"In addition, I will give you another ten thousand acres of good farmland."

Emperor Qingning has also invested a huge amount of money at this moment. If the epidemic spreads more and more widely, the situation will be unimaginable.

"The slave obeys the order!"

After responding, Zhou Jushan lowered his head and walked out.

Damn it, how long will he keep calling himself a slave?

On the second day, the imperial edict was quickly posted in the capital and surrounding areas.

The news that the emperor was searching widely among the people for talented people who could cure the epidemic spread, and the generous rewards made many people salivate.

Most people were just there to watch the fun, and no one signed up two days after the imperial edict was posted.

After the Chief Judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau Qi Yun and Concubine Ying Zhou Jushan had agreed on the plan, he began to slowly relax. He left work earlier and earlier, became unkempt, and looked like a proud child who had encountered setbacks and was depressed.

However, Qi Yun secretly rolled it up in the Qi family mansion.

As a test taker, Qi Yun's hobby is to delve into the subject. Constantly overcoming difficult problems can bring him pleasure and a sense of accomplishment.

He has basically completed the first set of prescriptions for epidemics and taught them to Xin Yingshu, and he will be able to use them soon when the time is right.

As the saying goes, when you look at a mountain from the front you see different peaks. When studying mathematics, a big problem can have three or four solutions. Qi Yun was thinking that there is more than one set of prescriptions that can treat a disease. Perhaps he could change his thinking and work out a few more sets. After all, symptoms will also change.

The study of the left minister of the Imperial Medical Service.

Lang Daowen, the left court judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and others were scolded by Emperor Qingning for their inability to treat Marquis Chengyang. They returned from Chengyang Mansion in disgrace and discussed a strategy.

Doctor Luo frowned and said, "Master Lang, what should we do now?"

Lang Daowen raised his eyes and looked towards Qi Yun's room. "Qi Yun has been staying in his room for more than half a month. Is there any movement from him?"

The other doctors all said, "Nothing happened. It looks like there is no result."

Doctor Ni, who was keeping an eye on Qi Yun's movements, recalled Qi Yun's depressed state in the past few days and gloated: "Qi Yun has been leaving the Imperial Hospital earlier and earlier these days."

"I no longer study all night, but drink every day. It seems that I am ready to give up halfway."

Doctor Luo also remembered when he heard this: "In the beginning, Qi Yun would risk contracting the epidemic to prescribe medicine and diagnose the pulses of those patients who were isolated and left to fend for themselves."

"Not only is it a waste of energy, it's just enough to keep them alive, and it will also consume a lot of medicinal materials in the pharmacy. I heard that the pharmacy has stopped giving Qi Yun money for medicinal materials. He subsidizes the medicine for those palace servants himself."

"Now he probably realizes that he is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot on his own, so he gradually gives up."

Doctor Jiang sneered, "Haha, Qi Yun is lucky not to have been infected with the plague."

"Paying out of your own pocket to treat a lowly palace maid is just a woman's kindness. You are not capable enough and it is just a waste of medicinal materials."

"You are still too young. You have seen little of life and death. You are too ambitious and always think you can control the overall situation."

Dao Wen, the judge of the Left Court, stroked his beard and said cautiously, "Qi Yun has seen so many patients, so he must have gained something. Could it be that he is hiding his abilities?"

The others looked at each other, thinking that this was possible.

Although they were not convinced that Qi Yun could take the position of Chief Judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, they knew that he was capable. It was impossible that there was no progress at all after half a month of research, right?

"That's right. Qi Yun has the old doctor Qi behind him. The old doctor Qi has faced three major epidemics and his experience is here."

Doctor Luo, who was closest to Lang Daowen, lowered his voice and said, "Sir, why don't we..."

After listening to the doctor's words, Lang Daowen lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. Remember to do it in a covert way."

At night, at the hour of Chou, a man in black sneaked into the study of Qi Yun, who worked in the Imperial Hospital, and rummaged around with a tinderbox.

He searched for a long time and found a wooden box in the secret compartment of the desk. He pried open the lock of the box and saw a dozen papers made of strange materials inside.

The man in black remembered that his superior had told him that when Qi Yun was researching epidemic prescriptions, he always wrote on thin paper, and that kind of paper was not available on the market.

He happily put the papers into his arms.

*

The next day, at Lang Daowen’s private residence.

Doctor Luo saw Lang Daowen frowning and asked, "Sir, did you find any clues in Qi Yun's room?"

"No, no, the things have been brought here, but——"

Lang Daowen sighed and took out a roll of manuscript paper from his sleeve and slapped it on the table: "Can anyone of you recognize what is written on it?"

Several lackeys of Lang Daowen gathered together and saw that the thin paper was full of words, but these imperial doctors could not recognize a single word.

The notes on it are like bean sprouts. Although they are arranged neatly, they are confusing and it is impossible to recognize what the text is.

Doctor Jiang: "Although I can't understand these symbols, he has drawn a lot of Chinese herbal medicines on the paper. I can vaguely recognize that this is honeysuckle, this is astragalus..."

Doctor Luo: "But what is certain is that the things on the paper are very important, otherwise he wouldn't have locked it up and hid it so deeply."

After Lang Daowen pondered for a moment, he called the housekeeper and ordered him, "Go, find some people in the martial arts world who know how to decipher the code characters!"

The imperial edict was posted in various places one after another, and finally a few people appeared to take it down.

However, after testing, it was found that they were only treating the symptoms and not the root cause, which was similar to the method used by the palace physician to keep Marquis Chengyang on life.

An imperial edict was also posted at the gate of Lianzhou City, and the He family knew more about the matter.

After He Jing heard the attendant who came back from Lianzhou talking about the imperial edict when he was delivering food, he relayed it to Jiang Lili.

"Miss Jiang, my people brought back something new from Lianzhou."

Jiang Lili was closely following the developments in Beijing in the group chat. Hearing this, she asked, "What do you mean?"

"The capital and surrounding areas are plagued by epidemics, and the emperor is looking for folk experts to cure the epidemic." He Jing spoke of the generous reward with a look of yearning on his face: "The reward is 10,000 taels of gold, and the highest can be made an exception to be a fifth-rank official!"

"Oh? This condition is really tempting!"

After hearing the news, Jiang Lili couldn't help but wonder, if the person to be dealt with was a concubine in the cold palace, or the Xin family whom they hated so much, she didn't know how Emperor Qingning and the Queen Mother would react.

Jiang Lili saw from the corner of her eye that He Jing's face had improved a lot, and she was impressed by the squad leader's superb medical skills. However, the acne on He Jing's face disappeared, but a sore appeared on his mouth. "Why is there such a big sore on your mouth?"

"Oh, it's still a headache." He Jing sighed: "Although our He family is the most prominent in Lingnan, several families that are not as prominent as the He family have been restless recently."

"Right now, while the He family is preparing for my aunt's birthday party, they have started to make some small moves."

Jiang Lili understood after hearing this. The prominence of the He family will always block the way of some people. There will always be jealous people who will try their best to bring the He family down.
