Meng Zhenshou immediately wilted.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

Meng Zhenshou raised his foot, intending to kick the magistrate of Sishui County off the ground.

Unexpectedly, the moment his foot touched the magistrate's body, the magistrate grabbed his foot.

"Oh, my darling! You've finally arrived! I've been holding back for so long! Let me have some fun!"

As they were talking, the magistrate's hands became restless, moving down Meng Zhenshou's leg and touching his buttocks.

Meng Zhenshou was furious. He wanted to scold him, but the magistrate grabbed his buttocks and started kneading them.

Meng Zhenshou felt a surge of pleasure; his head tingled, and he squinted at the fat, pig-like county magistrate.

Just as he was pondering whether he should make do with this fat pig for the day, the sound of the door being broken down suddenly came from the doorway.

Meng Zhenshou turned his head in alarm and saw a large group of guards surrounding the prefect standing at the door of the guest room.

"This is an insult to scholarship! It is utterly an insult to scholarship!"

The prefect in charge was so enraged by their lewd behavior that his eyes went black.

"Meng Zhenshou, Magistrate Zhu, how dare you two! You actually dared to try and fool me with aphrodisiacs meant for cattle!"

"If I hadn't been extra careful today and mixed the medicine into the pastries before you ate them, then now..."

The prefect didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.

If the medicine hadn't been mixed into the pastries first and let them eat them, the one now burning with lust and disgracing his reputation would be the prefect!

Although the prefect looks relatively young, he is actually over fifty years old and a typical old man.

Now that he has been infected with the plague and is already weak, if he were to be given such a strong medicine, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he might not even be able to save his life!

The prefect had obviously thought of these things as well, and his face grew increasingly grim, his gaze toward Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou becoming increasingly angry.

Meng Zhenshou was so frightened that his limbs went limp and he didn't know what to do.

Magistrate Zhu, however, remained composed. In the deathly silence, his mind wandered, and he continued to utter vulgarities while gripping Meng Zhenshou's thigh.

"Oh, my darling~ Your legs feel so smooth today, and your butt is so perky, I love it so much, let me kiss you a couple of times~"

The straight-laced prefect: "..."

Holy crap! In his fifty-plus years of life, he had never seen such an appalling scene!

He couldn't stand it any longer and gritted his teeth, ordering, "What are you all standing there for! Get those two out of here and lock them up! I'll settle accounts with them after the pandemic is over!"

Unlike the tragic situations of Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou.

In another guest room of the prefect's residence.

Wan Shu and San Shun were leisurely enjoying the meal prepared for them by the prefect.

Because of the plague, the meat consumed at the prefect's residence was strictly controlled, and all the dishes on the table were green.

Sam-soon ate absentmindedly, looking slightly worried.

"Mother, do you think the prefect will really believe us?"

Wan Shu really couldn't get used to the green dishes on the table, so he took out a bag of beef jerky that Er Ya had specially packed for them from his package.

He ate beef jerky as a snack while calmly answering the question.

"Since the prefect has kept us here, he will verify the truth in the end, whether we believe it or not. With his abilities, he will surely find out the truth."

"If things go quickly, we might get the results in a little while."

Wan Shu was right; the prefect arrived almost immediately after they finished eating.

The prefect looked very excited.

"After using the allicin you gave me, Dahei's condition has improved significantly in just half a day!"

Dahei was a large black dog kept by the prefect.

He was usually very favored; whenever the prefect ate meat, he would always share some with Dahei.

So Big Black also unfortunately contracted the plague.

The prefect originally did not intend to use Dahei to test the medicine. Firstly, he was reluctant to part with his beloved dog, and secondly, he felt that there were differences between humans and dogs, and he was afraid that the medicine would not be effective and would harm the people.

He was very old and terminally ill, and originally wanted to risk his life.

Just as Sheng was about to take his medicine, a guard came to deliver a message that a village woman named Wan Shu had come to see him.

The prefect remembered that Wan Shu was the one who discovered how to eat potatoes.

In his view, Wan Shu was not an ordinary village woman, but an extraordinary woman.

So when he heard Wan Shu's claim that "the allicin was stolen from me by Magistrate Zhu, and what they stole was not allicin, but an aphrodisiac for cattle," he wasn't particularly surprised.

However, he did not immediately believe it. Instead, he first used Dahei to test the efficacy of the genuine garlic extract given by Wanshu.

He then secretly sent a message to Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou to come over and voluntarily take the aphrodisiac for the cattle.

Although he wasn't particularly surprised, deep down he found it hard to believe such a fallacy.

After all, Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou weren't fools; how could they possibly make such a basic mistake?

However, the results of subsequent experiments proved him wrong.

Damn it! Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou are really idiots! They brought him aphrodisiacs meant for enslaving cattle!

Even now, the prefect still feels lingering fear when he talks about it.

"You wouldn't believe it, when I arrived, Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou were almost..."

The prefect was so ashamed that he couldn't even speak, and he also felt it was inappropriate to talk about this in front of Wan Shu, a woman, so he changed the subject.

"Don't worry, Madam Wan, I will not tolerate those two stealing your garlic extract! I will interrogate them properly after the epidemic is over!"

"You don't need to worry about them escaping. I've already sent people to imprison both of them together. They'll have no chance of getting away!"

Wan Shu: "..." Is it possible that if you lock up two people who have been drugged with aphrodisiacs, they certainly can't escape even if they have wings, but! One of them might also have something else inserted into him/her!!!

Just thinking about that scene made her shudder.

This is absolutely disgusting!

However, since Magistrate Zhu and Meng Zhenshou were reaping what they sowed, Wan Shu did not intend to remind the Prefect.

The prefect continued, "You have accomplished a great feat by developing a medicine to treat the plague! Would you be willing to teach the doctors in the prefecture how to develop this medicine so that it can benefit the people?"

Wan Shu smiled and said, "Prefect, this is actually the purpose of my visit to the prefectural city."

The prefect was deeply moved and immediately sent people to invite all the famous doctors in the prefectural city.

When the renowned doctors in the prefectural city heard that someone had developed a formula to treat the plague, they all assumed that the prefect had found a miracle doctor from somewhere.

They rushed over and were all dumbfounded.

This is no miracle doctor! This is clearly an exceptionally beautiful woman, and judging from her clothes, she's an uneducated village woman!
