Then, another aged voice rang out: "I, this old woman, can also testify that Doctor Yun is not a spy. It was Doctor Yun who gave me acupuncture yesterday, and that's how I finally got a good night's sleep. For so many years, I haven't had a good night's sleep because of leg pain."
The voice was filled with gratitude.
Then someone else shouted, "Me too! The medicine I have was specially sent out of the city by Doctor Yun today. Doctor Yun could never be a spy."
More and more people are coming forward to defend Yun Qingluo, saying that they have received treatment or help from her.
Finally, a unified voice rang out from the crowd: "We can all testify."
These voices intertwined, forming a powerful force that made even the guards who had initially doubted Doctor Yun begin to waver.
Yun Qingluo was quite surprised. She hadn't even used her full strength yet, so why were these people so protective of her?
Yun Qingluo was somewhat moved, but mostly puzzled.
With a smug smile, the Ghost Doctor pulled Yun Qingluo's master through the crowd and leaned close to Yun Qingluo, whispering, "How about it? We did a good job, didn't we? I had a feeling something big was going to happen, so this morning I had your master distribute all these medicines in your name. I also told everyone that as long as Doctor Yun is here, they will definitely be saved."
Upon hearing these words, Yun Qingluo felt a warmth in her heart, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. So that's how it is; everything makes sense now.
She turned her head and looked deeply at the Ghost Doctor and her master, her eyes filled with gratitude, and said softly, "Thank you, Master and Junior Uncle."
However, at that moment, an angry shout broke the silence, startling everyone.
Cheng Qing's face was ashen, his eyes filled with boundless anger and authority. He roared, "What are you all dawdling about? Immediately! Take all these guys down!" His voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the courtyard and inspiring fear in everyone present.
However, the guards around him, who should have carried out the orders quickly, seemed hesitant.
They exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a complex and indescribable emotion. Because among those who had just stepped forward were their family members.
This unexpected situation put even these battle-hardened guards in a dilemma.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingluo calmly observed everything happening around her.
Soon, she noticed something unusual about the guards—their gazes kept drifting unconsciously into the crowd. Yun Qingluo followed their gazes one by one, and suddenly realized what was going on.
They've found them. Perhaps some of the patients here are relatives of these guards. Faced with this situation, it's no wonder they were so hesitant and caught in a dilemma...
What she said next confirmed her guess.
"Little Tiger! Please don't do anything foolish. If it weren't for Doctor Yun's miraculous healing skills and acupuncture, I probably wouldn't even have the strength to stand here and talk to you today. So, please don't act impulsively. Doctor Yun could never be a spy." Granny Sun said anxiously to one of the guards in front of her.
Another elderly woman, being supported by a young woman beside her, chimed in, "Yes, child! We must have a conscience! Whether we are officials or not is not that important, but if we do things against our conscience, we will be punished by heaven! We must never be so foolish!"
At that moment, Cheng Qing took in the hesitation on the guard's face and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Have you forgotten who you are serving? Anyone who dares to disobey orders today will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swiftly drew his sword from his waist and swung it without hesitation at one of the guards who was trying to back down.
In an instant, a flash of cold light appeared, and a thin bloodstain instantly appeared on the guard's neck, followed by a trickle of blood seeping out.
The guard trembled, his eyes widened, and he slowly fell backward to the ground.
"Cheng Qing, how dare you!" Xu Sheng's eyes widened in anger.
Cheng Qing sneered, pointed his sword at Xu Sheng, and said mockingly, "Xu Sheng, you can't protect anyone today."
"Take them down right now. Anyone who takes another step back will suffer the same fate as you." Cheng Qing wiped the water off his face and coldly ordered.
Xu Sheng was about to draw his sword when Yun Qingluo pressed it back down.
“I never expected there to be such a powerful figure in this place, using such a clumsy excuse to try and kill us. Lord City Lord, it would be unwise for you to rashly draw your sword and confront him now.” Yun Qingluo spoke calmly and slowly to Xu Sheng, her expression serene.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng frowned slightly, but his eyes remained as firm as a rock. He said in a deep voice, "Doctor Yun, please rest assured, I will protect you and will never let these people harm a single hair on your head."
Yun Qingluo's lips curled into a faint smile, as warm and gentle as a spring breeze. She said softly, "This person is quite clever. He immediately labeled us as spies of an enemy country without any investigation. In this way, whether we choose to resist or submit, we cannot escape our fate. If we fight back, they will surely execute us on the spot for treason; but if we do not resist and surrender, we will be seen as guilty and cowardly, and we will also be unable to escape punishment."
Dr. Zhou became anxious, "Then what should we do? Are we just supposed to let them call white black?"
