Yan Ruoli came to the gate of the county government office and saw that the door was closed, so she stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, someone inside asked: "Who is knocking on the door?"

"I'm Doctor Yan," Yan Ruoli said, "Can you let me in and show the magistrate whether you are infected with the disease?"

The person inside replied: "Sir, you are not sick. You don't need to come in."

The Lord has given instructions that no one from outside is allowed to come in without his permission.

Yan Ruoli asked again: "Where are the other people in the Yamen? Is anyone feeling unwell?"

"No, no, you don't have to worry about it, just leave quickly." The people inside spoke in a hurry, as if they didn't even want to say another word to them.

Yan Ruoli said deliberately: "I am a doctor sent by Prince Ding'an to control the plague. I have to inspect every place in the city. I cannot let every source of pollution go. Please open the door and let us in."

The people inside were very angry: "How dare you say that the county government is a source of pollution?"

Their county government office is the best building in Changning County. How come it has become a garbage dump in her words?

Yan Ruoli said calmly: "I didn't mean that. This disease is everywhere, and I must ensure that no corner of Changning County is infected."

"Our place is not a corner. We are very nice here. Don't waste your time here. Go somewhere else." The person inside said in a very impatient tone.

Yan Ruoli raised her voice and said, "If other places are under control and only the county government is left with the epidemic, the epidemic may break out again. When the time comes, can you bear the responsibility?"

Seeing that she spoke sharply and had Prince Ding'an's handwriting in her hand, the people inside did not dare to make any decisions on their own, so they said, "Just wait, I will report to your lord and follow your orders."

"Okay, go ahead." Yan Ruoli waited patiently outside the door.

Before long, the people inside shouted: "My lord said, you don't need to come in. There is no disease in the county government office. If you come in, you may bring the disease in. You should leave quickly and stay away from the county government office."

His tone was very harsh, and Yan Ruoli guessed that he was most likely scolded by Qi Junyan when he went to report it just now.

"Can you guarantee that it's true?"

"No, just not."

The people inside had the support of the magistrate, and they spoke with great arrogance.

"You should leave quickly and don't stay in front of the county government office. If you don't leave, be careful that the master will get angry and arrest you and put you in jail."

Yan Ruoli raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay. It was you who drove us away. If anything happens to the county government, don't blame us for ignoring you."

"You don't need to worry about it, just leave quickly."

The people inside urged, as if they were afraid that Yan Ruoli and the others would bring the disease into the county government office if they stood outside the door for a while longer.

As you said just now, these doctors deal with patients all day long, and they are the ones most likely to get sick. They must not be allowed close.

If he hadn't been afraid of being infected by them if he opened the door, the people inside would have come out and forced them away.

What Yan Ruoli wanted was what they said. She didn't really want to treat Qi Junyan, a dog official.

She didn't say anything more, turned and left.

Yan Ruoli rested for a while at night, and early the next morning, she pretended to go to buy medicine, and drove a carriage to the outside of Changning County with Ye Weiyun.

The medicine she provided was equally effective for people in the city. Except for extremely critical patients and patients with underlying diseases who were too late to receive treatment and a small number of them died, the rest of the people improved significantly.

It's just that there are too many people in the city and few ladies. They keep running around all day long, but they still can't take care of them.

Yan Ruoli had no choice but to organize the clerks from various pharmacies and the doctors' apprentices, teach them the treatment methods, and let them help treat the patients together.

However, the manpower was still insufficient. Yan Ruoli was considering whether to select some smart people among ordinary people and let them participate in the treatment.

At this moment, a large group of people suddenly came outside the city, dragging a large amount of supplies and heading straight to Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun.

The person riding at the front looked familiar. Yan Ruoli took a closer look and found that he was actually Mo Xiang, a close aide of Prince Ding'an, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

Mo Xiang jumped off the horse and saluted them both with cupped fists.

"Little Marquis, young lady, the prince heard that you are short of manpower, so he urgently mobilized many doctors and asked me to bring them over to help you. These grains and bedding are for the relief of the people in the city. Do you need any medicinal materials here? I can do it. Report to the prince immediately."

Yan Ruoli was overjoyed.

"There is no shortage of medicinal materials. What we lack most is people. It's great that you are here."

She immediately taught these new doctors treatment methods and assigned them tasks.

These doctors were originally very frightened, thinking that they were dead this time, and they all said goodbye to their families before coming.

They had to come to Changning County because of the order of Prince Ding'an, and they all had the hope of death.

Unexpectedly, after arriving here, they found that the situation was completely different from what they imagined.

The miracle doctor Yan found the cause of the plague in a very short period of time and provided special medicines and protective equipment.

They didn't have to worry about dying. Happiness came so suddenly that it felt unreal to them.

The doctors cried with joy, accepted the task with great enthusiasm, and went to treat the patients happily.

From then on, the reputation of Divine Doctor Yan spread.

Later, after the epidemic in Changning County ended, these doctors returned to their original cities and spread the word about her deeds everywhere.

The people in Changning County were very grateful when they mentioned Miracle Doctor Yan, and they would not hesitate to deify her when telling others about her.

Soon thereafter, a storyteller compiled the story of the miracle doctor Yan into a book, which was spread throughout the Daxing Dynasty, and then gradually spread to other countries.

The legend became more and more outrageous, saying that she was a heavenly medical fairy who couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world and came down to the world to help mortals.

It is said that on the day she was born, five-colored auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and hundreds of birds gathered on the roof of her house and sang to the delivery room.

There are many miracles like this.

Of course, this is a story.

Now, Yan Ruoli has enough helpers to stabilize the situation in Changning County in just a few days.

Some patients with good health have completely returned to normal, while some patients with new illnesses are under the strict supervision of doctors, and it is only a matter of time before they are cured.

Because the disease is under control and food is sufficient, people are staying at home with peace of mind and waiting for the epidemic to end.

There are fewer and fewer new patients, and the battle against the plague is about to be won.

Unlike the outside world, inside the county government office, Qi Junyan felt an unbearable headache and his body was alternately cold and hot.

He suspected that he had typhoid fever.

Of course it was typhoid, not the plague. The county government was completely isolated from the outside world, so how could he possibly catch the disease?

He had been eating pickles for several days, and no one even went out to buy fresh vegetables or meat.

He was about to ask someone to find some medicine to treat typhoid fever in the house, but he saw his wife running over with the child in her arms, crying: "Master, it's not good, the child is infected with the disease."
