Huang Yu seemed to be intimidated by Su Mu's expression. He only felt that although the person in front of him was only a young man, his words seemed to be so convincing that he finally died down.No text.

Seeing that his mood had stabilized, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. If the guards wanted to let him go out, even if he and Lu Lingjue were here, it wouldn't help. Now it seems that Huang YuAlthough quite critical, but will not disobey Du Han's order.

And as time passed, the people at the gate of the city gradually became restless. Some people began to call on the tower, asking when the gate would be opened, but the people guarding the tower neither answered nor opened the door, which made their emotions even worse.Governed by a great panic.

I don’t know which baby’s baby cried for the first time, as if sparks fell into the haystack, someone began to sob softly, and the sadness spread, becoming a prairie fire.

"Let us out! Open the city gate!" Some people rushed to the tower at first, but were stopped by soldiers.

But then the rest of the people also rushed up. They called the rest of the people at the gate of the city, trying to break through the iron wall made of copper armor.

"Let us out! We don't want to die here!"

"Let's get out, General!"

"General Huang—"

Huang Yu, who was in the room, suddenly became anxious again when he heard the words. He never heard the people crying, and now he was scratching his heart and lungs. In a blink of an eye, he saw Su Mu start to go out.

"What are you doing?" He stood up and called out to Su Mu.

Su Mu paused, turned around and replied, "Tell them that the city gate will not be opened today."

His voice was calm and unwavering, as if he took it for granted.

Huang Yu was not as calm as this, and roared in a low voice: "If you say that, aren't you afraid of becoming the target of their attack?"

Su Mu didn't react after hearing this, but said, "Someone needs to be this person."

His hand gently caressed the badge on his waist, but his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

He is not afraid.

Just knowing it has to be done.

Before Huang Yu could continue to refute, he raised his legs and walked outside. Lu Lingjue, who had been in the room for a long time, came to his senses and quickly followed Su Mu out the door.

Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then followed him out of the door.

Su Mu stood on the city wall, from here he could look down at the huddled and chaotic crowd, he could see the crying little girl hiding behind her mother, he could see the blushing middle-aged man fighting with the guards,You can even see the old man standing in the corner with a pale face and wiping tears. They are all ordinary people in Jiangzhou City.

Su Mu only felt that the burden on his heart made him almost unable to speak, as if he wanted to drag him into the abyss.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Lu Lingjue walked to his side, and he could also see all kinds of people in front of the city gate. He reached out and tugged Su Mu's sleeve hesitantly.

"Yu Zhi, why don't you just forget it..." He glanced at the guards and soldiers who were confronting the people below the city, and felt that it was more terrifying than anything he had experienced before, and even his voice trembled, "SomeoneHuang Yu and the others are here, the city gate will not be opened today, we still—"

Su Mu shook his head lightly. He wasn't afraid that the city gate would be lost, but he just couldn't bear the fact that the people felt that they had been forgotten and abandoned because the city gate was not open, and gave up on themselves in despair.

There are still people standing up for the city.

"Everyone!" Su Mu finally suppressed all kinds of worries in his heart, and shouted down. The condescending geographical location made his voice seem to be amplified many times, and he opened a way among the noisy voices. PeopleThey all looked at him.

All eyes focused on him, which made Su Mu feel more choked up in his throat.

"Today, this city gate will not be opened." He mobilized all his strength to say these words with great difficulty, "Everyone, please go back."

These words seemed to explode a drop of water in the frying pan, causing everyone's emotions to explode.

Some people wailed, some cried helplessly, and more people questioned him.

"Why!"

"Why don't you let us out!"

"Let's get out! We are waiting to die here!"

Countless voices flooded into Su Mu's ears, causing his eardrums to hurt constantly.

A child had never seen such a scene before, and screamed bursts, and the scene lost control for a moment, Huang Yu sullenly ordered more people to go down the city wall to stop the restlessness of the people below.

"This is not waiting for death!" Su Mu took a step closer, leaning almost half of his body on the city wall, "Please think about it, now that you are in the city, there are still many medical treatment places arranged by the governor, and there are many other medical treatment places."All kinds of protective measures, and someone will come to tell you where people around you are infected with the disease."

"If any of you have already contracted this disease, what will you do if you get sick after leaving the city?" The voice of the people below was a little softer, Su Mu took a deep breath, and continued, "You may feel that fleeing Jiangzhou CityIt is the best destination, but if the disease spreads outside the city, even though the world is big, there will be a day when it will spread, then where can you escape to?"

"Even if this is the case, it will be many years later." Someone retorted loudly, "If we stay in the city, within a few days, even if we don't die of disease, we will starve to death because of lack of food!"

"You officials are in high positions and don't seek jobs, so why do you want to prevent us from finding another way of life?"

