"I heard it's been going on for a while now, and it seems to be getting worse. Starting with the county magistrate, more and more people have developed the same disease."

If Master Shen hadn't specifically told him about the situation in Lanyang County, he wouldn't have cared about it. It was too late to celebrate the death of these people. "The county magistrate doesn't know, but I heard that the others can't move anymore."

"Are there many people with this symptom here? Or have these symptoms occasionally occurred since they started eating human flesh?" If that was true, she probably knew what was going on.

Zhang Tie thought about it carefully and said, "It seems to be true."

Seeing Sheng Changan's thoughtful expression, County Magistrate Wu asked, "Does your Excellency know what the disease is?"

"It's a virus that spreads by eating people. It may not be obvious at first, but it will always appear over time, and it cannot be cured." It is a terminal illness even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

"Really? Really?" Zhang Tie was a little excited. They really got their retribution. "But, but the doctor they found is said to be very good. Can he cure it?" Zhang Tie rubbed his hands nervously.

"No, no doctor can cure it." But she was very curious about the doctor, because her Guangping was in need of a doctor.

"How dare you, you quack doctor! What nonsense are you talking about?" the man sitting on the bed shouted angrily. "This is the will of heaven. Nowadays, which minister doesn't eat human flesh? Are you going to openly defy the divine order?"

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." If he hadn't threatened his apprentice, how could he have come to treat this unscrupulous man?

"Come here, put him in jail for me." The servant behind him immediately brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of the Lanyang County Magistrate who was very angry.

But before he could drink, someone else rushed in and said, "Sir, something's wrong!"

-------

"What did you mean the Xianbei are coming?" Sheng Changan was a little surprised. What kind of good news is this?

The young man glanced at Sheng Changan and said, "I heard that he didn't get anything in Guangping, so he came to Lanyang."

Sheng Changan suppressed her excitement. She didn't expect that being poor did have some advantages. "The opportunity is coming." It was really God helping her.

"I'll keep watching." Shen Huaian left after saying that. After all, he couldn't be away for long. If he was discovered, he would be finished.

It seems that she has to go to the county magistrate's mansion. "Li Dashan and I will go to the county magistrate's mansion. You wait here for news."

Wu Xiancheng was a little nervous. "Sir, this is too dangerous."

"Don't worry, I'm also very interested in that miracle doctor, I'll be fine." It would be easier to make a fuss after going in.

County Magistrate Wu was still somewhat reluctant, but after his repeated persuasion, Sheng Changan still looked determined and he had no choice but to give in.

Sheng Chang'an looked at the gate in front of him. It was made of nanmu wood and the door panels were carved with lifelike patterns. This county magistrate must be living a good life.

The person standing at the door came down with a stern look on his face and asked, "Where are you from? What are you doing here?" He looked poor and offered the food to adults, but the adults found it too rough.

Sheng Changan cupped his hands and said, "I heard that you are feeling unwell. My family has been practicing medicine for three generations and I am quite interested in treating difficult and complicated diseases. I have come here to help you."

"Are you serious?" If it was true, maybe he would even get a reward from the adults.

"Of course it's true." Sheng Chang'an's expression remained unchanged. Wang Dashan behind him was a little nervous. The adults really lied without blinking.

The servant rolled his eyes, thinking that he would not lose out anyway. "Alright! Come in with me. I will take you to see the master. You must behave well."

"Of course," Sheng Changan lowered his head in obedience.

"go in!"

Li Dashan also wanted to follow in but was stopped. He could only stand at the door nervously, his whole body tense. If anything unexpected happened, he would rush in to save people immediately.

"You said you could cure me?"

"Yes, I still need to treat you, sir." Sheng Changan put his hand on it in a serious manner and observed his expression carefully.

"It can be cured"

The person on the bed relaxed his expression a little. "How are you going to treat me? Are you going to ask me not to eat human flesh again?"

"No need for that. This is permitted by the current emperor. You are just following the will of heaven. However, you must not overwork yourself during this process. You need to rest for a while."

"This is a bit unfortunate. Please stay at my house and come back to treat me later."

Sheng Changan was a little embarrassed. "Sir, could you give me two people to do the experiment? If there is no problem, you can use it on me later."

"What's the problem with that? Come, take him to the prison to pick someone. If you can't cure me, I'll kill you. If you do, you'll get all the benefits."

"Thank you, sir. I will do my best." Sheng Changan immediately saluted excitedly.

Watching Sheng Changan walk away, the people who had been waiting on the side were a little worried. "Sir, can he really be cured? He is just a little boy."

The person on the bed waved his hand. "It's just a matter of waiting for a while. We still have to keep looking." If he can't cure it, there will be another one. "When will those Xianbei people leave? Send them away quickly."

"Yes." These people are not so easy to get rid of. This time they will probably have to work hard to get them to leave. It's all Guangping County's fault. They are so useless.

The useless Guangping County Magistrate was selecting people in the prison. Sheng Changan's face darkened slightly. This place was probably more than just a prison. It looked like a pig farm. It was mostly filled with children and women. Some of the women were even pregnant, but their faces were deathly still, as if no sound could attract their attention.

"Why is there an older person here?" Sheng Changan seemed a little confused.

A man who was about sixty years old and had a completely white beard immediately stood up and stood behind a little boy. The little boy was very cute and looked about five years old.

"This person is disrespectful to the adults, so wait for your punishment." It means that the big one will be sentenced to death and the small one will be eaten.

Sheng Changan nodded in understanding, "Let's go with them!"

Although the yamen runner was a little surprised, he still opened the cell and brought the man out. "Doctor Wu, don't worry. We have already searched this old man and taken out all his belongings. Doctor Wu, please feel free to treat the master."

As soon as these words came out, the old man immediately glared at Sheng Changan and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The yamen runner kicked the old man and said, "Behave yourself! It is your blessing to be able to test the medicine for the master."

The old man became more and more angry, but his struggle was of no use. Instead, it angered the yamen runners, who even wanted to beat the child. After all, he was just testing medicine and might die, so it was better to let him vent his anger.

Sheng Changan frowned slightly. "Wait a minute, if he gets hurt, what should I do when I try the medicine?"

The bailiff stopped unwillingly and took the man to Sheng Changan's room.
