After the antidote was developed, the plague was lifted, and as the fleeing townspeople returned one after another, order was gradually restored.
And when the townspeople knew that the person who developed the antidote was in the Town Lord's Mansion, the threshold of the Town Lord's Mansion was almost broken by the townspeople who came to thank him.
At first, Tang Youer quite enjoyed this feeling, but as more people thanked her, she started to feel embarrassed. When she wanted to ask for help from Scholar Baixiao, Lu Bubai and Xiaojia, the three of them had already disappeared and ran away.
Far away.
In the end, the helpless Tang You'er could only hide away without seeing anyone. The townspeople could not see anyone, and soon they gradually dispersed.
In a side room, Tang Youer was sitting on a chair alone, holding a small jade bottle in her hand, which contained the Wuji Powder collected in front of her.
Tang You'er looked at the Wuji Powder in her hand and fell into deep thought.
Before, she asked Scholar Baixiao if he could tell her who the traitor was in the Tang Sect, but Scholar Baixiao asked back, "Don't you have someone to choose?"
Indeed, Tang Youer does have a candidate, and this person is the Great Elder.
Regarding the issue of Tianxiang Powder, she suspected that it was done by the Great Elder. After all, Tianxiang Powder has always been under the care of the Great Elder, and this Wuji Powder can only be done by the Great Elder.
At that time, when Tang Youer's master was developing Wuji Powder, the Great Elder strongly supported it, and also helped her master do a lot of things and solved many problems for her master. It can be said that Wuji San is the product of her master and
Developed jointly by the great elders.
And when her master said he wanted to give up, the great elder had a big argument with her master. Finally, under the pressure of her master as the head of the Tang Sect, the great elder had no choice but to give up.
Now it seems that the Great Elder did not follow the instructions and was still secretly developing Wuji Powder and distributing it for experiments. This is really a heinous crime.
Tang You'er has decided to set off back to Tangmen in the afternoon to confront the great elder.
Button, button, button!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, which brought Tang Youer back from her thoughts. Tang Youer got up and opened the door, and found that it was a servant.
When the servant arrived at Tang You'er, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, Eunuch Li of the imperial court is in the front hall to convey the imperial edict. The other three adults have already gone, so I'm leaving you alone."
Tang You'er was not interested in the imperial edict at all. Just when he was about to say no, he heard that Scholar Baixiao and the others had already passed by, and they could just bid farewell to him, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, please lead the way."
Under the leadership of his servant, Tang You'er came to a hall. In the hall, Scholar Baixiao, Lu Bubai and Xiaojia were sitting on chairs, drinking tea leisurely.
The mayor of Yong'an Town and several local officials stood on one side in a restrained manner. On the other side, stood a row of guards wearing golden armor and holding spears. These guards exuded an aura of calmness and self-power just by standing there.
, shocked the whole audience.
In front of the warrior, stood a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a eunuch uniform. He was talking to Scholar Baixiao with a flattering expression on his face, but Scholar Baixiao just smiled and listened, and did not speak except for occasionally nodding.
.
This person is Eunuch Li who came to convey the imperial edict.
When Eunuch Li saw Tang You'er approaching, he quickly stepped forward and said, "You must be the head of the Tang Sect. You are indeed a heroic young man. Your Majesty is very grateful for your help."
Tang You'er nodded and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. Saving lives and healing the wounded is what we as medical practitioners should do."
"Haha, your Excellency is so humble." Eunuch Li smiled, then turned around and said to everyone: "Now that everyone is here, I will start to read out the imperial edict."
A guard came up holding a rectangular valuable box in both hands. Eunuch Li opened the box and took out a roll of golden cloth.
As soon as they heard that the imperial edict was about to be read out, the officials and golden-armored guards of Yong'an Town all knelt on the ground. Although Baixiao Scholar, Lu Bubai, and Xiaojia did not kneel, they still stood up. Tang Youer walked over and stood with the three of them.
Together.
Eunuch Li didn't care at all that Scholar Baixiao and the other four people didn't kneel down. It was obvious that he had been notified before, but his expression still showed a trace of unnaturalness.
After coughing, Eunuch Li spread out the golden cloth and said loudly: "According to the edict of Emperor Chengyun, Yong'an Town has made contributions in treating the epidemic. All officials in Yong'an Town will be promoted to one rank and rewarded with silver and white coins."
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Yong'an Town officials kowtowed and said in unison.
Then, Eunuch Li recited the reward of one thousand taels of silver each to Tang You'er and Baixiao scholar. He was afraid that they would not accept it, so he said: "Two adults, although you may not care about this small amount of money, it represents the Holy Spirit's wishes. Please be patient."
I must accept it."
Tang Youer and Scholar Baixiao wanted to refuse, but when they heard this, they couldn't say anything else.
"Hey, they two have bounties, what about mine?" Xiaojia said dissatisfied when she saw that Tang You'er and Scholar Baixiao both had bounties but she didn't.
"Who are you?" Eunuch Li looked at Xiaojia with an expression like "Who are you?" and asked.
When Xiaojia saw it, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to talk properly, but was stopped by Tang Youer.
Tang Youer said: "Sister Xiaojia, if you like it, then I will give you my bounty. It is of no use to me anyway."
When Xiaojia heard this, she was very moved and said quickly: "Sister You'er, I don't want your things. Forget it, I don't want the bounty or anything like that."
Although she said no, Xiaojia had already decided in her heart that she must go to the palace treasury when she has time and empty out all the things inside, as this bounty.
Thinking of this, Xiaojia looked at Eunuch Li with a sinister smile, which made Eunuch Li feel frightened and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
Shaking his head, Eunuch Li did not look at Xiaojia. He re-rolled the imperial edict and put it in the box. Then he walked to Scholar Baixiao in small steps and said: "Sir, there is actually one more thing I need to do this time. Your Majesty."
I hope sir can help."
Scholar Baixiao shook his folding fan and said like a prophet: "He is the daughter of the Hu family, one of the three great aristocratic families in the south."
When Eunuch Li heard this, he quickly said: "Sir, you are really a man of God. Exactly, the daughter of the Hu family has suddenly contracted a strange disease recently. I have searched for famous doctors but no one can cure her. I hope you can help me."
Scholar Baixiao shook his head and said, "I don't know how to treat illnesses. You should find another person." After saying that, he looked at Tang You'er."
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Li immediately walked up to Tang You'er, bowed and said, "Please help Tang Sect Master."
Tang You'er was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Sorry, I came out this time just because of the plague. Now that it's resolved, I have to go back to Tangmen. I'm sorry that I can't do anything else."
"This..." When Eunuch Li heard this, he became anxious and looked at Scholar Baixiao for help."
Scholar Baixiao put away the folding fan, looked at Tang You'er and said, "Miss You'er, going back now won't solve anything. It's better to stay outside for a while, and the truth will appear in front of you."
When Xiaojia heard that Tang You'er said she wanted to go back to Tangmen, she also advised her: "Sister You'er, how long have you been here? You have to go back so soon. There are many interesting things outside that I haven't taken you to see yet.
.”
"Although fortune-telling is very unreliable, what he said is still useful. Why don't you spend more time playing? Then I will go back to Tangmen with you. If someone is unfavorable to you, I will teach him a lesson for you."
Hearing Xiaojia's words, Tang Youer smiled and shook his head, thought for a while, and finally nodded: "In that case, fine, I'll stay for a while."
When Eunuch Li saw this, he immediately said with great joy: "Thank you very much, Master Tang. I will prepare the horses now. You guys have a rest, and we will set off later."
