Jiang Yao finally decided to go with Ji Huaiye to see Mo Hui.
Mo Hui had already changed his clothes, but instead of washing the clothes, he burned them directly.
Obviously, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
When Jiang Yao gave him the mask, Mo Hui put it on automatically.
"Sir, that pox..."
"The contagion is higher than we thought. Mo Hui, have you been in contact with those patients?"
Mo Huihui's face turned pale as he thought about it: "There was a child who had acne. I took him to the hospital. After that, I washed my hands and changed my clothes..."
As Mo Hui spoke, he couldn't help but retreat a little distance, further away from Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye.
The faces of Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye also became very ugly.
Jiang Yao looked at Ji Huaiye. He always had a cold face. Ordinary people could not see the change in his expression. He looked cold and ruthless. Jiang Yao understood him and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed. Obviously, he was worried about Mo Hui.
"Mo Hui, how widespread is this pox?"
"There are several connected villages in the north..." Mo recalled the circumstances of this investigation and his heart became heavy.
In the northernmost village, many people there were infected with pox, and their bodies were covered in pus and pox, which was miserable.
The only doctor has died, and those people have no medical treatment or medicine to take, so they can only wait to die.
There are children who have lost their parents everywhere, parents who have lost their children, and in some homes, there is no one alive...
Horrible.
Several surrounding villages have spread, but the situation is slightly better and it has not completely spread.
"Who was the first to get this disease?"
"He was a foreigner. He came from the direction of the capital and asked for help from the people in the village. The people kindly rescued him and found that he had strange acne on his body. Not long after, the same acne appeared on the villager..."
Jiang Yao frowned, this was a bit strange.
This pox disease came from other places, but there is no news of its spread in other places. Instead, it is Lushui County...
It's like someone deliberately poisoned it.
Ji Huaiye took out a map and marked all the places where the pox spread.
Ji Huaiye looked at those spots. The disease had spread very widely. The only good thing was that the outermost villages were far away from other places and had not spread to more places.
Ji Huaiye quickly made a decision. First of all, the people here should not be allowed to go to other places to prevent it from spreading to more places.
Where there are illnesses, we cannot let them die on their own. We must find doctors and medicine to treat them.
Ji Huaiye expressed his thoughts.
"I am the parent official of Lushui County, and I will never ignore the people of Lushui County."
Jiang Yao looked at his appearance and felt that he was particularly handsome at this time.
They say that the villain is ruthless, but in fact this is not the case. He has a clear sense of good and evil and a sense of responsibility.
There are few such people in the world.
Ji Huaiye was a resolute person, so he made arrangements quickly.
He had compiled a lot of songs before, and he just needed them now.
They need to guard each entrance to prevent people from those villages from entering other places.
He had strict requirements for his followers, and they were not allowed to come into contact with anyone suspected of having pox.
As for the doctor.
Ji Huaiye did not use forced methods.
But under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
Which doctor is willing to go will be rewarded heavily.
If something happens, certain compensation will be given.
Under such a generous reward, many doctors came to sign up.
Jiang Yao was not idle either, but went to buy a lot of medicine.
At this time, there is still a pharmacy that is driving up the price of medicines to make unethical money.
When Jiang Yao took a look, her boss looked familiar. Isn't it her second uncle?
Before, something like that happened, she thought her second uncle would no longer be able to survive in Lushui County.
I didn't expect that people were still there.
When Jiang Laoer saw Jiang Yao, he immediately put on a sly expression.
"Hey, this isn't Yaoyao, here to buy some medicine. Do you want this medicine? My second uncle will give you a cheaper price..." Jiang Laoer looked attentive.
"Second uncle, how much does this medicine cost you?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Here, one tael of silver is two cents. You can make it cheaper. One tael of silver is four cents." Jiang Laoer said generously.
Jiang Yao almost laughed angrily. Normally, one tael of silver could buy one tael of this medicine. Jiang Laoer was like a lion.
"Second Uncle, if you are driving up the price of medicines, if I sue the county magistrate..."
"Yao Yao, there is no law in our court that stipulates that we cannot raise the price of medicine, right? It is not easy for farmers to collect medicine..." Jiang Laoer pretended.
Jiang Yao looked at Jiang Lao Er expressionlessly, but she didn't expect that he was still prepared.
He actually knew about my imperial decree.
Moreover, he stored a lot of medicinal materials.
When Jiang Yao asked, the work in the store was very arrogant, and they said they could get as much as they wanted.
Jiang Yao felt there was something fishy in it.
Ji Huaiye recruited doctors in the past two days.
She also needs to buy medicine temporarily.
Jiang Laoer, as if he guessed that someone wanted to buy this medicinal material, purchased a lot in advance, and then raised the price of the medicine.
Jiang Yao felt that it was impossible for Jiang Laoer to know, there must be someone behind him.
Combined with what Mo Hui said, the disease was transmitted from other places, as if someone did it on purpose...
The person behind Jiang Laoer is probably closely related to the person who deliberately spread smallpox.
"Yao Yao, it's for your sake that Second Uncle will give you a cheaper one. If you don't want it, forget it. Second Uncle will sell it to someone else." Jiang Laoer said deliberately, as if he was sure there would be others.
People usually come to buy.
Jiang Yao sneered: "Then second uncle, let's keep it and sell it to others."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, she turned around and left. Jiang Lao Er was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yao turned around and immediately went to the county government office to tell Ji Huaiye all the troubles involved and her suspicions.
Ji Huaiye immediately called the Yamen servants to arrest Jiang Laoer.
Jiang Laoer was imprisoned in the county jail.
Soon news came that a group of robbers broke into the warehouse of Jiang Laoer Pharmacy and stole all the needed medicines.
When Jiang Yao heard this, she gave Ji Huaiye a meaningful look.
"Master Ji..." Jiang Yao said slowly.
Ji Huaiye's face was expressionless, but actually he looked a little innocent, looking at Jiang Yao with innocent eyes.
Jiang Yao suddenly felt that Ji Huaiye was really cute and bad at the same time.
When dealing with such a wicked person, you cannot reason with him.
Aren’t Jiang Laoer and the people behind him trying to drive up drug prices and make a fortune from it?
Ji Huaiye directly used more rogue methods to steal the opponent's medicinal materials, leaving the opponent unable to earn a penny.
The opponent's attempt to draw water from a bamboo basket was in vain, and all the work was in vain.
Make him mad!
Soon, all the medicine was collected.
Doctors, carrying medicinal materials, went to villages where pox was spreading.
Jiang Yao just breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that those desperate people finally had hope of life.
