"I will beat you two to death. "Men and women!" Ye Zichen slapped Wang Chengwen in the face, but Wang Chengwen was still hit after he dodged it. That woman's nails cut his skin, causing two red lines to appear on his handsome face.
She had already gone mad with anxiety. Who would have thought that these two would meet in such a relaxed manner? She was the one who had harmed the old master.
Dongfang Ning was initially shocked. How could this person be so outrageous? When the woman was about to slap her again, Dongfang Ning easily grabbed her hand and threw it behind her. The woman immediately fell to the ground, crying loudly.
"Yuqing, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, you …"
The two men by the side felt sorry for each other. Li Yuqing felt too embarrassed to say more, so she turned around with a pained heart, "Second Madam, it's not that we have anything shameful …"
How could that woman understand her words? In short, when she saw Wang Chengwen, she would think that it was definitely not that simple.
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, she struggled to get up and beat him up, "You are the one who caused this! "You little slut. And you, even a poor person wants to marry the daughter of the magistrate …"
"Enough!" Dongfang Ning yelled. Her cold voice was full of sternness, giving everyone a fright.
"What's going on?"
"Godly Doctor, please calm your anger. This official will deal with it, deal with it immediately!" Li Du chased from the outside. Oh my god, he was sweating profusely from anxiousness, he was completely on guard against these women.
"I have long held Li Yao's case in my hands. This is the national law, how can you, an ignorant, unruly woman, be allowed to mess around like this. Someone, arrest her!"
"Wait a minute, let her explain what's going on." This was the end. She still didn't understand why this person would beat him up and scold him the moment he entered the room. This didn't follow normal logic.
"Speak quickly, otherwise you will be found guilty of the same crime!"
The woman was terrified. She was being held by the two armored guards on either side of her. The place where she was grabbed was painful to the bone. She was sweating profusely. When she heard the roar again, she immediately fell to the ground.
"Please spare my life, my lord! It has nothing to do with me! Yes, it's this wild beast …" Wang Chengwen, he wants to marry me... As for the original mistress's daughter, the old master didn't allow her to do as she wished, so he harbored hatred within his heart and colluded with her … The heroine has come for revenge. "
Dongfang Ning laughed when she heard this. What the heck was this? This woman really had an imagination!
"Then why didn't Li agree to his marriage? Isn't that a good person?"
"Sir, let me say it." Wang Chengwen saw that the matter had been exposed and decided not to hide it anymore. The main reason was because he felt sorry when he saw Li Yuqing already have her head down and have angina.
"My family is poor, and I have a mother who has been ill for many years. My father is just a grass citizen. A year ago, I had to rush for an exam. When I met Miss Li, she helped me with 30 silver taels …"
He calmly told them everything. His family was poor, so there was no need to be afraid of being looked down upon. This was not the first time he had been looked down upon. For many years, he had lived under the contempt of others.
Dongfang Ning was dumbfounded when she heard this. Was the ancient era really so terrifying?
This person looked pretty good. When she thought about how he stopped her yesterday, afraid that she would be infected, she naturally understood his good intentions. It was just that he was in a hurry and she pretended to be angry.
So she turned to Li Du, "This Li Yao is guilty of a heinous crime. If he is not qualified, I think it would be a good idea to let this Wang Chengwen be the magistrate. He is not as guilty as his family, so I think the Li Family will understand what they should do."
"Miss is right. This official will report it to the emperor!"
Li Du said to Wang Chengwen who was kneeling down:
"Wang Chengwen, listen up, I appoint you as Liu De County's magistrate. Your rank has been raised by seven ranks and you have been granted a rank of seven ranks. You shall take up your position immediately!"
Ah!
Everyone was stunned. This was possible?
Wang Chengwen's current official position was unranked. The smallest official was at the ninth rank, so he was directly promoted from unranked to third rank!
"What? You're not willing?"
Seeing that he did not react for a long time, Li Du's tone became bad. It did not matter if Li Du dared to disobey him, but with Imperial Advisor here, she could not bear to see things being delayed any longer.
"Young Master Wang ~" Li Yuqing hurriedly pushed Wang Chengwen, who was beside her. What's wrong, why aren't you thanking him!?
"This official, this official will listen to the order!"
"Yes, immediately go and finish what you did today and ask the Li family's Grand Master to hand over all the printed letters. You can stay in the county magistrate's office from now on."
"Thank you, Sir!"
This time, he answered very quickly. This was great, he did not expect things to turn out like this. He thought that since he had made trouble for the county magistrate's house, he would not be able to return.
"Li Yao's case must be strictly investigated. Do you know that an official has to report it to the law enforcement?"
"This official will remember this!"
Li Du looked up and stole a glance at Dongfang Ning. Seeing that her expression was good, he did not say anything more. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Since you've discovered that the Godly Doctor has rendered meritorious service, I shall bestow the marriage on you on your behalf. From today onwards, this woman will be married into your family to repay her silver gift!"
"Thank you, my lord!" "This official will immediately do as I say. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor ~"
"Alright, Wang Chengwen, you can stay in the county and handle this case. This Li Du and I will go check the source of the infection."
"Thank you, young lady. You are my savior. I have been very lucky ever since I met you. You truly are a kind-hearted female Bodhisattva!"
Wang Chengwen was unable to express the gratitude in his heart. The changes of the day had shocked him so much that he kowtowed deeply to Dongfang Ning.
Don't waste time with the nonsense. Give this prescription to Li Du and have him send people to catch and cook it. It's urgent, so we have to deal with the important matters first. The groups of people that Li Yao sent out in the morning will belong to you.
"Yes, this official will do so!" Heavens, he really had a lot of things to do today. He had just taken over a county job, and now he was going to get married. He even had to do these urgent things …
Jiangnan was a good place. Almost half of the plague had been banned by the authorities. It turned out that it had been a disaster for almost four months. No wonder Li Du, a powerful official, was kept here.
After arriving at the designated area, everyone realized that this place had already become a dead city. This was a large county, on the side of Liude County and another county, although there was a mountain between them.
And that was where the river Dongfang Ning was talking about came down from.
After checking the situation, she estimated that something unexpected had happened beside the river. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a plague.
"Send someone up to the village to check if there's anyone up there who's infected with the virus. Then, we'll continue to search along the river."
With such a wide area, how could it be easy to find the source of infection?
