Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

(A few sentences were added to the last chapter at 12.16:0 today (15), in the last paragraph, so those who have read it before : need to read the last few sentences, otherwise it will not be connected. Bow.)

The magistrate of Jiangfu County felt as if a sword was suddenly hanging over his head.

He was a little scared, but wanted to maintain his image, so he pretended to be calm: "Are you sure?"

"Sure." The bailiff said with a sad face: "They are in the woods right now, sir, what should we do?"

The magistrate of Jiangfu County picked up a wine glass, but because he was distracted, he shook the glass from side to side, and the wine inside spilled onto his hands.

"Sir." The bailiff called out anxiously.

All the runners in the county government have captured patients and kept them in the woods. If they are really held accountable, none of them will be able to escape.

Magistrate Jiangfu put down his teacup and looked outside: "Where is Master Li? Where is he?"

The yamen runner shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't seen Master Li since this morning."

County Magistrate Jiang Fu frowned. The idea of ​​"locking up the patient" was proposed by Master Li. He had to be there at this time.

"Go find Master Li," said the Magistrate of Jiangfu County, "Go quickly!"

The bailiff sighed and turned and ran away.

Yes, Master Li is a smart man and he must know what to do.

The bailiff rushed out with all his might, and when he reached the gate of the county government office, a pair of shoes appeared in front of him.

He stopped suddenly, then looked up and met the kind face of Master Li.

The chief bailiff breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Li, the county magistrate is looking for you."

Master Li nodded and walked in quickly.

*

Seeing Master Li appear, the magistrate of Jiangfu County hurriedly went to greet him, "Master Li, do you know that Master Jiang and Lord Han saw those patients in the woods?"

Master Li nodded.

Jiangfu County Magistrate: "This is not a good thing. We have to think of a solution. If we can't handle it well, I'm afraid I will be reported to the police."

Master Li remained calm: "Don't worry, sir. This matter is not unsolvable. I have a solution."

Jiangfu County Magistrate: "Really?"

Master Li: "Really, sir, please listen to me..."

In the woods.

The guards found three doctors in the county town. After they arrived, they took turns to diagnose the detainees.

In other words, if a patient wants to be discharged, he must pass the diagnosis of three doctors.

This was Han Zheng's request. After all, the patients had been here for many days, had not eaten well or rested well, were weak, and were most likely to get sick. Let multiple doctors take turns to diagnose, so that if someone got sick, they could find out in time and respond immediately.

Of course, just in case, he asked the doctors to cover their noses and mouths with cloth. His second sister-in-law wrote on the paper she gave him that this method could prevent infection with the disease to a certain extent.

The patients were already feeling unwell, so they didn't mind being seen by three doctors, and most of them were even grateful to Han Zheng for doing so.

Because the three doctors came together, they could clearly know the exact condition of their bodies and buy the right medicine for them. They could also save on consultation fees, which was killing two birds with one stone.

*

Han Zheng and Master Jiang stood by and watched the doctor diagnose the patient quietly.

After watching for a while, Master Jiang said, "This Jiangfu County Magistrate is really outrageous. I will definitely report him when I return."

Han Zheng: "He really went too far." Just for the sake of avoiding an epidemic, he directly disregarded the lives of the people. Such a person is not worthy of being a senior official.

"But..." Han Zheng turned his head and looked behind him, "The lawyer in Jiangfu County seems to be a smart man. I'm afraid he has a way to deal with it. I guess they must have received the news by now and should be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, a carriage came rushing towards this side not far away.

Han Zheng paused for a moment and said to Master Jiang, "They are here."

*

Before the carriage stopped, the magistrate of Jiangfu County jumped off.

He stroked his sleeves as he ran, his face showing excitement and fear.

When he was still seven or eight steps away from Han Zheng and Master Jiang, he shouted, "Master Jiang, Master Han, why are you here? This place is dirty, you shouldn't be here."

Master Jiang was angry. Hearing this, he glared at him angrily: "You also know that this place is filthy, but you have the heart to lock up sick people here? Mr. Wei, as an official appointed by the court, you do things without regard for the lives of the people. What crime should you be punished for!"

Magistrate Jiang Fu bowed his head and saluted, "Master Jiang, everything I do is for the good of the people."

Without giving Master Jiang a chance to refute him, Magistrate Jiangfu said, "Each time there is an epidemic after a flood, and I was afraid of the epidemic, so I put the sick people together. I don't think I did anything wrong."

*

What he said does make sense. Most people would probably agree with him, but not Master Jiang.

He mercilessly exposed the false face of the Jiangfu County Magistrate: "What you said makes sense, but the people you ordered to be detained are not sick. If you are willing, you should send people to treat them and let them take medicine to recover, instead of leaving them in such a simple place and letting them die."

"I am innocent, Lord Jiang. I do not agree with what you said." Jiangfu County Magistrate said, "Since the first patient appeared here, I sent people to find a doctor, but there are too few doctors in the county and I could not find any. It was only today that I found two."

After he finished speaking, the Magistrate of Jiangfu clapped his hands, and immediately two doctors came down from the carriage with medicine boxes on their backs. "I just found them, and I brought them here. Oh, and there are medicines. Lord Jiang, you don't know that after the flood, herbs are in short supply, and you can't buy them even if you spend money. I couldn't bear to see these people die, so I sent people to buy medicines from other places. Look, the herbs just arrived today, and they are on the last carriage."

Master Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Even if you are telling the truth, what about those straw huts? You let those patients squeeze together. Once one of them gets the disease, the others will also be infected.

You keep saying you are thinking about the people, but you don’t provide them with a good environment.”

The magistrate of Jiangfu County said: "I can explain this. Lord Jiang, you have also seen in the city that many houses were washed away after the flood. There were not many bricklayers in the city to begin with, and even fewer after the disaster. I wanted to repair the resting place for them, but I couldn't find anyone!"

Master Jiang: “…” This man was so cunning in his arguments. He underestimated him.

Seeing that he had blocked Master Jiang, Magistrate Jiangfu decided to make further efforts. He ran behind several doctors who were diagnosing the case and said to the people who were still waiting: "I have brought some herbs today. You can take whatever you need. I don't want any money."

The people looked at each other.

The magistrate is ill? He was not like this before.

Like this time, if it weren't for him, they wouldn't have to suffer in this woods.

Some people saw that the county magistrate was acting and did not take the bait at all. They just stared at him vigilantly.

When some people heard that no money was required, their impression of the county magistrate changed drastically and they happily prepared to go and get the medicine.

*

Master Jiang looked at this scene and wanted to curse.

Han Zheng stopped him and said, "Jiangfu County Magistrate is well prepared. Sir Jiang, we should not do anything to him today."
