"Stop! Where do you want to go?" The soldiers realized Su Lijin's intention and glared at her fiercely.
"Hmph, don't tell us you want to tip off the police."
Surrounded by a group of people, Su Lijin snorted in her heart.
These people must have something to hide, so once they realized that she was trying to tip off the secret, they became desperate and took desperate measures.
"If you didn't do anything, why are you afraid of being tipped off?" she said sarcastically.
These words immediately made the soldiers' faces darken.
"This woman really wants to leak information!"
"You want to leave, but it's not that easy!"
The soldiers surrounding her moved a few steps closer, each looking at her with a fierce look on their face.
"How dare you not only withhold the imperial court's supplies, but you even want to kill people in broad daylight to silence them?"
Su Lijin was not nervous at all, but it was difficult to deal with so many soldiers in front of her.
She was a little surprised. Most soldiers would not be so blatant and would be afraid, but they looked very arrogant and completely ignored the deterrent power of her words.
After hearing this, the soldiers burst into laughter.
"You probably don't know the title of Prime Minister, right? How dare you interfere in the Prime Minister's affairs!"
"Are you the Prime Minister's men?"
Su Lijin was stunned for a moment, then a look of realization appeared in her eyes.
No wonder, no wonder these people are so fearless, it turns out that the Prime Minister is backing them up.
"Are you scared? If so, just stay here quietly. Otherwise, we won't be polite!"
Upon hearing the news, Su Lijin pretended to be scared and returned to where she was.
She was thinking about how to solve the problem of supplies until a dark shadow enveloped her. She was startled and looked up suddenly.
"Master Guyun?"
"You're so engrossed in what you're thinking about, I haven't noticed it in all the time I've been here."
Xiao Shengxing looked at her, and seeing that she was safe, his expression relaxed slightly.
Su Lijin was delighted: "Master Guoyun, you came at the perfect time. I just happened to be looking for you for something."
"Oh? What do you want to talk to me about?" This surprised Xiao Shengxing a little.
Su Lijin's expression grew solemn, and she said, "I just noticed that the supplies in this area haven't been delivered yet, and the people are starving to the point of drinking dirty water. I want you to talk to the emperor and ask him to investigate the matter of the supplies."
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Shengxing's face suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at the soldiers outside with a cold look.
"Supplies were distributed on the first day the emperor learned about the plague," he said with a gloomy face.
Su Lijin was obviously a little surprised: "Does that mean they detained these people early in the morning?"
She hadn't seen any support supplies and originally thought that the supplies would not be delivered so quickly.
It now appears that the emperor distributed the supplies on the first day, while someone had already seized the supplies on the first day.
"Damn it! How dare these people be so brazen as to seize even life-saving supplies!"
She clenched her fists in anger. "Someone must have pocketed all these supplies for themselves!"
Su Lijin was secretly filled with hatred in her heart. These people were so inhumane. You know, without supplies, the people in the plague-controlled areas would definitely starve to death!
"They are simply taking human lives lightly!" she gritted her teeth.
How could Xiao Shengxing not understand what was going on?
He knew how important the supplies were to the people, which is why he distributed them on the first day.
But I didn’t expect…
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and cruel: "It seems that the people below are really becoming more and more lawless."
"Master Guoyun, I must entrust these matters to you now. You must thoroughly investigate the matter of the supplies and recover them quickly. Otherwise, the people here will not be able to hold on."
Su Lijin frowned, and the worry in her heart was almost written on her face.
The plague is already fierce. Without supplies, and without enough food and warm clothes, the people here will be even more unable to resist.
Xiao Shengxing nodded: "Don't worry, I will investigate thoroughly."
The two talked for a few more words before Xiao Shengxing left.
He came here this time just to check on Su Lijin's condition. Now that he has confirmed that Su Lijin is safe and sound, he feels relieved.
Just thinking about the supplies, his black eyes still carried a cold chill.
He paused, waved his hand slightly, and the secret guards immediately appeared.
"master."
"Go prepare some supplies and send them here secretly."
Secret Guard: "Yes."
After the secret guard left, he stood for a while, looked around the slums, and then left.
…
Here, Su Lijin found a house in the center of the slums to boil medicine. All the prescriptions she researched would be boiled here.
Although the final antidote has not yet been developed, she has not given up.
"Girl, the medicine is ready, take a look first."
The couple who stayed here and took the initiative to help her make medicine were a couple. The woman took the medicine bowl with a kind look on her face.
"Well, Aunt Zhang, just put it here."
Su Lijin hurriedly took it and thanked with a smile.
"My boss suddenly fell ill. I think there's nothing else to do now, so I'll go back first."
"Okay, go back first. I don't have any new prescriptions for the time being."
She nodded, glanced at Aunt Zhang's leaving figure, then lowered her head to continue reading the medical book and writing the prescription.
However, only half an hour later, a scream broke the silence.
"Oh no! Someone's dead outside!"
Su Lijin followed the sound and saw that there were already quite a few people gathered there.
People were talking about the corpse with horrified expressions on their faces.
When she walked over and saw the woman lying on the ground covered in blood, the color on her face suddenly faded.
