667 Soldiers, raid this porridge shop
The situation that had finally calmed down started to get chaotic again. More people knelt on the ground to apologize. Other people who had not known the situation, after hearing the explanations of the people around them and understanding the cause and effect, also knelt down: "Miss Feng is so righteous, Miss Feng is so righteous, repaying evil with kindness, Miss Feng is so righteous!"
Among the people present, except Feng Qingchen, everyone looked excited. Sun Sixing was so happy that he was speechless. Xuan Shaoqi also looked proud of Feng Qingchen. Only the expression on Feng Qingchen's face became increasingly indifferent.
"Qingchen, are you okay?" Xuan Shaoqi noticed that Feng Qingchen was not right and asked softly.
"It's okay." Feng Qingchen murmured, the corners of her lips moved slightly and she chuckled, but there was no smile in her eyes. Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, looking at these people who blamed themselves, Feng Qingchen's eyes became colder and colder.
Isn't this the desired result that was chosen to hold the free clinic near the city gate? But why is she not happy at all?
Feng Qingchen turned his head silently and looked towards the direction of the imperial palace: Uncle Ninth Prince, are you satisfied with this result?
The hurt and humiliation she had suffered had nothing to do with these people. They were just being used. Besides, their self-blame and regret had nothing to do with her. She could live well without their confession.
Feng Qingchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, his tone was calm and his expression was natural, not affected by these people at all.
"Everyone, get up."
Everyone did not move, but fell silent. They looked at Feng Qingchen, as if they could not understand how she could be so calm, since they had hurt her badly in the past.
"Everyone, get up. Let the past be the past. If I really took it to heart, I wouldn't come here for the free clinic." Although coming here for the free clinic was not her idea, she might as well say something nice when she came.
"Miss Feng, you are such a kind person." Thousands of words were reduced to this one sentence. The men, who were forced to have no way to survive due to the heavy snow, looked at each other, held their heads in their hands and sobbed.
You are such a nice person!
It was a heartfelt evaluation for them, but it was an irony for Feng Qingchen.
She's not okay at all.
"Okay, it's freezing cold. If you kneel on the ground for too long, the cold air will enter your body. Get up, and don't get sick from kneeling." Feng Qingchen's voice was very light and cold, but it sounded like concern to everyone.
Miss Feng cares about them.
Finally, everyone gave up and stood up, supporting each other.
Woo woo woo, those who had hurt Feng Qingchen felt even more guilty. They lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen closed her eyes to hide the cold smile in her eyes. Does such an apology still have any meaning to her?
Perhaps, she once blamed these people for being ignorant and instigated. She clearly did nothing, but these people still hurt her. But now she really doesn't care, and doesn't care what these people think.
Feng Qingchen ignored everyone and turned to Sun Sixing and said, "Sixing, go back to work and don't abandon your patient."
"Master, are you okay?" Sun Sixing looked at Feng Qingchen with concern.
Rather than apologizing to her master, these people were more like reopening his master's wounds and making him feel the pain once again. Although he was kind, he had his own standards in his heart. Apart from his parents, his master was the most important person to him.
"What can happen to me, your master? It wasn't my fault in the first place, and they've apologized to me now. Let the past be the past." Even if she couldn't let it go, she wouldn't bother with these ordinary people.
"Well, Master, I'm glad you're okay." Sun Sixing nodded vigorously: "Then Master, I'll go get busy first."
Before leaving, his eyes fell on Xuan Shaoqi, and Sun Sixing looked conflicted. Master Cui said that his master did not want to marry Xuan Shaoqi, even if he thought Xuan Shaoqi was a good person. He should help his master drive Xuan Shaoqi away, but now his master only has Xuan Shaoqi.
Sun Sixing hesitated for a moment, but still said solemnly to Xuan Shaoqi: "Young Master Xuan, please take good care of my master." The safety of the master is the most important thing.
Xuan Shaoqi was stunned for a moment, then seeing Sun Sixing's serious face, he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."
The two parties left, one going inside and the other going outside, but before they had taken five steps, there was another burst of noise from outside, accompanied by the sound of smashing and smashing.
"No, no, please don't smash it, please don't smash it, this is our lives, our lives."
"Sir, please, please don't do that. Please give us a way to live."
"It's a real steamed bun, don't step on it, don't step on it."
"Ah... don't fall, don't fall, this is going to take our lives! This is forcing us to die!"
The sounds of chores and crying could be heard. As soon as they heard the sounds, everyone knew something was wrong. Feng Qingchen turned around quickly and put all the medicine in his hand into Sun Sixing's hand: "Sixing, I have written down the diagnosis of the patients inside, and what medicines to prescribe. You give the medicine according to what I wrote. If you can't handle it, wait until I come back, I'll go out and take a look."
Feng Qingchen ran out like a whirlwind.
"I'll go too." Xuan Shaoqi imitated Feng Qingchen and put the medicine in Sun Sixing's hand: "Take it, don't smash it."
After saying that, he ran out as well.
