After Bai Zhi whispered something in Su Muxi's ear, Su Muxi looked at Zhou Xun.

“Young Master Zhou, I wasn’t lying when I said the medicinal herbs would be delivered within three days. And before the herbs arrive, I will not allow any danger to any of you, nor will I stand by and watch the people of Fukang County wait to die.”

"I have had people inspect the medicinal herbs in Fukang County and found that most of the herbs that were sent earlier are usable, except for two missing herbs."

"However, the disease is incurable, but the prescription is flexible. As long as those two herbs are replaced with other herbs, this epidemic can also be treated."

"The medicine may be less effective, but it will still alleviate the symptoms and reduce the suffering of the people. Right now, there are many sick people in the city who need your help. I implore you all to trust me this time and help me this time. After this plague is over, I, Su Muxi, will definitely repay you handsomely!"

As she spoke, Su Muxi bowed to everyone.

Her father sent three batches of medicinal herbs. Besides her father, there must have been other people in the city who knew medicine. But it wasn't until Jia Ren brought the herbs and said on the spot that some of the herbs her father sent were fake that everyone realized the medicine was counterfeit.

Therefore, it is impossible that all the medicinal herbs sent by her father were fake; in fact, most of them must have been genuine, with only a small portion being fake.

Her target was too big, so Bai Zhi was sent to investigate.

Although Angelica dahurica doesn't cure diseases, it has been by her side for many years and she still recognizes medicinal herbs.

As Bai Zhi had guessed, most of the medicinal herbs were genuine. With just a slight modification to the prescription, they could be used temporarily.

Tao Rong, upon hearing Su Muxi's promise of a generous reward, was the first to step forward and express his gratitude.

"As a citizen of Jinzhou, I, Tao Rong, am duty-bound to help the people of Fukang County in their time of need!"

For some reason, this time no one raised any objections, and instead, following Tao Rong's lead, they all agreed to stay and help.

However, this time the enthusiasm of the crowd was much weaker than at the beginning.

However, as long as these people don't try to run away or cause her trouble, Su Muxi is satisfied.

Qiao Ziming coldly looked at Tao Rong and slowly walked to Chang Zhong's side.

"Uncle Chang, they've already entered the city."

This means that Chang Zhong can take action now.

But Chang Zhong said calmly, "It's not dark yet, Your Highness. Why don't you take advantage of this time to help Princess Yong'an more?"

"What do you mean?!"

Qiao Ziming asked in a deep voice, his eyes revealing undisguised dissatisfaction with Chang Zhong.

Chang Zhong did not answer his question, but instead strode up to Su Muxi and said, "Your Highness, I will take some people to help carry the medicinal herbs."

Su Muxi glanced at Qiao Ziming subconsciously, thinking that Chang Zhong had come at Qiao Ziming's behest. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, thank you very much, Uncle Chang."

"Bai Zhi, if you come with Uncle Chang, you'll know what medicinal herbs you'll need."

Although Chang Zhong seemed harmless, one should always be wary of others. Before nightfall, nothing else could go wrong, so it was best to remain cautious around Chang Zhong.

Chang Zhong's actions made Qiao Ziming even angrier, and that wasn't all. Awang even sincerely praised Su Muxi beside him.

"The princess is truly amazing; she can solve everything. Being by her side really makes me feel at ease!"

Are you at ease?

really.

Not long ago, he thought Su Muxi couldn't come up with a solution, but he didn't expect that Su Muxi had already asked Bai Zhi to investigate the medicinal herbs in Fukang County.

But the more Su Muxi acted this way, the more resentful Qiao Ziming felt.

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Su Muxi slowly walked to the yamen runners lying on the ground.

With a slight wave of his hand, several guards surrounded them.

Several constables trembled. Their boldness in speaking to Su Muxi earlier was only due to a moment of anger, coupled with the fatigue of the past month and the imbalance in their hearts, which led them to have the idea of ​​not being afraid of death.

But now that they have enough medicinal herbs, they see hope for survival and no longer want to die.

In addition, they were in pain all over their bodies and were afraid that Su Muxi would treat them the same way she treated Liang Juan, so they didn't want to die even more!

But now that their jaws have been dislocated, they can't speak and can only sob and beg for mercy, begging Su Muxi to spare their lives.

But then Su Muxi slowly squatted down and whispered to them, "I know you've been working hard for a month and are exhausted, both physically and mentally. What you just said was because you were provoked by Liang Juan and spoke recklessly out of spite."

Several people nodded vigorously.

Then Su Muxi continued, "I can let you say whatever you want about me, but you should never curse my child. So you can just lie on the ground like this today."

This is to teach you a lesson, so you won't be manipulated again, saying things you shouldn't and losing your lives. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am, and not everyone will spare your lives.

Upon hearing that Su Muxi had spared their lives, the constables nodded frantically again, sobbing a few times in gratitude.

If Su Muxi hadn't seen that these yamen runners had been busy for over a month, she probably wouldn't have let it go so easily.

Let's spare them for the sake of the people of Fukang County.

Su Muxi still felt wronged, so she whispered, "Actually, I'm not arrogant, but these guards have to protect me. You won't harm me, but Jia Ren will. If something happens to me, you will really be doomed."

After saying that, Su Muxi stopped looking at the constables on the ground, got up, and began to direct everyone to work.

Soon, all the medicinal herbs that had been sent to Fukang County before Wei Huan woke up were transported over. Just then, Jia Ren returned from the county government office, bringing with him the unconscious Wei Huan.

"Princess Yong'an, this is Miss Wei! Please come and examine her! Miss Wei is likely not going to make it!"

After Jia finished speaking, seeing Su Muxi approaching, he said in a deep voice, "During the days your father was imprisoned, Miss Wei was the one who brought him food. Miss Wei was deeply in love with your father, but unexpectedly, your father poisoned her in order to escape from prison! ...Alas!"

In one sentence, it revealed the fact that Su Xing was imprisoned, as well as his ingratitude and ruthlessness.

Su Muxi sneered inwardly and withdrew her hand, which was about to take Wei Huan's pulse.

She had originally planned to help Wei Huan take a look, but now she didn't want to anymore!

"Magistrate Jia said that Miss Wei was poisoned by my father? Is there any evidence? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did someone else see it with their own eyes? Perhaps Miss Wei has contracted the plague?"

Furthermore, Magistrate Jia said that Miss Wei was deeply in love with my father, but where does that come from?

This Miss Wei looks to be only in her early twenties, about the same age as me, so how could she be so infatuated with my father?

Magistrate Jia must be joking.

Or is Magistrate Jia trying to falsely accuse my father of being a heartless man and poisoning someone?
