Chapter 268
"Is there a way to solve the plague?"

Tang Hong stood up suddenly, a gleam of light appeared in his hazy eyes, "Who is that person?"

"My lord, that person is wearing a black hat. I don't know her identity, but judging from her voice, it should be a woman."

The servant replied honestly.

"female?"

"Then quickly take her to the front hall."

Tang Hong ordered.

"Yes."

The servant nodded and left.

"My lord, do you think this is another liar?"

After thinking for a while, the butler said with some doubts.

Although the plague has been rampant these two days and people are in panic, some people want to make a fortune by taking advantage of the plague.

Yesterday, two people came to the city lord's mansion, saying that they could solve the problem of the plague, and Tang Hong also invited them into the mansion, but later found that those two were liars, and they couldn't solve the problem of the plague at all. Came to scam money.

In a rage, Tang Hong immediately took the two men into custody.

"It's possible, but the imperial court hasn't sent anyone down yet. We can only find a way to solve this plague. At this time, if someone can solve this plague, that would be the best. If that person came to cheat money, It doesn't matter, anyway, the cell in Shangcheng is very empty now, and there are not many of her alone."

There was a trace of coldness in Tang Hong's eyes.

Because of this plague, more than half of the prisoners in the prison cells in the upper city have died, and now it is very empty. Tang Hong doesn't mind sending some crooks into it.

"It's still adults who are considerate."

The butler flattered him a little.

After a while, footsteps sounded again.

"My lord, this is the man who said he could solve the plague problem."

The servant appeared outside the front hall, then pointed to a woman in a white robe behind him and said.

This woman was wearing a wide bamboo hat, so she couldn't see her real face, but her figure was plump, with protruding front and back. Tang Hong and the butler just glanced at this woman's figure, and they were a little "excited".

However, they can be regarded as people who have seen big scenes, and they quickly recovered their calm.

"You go down first."

"Yes."

When the servant left, Tang Hong spoke again and said, "Please come inside, this girl."

The woman in white robe hummed softly, then entered the front hall.

"Housekeeper, make a cup of high-quality ginseng tea for this girl."

Although Tang Hong didn't know whether the white-robed woman in front of him could solve the plague, there was still a way to treat guests.

If you don't have the ability, invite this woman to eat in prison.

"Yes."

Hearing the order, the butler immediately poured a cup of high-quality ginseng tea for the woman in white robe, and then stepped aside.

"Girl, do you have a solution to the plague?"

Tang Hong didn't talk nonsense, he just went straight to the topic and asked.

"According to my observation, this plague should be plague. My family has practiced medicine for generations, and I still have some experience in dealing with plague. As long as you, Lord City Lord, give this medicinal material to those infected with plague, they should be cured."

The woman in white robe took out a pair of medicinal materials from her bosom and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Tang Hong was stunned for a moment.

This white-robed woman is not like the person who came to the city lord's mansion to cheat before, she has a lot of nonsense, anyway, the summary can be summed up in one sentence, I have a way, but I have to take my time.

Of course, there is also a possibility that this woman in white robe is not a liar at all.

When Tang Hong opened the medicinal materials, a faint fragrance came out.

"Housekeeper, what kind of medicinal materials are these?"

Tang Hong signaled the butler to come forward.

Although he really wanted to try whether these herbs could cure the plague, he didn't dare to joke about other people's lives for a while.

Tang Hong's butler, on the other hand, has a similar understanding of medicine, so he can tell whether there is something wrong with these medicinal materials.

"Ah."

The housekeeper, Wen Yan, immediately took a few steps forward, and his eyes fell on those herbs.

"This is Angelica."

"This is an octagonal lotus."

"And this is bletilla striata, and this is cicada slough"

The housekeeper recognized all the medicinal materials at once.

"My lord, these herbs are all right."

After the butler finished speaking, hesitation appeared on his face again, and he said, "But I don't know if there is any problem with the combination of these medicinal materials."

The combination of different medicinal materials will have different medicinal effects. Some of them are not poisonous, and even the medicinal materials with great tonics will become highly poisonous if they are boiled together due to pharmacological problems.

