A chill flashed in Bai Zhaoyi's eyes, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"I, the County Lord, will ask you again, where are the imperial doctors sent by His Majesty and the doctors from Jishi Hall?"

"Are you bothered or not? I've told you... County, County Lord? Are you the Lord of Jing'an County? Civilian Zhang Qi went to see the Lord of Jing'an County. I don't know how much I offended the County Lord just now. Please forgive me."

Zhang Qi put down the medicinal materials in his hand and knelt on the ground with some fear. He was so rude to Jing'an County Lord just now and now he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Going back to the County Lord, the imperial doctors you mentioned were probably assigned to the houses of various nobles for outpatient treatment. As for the doctors from Jishi Hall, I don't know."

Zhang Qi knelt on the ground and wanted to bury his head in the ground. He kept praying in his heart that the Lord of Jing'an County would not argue with him, a little doctor.

As for the doctors from Jishi Hall, how did he know where those people had gone? Even he himself was placed in this area by the adults above.

"Miss, are they in danger?" Sandalwood said worriedly.

Ever since I entered Yizhou, there has been a trace of weirdness everywhere. Ordinary people were so sick that no one cared about them, but these people who didn't seem to be seriously ill were treated in time.

The people in Jishitang only have the young lady as their master, and they do not belong to the imperial court or other high-ranking officials. Why can't they be seen at all at this time?

"Probably not. What Yizhou is short of most right now is doctors and food. They won't be so mad that they kill doctors who can save people's lives."

Bai Zhaoyi gradually calmed down and analyzed calmly, his fingers couldn't help but touch the phoenix jade bracelet on his wrist.

A conjecture slowly emerged in my mind. Did the people of Yizhou in the previous life really die in such a large number of people because of the intractable plague?

There are various signs today that the medical manpower in Yizhou is not as tight as the outside world describes, and some can be sent to the north of the city to treat the people.

Unless... someone deliberately monopolizes all the doctors in the city.

The ultimate goal is to receive a steady stream of supplies and assistance from the court just like in the previous life, but it goes into his own pocket.

Bai Zhaoyi couldn't help but be shocked by his guess. If this was really the case... then they were so brave!

These are thousands of human lives, and they dare to use them as a bargaining chip to make money.

"Miss, my subordinate has brought someone here." Mo Fan's voice came from behind, and he threw the man in his hand in front of Bai Zhaoyi.

"Song Lian, the magistrate of Yizhou, has met the Lord of Jing'an County. I don't know that the Lord of the County has come to visit me, but I am not welcoming you from afar. I hope the Lord of the County will forgive me."

Song Lian trembled and knelt on the ground, still not recovering from the fear just now.

The guard next to the county lord is simply too rude!He actually carried him and carried Qinggong all the way and flew over. His old bones almost ended up here.

"Song Lian, which word is Lian?" Bai Zhaoyi's cold expression did not dissipate as he looked down at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him.

"Back to the county boss, the word "Lian" in the lower official's name means Lian who is fair and honest." Song Lian was stunned for a moment and replied confused, not understanding why Bai Zhaoyi asked this.

Bai Zhaoyi's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and his eyes glanced sharply at the robes he was wearing.

Song Lian was wearing a gorgeous brocade suit. If Bai Zhaoyi remembered correctly, Song Lian's annual salary could not afford such a fine material.

Being fair and honest is really a travesty.

In the previous life, Yizhou was governed by such parents and officials. No wonder a flood killed [-]% of the people.

I just don’t know who the person above Song Lian is...

"The county chief was ordered to bring people to treat the people of Yizhou. I wonder where the imperial doctor and the doctor from Jishitang sent by the capital a few days ago are now?"

Bai Zhaoyi sat on a chair brought by Mo Fan, looking at him with a calm expression and speaking calmly without distinguishing between happiness and anger.

Song Lian's heart suddenly thumped. He knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at Bai Zhaoyi quietly. However, when the other party caught his eye, he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"This... the official... the official doesn't know."

"The county lord came to Yizhou on the order of the Holy Emperor. What crime should Master Song be guilty of deceiving the county lord?"

Bai Zhaoyi's eyebrows were slightly raised and his tone was a little lower, and a faint coercion was emitted invisibly.

"Sir Song, please think carefully. Our county master came along the way and got a general idea of ​​what's going on in Yizhou. Mr. Song, it's better not to toast or eat the fine wine." Tan Xiang stood aside and warned with a cold face.

Song Lian knelt and hesitated in his heart, but did not speak for a long time.

"Mo Fan, drag it down and find a place where no one is around to deal with it. Anyway, everyone in Yizhou is in danger now. If the prefect dies, no one will care."

After Bai Zhaoyi finished speaking, he stood up and walked away. It was obvious that he had exhausted his patience and did not want to say another word.

Mo Fan took the order and dragged Song Lian towards a remote place. Only then did Song Lian realize that the Lord of Jing'an County was not trying to scare him, but actually wanted his life.

Song Lian's body struggled wildly, his whole body twisted desperately, and the veins on his forehead popped out:

"County Lord, I said it, I said it, I said it all!"

The corners of Bai Zhaoyi's mouth raised slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and his body suddenly relaxed a little.

Fish, hooked.

"Mo Fan."

Mo Fan once again dragged Song Lian to kneel down in front of Bai Zhaoyi. Song Lian was scared out of his wits at this time, and his face was covered with tears and snot. How could he still have the noble look he had just now in his brocade clothes?

"This County Lord gives you one last chance. If you still don't tell the truth, you will never have to speak again in the future."

Bai Zhaoyi crouched down and the threat in his eyes was like a knife across Song Lian's neck, as if if he hesitated at all, blood would be splattered on the spot in the next second.

Song Lian looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with fear, and kept regretting in his heart why he had to provoke such a living king of hell just now.

"The imperial doctor is visiting the east of the city. As for those people in Jishi Hall..." Song Lian cautiously raised his head and glanced at the girl's expression, then lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"Those people from Jishitang were arrested by the government for gathering a crowd to cause trouble, and they are currently in prison."

If they had known that the Lord of Jing'an County would be ordered to come to Yizhou in person, they would not have put those unruly people in jail, and now they would have really shot themselves in the foot.

Bai Zhaoyi's brows were knitted tightly together. She did not expect that those people would be locked up.

"Did you tell me how they gathered to cause trouble?"

Bai Zhaoyi didn't believe that the doctors of Jishitang would be so disregardful of the overall situation. There must be something weird in this.

Song Lian scolded those who arrested the doctors in Jishi Hall in his heart, and he hesitated and replied with his head lowered:

"Those people were making a fuss and refused to stay in the east of the city to treat the injured. They had to go to the north of the city."
