Chapter 471 She's Back

For safety reasons, Su Ying took back her means of transportation and planned to ride back on horseback.

Su Ying jumped on the horse and turned to run to the other side of the trail. Judging from the terrain that the drone sent to yesterday, there was a trail here that could lead them back to Luocheng faster.

Luocheng, inside the government office.

After returning to the city, Wei Zhongming was unable to sleep or eat. He was unsure of Xiao Jin's identity. He wanted to bribe him but was worried that the other party would not fall for it. Acting rashly would leave him with evidence.

"Sir, please stop walking around. I'm almost dizzy from you."

Wei Zhongming glared, "It's all because of you guys who are not doing your job well, otherwise how could I be so worried?"

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. It's all my fault. But don't worry, your Excellency. Isn't there good news?"

Wei Zhongming paused and asked in confusion: "What good news?"

"That Miss Zhou Xiangrong, she really cured the plague!"

"What? Really? Are you sure?" Wei Zhongming suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing, otherwise how could he hear such incredible words?

"Yes, sir, it is absolutely true! As of today, many seriously ill patients in the city have fully recovered and are clamoring to go home."

Wei Zhongming still didn't believe it. Throughout history, epidemics were not so easy to cure. They took at least a few months, and at most several years or even ten years. It had only been a few days. Could Zhou Xiangrong be a god who had descended to earth?

"I'll go and take a look." He just didn't believe it.

The housekeeper took Wei Zhongming to the dilapidated temple in the city where the patients were looked after. As soon as they arrived outside the door, they saw many patients blocking the door and shouting and making a fuss.

"We're ready, we're going out."

"Let us out, we are not sick anymore. Even if we are well, you still lock us up with those sick people. What if we get infected again?"

"Stop making trouble and be quiet!" The officers and soldiers tried their best to stop them. If there weren't so many people, the patients would have rushed out.

Wei Zhongming quickly hid away from the situation and said to the housekeeper, "Go, find the doctor and ask him what's going on."

"yes."

The housekeeper walked outside and shouted, "Don't worry, everyone. Lord Wei is here to see you. Lord Wei said that as long as the doctor confirms that you have recovered, you can leave on your own."

After the housekeeper shouted this, the patients calmed down.

"Where are the doctors? Go find all the doctors inside for me. The master wants to see them."

The officers and soldiers went in to look for someone, and soon several doctors came out.

"Greetings, sir."

Wei Zhongming waved his hands and asked anxiously, "Are those people really no longer sick? Are they all well?"

The doctors looked at each other, and an old doctor with gray hair and beard spoke hesitantly, "We cannot be sure about this, but judging from the pulse, the patient is indeed fine."

"Please make this clear."

"Sir, I just want to say that we, the common people, can't see any problem with them."

Wei Zhongming frowned and said nothing. Is he really healed?

But he still couldn't quite believe it, so he went to find several doctors to examine them. The conclusions reached by these doctors were surprisingly consistent: there was no problem.

"Really?"

Wei Zhongming was overjoyed. The epidemic was cured in less than half a month. This was unique in the State of Chu!

"Go, bring those Miss Zhou back to me immediately, and I will reward you handsomely."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard ran up to Wei Zhongming and said, "Sir, the Queen is back."

Wei Zhongming's eyebrows jumped, "You're back? How did you come back?"

The guard said, "He came back on horseback."

Wei Zhongming glared and said, "I am asking if she was captured?"

The guard shook his head, "No, I came back on horseback by myself."

Wei Zhongming couldn't deal with this. Didn't someone catch her? Didn't they catch her?

"Let's go back home first."

"yes."

Su Ying came back on horseback. After entering the city, she even got a horse-drawn carriage and put the official's body and the unconscious Zhou Qing in it.

After returning to the government office, she asked the guards to contact the official's family and sent Zhou Qing back to the house.

As soon as things were arranged, she ran to the kitchen, got some water from the space, boiled a large bucket of water to take a good bath, as she hadn't been able to take a bath for several days.

Wei Zhongming rushed back and the people in the mansion told him that Su Ying was taking a bath.

Wei Zhongming sneered. The people had no water to drink, but she still dared to be so arrogant. "Go, surround the guest house where she is. Don't let her come out." He was just waiting for Xiao Jin to come back and catch him in the trap!

After Su Ying closed the bathroom door, she took off her clothes and soaked comfortably in the hot water. The moment her body was wrapped in the hot water, she let out a comfortable breath.

She leaned on the edge of the barrel and closed her eyes in enjoyment.

After Wei Zhongming sent people to surround the guest courtyard, he waited in the study. He might be able to accomplish two big things this year. The first was to catch the fake queen, and the second was to tell Xiao Jin that he had solved the epidemic!

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongming's steps became lighter.

"Sir, the lord from the capital is back."

Wei Zhongming could hardly hide the smile on his face, "It's good to be back, it's wonderful to be back."

He hurried out and saw Xiao Jin with blazing black eyes walking towards him.

"My Lord, I have tricked her back and she is now in the guest house. I have ordered people to seal off the guest house and we can arrest those who pretend to be the queen at any time!"

Xiao Jin paused, and grabbed Wei Zhongming's collar, "What did you say? Where is he now?"

When Wei Zhongming saw Xiao Jin’s excitement, he knew that Su Ying was finished!

"It's in the guest house. I'll take you there right away."

"Walk!"

Xiao Jin was walking in front, and Wei Zhongming had to almost run to catch up with him.

After they arrived outside the guest house, Wei Zhongming panted and pointed at the gate, "He's right inside. As long as you give the order, I'll have them arrest him immediately!"

"Get out, everyone get out."

Before Wei Zhongming could come to his senses, he saw Xiao Jin rushing in like a gust of wind.

"Hey, sir... don't take any risks!" Could it be that Xiao Jin wanted to grab all the credit?

Wei Zhongming wanted to follow, but he was afraid of Su Ying's fist. After thinking it over, he decided to stay outside the yard.

Xiao Jin walked quickly into the guest house, and when he reached the door, he slowed down his steps, as if he was afraid of accidentally disturbing the people inside and disappearing again.

He pushed the door open and walked in, but there was no one in the room. Instead, he could hear a slight sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Xiao Jin's brows moved and he knocked lightly on the door.

A cold question came from the clean room, "Who is it?"

The moment he heard the sound, Xiao Jin felt like his breathing was about to stop!
