The next day.
There were a rare crowd of people gathered in front of the notice wall outside the Rongcheng government office.
"A large reward is offered! If any miracle doctor can cure the county magistrate's acute illness, a reward of one hundred taels of gold will be given!"
"Has the county magistrate fallen ill?"
"I don't know. I heard that Mr. Chen even hosted a banquet for the county governor a few days ago, and he's been bragging about it for days!"
“…”
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, but unfortunately no one stepped forward to take down the notice, several yamen runners came forward with gloomy faces and shouted, "What are you arguing about! If you can take down the notice, do it. If you can't, get out of the way!"
The yamen runners became more and more depressed the more they thought about it. They were kicked and scolded by the prefect early in the morning. He said that in such a big Rongcheng County, there was not even a good doctor. They might as well go back home and farm!
"You think we can be blamed for this? I heard that before dawn today, all the famous doctors in Rongcheng were invited to the county magistrate's office. Later, they had no other choice but to post a notice offering a reward. Can we really get it?"
"Alright, alright, keep your voices down." The older-looking yamen runner glared at the person who was speaking. "The county magistrate suddenly fell ill, and our prefect was helpless, so he took his anger out on us."
"But... the prefect said that if we can't find it, we'll have to go home! This is too unlucky... Hey! Wait, where did you come from, a charlatan, and you dare to take down the list?"
Before he could finish his words, the yamen runner saw a short-headed quack doctor, followed by a man who looked like a medicine boy, holding a banner with the words "Miraculous Healer" in his hand. The two of them stood in front of the notice wall and looked at it for a few seconds. Then the short man stood on tiptoe and tore down the list.
That’s right, the person who had the confidence to tear down the bounty list was naturally Jiang Li, who had disguised himself early in the morning.
As for the person following behind him, it was the easy-going Mo Qi.
Letting Mo Qi follow and protect Jiang Li was Gu Qingchen's final bottom line after finalizing the plan last night.
Jiang Li stroked his fake beard and nodded while holding the list. "Hello, yamen runner, please allow me to introduce myself first. I am He Qiliao, also known as the Miraculous Doctor He."
The voice she made after taking the voice-changing pills was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, and it sounded quite suitable for her thin figure, so it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
However, the leading yamen runner looked at Jiang Li for a long time and could not accept that the dwarf in front of him was a miracle doctor. He thought, what if he was here to cheat people out of money? Then the prefect would have to give them trouble!
Thinking of this, the yamen runner scolded: "Oh, you're a miracle doctor? I think you look more like a barefoot immortal. Let me tell you, you want to treat our county magistrate, don't just come and try to get in on the fun!"
Jiang Li's face lit up with pride when he heard that. "Tsk tsk tsk, you sound like someone with a weak spleen and shortness of breath. Lately, you've been feeling sleepy during the day, and having trouble falling asleep at night."
"This..." The yamen runner was stunned, "How...how do you know?"
"As for you," Jiang Li turned his head to look at another yamen runner, "even though you're young, you have a lump on your wrist. It's often painful, especially where you apply force when lifting the knife. The pain is the worst."
"What a miracle doctor!" The young yamen runner was surprised after hearing this. This uneducated doctor was quite talented. The young yamen runner asked quickly, "Does the doctor have any good ideas?"
Jiang Li turned around and took out a silver needle from the medicine box in Mo Qi's hand. She stepped forward and pricked the young yamen runner several times. After a few breaths, she pulled it out and said, "Why don't you try rubbing it again?"
"It really doesn't hurt anymore!" The little yamen runner showed a happy expression, "Brother, this man is really amazing!"
Seeing this, the yamen runner did not dare to delay any longer and quickly waved for his men to bring the sedan chair over. "In that case, please come this way, the miracle doctor."
In this way, the sedan chair arrived at the county governor's gate. When the yamen runner who led the way handed Jiang Li to the county governor's housekeeper, he suddenly received a prescription from the yamen runner. "Thank you for your hard work, yamen runner. Follow this prescription and your troubles will be gone in three days."
"Thank you, miracle doctor."
Holding the prescription and looking at Jiang Li's back, the yamen runner cursed himself a thousand times in his heart. He was such a kind and miraculous doctor, but he had actually made things difficult for him at the beginning. He was simply not a human being!
As for the kindhearted Jiang Li, she followed the housekeeper all the way, humming a little tune and looking around at the county magistrate's mansion.
only--
After taking only two steps, the butler stopped, clapped his hands, and several people appeared carrying a sedan chair.
"Doctor He, there are many rules in the mansion. I'm sorry for offending you."
After saying that, a man came forward and tied a black cloth over Jiang Li's eyes.
"Wait, what about my medicine boy?"
"Don't worry, Doctor He. He's waiting at the gatehouse."
Before Jiang Li could respond, someone took the medicine box directly from Mo Qi's hand, and another person came and took Mo Qi away.
With so much cover-up, it seems that there is a big problem in the county magistrate's office.
Jiang Li sat in the sedan chair, feeling the general route, and hoped that everything would go smoothly for Gu Qingchen.
"Miss, the doctor is here."
When Jiang Li opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at County Magistrate Huang's room.
Huang Shurong stood by the bed with red eyes, looking like a filial daughter.
"Let him come and see."
At dawn today, Huang Shurong was suddenly awakened by a servant who said that her father was unconscious in the study. The court doctor had already checked on him but was helpless.
Therefore, Huang Shurong had no time to look for Gu Qingchen, who had knocked her unconscious last night. After all, if anything happened to her father, everything she had would be gone. Naturally, she couldn't recognize Jiang Li in her disguise.
"This smell..." Before Jiang Li even walked into the bed, he pretended to squint his eyes, sniffed the air a few times, and then described County Magistrate Huang's symptoms one by one.
