Chapter 136: Surrounding the County Government Office
Several people were trying to think of a solution in the yard, but they really had no idea and were all frowning.
Prince An said: "If it really doesn't work, then we will be powerless to suppress it."
Chen Qianhe said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The prince is originally here to provide disaster relief, and someone will have to report you when the time comes."
Wang Jingshan said, "Or let Yuyao leave and avoid the limelight."
Prince An said, "I'm afraid that won't work. We still need Doctor Jin to take care of the potion. Those people are simply not capable of doing that. You see, everything is thought up by Doctor Jin. I feel that Doctor Jin is our backbone."
Several people nodded.
Jin Yuyao didn't expect that these people had such a high opinion of her.
Wang Jingshan looked at Jin Yuyao's face, which showed no worry at all, and couldn't help asking, "Why aren't you anxious at all?"
Jin Yuyao said: "As long as you guys are anxious, I won't be anxious."
Prince An saw Jin Yuyao's calm expression and asked, "Doctor Jin have a solution?"
Jin Yuyao shook her head and said, "There's nothing we can do for now."
Wang Jingshan was puzzled and asked: "Then why are you so relaxed?"
Jin Yuyao said, "When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. We are all exhausted after a day. Let's see what happens tomorrow."
Prince An said, "I didn't expect Doctor Jin to be so open-minded. Let's talk about it tomorrow. We've all been tired today, so go to bed early. There will be more people staying at the county office tomorrow."
There was no other way for the time being, so Wang Jingshan and Jin Yuyao also entered the room.
Wang Jingshan said worriedly, "Yuyao, your current situation is very dangerous. I will stay with you forever, okay?"
Jin Yuyao said, "No need, at least not for the time being. I won't go out. They can't break into the county government office while I'm inside, right?"
Although Wang Jingshan was still worried after hearing this, he stopped talking when he saw Jin Yuyao's calm expression.
"Let us know if anything happens."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
The next day, Prince An and his companions were about to leave the county government office. Wang Jingshan looked back with some concern.
Jin Yuyao stood at the door and said, "Don't worry."
Kong Qing said jokingly, "Doctor Jin and his wife have such a good relationship. Seeing them so reluctant to part is really enviable."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Jin Yuyao and said, "Doctor Jin, my wife is coming to help you today. You can ask her to help you when the time comes."
Jin Yuyao nodded: "Okay."
Jin Yuyao watched everyone leave. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she heard someone calling her from behind.
He turned around and saw a woman looking at him with a smile.
Jin Yuyao looked very familiar and said, "You must be Kong Qing's wife."
Mrs. Kong walked towards her and said with a smile, "What's the use of Madam or not? Doctor Jin, just call me Liu Niang."
Liu Niang took Jin Yuyao's arm and walked into the government office.
Liu Niang said, "Doctor Jin, if you have any work to do, just let me do it. Don't be polite to me."
Jin Yuyao said, "Sixth Lady, someone should be coming to sell locusts soon. You can collect some."
Liu Niang readily agreed: "Then I'll help you first and then go when someone comes."
When Jin Yuyao went to get medicinal herbs, Liu Niang always followed her to help her and asked if she didn't understand anything.
Jin Yuyao was busy with her head down.
Liu Niang said, "Don't pay attention to what Doctor Jin says outside. They're all just rumors. There are actually some who understand."
Jin Yuyao said: "It's okay. I'm so busy all day that I really don't have time to care."
Liu Niang said, "Actually, most people's minds are as clear as a mirror. The potion we developed has killed many locusts in the past two days. It's obvious to everyone. I don't know which heartless person spread this rumor."
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "It must be that my existence has harmed the interests of others, otherwise it wouldn't be possible."
Liu Niang was puzzled. "You said you worked so hard all day and they still acted like this. Just thinking about it makes me feel that those people are incredible. It's really chilling. Why would they target a woman?"
Jin Yuyao said: "Because I am the only woman here, and I can make potions. Only when a woman has some ability will she be suspected and envied by others, and even want to destroy her."
Just as Liu Niang was about to say something, she saw someone coming to sell locusts. She said, "Doctor Jin, please take care of your business first. I'll go over there and take a look."
Jin Yuyao nodded and started to get busy again.
It wasn't long before I heard a commotion outside.
Jin Yuyao looked up but didn't see anything, so she continued to work on the herbs in her hand.
Liu Niang hurried over and said, "Doctor Jin, Doctor Jin is not well. Please leave quickly."
Jin Yuyao looked up at Liu Niang's anxious expression and asked, "Don't be anxious. Tell me slowly what happened."
Liu Niang grabbed Jin Yuyao and walked towards the backyard, saying, "Doctor Jin, let's talk as we walk.
It's like this, a lot of people came to the county government office just now, and some of them were imposters who came in, but they were driven out by those yamen runners. You should leave quickly through the back door, otherwise I see that there will be more and more people, what should we do if they break in?
I think those people are like evil spirits. If they come in, I’m really afraid they will hurt you.”
Jin Yuyao asked, "Is there no one at the back door now? Where will I go after I get out? Will they block me more easily on the road? If they do, I'll be dead and there will be no one to help me."
The two of them had already reached the backyard. Liu Niang stopped and said, "That seems to make sense. Doctor Jin is quite smart. So what do you think we should do?"
Jin Yuyao said, "They're here now probably because they know that not many people are coming to the county office these days. How about this? You go out the back door and find Prefect Chen and Prince An and ask them to bring their people back quickly."
Liu Niang readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he went out through an inconspicuous little door.
Jin Yuyao was pretending to be calm just now. She was surrounded by so many people and was asked to hand her over, so she still had to go out and face them.
But not now. I have to calculate the time. I can't be out for too long. I have to wait until King An and the others can come back. Otherwise, I will really be a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
Jin Yuyao walked to the front and stood behind the door, listening to the noise outside.
"Call out that person called Jin Yuyao. She is God's punishment for us. If we burn her to death, all this will be resolved. She is the culprit. Hand her over. Otherwise, we will never have peace."
Jin Yuyao felt that what they said was so creepy. Someone was taking advantage of people's ignorance and instigating them behind the scenes. She had clearly informed them about all kinds of locusts in the past few days, but it was of no use at all.
Jin Yuyao heard that the yamen runners were about to collapse.
Then she came out and said loudly: "Aren't you looking for me? I am Jin Yuyao."
