In the centralized treatment area, most patients with mild symptoms have already left.
The county government promulgated a water purification law, allowing people to purify water at home and solve the water shortage problem.
In the intensive care unit, the situation is basically under control, but due to the severe poisoning, a period of recuperation is still needed.
After resting for half a day, Jiang Qingpu started working hard again.
Just then, two carriages arrived nearby.
The Imperial Guards have withdrawn, and now only some yamen runners remain to guard the area.
The carriage stopped at the street corner. Lou Wu helped Uncle Gong down and bowed to the guards at the gate.
"I am the manager of Wan'an Hall. I heard that the young master is in the intensive care unit, so I came here to pick him up. I hope you can do me a favor, sir."
Lou Wu stepped forward and stuffed five taels of silver into the yamen runner's hand. There was no reason for them not to let him pass, so he entered the former intensive care unit without any hindrance.
"Who are you?" The commotion from the carriage immediately attracted Jiang Qingpu's attention.
Before Uncle Gong could answer, young Li Xuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Jiang, thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days."
Jiang Qingpu: ?
After being introduced, I learned the boy's identity and was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
He was a doctor who practiced medicine in his clinic, so how could he not know Wan'an Hall? It was the largest pharmacy in Hanoi Prefecture and even Tianxuan Road. Some of the medicinal herbs in his shop were purchased from them year after year.
Who would have thought that the young man who was so ill just two days ago almost died was the young master of Wan'an Hall!
"Dr. Jiang, on behalf of my employer, I thank you for saving my life."
Seeing the young master lively and energetic, Uncle Gong burst into tears and couldn't help but kneel down before him.
Jiang Qingpu couldn't let her have it, and hurriedly helped her up.
Regardless of the other party's identity, the most crucial point is that the one who saved his life was not him, but the Sixth Prince.
Later, her maid came to tell her that she did not want her reputation for healing to spread, so she swallowed the words she was about to say, but resolutely refused to accept the gift.
Uncle Gong didn't insist. He bent his knees slightly, then straightened up and pointed to the carriage behind him.
"This old man has prepared some small gifts..." Seeing that the other party was in a hurry to speak, he pressed down Jiang Qingpu's hand.
"A cartload of medicinal herbs is 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's easy to imagine that no one will care about these critically ill patients anymore.
His shop's medicinal herbs had long been used up, and soon he wouldn't even be able to prescribe any more remedies.
The arrival of a cartload of medicinal herbs is a timely and much-needed help.
After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Then this old man will thank Manager Gong on behalf of everyone."
Li Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "Old man Gong, is your young master's life-saving grace really going to be shrugged off with a cartload of medicinal herbs?"
"How could that be?" Uncle Gong laughed. "From now on, Wan'an Hall will take over all the medicinal herbs at Doctor Jiang's shop. We'll sell them at cost price and won't make a single penny."
"This...this is unacceptable!"
Li Xuan had already boarded the carriage. "Old Jiang, don't be so polite. Your character is commendable."
The medicinal herbs were purchased cheaply, which naturally benefits the people; this is a good thing.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, young master."
A horse-drawn carriage left the centralized medical treatment area and slowly drove towards the city.
Lou Wu drove the carriage, accompanied by two servants. There were two people, an old man and a young man, in the carriage, but there were actually two fourth-rank experts secretly protecting them.
Inside the carriage, Li Xuan lay sprawled out, looking completely boneless, yet a faint smile lingered on his lips.
Seeing him lively and energetic, Uncle Gong breathed a sigh of relief. "Young Master, you're bound to have good fortune after surviving such a calamity."
Li Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Old man Gong, you've hit the nail on the head. This young master is getting married."
Uncle Gong nearly choked on his own saliva. "Young Master... what did you say? Marriage?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Uncle Gong's expression was indescribable. "But you won't be able to tie your hair up until next year..."
The next moment, a cold gaze swept over.
His eyes seemed devoid of any emotion, a stark contrast to the strong and cheerful young man in the intensive care unit.
Uncle Gong couldn't help but shudder. "It's not impossible! We'll arrange a concubine for you first."
"A concubine?" Li Xuan's expression darkened completely. "No, she can only be the principal wife."
Uncle Gong was shocked: The legal wife? How could that be!
Who in Mingyan County is worthy of the young master? The master would never agree.
But he dared not speak out, and could only inquire indirectly, "Young Master, which family's daughter is so lucky?"
“Her…” Li Xuan lay back down, the frost on his face completely gone, as if he wasn’t the one who was angry just now.
With his head resting on his hands, he looked up at the top of the yurt, "She owes me a good meal, and I owe her my life..."
——————
Before long, Yin Zhe received the news.
"My lord, the matter has been investigated and clarified."
"The young man's real name is Li Jingxuan. On the surface, he is the young master of Wan'an Hall, a major pharmacy in Zhuque South Road. In reality, he is the youngest son of the mistress of the wealthy merchant Li Dajing."
He remained silent, lost in thought.
She naturally knew Li Dajing, the owner of Yutai Trading Company, whose reputation was quite prestigious.
He traversed the Nine Heavens and Twelve Paths, and there was no place where his business could not reach.
Tea, silk, wine, medicine, utensils... there's nothing he doesn't make except salt and iron.
Moreover, his humble origins and rise to prominence are quite legendary.
Although Yutai Trading Company is a long-established brand, its scale was far smaller than it is now, 14 or 15 years ago.
He was initially just an apprentice in a small local shop under the trading company, and I heard that the shop's business was not doing well and was on the verge of closing down.
Later, because he revitalized the business, he went from apprentice to manager, climbing the ranks step by step, and eventually caught the eye of the Wu family, the owners of Yutai Trading Company.
After marrying into the family, under Li Dajing's management, Yutai Trading Company grew into a behemoth in just over a decade.
However, Miss Wu was very assertive. Even after Li Dajing took control of the business, he did not allow her to take a concubine, and even his concubines would die tragically.
Given Li Dajing's current achievements, it's not surprising that he secretly keeps a mistress and has taken on the surname Li again.
It's not surprising that he spent a lot of money to hire two fourth-rank experts to secretly protect his youngest son, in order to prevent the Wu family from taking action after discovering the situation.
Strangely, even though they found Li Jingxuan in the intensive care unit, they delayed acknowledging him.
The disaster relief team had just left Mingyan County when they came to pick up the people. Was this just a coincidence?
Yin Zhe never believed in coincidences, or at least not in the first place, especially given the unexplained doubts surrounding them.
Is there too many problems in such a small county as Mingyan?
"We will conduct a full investigation into the iron casting case. Starting from seven or eight years ago, we will thoroughly investigate the files, conduct, and reputation of all officials in Mingyan County. We will leave no stone unturned."
After thinking for a moment, Yin Zhe continued, "The people watching Li Jingxuan should not leave yet. Be careful not to be detected by his secret guards."
"yes!"
