Chapter 134: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (42)
Zheng Hong didn't need to explain anything to King Rui, and there was no need for him to be so excited.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine." Shui Zhizi said and quietly stepped aside.
Zheng Hong looked at Shui Zhizi, who was still avoiding him as always, and could only remain silent.
Zheng Hong turned around and looked at the man who was wrapped up tightly and kneeling on the ground tremblingly and asked: "Who are you?"
"Your servant, Xiao Li, the governor of Yizhou, has met with..."
"The governor of Yizhou neglected his duty, concealed the epidemic, and put people in jail. We will hear the trial later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards following Zheng Hong dragged him away and blocked his mouth as he kept begging for mercy.
Shui Zhizi curled her lips. Wasn't it said that King of War Zheng Hong was the most shrewd and scheming? Did he really just take the person away in public without asking any questions?
"Xiao Wu told the others not to follow me anymore. Today, they should all obey the orders of County Magistrate Chen. I will talk to you tomorrow after I understand the situation."
"Yes."
Xiao Wu took all the people following Zheng Hong and left, and the common people who came to see the situation were also taken out.
For a moment, Shui Zhizi and Zheng Hong were the only two people left in the West Canteen.
After the patients were categorized, all treatments were concentrated in one place, and there were fewer people in the clinic.
Because County Magistrate Chen often discussed matters with Shui Zhizi in Jishidi Hall, Jishidi Hall temporarily became a place for meetings.
So both the governor and Zheng Hong rushed directly to Jishidiang.
"Your Majesty, this is the situation in Liujia Town these days. We have classified the patients into three categories: mild, moderate, and severe.
The daily changes in the number of people and symptoms are recorded, and the medicines used every day and their effects are also in the booklet, so His Majesty can know at a glance."
Zheng Hong said he wanted to understand the situation, and now there were only two of them here.
Shui Zhizi took out the things in her hand very tactfully.
Zheng Hong touched the heavy booklet in his hand and looked at Shui Zhizi's obviously lighter body. He once again felt distressed and admired.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"All the doctors recorded this together. I am not an expert in medicine and I am only responsible for patients with mild symptoms. I can't say that I have worked hard."
"If you hadn't discovered the problem in time and reported the news back to Kyoto, Liujia Town wouldn't know what would happen. You are the benefactor of the entire Liujia Town."
Shui Zhizi frowned, "So King Rui told others that it was me who discovered the problem in Liujia Town?"
Zheng Hong nodded and said, "After receiving your letter, Prince Rui immediately went to the palace to report to my father. My father was furious and summoned all officials to discuss the matter.
Some people thought the news was alarmist, so King Rui said that you saw it with your own eyes, you studied medicine and have extensive knowledge, so the news cannot be false. "
Shui Zhizi pinched herself tightly. She was once again in the spotlight. She didn't know how many people would hate her.
As long as it doesn't involve the Li family, Shui Zhizi will pay attention to it. Most of the time, Shui Zhizi is not a person who is very good at hiding her emotions.
So Zheng Hong could see Shui Zhizi's worry at a glance.
"You don't have to be afraid. You have made great contributions in this matter. Father will only reward you. The governor will definitely be held accountable. No one, whether he or the people behind him, can touch you."
Shui Zhizi looked at Zheng Hong with some confusion, wondering why he was so sure.
"This governor is the prince's man. The prince lost."
Zheng Hong said it very calmly. It took Shui Zhizi a long time to react. Zheng Hong seemed to mean that the prince had lost the fight between him and the prince.
Shui Zhizi quickly glanced at Zheng Hong's eyes. She was not sure whether her understanding was right or wrong, but Shui Zhizi was sober and did not ask anything, nor did she understand anything.
Although Shui Zhizi cooperated with King Rui, everyone in Beijing knew that Shui Zhizi was King Rui's man.
But Shui Zhizi and King Rui never talked about court affairs, and Shui Zhizi never asked about things she shouldn't know.
But the Crown Prince seemed to have been defeated too quickly. It was only eight or nine months ago that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess plotted to get him into the water, Shui Zhizi thought.
The War King Zheng Hong is indeed worthy of his reputation. The fear in Shui Zhizi's eyes was inadvertently revealed.
"Shui Zhizi, you don't need to be so afraid of me. You are King Rui's partner, and we are on the same side."
"Your Highness, you are joking. Why would I be afraid of you? Your Highness will not do anything to harm me."
Although she said this, Shui Zhizi was actually feeling very nervous.
The royal family was very wary of the fact that King Rui, a king of a different surname, had military power.
When Zheng Hong needed an ally to help him fight against the prince, Prince Rui was the best ally.
But now that Zheng Hong has won, King Rui has become the biggest threat.
Wasn't it because King Rui was afraid that King Zhan would destroy his bridges after crossing the river that he approached her as a merchant that he approached?
Before the battle between the Crown Prince and Zheng Hong was decided, she had never been used.
Now it is Zheng Hong and Prince Rui's turn. As the owner of Mingyuan Hall, she will probably be kept under the spotlight forever.
Helping Prince Rui was something she had promised a long time ago, and Prince Rui just wanted to live a peaceful life with Qi Yu.
But who knows what the consequences of going against Zheng Hong will be?
So she had to deal with Ying Wan'er's problem before helping Prince Rui.
Is it really because of my own incompetence? Zheng Hong's battle for the throne ended so quickly.
Why did it take her so many years just to seek revenge on Ying Wan'er?
But it seems that what Prince Rui said in the court actually helped him.
As long as this epidemic can be resolved quickly, she will be able to take advantage of more people's hearts, and then she might be able to face Ying Wan'er face to face.
Inspired by this idea, Shui Zhizi worked even harder. She saw patients and took care of them during the day, and studied prescriptions with Wu Kai and the experienced doctors in Liujia Town at night.
Shui Zhizi was never so serious when she first started studying medicine under Wu Kai's supervision.
Zheng Hong, who is in charge of this epidemic, is also very busy.
The fact that the epidemic was not taken seriously at the beginning still affected its treatment, and many people became seriously ill.
After Zheng Hong arrived and understood the situation, he did not interfere much in the patient's treatment. Everything was done according to the previous arrangements.
So the first thing Zheng Hong did was to track down the people who had escaped from Liujia Town after the epidemic broke out.
The most terrifying thing is that after investigation, Zheng Hong found that some people already had symptoms of illness before they ran out of Liujia Town.
Fortunately, the Yan Dynasty had strict population management and they quickly tracked down the whereabouts of those people.
However, those who have had contact with those people need to be checked one by one, and Zheng Hong is personally keeping an eye on all of this.
Moreover, Zheng Hong has to appear in front of the patients in Liujia Town every day. According to Zheng Hong, as a prince, he has to reassure people's hearts.
In Shui Zhizi's opinion, Zheng Hong is trying to win people's hearts.
