Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Chu Yuntian Officially Resigns as
Just half a Shichen later, news that even the Imperial Physician was helpless against the epidemic had spread throughout Longnan County Governnt.
Following that, Chu Yuntian appeared at the entrance of the Governor's Office and introduced to the people his recurring old illness and how Qi Yue had treated him, while he vehently denounced Feng Liang.
His exact words were:
"I have always held Feng Liang in high esteem, but who knew he would seize power while I was ill and even fra Miss Qi. You all saw it, Miss Qi has stayed in Longnan and did not leave; she entered the city when Longnan County Governnt was in dire straits. If it really were her doing, she wouldn't have bothered showing up only to provoke a villain like Feng Liang! To speak unpleasantly, with Miss Qi's character and ability, would she really need to go to such lengths if she were involved in this?"
"... The truth is, it was Feng Liang who truly sought to seize control of Longnan County Governnt. He has treacherous ambitions and had long aligned with the treacherous Pri Minister, aiming to oust . My fellow villagers, to tell the truth, ten years ago, this Longnan County Governnt was indeed the Great General's. If he had not died, such a great calamity would never have befallen our Longnan County Governnt! My fellow villagers, Feng Liang has betrayed us; can we still allow him to continue controlling Longnan County Governnt?"
The people were enraged.
"No!!"
"No!!"
"No!!"
All the people were enraged!
They angrily broke through the soldiers blocking the way and rushed toward the Governor's Office to confront Feng Liang.
At that ti, Feng Liang was discussing with other officials how to handle the subsequent matters when he learned that the people had burst in and ordered the soldiers to charge forth and assassinate them.
Hei Lie, who had already placed people among the crowd, imdiately shouted upon seeing this.
"Do not shed blood; the blood of the people can spread the disease!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers imdiately dropped their spears and knives.
Those already positioned among the people also started to shout.
"Fellow villagers, why should only we get sick? They should too!"
"Charge, kill the corrupt officials!"
"Charge, drown them with spit..."
The already agitated crowd, upon this incitent, beca like a weapon loaded with explosives, furiously charging at the soldiers at the entrance of the Governor's Office.
The soldiers, fearing being infected and turning into Frozen n, all retreated repeatedly, and so clever ones simply fled.
With no one to stop them, the angry people broke into the Governor's Office and surged into the main hall.
Little did they know that Feng Liang and the others had already been inford and had fled from the backyard.
The people took over the Governor's Office and started discussing inviting Chu Yuntian to take charge.
Soon, soone went to invite Chu Yuntian, hoping he would regain control of the situation.
However, Chu Yuntian did not co; it was Tan Cheng who arrived, bringing the Governor's Seal and a letter of resignation.
"From today onward, Chu Yuntian officially resigns from the position of Governor of Longnan, handing it over to soone capable of rescuing Longnan County Governnt!"
After Tan Cheng finished reading the letter of resignation, he left the Governor's Office.
This left the crowd puzzled and they began to discuss among themselves.
"Does Lord Chu an he is also powerless to save us?"
"Yes, if even Lord Chu can't manage, then who can!"
"Of course, there is soone, think about it—our Longnan County Governnt does have a remarkable person!"
"Who?"
"Who else but the genius War God, Zhao Xiyan!"
"Right, right, right, Lord Zhao previously defeated the people from Donggao and saved us!"
"I heard that Lord Zhao and the Divine Doctor are now married, as long as he controls the Longnan County Governnt, the Divine Doctor will also forgive us, she'll definitely save us!"
"Yes, that's right, let's hurry and ask Lord Zhao to take over the Governor Seal!"
"...."
In reality, the thoughts of the common people were very simple.
No matter who controlled the Longnan County Governnt, as long as they had food, drink, and a sense of security, it was enough.
What did it matter whether they rebelled or felt awkward about their identity?
At that mont, they only thought of Zhao Xiyan's formidable combat power and Qi Yue's superb dical skills!
Thus, with Chu Yuntian's groundwork laid beforehand, and with Hei Lie's people secretly guiding, events quickly moved in the expected direction.
However, they obviously overlooked one person, and that was the fleeing Feng Liang.
Knowing that the situation was dire, he imdiately rode to the new military camp, followed by so officials as well.
Upon arriving at the camp, he took over the entire camp in the na of Pri Minister Lin.
Stationed within The Great Wall in the new military camp were no less than one hundred eighty thousand new recruits.
The camp also had enough provisions and money for a year, all previously levied by Hu Keqing, which had angered the people of Longnan at the ti.
As Feng Liang inspected warehouse after warehouse and the soldiers in training, he was exceedingly exhilarated!
Now all this belonged to him!
He imdiately wrote a letter and dispatched a ssenger soldier to the Capital City.
"Make sure to speed with all haste, and deliver the letter to the Pri Minister's hands. Ask the Pri Minister to send troops and doctors!"
In fact, the ssenger soldier he sent had barely left the territory of the Longnan County Governnt when he was stopped by the neighboring Dengzhou army.
It turned out the news of the plague within the Longnan County Governnt had already spread far and wide.
Dengzhou's Governor, Hao Dayong, worried that the people of Dengzhou would also get infected, imdiately ordered the blockade of the passages between the two counties and completely prohibited persons from Longnan County Governnt from entering Dengzhou!
The helpless ssenger soldier had no choice but to return.
Upon hearing the situation, Feng Liang was nearly infuriated to death!
But he didn't give up and wrote several more letters, dispatching ssenger soldiers in three different directions: south, west, and north.
So of these ssenger soldiers took water routes, and others crossed mountains; finally, soone reached the Capital City.
But by then, the Capital City was already on full alert, and the ssenger soldier couldn't even enter.
Luckily, a soldier on the city wall, seeing the pitiful state of the ssenger soldier, discreetly inford him of so truths.
Apparently, Zhao Xiyan's people had already managed to send the news about the Longnan County Governnt to the Capital City, and the Imperial Court was aware of the situation and had already taken asures.
In the eyes of the nobles in the Capital City, Longnan County Governnt was rely a barbaric land for exiles, and even the local people were considered barbarians.
To them, these people weren't worth sending aid for.
Even if everyone in Longnan County Governnt died, as long as the land remained, it would still serve as their place of exile, which didn't hinder their plans!
There was even talk in the Imperial Court that they should have the soldiers burn all the infected to eradicate the source of the disease.
As for Pri Minister Lin's daughter, Lin Keke, she died in a fire unexpectedly soon after being sent to the outskirts.
Thereafter, fires mysteriously started in several places in the capital, killing many people.
It was said that the houses burning belonged to those Imperial Physicians who had been infected.
The terrified ssenger soldier simply did not return to Longnan County Governnt and left the Capital City, his destination unknown.
Anyway, Beiyuan was in complete chaos now, with officials in various places who had a bit of military power wanting to establish themselves as Great Generals or the like.
Wars, famine, countless deaths, anyone could beco a bandit in the wild mountains and scrape by.
Of course, this information was later disseminated from Zhao Xiyan's side.
Looking at the current state of affairs among the four nations, only Zhao Xiyan's Black Feather Guard had hot air balloons, capable of sending ssages to various places very quickly.
Once the news spread, the entire new military camp exploded.
These people had been forced to beco soldiers in the first place, and now with the situation as it was, many secretly ran away.
Within a day or two, nearly twenty to thirty thousand soldiers had escaped.
So fled directly led by their officers.