"Hurry, go and see what happened."
"It seems that the porridge and steamed buns we were given were smashed by someone. Let's go and check it out."
The people in the house also knew that something had happened and ran out one after another.
"I want to go too. I want to go too." Sun Sixing was holding a bunch of medicines and was so angry that he jumped up and down. But no one cared about him at this time. Sun Sixing had no choice but to go into the house with the bunch of medicines to comfort the patient.
When Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi came out, they saw the soldiers, as if they were terribly hungry, swinging their spears towards the porridge stall. The ground was full of porridge and trampled steamed buns. Some civilians rushed forward to stop them, but these soldiers ignored them and shot at them without caring about the civilians' lives.
"Ah... Uncle, I beg you, don't smash it, don't smash it, if you want to vent your anger, just hit me."
"Sir, this is our life-saving porridge. Please give us a chance to survive."
“Ahhh… I’m going to fight you. I’m going to fight you. There are so many of us and we rely on these porridge and steamed buns to survive. Why do you smash them? Why do you smash them?”
"This is going to kill us. We can't survive this. We can't survive this..."
The people cried, shouted, and begged, but the soldiers were unmoved. They looked sarcastic and their men moved faster and faster: "You are a bunch of unruly people. How dare you ask me why? Why? Just because of my clothes, even if I smash them today, what can you do to me?"
"Eat, eat, eat. I'm going to eat you to death. The government has given you less food or drink. The adults have already opened the warehouses to provide disaster relief. You are a bunch of traitors. You have eaten what the government gives you, and you dare to eat this white porridge that comes from unknown sources."
"Treason, you are gathering a crowd to rebel, do you hear me?"
"Smash it! Smash it for me! Who told you to set up a stall to give out porridge? Did you get permission from the government? Smash all these fake things. Anyone who dares to resist will be thrown into jail."
The officers and soldiers were as brutal as bandits. They treated the unarmed civilians as enemies and attacked them without caring about their lives.
Bang... blood splashed everywhere, dyeing everyone's eyes red, and also dyeing the white snow red...
"Stop, stop right there, what are you doing?" Tong Jue rushed out, his eyes reddened when he saw this scene, and he rushed forward to fight with those officers and soldiers, but was stopped by Feng Qingchen: "Don't go."
"Miss?" Tong Jue couldn't believe it. These words came out of Feng Qingchen's mouth. Where was her young lady's hatred of evil? Where was her young lady's chivalrous heart? Where was her young lady's resolute and ruthless courage?
"It's useless for you to go. Don't you see that those soldiers came prepared? What can we do if we go forward? The porridge and steamed buns have been smashed by them. If we go forward, it will only intensify the conflict." Seeing that Feng Qingchen didn't want to explain, Xuan Shaoqi spoke for her.
He didn't want this little maid to misunderstand Feng Qingchen. Besides, officials should not fight with soldiers. If they rushed forward to fight with the officers and soldiers, they would be guilty even if they were not wrong.
"Miss, I..." Tong Jue understood immediately after hearing it and looked at Feng Qingchen with an apologetic expression.
Everything has been smashed. What can they do if they rush forward? What can they save?
These officers and soldiers are obviously here to cause trouble. They will naturally leave when they have smashed enough. If they rush forward, it will only make these officers and soldiers more arrogant.
Feng Qingchen did not say anything, but just stopped others who wanted to clash with the officers and soldiers. If it were in the past, these people would definitely not take Feng Qingchen's words seriously, but it is different now.
Feng Qingchen spoke, and even if they were unwilling, they would stop obediently, but they were filled with hatred in their hearts.
"Miss Feng..." The nine-foot-tall man burst into tears when he saw the thick white porridge and mushy steamed buns on the ground.
"Don't go. It's useless to go. Let them smash it and then leave." Feng Qingchen did not comfort them, but just spoke.
"Wuwuwu..." More and more people were crying. They looked at the officers and soldiers fiercely, but no one stepped forward. More people were staring at the porridge and steamed buns on the ground.
The porridge was fragrant and thick. They were reluctant to drink it all and wanted to save some for their parents. The steamed buns were big and soft. They hadn't eaten such fragrant steamed buns for many years.
"Oh my God, you are not letting us live."
"Oh my God, what have we done wrong, what have we done wrong..."
You are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are those officials who have no worries about food and drink. They don't know what hunger feels like, and they don't know how painful it is to starve to death.
Feng Qingchen was relieved when he saw that the people did not rush forward to clash with the officers and soldiers, so there would be no casualties.
"Go and bring those people out." He turned around and ordered Xuan Shaoqi rudely.
Let him pull back those who had clashed with the officers and soldiers. Those people were beaten by the officers and soldiers until their heads were broken and bleeding. The blood... dyed the steamed buns and white porridge on the ground red, but they did not feel any pain and pulled with the officers and soldiers numbly.
There was no more porridge or steamed buns, and they had no hope of survival. Since they were not allowed to live, what was the point of their lives? They had to fight, fight, fight with these officers and soldiers...
