The county magistrate's pupils dilated. What had he just heard?

He didn't hear wrong, did he? Right...?

His Highness the War King just said that he has a cure for the plague?

Is this true?

Does that mean the people in their city won't die from the plague?

Is this possible?

Throughout history, there has never been a legendary healer who could conquer a virus like the plague.

Is the good medicine that the prince mentioned meant to stabilize public sentiment?

specially……

this……

"Your Highness... this..."

Ouyang Yuqing noticed that the county magistrate seemed disbelieving and rather indecisive.

He had no patience to waste time arguing with the county magistrate, and he shouted loudly.

"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and open the city gates."

The time spent hesitating could delay the treatment of countless patients.

The disaster victims below also followed me into the city.

I will send people to bring grain into the city for disaster relief later, and I will make sure you have enough to eat.

The refugees below the city had already decided to leave, but after hearing what Ouyang Yuqing said...

The disaster relief food will be distributed later, and the eyes of the disaster victims with low tear ducts are filled with tears.

The disaster victims decided not to leave, because if they left, they might starve to death halfway there.

Although there is a plague, His Highness the War King said he has a good medicine.

Based on His Highness's past reputation, they believed that what the prince said was not a lie.

Moreover, His Highness the War King just said that he wants to provide disaster relief.

Ensure that disaster victims have enough to eat.

The disaster victims were all thinking to themselves, "If I leave, I'll die anyway; if I stay, I might not die."

Besides, if they're going to die, they'd rather die with a full stomach.

The disaster victims weighed the pros and cons and decided to go to the city.

So the disaster victims knelt down excitedly to express their gratitude, praising Ouyang Yuqing for her kindness.

At this moment, the county magistrate was filled with mixed emotions. In his mind, he was frantically shouting, "Open the city gates!"

Ultimately, the county magistrate, unable to withstand the threat of death, allowed the soldiers to open the city gates.

This is because Ouyang Yuqing is guarding the city wall.

The disaster victims lined up in an orderly fashion to enter the city.

After all the disaster victims had entered the city, Ouyang Yuqing gave the order.

From this moment on, the city gates will only allow entry, not exit.

Ouyang Yuqing was decisive and efficient; he followed the rules written by his wife.

While rushing to the government office with the county magistrate, he also arranged for the magistrate to take precautions against the plague and disinfection.

First, Ouyang Yuqing asked the county magistrate to find lime powder.

He also ordered the county magistrate to return to the county office and post a notice instructing the people of the city to burn vinegar at home to kill germs...

The county magistrate was bedridden, with a wet towel stuck to his head.

He had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees Celsius.

At this moment, he felt weak all over and his throat was dry and hoarse.

Even so, he still cared about the people in the city.

The magistrate was extremely anxious, and he kept asking his wife beside him.

"Madam, has Magistrate Zhang returned yet?"

Has the number of disaster victims outside been reduced?

How is the plague spreading now?

Is there any progress with Dr. Li?

The magistrate's wife, who had been serving him, heard her husband ask a whole host of questions.

She frowned and complained, "Master, look at the state you've become!"

You're so worried about this and that, are you trying to kill yourself by putting your body through all this?

What if you praise him? How are we supposed to live then?

Waaah...

When the magistrate heard his wife complaining, he felt sorry for his wife who had suffered with him for so many years.

At this moment, he felt a pang of guilt; perhaps this time they...

As an official appointed by the imperial court, he is in a position where the death rate among the people in the city due to the plague is too high.

Then, as a mere county magistrate, his position as a high-ranking official would inevitably be in jeopardy sooner or later.

The mortality rate will be too high due to this plague.

It's not just about losing your own head; you might also implicate your family...

The county magistrate hesitated. Should he send the mother and her children away?

just in case……
