The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 131: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (39)

The doctor said, "The purpose of studying medicine is to save lives. Now is the time for him to show his skills. He will not leave."

Shui Zhizi did not have such noble and selfless thoughts, but Wu Kai did.

She was Wu Kai's disciple, and it was Wu Kai who taught her medical skills. If there had been no Wu Kai, there would have been no Mingyuan Hall, and she would not have been where she is today.

It was clearly Wu Kai who cured the disease and saved the life, but because she was the one who paid for Mingyuantang, the people were very grateful to her.

Shui Zhizi wants to live up to everyone's gratitude and trust.

Besides, if she stayed, she could do more for the people of Liujia Town.

Since the decision has been made, Shui Zhizi will not give herself the chance to regret it.

After she returned to the inn, she took out paper and pen and wrote letters to King Rui and Wu Kai.

He told King Rui about the situation in Liujia Town, hoping that King Rui would report the matter to the court.

Liujia Town is not small. In a situation like this, the problem cannot be solved by relying solely on doctors to treat the disease and taking other measures.

If other measures are to be taken, official intervention is necessary.

Wu Kai was told that the medicinal materials could not be taken back as they might have been used up in Liujia Town, so he was asked to send someone to other places to buy some for emergency.

Both letters were sent back through the channel given to her by Prince Rui, and should arrive in the capital soon.

Shui Zhizi then found Da Zhuang and the guards she brought with her and explained the situation.

"I know some medical skills so I'll stay here. Dazhuang, you take them back to Beijing."

Shui Zhizi thought about it carefully. According to what the doctor said, the situation in Liujia Town was very serious. They had not even found a very effective medicine yet.

So this is a tough battle and it is likely that we cannot win.

According to previous history, when this happened, there were cases where the entire town was burned down.

Shui Zhizi knows how to treat it, so she chose to stay, but she couldn't let Da Zhuang and these guards take such a big risk here.

"I won't leave, Boss. I can help you with many things if I stay."

“The Great Zhuang Disease is not as simple as you think. Once you are infected, you may die at any time. Someone has already died in Liujia Town.

"I know that when Doctor Wu was talking about the epidemic before, I was listening nearby."

"But Doctor Wu also said that when the epidemic is serious, if the people have nowhere to go, they may even blame the doctor.

And later, you will definitely follow Doctor Wu's instructions to separate the people according to their illnesses. I will never leave when we need more manpower."

The result of Shui Zhizi's persuasion was that no one left in the end.

The guards said that they had been bought home by Shui Zhizi and would protect their master to the death.

In the end, Shui Zhizi directly brought all the medicinal materials to Jishidiang.

The first thing Doctor Liu, the manager of Jishitang, said was, "Miss, although we are in great need of medicine, we really can't afford so much. Can we just buy a little?"

He spoke very politely, fearing that Shui Zhizi might not be willing to do such a small business.

Shui Zhizi looked at Doctor Liu's anxious expression, and waved her hand, looking unusually heroic. "These medicines are for your clinic, but they can only be used to treat epidemic diseases. If someone can't afford to see a doctor or buy medicine, these herbs can be given to the sick for free."

Doctor Liu almost fell to his knees, but he still maintained the last bit of rationality. "What do you want, young lady?"

"I know some medical skills and would like to learn from Doctor Ye for a few days. If Doctor Liu thinks I am qualified, he will let me come to Jishidi Hall to practice medicine."

"Really? The young lady really knows medical skills, and these herbs are really given away for free?"

"Yes, I can also go and buy any medicine that Jishitang needs. From now on, Doctor Liu just needs to concentrate on studying how to treat this disease."

Of course no one would refuse such a request.

In this way, Shui Zhizi stayed in Jishidiang, and Dazhuang and the guards also helped in Jishidiang every day.

But for several days, Shui Zhizi saw more and more people coming to the clinic, their conditions became more and more serious, and several people even died.

The government did not take any measures, and people were in panic on the streets, but people were coming and going. Some people even began to flee.

After Shui Zhizi discovered this situation, her eyes turned black and she felt dizzy.

At this rate of infection, if those who escaped were infected, the scope of the epidemic would definitely be expanded.

Shui Zhizi had no choice but to go and see the county magistrate under the guidance of Doctor Liu.

But all the county magistrate could do was to seal off the town exits to prevent people from escaping, but the result of this could only be panic among the people.

If the government does not take action to enforce diversion, the epidemic will only get worse.

"County Magistrate Chen, you really need to send people to separate the sick people from the healthy people. It would be best if you could give them some preventive or therapeutic medicines according to their conditions."

"I can provide all the medicinal materials. If you need money, I can also provide it. County Magistrate Chen, you just need to give the order."

"Doctor Shui, I, I dare not. The last time I told the governor about this situation, he reprimanded me and deducted my salary for several months."

"If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll lose my position. I've done everything I can. I've written to the governor every day these past few days, but there's been no response."

Seeing the helpless look on County Magistrate Chen's face, Shui Zhizi almost jumped up.

"Mr. Chen, the epidemic is getting worse and worse. If you do nothing, can you keep your position?"

"The people above don't let you move now, but can they take responsibility for you if something goes wrong? You will be pushed out to avoid the disaster."

Doctor Liu, who came with them, grabbed Shui Zhizi fiercely. No one dared to speak so bluntly in front of County Magistrate Chen.

But County Magistrate Chen was not angry, his expression became even more bitter.

"Do you think I don't know? But I have to live long enough to be punished by the court."

He now disobeyed the governor's orders and died at the governor's hands within a few days.

Shui Zhizi was so angry that her chest felt stuffy, but there was nothing she could do.

Shui Zhizi had long understood that a higher-ranking official could crush a person to death.

Big official, big official! Shui Zhizi’s mind became dizzy and her heart became ruthless.

"What if I can guarantee that the governor won't dare to touch you?"

King Rui, I bet you can see the people and will not ignore them. Shui Zhizi secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

County Magistrate Chen was shocked and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but County Magistrate Chen, you have already been to Jishitang and I can take out those herbs at once. As long as you give the order for treatment, I can take out more."

"As long as the epidemic can be controlled this time, I can guarantee that the governor will not be able to touch you. But if the epidemic cannot be controlled and the situation becomes serious, no one will let you go."

At this moment, Shui Zhizi was very glad that she was an observant person. After meeting King Rui and King Zhan, Shui Zhizi could also try to learn from them.

It can fool people temporarily.
