Chapter 257 Want to kill people to silence them?

Su Bowen was taking care of seriously ill patients with his soldiers when a group of civilians came over.

"Hand over the antidote, yes, hand it over!" The shouts outside the camp shook the sky.

"The Su family army has filled their pockets and secretly hidden the antidote for the plague. They only care about their own army. Let's fight them."

Su Bowen's deputy general Xu Li stopped to listen for a while. The more he listened, the more outrageous it became. He hurried to report to Su Bowen.

Su Bowen was confused: "How can this plague make people talk nonsense like this?"

Xu Li said helplessly: "I see that they are so aggressive that they want to break into our tents. If they didn't know that all the people living inside are seriously ill, I estimate that they have already broken in."

Su Bowen dropped the work in his hands and said: "Let's go down and take a look!"

Su Bowen left the barracks and was surrounded by voices of condemnation before he could even open his mouth.

Someone asked loudly: "General Su, didn't you say that you would stand together with the people of the Western Territory? Why are you only allowing your Su family army to use the medicine to treat the plague?"

Su Bowen explained kindly: "My fellow villagers, this plague is very serious. I have summoned all the doctors in the Western Territory to work together to study countermeasures. I have also sent people to the capital to seek help as soon as possible.

The current emperor loves his people like his own children. I believe that he will send medical officers and medicines soon."

Someone said sarcastically: "Su The general said it sounded so good, but the medicines given by the doctors had no effect on the plague. People are dying one after another. I'm afraid the medicines are just to fool us!"

Su Bowen remained patient: "This plague is so fierce. We haven't found the source yet. Although the effect of the medicine is not satisfactory, our doctors in the west are constantly observing the patients and making adjustments at the risk of their lives. It's useless to be anxious now. We have to wait patiently!"

"General Su is now trying to persuade us earnestly, why do you and your personal guards have the right medicine?"

Xu Lishi couldn't listen any longer, and stepped forward and said, "Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. You saw with your own eyes that we took the medicine.

Even those medicines you said were ineffective, my general and our 500 people have some.

On the contrary, , General Su also led the way and treated the patients. In order to let these seriously ill patients have a mouthful of porridge, the general took out all our rations. General Su and his brothers have been eating coarse grains for several days!"

Zhuang Dazhuang couldn't help it: "That's right, I have never seen an official like our General Su who cares about the people so much. Your words are really chilling!"

"Why did he give the army rations to the patients? It's because he felt guilty. You ate all the life-saving animal medicines, and you kept saying that you gave porridge to those who died for you."

"That's right. No one saw that you took the right medicine, but isn't it obvious? If you hadn't taken the medicine, how could you still be so energetic if you were surrounded by these seriously ill patients every day!" "That's right. The

group of people who got sick with you had died long ago, but there was not a single seriously ill person in your Su Army from top to bottom. Who would believe that there was no cat pus here!" When

these words came out, Su Bowen and Xu Li were stunned.

They had been busy helping to treat the patients, and they didn't even realize that their resistance to the plague was indeed much stronger than others.

Su Bowen immediately thought of his daughter Su Xiaoxiao. The talisman she gave him must have played a significant role.

Unfortunately, the remaining small talismans were all used to treat the civilians and soldiers injured by the puppet's sigh, and now there is none left.

Seeing them in a daze, someone said aggressively: "What do you think? We were right, you feel guilty, and you have nothing to say!"

A soldier in the Su family army was angry and cursed: "Bullshit, we have been working diligently and taking care of these patients without sleep. We are almost exhausted. Instead of expressing gratitude, you suspect that we have secretly taken the antidote. You are really a dog-bitten Lu Dongbin, and you don't know the good heart!"

"Who said I wasn't infected by the plague? Look at us, we are covered with rashes and it itches so much. Even our generals don't have a single piece of good meat left. Even so, we still put the people first. I won't tolerate your being so indiscriminate. I am

a big boss who wipes the bodies of the sick and takes care of their excrement and urine every day, and now you guys are putting the blame on me!"

Su Bowen saw that the man was getting more and more outrageous, so he shouted, "Heizi, shut up!"

Then he said to the people with a serious face, "If you have this doubt, I can understand.

"I don't know why the disease is not serious, but I, Su Bowen, have been at the border for more than a year. How can I keep the antidote to myself? If you want to ask me and the 500 soldiers under my command why the disease is not serious, I really can't answer you, but I, Su Bowen, swear to heaven that if there is a medicine that can cure the plague, I will give it to everyone as soon as possible, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and

die a miserable death." Su Bowen's character is obvious to all, and his prestige in the Western Border is unmatched. After these words came out, some people began to waver again, wondering if they were judging others by their own mean hearts.

But there were spies from Dayin mixed in the crowd. Seeing that everyone was easily persuaded, they couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

"You want everyone to believe you just by swearing. There is no such good thing in the world. If you have a clear conscience, tell everyone why none of your people are seriously ill!"

A soldier named Song Qing said, "I want to tell you, I don't know why, maybe we are sincere in our hearts and God is looking after us!"

The man was afraid that he could not arouse everyone's anger, so he shouted, "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that we, the common people, have evil hearts?

You are greedy for life and afraid of death. It's okay to steal the antidote, but you are pretending to be saints here. You are really hypocritical. Even bitches are not as thick-skinned as you!"

"Who do you say is a bitch? I can't kill you!" Song Qing was completely enraged. His mother was born in a brothel and he hated this word the most.

He rushed out directly, grabbed the man and punched him.

The man covered his head and shouted: "They are beating people! The Su army is beating people! Not only did they secretly take the antidote, they also beat the people in broad daylight. Now that the emperor is far away, the Su army wants to cover up everything and kill us all. They want to kill us to silence us!"

His accomplices also helped: "Fellow villagers, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. They have bullied us. Instead of fighting for our dignity, we should fight for our dignity and be killed by them!"

When he shouted like this, many people, especially those standing in the back who didn't know what was going on, thought that the Su army really wanted to kill people to silence us, and they all rushed forward.

For a while, there was a mess of fighting and cursing.
