Lin Qingwan and Xuan Ye quickly came to the gate of the government office. Lin Qingwan walked straight to the drum next to the gate, grabbed a stick and started beating it. After a while, a guard opened the gate, poked his head out, and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, what do you want to report to the master?"
Lin Qingwan didn't waste any words and took out the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to the guard: "Go tell the master that Princess Yunling wants to see him! Tell him to come and see her as soon as possible."
When the guard heard that it was the princess, he took the jade pendant and did not dare to delay. He quickly went into the mansion to report. Lin Qingwan, Xuan Ye and Li Dabing were waiting at the gate.
"I never thought that Princess Yunling, conferred by the Emperor, would be useful one day!" Lin Qingwan sighed in her heart.
After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a green official uniform, with regular features and clear outlines, giving people a solemn and steady feeling. He was about forty years old, and came to Lin Qingwan with a sad face. He leaned slightly and said, "Your subordinate Shen Xiu greets Princess Yunling! Please sit in the Princess's mansion." After saying that, he stepped aside and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation. Lin Qingwan was not hypocritical and walked to the front by herself. Xuan Ye and Li Dadan followed behind her, looking around at every flower and tree in the mansion.
Entering the inner hall, Lin Qingwan sat on the stool by herself. Shen Xiu ordered the servants to prepare tea, and then sat down. He didn't understand why the princess would come to such a remote place to see him. Moreover, he had never heard of Princess Yunling, but the jade pendant was real, and he had seen it. Seeing such a delicate girl in front of him, without any profound power, she must be a rich lady, right? However, the guards behind her had profound profound power, and their strength could not be detected. After observing the two for a while, the prefectural governor guessed that they should ask him for help.
"Excuse me, Princess. If you have any instructions for me, I will do my best to satisfy you." Shen Xiu's attitude was sincere and not flattering, which made Lin Qingwan feel a little good about him. He was a good person.
"I came here because I have something to ask the prefect!" Lin Qingwan went straight to the point.
"Princess, please ask, I will tell you everything I know!" Shen Xiu put down the teacup and looked at Lin Qingwan.
"Brother Li, come and tell the prefect." Lin Qingwan said to Li Dadan.
"Okay, Miss Lin!" Li Dabing was not a coward as a hunter, and his character was even a bit bold and rough. So he told her everything about his experience and the situation of the village.
Shen Xiu was quite shocked when he heard this. He only thought that the beggars came from outside the city and didn't know how many people they had bitten, so he ordered to close the city gates early and increase patrols in the city. Even the guards around him were arranged to go out on patrol. This was also the reason why there was no guard outside the yamen when Lin Qingwan came. However, he did not expect that the situation outside the city was more serious than he imagined!
Shen Xiu stood up unconsciously in shock, and slapped the table with his right hand. Annoyance filled his heart, and when he thought about his son, he felt powerless. Even now, he had visited many famous doctors, but he still didn't know what was going on with them. And now, even the nearby villagers had suffered this disaster. As a parent official, he was really derelict in his duty.
Shen Xiu adjusted his emotions, then turned around, looked at Li Dabing and said, "Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter!"
Just as Li Dabing was about to kneel down and thank the prefect, he was grabbed by the prefect, patted on the shoulder, and walked back and forth without saying a word, as if thinking about what to do!
"Sir Shen, I can cure your son's illness! I need to see the specific situation!" Lin Qingwan's cold voice was like a savior, giving Shen Xiu's dying heart hope again.
He walked quickly to Lin Qingwan and looked into her eyes: "Really! Can the princess really cure my son's illness?" As if he was afraid that Lin Qingwan would regret it, he said anxiously: "If the princess can cure my son's illness and the villagers' illness, I, Shen Xiu, am willing to go through fire and water for the princess, and I will write to the emperor to reward the princess!" Shen Xiu expressed his determination and looked at Lin Qingwan hopefully.
"I need to check on your son first!"
"Princess, please follow me!" Shen Xiu said without hesitation and quickly took Lin Qingwan to the backyard.
In a room in the backyard, the windows were covered with thick paper to block the sunlight, and two guards stood at the door. When Lin Qingwan pushed open the door, a beam of light shone into the dark room. It was extremely dark here, without any light at all. As the door was opened, Lin Qingwan could see clearly that a boy of seven or eight years old was chained to the head of the bed. The boy's face was pale, and the purple lines on his neck were clearly visible. When he saw the sunlight coming in, he hid in the quilt in fear. He kept humming in his mouth, as if he was very uncomfortable.
"He has become like this since he was bitten. He is afraid of the sunlight. He is fine during the day, but at night, he is like a madman, grabbing people everywhere with great strength. I had no choice but to lock him up. I also took him to see many doctors, but none of them could diagnose the cause of the disease. I even consulted a Taoist priest, but it was useless." Shen Xiu felt heartbroken when he saw his once well-behaved and sensible son become like this.
Lin Qingwan said nothing, walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and tapped him twice with her fingers, and he fainted. Lin Qingwan laid him flat, and put her fingers on his wrist. After a while, she removed her fingers, then looked into his eyes and listened to his heart. Then she knew everything.
"Sure enough, it's the poison again." Lin Qingwan confirmed her guess this time.
"Poison? How could there be a poison master in my Dongao territory who would do such a thing?" Shen Xiu believed Lin Qingwan's words. Yes, what disease has been difficult to determine the cause, and it is so strange. He has only heard of it in rumors? ! But this time, he encountered it, and he was still very angry.
"It is said that only Gu Masters are found in the southern border, and they are very rare. They have a rule that they cannot cast Gu on ordinary people, otherwise they will be expelled from the sect and hunted down by the Gu Master sect. Ordinary Gu Masters will not easily attack ordinary people. Moreover, they have put a lot of effort into cultivating Gu worms. It is rare to plant Gu on a large area of people like this!" Shen Xiu said the news he had read in a book. However, he only knew the general situation, and he did not know the details.
"May I ask Princess Yunling, do you know what kind of poison has infected my son? Is there any cure?" Shen Xiu said what he wanted to know most. If his son could be cured, then the villagers who were infected with the same poison should also be able to be cured.
