Early the next morning, Li Langzhong went to the Yamen of Wan'an County to beat drums.

As a healer, he has spent his life curing diseases and saving people, and now that there is a plague in a village near Wan'an County, he will definitely not sit idly by. He wanted to report the matter to the government, hoping that the government could post a notice to recruit Langzhong from Wan'an County, and everyone would go to the village to check the source of the plague.

"Who's beating the drums here?" A servant walked out lazily.

"Official, the villain has something important to report, and I hope that the official will pass it on to the villain." Li Langzhong arched his hand and said.

The master of the yamen is pampered in the government every day, and he does not do his job. And he had already instructed the officials that if they could send them away, they should be sent away, and that they should not disturb their purity. Therefore, the people who came to report to the official were basically driven back by the officials for various reasons, and Li Langzhong was no exception at this moment.

"What's so important about you, a broken old man? Our lord is so busy with government affairs every day, how can I have time to take care of you, go quickly, don't disturb our lord, be careful that you can't eat and walk around when the time comes. The official said impatiently, frowning as usual. I will drive away a lot of people who come to beat the drum every day, and this has also been approved by the master of the yamen, so now the yamen is speaking more and more presumptuously.

"If the current matter is not resolved, the people of the entire Wan'an County will suffer. See for yourself. When Li Langzhong saw the attitude of the servant, he didn't feel angry in his heart. As a parent official, he actually treated his own people like this.

The official saw that Li Langzhong's expression was very serious, not like he was talking nonsense, and he was a little stunned in his heart. I thought to myself that if something really happened, I couldn't afford to take this responsibility.

The official thought for a while and said, "Okay, you wait here for a while, I'll go and tell the master." ”

So the official hurriedly ran to the county lord's room.

"Master, master, there is an old man outside the door who said that there is something important to report." The official said at the door of the county lord's room.

"Hmm... It's so fragrant..."At this time, the county lord was still asleep, and he was quarreled by the voice of the servant, and his dream was disturbed early in the morning, which made the county lord very angry.

"Didn't they all say that you should send them away, what I said didn't work, didn't it?" The county lord spoke with anger.

"No... No, sir, the old man said that this matter is related to the safety of the entire Wan'an County, not like a lie, sir, you better go and take a look. The official was frightened by the county lord, and his speech became stammering.

"It's about the safety of Wan'an County," the county lord muttered, and then he suddenly sat up, seemingly much more sober. I am here to enjoy the blessings of Qingfu by being this official, and there can be no major incident in Wan'an County, otherwise my official position will not be guaranteed, so I agreed to let Li Langzhong come to report.

"Then you can pass him in."

"Okay, let's go, little one." The official replied with a grin.

"Come in." After the official finished speaking, he led Li Langzhong to the main hall where the master was talking. As he walked, he whispered: "You'd better really have something important to report, otherwise if the master blames you at that time, I won't be able to spare you." Li Langzhong ignored the "threat" of the officials.

When I arrived at the main hall and waited for a while, I saw a man swaying from a distance, moving his two thick legs, and a big round belly, like a waddling duck. When he gets closer, he will clearly see that the fat on his face is trembling, and he is tired enough to walk this distance, and the sweat droplets drip down his face in large chunks, and he looks like a person who has been pampered all year round.

When he sat on the stool in the middle of the main hall, Li Langzhong knew that he was the county lord of Wan'an County. Since Li Langzhong doesn't have anything to report to the official on weekdays, the county lord often stays in the yamen, and even if he goes out, he takes a sedan chair, so this is the first time he has seen the county lord. The image of the county lord really surprised him.

"Tell me, what do you have to report?" The county lord glanced at him, played with the jade wrench in his hand and asked.

"Master, the villain diagnosed a lady with plague yesterday, and the villain heard that there is a village not far from the county seat, where the plague is rampant, and the people are not living. Therefore, the villain hopes that the lord can post a notice and gather famous doctors and people from Wan'an County to go to the village with me to investigate the plague, find the source of the plague as soon as possible, and save people from fire and water. ”

"Oh? Pestilence. "The county lord seems to have known about this for a long time, so he acted disapprovingly." I have already sent someone, don't worry, this official will solve the plague, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

As early as half a month ago, the county lord knew that there was a plague in the village, and he was afraid that the news would be known to the emperor when the news reached the capital, so he secretly sent people to the village. He is going to solve the plague at its source. When he is the lord of this county, he just wants to enjoy the blessings and receive the money, and he never cares about the life and death of the people.

"This, master, you are still..." Li Langzhong still wanted to fight again, after all, the plague is not a trivial matter, and once it spreads, it will be uncontrollable.

Seeing that this old man was still not giving up, the county lord stood up and slapped the table angrily and said, "Enough! Old horseman, in the end, are you the county lord or me, the official has said that someone has been sent, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, just do your part. ”

"Sending off!" Saying that, the official pushed Li Langzhong out, he thought that he would definitely be scolded by the master this time, so he wanted to put all the fire on Li Langzhong.

