[Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (33)]
Yan Qing raised her finger and said, "I swear in the name of Yan Qing, the daughter of the general's mansion, that if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
Hearing that she was not an ordinary female doctor, everyone's expressions changed several times.
There is only one general named Yan in Dayan, Yan Wanshan, but he is a famous hero.
And seeing that she was so confident and dared to swear in public, they were already 70% convinced.
"The cure has been released, but is it true?" a loud voice came.
A man pushed through the crowd and staggered out, his bloodless lips trembling and unable to close.
It was Doctor Hu who, after being poisoned, thought he was sick and voluntarily stayed in isolation in the epidemic area.
Yan Qing pulled Lian Qiao in front of him and said, "This girl has been here for a few days. Do you see any signs of her being infected?"
After feeling Lian Qiao's pulse, Doctor Hu nodded excitedly: "The pulse is strong, and there is no external fever."
Yan Qing said confidently: "I met the little girl outside the city. I gave her a heat-clearing pill on the carriage that took her into the city."
After all, she once worked part-time as the fortune teller "Shangqing Zhenren", and now when she deceives people, she has an aura that can make people convinced.
After pretending to be profound and keeping everyone in suspense, she continued, "Since there are drugs that can protect us, it is not difficult to research a prescription to resolve the epidemic."
She almost blurted out the word "antidote", but fortunately she corrected herself in time.
Lian Qiao blinked and looked at her in confusion. When she curled her lips, she also smiled brightly.
"I apologize to you for my previous contempt and rudeness." Doctor Hu bowed deeply.
Yan Qing hurriedly supported him and said, "You are a highly respected imperial physician in the palace. How can I be worthy of your respect?"
Doctor Hu felt a little ashamed. He was just a marginal figure in the Imperial Medical Bureau and was not worthy of the title of highly respected.
But since this hat was presented to him in public, he could only take it and put it on carefully.
Smiling and stroking his beard, he waved his hand modestly: "No, no, it doesn't matter how old you are. I have the advantage of age, but I can't compare to your talent, girl."
Everyone didn't know Doctor Hu, but they all knew that he was infected with the disease while trying to treat them.
Besides, he was the imperial physician who treated the emperor, so his words were convincing.
All the doubts in the hearts of the suffering people were dispelled.
Seeing that the conversation would turn into a stage for the two to flatter each other, Yan Qing coughed and promised again that he would cure everyone.
Then he pulled Lian Qiao and wanted to leave.
The crowd gradually made way for the two, raising their fists and shouting, "Long live Miss Yan!"
The eyes longing to live are like lamps trying their best to light up a faint light.
Doctor Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that the word "Long live" should not be used casually.
But everyone's eyes were full of hope, and he was afraid that saying more would cause dissatisfaction, so he simply covered his mouth with his hands while coughing and kept silent, and followed Yan Qing tremblingly.
Yan Qing raised his hand, and the voices of the crowd gradually faded away.
They had already reached the border of the epidemic area, but the people outside would not let her and Lian Qiao out.
"What do you mean, Lord Xie?" She was not wearing a hood and looked at Governor Xie with an unhappy face, who had covered his mouth and nose tightly.
Governor Xie said loudly: "Madam Zuo Xiang, you are very brave to go deep into the epidemic area, but the plague is extremely contagious. For the sake of the health of the people in the city, I dare not let you out."
He spoke in a high-sounding manner, and was followed by a group of rich people in the city who had not been infected with the disease to witness his glorious image.
The compliments behind him, such as "Thank you, sir, for loving the people like your own children," made him stand up even straighter.
Yan Qing didn't say anything. He patted Lian Qiao beside him and signaled her to find someone with a loud voice.
She smiled and said, "Master Xie is right."
"The wife of the Left Prime Minister is very wise." Governor Xie bowed in a pretentious manner.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind him. He tore off the scarf on his face and glared at the people next to him: "What's going on?"
The crowds of people rushed forward as if they were attending a parade, surrounding the people invited by Governor Xie to perform, making it impossible to get through.
"My beautiful lady, Brother Daniu is here. He used to be a night watchman and has a very loud voice." Lian Qiao pushed through the crowd and brought a strong and muscular man.
The amount of poison they were infected with was small and not very toxic, not enough to cause death, but it would cause a high fever on the skin similar to an epidemic.
However, many elderly people in the epidemic area already have chronic illnesses, and even a little bit of toxin invading their bodies can cause them to pass away.
There were dozens of bodies of elderly people being carried out, which caused great panic.
Yan Qing falsely claimed that Lian Qiao had taken the pills she developed, which protected her from infection, and this undoubtedly gave everyone peace of mind.
She glanced at Mo Sanniang, who was wearing a red dress outside the epidemic area, and told Daniu that he only needed to repeat what she said.
"The drug to prevent infection has been developed, and the people around me who have stayed in the epidemic area for many days and have not been infected are proof of this."
"The plague is spreading very quickly. Lord Xie locked the only doctor who could save lives in the epidemic area. He clearly disregarded the safety of everyone in the city!"
Daniu put his hands to his mouth to imitate the use of a loudspeaker to amplify sound, and his deep voice sounded like thunder in spring.
She is not incapable of using and manipulating public opinion and standing on the moral high ground.
Doctor Hu’s coming forward made her words more authentic.
The people outside were whispering, with lights in their eyes.
Plague is something that spreads extremely quickly. Who can be sure that some of them will not be infected in the future?
If they don't speak out now, the fate of the people in the epidemic area will be the same as their future fate.
Among the people brought by Mo Sanniang were the medical officers who came from Kyoto with Doctor Hu, as well as several famous doctors in the city.
She followed Yan Qing's instructions before entering the epidemic area and said loudly, "Let a few doctors verify whether it is true or not!"
"Verify it!"
"Verify it!"
The people inside and outside the epidemic area shouted loudly, and with public sentiment running high, several local officials including Governor Xie were in a difficult situation.
Daniu repeated Yan Qing's words again: "Master Xie doesn't want me to develop a life-saving medicine, but wants to embezzle the millions of taels of disaster relief funds sent by the court?"
After the conflict was diverted, everyone rushed forward together. Governor Xie and several other officials were squeezed and staggered and fell in front of the iron railings that blocked the road.
"Let them check!" He swung his sleeves fiercely with a ferocious look on his face.
This woman was good at diverting the conflict. If he dared to stop her again, the people would rise up and attack her, and the guards would not be able to protect him at all.
People will also think that he is guilty, which just proves his crime of coveting disaster relief funds.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, because at least half of the millions of taels of silver was his property hidden in the Arhat Temple!
Yan Qing and Lian Qiao walked out of the fence, ignoring the weapons in the hands of the guards around them, and said with a smile: "Master Xie is really a good official who loves the people like his own children."
The tone of voice rises, often with a hint of sarcasm.
After taking turns to check the patient's pulse, nearly ten doctors called it a miracle and began to ask what medicine was so miraculous.
She and Lian Qiao were surrounded by the crowd and left, with all eyes focused on her filled with burning respect.
It is like watching a Bodhisattva descend to the earth.
