Two officials, one dressed in blue and the other in green, stopped about ten meters from the fence.

"Seven Seven, it seems two officials have arrived," Li Changlong said.

During the Jin Dynasty, county magistrates wore blue robes with official badges, while county prefects wore green robes with official badges.

Lu Qiqi said, "Let's go take a look."

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them rushed to the village entrance, wanting to know why the government officials had suddenly come.

Village Chief Tian was so anxious and angry that he wished he could tie up all the villagers.

Just as he was at a loss, he turned his head and saw Zhu Datou.

At this moment, Zhu Datou was fanning the person wearing a green official robe.

The person who could make Zhu Datou fan himself must be a high-ranking official, even more powerful than him. Village Chief Tian's eyes darted around, and he shouted, "The county magistrate is here!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers gradually fell silent.

Despite their commotion, they were ultimately unafraid of power and dared not risk their lives.

After all, they caused trouble because they wanted to survive.

Seeing that the villagers had calmed down, the magistrate said to Zhu Datou, "Go and tell them about the good deeds the Second Prince did for them, so that these villagers don't receive the favors without even knowing who the benefactor was."

"Yes," Zhu Datou nodded in agreement.

Then, they slowly walked towards the fence, at an extremely slow pace, as if they were being executed.

This is practically like going to Xingtai!

The villagers ahead are all infected with the plague. If he were to contract the plague, it would be disastrous.

However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk toward the fence, unable to disobey the words of the magistrate sent by the second prince.

Reaching the fence, Tian Dalong fawned over him, bowing and smiling, "This humble subject greets Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Get out of here, get away from here!" Zhu Datou covered his mouth and nose with one hand and chased Tian Dalong away with disgust.

Tian Dalong quickly retreated, afraid that if he was too late, he would displease Zhu Datou and make an example of him.

Zhu Datou waited until Tian Dalong had retreated a meter away before saying, "I've come today to bring you some good news. The Second Prince of this dynasty is kind-hearted. Upon learning of the severe plague in Heshun Prefecture, he is willing to donate funds to treat the villagers."

When the villagers heard this news, they thought they were dreaming.

Did the second prince spend money to treat their illnesses?

"Did I hear that right? The master said that the Second Prince is spending money to treat the illnesses in our village?"

"I think I heard that too, I must have heard it correctly!"

"That's great! We're saved!"

"The Second Prince is so good to the people!"

When Tian Dalong heard this good news, he was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

But his joy lasted only three seconds, because he remembered that he had spent a lot of money to buy ginseng the night before.

To raise the money, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they went bankrupt.

So it seems that he got nothing but half a chopped-up ginseng!

And this half-ginseng root, if sold at a pharmacy, would be worthless!

Thinking of this, Tian Dalong's vision went black, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

He kept muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's all over!"

If the magistrate and county head of Heshun Prefecture are personally present at the village entrance, then the agreement will naturally stand.

After kneeling in gratitude, the villagers of Tianlong Village returned to their village.

Lu Qiqi and Li Changlong followed the crowd into the village.

Regardless of the process, as long as the villagers have access to medicine, their efforts will not have been in vain.

...

"Don't rush, don't rush, everyone gets one, please line up first."

With the Second Prince's protection, the ginseng that the villagers needed was quickly delivered to Tianlong Village.

The villagers who have entered the final stage of treatment are just as eager to receive and take their medicine as they were in Tianxin Village.

However, after Lu Qiqi proposed the plan to sign the order, there were no more cases of people taking more or less medicine.

Time flew by and it was already mid-May; the weather was gradually getting warmer.

The plague was brought under control in several nearby villages centered around Tianlong Village, and patients were gradually cured.

That day, Lu Qiqi went to the threshing ground as usual to take pulses and diagnose the villagers.

She found a desk to sit down and began taking the pulses of the villagers who had lined up in a long queue.

"Doctor, am I almost fully recovered?" a middle-aged man asked.

Lu Qiqi placed her fingers on his wrist and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "You've fully recovered and don't need to come to get your medication anymore."

Upon hearing Lu Qiqi's words, the middle-aged man picked at his ear with his right index finger. "Did I hear that right? It's really healed?"

Seeing the middle-aged man's reaction, Lu Qiqi smiled inwardly and said, "It's really all better now, but from now on you have to clean everything in the house. Dishes and dishes should be boiled in boiling water to disinfect them, and food must be washed and cooked before eating. In particular, you can't drink well water directly; you have to drink boiled water."

The middle-aged man, regardless of whether he understood or not, kept nodding, "Okay, okay, thank you, doctor."

Seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, Lu Qiqi knew that he hadn't listened to a word she said, otherwise he wouldn't have answered so quickly and without any questions.

After the middle-aged man left, Lu Qiqi called over a doctor and said, "Write down what I told you today and post it on the notice board in Tianlong Village so that the villagers can see it for themselves."

The simpler and clearer it is, the better. Otherwise, the villagers won't understand, and we'll have wasted our efforts.

The doctor nodded. "Okay, I'll go right away."

The illness in Tianlong Village has been cured, and Tianmiao Village and Tianping Village have also recovered thanks to the joint efforts of more than a dozen doctors.

Thus, the plague in Heshun Prefecture was declared over.

After the plague was cured, the dozen or so doctors were about to return to Luzhou Prefecture.

Previously, Dr. Wu had contracted the plague, and the government was afraid that he would infect others if he went out after just recovering, so they kept him in Tianxin Village.

Lu Qiqi also needed to return to Tianxin Village to retrieve her carriage, so the dozen or so doctors returned to Tianxin Village together.

The soldiers at the entrance of Tianxin Village have withdrawn, but government officials can still be seen guarding the entrance.

The villagers of Tianxin Village can come and go freely, but they need to register.

Lu Qiqi spotted He Jun with her sharp eyes. Before she could even prepare to take a detour, He Jun nodded first and said, "Miss Lu."

Lu Qiqi nodded without saying a word.

He Jun was a henchman of corrupt officials and had even tested her, proving that they were not on the same side.

Moreover, their past issues have long been settled, and they owe each other nothing.

She figured they wouldn't have any further contact in the future, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

He Jun said, "Miss Lu, Doctor Gao's crimes are heinous. He instigated the villagers to flee, causing the deaths of nine villagers. He is to be punished for multiple crimes. Magistrate Zhu ordered Doctor Gao to be exiled three thousand li away the day before yesterday, his property confiscated, and he to remain guarding the border. The news has already been sent to Luzhou Prefecture."

Lu Qiqi didn't expect that He Jun came to tell her how Doctor Gao was judged by the government and what kind of punishment he received.

"Thank you for the information." Lu Qiqi nodded her thanks and then strode into the village.

Li Changlong and Zhou Yi quickly followed behind.
