Chapter 898 There is no hope

Chapter 898 There is no hope

"There is no hope."

Lu Zhaoling's expression also became stern when he saw those seven or eight people.

When Lu Song and others heard her words, they fell silent for a moment.

"Senior Sister, can't even you be saved?" Lu Song asked.

Lu Zhaoling shook his head.

"I can't do everything. They are already very ill, and they probably ate something bad. They can't be saved."

"They are so sick that they can infect people."

"Brother Xiaoman, will he be infected if he goes there?" Lu Song was shocked.

"Aoki, go over and disperse the crowd." Lu Zhaoling said.

She also walked quickly towards those people.

Xiaoman is asking for clarification.

Although he was a soldier guarding the city gate, he had to take care of anything unusual or crowds gathering in the city to prevent any major incidents.

The people talking to him were a father and daughter.

Xiaoman knew them. They were Gan Hongchang, the manager of Sun's Trading Company, and his daughter Gan Zhenning.

But he just wasn't familiar with it.

Manager Gan was worried, angry and anxious at the moment. Gan Zhenning supported him and was also very angry and at a loss.

"Sir, please judge these two people," Manager Gan pointed at the two men kneeling in front of him, his voice trembling with anxiety, "half a year ago, they worked in our shop, but they were not honest and stole things from the shop."

"After we found them, we wanted to report them to the police, but the two men begged desperately, saying that they had elderly parents and young children at home, and if they were sent to prison, both families would not be able to survive."

"But they have already sold the stolen items. I counted them and found a total of 20 taels of silver!"

Manager Gan said angrily, "They begged me to let them go, but they couldn't afford the compensation."

"The last time I visited their home, they were indeed poor. They had already spent all the money on food and clothing."

"I consider myself unlucky and will pay the twenty taels out of my own pocket."

"But I naturally couldn't keep people like this, so I fired them both."

Xiaoman listened to what Manager Gan said and nodded.

"You are kind-hearted."

He looked at those people and immediately let out a sigh, frightened by their appearance.

Because these people are now pale and thin, with dark circles under their eyes and white lips with grayish tint.

Moreover, their clothes were stained with so much dirty water that they were all black and yellow.

There is an old man and two teenage boys.

But they all look like this.

Their hair was greasy and looked dry and yellow.

"So what are they doing here now?"

Manager Gan was furious. "I drove them away half a year ago. At that time, they threatened me that if they couldn't stay here, they would find another place that would."

"They haven't shown up in half a year, but today they suddenly came here with their family, saying that both their families were sick and they had no money to see a doctor, no money to buy medicine, and no food to eat!"

"They said that it was because I drove them away that they are now living such a miserable life, and they want me to be responsible!"

Manager Gan was so angry that his chest was heaving.

Gan Zhenning quickly said, "Dad, don't be too angry. You're not feeling well."

"Is there such a thing?"

Before Xiaoman could say anything, Lu Song was already calling him.

"Brother Xiaoman."

Lu Song walked over quickly and reached out to pull him.

"Go and do your thing first, and don't worry about what's going on here."

The illnesses of those people were too severe. The senior sister said that they were beyond help. Xiaoman was afraid that he would be infected if he stayed here any longer.

Xiaoman was a little puzzled.

"Brother Lu Song, we can't just ignore this matter. These people..."

He is also a man who hates evil. If things are as Manager Gan said, then these two families are scoundrels. They are trying to put the blame on Manager Gan.

“They are sick.”

Lu Song lowered his voice, "Didn't you say before that many people in the city were sick? Now that you see them like this, are you not afraid?"

Xiaoman looked at those people again.

How could he not see how sick they were?

"I am a soldier of this Shu Ning City, and I have to be in charge."

If you want to be afraid, how can I not be afraid?

But now the adults have not said that no one is allowed to enter the city, nor have they forced sick people to stay at home. So as officers and soldiers, they still have to maintain order.

"Then ask all the onlookers to disperse." Seeing that he didn't listen, Lu Song immediately changed his approach.

This is really Xiaoman's responsibility.

Aoki and others are now wearing ordinary clothes to disperse the people, but they don't listen much.

"Everyone, go away! What's so good about this? It's getting dark, why don't you all go home!"

Dou Man immediately assumed the authority of an official and went over to drive the people away.

The people then dispersed in fear.

As they dispersed, Lu Zhaoling's eyes swept across everyone's face.

When she saw two of the women, she paused.

Yin Yunting followed her gaze and immediately understood.

He walked towards the two women.

"Two elder sisters."

He stopped the two women who were about to leave and called out to them gently.

When the two women looked up, they saw such a gentle and handsome man greeting them politely, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master, are you calling us?"

"Yes, I just passed by and saw that the two elder sisters looked very friendly. I guess they are hardworking people of the Gu family."

So?

The two women looked at each other, both confused.

Yin Yunting took out two amulets.

"I feel that people like you two elder sisters must be the backbone of the family, so your safety and well-being are of utmost importance."

"Oh, sir, you are really good at talking. We are just ordinary women..." Both women were a little embarrassed.

Are they the backbone of the family?

Are they the most important?

"My two elder sisters, please do not underestimate yourselves. You must put yourself in the most important position. I got these two amulets from the extremely spiritual Zunyi Temple. Each one was originally worth one tael of silver."

"But I have a connection with you two elder sisters, so I want to give this amulet to you two. I only charge you half the price for each one. I hope you two are healthy."

When Lu Zhaoling saw that his senior fellow disciple had received the silver and sold the talisman, he looked away.

Fortunately, they arrived just in time, and the incident might not last too long.

Manager Gan felt a little relieved when he saw that the onlookers had been dispersed.

The two leading men started shouting with their necks stretched out.

"The rules of the Sun Family Business used to be that once you joined the business, the owner would not care about your birth, old age, sickness or death!"

"We are so sick now, what's wrong with us coming to the master to ask for money for treatment?"

"We talked about it well before. We told everyone that the head of the Sun family was righteous. Now you don't acknowledge it?"