"If you want to leave, there is nothing to stop you. Leave us in the city, but one day you will run away yourself!"

These questions were like sharp knives piercing straight into his heart, making Su Mu almost breathless.

That's right, if he didn't discover it in time, Jiang Prefecture might not be so difficult.

An overwhelming sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him, making him even less sure how to speak.Seeing his ugly expression, Lu Lingjue was about to drag him into the room before talking, but she didn't expect Su Mu to raise his head, still with an extremely firm expression.

"We won't leave." He stared straight at the people in the city, and said every word, "Jiangzhou City will not be cured, and we will never leave. There is indeed a shortage of food in the city, but please ask everyoneI believe that we will definitely find a way to ensure your food and clothing.”

"Jiangzhou City is your hometown. I believe that even if you want to leave now, you will eventually feel reluctant to let go."

The weeping under the city gate became louder. For Jiangzhou people who have settled down for several generations, leaving their hometown was never a kind of torture. If they had no choice, who would be willing to leave.

"Jiang Prefecture still needs you to stay."

Some people began to waver.

The raging epidemic made them afraid to go out easily, and the lack of food was what scared them the most. Now this young man standing on a tall building told them that this problem would be solved.

While comforting the young child, a woman persuaded her husband beside her: "Let's go back, the gate of the city will not be opened. If this adult can really distribute food for us, we will stay at home all day.If you don’t go out, you probably won’t catch the disease.”

"Yeah, they are officials from Capital City, so their words must carry a lot of weight."

This kind of voice began to spread. In fact, the common people knew how they could compete with the soldiers defending the city with their own abilities. Su Mu's words only calmed down their deepest fears and told them that the government did notDid not give up on them.

People left one after another, the chaos at the gate of the city disappeared with various sighs, and the tinnitus in Su Mu's ears also eased a little. Only then did he realize that his back was already covered in cold sweat.

"Let's go." When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse and disfigured. He could only cough lightly and cleared his throat, "We need to solve the food problem first. I have discussed with Du Cishi before.Before reinforcements from the imperial court arrived and the city could no longer sustain itself, we first asked the surrounding counties for help."

Lu Lingjue was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. This is indeed a solution, but it is still difficult to raise so much food in a short period of time. Jiangzhou City is the most affluent place around. Although the county seat has not been affected, the county government ownsThe food is also limited, and don't know if can help Jiangzhou survive this.

Su Mu naturally knew what Lu Lingjue was worried about, but now this was the most helpless way. The inventory of the Jiang Prefecture government office was already in a hurry. If the people were not appeased, it would definitely cause a bloody storm in the city.

"This matter needs to be done as soon as possible, so General Huang also needs to send someone to help." Su Mu stood still in front of Huang Yu, and bowed lightly, "It's about the life and death of the people, so I ask General Huang to agree."

Witnessing Su Mu's actions just now, Huang Yu had to admit that his wariness towards him had already eased a lot. This young man seemed to be different from those high-ranking people, and he was really thinking about the people of Jiang Prefecture.Naturally, there is no reason to refuse.

After returning to the government office to inform Du Han, the latter also quickly drafted several official documents to the magistrates of other counties, while Su Mu asked Lu Lingjue to accompany the soldiers and officials of the government office, in order to prevent anyone from interferingAlthough Lu Lingjue was only of the eighth rank, he was an official of the imperial court with the badge of Dali Temple, and he was quite intimidating to the local officials. Second, Su Mu had also seen the speed of Lu Lingjue's journey, and he should be able to make the time spent traveling with him.The days are shortened a lot.

Lu Lingjue was still a little reluctant to leave, but after Su Muzai analyzed the situation carefully for him, he also agreed, and set off with others without much rest.

As soon as they left, Su Mu didn't rest, but began to investigate the reason for the sudden spread of the disease today.When the incident first came out, he had some vague guesses. After questioning a few people who had suddenly contracted the disease, he was almost sure of what he was thinking. His face sank, and he led people to the Wang family's house.

Long ago, Du Han had posted arrest warrants all over the city to arrest Silla, but there was no news of it. Now it seems that someone deliberately concealed Silla's whereabouts, which led to today's catastrophe.

Su Mu felt that his sanity was gradually being swallowed by anger. Silla hated Jiangzhou City, but the royal family had multiplied in Jiangzhou City for several generations. How could they harm innocent people in the city like this?

When he reached the door, before he knocked, someone ran out in a panic and knocked him back.

"There are ghosts! There are ghosts! There are ghosts!" The boy's face was pale, and when he saw a few yamen servants standing behind Su Mu, he knew that this was an adult in the mansion. He knelt down and said repeatedly, "Master, my lordSecond Young Master is possessed by a ghost!"

Gently kneel down, it seems to be late again
