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

Looking at the expressions of the two men, County Magistrate Yang knew that they were overthinking.

"Old Lin, go and prepare a silver needle and I will teach you!" said County Magistrate Yang.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Lin immediately asked someone to prepare silver needles.

After a while, the silver needles were ready.

County Magistrate Yang took it, held County Magistrate Lin's hand, and stabbed him!

"This is Shaoshang acupoint. Bleeding from this acupoint can reduce fever. Combined with the auxiliary treatment of the prescription, the plague will gradually disappear!" County Magistrate Yang said to the two while squeezing out blood.

On this day, County Magistrate Yang had taught countless Li Zheng how to prick the Shaoshang acupoint, and he had already become an expert at it.

Magistrate Lin grimaced in pain, but after hearing what Magistrate Yang said, his eyes lit up.

It's amazing, after giving himself the acupuncture, Old Yang actually felt that his body seemed less heavy.

Old Yang is a man who never talks nonsense. He only tells me things that must be useful.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it. After Old Yang's piercing, I feel much more relaxed. Old Wu, come on, come on, try it too. It's a good opportunity to learn where to pierce!" County Magistrate Lin said as he grabbed County Magistrate Wu's hand.

Magistrate Yang put away his needle and attacked Magistrate Wu.

He felt similarly to Magistrate Lin. His body seemed to have felt a lot lighter. It seemed that the plague had been cured.

However, this prescription was found by Lao Yang. After this illness, Lao Yang will definitely be praised by the prefect. In the future, his chances of promotion will definitely be greater than his own.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Wu's eyes couldn't help but darken.

Magistrate Lin patted Magistrate Wu on the shoulder and asked, "Old Wu, do you feel a lot more relaxed now?"

"Oh... yes, yes, I feel much better!" County Magistrate Wu finally came to his senses and said stutteringly.

Seeing Magistrate Wu's distraught look, neither of them thought much about it.

"In that case, let's quickly inform the headmen under our respective jurisdiction. Old Yang, you go to Jiangbei Prefecture to inform Prefect Zheng!" After receiving the prescription, County Magistrate Lin rushed out, ready to implement the matter as soon as possible.

It's almost midnight now, but there's nothing we can do.

Only by notifying the village head as soon as possible and allowing the people to receive treatment quickly can we reduce further casualties.

County Magistrate Yang asked, "Then I'll go to Jiangbei Prefecture and inform Pingshui Town. Also, I see that you two are both seriously ill. Hurry up and boil some medicine according to the prescription before going!"

County Magistrate Zhou of Pingshui Town did not come today, and no one knows what the situation is like over there.

"That's fine. This medicine isn't hard to find anyway. I'll send someone to make it. Let's drink some medicine before we go! You don't have to worry about Pingshui Town, Old Yang. It just so happens that the village I manage borders Xifeng Town, so I'll notify everyone along the way and head west."

County Magistrate Yang originally wanted to set off immediately, but when he thought about the horses that had been running all day, he thought he should take a rest.

Otherwise, what if the horse gets exhausted to death on the way?

Besides, I haven't taken any medicine for a day and my throat is very sore, so I should take a rest and take some medicine before leaving.

You can work more efficiently only if you are fully focused!

County Magistrate Lin quickly ordered someone to boil the medicine. During this time, County Magistrate Yang finally had his first meal of the day.

Although it was just a bowl of noodles, it was really satisfying.

After about half an hour, the medicine was ready. The three of them drank the medicine and went their separate ways.

Mingyue County is more than fifty miles away from Jiangbei Prefecture. The other four towns have fallen, and I'm afraid Jiangbei Prefecture will not be able to escape either.

Mingyue Town, Xifeng Town, Donghai Town, Nanyang Town, and Jiangbei Prefecture’s jurisdiction.

This Prefect Zheng was stationed in Jiangbei Prefecture and was in charge of the affairs of the capital county.

Because it was dark and the horses were too tired, County Magistrate Yang walked for an entire night to cover the distance of fifty or sixty miles, and only arrived at Jiangbei Prefecture at daybreak.

When they arrived at the county government office, the horse was already exhausted, and Master Li and Magistrate Yang were also exhausted.

However, the work had not been completed yet, so he could only force himself to walk towards the Jiangbei government office.

When they arrived at the government office, County Magistrate Yang informed Prefect Zheng of the prescription and the method of bloodletting.

Prefect Zheng has been troubled by the plague these days and is as anxious as a fly on his brow.

He had issued the reward early on, but no one came to claim it.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, County Magistrate Yang came to tell him the prescription, which was like perfect luck.

Prefect Zheng laughed while holding the prescription, "Well, well, well, Magistrate Yang, you have really done a great deed. I must write a memorial about this and present it to His Majesty, asking Him to reward you!"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Yang quickly explained, "Your Excellency the Prefect, this prescription is not mine, but was given to me by Gu Lili from Gu Village in our town. If anyone is to give her a reward, it should be her. I dare not take credit for it!"

When Master Li, who was standing by, heard what Magistrate Yang said, he instantly felt very disappointed with him.

This County Magistrate Yang is really brainless, he deserves to be a county magistrate for life!

Such a good opportunity for promotion was missed!

When Prefect Zheng heard what Magistrate Yang said, his eyes were filled with admiration.

"County Magistrate Yang is truly a man of high character. I will report this matter to you after the plague is over! You can take a rest in the government office. I will send someone to issue the prescription right away!"

After Prefect Zheng finished speaking, he sent someone to take County Magistrate Yang and Lawyer Li downstairs to rest.

After these two people finished their work, they naturally needed to rest before leaving.

Even if they can hold on, Master Ma can't.

It’s a full ninety miles from Jiangbei Prefecture back to Donghai Town.

Even if the horse was in its best condition, it would take two or three hours, not to mention that the horse was exhausted now.

Prefect Zheng knew that they must not have eaten, so he specially ordered people to prepare food for them before going down to rest.

At the dinner table, Master Li looked unhappy.

County Magistrate Yang obviously saw it and knew why Master Li was unhappy.

After finishing his meal, Master Li was about to go to rest without even looking back, but was stopped by County Magistrate Yang.

"Mu Qing, stop, let's talk!"

Master Li and Magistrate Yang have been working together for seven years. In public, they are superiors and subordinates, but when no one is around, they are more like good friends and confidants.

When Mr. Li heard the county magistrate calling his name, he turned around and came back.

The two of them did not sleep that day and night, just to pass on the prescription as quickly as possible.

Two people took turns driving the carriage because the yamen runners were sent by County Magistrate Yang to the village to help the people.

Master Li thought, weren't the two doing this just to get promoted and make money?

Unexpectedly, in the end, County Magistrate Yang even pushed the credit away.

Thinking of this, Master Li became furious.

"I wonder if Lord Yang wants me to give you some advice?"
