Chapter 107: Emptying the County Magistrate's Mansion and Saving the Beautiful Concubine



"The thing the miracle doctor mentioned is inside. Here is the key. Please, miracle doctor."

Along the way, Jiang Li kept explaining to the housekeeper how terrible the virus was, so much so that the housekeeper had no intention of following in.

As if seeing through the housekeeper's thoughts, Jiang Li rummaged through the medicine box and took out a few medicine bags.

"Boil this for three incense sticks, then have everyone who has come into contact with it wash their faces and hands as a precaution. Butler, you can wash the first pot of water, it will be most effective."

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper quickly took it and said, "Thank you, doctor."

Finally, when Jiang Li entered the cell and walked around the stone wall, he saw several people who were chained.

The light in the cell was very dim. Jiang Li walked closer and saw that there were two men and three women locked up.

They looked clean, as if someone had washed them regularly, but they looked dazed, as if they were completely unaware of everything around them.

“Bang, bang.”

Jiang Li knocked gently on the iron door of the cell. Before she could say anything, she saw several women half leaning against the wall hugging each other and shaking when they heard the sound.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you."

Jiang Li whispered to comfort them. She knew that these people could not understand what she was saying at all, and it was wishful thinking to rescue them now.

So, she covered her nose, took out the incense, and waited until everyone inside fell asleep before opening the prison door.

If you want to know what's going on with them, the fastest way is to get the serum into the system for inspection.

Jiang Li looked around a few times before using the medicine box to cover himself and taking out the tools from the system.

When Jiang Li came out of the cell, the housekeeper was already waiting outside.

"I have the medicine, but the herbs needed this time are all rare and hard to find. I wonder..."

Hearing Jiang Li say this, the housekeeper quickly responded, "Doctor, don't worry about this. I will take you to the warehouse now. Doctor, you may not know that the best medicinal herbs within hundreds of miles are all in our county governor's mansion."

The housekeeper couldn't help but chat with Jiang Li for a few more words.

Jiang Li was also blindfolded and brought to the warehouse in a sedan chair. The housekeeper opened the door and said, "Godly doctor, please."

"How about this, let's speed up. I'll draw a few for you, and I'll ask you to help me look for them, butler."

Before the housekeeper could react, Jiang Li chua (pronounced "chua" with the fourth tone) wrote a few strokes and handed the medicinal herbs map to the housekeeper.

Thinking that both of them were in the warehouse and there were guards outside the door, the butler was not worried about anything else.

Just like that, while the housekeeper was searching for the herb according to the map, Jiang Li opened the brocade boxes containing top-grade medicinal herbs one by one and put the goodies inside into the space. While putting them away, he sighed that these medicinal herbs might be rare even in the national treasury!

However, she still suppressed her smile and pretended to sigh, "Tsk, this is not quite cooked enough."

"Tsk, this won't work."

"Tsk, it's a bit rare these days."

“…”

The more the housekeeper listened, the more he felt that Jiang Li was indeed knowledgeable. Otherwise, if it were the other doctors, they would have been amazed.

"Okay, now that we've found everything, let's go."

After emptying almost all of County Magistrate Huang's treasured possessions, Jiang Li finally closed the brocade boxes with satisfaction. Seeing that the housekeeper hadn't noticed anything unusual, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Now the County Magistrate's illness is cured."

After taking the herbs and prescription from Jiang Li, the butler nodded and quickly locked the warehouse. He then handed the prescription to a guard and asked him to take it to the palace doctor for a look. Then he took Jiang Li back to the main courtyard.

Huang Shurong was initially skeptical after hearing about Jiang Li's troubles. However, after Jiang Li finished giving Huang Junshou the acupuncture, the unconscious Huang Junshou suddenly responded.

Although he groaned twice and fainted again, Huang Shurong and the housekeeper no longer had any doubts.

"Next, take the medicine according to the prescription. Within three days, County Magistrate Huang will be fine." Jiang Li put away the needle. When he gave the final instructions, he unconsciously looked at Huang Shurong with an expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"If you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

"Excuse me, young lady, have you come into contact with dirty things on a daily basis? I found..." Jiang Li told Huang Shurong about her athlete's foot problem in her ear. Huang Shurong simply couldn't accept it anymore. Before, it was just the foot odor that was difficult to get rid of, but this morning she woke up with unbearable itching. Although the court doctor prescribed medicine, it was not of much use, so she could only endure it.

Hearing this, Huang Shurong's eyes lit up, "Does the miracle doctor have any solution?"

After being fooled again, Jiang Li was taken to Huang Shurong's backyard.

According to Jiang Li, it was because one of her lovers was not clean and that was how she got infected. Of course, the real reason was that Jiang Li sprinkled the powder on Huang Shurong's shoes during dinner last night when she was not paying attention.

In front of Huang Shurong, Jiang Li checked all the concubines one by one, pointed at one of them and said, "This one can no longer stay with the young lady."

The man being pointed at had long, slender eyebrows, a pointed chin, and long eyelashes that gently clung to his eyes. To describe his face as beautiful as jade was just the right description. Furthermore, his skin was a few shades whiter than the others, making him stand out among the dozen or so other handsome men.

Huang Shurong's first reaction when he saw it was to completely believe Jiang Li's words.

It was because this man's name was Wenxuan, and he was her favorite lover. Not only did he take the initiative to enter the mansion, he also served her well on a daily basis. It could be said that he was the one who stayed with her the longest.

When Wen Xuan heard that he was going to be driven out of the house, he immediately looked unwilling. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Li giving him a look behind Huang Shurong's back.

However, when Huang Shurong saw Wen Xuan's expression, she felt that this man just didn't want to leave her!

"A miracle doctor." After thinking for a moment, Huang Shurong took Jiang Li to the side and asked, "If we want to keep him, is there any way?"

Jiang Li sighed upon hearing this, "If Miss insists on doing this, unless..."

"Whatever you say, my doctor, I will do as you say."

Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then said, "How about this, if you trust me, then let this person come with me. I'll remove the virus from him and return him to you in two days."

He originally planned to keep Jiang Liqiang at home, but he was worried that if he angered him, he would be unwilling to treat him, which would not be worth the loss.

Therefore, Huang Shurong hurriedly sent for the housekeeper and prepared a hundred taels of gold. "Thank you for your hard work, doctor. We will give you the remaining half of the consultation fee when this is over."

With the temptation of a hundred taels of gold, she didn't worry that the man wouldn't come back.

Just like that, after Jiang Li returned to the house rented by Bai Zhi and closed the door completely, he took off his disguise.

"Surprised?"

Jiang Li looked at Wen Xuan with a smile, "Do you know why I brought you out?"

Hua Wenxuan was completely confused at this moment and had no idea how to react.

"I went to the cell today and met your brother. You two look a lot alike."

Jiang Li said with a serious face, "To make a long story short, I know you went to the County Magistrate's Mansion to be his concubine in order to save your brother, so I need you to tell me everything you know."

"Not only for your brother, but also for those who are still being tortured by them, or even those who have died at their hands."
