Qi Jin was not just injured. In the second half of the night, her whole body was hot. When Ye Zhen felt her pulse, she was really shocked. This pulse was too similar to that of the little boy. Could it be that Doctor Qi was infected when he went to their village to see a doctor?
"Master, Doctor Qi's illness is exactly the same as the influenza mentioned in the Qi Medical Records." Ye Zhen whispered.
There was a medical record in the Qi Family's Medical Classic that was about influenza. It was a plague that Qi Yanling had encountered many years ago. According to the medical record, it was a type of typhoid. Not only was it highly contagious, but it also spread very quickly. Contact between people or contact with contaminated objects could spread the virus to other people. The symptoms were high fever, body aches, fatigue, and breathing difficulties.
Huang Fuchen nodded heavily, "The symptoms are the same."
"I went to the medicine warehouse, but there was no medicine that could cure this kind of typhoid. All the medicinal materials sent by the medical center were gone." Ye Zhen hurriedly said, "If we don't find a way to control the spread of this disease, I'm afraid something more terrible will happen."
At that time, the most terrible thing would not be the dam bursting, but the plague!
Huang Fuchen said in a deep voice, "Be careful yourself. I'll go to the magistrate."
The magistrate of Huaijiang was surnamed Zheng. When he went to the dam to find his aunt, he did not see him. Later, he heard that Magistrate Zheng was afraid that the dam would burst and endanger himself, so he had already hidden in the city.
The medical office was near the magistrate's residence. Huang Fuchen soon came to the magistrate's door. However, the soldiers outside the door stopped him. When they heard that he wanted to see Magistrate Zheng, they immediately said that Magistrate Zheng was not in.
"If Magistrate Zheng is not here, where did he go?" Huang Fuchen asked coldly, "Now that Huaijiang City is suffering from a disaster, does he not come out to preside over the overall situation? Is he going to hide and not dare to see anyone?"
"Hey, who are you? How dare you teach a lesson to the magistrate?" Two soldiers pointed at Huang Fuchen and scolded, "Get out of here! Not everyone can come here!"
On the way back to the city after rescuing Doctor Qi, Huangfu Chen saw the mess everywhere. The government soldiers only cared about themselves and even shouted at those who entered the city to seek refuge. This scene had already made him angry. Now that he couldn't see the prefectural magistrate, how could he hold back the anger in his heart?
"Get lost!" Huang Fuchen said coldly. When the two soldiers were about to push him away, he had already sent them flying.
The door of the prefectural magistrate was kicked open by him. The loud bang startled everyone inside.
"Who! Who dares to break into the government? "An advisor dressed in straight robes walked out from the main hall.
Huang Fuchen looked at him coldly. "Where is Zheng Yuhua?"
"Who are you?" The advisor wasn't as blind as the two soldiers. When he saw someone like Huang Fuchen and heard him call the prefectural magistrate by name, he knew that Huang Fuchen wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Call Zheng Yulong out," Huangfu Chen said coldly.
The advisor wanted to curse out loud. Was the prefectural magistrate someone he could see whenever he wanted? However, he endured it. "Why do you want to see Master?"
"What do you think is important now?" Huang Fuchen asked indifferently, "The Huaijiang River burst its dike, and the Huaijiang City is in a water crisis. What is Zheng Yulong doing?"
"Then do you think I have to listen to you?" Zheng Yulong, who was hiding at the back, finally couldn't help but walk out and stare at Huang Fuchen angrily.
Huang Fuchen wasn't here to teach Zheng Yulong how to do things. "It doesn't matter whether you listen to me or not. However, the Huaijiang River burst its dike. If someone doesn't report it to the imperial court, it's someone else's business if it causes a disaster in the future. Zheng Yulong, let me ask you. Where are the medicinal herbs of the Huaijiang Medical Bureau? The imperial court sends at least hundreds of kilograms of medicinal herbs every year. Why didn't I see them in the medical bureau's warehouse? "
Zheng Yulong's expression changed drastically. "Who are you?"
"Several villages outside the city have been flooded, and two of them are suspected to be infected by typhoid plague. If you want to see all the people in the city die from the plague, then continue to hide the whereabouts of the medicinal herbs. Even if you aren't infected by the plague, you can only wait for the Emperor to chop off your head and confiscate your entire family!" Huang Fuchen said indifferently.
Zheng Yulong took a deep breath. "W-What did you say? Plague? How can there be a plague in the city? "
Huang Fuchen couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore. "I'll ask you again. Where are the medicinal herbs?"
"The medicinal herbs have nothing to do with me. There aren't many left after they were sent to Huaijiang," Zheng Yulong said in a panic. He remembered that Doctor Qi told him a few days ago that someone outside the city had a fever and there was a possibility that it was contagious. He didn't take it to heart at that time, but it seemed to be true now.
"Who is responsible for transporting the medicinal herbs to Huaijiang?" Huang Fuchen took a deep breath. There was actually someone who was worse than a beast. He even dared to embezzle medicinal herbs that were meant to save lives.
Zheng Yulong said, "It used to be Qiao Zebai. He was Prime Minister Ye's student. He was implicated by Prime Minister Ye and died. I'm not sure who is transporting the medicinal herbs now, but it should be related to Prime Minister Ye in the past. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to do this."
It wasn't that he didn't want to go against these people. In the past, they had Prime Minister Ye's support. No matter how many memorials he sent, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean. As time passed, he naturally became disheartened. However, he didn't expect Qiao Zebai's people to be so bold. After the new Emperor ascended to the throne and the Ye Family was exterminated, they still dared to embezzle medicinal herbs from the imperial court. Perhaps the flood silver wouldn't even be sent to Huaijiang.
"Every year, Huaijiang reports to the imperial court that there is a plague. Since there are no medicinal herbs to treat it, how do they stop the plague?" Huang Fuchen asked again. He didn't expect this matter to be related to Ye Yisong. It seemed that before Mo Rongzhan usurped the throne, the Jin Nation was completely under Ye Yisong's control. The officials in the imperial court must be very corrupt.
The advisor beside him immediately said, "There has never been a plague in Huaijiang. It's just that some people killed a few people on purpose and forced us to report it to the imperial court."
Huang Fuchen suppressed the raging anger in his heart. "It's related to Ye Yisong again?"
Zheng Yulong's face turned red. "Let's not talk about this for now. May I know your name? Is the plague true?"
"Huang Fuchen," Huang Fuchen said his name indifferently.
"…" Zheng Yulong and his advisor were both shocked. Huang Fuchen? Huang Fuchen?
Huang Fuchen frowned and asked, "There aren't enough medicinal herbs in the medical department's storehouse. Do you have a way to send medicine from other places?"
Zheng Yulong said, "I've already sent an urgent letter to the imperial court. Distant water can't put out a nearby fire. I just hope that the medicine in the medicine stores in the city won't be damaged by the flood."
"Then borrow medicine from them in the name of the imperial court!" Huang Fuchen said immediately.
"I'll listen to Mr. Huang Fuchen," Zheng Yulong replied. He didn't doubt Huang Fuchen's ability to represent the imperial court, but he felt that it was always right to listen to Huang Fuchen.
Huang Fuchen told him a few more things before leaving the government and returning to the medical department.
