"Sir, there's someone outside saying that she's a good friend of the Liangzhou prefect, and she's passing by here and wants to pay you a visit. She also said she wants to visit the prefect."
The soldier came to the backyard of the county government office and told County Magistrate Leng about Gao Zhijun.
"Mr. Liangzhou Prefect? Are her words true or false?"
Liangzhou and Qingzhou are far apart, and the prefects of the two states rarely come to live here. Why did the prefect of Liangzhou want to visit the prefect of Qingzhou? He felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.
"I don't think she's lying. Her eyes and demeanor are calm, she doesn't seem to be lying."
The officers and soldiers said affirmatively.
He observed for a while but found no flaws.
"In that case, please invite her to the county government office and I will treat her well."
If it was not fake, as the host, he should treat him well. After all, the rank of the Liangzhou prefect was higher than his.
"Yes, sir. I will invite her to the county government office."
After the officer finished speaking, he saluted the county magistrate, walked out of the county government office, and drove the ox cart back to the city gate.
When they reached the city gate, they said to Gao Zhijun, "Our lord wants to see you!"
"Okay, thank you, sir!"
Gao Zhijun went back and asked Huo Jinzhou to look after the villagers. She took Huo Jinqian on a ox cart and went to the Qingyang County government office.
When we arrived at the county government office, County Magistrate Leng was already waiting at the gate.
"Student Huo Jinqian, Scholar Huo, pays his respects to the County Magistrate."
Huo Jinqian bowed to County Magistrate Leng.
"I, Gao Zhijun, greet the County Magistrate!"
Gao Zhijun also followed Huo Jinqian's example and bowed to County Magistrate Leng.
She didn't want to kneel. Didn't she say, "Kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, kneel to parents?" There was no reason to kneel to a stranger.
She is still not used to the ancient life where she had to kneel down at every turn. In order to avoid having to kneel down, she has to work hard to make herself stronger so that she doesn't have to kneel down to others.
"Okay, I heard that you have a very good relationship with the Liangzhou prefect, so there's no need to bow."
County Magistrate Leng looked at the two people in front of him, a man and a woman. The man was about fifteen years old, handsome and talented, especially his eyes, which seemed familiar.
The girl was about thirteen years old, and was beautiful, with a pretty face and a beauty that could make the moon ashamed of the flowers. If she grew up in a few years, she would definitely be a great beauty, and none of the young ladies in the capital would be able to compare to her.
It’s just a pity that her eyes are too cold and it might be difficult to get along with her.
The two of them standing together look like a perfect match.
Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun were also looking at County Magistrate Leng. He was a man in his twenties, good-looking. Although not handsome, he was also a man of good appearance.
"Sir, we do have a good relationship with the Liangzhou prefect. This visit to you is for another matter."
Gao Zhijun spoke before Huo Jinqian could speak.
Although she is aloof and difficult to get along with, that is under normal circumstances.
If she was on a mission, she must have been very active in her previous life, otherwise she would not have completed the mission and become the top killer in the pavilion.
Just like now, curing the plague is her mission, and she will not allow any mistakes.
"Whatever it is, just tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
County Magistrate Leng was very satisfied with the other party's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and he believed even more that she had a very good relationship with the prefect of Liangzhou, otherwise she would not be able to be neither humble nor arrogant.
"It's because of the plague. I believe you have also noticed that many people in Qingyang County have begun to fall ill, and the doctors can't find the cause of their illness. Moreover, this disease is extremely contagious. If one person falls ill, the whole family living under the same roof will be infected, right?"
Gao Zhijun talked about the symptoms of the plague. Judging from the fact that the people were fleeing famine on the road and the city was not closed, the doctors in Qingyang County could not find out that it was the plague.
Gao Zhijun's words frightened County Magistrate Leng so much that his heart began to pound.
Plague? No wonder the disease developed so quickly and spread so quickly. No wonder doctors couldn't detect it.
If it was really a plague, it would make sense, but the plague cannot be cured, and the people would probably be in great danger.
"Miss Gao, please stop talking nonsense and misleading people. Do you have any evidence to support your claims?"
County Magistrate Leng still didn't quite believe it. How could a little girl tell that it was a plague? She must be talking nonsense and misleading the people.
"Sir, I can indeed cure the plague. Furthermore, I gave the prescription to the Liangzhou prefect ten days ago, and he submitted it to the court this morning. The court will soon distribute the prescription to every prefecture."
Gao Zhijun told County Magistrate Leng what she had said to the prefect about the plague at the Liangzhou government office.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Leng believed her.
If she could really cure the plague, the people under her jurisdiction would not be tortured to death by the plague.
"I trust you. What do you want me to do?"
County Magistrate Leng said politely.
“I hope you can isolate the sick people in one place and send me two doctors.
Then we asked the embroidery house in the county to quickly make masks, which look like this, with some mugwort inside, which can play a preventive role.
The government provided the money for these masks, and the fabric was cotton, which was then made and given to the people free of charge."
"Also, have officials go to each town and village and bring sick villagers to the town for centralized isolation. I will bring two doctors to each town to provide medical treatment.
Also, all pharmacies in the county are required to fully cooperate with us."
"Finally, I have one small request. I'm going to Taizhou with a group of villagers to settle down. I'd like you to find me a yard to live in temporarily. I'll pay the rent!"
Gao Zhijun told the county magistrate what needed to be done to control the plague and asked him to help her find a place to accommodate her family and villagers.
