In the early morning, Li Ang took a carriage and headed to the prefect's mansion in the city.
Along the way, you can see many more citizens on the streets - the effective implementation of the snail extermination plan and the emergence of tartar medicine have restored the whole city to life, no longer as lifeless as when the water poisoning was rampant.
The citizens sitting at the food stalls were talking a lot about the strange loud noise that echoed through Suzhou City last night.
It is said that the noise was made by the God of Taihu Lake. The God of the Lake took pity on the people in Jiangnan and used his magic power to fight against the God of Plague.
It is said that the sound was made by the plague ghost. The plague ghost has been practicing under the lake for thousands of years and was about to turn into a ghost fairy, but was blocked by the catastrophe. The white light in the sky last night was the aftermath of the battle.
It is said that the sound comes from the mythical Zhenze Kui Niu.
The most outrageous thing is that fishermen fished out a one-eyed stone man from the bottom of the lake and made some kind of ominous prophecy...
The rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Isn't it true that the stone man has one eye? Isn't it true that this thing is out of the world?
Li Ang smiled and shook his head. As the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the people in Jiangnan are more casual when discussing government affairs.
Squeak.
The carriage stopped in front of the prefect's mansion. Li Ang followed the leading soldiers and saw Li Shan, Shen Tuyu and Tantai Leshan.
"Tantai Siye?"
Li Ang was shocked, or pretended to be shocked, "Why are you here?"
Tantai Leshan smiled slightly, flicked his fingers, released the sound isolation technique, and said, "I'm here to help escort the prisoners."
Li Ang said in surprise, "Prisoner?"
"Last night, the deputy commander of the Zhenfu Division and I captured a Zhuxiao realm Gu master from the Western Kingdom in Taihu Lake, named Situ Zhi."
Shen Tuyu took out a large stack of files and put them on the table and said: "As far as we know, he has caused more than fifteen major epidemics in many countries, with millions of victims.
The water poisoning in Taihu Lake this time was also his handiwork."
Li Ang and King of Light Li Shan picked up the files on the table and started reading them.
A secret that is not a secret,
The secret agents of the Zhenfu Division are all over the world, and they will record files on most of the famous monks.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more hostile the monk is to the Yu State, and the more public his behavior, the thicker his file will be.
As a Gu Master, Situ Zhi's files are as thick as bricks, and one can fully imagine Zhenfu Si's hatred for him.
Shen Tuyu said: "After interrogation, it has been confirmed that without Situ Zhi's promotion, the water poisonous poison will weaken. Maybe it only takes one or two years to carry out the snail extermination project, and the water poisonous epidemic will dissipate."<
/p>
"Yeah, that's great!"
Li Shan's spirit was shaken. During this period, he took the lead in preventing poisonous insects and exterminating snails. It can be said that he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Moreover, as the King of Light and the inspector, he was very clear about the logic of the Yu State court's actions - if the water poisoning could not be completely eradicated, then the court would not be able to continue to invest massive amounts of material and financial resources, and would only gradually reduce the investment as much as possible.
Reduce losses.
And if there is hope that water poisoning can be eradicated, then the imperial court is still willing to support it.
"Also..."
Shen Tuyu paused for a moment and said: "Situ Zhi's time in the Yu Kingdom was not short. He was able to avoid being caught for so long because he was driving cautiously. It is also possible that someone was secretly helping him hide his whereabouts."
"Does he have an accomplice?" Li Shan asked with a frown.
"Maybe."
Shen Tuyu said vaguely: "In short, more inside stories are still under investigation.
In addition to Shen Tuyu and his associates, there may be another force - Situ Zhi, who was not discovered first last night by me or Zhenfusi people.
It was the sound that another monk made when fighting Situ Zhi that affected Suzhou City.
Situ Zhi is a Zhuxiao realm Gu master, so he can be his opponent. The unknown monk at least has the cultivation level of Xunyun realm.
His Highness King Guang and Mr. Li Xiaolang, it is best not to leave Suzhou City in the near future. In addition, the information about Situ Zhi is still confidential for the time being, and it is best not to disclose it to the outside world."
"Understood."
Li Ang nodded, turned around and left the prefect's mansion, feeling relieved secretly in his heart.
Mo Si's concealment is still reliable. Last night, the Zhenfu Division searched Taihu Lake several times but could not find the trace of Mo Si's spiritual energy, so they had to give up.
However, the disciple next to Situ Zhi ran away. I wonder if he can be caught and brought to justice.
In addition, Situ Zhi is a member of Zhao Ming. He was captured by the Zhenfu Division and interrogated, and he will definitely be able to find out something.
By then, it will be Zhenfusi and Xuegong who will target Zhaoming first.
Or did the other party sense the danger and strike first?
Li Ang took a breath silently, and the sense of urgency in his heart became stronger.
Even among the many paths in the Zhuxiao Realm, the Gu Master who is least good at fighting is still crushing the monks below the Zhuxiao Realm.
Sure enough, you must have enough strength to protect yourself...
Li Ang took the carriage back to the still noisy and busy ward, found Qiu Feng, and revealed some tellable information.
"Will the water poisoning epidemic be reduced in the coming year?"
Qiu Feng subconsciously widened his eyes, and immediately realized that his voice was too loud, so he quickly lowered his voice, "How much lighter will it be?"
"It's hard to say, but it should be able to reduce the number of patients by at least 50% to 60%."
Li Ang couldn't estimate the effect of the so-called evil spirit, so he gave a rough figure, "Give me the medical records of the seriously ill patients who came to the hospital during this period, and I will do the calculations."
Qiu Feng immediately took down a large box of information from the cabinet. Li Ang flipped through the cases and used the map of the Taihu Lake system to estimate the future number of sick people in each region, the difficulty of control, etc.
And calculate how long it will take for the ward to be cleared of cases based on the current treatment speed if there are no new schistosomiasis cases in the future.
"With the current level of support provided by the court, it will take two years to clear out the cases without new schistosomiasis cases.
If there are a small number of new schistosomiasis cases, it will take four years.
If there are new cases and the imperial court reduces its support, it will take Suzhou about... ten years to clear out the cases."
The calculation results made Li Ang let out a long breath. Qiu Feng looked at the solemn expression on his face and said softly: "Ten years is already very fast to eliminate the epidemic."
"Not fast enough."
Li Ang shook his head. It is difficult for antimony potassium tartrate to completely remove schistosomiasis from the human body. Monks still need to use the thread removal method to eradicate it.
The number of monks is limited, which means patients need to queue up to wait for the opportunity to eradicate.
During this process, antimony potassium tartrate will still cause huge damage to the patient's body.
Li Ang knew that without him, schistosomiasis would most likely be a terminal disease. He had tried his best, but he still couldn't help but wonder if there was a better way...
Qiu Feng hesitated for a moment, "Maybe we can try other medicines? There is a saying about medicine in medicine. Maybe using tartaric medicine, plus some other medicine, can ensure the efficacy of the medicine and at the same time reduce its harm to the human body.
Kill."
"I'm afraid it's difficult..."
Li Ang shook his head. Antimony-based schistosomiasis medicine must be toxic.
Non-antimonial schistosomiasis drugs include praziquantel, nitrothiocyanate, oxaniquine, niridazole, etc., each of which is more difficult to synthesize than antimony potassium tartrate...
"Wait,"
Li Ang suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Maybe... we can try that."
