Chapter 239 The Black Hearted Huo Qi
"Your Highness, there are large families in the city, and there are many people in each family. If they infect others, the consequences will be disastrous." Zheng Zhifu reported earnestly.

Li Yuanbai pondered for a while, and said lightly, "There are more seriously ill people in the ward, and we must not arrange more people to go out. Together with Mr. Zhang, you will bring all the seriously ill people here immediately."

Zheng Zhifu was taken aback, most of the sick people were from rich families, is it possible to let those people gather in the blockade area?
Li Yuanbai glanced at him coldly.

Zheng Zhifu trembled all over, and immediately lowered his head to answer, "Yes, I'll go get ready now, sir."

Zheng Zhifu has been in Nanping for many years. Even if he has not completely degenerated into the ranks of corrupt officials, his hands may not be clean all these years.

Fortunately, he is relatively timid and content with the status quo, so there are not many people who are greedy for ink.

He is very tactful, knowing that when he meets the sixth prince, he must not play tricks.Therefore, what he has to face is to offend those gentry.

People don't fight with officials, this sentence is also very suitable for officialdom.With an official position like his, in front of the Sixth Prince, he is not even qualified to carry shoes for the Sixth Prince. How could he offend the Sixth Prince for a group of wealthy gentry.

In the afternoon of that day, the prefect Zheng took Li Yuanbai's words to each family.

"Too much deceit." Huang Yaozu slapped the table and roared angrily.

"Master, what should I do? What if I catch the plague again in a seriously ill area?" Mrs. Huang was trembling all over at the moment, but fortunately she didn't have any pain in her abdomen, so she could still discuss things with him.

"The Sixth Prince must have taken the opportunity to suppress us." Huang Yaozu gritted his teeth and said.

"People have been offended, even if we take out money and food, it won't help. Instead, he will look down on us and think that we are against him on purpose." Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes and said her plan, "Since he is ruthless, we are more Just be more ruthless. Alright, he told us to go to the ward, so let’s go. But, to be on the safe side, let the family servants go there first to try.”

"Alright." Huang Yaozu nodded in agreement.

They are the masters, and their bodies are naturally very delicate.Let the servants go to try it first, if those imperial doctors can really cure the servant's strange disease, then it will not be too late for them to go there.

After the husband and wife discussed it, they first sent all the servants in the mansion over.

When this group of servants heard that they were going to the seriously ill area, they were all frightened.Some people were crying and would rather die of illness than go there.If you die when you can save it, you will be thrown outside and set on fire directly.

The magistrate Zheng's attitude was very tough. The yamen servants wore masks on their mouths and abruptly escorted them into the car and dragged them to the seriously ill area.

The servants and servants cried even more when they saw the heavily armed soldiers guarding the periphery.

But the person who escorted them didn't care and sent them in directly.

The servant who followed couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, so he had to go back home.

The Huang family and other aristocratic families suddenly became restless. They hoped that the imperial doctor could find out the cause of the disease and cure the little girl as soon as possible, and then they would recover.

But in the ward, others couldn't get in, and these people were tormented by the disease. In two days, many people felt that they couldn't hold on.

The two sons of the Huang family's direct line and the two concubines would faint several times a day, and those who contracted the disease lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the third day, a servant came back.

"How are you all?" Huang Yaozu held back and asked.

"Report to Master, it's all over. The little ones are all in good health." The housekeeper was the first batch of people to see the doctor.

"What's wrong?" Huang Yaozu asked, "Is it the plague?"

"It's not a plague, but it's worse than a plague." The housekeeper replied with a sigh, "I heard that it was caused by the flood and the groundwater was polluted."

After Huang Yaozu heard this, he shook his head slightly, "Impossible, in such a huge city, how come dozens of families are infected with this strange disease?"

"That's because the mansion boiled the medicine, and it clashed with the well water. Some people are strong and can carry it, but most of them can't." The housekeeper told the rumors circulating in the ward.

After Huang Yaozu heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Nanping suffers from floods every year, and after every flood, some people will get sick.After a long time, the local doctor also summed up some tonics, the purpose is to prevent the disinfection of the summer heat, and prevent the infection of the plague.

He didn't expect that the polluted water would interfere with the tonic, and the news made him dumbfounded.

"I told you over there that after all the well water is pumped up, it must be filtered with bamboo charcoal. Moreover, after the little ones come back, they will have to drink three days of decoction to completely eradicate the root cause of the disease." In fact, not all the medicines are bad, only one of them is contradictory."

"Quickly tell me, which imperial physician over there has the best medical skills?" Madam Huang asked with restraint.

"The person with the best medical skills is not the imperial physician, even the imperial physician is helpless to treat the little ones." The butler shook his head and replied.

"Is there anyone with better medical skills than the imperial physician? Who is it?" The eldest son of the Huang family urged anxiously. When the servant recovered from his illness, he wished he could fly to the ward to see a doctor immediately.

"It's the seventh son. I heard that this seventh son is a direct descendant of the Duke Huo's mansion." The housekeeper mentioned Huo Qiqi, his eyes lit up. With the prescription, the body has improved. In the past five or six days, there have been no more deaths there."

"That's right, the water source in the ward is also filtered according to the method she provided." A servant also nodded and added.

"Father, let's go there quickly. I really can't take it anymore." The eldest son was still shivering under the quilt.

"Father, if I don't go there, I'd rather not live."

......

Huang Yaozu was worried, and he couldn't stand the pain.But at the banquet, he really offended the Seventh Young Master.Is the seventh son still willing to treat them?
What made him even more unexpected was that the Seventh Young Master's background was even bigger, and he was actually a direct descendant of Duke Huguo's Mansion.He is courting death!

There is no regret medicine in the world, Huang Yaozu hesitated for a while, then was overwhelmed by the pain.

So, the Huang family cleaned up and went to the ward in a mighty way.

When they arrived at the ward, they were completely dumbfounded.

Many other wealthy gentry had already dragged their families to Huo Qiqi's side to line up. In addition to the patients who were infected with the plague, the line in front of Huo Qiqi took countless turns.In addition, many pergolas have also been occupied by people. The Huang family probably won't be able to get in line during the day, and they have to sleep in the open at night.

"Pay money and food first, and see a doctor later." Suddenly, there was a small commotion in front.

The Huang family saw that Huo Qiqi was talking to the Yan family.

"Seventh Young Master, why do you still need to deliver food?" The master of the Yan family was impatient.

"Everyone has their own rules when seeing a doctor. This is the price for seeing a doctor. Whether you like it or not, I'm not a real doctor anyway." Huo Qiqi replied unhappily.

"Okay, we'll pay for the money and food." Yan's family has also inquired about their strange diseases that only Huo Qiqi can cure, so they didn't dare to argue with her.

"2000 taels of silver per person, plus five thousand catties of grain." Huo Qiqi replied flatly.

What?All the gentry and aristocratic families who came over were dumbfounded.

Huo Qiqi, your heart is so dark!
