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

Yu Jiusi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "You did a good job, but we still can't just let people go. Some diseases are deeply hidden. So... I will go to the mansion today."

Li Shiyuan couldn't sit still after hearing this, so he stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you."

After saying that, he began to think. No matter whether there was an epidemic in Xingning Prefecture or not, he must follow Yu Jiusi to be safe.

Now the undercurrents in Changnan Prefecture are surging. I wonder how many pairs of eyes are staring at Yu Jiusi. If the epidemic is true...

He couldn't let Yu Jiusi take risks alone, otherwise, when he returned to Tongan County, how would he face the Earl and Lord Shen? Even committing suicide would not be enough to apologize.

Yu Jiusi frowned slightly and refused immediately: "How can that be possible? The epidemic in the village has not completely subsided. If you leave..."

If Jimun is still being targeted by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't it be giving others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation once he and Li Shiyuan leave, thus making all their previous efforts go to waste?

This cannot be done.

Just as the two were arguing, a voice sounded from behind them.

"I will stay here!"

The two men turned around at the same time when they heard the voice, but there were only so many people in the shed now. Who else could speak like this except Doctor Zhang?

Doctor Zhang walked quickly to the side of the two men, stood still and bowed to Yu Jiusi, "General Yu, Doctor Li has the ability to heal the dead and turn bones into flesh. It would be a waste of his talent to keep him in the village to treat this minor plague. Why not allow him to go with you? What's happening around you is also the people's business!"

Li Shiyuan's old face rarely turned red due to his being praised so much by him.

"Doctor Zhang, I have only seen more and learned more from medical books. I dare not say anything like 'the doctor killed the patient and left the bones with flesh'. Please be careful with your words..."

And there is this pestilence.

When he first arrived at Jimu Village that day, Doctor Zhang was so anxious that he was extremely worried. Now he turns around and calls this plague "little plague"?

It's really a bit disrespectful to the plague.

Doctor Zhang waved his sleeves and winked at him, "Don't be too modest, old man. Just now you came up with a method that can prevent and treat natural... How can you not call it 'healing the dead and turning the bones into flesh'? You deserve the title of Medical Saint!"

He deliberately did not say the word "smallpox" because he wanted to assure Li Shiyuan that he, Doctor Zhang, would definitely keep the "smallpox secret".

Second...

He always felt that if he didn't tell this matter in front of "others", it would be as if it was a secret between the two of them alone, making him feel that his relationship with Li Shiyuan had taken a step closer.

When Li Shiyuan heard the "Medical Saint" twitch his eyebrows, he felt ashamed and raised his sleeves to cover his face and said, "Please don't say it..."

Without giving Doctor Zhang another chance to speak, he turned to Yu Jiusi and said, "General, although I don't have the ability that Doctor Zhang said, I still ask for your permission to follow me. Doctor Zhang was right. Now the epidemic in the village is nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing his determined expression, Yu Jiusi wavered for a moment: "But...but what is the current situation of Jimu Village? I am sure you know it. I am worried..."

"It shouldn't be..." Li Shiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know how to be an official, I have seen wild dogs hunting in the wild many times."

Yu Jiusi suddenly looked up at him.

Because he had also seen "wild dogs hunting".

Wild dogs travel in groups, lying in wait for their prey and waiting for their opportunity.

But they will only attack once, and if they fail, they will change their prey. It is not because the prey is alert and they have no chance to attack again, but it is their nature.

——They are afraid of hunting failure and also afraid of revenge by the prey. They want to eat the prey but dare not put it into action.

This is a wild dog.

"What you mean is..." A thoughtful look flashed in Yu Jiusi's eyes. It was not a feeling, but all the previous signs told him that Li Shiyuan was right.

"Don't you think so?" Li Shiyuan stroked his beard. "Jimu Village is no longer a suitable 'prey'. The 'wild dogs' have given up on it."

Doctor Zhang was confused. "Aren't we talking about epidemics? What's the point of talking about wild dogs or hunting?"

No one answered him.

Li Shiyuan struck while the iron was hot, looking at Yu Jiusi and said, "General, the affairs of the mansion cannot be delayed now. Doctor Zhang has the ability to handle them on his own. Besides, the epidemic in the village is not a big deal anymore, so let me go with you."

Doctor Zhang straightened his back when he heard Li Shiyuan's praise. "General, you can rest assured. Jimu Village is only half a day's journey from the city. You can leave the people you need behind. I will send you a message about the situation in the village every day to reassure you. Is that okay?"

When Xue Mai heard that Li Shiyuan was going to follow Yu Jiusi back to Changnan Prefecture, he thought about it.

——Li Shiyuan went to Changnan Prefecture, so shouldn’t Xue Mai follow him?

Doesn't that mean he can also go back to Changnan Prefecture!

Then there is nothing to hesitate about!

But his reason was even more "selfish" than Li Shiyuan's. "General, why don't you let Doctor Li follow you? You are the backbone of Changnan Prefecture now. Your safety is the most important thing. You can't let anything happen to you!"

To be honest, Yu Jiusi is not a person without his own opinions, nor is he someone who can be persuaded by just a few words.

But what Li Shiyuan said just now was not groundless. If Xingning Prefecture really had an epidemic, Governor Lu would be too busy to take care of himself and would have no time to continue to focus on Changnan Prefecture.

Moreover, he has recently been collecting information about Governor Lu's behavior, and it must be said that the word "wild dog" is very appropriate.

"That's it." Yu Jiusi made the decision, "Doctor Zhang will stay in the village and send a message to me every morning and evening, and Doctor Li will go back to the palace with me."

He looked at Li Shiyuan and said in a deep voice: "We may still have a tough battle to fight."

Li Shiyuan laughed and threw the medical box behind him, "Don't worry, General! I have been prepared since I left Tongan County!"

Afterwards, Yu Jiusi went back to his tent to pack up, while Li Shiyuan randomly chose a place and told him all the things he needed to pay attention to.

Doctor Zhang couldn't remember what was going on, so he took out a pen and paper and said, "Slow down... please go slower..."

Just as he was writing in a panic, Li Shiyuan said lightly, "After the matter in Jimu Village is settled, you can come to the mansion to find me. If you are willing, you can go back to Tongan County with me."

Doctor Zhang was stunned and asked, "Do you still want to go back with you?"

Li Shiyuan naturally couldn't say that he didn't understand the development of Tongan Medical Clinic for the time being, so he needed to bring people back to seek Shen Zheng's opinion.

He only said: "You can only feel at ease if you meet Lord Shen and take a tour of Tongan County. Besides, Lord Shen must be present for all matters."
