After checking the information, Song Jinshu frowned. The current situation in Dafang County was worse than she had imagined.

There are two hundred villages in Dafang County, and half of them have been counted, but there may still be some that have been missed.

Song Jinshu found the map of Dafang County, examined it carefully, drew some lines on it, and then made a simple isolation plan.

In these villages where the plague has already occurred, villagers cannot be allowed to continue moving around outside to avoid spreading the epidemic.

Song Jinshu found the only remaining officials in Dafang County and carefully instructed them to go to the countryside to inform the villagers not to move around.

She went to the granary in Dafang County to take a look, and when she saw that the granary was half full of grain, she breathed a sigh of relief.

With food, there is no need to worry about the people making trouble, and people's hearts can be stabilized.

Here, Lu Ruoyu and Shen Fenghua have already taken control of Dafang County and are assisting Song Jinshu in controlling the epidemic.

That day, the two men went out to deal with the problem of villagers sneaking out, and returned exhausted the next day.

Song Jinshu, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at them with a look of despair: "You've worked hard these past two days. Take a good rest in the county government office today!"

Lu Ruoyu shook her head, stepped forward to take over the official business in her hand, and comforted her: "I'm not tired, but you, I'm afraid you've been busy all night, right? Go back and rest first, don't exhaust yourself."

Seeing Lu Ruoyu being so attentive, the veins on Shen Fenghua's forehead jumped. He actually knew how to choose the time to please others.

However, Song Jinshu's expression did look very ugly. He also stood up and curled his lips: "That's right! You should go back and rest! If you fall ill, we will still need to take care of you!"

Looking at the concerned eyes of the two people, Song Jinshu felt warm in his heart. These two people are really thoughtful.

Even though he was obviously very tired, he chose to let her go back and rest first.

But Song Jinshu didn't feel tired or sleepy at all at this moment. Perhaps he had just survived the most sleepy period!

"I'm really not sleepy or tired. You two should go back. I'll need you to go out and help me with something tomorrow!"

These days, she was busy collecting medicinal herbs and food, and almost emptied every corner of the county government office.

After digging deep underground, she found the private grain stored by the former magistrate of Dafang County. Together with the remaining grain in the granary, the people of Dafang County can survive for another month.

Within this month, the imperial court will probably issue disaster relief funds and food.

She is keeping the lives of the people hanging by a thread. When people come from Kyoto, it shouldn't take long to cure the plague.

Seeing that she insisted, Lu and Shen did not refuse and went back to their rooms to rest.

Around noon, Song Jinshu compiled a list of patients in Dafang County.

Suddenly, a bailiff came over and said, "Master Song, someone is looking for you outside!"

Song Jinshu was slightly stunned. Dafang County had already closed its channels of communication with the outside world. Who would be so bold as to come to her privately at this time?

She went out with this doubt, met people, and was shocked by the familiar faces in front of her.

"Master Shi? Are you here to get killed?"

Shi Zhubu's smile froze on his face. He felt a little embarrassed and sad, and at the same time, he felt that Song Jinshu's words were unlucky.

What the hell, what you said is so rude!

Do you really think he is willing to come?

if not...

"Um... hehe... Lord Song, it's been a while since we last met. I didn't expect you still remember me."

Shi Zhubu was so sad that he could not even cry. For some reason, Wang Zhizhang insisted on giving Song Jinshu compensation in grain after returning from the provincial capital.

He said that he had a guilty conscience, but indeed, his conscience was clear, yet it sent him to the source of the plague.

Song Jinshu raised his eyebrows. It might not be that simple for Shi Zhubu to come here.

"How could I forget? You were once my number one 'strategist'."

I don't know how many bad suggestions this Shi Zhubu had given to the original owner in private before.

Otherwise, even if the original owner was greedy for money and lustful, he would not be so bold.

Most of the foolish things the original owner had done in the past were instigated by Shi Zhubu.

Of course, the original owner himself was not a good person either, and the two of them just had similar bad tastes.

"Didn't Master Shi seek a better position back then? How come he has time to come here?"

No matter what happened before, she couldn't forget the purpose of Shi Zhubu coming here.

Shi Zhubu suddenly felt sweat pouring down his back. He felt that the person in front of him had changed a lot.

This must be the work of County Magistrate Lu again. I didn't expect that he was really capable of catching this guy.

"Ahem... Lord Song, you're joking. I'm here on Lord Wang's orders to deliver something to you!"

"Oh?" Song Jinshu was surprised. This Lord Wang should be the county magistrate of Guangrao County.

She had no friendship with Lord Wang, and she didn't believe that Shi Zhubu would be so kind as to ask someone to send her supplies.

Shi Zhubu signaled his attendants to bring the things closer.

When Song Jinshu saw the two carts of grain, his mouth opened in shock.

"What does Lord Wang mean?"

Sending her food for no reason?

Song Jinshu looked at Shi Zhubu warily. Could it be that the original owner had a relationship with that person in the past?

Otherwise it would be really hard to explain who would send her food at such a critical moment.

Looking at Song Jinshu's greedy eyes, Shi Zhubu felt disdainful in his heart. He was still as stupid as ever.

Now you don’t even know you’ve been sold!

"Sir Song, these are donated to you free of charge by our county lord Wang. You can use them as you wish."

"As the saying goes, no reward without merit. I wonder why Lord Wang sent us food?"

Is it because he is too rich and feels that he has too much money to spend, so he comes to show his love to her?

Master Shi, mindful of Wang Zhizhang's instructions upon arrival, explained with a smile, "Lord Wang heard that Lord Song had volunteered to come to Dafang County to address the epidemic, and he admired your noble character of loving the people like his own children... So he asked me to send two carts of grain to help Lord Song..."

It has to be said that Shi Zhubu is very good at flattering people. After listening to his praise, Song Jinshu straightened his back a little.

It seemed as if she came to Dafang County not because she was forced, but because she was a good official who could not bear to see the people suffer.

Song Jinshu smiled broadly, innocently. "Hehe! Actually, I'm not as good as your Lord Wang says! But... he's right about one thing. I just can't bear to see the suffering of the people, so..."

"I just hope the people of Dafang County can recover their health soon and return to normal life!"

"Master Shi thanks your Lord Wang for the food. The people of Dafang County will remember this kindness. If Lord Wang needs it in the future, I believe they will be willing to help Guangrao County..."

Shi Zhubu didn't take Song Jinshu's words seriously at all. How could Lord Wang take such a mismatched creature seriously?

"I will convey Sir Song's words. If Sir Song has nothing else to do, I will return!"

Shi Zhubu was about to leave. He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

However, from the moment he set foot in Dafang County, he was destined to stay.

"Now that you're here, Master Shi, you can't leave."
