On Ye Siming’s side.

He rode in front and led the soldiers into the area where the epidemic was occurring.

The outermost village’s situation was relatively lighter.

There were no scenes of corpses floating everywhere, but yellow incense money could be seen everywhere on the ground.

Ye Siming sat on the horse and looked around with his narrow and cold eyes.

He nodded and instructed, “Surround them.”

The soldiers immediately spread out around the village.

Some of the villagers who had just packed their bags and were about to flee to the capital to take refuge were unable to leave.

The soldiers’ spears stopped them on the spot.

The group of people was frightened and noisy. “Why aren’t you letting us out and letting us leave?!”

Qin Song stood beside Ye Siming and said solemnly, “On His Majesty’s orders, we’re surrounding the villages to save people. Please calm down and wait for the doctor to arrive.”

“We’re not sick. We’ll be doomed if we wait here!”

They were about to leave, but they were told to wait in such a terrifying place.

No one was willing to do so. Wasn’t this just waiting for death?!

Therefore, the villagers were furious and had an intense conflict with the soldiers.

However, unarmed commoners were naturally not a match for soldiers who had been to the battlefield.

In just a few moves, most of them were subdued.

There was even someone who accidentally touched the long silver spear, causing a huge wound on his arm and blood to flow.

The injured person lay on the ground while his family patted the ground and cried.

Ye Siming watched coldly without any pity.

He held the reins loosely with his long fingers.

Impatience flashed across the youth’s narrow and cold eyes.

“How troublesome. If I had known earlier, I would have killed them all.”

When Censor Zhang heard this, he hurriedly went forward to persuade him.

“Marquis, please be patient and bear with it. These commoners are just frightened by the epidemic. His Majesty ordered us to save people and not kill them.”

Ye Siming sneered.

At this moment, he saw a dirty girl standing at the back of the crowd.

She looked like she was only three years old and was wearing tattered clothes.

Her eyes were also watery.

Although she looked ordinary, her helpless and confused gaze made Ye Siming frown slightly.

He didn’t dare to think about it. If the situation here endangered the little thing, Gu Nuo’er, would she also be like this, looking helplessly at the devastated land?

The cold and hateful expression on Ye Siming’s face slowly faded.

He got off the horse and walked towards the little girl.

The other party would only look up at him foolishly, as if she was too young and didn’t know what death meant.

Ye Siming lowered his cold eyes and stared at her.

After a while, he instructed Qin Song in a low voice, “Gather those orphans and widows who have lost their families together. After the epidemic is over, I’ll ask His Majesty to find a place for them.”

“Yes!”

The moment Ye Siming turned to leave, a bright kitchen knife attacked him. The youth’s expression didn’t change at all. He only turned his head slightly.

Then, he quickly grabbed the wrist of the person who ambushed him.

His eyes were as cold as frost as he stared at the man in front of him who was almost going crazy.

“What kind of marquis are you?! You’re no different from those dog officials who disregard human lives! You surrounded us because you want us to die!”

Censor Zhang was afraid that Marquis Yongye would get angry and kill someone.

He hurriedly ran over and persuaded, “We were really ordered to treat you guys. As there are many people, we need time to gather the doctors. When the doctors come, they’ll immediately arrange for everyone’s pulse to be taken.”

“You’re lying!” The man roared hysterically, his wrist still held by Ye Siming.

He stared at Ye Siming and almost cried as he shouted, “Let me out. My wife fell sick in an embroidery workshop in the capital. She won’t be able to come back and has been locked up! I want to go save her..”
