Qi Wang repeated what he had just said, his voice more choked.

He didn't mean to play the victim in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but this was where Chen Jiayang lived now.

Without waiting for Xie Ming to continue, Qi Wang continued, "Actually, this house should have been abandoned long ago, but it was still raining in Yancheng the day before His Highness came here. If he doesn't come back here, he will have nowhere to go."

Chen Jiayang's clinic had collapsed long ago. If it weren't for his clinic still standing, he would have to live in this dilapidated little house that was about to collapse, just like Chen Jiayang.

Xie Ming looked at the small house in front of him and glanced at Yun Shu.

Yun Shu quickly realized what Xie Ming meant, strode in and knocked on the closed door.

In fact, his action was not rough, he just used a little force, but he didn't expect that the door was so fragile. As soon as his hand moved, the door fell back directly.

There was a loud bang on the ground.

The people in the house were frightened by the sudden noise, thinking that something had happened to the door again. They were about to cry and call their husbands, but they saw a tall and strong man behind the door.

The aura emanating from the other person was terrifying, and he was holding a long sword in his other hand.

At first glance, you can tell that this man has killed someone.

Seeing this, the woman's face immediately showed a look of horror. She hugged the sleeping child tightly and shouted, "My dear, someone is coming to rob us!"

Her voice was shrill and had a hint of crying in it. Although she was obviously very scared, she still held the sleeping child tightly in her arms.

Chen Jiayang, who was reading a medical book, stood up immediately when he heard his wife's cry and ran out the door, holding a wooden stick as thick as his wrist in his hand, and stood in front of his wife.

Although his voice was trembling, he was extremely firm. "What do you want to do? If you want to rob me, then, just step over my dead body!"

Seeing his good friend living like this, Qi Wang felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He took a few steps forward and stood beside Yun Shu. "Brother Chen, these aren't bandits out to rob you. These are guards from the Crown Prince's household."

His voice was drawn out and carried a hint of melancholy, as if he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Taking the wooden stick from Chen Jiayang's hand, Qi Wang began to slowly explain the current situation.

The process was quick. Qi Wang explained the situation in the simplest terms and finally asked Chen Jiayang, "So, are you willing to join His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in saving the people of Yancheng?"

Chen Jiayang was a man who cared little more than a teacher. Upon hearing Qi Wang's words, he simply gave a wry smile, his voice filled with fatigue he couldn't conceal. "I don't have the heart to save the world right now. You can see... I can barely support my wife and children, so how can I even think of saving the residents of Yancheng?"

When Qi Wang heard Chen Jiayang's first words, his face was filled with shock, but when he heard the rest, the shock on his face gradually faded away, leaving only a look of sadness.

This is not just about him. Aren’t the other dozen or so doctors in Yancheng just like the Chen family?

If this were not the case, why would Chen Jiayang bother looking for an antidote to cure dementia?

Isn't it just for that little bit of money?

Seeing that his persuasion was about to fail, Xie Ming, the protagonist of this trip, finally spoke up, "I will pay you to treat the people of Yancheng."

Xie Ming's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it successfully reached everyone's ears.

Chen Jiayang and Qi Wang, who originally had sad faces, had unprecedented light in their eyes after hearing these words.

Did they hear it correctly?

What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is prepared to spend money to ask them to treat the people in Yancheng?

If that's the case... isn't that just a matter of each taking what they need?

But Xie Minggui was the crown prince, and he came to Yancheng by imperial order. He could clearly give them direct orders, and if they did not obey, he would punish them severely, or simply kill them as a warning to others. Anyone who dared not obey his orders would be tied up or killed.

If Xie Ming really did this, even if they were unwilling to treat him, they would still take action for the sake of their own lives and those of their families.

But Xie Ming took the most humane step.

He was willing to pay them to treat the people of Yancheng.

This was obviously the most reasonable thing to do, but coming from Xie Ming's mouth... from the mouth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was so shocking.

Qi Wang had no intention of taking money from Xie Ming from the beginning. He was willing to pay for the people of Yancheng.

But not everyone can do the same as him.

Just like the Chen family.

So when he heard what Chen Jiayang said, he was not too surprised.

Everyone wanted to leave and find the next friend. They asked one by one and there was always someone willing to go.

But Xie Ming's sudden words completely disrupted his plans.

Give, give money?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually planning to pay them to do something?

Seeing the two men looking as if they had seen a ghost, Shen Chu couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong? Don't you think His Highness didn't intend to pay from the beginning?"

There was a smile in her voice, no surprise at all.

Xie Ming clearly never mentioned whether he would pay these doctors for their services, but she acted as if she already knew. She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "Even if it's His Highness, so what? He'll still pay."

"But Your Highness must have thought of this a long time ago. It's not because of Doctor Chen's refusal that you suddenly decided to do this, right, Your Highness?"

As she was speaking, she suddenly looked at Xie Ming with a bright smile on her face.

Facing Shen Chu's smile, Xie Ming nodded slightly, but did not respond to Shen Chu's words. Instead, he said, "I never told you. How did you know?"

He was asking Shen Chu.

Xie Ming wanted to know whether Shen Chu said this on purpose or really thought so.

This is very important to him.

Who would have thought that Shen Chu just tilted his head when he heard his words, "Does Your Highness need to tell me this? Even if I use the slightest bit of my imagination, I can guess that Your Highness will definitely do this."

"Your Highness came to Yancheng for the sake of the people of Yancheng. Whether it's Doctor Chen or Doctor Qi, they are all citizens of Yancheng. Although treating the people of Yancheng is doing things for the people of Yancheng, it is also doing things for Your Highness."

"Since they are working for His Highness, shouldn't His Highness give them corresponding compensation?"

Shen Chu's amber eyes opened wide and looked at Xie Ming quietly, waiting for Xie Ming's answer.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no other sound except everyone's breathing.

Under Shen Chu's gaze, Xie Ming let out a short laugh, then suddenly reached out and pulled Shen Chu towards him, his voice gentle. "Yeah, it's my duty."
