Liao Tingyu asked the yamen to take the clerks one by one to ask every household in the county where they had been. This workload was huge, and the clerks were busy for three or four days.

Liao Tingyu received the message and said to the doctor, “From this point of view, these sick people have no similarities at all.”

Several doctors also nodded. It was indeed the case. The disease seemed to come suddenly.

They also randomly checked the well water and found that it was okay for other people to drink from the same wells.

A rather superstitious doctor said very melancholy: “Sir, could it be that they have done bad things and are punished by the god?”

Liao Tingyu shook his head and said: “Doctor, we are all scholars, we are not talking about ghosts and god.”

The doctor lowered his head, still a little unconvinced. There was no sign of poisoning. How could someone just get this disease? No matter what kind of medicine was applied it couldn’t be cure. What else could it be if not a punishment sent by ghosts and God?

He didn’t know if those people had done something abominable, but they would not die and could only endure itching every day.

Seeing that these doctors were really incompetent, Liao Tingyu thought for a while and said, “Let’s gather those sick people together and isolate a mansion in the county to treat their illnesses.”

“I once saw in a miscellaneous book, there are some articles about it. Since none of the doctors have any useful methods, just follow my method and don’t think of random thoughts.” Liao Tingyu looked at someone who shrink like a quail in warning.

That person also knew Liao Tingyu was talking about him. After all, his words would disrupt the stability of the county.

“I’ve only heard that the county magistrate is very knowledgeable, but I didn’t expect that you also have knowledge in medical skills. I really admire you. As long as you tell me what to do, I will definitely do it.” The military doctor was the first to agree.

As the only one among these doctors with an official position, the military doctor agreed with the county magistrate’s approach, so naturally, others did not dare to object.

Soon the entire county government took action. Some of them really didn’t want to be separated from their families, so Liao Tingyu asked them to go together to help.

People who went to the vacated mansion were a little uneasy and didn’t know what their future was going to be.

There was no cure for this disease for a long time, and they didn’t know if the county magistrate would burn them alive like they were dealing with the plague or let them die in the mansion.

Now many people in the entire county were speculating whether they had the plague, and their faces were extremely ugly.

.

“Sir, can we still come out after we go there?” one asked.

Liao Tingyu looked at him very seriously and said: “Yes, these doctors will do their best to cure your disease. Because you live in scattered places, there are only so many doctors, so I let you gather in one mansion. It’s better to get treatment in time and don’t let the doctor wandered around all over the county. Don’t worry so much. I believe you will be fine.”

“Master, I believe in you. You are the county magistrate of our county. You will definitely help us.”

Liao Tingyu patted him on the shoulder and said: “Go in, don’t worry, I will have your three meals a day delivered to you, and you will be paid back when you are better!”

Liao Tingyu’s words made a group of people with sad faces burst into laughter.

“Your Excellency, aren’t you scared of suffering losses?”

“Have you ever seen anyone who didn’t dare to rely on me? It will be fine.” Liao Tingyu said with a smile.

After placing the people in, Liao Tingyu immediately summoned the wealthy businessmen who went to buy lime.

“How about all the things I asked you to buy?”

“Replying to the master, the amount used here is really too much, and this thing is relatively expensive. We all went to the next county to buy it, but we only bought a few thousand catties. It’s really too expensive. Mug wort is all dried and we get several thousand catties.”

Liao Tingyu nodded, “You have done a very good job. If you can do it well this time, that’s a great achievement.”

Zhao Han, who had been following behind as an invisible man, was confused. Why would he ask these people to buy things?

“Why do you let them buy these things? And why not lock up those patient’s neighbors and family members? If those people also got the disease, wouldn’t it be passed on to other people?”

Liao Tingyu looked at him and said: “The doctors have made it clear that the disease is not contagious. There is no need to involve so many people. Do you think the money in the county government is a lot? So, it was okay to support so many people?”

“Oh!” Zhao Han stuck out his tongue. He forgot.

“You will know exactly how to use these things just by looking at them. If you encounter a plague in the future, you can also use this method. But boy, you’d better follow me and take a good look. There are things to see and listen to, and even more important. Use your brain.” Liao Tingyu looked at him very seriously and spoke.

Zhao Han was confused. He still looked careless. He knew the things were not that simple, but what on earth were they were trying to do?

One day he would know the answer.
