Chapter 15

Gao Shilian hurried to the prefect's mansion and walked in quickly. He saw the prefect Wang Wei walking in the hall with a burning look on his face.

"The lower officials have met the king's prefect. I wonder what the prefect is so eager to summon the lower officials to come?"

"Let's take a look..." Wang Wei reluctantly smiled at Gao Shilian and pointed to the official document placed on the desk.

"Hiss... the plague!" Gao Shilian opened the first official document, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he took a breath.

Wang Wei nodded and nodded bitterly.

"Starting the day before yesterday, several people in Xingze County were infected with high fever and had no effect on the medicine and stones. To this day, there are dozens of people suffering from illness..."

"The Jixiangfang in Xingze City also appeared in dozens of patients with high fever. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the magistrate of Xingze County has moved all the patients to the city and sent a delegation to ask for help from the official."

"I have ordered the county soldiers to be sent to entrust all the major traffic roads in Xingze. Without the orders of the official, no entry or exit should be allowed."

Gao Shilian nodded in a clear way. This is a plague. Once it continues to be infected, it is not a joke.

What's more, Xingze County under Xingyang County is only more than a hundred miles away from Dongdu. If the plague spreads to Dongdu, the prefect of Wang would not be enough to cut even if he had ten heads.

"I didn't expect that Xingyang County would have so many disasters. The flood had just disappeared, but it actually caught up with the plague invasion."

"I'm afraid that this matter will be troubled by Gao Zhili to quickly return to the Dongdu and report to the Holy Emperor. For this matter, please send a medical officer to Xingze County to treat the people."

"Sister the order..." Gao Shilian nodded and hesitated for a moment, and bowed to the prefect of the king. "Sisterer has a reluctant request, and I hope the prefect will be approved."

"The family of the close friends of the officials live in Xingze County..."

Wang Wei glanced at Gao Shilian and shook his head helplessly.

"It's not that I am unwilling to help, but that this plague is very important. If it affects Dongdu, let alone me, even if I am a wise man, I will not be able to escape."

After hearing Wang Wei's words, Gao Shiqian knew that even the prefect Wang did not dare to be at all in harmony under the plague. He sighed helplessly.

It seems that I can only find a way to return to Dongdu as soon as possible and report to the emperor, hoping to send medical officers to calm the daunting epidemic as soon as possible.

There are many ways to reduce the temperature physically, and the most effective one is naturally ice. The Yang family is also a family of officials with wealthy families, and there are ice kilns in the mansion.

At this moment, there was a small bucket next to several patients in the mansion, and the ice water was filled with the bucket.

Those servants or maids wearing masks were soaking towels in ice water and replacing the towels that were no longer cold on the patients.

"Wan'er, how are you?" Seeing that her daughter Yang Wan had passed a cold compress, the heat gradually faded away, and her mind became much clearer. Han's haggard face finally felt a little more joyful.

"It's much better, I'm tired and have no strength. What's wrong with my husband?" Yang Wan smiled hard and her eyes wandered inside the house.

"Your brother is guarding over there, and someone has just come to report that your husband has woken up once, drank some porridge, fell asleep again, and the high fever has subsided a lot."

While answering, Han picked up a bowl of red water with a woody smell.

"Come on, this is the Liuzhi Decoction that your brother has made. Drink it quickly. Your brother said that this thing is quite effective in treating typhoid fever."

"Can willow branches cure the plague?!" Yang Wan widened her charming almond eyes in disbelief and shook her head in disbelief.

But I still reluctantly drank the water full of the bowl of willow branches...

In the other room, I saw my brother-in-law Chen Tai drink the ground brocade soup and sleeping heavily.

The high heat on his body has been maintained within a stable safe range under the physical cooling. Only then did Yang Qian feel relieved and step out of the room.

As soon as he arrived outside the door, Dr. Liu, who had been waiting outside the door, couldn't wait to tell the truth.

"Young Master, I really don't understand. This willow branch can cure turbid and unclear urine, and can also cure fetal fire and inability to pee in children. However, I have never heard of this willow branch that can prevent and cure plague..."

"In addition, why do you need to use silk cloth to cover it and mix wood and carbon into it? Is this the method of talismans?..."

Yang Qian looked at the worshiper who was chattering endlessly and almost sprayed his saliva on his face. He raised his hand helplessly and signaled him to shut up.

"The only thing that willow branches can cure is typhoid fever and some fever symptoms. Not all diseases can be done, do you understand?"

"As for the silk cloth mask, mixed with wood and carbon, it is to prevent those contagious sources like dust from being sucked into our bodies."

"Source of infection?" Doctor Liu looked at Yang Qian blankly, his face full of confusion. "What is that? Why have I never seen this thing before..."

"I..." Yang Qian opened his mouth and wanted to tell Doctor Liu that he had only seen it under a microscope.

But at the moment, there is obviously no such tool. How can Dr. Liu believe it? Yang Qian looked up at the setting sun slowly falling, and suddenly had an idea.

"You want to know why I want you to wear masks, right? Then come with me..."

Yang Qian waved his hand and several servants who were idle at the moment also quickly followed Yang Qian's footsteps and came to a room opposite the sunset.

Yang Qian walked first, entered the house, and then signaled everyone to enter the room.

Let Zhili and two other servants block the window, and then slowly close the door, and the sunlight became brighter in the dark room...

Dr. Liu and all the servants tried hard to widen their eyes, looking at the dust floating in the sun, with a shocking expression.

"My husband, young master, are these the sources of infection you mentioned?" Doctor Liu took a breath. He specialized in medical skills in his life, but he had never noticed these small things.

Seeing these people's expressions, Yang Qian was secretly happy. He was not trying to deliberately deceive the ancients.

But no matter which era, people in their era are willing to believe that hearing is false and seeing is true.

Since this is the case, I can only use this method to show my extraordinary talents.

After all, the science of this era has not yet developed bacteriology and virology, so it can only use these dust to prove its own words in order to gain trust from others.

Anyway, they don’t have microscopes, the Internet, and there is no search engine.

Even there is not a single copycat machine with four speakers and three phone cards. There is no way to jump out with conclusive evidence and accus yourself of making up for being a fool.

Therefore, Yang Qian continued to feel at ease and spit out righteously. Doctor Liu and his servants were stunned.
