Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 367 - "Now there’s only one person who can control the situation!
Chapter 367: Chapter 367 “Now there’s only one person who can control the situation!
The elder spoke so logically that everyone listening was stunned.
After a moment of silence, most of them finally calmed down and sensed that something was amiss.
A few people also jumped out and echoed, “It seems we’ve been duped by the Governor’s Office!”
“Exactly, it’s all Feng Liang’s doing. He must want to take over Longnan County Government, thinking Qi, the Divine Doctor, is a hurdle, and wants to use our hands to drive her away.”
“Yes, it must be so. Otherwise, such matters should definitely be handled by Lord Chu.”
“I heard Lord Chu is ill, and now everything in the Governor’s Office is decided by Feng Liang!”
“It must be him, he wants to drive away Qi, the Divine Doctor, and even get rid of Lord Chu along with her!”
“Yes, let’s settle the score with him! Maybe this disease is his doing!”
“Yes, let’s hold him accountable!”
The agitated masses thronged and headed towards the Governor’s Office again.
Unexpectedly, the entrance of the Governor’s Office was already defended with long spears, tightly securing against the arrival of the crowd.
The soldiers, worried about contagion, stabbed with their long spears at the sight of anyone with blisters, wounding one person on the spot.
The frightened people grew even more afraid, wanting to rush forward but not daring to, so they could only gather together and shout loudly.
“Feng Liang, come out, give us an explanation!”
“Feng Liang, you corrupt official, come out quickly, why harm Qi, the Divine Doctor?!”
“Feng Liang, why do you harm us!”
“….”
Inside the Governor’s Office, Feng Liang was discussing countermeasures with a group of officials.
“What should we do now? If this continues, it wouldn’t be surprising if we get infected too!”
“Exactly, the servants at my house must go to buy groceries! Now the streets are full of people with blisters, what if it spreads to us!”
“Yes indeed, luckily we have fruits and vegetables on our estate and can hold out for a while, but if this continues, how can we endure it!”
“Exactly, Lord Feng, this is like lifting a rock only to drop it on our own feet! If we had known, we should have followed Zhao Xiyan’s advice to control the situation first!”
“….”
The officials had no constructive suggestions, all full of complaints, truly aggravating Feng Liang.
He paced irritably, not even sitting in the chief seat symbolizing power and status, but pacing around the hall instead.
“Lord Feng, please say something! Maybe we should notify the Capital City, have Prime Minister Lin send some Imperial Physicians over!”
“Exactly, Prime Minister Lin can’t just do nothing!”
“I’m afraid only the Capital City sending Imperial Physicians can save us now, otherwise as the disease continues to spread, Longnan will be doomed!”
“….”
The officials were so busy talking that they completely missed the liver-like shade of Feng Liang’s face!
He too knew the necessity of having the Capital City send Imperial Physicians over.
He was also waiting for news.
It had been ten days, and the messenger from the Capital City still hadn’t arrived!
If only he had pretended to cooperate with Zhao Xiyan and isolated the citizens according to his method, he could have even tricked a few hot air balloons to send messages!
It was too hasty of him at that time!
No, he had not anticipated the disease spreading so fiercely!
Ah, foresight is always clearer after the fact!
And that Qi Yue!
Wasn’t she always compassionate and eager to save the people?
Why didn’t she act this time when she was wronged?
She really can’t withstand a bit of grievance!
She doesn’t have any of the stature of a descendant of the Great General!
Just then, a soldier rushed in breathlessly, shouting loudly.
“Sir, trouble now, the people want to storm the Governor’s Office!”
“What?” Feng Liang was taken aback.
“What is going on? Shouldn’t they be causing trouble at the Qi Mansion instead?”
“Subordinates are also unclear, but they all rushed here. According to your orders, we wounded a few, but the people still won’t leave; they just keep shouting loudly for you to come out!”
“Why do they want this official to come out?” Feng Liang said with impatience!
“The people say, they want you to come out and explain why you harmed them and wronged Qi, the Divine Doctor?”
Feng Liang’s eyes widened.
“I harmed them? Wronged Qi Yue?”
“Yes, that’s what the people are saying!”

Hearing this, the officials couldn’t sit still anymore and started arguing.
“What should we do now? How did these obstinate commoners come to know about our plan?”
“Was it one of you who leaked the news?”
“Do we even need to leak such a thing? No matter how foolish the common people are, they will eventually catch on!”
“That’s true, there are always some idle scholars among the people who stir up trouble!”
“…..”
The grand hall buzzed with the arguments of dozens of people, truly noisy.
Feng Yuan felt his brain turning to mush.
He picked up the teacup from the table and angrily smashed it on the floor.
“Everyone shut up!”
A loud shout instantly stunned everyone!
But once it quieted down, they could hear the shouts of the common folk outside the Governor’s Office!
“Feng Liang, you corrupt official, come out!”
“Give back my father’s life, you corrupt official!”
“Feng Liang, you great corrupt official, give us the antidote!”
“….”
The soldier who had come to report was so frightened by the noise that he dared not go out, incessantly asking Feng Liang for advice.
“Lord Feng, what should we do? If you don’t go out soon, I’m afraid the people will storm in!”
Feng Liang, already anxious and irritable, was enraged by the remark and kicked the soldier.
“Useless fool, hold them back! Hold them back! Whoever dares to break in, let me execute them!”
The soldier was kicked so hard he flipped over and immediately scrambled up and ran off.
The officials also panicked.
“What shall we do now? If these troublemakers storm in, who knows, even we might get infected!”
“Exactly, I suggest we avoid coming to the Governor’s Office until the situation is under control!”
“Right, let’s leave quickly through the back door!”
“…”
The officials didn’t discuss further, they quickly made some polite excuses to Feng Liang and fled out the back door.
Feng Liang’s face looked as ugly as if a relative had died; he immediately arranged for soldiers from the barracks to suppress the people and slipped away through the back door himself.
Outside the Governor’s Office, seeing Feng Liang fail to show up, several individuals exchanged glances quietly, and one by one they left the crowd to move to an alley on the side, among them was an old man whose face was covered with blisters.
He reached up and tore off the mask on his face, revealing a face with healthy skin.
And he wasn’t old either, just in his thirties, it was Hei Lie.
The others gathered around and began whispering.
“Commander, what do we do now?”
“Let everyone disperse, Feng Liang has probably fled!”
“Pity, didn’t get a chance to break his leg today.”
“Next time then, there will be opportunities!”
“What do we do now?”
“Guard the Qi Mansion, and if anyone causes trouble again, we use the old methods!”
“Yes, Commander!”
The men quickly dispersed and soon vanished from sight.
Meanwhile, at the Governor’s Office, Chu Yuntian was also informed of the situation outside.
Although he was sidelined by Feng Liang, there were still a few loyal men in the Governor’s Office he could command.
One of them was Tan Cheng, who was currently conveying the information he had gathered.
“My lord, the current situation is as follows: Feng Liang is calling troops, he’s likely to take harsh measures!”
Chu Yuntian shook his head.
“He is courting self-destruction! After so many years with me, he still can’t shed his superiority…”
At this, he suddenly realized that he was not one to talk, abruptly swallowing his words and switching the topic.
“…this won’t do, the Longnan County Government could be ruined in his hands!”
