Chapter 062: Showdown, I won’t pretend anymore
Most of the patients with mild symptoms have left the centralized treatment area.
The county government has promulgated a water purification law, so people can purify water at home and solve the problem of water shortage.
In the critically ill area, the situation has been basically controlled, but because the poisoning is too severe, it will take some time to recover.
Jiang Qingpu rested for half a day and then started to get busy again.
Just then, two carriages arrived nearby.
The imperial guards have withdrawn, and now only some yamen runners are left to guard the place.
The carriage stopped at the street corner. Lou Wu helped Uncle Gong get off and bowed to the yamen runner guarding the gate.
"I am the shopkeeper of Wan'antang. I heard that the young master is in the critical care unit, so I came to pick him up. I hope you will give me some convenience."
Lou Wu stepped forward and stuffed five taels of silver into the yamen runner's pocket. There was no reason for him not to be let through, so he entered the former intensive care unit unimpeded.
"Who are you?" The carriage made a loud noise, which immediately attracted Jiang Qingpu.
Before Uncle Gong could answer, the young Li Xuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Old Jiang, thank you for taking care of me during this period."
Jiang Qingpu:?
After the introduction, I learned the identity of this young man and was so shocked that I was speechless.
He was running a clinic to provide medical consultations, so he knew Wan'antang very well. It was the largest drug dealer in Hanoi Province and even in Tianxuan Dao. He even purchased some medicinal materials from there all year round for his shop.
Who would have thought that the young man who was so sick that he almost died two days ago was the young master of Wan'antang!
"Doctor Jiang, I want to thank you for saving my life on behalf of my boss."
Seeing the young master jumping around in high spirits, Uncle Gong burst into tears and couldn't help but kneel down in front of him.
Jiang Qingpu couldn't let him go, so he hurriedly supported him.
Not to mention the other party's identity, the most important thing is that it was not him who saved his life, but His Highness the Sixth Prince.
But later, her maid came to tell her that she didn't want her reputation as a healer to spread. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, but she was determined not to accept the gift.
Uncle Gong didn't force it. He bent his knees, stood up straight, and pointed to the carriage behind him.
"I have prepared some small gifts..." Seeing the other party speak anxiously, he pressed Jiang Qingpu's hand.
"It's just a cartload of medicinal herbs. It's nothing compared to the young master's life-saving grace."
Jiang Qingpu pursed her lips.
I heard that the disaster relief team is about to leave Mingyan County, so it is conceivable that no one will pay attention to these critically ill patients anymore.
The medicinal materials in his shop had long been used up, and soon he would not even be able to prescribe medicine.
Now we have received a carriage of medicinal materials, which is just a timely help.
After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and admitted, "Then I would like to thank Manager Gong on behalf of everyone."
Li Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Old Gong, are you just going to use a cart of medicinal herbs to fool around in exchange for your young master's life?"
"How could that be possible?" Uncle Gong said with a smile. "From now on, we at Wan'antang will take over the herbs in Doctor Jiang's shop. We'll sell them at market price and won't make a single cent."
"This...how can this be done!"
Li Xuan had already boarded the carriage, “Don’t be polite, Lao Jiang, your character is worthy of it.
The medicinal herbs we collect are cheap, which naturally benefits the people. This is a good thing to do."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Master."
A horse-drawn carriage left the centralized treatment area and slowly drove towards the city.
Lou Wu was driving the car, with two servants following behind him. There were two people, young and old, in the car, but they were actually secretly protected by two fourth-grade masters.
In the carriage, Li Xuan was lying there casually, looking boneless, but there was always a faint smile lingering on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him alive and kicking, Uncle Gong breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Master, those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Old Gong, you really hit the nail on the head. This young master wants to get married."
Uncle Gong almost choked on his own saliva, "Young Master...what did you say? Get married?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
Uncle Gong's expression was hard to describe. "But you just tied your hair..."
Li Xuan did not answer again, but rested his head on his hands and looked at the top of the carriage.

In a short while, Yinzhe got the news.
"Sir, it has been investigated."
"That young man's real name is Li Jingxuan. On the surface, he's the youngest owner of Wan'antang, a major pharmacy on the Suzaku South Road. In reality, he's the youngest son of the wealthy merchant Li Dajing's mistress."
Yinzhe pondered in silence.
She naturally knew Li Dajing, the owner of Yutai Trading Company, who was a very famous person.
He is good at business and there is nothing he cannot do.
Tea, silk, wine, medicine, utensils...except salt and iron, there is nothing he doesn't make.
Not only that, his rise from humble beginnings was quite legendary.
Although Yutai Trading Company is an old brand, its scale was far smaller than it is now fourteen or fifteen years ago.
He was originally just an apprentice in a small local shop under the trading company. I heard that the shop's business was not very good and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Later, because he revitalized the business, he became the shopkeeper from an apprentice, and climbed up step by step, and finally caught the attention of the Wu family, the owner of Yutai Trading Company.
After marrying into the family, under Li Dajing's management, Yutai Trading Company grew into a giant in just over a decade.
However, Miss Wu was very powerful. Even after Li Dajing took control of the Chamber of Commerce's business, she would not allow him to take a concubine, and even his wife would die.
Given Li Dajing's current achievements, it's not surprising that he secretly kept a concubine and changed his surname to Li.
It is not surprising that in order to protect his youngest son, he spent a lot of money to hire two fourth-rank masters to protect him secretly to prevent the Wu family from finding out and taking action.
What’s strange is that they clearly found Li Jingxuan in the intensive care unit, but they dragged their feet and didn’t recognize him.
As soon as the disaster relief team left Mingyan County, they came to pick up the people. Is this just a coincidence?
Yinzhe never believed in coincidences, or he didn't believe it at first, and there were also some unexplainable doubts.
Doesn’t the small Mingyan County have too many problems?
"Investigate the iron casting case with all your might. Starting from seven or eight years ago, examine the files, deeds, and reputations of all the officials in Mingyan County. Don't let anything go."
After thinking for a moment, Yinzhe continued, "The people watching Li Jingxuan should not retreat yet. They must be careful not to be noticed by his secret guards."
"yes!"
