Chapter 147 Picking the Fruit



As for whether Liao Yueming and his group can leave...

Liao Yueming and Xue Lin both looked at Ning Xi'er.

Liao Yueming's daughter is seriously ill and has just received an injection; her antibody levels are high.

However, since Liao Yueming did not receive the injection, it's difficult to generalize about the antibody levels in the other members' bodies.

The contagious nature of the plague should not be taken lightly.

Ning Xi'er then had Liao Yueming bring over all the people he was going to take away so that Ning Xi'er could check them and confirm whether they could leave.

The registrar arrived and took away the wagons carrying the supplies.

Liao Yueming quickly appeared before Ning Xier, carrying his daughter and accompanied by several employees.

Ning Xi'er inserted needles into their fingers, collected a small bottle of blood from each of them, and labeled them accordingly.

Ning Xi'er had Bai Zhi ride a horse back to the city, and arrived at the temple where her carriage was parked...

The caliber was that the medicine being tested was inside the carriage, but in reality, they slipped away unnoticed and into the medical laboratory.

Half an hour later, the test results came out, showing that the bacteria in Liao Yueming's daughter and two employees were inactivated and their antibody levels were high.

Liao Yueming and the other men had a small number of active bacteria in their bodies and low antibody levels.

Bai Zhi immediately rode her horse back to the city gate with Ning Xi'er and injected streptomycin into Liao Yueming and several other men with low antibody levels.

Ning Xi'er had Zheng Ye bring over several horses, all of which had been injected with medication, and gave them to Liao Yueming so that they could travel as quickly as possible.

The price of these horses all exceeded the 20,000 taels offered by Liao Yueming...

Liao Yueming was deeply moved by Ning Xier's trust.

Needless to say, the debt of gratitude for saving my life goes on.

Before leaving, Ning Xi'er asked Bai Zhi to give him two water bags, filled with spiritual spring liquid and electrolytes.

She instructed him that if his daughter or anyone else felt unwell during the process, they could take a supplement, as it contained medicine she had prepared.

He also instructed that, in addition to procuring grain for the people of Yongning, several cartloads of sorghum should be prepared, as Ning Xi'er would need them...

Xue Lin readily agreed, saying that even if the Great Yan didn't have enough, he would still try to recruit the divine physician from the states of Qi and Jin.

Liao Yueming carried her daughter onto her horse, said a brief farewell, and without wasting any more time, spurred her horse and galloped away.

The next morning, Xie Zhun's actions proved effective.

Starting yesterday at noon, notices were posted everywhere, detailing the COVID-19 situation in Yongning County...

Because the situation is clear, although it is noted that the number of infected people is in the hundreds of thousands...

However, the effective measures taken by the county government, briefly described, effectively controlled the spread of the epidemic through isolation, treatment, and prevention...

Furthermore, although the epidemic has been breaking out in Yongning County for several days, no cases of infection have been reported in the surrounding neighboring counties...

These notices did not cause widespread panic among the people. On the contrary, the indifference shown by the prefectural government and Xue Lin to the neighboring county when they tried to borrow grain aroused considerable public indignation.

The common people surrounded the government office, pointing and whispering. Officials who passed by were also ridiculed and insulted by many...

Knowing the cover-up was no longer working, state officials investigated and found that there were indeed no cases of infection in the surrounding counties...

While the notice is despicable, its contents aren't necessarily fabricated...

The prefectural officials ordered their constables to secretly tear down the notices posted around the government office and in the marketplace after nightfall...

The next morning, the yamen was still surrounded. The prefect, in a grand manner, rode in a carriage and led two groups of people deep into the "dangerous area" to personally inspect the epidemic situation in Yongning.

The carriage left the crowd, and the people behind it scoffed.

"It's all an act! The prefect is extremely protective of his life. He probably couldn't sit still because we're watching him every day, so he went out for a stroll and will come back later!"

"Exactly! If he dares to venture deep into Yongning County, I'll cut off my head and use it as a football!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Yongning are locked up inside the city, and their repeated pleas for help have gone unanswered. I heard that Xue was even bullied by the constables! And yet, he still went empty-handed?!"

"A visit to offer condolences? At least bring some food and supplies. Even if it's just for show, how can you say you're going to visit?"

"In my opinion, the prefect must have sent people to investigate and found that the epidemic in Yongning County was almost under control before he was willing to set off to 'reap the rewards'!"

"Don't even mention it! It's quite possible. The higher-ups don't know anything about the matter. Whose credit it really is, they'll just listen to what he says! The prefect is on good terms with our magistrate!"
