The governor Cheng Yu was walking anxiously in the mansion, his brows frowned and his face was heavy.

Cheng Yu said to his subordinates helplessly: "What should I do? So many people are sick and the medicinal materials are in short supply. I am really helpless!" His voice was filled with fatigue and helplessness.

The subordinate comforted him: "Sir, you don't have to blame yourself too much, this may be just an accident."

Cheng Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and murmured to himself: "Is it because I did something wrong? God wants to punish me?" His eyes were full of confusion and confusion.

On the streets of Qingzhou, people looked frightened and whispered, with their faces full of worries.

Many people flocked to the temple and prayed devoutly, hoping to receive the blessing of the gods.

At this moment, a Taoist priest appeared on a street. He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, shouting loudly: "Come and buy my talismans! Please avoid being infected with the plague!" His face was filled with a confident smile.

People gathered around and asked in a verbal voice: "Can we really avoid the plague?"

"How to sell this talisman?"

The Taoist priest said proudly: "Of course it's true! As long as you buy my talisman, the plague will never dare to approach!"

When Cheng Yu learned about this, his face became very serious, and he frowned and said, "It's simply nonsense! This kind of deceiving the people must be banned immediately!"

He immediately summoned his subordinates and ordered: "Go and bring that Taoist priest here, don't let him cheat again!"

The subordinates took the order and left.

On the street, the Taoist priest watched more and more people come to buy his talismans, and his smile became brighter and he said proudly: "Haha, I'm making a fortune now!"

However, at this moment, the people from the governor's mansion came and shouted loudly: "Stop! Don't buy this Taoist talisman anymore!"

Seeing this, the Taoist priest changed his face and retorted angrily: "I can cure the plague, why should I stop me? Don't you want the people to be saved?" His eyes revealed dissatisfaction and doubt.

The people from the governor's office said seriously: "This is the order of the governor! You must leave immediately, otherwise there will be a prison disaster!"

But the people didn't buy it and started yelling.

"What's the reason for the people in the governor's house? Now God has brought down the plague, it must be the governor who did the wrong thing!"

"That's right, we finally had a Taoist priest to help us, how could we treat him like this?"

People's faces were full of anger and incomprehension, and some even rolled up their sleeves and were eager to try.

Seeing this, the people from the governor's mansion quickly persuaded him: "Everyone calm down, the governor will naturally have his considerations..."

However, before they could finish their words, they were drowned out by the voices of the masses.

At this time, the angry people became more and more excited. They surrounded the people from the governor's mansion, pushed them, and kept cursing.

"Go aside! We just want to buy Taoist priests' talismans!"

"Don't interfere with our lives!"

The people's faces were full of anger and resentment. Some even raised their fists and were about to hit the people from the governor's mansion.

The people from the governor's mansion seemed very helpless, and they frowned and tried to explain.

"Don't be impulsive, this is the order of Lord Governor!"

"We are just on orders, please calm down."

Their voices were filled with anxiety and grievance, but they did not dare to resist too much.

One of the people from the governor's mansion couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Mr. Cheng has given instructions, you must not attack the common people casually. What should I do now?"

The other person sighed: "Oh, I can only bear it first, and I hope they can calm down as soon as possible."

The people from the governor's mansion returned to the mansion in a mess with injuries on their bodies.

They reported the incident to Cheng Yu dejectedly, their tone full of grievances.

"Sir, we will prohibit the people from buying the Taoist talismans according to your order, but not only do they not listen, but also attack us. We really have no choice."

"Yes, sir, we are all injured, what should we do?"

Their faces showed pain and helpless expressions, hoping to get Cheng Yu's understanding and support.

Cheng Yu listened to their words, frowned and sighed, "Forget it, you guys go down first."

A hint of fatigue and helplessness were revealed in his voice.

After his subordinates stepped down, Cheng Yu sat alone on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows, and said to himself: "That Taoist may be lying, but the people are willing to believe it, so what can I do? Now that the plague is raging, I am already in a state of anxiety. I really don't know what to do to save the people of Qingzhou."

His eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness, as if he had lost his direction.

Although Xi Yu was anxious, he also needed to proceed step by step and stayed in the inn that night.

Xi Yu's face was full of anxiety, but he still tried hard to calm himself down.

He walked to the inn shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there anyone nearby who has suffered a plague?

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at Xi Yu and replied in confusion: "I have never heard of someone nearby who is suffering from a plague. Why did the guest ask this?"

"Nothing, I just ask casually."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. Our area has always been safe and I have never heard of any plague."

Xi Yu breathed a little relieved, but his heart was still hanging in his heart and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper, do you know if there are any special places or crowds nearby that may be at risk of being infected with the plague?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and replied, "I don't know much about this."

Xi Yu forced himself to order some food. His eyes were wandering and he had no appetite. He was fiddling with chopsticks in his hands unconsciously.

The shopkeeper noticed Xi Yu's abnormality and asked with concern: "Customer, I think you seem to have something to worry about. I don't know what happened? If you can trust me, you might as well say it out loud. Maybe I can help you."

Xi Yu shook his head gently, showed a wry smile on his face, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, it's just my business, you may not be able to help."
