"Don't worry, Lord City Lord, I am clean and have no fear of Chu Yushi's investigation."
The woman in white robe said confidently.
"That's good."
"Girl, drink tea."
"The Lord of the City also invites you."
Afterwards, the two of them were silent and drank tea separately.
Although Tang Hong was curious about what the white-robed woman looked like under her broad hat, he didn't ask too much. After all, everyone had their own reasons for dressing up like this.
After a while.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a faint scent of medicine entering the front hall.
Immediately afterwards, the butler came in with a pot of concoction, "Sir, the medicinal materials have been brewed into concoction."
"Okay, then let's go to a place where people infected with the plague are kept."
Tang Hong stood up quickly, and then the woman in white robe also stood up.
Next, Tang Hong, the housekeeper, and the woman in white robe got into a carriage, and then sped away somewhere in the upper city.
On the street that was originally full of vendors, there was no one at all. The carriage carrying Tang Hong and others was galloping on the road, and soon they arrived in front of a house.
There were two officers and soldiers standing outside the house, their faces covered with thick veils, and in the house behind them, a foul smell would waft out from time to time. When they smelled the foul smell, There will be a look of fear in the eyes.
In fact, it's not their fault. They are already the fifth wave of officers and soldiers standing guard here. The previous four waves of officers and soldiers standing guard have all been infected and died of the plague. They don't know when they will be infected and die of the plague.
As for escaping?
It's not that they didn't expect that the whole family was in the city. If they ran away, they would be a drag on the family, so they could only think about running away.
After a while, Tang Hong, the housekeeper, and the woman in white robe dismounted their horses one after another, and then slowly came to the front of the house.
"Stop the visitors. Don't you know that there are people in this house who are seriously infected with the plague?"
Because Tang Hong, his housekeeper, and the woman in white robes all wore bamboo hats, the officers and soldiers guarding the house did not recognize their identities at all.
"I am the Lord of Shangcheng City, Tang Hong."
Tang Hong said in a deep voice across the bamboo hat.
Then the steward immediately took out a city lord's token.
"It turns out to be the City Lord. We are rude."
The two officers and soldiers bent down quickly, with respectful expressions in their eyes.
"Lord City Lord, the people in this mansion are all very seriously infected with the plague. Please stay away."
The officer and soldier on the left was a little clever and quickly spoke to persuade.
"We came across a recipe and wanted to see if it could cure the plague they were infected with."
"You guys should step back first."
Tang Hong said slowly.
"Ah? So that's it."
The two officers and soldiers quickly stepped aside.
If there really was a way to deal with the plague, then they wouldn't have to guard here in fear every day.
"Lord City Lord, please be more careful. Last time a doctor went in and was accidentally infected with the plague."
The officer and soldier on the left reminded him.
Although he knew that he and Tang Hong could not have any intersection, and Tang Hong could not promote him because of his few words, he was still happy to do so.
"Um."
Tang Hong nodded and glanced at the officer and soldier a few more times, but it was just a few more glances.
Next, Tang Hong and his party entered the house.
As soon as he entered the house, a stench hit him, which made Tang Hong's stomach churn a little, and he almost vomited out his overnight meal.
"Sir, let's go to the room on the far left."
"The patients there are considered to be mildly infected among those who are more seriously infected by the plague."
"If we go elsewhere, I'm afraid we'll get infected too."
The butler was wearing a bamboo hat and could not see his expression clearly, but he could hear the fear in his words.
After all, you only have one life, and everyone cherishes it.
"good."
With the housekeeper in front, Tang Hong and the white-robed woman behind, the three of them quickly arrived at the room on the far left.
With a creaking sound, the housekeeper opened the door. When he first opened the door, the stench hit his nostrils, but Tang Hong and the others had already adapted to it, so there was no nausea this time.
In the room, there are figures whose waists are tightly bound by chains. These people have disheveled hair, some tattered clothes, some lethargy, and green and black spots on their faces.
When the door was opened, they immediately opened their eyes and shouted: "Let me out, let me out..."
When Tang Hong saw this scene, there was a trace of unbearable expression on his face.
These are the people in the upper city, the people under his command. Seeing the people imprisoned in this room, he was very touched.
But no matter how hard you touch them, you can't release them. Once they get out, more people will be infected.
For the sake of the remaining people in the city, Tang Hong had to imprison them here.
"Stop howling."
"Here is a bowl of concoction, which may be able to cure the plague on you."
The steward stepped forward and shouted something "vicious" on purpose, asking the people infected with the plague to be quiet for a while.
Then he took out several small bowls and poured the concoction into the large pot one after another.
At this time, the people infected with the plague were also staring expectantly at the concoction in the small bowl.
In the past few days, people would bring concoctions, but none of those concoctions could cure the plague on them.
But even so, they did not give up any hope of survival.
When the last small bowl was filled with concoction, the butler pushed the small bowls in front of him forward, and these small bowls accurately landed in front of each person infected with the plague.
These people who were infected with the plague quickly picked up the bowl and poured the concoction into their mouths.
The concoctions they drank before were all very bitter, but the bowl of concoction just now had a sweet taste. They were a little skeptical whether it was the concoction?
On the side, Tang Hong looked nervously at these people infected with the plague, wearing a bamboo hat.
His future lies in this bowl of concoction. If he can solve the plague before the imperial court sends people down, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement.
As time passed slowly, Tang Hong found that the blue and black spots on the faces of these patients began to slowly fade away.
"Butler, the spots on their faces are starting to fade. It seems to be really working."
Tang Hong's face showed a hint of excitement.
"Congratulations, sir. It seems that the prescription presented by this girl is really effective against the plague."
The butler quickly congratulated.
"We'll wait and see if it relapses."
Tang Hong calmed down quickly.
Although he is not a medical practitioner, he also knows that although some prescriptions can suppress the disease, they can only suppress it temporarily. After a certain period of time, relapse will occur.
This kind of recurrence time can be long or short, as short as a quarter of an hour, or as long as a day at most.
In other words, Tang Hong and the others have to wait here for a day to know whether the prescription presented by the woman in white robe is of any use.
On the other side, the patients infected with the plague in the room suddenly became happy when they saw the black and blue spots on their bodies gradually receding.
