Mrs. Wang became more and more angry as she spoke.

"More and more people have been dying in the city these days, so everyone's been pressuring him to treat the sick, but he's been hesitant and unwilling to do anything. He's been taking our hard-earned money but achieving nothing. No one trusts him anymore, and in the end, he was... killed!"

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe felt a chill down his spine.

In this isolated era, once the people are in desperate situations, their atrocities are more horrifying than the plague.

She became more and more certain that entrusting the medicinal materials to Lord Lin to deal with the epidemic was the wisest decision.

As a powerless woman, her status is particularly low in this era.

If there is any mistake in the treatment of the epidemic, her fate may be even more tragic than that of the old liar.

"Sister Wang, you must use these herbs!"

Jiang Jinhe interrupted Mrs. Wang's chatter, gave her a warning, and went back to her room to rest on the pretext of something.

The death of the charlatan, the spread of the epidemic, the rising death toll, the increasingly turbulent situation in the city, Jiang Jinhe felt uneasy.

In this chaotic situation, people's hearts are difficult to guess.

She secretly vowed that she would never let herself be caught up in the vortex of epidemic treatment.

Jiang Jinhe was really scared.

What you fear will come true. In the afternoon, someone came to ask for help.

Jiang Jinhe said she was not feeling well and refused to go out of the house.

Song Yuyu circled around in the yard outside, trying to persuade them to disperse, but no one was willing to move.

Fortunately, the man was worried that Jiang Jinhe would be annoyed, so he didn't force himself on her. He just knelt at the door and begged with tears and snot.

He wanted to use the whip of morality to force Jiang Jinhe to appear, but she didn't buy it and never showed up from beginning to end.

The farce was not over until Song Wenqin returned.

Jiang Jinhe wrote down all the methods of preventing and controlling plague in the future and passed them to Lin Shen through Song Wenqin.

Lin Shen acted quickly and began arranging disinfection of the entire city that same day.

The required herbs will be distributed uniformly by the county government.

Although Lin Shen acted decisively, the epidemic was like a tiger descending from the mountains, coming with great force.

Their initial defensive measures had little effect, and the number of people falling ill in the city continued to rise.

Lin Shen was really at a loss, so he chose a quiet time at night and went to Jiang Jinhe's house in person to ask for a meeting.

He knew in his heart that Jiang Jinhe was an extraordinary woman with insight and ability.

"I understand that Madam is hurt by the misunderstandings of the villagers and do not wish to interfere in this matter any further. However, I simply cannot sit idly by this time."

After saying that, Lin Shen stood up, bowed deeply to Jiang Jinhe, and spoke sincerely.

"I implore you, Madam, to put aside your past grudges and join hands with me to help our fellow villagers overcome this difficult time."

Lin Shen did not forget to promise Jiang Jinhe:

"Please rest assured, Madam. I will stand before you this time and will never let you suffer any more doubts or harm!"

Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin exchanged glances, and they were indeed a little shaken.

Although she had made up her mind not to get involved in disputes, how could she really stand idly by when she saw her fellow villagers suffering?

Influenced by the new era, Jiang Jinhe found it difficult to refuse Lin Shen's plea.

Song Wenqin could also see her hesitation and nodded gently to encourage her.

Jiang Jinhe smiled at him, then stepped forward to help Lin Shen up and said:

"For the sake of Lord Lin's kindness, I agree. However, I will only work behind the scenes and not show up. I'll trouble Lord Lin with the outside matters."

When Lin Shen heard this, his face was filled with joy and he bowed deeply to Jiang Jinhe again.

"On behalf of the people of Huizhou, I thank you, Madam, for your kindness and righteousness in forgiving past grudges."

Having promised to help, Jiang Jinhe immediately got to work.

She first discussed the current progress of the epidemic with Lin Shen in detail, and then discussed countermeasures.

Upon hearing that more than half of the people in the city had been affected by the epidemic, Jiang Jinhe acted decisively and proposed isolating the infected.

This move can at least protect the remaining people and reduce the risk of infection.

"Sir, we must first isolate the confirmed patients. This will not only curb the spread of the epidemic, but also allow doctors to focus on treatment."

Lin Shenshen agreed and further suggested:

"It might be more appropriate to further classify and isolate infected people according to the severity of their illness."

Jiang Jinhe looked at Lin Shen in surprise. She didn't expect that he, an ancient man, would have such forward-looking thinking.

Noticing Jiang Jinhe's surprise and approval, Lin Shen smiled embarrassedly.

The two were talking enthusiastically and didn't notice that Song Wenqin's face was getting darker.

After the discussion, it was already late at night.

Lin Shen was in high spirits and immediately began to prepare various matters after returning home.

The next morning, Song Wenqin accompanied Jiang Jinhe to the county government office and offered to assist.

However, the isolation work is arduous, and the people are panicking and unwilling to cooperate, making the situation difficult.

Lin Shen changed his usual gentle demeanor and took decisive and resolute measures.

Urban housing is clearly divided into two areas:

The county government office serves as the dividing line, with uninfected people living on one side and infected people on the other. Both sides are close to the county government office in an effort to alleviate people's panic.

All doctors are provided with food and lodging at the county government office so that the condition of the infected can be monitored at any time.

The infected people are classified according to the severity of their illness and placed in different areas.

The quarantine alone took up an entire day. Although Jiang Jinhe was not present at the scene, he was exhausted from constantly providing solutions to the problems.

The brain keeps working to deal with various situations.

Fortunately, everything was arranged properly and everyone got what they wanted.

Subsequently, treatment and prevention will become the focus, and doctors will engage in intensive work.

At dusk, Song Wenqin took Jiang Jinhe home again.

After dinner, Jiang Jinhe fell asleep immediately on the bed because he was satisfied with Song Yuyu's cooking skills.

Unexpectedly, I was awakened from my light sleep by the noise soon.

The second wife of the Song family and Zhang Chunxiang came to the house with Yingzi in their arms. As soon as they entered the room, they knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Third brother! Third brother, please come and save Yingzi!"

The girl in his arms had a flushed face and was breathing rapidly, obviously sick and had a fever. She was not sent to the isolation area, which clearly indicated that her illness was being concealed.

Song Wenqin was well aware of the seriousness of the situation and had been busy for more than half a day.

His expression was solemn at the moment.

"If a child is sick, they should be sent to an isolation area. Why would you ask me for help? We are not doctors!"

He has always been cold towards the other two branches of the Song family. In addition, due to their strength, they have no choice but to rely on him.

When Song Er heard this, he was unhappy and wanted to argue, but Zhang Chunxiang stopped him by pulling his clothes, and he fell silent in anger.

Zhang Chunxiang held her child in her arms, tears in her eyes, and kowtowed repeatedly for help.

Jiang Jinhe went out to check in a daze. Seeing this, Zhang Chunxiang crawled over with her young daughter in her arms to ask for help.

Looking at the child who was gasping for breath due to high fever, I recalled Yingzi's usual well-behaved appearance and felt pity for her.

Sensing that Jiang Jinhe's attitude had softened, Zhang Chunxiang took advantage of the situation and made another plea:

"Third sister-in-law, the past mistakes were mine, and I admit my mistake. Considering Yingzi's kindness in bringing you food, please save her life!"

When mentioning the old experience of delivering food, the memories of the original body flooded into Jiang Jinhe's mind.

Although Yingzi was a girl, she was quite favored by the second wife. She did little housework and was not criticized at all.

There would certainly be no shortage of food. In the past, Song Wenqin had been away from hunting for several days, and it was Yingzi who secretly passed him food, thus saving him from hunger.

Jiang Jinhe thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement.
