Saying this, he vanished from the hall in a flash.

“Zhe Jue, did the Lord go… to Hongling Town?” Shijian turned towards the empty hall, and asked Zhe Jue.

Hongling Town was supposed to be the most dangerous place right now. How could the Lord just go there? Should she accompany him?

“The Lord knows what he is doing, Shijian, remember what Zhe Xi taught you,” Zhe Jue replied indifferently with a glance at Shijian.

Upon hearing Zhe Jue’s words, Shijian gasped and fell silent immediately.

…

Inside a grass shed in Hongling Town, after the other elders had left, Lin Caisang kept Old Master Gong behind, knowing that certain information could only be obtained from him.

For instance…

“Old Master Gong, who fell sick first in your household? Which son or a servant?” She asked.

“Umm… it was a servant…” Old Master Gong said, his eyes darting, and corners of his mouth twitched slightly. But even before he could finish, a man standing next to Lin Caisang interrupted him.

“Rubbish, it was clearly your son! We all know it. Do not fool Miss Liu. Believe me, Miss Liu, it was his son indeed who first fell sick. Everyone in our town knows this.”

When they referred to Miss Liu, they meant Lin Caisang. She didn’t want to reveal her name hence she used her mother’s surname Liu, as suggested by her father once.

“Old Master Gong, I hope you will not hide anything from me. After all, you wouldn’t want the situation in the town to worsen, would you?” With her eyes slightly squinted, Lin Caisang stared at Old Master Gong.

Earlier, she had heard that it was Old Master Gong who had brought this peculiar disease to the entire town, and this preoccupied her current perception towards the Gong Family.

And now, did Old Master Gong intend to hide something further, assuming that he could control the situation in Hongling Town on his own?

“Um…”

Old Master Gong turned red in embarrassment, and in his frustration, glared at the intrusive man.

“Miss Liu, it’s not that I’m unwilling to speak, but it’s a matter of family disgrace, and I don’t wish to…”

“Old Master Gong, forgive me for speaking straight, your ‘family disgrace’ is now affecting all the people in Hongling Town. If you still worry about your family reputation, you may leave. My jurisdiction doesn’t cover your family matters,” Lin Caisang cut him off coldly, flicking her sleeve.

“Eh, Miss Liu…”

Old Master Gong’s face turned dark. As a person accustomed to flattery, he was taken aback by her abrupt manner. He wanted to lash out at Lin Caisang but restrained himself thinking of the future of the Gong Family, which was dependent on her.

“Is this lady the doctor who has come to treat the disease in Hongling Town?”

As Old Master Gong was about to explain himself, a man wearing official count attire hastily arrived, interrupting him.

“That would be me, you are Constable Wei?”

Lin Caisang looked at Constable Wei, and without waiting for his answer, pulled out a mask identical to the one she was wearing, handing it to him.

“I am afraid I must trouble you, Constable Wei, to ask the county official to make masks such as these for the people of Hongling Town. Hand them out to everyone so that they can cover their mouths and noses. It should somewhat help to prevent the spread of the mysterious disease.”

“Oh, yes yes.”

Constable Wei, still shocked to find out the doctor was a woman, had now been assigned a task.
