At this moment, Qin Ming's eyes suddenly felt sore when looking at Cheng Yaojin with a "kind" face in front of him.
He quickly lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"Nephew, thank you very much, Uncle Cheng."
Cheng Yaojin put his hand on Qin Ming's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Okay, tell me, what do you mean by taking refuge before?"
"Besides the Changsun family and the Gao family, which family wants to harm you?"
Qin Ming raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and then told the story from beginning to end about Tuyuhun's interception and killing of Taoist Sun yesterday, as well as the results of his subsequent interrogation.
Cheng Yaojin frowned upon hearing this.
After a long silence, Cheng Yaojin spoke:
"My dear nephew, you know that your aunt was born in the Cui family of Qinghe."
"Please let this matter go for now. When this matter is over, I will write a letter and ask your aunt to help inquire about it and find out which family is behind this matter."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Then there's Uncle Lao Cheng."
Qin Ming thought about it, and even Li Er couldn't do anything about the five surnames and Qi Wang.
If I want to single-handedly deal with the five surnames and Qi Wang, it is simply an idiot's dream, and it is no different from seeking death!
But if you can win over one or more families from the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, then it's not certain who will win.
Just as Qin Ming and Cheng Yaojin were lost in thought.
There were rapid footsteps outside the door. The two followed the sound, and then saw two figures stepping into the threshold.
Sun Simiao, who was wearing a Taoist robe, slapped Qin and Ming on the Taoist sect's head.
"Pindao has met the mountain chief and Duke Cheng."
Baili Zhi on the side then gave a blessing and said:
"The little girl pays homage to Duke Cheng."
Cheng Yaojin bowed to Sun Simiao in return and said:
"Cheng has seen a real person."
Qin Ming saw Bai Lizhi looking anxious and thought something big had happened, so he walked to Bai Lizhi and said doubtfully:
"Zhi'er, what happened?"
Baili Zhi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Sun Simiao flicking his fly whisk.
"Let Pindao do the talking."
Baili Zhi tugged at Sun Simiao's sleeve and said worriedly:
"Master."
Sun Simao waved his hand and then said to Cheng Yaojin:
"Pindao wants to go to the blockade area and treat those patients."
"Please also ask Cheng Guogong for permission."
Cheng Yaojin's face changed drastically when he heard this.
He also wanted Sun Daozhang to help appease the people in the city.
If Daochang Sun enters the blockade area and something goes wrong, wouldn't Lanzhou be in chaos?
"There are too many patients in the blockade area. If the real person makes any mistake, Cheng Mouwan will die without redemption!"
"Please, real person, think twice!"
Sun Simiao looked serious and asked:
"Cheng Guogong is blocking me like this, is he trying to destroy my path?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said doubtfully:
"Where did the real person start from saying this?"
Sun Simiao snorted coldly and said:
"I, a Taoist, have always cared about the world, and it is my duty to save the world."
"If a poor Taoist just watches the people suffer from illness, his Taoist heart will be stained with dust."
"Now, if you prevent Pindao from rescuing all people, you are destroying Pindao's practice and destroying my great path."
Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth when he heard this, but was speechless.
At the same time, he was complaining crazily in his heart.
[Can this also be related to spiritual practice? It is a great loss to Taoism that you always refuse to tell fortunes! ]
Qin Ming already understood what was going on.
Qin Ming knew very well that since Sun Simiao had arrived in Lanzhou, it was impossible to prevent him from entering the epidemic area.
Qin Ming was worried if Sun Simiao was allowed to go in alone, and he was also worried that Baili Zhi would go in with him.
Then, Qin Ming thought of two people.
In the current situation, no one is more suitable than the two of them.
Moreover, before Sun Simiao entered the epidemic area, there was still one very important thing that needed to be done.
That is to appease the people of Lanzhou City who are isolated at home.
Because Qin Ming knew that once the people in the city could not bear the pressure caused by isolation and the fear caused by the plague, riots would easily occur.
Once a riot breaks out, Lanzhou City will be doomed. If it is serious, it will even endanger the lives of everyone in the Qin Mansion.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming took two steps forward, walked to Sun Simiao, and advised:
"Dean Sun, you can't go to the blocked area yet. At the earliest, you won't be able to enter until noon tomorrow."
Sun Simiao frowned when he heard this and asked patiently:
"Shan Chief, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said:
"Now, in Lanzhou City, which is under lockdown, the people are in panic all day long, and a large number of people are on the verge of mental collapse."
"And as the city is closed for longer and longer, the psychological pressure on the people will increase."
"If they cannot be effectively comforted, once the people's spirits break down, they will either commit suicide or rise up to resist."
"At that time, Lanzhou is likely to become a hell on earth."
Cheng Yaojin trembled when he heard this, turned around, grabbed Qin Ming's arm, and asked excitedly:
"I have never mentioned these things to you, how do you know about them?"
"My dear nephew, since you can guess, is there a way to solve these problems?"
Qin Ming's heart tightened and he said anxiously:
"Are there many riots and suicides every day? How many riots occur every day? How many people participate? How many people commit suicide every day? Are there any statistics on these?"
Cheng Yaojin sighed and said:
"Lanzhou City is too big, and the soldiers under my command have to guard the major city gates."
"And there are only a limited number of soldiers who have been vaccinated against cowpox and can patrol the city. They are already exhausted just dealing with the daily riots."
"I can't allocate other manpower to count the casualties of the people."
Qin Ming's heart sank slightly.
He did not expect that the current situation in Lanzhou City had become so bad.
Qin Ming closed his eyes and kept recalling in his mind the various official comfort measures during the epidemic.
At this time, Sun Simiao also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Especially after Qin Ming fell into deep thought, Sun Simiao did not dare to speak again for fear of interrupting Qin Ming's train of thought.
For a moment, the sound of a pindrop could be heard in the hall.
Cheng Yaojin, Sun Simiao, and Baili Zhi stood quietly, their three pairs of eyes looking at the figure in white without blinking.
