The county magistrate's office has been recruiting doctors from all over the place recently, and even though it has been a few days, there are still many people coming to the office.
Many people hoped to be able to cure the county magistrate's daughter and be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
The guard at the door saw that Tan Manxing was wearing clothes that were obviously from Miao and immediately asked him with caution.
"What brings you here?"
"this."
She raised her chin in a haughty manner and pointed at the recruitment notice on the sign in front of the door.
Before the two guards could speak, Tong Leren behind them understood and spoke immediately.
"The doctor meant that she was here to see the county's daughter."
The guards at the door saw that it was obviously Tan Manxing from the Western Regions, and did not dare to offend him. They smiled apologetically and one of them left quickly.
"Please wait a moment, doctor. I'll go and notify the housekeeper."
After a while, a white-haired old man came out excitedly.
"Doctor, please wait a long time. I am the steward of the county government. Please follow me."
After all, the housekeeper knows a lot more than these gatekeepers.
Although Miao women are famous for their poison skills, they are also quite good at medicine.
If it were Tan Manxing's diagnosis, Li Qianjin's condition would have made some progress.
Soon the two were taken to a room.
"Doctor, I hope you will forgive me. The county government is a noble lady. In order to prevent assassinations, I need to check my personal belongings."
When Tan Manxing heard this, his expression remained calm. They had already considered these things before they came.
He didn't have any dangerous weapons on him.
Soon, after being searched by the maid, the two passed the checkpoint smoothly, but a lot of poisons were found in the medicine box she carried with her.
She looked at the panic of the servants around her and calmly explained with a wave of her sleeve.
"Butler, you should know from the way I'm dressed that it's reasonable for me to carry poison."
"Of course, if you're worried, he can hold the box while I go into the house alone to see the county magistrate's daughter."
She said this and looked at the children behind her.
After hearing this, the old butler thought about it carefully and agreed.
His young lady's illness cannot be delayed, and Tan Manxing is dressed so specially, it seems that the bad guys would not be so high-profile.
Soon the three of them walked through the corridor and came to a main hall.
There was a person sitting in the main hall, and judging by his aura, it should be County Magistrate Li.
"Master, this is Doctor Man."
The old butler approached Magistrate Li and whispered a quick explanation.
"Hahaha, Doctor Man, if you can cure my little girl, not only will I give you a thousand taels of gold, I can also give you other extra rewards."
"Let's talk about this after he's cured. I want to check on your daughter's condition first."
Tan Manxing did not show any excitement and his tone remained calm.
"Okay, Old Chen, lead the way."
Her calm aura made County Magistrate Li feel more at ease.
Soon the four of them walked through the hall and came to the rooms at the back.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, Tan Manxing smelled the distinct smell of medicine.
She handed the box to Tong Le Ren and quickly went into the house.
The maids in the room had been driven out, and now there were only her, County Magistrate Li, and Miss Li lying on the bed.
Miss Li is indeed the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She is very beautiful, as if carefully sculpted by the Creator. Her facial features are just the right size. Her illness makes her look even more pitiful.
Tan Manxing didn't care about County Magistrate Li's observation. She looked at the weak-looking Li Qianjin, raised her hand, put an embroidered handkerchief under it and tapped it lightly on her wrist. After carefully taking her pulse, her relaxed brows furrowed.
"Please speak up, Miss Li."
Li Qianjin has come into contact with all kinds of doctors in the past few days, and her heart has long been numb, but when she saw Tan Manxing's different outfit, a little hope rose in her originally desperate heart.
Who would want to die if they could?
She thought about opening her mouth obediently.
Tan Manxing looked at the blackened root of his tongue, stood up, opened the medicine box in their house, and took out a pair of silver needles.
He carefully pierced Li Qianjin's wrist. After feeling the hardness she had imagined, she put away the things with a serious expression and left the room first.
County Magistrate Li, who was watching from the sidelines, saw him leave like that and thought that there was nothing Tan Manxing could do, and he felt disappointed.
However, Li Qianjin, who was lying on the bed, gave her father a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, Daddy. Life and death are determined by fate."
Seeing that the woman was comforting his daughter who was bedridden, County Magistrate Li felt a little sad. He patted the back of her hand firmly and left quickly.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, Dad will definitely save you."
"Doctor Man have any solution?"
After he came out, he looked at Tan Manxing sitting in the yard drinking tea and spoke with a little expectation in his heart.
"Yes, but I need to explain the difficulties to you, Magistrate Li."
Although she came to see the red-faced man, since she had already seen Li Yue'er's illness, she would not stand by and watch her die.
She looked at County Magistrate Li who became excited because of a word and calmly poured cold water on him.
"Miss Li was poisoned. This poison is called 'yang poison.' It's similar to heatstroke, causing dizziness, flushed face, profuse sweating, and burning skin. However, it's more dangerous than heatstroke because it can't be treated by cooling down. Otherwise, the victim's body will alternate between cold and heat until the abdomen is frozen or burned through, and bleeding from all seven orifices will cause death."
"What! Who is so vicious as to use such a vicious poison?"
County Magistrate Li was furious after hearing this.
He was thankful at this moment that they had put ice cubes in the room, but Li Yueer kept complaining about being cold, so they didn't continue to put them there.
He almost indirectly killed his daughter, and County Magistrate Li felt a little scared when he thought about it.
"Doctor Man, please continue. What is the solution? I can get it for you no matter what herbal remedy it is."
County Magistrate Li suppressed his anger and spoke calmly.
"The herbs are quite special. Fortunately, I have the most difficult one. However, it will take a long time to cure her, at least a month, and Miss Li will have to endure great pain in the early stages of treatment."
Tan Manxing looked at the angry Lord Li and explained calmly without panic.
Tong Leren, who was acting as a maid behind him, couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw that Tan Manxing knew so much.
The gap between people is really huge.
"If you can't handle it, it will be dangerous. Lord Li can talk to Miss Li and think it over carefully before starting treatment tomorrow. The longer you delay, the more painful it will be and the more dangerous it will be."
She waited quietly for Magistrate Li to think for a moment before speaking again.
"Thank you, Doctor Man. I will have a serious talk with my daughter. Old Chen will take them to the guest room to rest."
Tan Manxing nodded and left with the old butler.
On the way, she was still carefully observing the layout of the county magistrate's mansion.
After being taken to the guest room, she suddenly spoke.
"Butler, I'm a little hungry. Can you let him go with you to the kitchen to get some food?"
"Doctor, I'll send the maid to get it right away."
Tong Le Ren knew it was his turn to act and quickly spoke.
"Butler Chen, there's no need to go to so much trouble. My master can't afford to starve. It would be bad if we delay Miss Li's treatment."
"Take my maid with you, it will be faster this way."
Tan Manxing also spoke at the right time.
