"How much money did they give you, and how much money did I give you? Now not only do you not serve me well, but you are also so neglectful. Don't you believe that I will bring people to raze your shabby house to the ground!" Xu Lian walked up to Song Wanning and started scolding her.

Song Wanning was still treating a patient and had no time to pay attention to her. In the current situation, everyone is in danger. If it weren't for the money that led to her taking her in, Song Wanning would have ignored her. She deserved to die.

Xu Lian was stared at like a clown by so many patients. She felt embarrassed and angry. When she saw Song Wanning ignored her, she became even angrier and wanted to grab Song Wanning.

Seeing that the patient next to Song Wanning was about to be affected, Shen Qiu rushed to take action and hit Xu Lian's calf with a roll of white cloth. Xu Lian felt pain, staggered and almost fell.

In the blink of an eye, the roll of cloth disappeared, and Xu Lian had no idea who was plotting against her.

"There are still many patients here who need care. If you want someone to serve you, go back to your own home. You are not welcome here." Shen Qiu said coldly.

Xu Lian's tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't hold back any longer: "Just wait for me!"

After saying that, he ran out.

Everyone was busy, no one cared about Xu Lian's safety, only a little girl couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "It's dangerous outside, is it okay for her to run out alone?"

Song Wanning shook her head: "Don't worry, she is more afraid of death than anyone else, she will come back."

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Xu Lian ran back.

As soon as she went out, she met a mad man who rushed towards her with drooling mouth. Xu Lian was so scared that she almost lost her soul and ran back quickly.

Compared to going home, she would rather choose to live.

On the other side, in the palace, after the morning court session ended, the emperor called several ministers to the imperial study to discuss matters.

"My dear ministers, you also know that there are crazy people all over the capital now. Is there any solution to it?" The emperor asked casually while looking at the memorial at hand.

The ministers looked at each other, wanting to say something but no one spoke.

Because the people involved in this matter also include their relatives and friends. Just imagine those princes and nobles, who of them does not frequent places of pleasure? Even if they don't, they must have a few concubines and beauties at home. Who doesn't want to be powerful and majestic?

Those people caught in jail are, after all, just ordinary people with no background or connections. They can be dealt with in any way, but if their families are involved, that's not acceptable.

"I believe that the arrested criminals should be dealt with severely to correct the country's morals."

"I think this matter involves a lot of people, and the prisoners are even mentally ill, so it is difficult to investigate the case. The Dali Temple needs to work harder to catch the mastermind behind this matter and restore peace to the capital."

After listening to the opinions of several ministers, the emperor did not say anything definitive. Instead, he looked at Prince Huan and asked, "What do you think?"

Prince Huan stepped forward and said, "Father, I think that those crazy criminals have hurt countless people. According to the law, it is not excessive to sentence them to death immediately. No matter who is behind this, the most important thing now is to make him feel fearful and know that the authority of the court cannot be violated. At the same time, it can also deter people all over the world and serve as a warning to others."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Those are ordinary people. They are all innocent!"

Some people began to plead for mercy, but the emperor remained unmoved. After thinking for a while, he agreed with Prince Huan's decision: "Just do as Prince Huan said, execute all those who were captured, and then announce it to the world. If we encounter the same situation again in the future, we will deal with them all at once."

Soon, all those who were caught and imprisoned were executed and then hastily buried in a mass grave.

When their families found out about this, they were grief-stricken and angry, but they dared not say anything.

I didn't expect that people in the imperial court would be so cruel. According to the law, if they caught or injured someone, they would just lock them up and fine them, but now they have silenced everyone.

Song Wanning was also shocked when she found out. She knew that the emperor was cruel, but she didn't expect him to be so vicious.

So many lives were lost just like that.

In the afternoon, a man dragged his wife to seek medical treatment.

"Doctor Song, please save my wife!"

The woman was tied up with ropes all over her body, but she looked crazy, with her eyelids rolled up, and she was ready to pounce on someone and scratch and bite them at any time.

The man came in through the back door. The news that the court wanted to capture and kill any insane person had spread throughout the capital. Now everyone was hiding at home. Even if they were caught or bitten, they did not dare to go to the clinic for treatment or medicine, for fear that their close ones would be captured and executed.

This man also came here at the risk of his life.

Song Wanning checked on the woman and asked, "Did she eat the meat from the East Street Braised Meat Shop? Did you eat it?"

The man shook his head. "My family doesn't eat meat very often, but my wife often goes to the neighbor's house to chat. His family bought some meat yesterday, so I guess my wife ate some."

No wonder only this woman fell into the trap, Song Wanning understood.

"Lock the man up in the backyard, and you come with him. Don't go back. The situation outside is tense now. I need to develop an antidote, and it may take until evening. Wait for me for a while." Song Wanning instructed the man.

Then, Shen Qiu came over and took them to the backyard.

Song Wanning returned to the study and took out some flasks from the space.

Song Wanning used equipment to analyze the toxicity in the braised pork soup bought by An Chu and An Ju, and also found signs of poisonous insects in it.

These poisonous insects are still just eggs, but they are very active. Once they enter the human body, they will grow into adults and control the person's brain.

Song Wanning sneered and took out some salt water to sprinkle on the insect eggs. Sure enough, not long after, the eggs became completely necrotic.

In this way, after Song Wanning developed the antidote, she went to the backyard to find the woman.

"Drink this." Song Wanning brought a bowl of water and handed it to the man.

The man looked at the bowl of turbid water and felt extremely confused.

Will it be better if I just drink water?

But Sima Dang had to give it a try. There was nothing he could do now and he could only trust the person in front of him.

So he held his wife's hands and feet and poured the bowl of water into her.

The woman drank it in great pain, and not long after, she stopped struggling and fell into a coma.

"Wife, wife! What happened to you? Don't scare me!" The man was startled and thought the woman was dead.

"It's okay, she just fainted. Take her home. She will be fine tomorrow after a night's sleep." Song Wanning said to him.

It turned out that the bowl of water contained a mixture of antidote and salt water. Seeing that the woman's forehead was hot, Song Wanning put some anti-inflammatory drugs in it, which could not only detoxify the woman, but also kill the insects in her body.

Judging from the woman's reaction, this method is very effective.

After the man left, Song Wanning called Song Jiang and Shen Qiu.
