Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
"Someone come here," Jiang Tian said, taking a thick stack of silver notes and stuffing them all into his pocket.
"Let all the people inside and outside the city come into the Yang family and let them see for themselves that even these people who claim to be blessed by God are suffering terribly from the plague."
"The Yang family has gone too far this time. In order to give some compensation to the dead people, all the people who enter the Yang mansion can choose two items at random."
These two items belonged to them from that time onward.
Soon, the Embroidered Uniform Guard conveyed Jiang Tian's message.
The people outside the Yang residence looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
"Really? Can we really storm into the Yang family and take two items at will?"
"Everything in the Yang family is priceless. I heard that all the firewood they use for cooking is candles."
"That's right, the Yang family lived a life of extreme cruelty. They even used honey water to wash their dishes."
"I heard that in the Yang family mansion, all the toilet paper used for wiping is not paper, but silk."
“You are really ignorant. The Yang family uses candles to cook rice, honey water to wash pots and bowls, silk to wipe their bottoms, pearls... These are things that ordinary people like us would never even see, but they are commonplace in their home.”
"What are you all standing there for? Let's see if the Yang family members have contracted the plague."
Upon hearing that they could visit the Yang family, the people took two items at will.
They were all incredibly excited.
At first, these people had some concerns.
However, the mentality that "the law does not punish the masses" quickly spread among these people.
Once one person steps into the Yang family compound, more and more people will follow.
Soon, the Yang family compound was packed with people.
The Yang Family Compound covers an area of over a thousand acres and is a magnificent sight with thousands of households.
Every room and every courtyard is filled with people.
People were packed together, shoulder to shoulder.
The Yang family members are all dying.
They were all panting heavily.
These people, who thought they were protected by God, were left with only a few breaths left under the ravages of the plague.
"The Yang family boasted everywhere that they were protected by God and were not afraid of the plague. But look what happened, they are all now dying."
"It seems that what the Yang family said before was all nonsense."
"I think the people in the Yang family are all just ordinary people; they are even worse than ordinary folks."
"That's right, all of these people from the Yang family deserve to die. I heard that this plague was caused by the Yang family working with those people from Miao territory."
“These beasts in the Yang family killed my family members. Even if they die 1,000 or 10,000 times, they will still be guilty.”
When these people saw the Yang family members barely clinging to life under the torment of the plague.
Only then did all the people realize that the Yang family members were ultimately just ordinary people.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd started snatching things.
Soon, more and more people began moving their belongings away from the Yang family's house.
The rumors and gossip will fall apart on their own.
...
Thanks to the joint efforts of Li Shizhen and more than 20,000 people.
The plague was quickly brought under control.
Jiang Tian goes to the front line of the epidemic control efforts every day, and for more than ten days now, not a single person has died from the epidemic.
Li Shizhen walked happily to Jiang Tian and said, "My lord, the plague has been completely brought under control. What we need to do next is to cure those who have been infected with the plague."
"Li Shizhen, how long will it take to cure these people infected with the plague?"
"It will take anywhere from three to five days," Li Shizhen said, holding up five fingers.
"Excellent, excellent, Li Shizhen, you have made a great contribution this time. Once this plague is completely cured, I will reward you handsomely."
Li Shizhen shook his head.
This famous physician who wrote the Compendium of Materia Medica did not care about fame, fortune, or money at all.
"Physician Li, please wait here for a moment. I need you to see someone." Jiang Tian snapped his fingers at Lu Wenzhao beside him.
Lu Wenzhao whistled, and soon two Imperial Guards brought Lan Fenghuang over.
“My lord, this girl is…” Li Shizhen looked the young girl, Lan Fenghuang, up and down.
The little girl's Miao ethnic clothing was torn, and her glittering silver headdress was also incomplete.
Jiang Tian walked up to Lan Fenghuang and looked the young girl up and down.
The little girl quickly lowered her head, but soon Lan Fenghuang raised her face again and stared at Jiang Tian.
"Jiang Tian, we have no grudges against each other. You have no reason to torture a weak woman like me to death."
“You’re a weak woman, and the evil deeds done by those people in Miao territory are too numerous to count.” Jiang Tian grabbed Lan Fenghuang by the collar.
The little girl immediately closed her eyes, looking completely helpless.
"This Miao girl knows both poison and Gu poison. Doctor Li, you should study her carefully." Today, I hope Li Shizhen can thoroughly study the methods of poisoning and Gu poisoning so that he can deal with those beasts in Japan and also take care of those people in the Southern Frontier.
“Lord Jiang, isn’t your goal to find a way to poison me? I’ll tell you everything without reservation.” Lan Fenghuang glanced at Jiang Tian.
"Blue Phoenix, what tricks are you trying to pull now? Let me tell you, Physician Li is a capable man under my command, Jiang Tian. If you dare to touch a single hair on Physician Li's head, I'll chop you into mincemeat."
"Is Jiang perhaps judging me by my own petty standards? Ever since I discovered that the Yang family's good-for-nothings are utterly useless, I've had the idea of cooperating with Lord Jiang."
Jiang Tian sized up Lan Fenghuang in front of him: "Cooperate with you? Cooperate on what? Cooperate on how to harm people?"
Blue Phoenix smiled slightly.
Not to mention this little girl, even though Jiang Tian slapped her twice, she still smiled quite beautifully: "When you killed the Pang family, when you killed all the civil and military officials, when you executed their entire families, when you were subjected to slow slicing, and even when you were skinned alive, all you thought about was how cruel it was to do it."
"I did that to deter corrupt officials. How can you lowlifes compare?"
"My lord, we Miao people are willing to cooperate with you. We Miao people are skilled in using poison and Gu poison, and can control the people you want to control."
In that case, no one can escape our grasp.
"Sir, you should know that poisoning is merely a trivial method we employ."
"Using Gu worms to control people's minds is the superior method in our Miao region."
"Isn't the master interested in this at all?"
Upon hearing Lan Fenghuang's words, Li Shizhen immediately became interested.
"Young lady, may we have a heart-to-heart talk? I have many things I am very interested in and would like to ask you for your advice."