And some highly poisonous substances, because of the pharmacology of mutual generation and mutual restraint, can be boiled together to become a great tonic.

Therefore, unless you are a powerful pharmacist, you will never know whether some medicinal materials are boiled together to have a positive effect or a negative effect.

And the steward of the City Lord's Mansion is obviously not a powerful alchemist.

In fact, if you think about it, if the housekeeper is a powerful alchemist, then he will not be a housekeeper, but should work in Wangcheng, or go to the Zhengdao sect to hold an important position.

On the other side, after hearing what the housekeeper said, Tang Hong frowned without any trace.

If you take medicine rashly without knowing the pharmacology, unexpected things may happen.

It will even aggravate the death of those infected with the plague.

"My lord, there is currently no solution to the plague in the upper city. You might as well find some people who are seriously infected with the plague and try my medicine."

"If it succeeds, that's naturally the best. If it doesn't succeed, my lord can capture me and send me to the prison in the upper city."

The woman in white robe said calmly.

"My lord, for the current plan, we can only try it. If it succeeds, it would be the best. If it fails, there is no loss."

"Because those who are severely infected with the plague will die sooner or later."

Seeing that Tang Hong was hesitating, the butler stepped forward and said softly.

Hearing the words, Tang Hong pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

"That's right, this is the only way to do it now. It will take a day or two until the court gives a countermeasure, and in a day or two, many people will die when I go to the city."

"How about this, butler, find a few people who are more seriously infected with the plague, and then decoct this medicine, let them take it, and see how they react."

"Forget it, it's still up to you to fry these herbs, let's go and see the effect together."

Tang Hong finally decided to see the effect of decocting these medicinal materials for himself, so that he can have a bottom line in his heart.

"it is good."

"Then I will fry these herbs immediately."

The butler hurriedly took the medicinal materials and went down to fry them.

After the butler left, Tang Hong pondered for a moment, then looked at the white-robed woman in front of him and asked, "My lady, if your medicine is really effective against the plague, what kind of reward do you want?"

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Tang Hong didn't believe that the woman in white robe in front of him had no plans.

"To tell you the truth, City Lord, the little girl is very yearning for officialdom, and I heard that the position of Deputy City Lord of Shangcheng has been vacant for a long time."

At this point, the woman in white robe did not continue to speak.

But Tang Hong is an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows what the white-robed woman means.

"Girl, you are quite ambitious."

"Actually trying to seek the position of deputy city lord."

Tang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

Shangcheng was also a relatively important county town in the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are fixed on the position of deputy city lord.

But due to various reasons, Tang Hong didn't know who to recommend as the deputy city lord of Shangcheng, so this position has been vacant.

"My lord, if the medicinal materials I offer can solve the plague, it will definitely be a great achievement. Let me be the deputy city lord. It's not a loss."

The woman in white robe stretched out her jade hand, picked up the ginseng tea, took a sip, and said slowly.

Tang Hong was taken aback.

What the woman in white robe said made some sense.

If the plague can be solved before the imperial court sends people, not only the white-robed woman will be meritorious, but Tang Hong will also be considered a great meritorious service.

Although Shangcheng was an important county town of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how important it was, could it be as important as Wangcheng?

The answer is obviously no.

Although Tang Hong is considered a child of the royal family, logically speaking, it is not difficult to work in Wangcheng, but if he directly works in Wangcheng, he is just a mung bean sesame official.

If you want to hold an important official position in Wangcheng, you must have a resume in the local office, even if you are a child of the royal family.

"My lady, if you can really deal with the plague by presenting a prescription, you will definitely be rewarded, but it's hard to say if you're not the deputy city lord of the upper city."

"After all, I only have the right to recommend, but not the right to make a decision. For the position of deputy city lord like Shangcheng, it needs to be assessed by the royal doctor of the imperial court. That is the big celebrity next to the king, Mr. Chu Zhanchu."

When mentioning Chu Zhan, Tang Hong's face clearly showed envy.

Doctor Yushi is an important minister of the imperial court. Although the position of Lord of Shangcheng City is not bad, compared with Doctor Yushi, there is still a long way to go.

Envy is envy, but Tang Hong understands that he may not be able to climb to the position of doctor censor throughout his life.
