People around gathered together, wondering what had happened.
The doctors from the Welfare Bureau also stopped and gathered around with the mentality of watching a show.
"Princess, what happened to Lord Su? Why are you tying him up?" Villager Li Fu stepped forward and asked.
Zi'an didn't answer and continued to drag him out.
When Su Mu's soldiers saw him being dragged by Zi'an, they also surrounded him, but as they always respected Zi'an, they did not dare to step forward and offend him.
Only when they saw that Su Mu was almost strangled to death did a soldier come forward to stop him, "Princess, Lord Su is almost out of breath. Please let him go. Let's talk it over."
Zi'an stood still and looked at the people who gathered around him. In the west district, Liu Liu and others also looked at him in surprise. She loosened the scar rope slightly to allow Su Mu to breathe.
Then, she looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Your Lord Su thinks that I came to Beimo not to treat you sincerely, but to provoke a war and continue the war between the two countries. I want to ask everyone, how many people here have the same guess about me as Lord Su?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the place suddenly became lively.
But they did not blame Su Mu, because since the earthquake, Su Mu has been stationed here to help with disaster relief, and everyone is very grateful to him.
However, he also helped persuade Su Mu, saying that the princess did not have such thoughts.
Li Fu said to Su Mu, "Sir Su, I have always respected you and the princess. Although I don't understand anything, I have been with the princess for a few days and I feel that she is a good person and will never have any ill intentions."
Su Mu's breathing became smoother. Seeing Zi'an stirring up the emotions of the crowd, he became even more angry. After listening to Li Fu's words, he said, "Don't be fooled by her. She is the one who caused panic in Beimo. Has the prescription she gave cured anyone so far? No one. The bodies in the West District are carried out day by day. Has anyone been cured?"
This is the truth. Indeed, Zi'an has not cured a single patient so far.
However, the condition of the other two people who were moved away has stabilized but they are still not getting better.
However, the people's minds are very simple. They have witnessed with their own eyes how hard Zi'an has worked in the past few days, so Su Mu's words did not make anyone doubt Zi'an.
The village chief said, "Master Su, this epidemic is so fierce that even so many doctors can't cure it. We really can't rush this matter."
The doctors at the Huimin Office were a little unhappy when they heard what the village chief said. One of them came out and said, "She is a miracle doctor specially invited by the emperor from the Great Zhou. How can we compare with her? But after this miracle doctor came, she moved two people in, but she didn't find any way to treat the plague. Instead, she gave a prescription that said it could strengthen the body and detoxify the body. But what's the use? If she can't cure the disease, everything is in vain."
Zi'an remained silent, just staring at the man and letting them continue talking.
The words of the doctor from Huimin Office were like a thorn piercing the hearts of the villagers. Indeed, wasn't she a miracle doctor? Why had she not developed any prescriptions after coming to Muzhai for so long
Every day, sick patients were carried out, and they were only told to exterminate rats and insects. What did the disease have to do with rats and insects? If a person was sick, it couldn't be caused by rats, right
Therefore, everyone was whispering in private, and the looks they gave Zian were filled with suspicion and complexity.
The old village chief had seen a lot of things. He came out and stretched out his hand to calm them down. "Everyone, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
The old village chief was a man of high esteem, and when he came out, everyone quieted down.
The old village chief coughed and said, "Although the princess has not cured anyone since she came here, but these few days, the number of people infected is much less than before, right? In the past, at least four or five people in our village were infected every day, and hundreds or even thousands of people died in half a month. But since the princess came and gave us medicine, only one person in our Muzhai has been infected in four days. Is this the credit of the princess? In addition, the two patients who were moved to the ward have not died yet, and their conditions have stabilized. It can be seen that although the princess's prescription cannot be cured immediately, it is also effective. I believe that if the princess is given more time, she will definitely find a way to treat the epidemic. Our Muzhai is already like this, how bad can it be? Don't be suspicious. If Da Zhou and Bei Mo really want to fight, just fight directly. Why send the princess here? Doesn't this give us Bei Mo a handle?"
The fact that the village chief of this mountain village could say such words really impressed Zi'an.
However, it is not surprising, because Muzhai and the Qin family are married, and one can always learn something from them.
As soon as the old village chief said this, everyone's doubts disappeared.
However, this made Su Mu even more anxious and angry, because he felt that everyone believed Xia Zian. This was her goal, and she achieved it.
He was anxious and was about to speak when the scar rope was suddenly tightened, making him unable to make any sound and he could only breathe slightly.
Zi'an suddenly let go of Su Mu, wrapped the scar rope back around his arm, and said, "In this wooden village, I am not the princess of the Great Zhou. I am just a doctor. Treating epidemic diseases is my job. I know that Lord Su does not believe me and thinks that I am exaggerating the condition, but I tell you, any unwarranted and malicious suspicion will pay a huge price for it. If you think I am exaggerating the condition, then please open your eyes and go and see if the plague in Qicheng, Luoxian, and Ancheng has begun to spread significantly. Don't believe the numbers they present, go there yourself."
"Didn't you say I couldn't go down the mountain? Why are you letting me go now? The princess's words are really funny, they're all mixed up." After Su Mu was released, he took a few deep breaths, and after hearing Zi'an's words, he quickly refuted.
Zi'an looked at him, "That's right. I didn't let you go down the mountain at first because I was afraid that you would be infected. In this wooden village, if I want to carry out my work, I must rely on you, Lord Su, because I don't have the manpower. If you and I become suspicious of each other and don't cooperate, the villagers and patients will be hurt. I know you have no bad intentions, but you are full of passion and love for the country and the people. Otherwise, I will kill you today."
Su Mu sneered, "Princess, you are so arrogant. Kill me? I'm afraid you can't do it. Even if the Regent is still here, it's not so easy to kill me."
Zi'an stared at him, then curled his lips into a smile and patted Scar Cloth. Scar Cloth flew straight out, brushed past Su Mu's ear, and then flew to a jujube tree behind him. In just a moment, the jujube tree suddenly fell down, and all its branches and leaves fell apart.
It happened in just a moment, and the date tree turned into dead branches and leaves. Everyone present was so shocked that they were speechless.
Su Mu's face also changed suddenly, he could hardly believe his eyes. He walked over, squatted down and touched the branches and leaves, then wanted to pick up the Scar Rope, but the Scar Rope flew up with a whoosh and wrapped itself around his arm.
This move was even more shocking.
