Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

As the sun sets, a golden glow gradually appears in the sky, like a huge curtain, covering the entire Jimu Village.

Yu Jiusi finally understood why he could easily find evidence of Ning Shunyou's collusion with grain merchants, and why Jimu Village had not been hit by an epidemic despite having suffered from the disaster for so long, but the epidemic came with overwhelming force just a few days after he arrived.

He clenched his fists, his chest heaving, and his eyes were filled with anger that was difficult to conceal.

Li Shiyuan sat opposite him, quietly listening to him talk about his recent situation: "...He and my father have a conflict, so he is against me and the Yongning Earl's Mansion. I have no objection. This is how it is to be an official in the court. When the conflict is so serious that it cannot be resolved, you can only fight to the death. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. I accept this."

"But everyone in my Yongning Marquis's Mansion is a coward. He should never, ever, attack innocent people. He simply... deserves to die."

Although Li Shiyuan was used to seeing life and death, he was unable to remain calm in the face of such events.

"It is indeed not much different from what Lord Bo and Lord Shen guessed. This man is really cruel and ruthless. He dares to use the lives of ordinary people as a means of officialdom. It is simply abominable and hateful! Fortunately, no ordinary people have lost their lives because of this. Otherwise, even if I give up my medical skills and my future, I will use a poisonous prescription to kill him!"

"Oh, there's one more thing!" After he finished speaking, he remembered something else.

"In fact, before I set out, Lord Bo sent two people to set out a day ahead of me. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have come to see you before I did and handed over the method of preventing and treating the disease to you."

Since he said so, Yu Jiusi knew that the accident must have happened.

really--

"But after they entered Changnan Prefecture, they were attacked and had to return with injuries to report the news to me and others. But... they didn't know how the other party knew their identities, so I was extra careful after entering Changnan Prefecture and found your men as soon as possible, so that I could come to see you."

These words came out of Li Shiyuan's mouth in just a few short sentences.

But Yu Jiusi understood that they had gone through so much hardship all the way here, but could it be summarized in just a few words? Moreover, there were people who deliberately tried to stop them, so it was great that they didn't lose their lives.

If I lose my life to help him...

Yu Jiusi clenched his fists tighter and tighter, his nails unconsciously digging into his palms.

He seemed to be unaware and continued to ask: "Where are they now? Can you see each other's appearance clearly?"

Li Shiyuan pointed in the direction of Changnan Prefecture. "Now they are in the city, together with your people. Because their injuries have not yet healed, they are very likely to get sick, so I did not agree to let them come. As for their appearance..."

He frowned after recalling, "From what they said, the other party was masked, fierce and ruthless, with unified moves. Just defending took a lot of their energy, so they didn't see anything clearly. But I think it would be better for you to ask them in person after their injuries have healed. After all, you have been here longer than us and know more."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiusi suddenly looked at him and felt inexplicably relieved.

Whether it was Li Shiyuan and others who had come here after going through hardships, or the soldiers who had been guarding Changnan Prefecture with him, or his grandfather and others who were far away in Liuyang Prefecture, they all put their best efforts to move forward with him.

So he must win this battle, both for the people and for those who work with him.

"I know about it, but there is no rush now. Let them recover first. But... Doctor Li, I wonder how grandfather and Lord Shen predicted that Changnan Prefecture would be hit by an epidemic?"

Yu Jiusi was very curious about this question. Although he did not deliberately conceal the fact that he came to Changnan Prefecture, he received an urgent order.

Before he arrived in Changnan Prefecture, Ning Shunyou still hadn't figured out his background, which shows how urgent this order was.

So how come my grandfather, who was far away in Liuyang Prefecture, knew everything about his surroundings?

Could it be...

Yu Jiusi was suddenly shocked, and pressed the corner of the table and asked anxiously: "Could it be that grandfather and father actually sent people to secretly protect this general?"

Faces flashed through his mind, and he rejected them one by one.

Is it Xue Mai?

It's impossible. If Xue Mai is my grandfather or father's man, he would have nothing better to do than to come and show me his power.

That......

Is it A, B, C, D...the team leader?

Yu Jiusi rolled his eyes when he thought of this. It was even more impossible.

His grandfather and father would never send these idiots to protect him secretly. It would be more accurate to say that he protected them.

He really couldn't understand why the Liuyang Mansion was so well-informed. He was anxious for a moment, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes almost stared through Li Shiyuan.

Li Shiyuan shuddered and coughed, "General, I was in a hurry to leave, so I only know the general reason. That day..."

"That day, Lord Shen and Lord Bo... came to look for me suddenly. At first, they just wanted me to write down the methods to prevent and treat various diseases. Later, I had some guesses, so I asked to come. If we talk about the strange things in Tong'an County before that..."

He took out a throat-clearing pill from his bosom and put it in his mouth. After the itchiness in his throat subsided, he said, "Before that, a senior official came to the county. I heard that he was a senior official from the capital, who was in charge of grain transport. It seems that he will help transport goods for the county in the future."

Yu Jiusi understood immediately.

"Is the other person's surname Wei?" he asked.

"Let me think about it..." Li Shiyuan thought for a long time, but still didn't dare to be sure: "It should be, but I also heard it from the children."

"I understand."

Yu Jiusi sorted out the whole story and was also sure that his grandfather and father had not sent anyone to secretly protect him. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The joy was that he no longer lived under the wings of his grandfather and father, and had the ability to spread his wings and fly. It was also proof that he had their recognition.

What worries me is that since he joined the army, his grandfather and father seem to really not care about his life or death at all...

He is his father's biological son, right? Nan Shu is also his biological sister, right?

"Alas..." Yu Jiusi sighed softly.

Li Shiyuan looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and asked worriedly, "General, are you feeling unwell? Let me feel your pulse. You must not be in any danger, otherwise how can I face Lord Shen when I go back..."

It’s Lord Shen again.

Yu Jiusi heard the three words "Lord Shen" from Li Shiyuan much more often than the two words "Uncle". He almost mentioned "Lord Shen" every three sentences.

From this we can see that the person followed by Doctor Li was not his grandfather, but Lord Shen.