The county lord's eyes turned around twice in his sockets, as if he was worried about something, he was afraid that Li Langzhong would go out and spread the matter, and his clean days would come to an end. So he hurriedly stopped the official and ordered, "Wait a minute. Go and tie him up and throw him into the firewood room, don't let him spoil the good deeds of the official. ”

"The little one obeys." After the official finished speaking, he covered Li Langzhong's mouth and tied him to the firewood room.

"Stay here, I'll let you out when the master finishes dealing with it. Can't you be your Langzhong well, you have to be nosy. After speaking, the official kicked Li Langzhong, vented the anger in his heart a little, and then left without looking back.

Leaving Li Langzhong alone, his face revealed an incredible expression, and the current master of Wan'an County is so mediocre and incompetent.

On the other side, in the White Tiger Building.

Mama Zhang looked at Princess Yu, whose condition was getting worse and worse, tears flowed down in distress, Princess Yu was pampered every day in the Shizi Mansion, and her body was delicate, where she had suffered like this, she blamed herself for not taking good care of the princess. Princess Yu drank the antipyretic medicine prescribed by Li Langzhong and fell asleep for two days and two nights, and still hasn't woken up.

"Ahem...", Princess Yu began to cough, her eyes opened slightly, and Mama Zhang saw that she hurriedly poured a glass of water for Princess Yu.

"Princess, Princess, you have finally woken up, worried about the death of the old slave." Mama Zhang was in tears.

"What's wrong with me?" Princess Yu asked, and Princess Yu also realized that this was not an ordinary fever.

"You, you're suffering from a fever sickness, so you haven't been able to get better. But it's okay, Li Langzhong has already prescribed medicine for you, you drink the medicine on time, and your body will heal quickly. "Comfort the princess. She was afraid that the princess would be sad to know that she was infected with the plague.

But the two of them have been in a relationship for so many years, how could Princess Yu not see that Mama Zhang was lying to herself, so she continued to ask: "Don't hide me, my physical condition is clear to me, and it is not as easy as you said." Tell me, Mama, I can bear any illness. ”

Seeing that the princess was so strong, Mama Zhang finally couldn't control herself from crying, "Wang... Princess, you are infected with the plague. It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I didn't take good care of you, the old slave would rather suffer from the plague himself than the princess to suffer like this. She was so annoyed that she slapped herself in the face as she spoke.

"The plague." Princess Yu muttered softly. Princess Yu knew that she was not lightly ill, but she never thought that she would be infected with the plague. In ancient times, infection with the plague was almost incurable, and it was only left to fate. She looked solemn, as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment she commanded, "I am not allowed to tell the prince about the plague." ”

"But, Princess..."

"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more!" Xiao Jue was already very annoyed to deal with the affairs of the court every day, and Princess Yu was afraid that Xiao Jue would be worried after knowing that she was infected with the plague, which would delay the affairs of the court and affect Xiao Jue's future, so she refused to inform Xiao Jue of this matter.

"Ahem... cough" may have been talking too hard just now, and Princess Yu coughed even more.

Suddenly, Princess Yu felt a surge of qi and blood in her chest, her throat was fishy, her whole body trembled, and she spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", staining a piece of clothing in front of her.

"I'm afraid I'm dying." Princess Yu laughed at herself. In his life, his son was a proton in the imperial court, and his husband was guarding the frontier outside the Saiwai, and he never rested for a moment when he was busy on both sides, and in the end he was infected with the plague, which is really ridiculous.

Mama Zhang went over and pulled Princess Yu's hand to comfort her: "Princess, don't be afraid, you will definitely get better, the old slave is here to accompany you." Princess Yu was too weak and fell asleep.

Mama Zhang instructed her subordinates to make light food for the princess. went and instructed Ling Guards to go to the infirmary to find Li Langzhong to treat the princess.

After arriving at the pharmacy, the Ling guards went straight to the second floor, and found that there was no one upstairs, so they went downstairs again to ask the medicine boy, "Li Langzhong, why isn't he upstairs today." ”

"When Li Langzhong went out this morning, he said that he had something important to report to the government, and after speaking, he left in a hurry, and he hasn't come back yet." The medicine boy replied. "But at this hour, Li Langzhong should have come back a long time ago, I don't know why he hasn't come back today, maybe there is something delayed on the road, why don't you sit down and wait for a while?" The medicine boy continued. After what happened before, the medicine boy became polite when he spoke to Ling Guard.

"Our wife is still waiting for Li Langzhong to save her life, and she can't delay for a moment. I will go to the yamen to find Li Langzhong now, and if Li Langzhong comes back later, please tell him that he must go and save our wife. ”

The medicine boy nodded.

Then the Ling guards hurried to the yamen.
