After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Xu Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "I really don't want to save them. I'll go."

"It's not that simple." Xia Nian touched his chin and walked forward, glancing at those people out of the corner of his eye.

They have already left under A Shuo's command.

"Anian, do you think they chose to have the accident when we arrived on purpose?" Xiahou Yu asked.

Xia Nian nodded and said, "That's right, I'll talk about it later."

They arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and found that the City Lord was indeed simple. The entire mansion was not very big, the decoration inside was very simple, and there were not too many costumes. The only better thing was a white porcelain vase that contained a bunch of withered flowers.

But there was a faint soothing aroma floating in it, which only added to the ancient flavor.

When the old city lord heard that the problem was solved, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Next to the city lord, Su Xun looked a little pale, flipping through the medical book in his hand without saying a word. Hearing the voices of several people, he raised his head in surprise, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Zheng next to Pei Xuanxi.

Pei Xuanxi turned slightly to block his gaze and asked, "City Lord, what happened these days? Why are the people so emotional?"

Su Xun's eyes twitched slightly, and he stood up and walked away with a cold face.

The old city lord sighed and gave a brief explanation of the situation in Taoyuan City in recent days.

It turned out that the situation had indeed improved since the arrival of the miracle doctor. He believed that the city gates should be closed to prevent the disease from spreading to people from outside the city. If other places were to be infected by the disease, it would be troublesome.

But many people simply couldn't understand why they were locked up in the city. They made trouble in front of the city lord's mansion, cursing the city lord and the miracle doctor. Because there was no specific plan to control them, they were repeatedly infected and many died of smallpox.

"I see." Meng Yin nodded thoughtfully, secretly complaining to Xia Nian: "It seems we have to be more ruthless."

Xia Nian nodded, she was thinking about something else.

After the city lord finished reading their decree, he stroked his beard and said, "Alas, this is all we can do. I didn't expect they would go so far as to use human sacrifices!"

He coughed violently twice, and it felt like there was an old waterwheel in his throat. It seemed that he was exhausted from this matter.

Xia Nian said: "This matter is not that simple."

Meng Yin took her arm and asked tentatively: "Niannian, do you think... there are bad people among the people?"

Xia Nian lowered his eyes slightly: "That's right, they didn't succeed today, and tonight is the best chance. So I have a plan. If they try again, we will catch them in the jar. If not, we won't suffer any loss."

"Niannian, you're worthy of me! You thought of it so quickly!" Xu Zheng said excitedly.

Xia Nian smiled at her and slowly told a few people the plan.

-

After half an hour, they began to act separately.

Meng Yin and Gu Ling, Xia Nian and Xia Hou Yu went to the east, west, south and north of the city respectively to distribute masks, rice, flour and other supplies.

Yiqing and Tao Tao arranged for horse-drawn carriages to take those infected with smallpox to tents that had been prepared long ago, in a huge open space in the city.

Pei Xuanxi and Xu Zheng led people to settle them down and recorded their beds and basic information. Su Xun also recorded their condition.

He held a pen and a notebook and asked doubtfully, "Pei Xuanxi, are you sure this plan will work?"

Xu Zheng was a little unconvinced. She folded her arms, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Of course we have. We have experienced it."

Su Xun's eyes dimmed immediately. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Miss Xu is really protecting him. I just asked a question."

Xu Zheng rolled her eyes and said, "You are obviously doubting us, okay?"

Pei Xuanxi interrupted at the right time: "A Zheng, don't be angry."

Su Xun shouted in dissatisfaction: "How can Miss Xu be angry?"

"Hey, can you please stop being so loud? There are patients here!" Xu Zheng frowned. She glanced at Pei Xuanxi and saw him hand the notebook to Xiao Di, then ran away with him.

"Tsk, this Su Xun, I wonder if he has a grudge against you, he's always picking on you." Xu Zheng said with some resentment.

Pei Xuanxi smiled gently and held her hand tightly: "Maybe he is a little dissatisfied with me."

Xu Zheng curled her lips: "Who cares."

-

Gu Ling and Meng Yin did not deliver the message door to door, but went to a more iconic location, and then had their subordinates pass on the message and post the requirements.

Each person must stand at least one meter apart and line up to receive items based on the number of people. If there are troublemakers or cheaters, they will be given ten strong beatings.

Meng Yin didn't want to do this at first, but when they sent the first round, those people rushed forward like crazy. Fortunately, they had many people with them and stopped them in time.

Gu Ling had no sympathy. In his opinion, these people were just looking for death by making trouble here. He pulled out two strong men and beat them with ten boards to serve as a warning to others.

Later, when they arrived at a place to distribute things, Meng Yin posted the notice on a wooden board. Considering for those who could not read, she specially arranged for someone to read it aloud.

Looking at the people queuing up neatly, Meng Yin nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly saw a very familiar person.

It was someone close to Gu Huai, she remembered his name was Xiao Ma.

"Gu Huai is also in Taoyuan City!?" Her eyebrows jumped and she muttered with her head down.

Thinking back to the last time he met him in Xiaoyao City, he was in pain from emotional problems and forgot for a moment that Gu Huai and Gu Ling had a conflict. He didn't notice anything wrong with Gu Huai, and he didn't do anything.

Why did he come to Taoyuan City? And the pony has come to collect the things, is he infected with smallpox! ?

She suddenly remembered Xia Nian's guess, and her pupils shrank suddenly. Could Gu Huai be the one stirring up trouble?

But if it was him, how could he let Xiao Ma come out to pick up the things? What if he was noticed by someone like her who knew Xiao Ma, he would be exposed.

Meng Yin glanced at the ponies still queuing, stopped thinking, walked to the men distributing things, and pretended to watch them distribute them.

When he got to Xiaoma, he actually pointed at the five or six children following behind him and said that they were all his family.

This statement shocked Meng Yin. If Xiao Ma had not been wearing the same clothes he wore when he worked for Gu Huai, she would have thought he had changed his career.

She turned her head to look at Gu Ling. He was standing with his back to her, listening to Lu Yun's report.

When she saw Xiao Ma receiving the goodies, she pretended to ask him about the identities of these children and took him aside.

"Good girl, these children... they don't have ID cards." Xiao Ma thought she was going to take these things back, and explained anxiously.

Meng Yin was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she was wearing a mask, revealing her eyes. Xiao Ma did not recognize her.

She coughed twice and asked, "Then why are they following you alone?"

Xiao Ma looked back at the children and explained, "It's my young master... When he came to Taoyuan City, he saw people bullying these children, so he saved them. Later, smallpox was rampant, and the young master had no choice but to leave them in the yard. My young master is weak, so he sent me to take the things..."

Meng Yin's heart was filled with waves, but she just raised her eyebrows. Gu Huai really came to Taoyuan City! Judging from Xiao Ma's tone, what he said should not be false.

"Well, where do you live?" Meng Yin asked. Afraid that he would overthink it, she added, "I'll send you some extra after the stuff is distributed."

Xiao Ma was stunned, a look of joy appeared on his still childish face. He gave the address and left with a few other children.

Meng Yin frowned and just as she turned around, she saw Gu Ling staring at her motionlessly with a pair of dark eyes.

She arched her brows, walked over to him and took his arm.

She decided to ask Gu Huai tonight.
