My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

If Gu Village is in such a situation, then the entire Donghai Town is probably in danger.

If this spreads and spreads to the entire Nanyue Kingdom, it will be terrible.

If those countries that have been eyeing Nanyue Kingdom covetously take advantage of the opportunity to start a war, Nanyue Kingdom will surely be in dire straits.

I have to say that the village head is indeed thinking long-term, but it is also true.

The village head thought about what the county magistrate had said to him when he went to see him yesterday. After informing the people in the village, he planned to go to Donghai Town again.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Shuwen heard the prescription from the head of the village last night, he also planned to go to Donghai Town.

Everyone in Gu Shuwen's family, except him and Niu Cuihua, had a fever.

He happened to be next to him when the village chief came to tell him the prescription last night.

Although he didn't know what these herbs looked like or what their effects were, he still remembered their names firmly in his mind.

It was too late last night, so their family did not go out to dig herbs.

Today, at dawn, Gu Jing's illness was not serious, so he got up and staggered to dig herbs.

Why didn't Gu Shuwen go? Gu Jingsheng thought that as a scholar, how could he do such things!

Gu Shuwen thought about this matter all night last night, and his attempt to "kneel down to save his mother" that night failed.

Why not report this prescription to the county magistrate!

Last night, when Gu Jingsheng's grandfather, the village head, was chatting, he heard that many people in Donghai Town had also fallen ill.

If I tell the county magistrate the prescription, then all the sick people in the town will be cured, wouldn't that be the credit to me?

After thinking about it for a night, he decided to do it!

If this matter is accomplished, the county magistrate will report his deeds to the current emperor, and the emperor may not need to take the imperial examination himself, but reward him with an official position.

By then, the group of lowly people in Guzhuang would be within his control.

So, after dinner, he went to Gu Lili's house, ready to take Gu Lili to Donghai Town to find the county magistrate.

Gu Lili and the village head hit it off immediately and set off.

As for sugar, come back at night and make it with a torch.

The two of them just happened to follow Gu Shuwen on the road to Donghai Town.

Gu Shuwen walked for more than an hour and finally arrived at the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Gu Shuwen discovered that there was an official document posted on the gate.

He walked closer and saw that it turned out to be an official document issued by the county magistrate.

"Recently, plague has been rampant in Donghai Town. This county magistrate is recruiting talented and righteous people. Anyone who can solve this plague will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver."

When Gu Shuwen saw it, he couldn't help but look happy.

Isn't it a matter of gaining both fame and fortune?

He stretched out his hand, peeled off the official document, put it in his arms, and walked towards the county government office.

Not long after he left, the village head and Gu Lili also arrived at the city gate, panting.

Today was supposed to be the market day in Donghai Town, but because of the plague, there were not many people on the streets.

Sizhu's father did not drive the ox cart today because Sizhu and Sizhu's mother were sick.

If the village head wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have walked so fast.

However, he thought that if he could tell the county magistrate the prescription as soon as possible, the sick person would recover sooner.

When he reached the city gate, he really couldn't walk anymore, so he stopped with Gu Lili and Gu Lili.

Anyway, we've already reached the city gate, so it won't be a problem to sit down and rest for a while before continuing on our way.

The two of them sat on the stone pier at the city gate to rest.

The village head couldn't help but sigh that it is better for people to be young.

When I was young, I could walk dozens of miles on mountain roads a day without even breathing hard.

Ugh!

The village head rested for a while, but did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly took Gu Lili to the county government office.

"Master Li, I would like to ask for an audience with the county magistrate. I have important matters to report to him!" said the village head to Master Li.

Master Li didn't have a fever, but his throat was so sore that it hurt every time he swallowed saliva. He didn't sleep well all night.

"The county magistrate is discussing important matters with others inside. If Gu Lizheng has anything important to say, let's talk about it later!" said Master Li unhappily.

I have to go on business trip even when I am sick. Who in my family would understand?

Master Li was so angry that he had no place to vent!

When the village head heard this, he said quickly, "I have a way to cure the plague, but we can't delay any longer. Master Li, please go in and report it quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Master Li could not help but mutter, "Just now someone said that there is a way to cure the plague. How come there is another one? Gu Lizheng, you must not come here to take credit just because you saw the reward from the county magistrate! I tell you, if the prescription doesn't work, be careful that the county magistrate will give you a few beatings!"

The village head and Gu Lili looked at each other and immediately had a bad feeling.

However, the situation was urgent and the head of the village had no time to think about it, so he urged Master Li to go in and report.

Master Li thought about it and went in.

Both of them say they have prescriptions, so let the county magistrate decide which one to use!

After a while, the village head and Gu Lili were invited in by Master Li.

As soon as they entered, their faces darkened because they saw Gu Shuwen standing below the county magistrate with a smile on his face.

"Shuwen, why are you here?" asked the head of the village in a deep voice.

Gu Shuwen couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the head of the village and Gu Lili, but when he thought of the two hundred taels of silver and the dream of getting an official position, he gritted his teeth and looked at the two of them.

Gu Shuwen said stiffly, "I'm here to give the county magistrate a prescription for curing the plague!"

Gu Shuwen didn't know that this was the prescription that Gu Lili gave to the village head.

The county magistrate also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Gu Lizheng, the young man in your village is quite kind-hearted, which is really rare! If he is really useful, this county magistrate will definitely reward him handsomely!"

At this time, the county magistrate was still running a high fever. When he heard Gu Shuwen say that he had a prescription for treatment, he didn't even take a rest and came to see Gu Shuwen.

Early this morning, the headmen of seven or eight villages came to report that someone had died in their village.

All in all, there were about twenty or thirty people, which made the county magistrate very worried.

The county magistrate has already sent people to prepare the medicine according to Gu Shuwen's prescription. If it works, he will definitely reward them handsomely.

After hearing the county magistrate's words, the village head and Gu Lili's faces were so gloomy that water could drip from them.

This prescription belongs to Gu Lili. Even if there is a reward, it must be given to Gu Lili.

The head of the village brought Gu Lili to tell the county magistrate that he was not seeking credit for the honor. On the contrary, he wanted to get some rewards for Gu Lili so that her family would have a house to live in.

"Excuse me, County Magistrate, what prescription did Gu Shuwen give you?" The head of the village bowed to the County Magistrate and asked.

The county magistrate waved to the bailiff, who brought up the prescription and handed it to the village head.

Anyway, if this prescription is useful, it should be given to the village head first, and then the head will inform the villagers, so it’s okay to give it to the village head Gu.

The village head saw that this recipe was exactly the one that Gu Lili had told him.

This Gu Shuwen is so shameless.

Sure enough, if you are not a family, you will not enter the same family.

The head of the village was so angry when he saw the prescription that he didn't care that the county magistrate was right next to him and kicked Gu Shuwen hard.

"You bastard! You are a scholar! How can you do such a shameless thing!"
