Chapter 137 Bet

Jin Yuyao watched as the runners at the county government office walked out, unable to hold on any longer.

"Aren't you looking for me?"

The yamen runners looked at Jin Yuyao and said anxiously, "Doctor Jin, please go in quickly. We are here, and you can't make any mistakes. These people are guilty of trespassing into the county government office. Just stay in."

Jin Yuyao looked at the eight or ten yamen runners struggling to hold on and said, "If they come in without caring about anything, can you stop them?

The yamen runner was speechless. It was obvious that these people were rushing forward like crazy.

Jin Yuyao stood on the steps and shouted, "You say I'm a witch and that the locusts followed me, but why are there so many of them in places I haven't been to? You say I've incurred the wrath of Heaven. Let me ask you, if I were that powerful, why would you still dare to charge forward now?

I am just an ordinary doctor. If I had such great power, do you think you would still be standing here? If I want anyone to disappear, that person will disappear.

The group of people below were different from the previous ones. They simply didn't listen to what Jin Yuyao said and just wanted to burn her to death.

Jin Yuyao talked for a long time but the group acted as if they didn't hear anything.

It was also the first time she met someone who didn't listen to her.

When those people saw me, they flocked to me like bees to flowers.

Jin Yuyao looked at the excited crowd and wondered if Prince An and Prefect Chen would be back soon.

These yamen runners couldn't hold on for long. As more and more people came, not only themselves but also the people in the county government would be in danger.

Jin Yuyao was still thinking about what to do. No matter what, the locusts could not be killed and the common people were the ones suffering. Now they didn't even have their personal safety.

When Jin Yuyao was hesitating, she saw the figures of Prince An Chen Qianhe and Wang Jingshan in the distance, and Jin Yuyao instantly felt confident.

Only then did she calm down and look carefully at the crowd. There must be someone watching her. She had to let them develop in the direction she wanted, otherwise it would be out of control.

I wonder if this incident is caused by the same group of people as the one with the stone in the porridge last time?

When King An and his men were about to arrest someone, someone in the group continued to shout, "You brought locusts and you can't even let us speak. Do you have any sense of justice?"

Come and see, this is outrageous! You actually want to arrest us and not let us speak. You dog officials don’t care about our lives at all.”

Jin Yuyao saw that the anger of the people at the scene had been aroused. If she suppressed it by force, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

She saw that the scene had been set, and if it didn't work, she would let them take him away. There's no getting away from the tiger without going into the tiger's den, and who knows, she might even be able to find the person behind it.

Jin Yuyao was observing the crowd carefully, and one man caught her attention.

The man was walking in the middle of the crowd. His eyes and overall temperament were different from those of the people next to him.

The person who had been making noise should be a nearby villager, but his skin did not look as sunburned as theirs, and his eyes revealed a shrewd look, not like someone who had been working for a long time.

At this time, Prince An and Chen Qianhe had already taken control of the situation.

Wang Jingshan nervously ran to Jin Yuyao and asked, "How is Yuyao? Are you hurt? Let me take a look."

Jin Yuyao said: "You came just in time. I'm fine."

She said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet. Aren't you all doubting that I brought the locusts? How about you send a representative up here so we can make a bet?"

The people below were whispering, "What kind of bet do you think he wants to make?"

"I don't know. Can this woman's words be trusted?"

"How can you trust a woman's words?"

Prince An asked quietly, "Doctor Jin, what do you want to do?"

Jin Yuyao said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't put myself in danger. This matter must be resolved, otherwise we won't be able to move forward. We can't leave, nor can we leave the majority of the people alone. We can only move forward."

Prince An nodded helplessly.

Chen Qianhe also said at this time: "We will support whatever decision Doctor Jin makes, but the premise is that you must protect yourself."

Kong Qing looked at Jin Yuyao and said, "Doctor Jin, you are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with them. Most people are good. Please don't abandon us."

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Master Kong is really worrying too much. Although I am not a man, I will do things from beginning to end. I just hope that this matter can be resolved perfectly, otherwise I will have to die here."

Kong Qing said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, Doctor Jin, I will protect you even if it costs me my life."

Jin Yuyao's eyes were slightly red as she said, "It's worth it for me to have you say this."

Jin Yuyao turned to the group of troublemakers and said, "Have you made your choice? If you have, we can talk face to face."

The people below were all talking in low voices, but no one came up.

She turned and looked at the man in the crowd.

He was looking down, thinking about something.

Jin Yuyao looked at the man and thought that since he didn't react, the person behind him probably wasn't prepared for this kind of meeting.

They probably thought that surrounding the county government office and forcing the government to hand them over was a dead end. If they didn't hand them over, the government would lose the support of the people. If they did, there would be nothing they could do about the locust plague.

At this time, five people stood up.

Jin Yuyao looked at those people, including the man she had noticed.

She observed the four men and saw that they were all strong and muscular, and looked like farmers. Only that one man was a little different.

The five men said, "What do you want to say to them?"

Jin Yuyao said, "It's too crowded and noisy here, how about we talk inside?"

The shrewd-looking man said, "Let's talk here. We're worried it'll be easier to get in than to get out."

Jin Yuyao laughed and said, "This big brother is really cautious, but this is not a stronghold but a government office. You haven't committed any crime, so what are you afraid of?"

Those people began to whisper.

Kong Qing said, "Why weren't you afraid when there was trouble? Why weren't you afraid when the county government forced us to hand over Doctor Jin? Several men were afraid when they entered the government office."

The man made up his mind and said, "What are we afraid of? We don't steal or rob. We'll just go in. There are so many people watching us. I don't believe we can't get out in public. I think the lords and princes should have no reason to detain innocent people."

Kong Qing said: "We are not as shameless as you people."

Jin Yuyao, the five people, Chen Qian, Prince An and Wang Jingshan came to the conference room.

Everyone sat down, and King An took the main seat.

At first it was very quiet and no one spoke.

King An asked, "What are your names?"

"Commoner Wang Xiaoshui, commoner Zhang Huai, commoner Zhao Qing, commoner Qian Laowu, commoner Sun Xiaoer."

Jin Yuyao heard them say their names and found out that the man's name was Zhang Huai.

She asked, "Can any of you read?"

The other four said they didn't know, only Zhang Huai said, "I've read a few books."
