she rolled her eyes, "I only lack martial arts, how can I be so delicate, don't call me rest."

Yan Yuan was tickled by her discontented look. Just thinking about the plans Zhixian had, Yan Yuan's gaze turned cold.

However, he still wanted Liu Ruo Qing to rest first, so he said: "I'm also tired, I'll accompany you. The government's relief food is expected to arrive in a few days, by tomorrow, we still have a lot to do."

Liu Ruo Qing thought about it, although she was not very tired, but she did not wish for Yan Yuan to be tired, so she agreed.

The two of them laid down to rest until the evening. After using the Evening meal s, Yan Yuan called Tianshu over and explained: "Bring a few people with you to scout the county magistrate, to see what exactly that Zhixian has in mind."

When he talked about this, Yan Yuan's face immediately turned cold, and the expression on his face became extremely sharp.

"Send a few people to check the granary of the magistrate court and see how much grain we have left."

"Yes."

After receiving his orders, Tian Shu left for the night. Then, he brought a few people with him and secretly snuck into the county magistrate. As for another group of people, they headed towards the county Ya's granary in the city.

The next day, Yan Yuan and his wife woke up early, and prepared to go out and look again. Just as they finished washing up, Tian Shu's voice came from outside the door, "Prince."

Hearing Tianshu's voice, the couple did not delay any longer. After dressing themselves, they left the room. Tianshu was waiting at the door.

"Let's talk while we walk."

"Yes."

Tian Shu followed beside Yan Yuan and reported everything that he had investigated last night. "When this subordinate was investigating the county magistrate last night, I realized that the Zhixian did not do anything to counter this disaster."

Yan Yuan's expression was indifferent. He had already anticipated this the moment he sent Tian Shu and the others to scout the county magistrate.

"What else?"

"Last night, when this subordinate went over, that Zhixian was in his concubine's room …"

Remembering the obscene voice that he heard on the roof last night, Tian Shu couldn't help but frown. After that, he lightly said, "I heard Zhixian and his concubine discuss the disaster, he intends to …"

What he said next caused Tianshu to be unable to keep a calm expression on his face, and a sense of sharpness vaguely emitted from his face.

"What's he going to do?"

Yan Yuan opened his mouth, his expression exceptionally sharp.

"He intends to let the victims outside the city perish on their own. He does not intend to take any of them into the city. When the time comes, he will burn down those who have been infected by the plague."

Although he had long since guessed this, when he heard Tian Shu's last words, the cold, sharp look on Yan Yuan's face became even more sinister and terrifying.
