Auntie, have there been any special people or things happening in recent days?

No! We poor people don't have any money, let alone anything worth giving, so we haven't seen any special people or things. But little girl, you can ask other people to see if they have seen anything...

Okay, thank you, ma’am.

I walked down a few streets and in different directions of the town and saw that many people were in the same situation.

The group returned to the inn with heavy hearts.

Siyu, Master, and Senior Brother, what do you think? Is it an epidemic?

"This doesn't look like any epidemic I've seen before. Previous epidemics always had signs, but this one is so sudden, and all of a sudden, the whole town is experiencing the same symptoms. It's so unusual." Fifth Brother raised his hand and stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Siyu raised her hand and shook it, Senior Brother, Senior Brother.

Ah! Oh! What's wrong, Junior Sister?

Fifth Brother, what are you thinking about?

I didn't think anything.

"Oh, Senior Brother, you're a master of poison. Do you notice anything wrong with them?" Fifth Senior Brother narrowed his eyes and said in an inscrutable manner, "I'm also a master of poison. But this isn't poison! It doesn't look like it, but it's not poison! It must have erupted all at once through some means."

Several people sat together with worried faces, wondering what kind of way would cause such an explosion?

Fortunately, the county magistrate sent doctors from the clinic to control the situation immediately.

Bang, bang, bang. The knocks on the door rang out continuously at the doors of each room.

Who is it? Why are you knocking so early in the morning?

Dear guests and bosses, I apologize for asking you to rest. The shopkeeper asked me to inform you. The county magistrate issued a city lockdown order this morning. Many soldiers have arrived outside the city, allowing only entry but not exit. All the city gates have been sealed.

The county magistrate's doctors have been giving medicine to the city residents since yesterday. Not only have their symptoms not improved, but some of them have become weak, foamed at the mouth, and even died after taking the medicine.

When the people heard the waiter's words, they cried out in excitement, "Oh, what should we do? This is so unjust. They won't let us live..."

At this time, some people were crying, some were complaining, and some were blaming.

Well, I don’t want to die yet.

Oh my God! Is there any hope for life? What should I do?

Oh my god! I've lived frugally for half my life, and now I finally get out for a stroll, and this happens.

My whole family gave me their home so I could start a business, but ugh, ugh! And now everything is going to be lost here...

Everyone was talking at once, like thousands of ducks quacking, all of which reflected the panic and fear among the people...

Siyu also asked the waiter anxiously, when did it happen? Didn’t the doctor say what caused it?

The waiter also said with a sad face, "We don't know what's going on now. The doctors are still looking for the cause and don't know what caused it."

Is there anyone infected here? Siyu asked on behalf of all the residents.

Waiter, we don't have the situation here yet. It's only serious among the civilians and poor people.

The better-off and the wealthy were just beginning to show signs of infection, while the wealthy areas hadn't yet.

Siyu turned to look at her master, then at her two senior brothers and two younger sisters. She murmured, slightly puzzled, "Why are only the common people and the poor so severely affected? Those from better-off families only experience mild symptoms. And the wealthy areas show no symptoms at all. Why is this happening? What could it be?" Siyu paced back and forth, wondering.

At this time, the cabinet keeper came over and called to the waiter standing in front of Siyu, "Shuanzi asked you to fetch water, where did you go?" The clean old Li was still waiting for the water to make breakfast.

"Hey, I'm coming! I'm coming! Don't worry, boss, I'll be right there." The waiter turned around and told the guests not to run around, lest they get infected. And don't even think about leaving town, because the soldiers outside are pointing swords at the city gates. Anyone who dares to leave will be shot dead, no matter who they are. "Okay, I'm going to get some water first!"

The master and his disciples all looked solemn. As soon as they heard about the suspected epidemic, the county magistrate had already sent people to control the flow of people and asked doctors to diagnose and treat them. So how did the soldiers know about it? And how did they arrive so quickly?

Even the nearest officers and soldiers needed to be transferred, unless they had known about the suspected plague outbreak in Qingxia Town long ago. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why they came so quickly. Before the investigation was complete, they had already arrived to seal off the city gates. Unless they had a conspiracy...

Siyu, Master, since we are all studying medicine, why don’t we go together to help save people!

By the way, send someone to check and see if there are any differences or suspicious people. We can't just sit there and wait for death.

Baizhi, go to the county government office and tell the magistrate that the princess wants to see him and ask him to come and see the princess as soon as possible.

Yes, Bai Zhi hurried to the county government office.

Who are you? This is a restricted area for the county government. Go, go, go, go. Where did you come from, little girl? This is not the place for you.

Bai Zhi said angrily, you, you, who said that little girls can't come to the yamen.

Hey, I'm saying, "How can you be so cruel, yamen runner? The yamen is a place where people can seek justice and redress grievances. Why are you not letting me in?"

Seeing that the little girl was still unconvinced, the yamen runner also got angry and said, "Hey, little girl, the city has been closed recently and people are not allowed to move around freely. Why don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Bai Zhi: Who are you looking down on? She angrily took out the Changning Princess token. "Open your eyes wide and see! Changning Princess wants to see the County Magistrate. Go and tell the County Magistrate to go to the Yuelai Restaurant to see Changning Princess."

What, Princess Changning, when did you come to Qingxia Town?

The county magistrate received a summons from the county lord. He dropped what he was doing and went to see the county lord.

The county magistrate hurried all the way to the Yuelai Restaurant where the princess and her entourage were staying.

Your humble servant, Hao Chengren, the magistrate of Qingxia Town, was unaware of the arrival of Princess Changning. What are your wishes, Princess?

Siyu asked, "Master Hao, I have also heard about the situation in the town. I wonder if the doctors have come up with a solution."

"Master Hao, in reply to the princess, there is no solution at the moment. We don't even have a way to control it. We still don't know what caused it. The initial diagnosis is plague, but the root cause has not been found. The doctors are still searching for the cause."

Siyu said thoughtfully, "Master, please come here with us. This princess knows some medical skills and can work with the doctors in town to overcome this difficulty and find out the cause of the disease and the treatment method. We also need the support of the county magistrate."

When Lord Hao heard that the princess knew medicine and was willing to help, he was extremely happy. At this time, having another doctor would be more strength.

Lord Hao no longer cared about the fact that Princess Changning was still a child. As long as he could find a way to save the people, he would do anything. The most important thing was that he was anxious right now.
