Following Mingyue's instructions, Ji Yong'an found a clinic and saw guards forcefully grabbing the clinic's doctor, shouting loudly, "The Grand Preceptor has ordered! All doctors in clinics within the city must go to the City Lord's Mansion!"
An elderly doctor was pushed and stumbled. He angrily pointed at the group of guards and shouted, "You bunch of robbers, what do you want to do!"
"You old codgers! It's an honor for you that the Imperial Advisor has invited you!"
"You—"
The old doctor was so angry that his aged face turned ashen. He had spent half his life saving lives and had never been treated like this before!
This is absolutely outrageous!!!
"Who dares to resist? Do they want to oppose the Grand Preceptor?!"
The guard pointed at the old doctor, arrogantly declaring, "This is what happens if you dare to go against me!"
The surrounding people pointed and whispered curses at the group of guards.
"What will become of you? Who do you think you are?" Ji Yong'an interrupted the guard, stepped forward and helped the old doctor up. "Old sir, are you alright?"
Do I look like I'm alright?
The old doctor snorted coldly, angrily shaking off Ji Yong'an's helping hand, his wrinkled hand trembling with rage.
Birds of a feather flock together!
Anyway, he's an old man, he's not afraid of death!
Ji Yong'an wasn't angry. He bowed deeply and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm doing this on behalf of the Grand Preceptor to give you an explanation!"
Turning his head, Ji Yong'an stared indifferently at the guard. He had been on the battlefield, and the bloodthirsty aura emanating from him forced the guard's arrogant demeanor to subside.
"Who gave you permission to outwardly obey but inwardly disobey the Grand Preceptor's orders? The Grand Preceptor's orders were for you to invite the city's doctors to the City Lord's Mansion so that we could discuss prices and provide free medical consultations for the city's residents."
"How dare you treat these doctors like this? Who gave you the audacity? Don't you all want your heads?!"
The guards were forced to retreat step by step. They wanted to run away, but when they saw that the surrounding area was blocked, the men brought by Ji Yong'an directly suppressed the group of guards.
Ji Yong'an snorted coldly. How dare they spread rumors about the Grand Preceptor right in front of him!
"How dare you tarnish the reputation of the Grand Preceptor?"
"Well done! I can't stand these bandit guards!"
"You bastards, try being so cocky again? Try barking one more time! Bah!"
Someone threw a stone, and then things got out of control. Ji Yong'an didn't stop them, but ordered his men to take these people back to await their fate.
Ji Yong'an calmed the restless crowd and announced loudly, "The Grand Preceptor, out of compassion for the people, has specially invited doctors from the city's medical clinics to the City Lord's Mansion. He will personally pay as a deposit for each doctor to provide free medical consultations for three days!"
People are afraid of getting sick, especially at this time. Which family here is not poor?
Many people spend all their savings on an illness, and it's not enough to cover it all. This is a free medical consultation for three days. Some people didn't believe it and asked nervously, "Really? It really doesn't cost any money?"
Yes, what if we have to pay something else?
Seeing that the people's eyes were once again focused on him, Ji Yong'an looked at the pale, thin but hopeful eyes before him and answered firmly, "Really!"
Immediately afterwards, the people present erupted in unprecedented cheers. The more they had hated the Grand Preceptor just moments before, the more grateful they were now.
Ji Yong'an walked up to the old doctor again. "Old sir, you can always trust the imperial court and the Grand Preceptor sent by the emperor. The emperor will not forget any of his people!"
Overshadowing the emperor's merits is a disaster. Ji Yong'an should appropriately point out to the emperor that the blame should not be placed entirely on Mingyue.
In just three short sentences, the people burst into tears, crying out to Heaven, lamenting their suffering, and recounting these unbearable days.
