My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Looking at his expression, Rui Bingtian realized that his performance today was different from usual.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "What's with that expression?"

Grandpa Xu coughed lightly and said, "I thought you... I didn't expect you to be so worried about the adults."

Rui Bingtian said, "I'm not worried about him, I'm thinking about these patients. If something happens to her, who will take care of these patients?"

Grandpa Xu didn't expose him, but said, "After receiving the news, the lord immediately set off with his men. If you go now, I don't know if you can still catch up."

"No suspected cases of the epidemic have been found in the city for the time being. You can ask other doctors."

After Rui Bingtian finished speaking, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Grandpa Xu, turned around and was about to leave. Grandpa Xu quickly instructed his driver to take Rui Bingtian to Guangping County.

On the other side, Lu Yinheng also rushed over to meet Ji Yunshuang after learning the news.

She thought of what Ji Yunshuang had said to her a few days ago; she had been talking about the plague.

In addition, there was a series of measures she later introduced.

He assumed she knew about the plague that had occurred in Ningxing Prefecture in her previous life, which was why she was taking extra precautions this time.

Ji Yunshuang's measures to prevent the plague are very comprehensive, so Ningxing Prefecture should not experience a plague in this lifetime.

But unexpectedly, it still happened.

Moreover, the time seems to be earlier than in my previous life.

Lu Yinheng frowned as he looked at Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang was also looking at him at this moment. She had wanted to ask him about the plague that occurred in Ningxing Prefecture in her previous life.

However, he was clearly still wary of them, and although they controlled the troops of several garrisons, the civil officials of Ningxing Prefecture did not recognize their authority.

They were both too busy to have a proper conversation, and she didn't get a chance to talk to him in detail.

But this conversation can't be delayed any longer.

However, both of them were in a hurry and were riding horses, accompanied by many soldiers, making the occasion unsuitable for conversation.

Moreover, a riot broke out in Guangping County, and they had to get there as soon as possible.

Ji Yunshuang suppressed her thoughts for the moment, took a mask and a pair of gloves from the bag, and handed them to Lu Yinheng, saying, "Put these on."

These masks and gloves were made by her in her spatial dimension when she suspected that the Heart-Eating Worm was a mutated insect; they were specifically designed to protect against mutated insects.

From the outside, gloves and masks look like they're made of ordinary cloth, but in reality, both have undergone special treatment to prevent insects from entering the body through contact.

Although she couldn't be sure if this was a plague, she had to be cautious now that she had a suspicion.

When Lu Yinheng arrived, he noticed that Ji Yunshuang and the soldiers accompanying her all had something strange on their faces.

He took the mask and gloves with some doubt, looked at them in his hands, and then fumbled to put them on.

The two didn't exchange many words after that. They rode their horses together towards Guangping County.

Upon arriving in Guangping County, I saw a large number of villagers gathered together, their cries, pleas, and angry shouts all blending together.

"Make way, don't gather together."

Wei Shen shouted, "Our magistrate is here. He will resolve any grievances you may have. Please don't get agitated."

Upon hearing that the government officials had arrived, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

After a moment of silence, a disheveled woman rushed towards Ji Yunshuang and the others, kneeling on the ground and pleading, "My lord, save us! Someone is trying to kill us and rob us of our houses and property."

“It’s clearly your mother who is unclean, bringing back a dirty disease that has harmed the whole village, and yet you still dare to cry foul.”

At this moment, a tall and burly man stepped forward and shouted, "If you don't leave, our whole village will die. We're just trying to survive."

“It is clearly you who want to seize our land and houses and deliberately oppress us.”

After my parents fell ill, we stayed at home and didn't go out. What does it have to do with us if other people get sick?

"You brought your men to our house without any explanation, killed my brother, and now you want to drive us all out of the village."

The woman cried and kowtowed to Ji Yunshuang and the others, saying, "Please, Your Honor, do justice for us and give us a fair chance."

The man spat and cursed, "You're talking nonsense! Your brother clearly died of illness, don't try to pin it on me."

"You're the one who killed him! My brother wasn't sick at all, please, sir, do me justice!" the woman said, kowtowing repeatedly to the ground. In just a few moments, her head was covered in blood.

Wei Shenyi said sternly, "Miss, please don't kowtow yet."

"When we adults arrive, we will investigate the matter thoroughly. If anyone is attempting to murder for money, we will not tolerate it."

After speaking, he looked at Ji Yunshuang, wanting to see her next instructions.

After arriving at the scene, Ji Yunshuang did not speak, but instead carefully observed the symptoms on people's bodies.

There were probably over a hundred people gathered at the scene, some holding sticks, their faces flushed. Some were kneeling weakly on the ground…

In the eyes of the villagers, those who were kneeling on the ground and looked like they had difficulty even walking were the ones who were sick.

However, according to Ji Yunshuang's observation, many of the people who carried sticks and drove away the people also contracted the disease.

It's just that the symptoms might be mild, or perhaps they're afraid of being driven away, so they conceal their true physical condition.

Regardless of whether it is an insect plague or not, concealing one's true physical condition is the most detrimental thing to disease prevention.

However, looking at the woman crying and pleading on the ground, and the villagers on the other side who were acting aggressively, it was clear that this was no longer just a simple epidemic.

Ji Yunshuang walked up to the woman and asked, "Where is your brother? May I examine his body first to see if he died of illness or was beaten to death? It will be clear once the examination is completed."

When Ji Yunshuang asked about her younger brother's body, the woman burst into tears, almost unable to control herself. "My brother was beaten to death by them and dumped in the mass grave behind the village. My brother was only five years old. He was so young, so well-behaved and sensible, and they just beat him to death..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunshuang frowned immediately. If the disease had spread, the corpses must be handled properly, otherwise the disease would spread more easily…

"Where is the mass grave?" Wei Shen said, "I'll take some men to find it."

Villagers immediately led the way for Wei Shen, while Lu Yinheng also called for men to subdue the man who had been shouting so loudly.

The man was shouting and yelling, asking why he was being arrested.

Lu Yinheng said coldly, "This is the normal order of the trial. If you cause any more trouble, you'll get fifty lashes first."

The man was terrified and dared not cause any more trouble.

Like the man, the villagers who felt they were in the right also fell silent.

Ji Yunshuang took out the tools she had prepared beforehand and examined the patient to determine what the illness was.

At the same time, they began asking the villagers what they had been in contact with in recent days.

Just then, Rui Bingtian rushed over.
