The next day, Ling Jingyu went to Sunjia Village, where, according to information, the outbreak originated.
He's a miracle doctor; it's the best thing for him to step in and control the epidemic.
Mo Yunzhao originally intended to go with them, but although the city was stable, he feared another outbreak.
She stayed in the city and continued.
Mo Yunlan watched them leave, carrying her large sword. "Ah Zhao, why do I get the feeling that you're in charge of internal affairs while His Highness is in charge of external affairs?"
In particular, she noticed that the jade pendant hanging from His Highness's waist was the purple jade grape pendant that A-Zhao had taken a liking to on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival.
"That's just your imagination." Mo Yunzhao glanced at her and then hurried away.
This incident has caused many problems to erupt in the city, and she will be very busy lately.
She was in her study, giving orders to others.
As for the Tu and Wang families, she hasn't settled accounts with them yet, but she has already abandoned them.
Those who are currently capable are being promoted; we're just waiting to settle accounts and then directly support them to the top.
"Gu Yong, take some people to examine the people's pulses again, and also pay close attention to the water supply these next few days..."
As she was giving instructions, Mo Yunlan rushed in, "Ah Zhao, something terrible has happened."
"What's wrong?" Mo Yunzhao asked, looking up.
Her face was still very pale, as she had not yet recovered from the excessive depletion of her magic power in the past few days.
"A group of people have kidnapped many women and children, and they want you to give them an explanation..."
Mo Yunzhao quickly got up and followed.
On the way there, she had already heard Mo Yunlan explain the situation clearly.
They were talking about taxes.
As for the taxes, she has already asked Fu Meng to handle them.
Soon, she arrived at her destination, on the abandoned city tower in the west of the city, a place sparsely populated.
This alerted the crowd, and a large crowd had already gathered.
On the abandoned city tower, there were twenty or thirty people holding machetes, and each of them had captured a person.
There were elderly people with white hair, children with delicate features, pregnant women, and of course, people holding a crying baby.
At this moment, the city wall was crowded with people, and various cries and shouts could be heard continuously.
Below the city gate, the families of these people were also crying their hearts out.
It's all in complete chaos again.
"Witch, save me!"
As soon as Mo Yunzhao appeared, a childish shout made her look up.
A burly man with a thick beard held a little beggar in his hand, and his gleaming wood-chopping knife was held across the little beggar's thin neck.
She felt a sense of familiarity with this little beggar.
"Are you the city lord of Moyang City?" The burly man with a bushy beard immediately spotted Mo Yunzhao, the most dazzling figure in the crowd.
Mo Yunzhao looked up at the city gate.
A pregnant woman with a bulging belly, nearing her due date, cried out, "Lord, please save me! My stomach hurts so much! I'm going into labor! Please save me, save my child!"
"Daddy, help me!" the young child cried out in terror.
The elderly man, trembling, had already wet his pants.
The baby, still in swaddling clothes, was crying loudly.
Mo Yunzhao: "Release them. I have already started to take care of the tax collection."
“We don’t believe you. You have to say right now that you’re exempting the people of Moyang City from taxes, and stamp it with your seal. Then you have to give up your position as city lord. Otherwise, we’ll kill the hostages right now.”
The burly man with a bushy beard excitedly swung his wood-chopping knife. The little beggar felt a sharp pain in his neck and cried out in fright, "Witch, save me! Save me quickly!"
Others followed suit.
The person holding the baby lifts it high, as if to throw the baby.
"My son!" A woman collapsed to the ground, nearly fainting.
