Chapter 337 Final Goal
Chapter 337 Final Goal
But the prerequisite is that everything can really develop as the other party said, but now that things have come to this, does he still have room for choice?
On the surface, the other party's words were an answer to the question he had raised, and his attitude was humble enough, but in fact, they were threatening him.
They could make a general who had practiced martial arts for many years fall into a deep sleep silently, and then end his life quietly. If they could do this to a general, what about him, a weak civil servant?
What's more, he even talked about guaranteeing with his own head. If it really didn't work, would he really be willing to surrender and let him chop off his head?
Meng Heshan sighed inwardly, never mind, this person still gave him time to observe, so he might as well try this medicine on those who are sick first.
If it has no effect, it will prove that this matter was a trap tailor-made for him from the beginning to the end, and he must not get involved. If there is really no other way, the worst that can happen is that he will hang himself to avoid falling into the trap of the villain and endangering the lives of the entire family.
But if it really works, then... then he really needs to think carefully about it.
Just as Meng Heshan was thinking, Lin Chuyi spoke again.
"The governor has always wanted to know the real purpose of my doing this. Since the governor has been honest and told me the truth, there is no need for me to hide it any longer. In addition to my sincere desire to save the people of Yongning County, I am here for another purpose."
Hearing this, Meng Heshan immediately pulled himself out of his thoughts and planned to listen carefully to what the other party was going to say next.
"I am already seventy-three years old this year. Although I have developed many methods of preventing and treating infectious diseases, I am unable to appear in time when an epidemic occurs to help local people treat themselves. Therefore, after the smallpox issue is resolved, I would like to ask the governor to do me a favor."
Meng Heshan had already heard some clues from Lin Chuyi's words just now, and had some guesses about what she was going to say next, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he nodded to Lin Chuyi with a serious look on his face, and then said, "Sir, please go ahead."
"I hope that when you submit your petition, you will also present to the Emperor the other prescriptions for the prevention and treatment of the epidemic that I have summarized."
"This..." Meng Heshan's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river) with a look of embarrassment on his face.
After Lin Chuyi read Meng Heshan's psychological activities, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but his face was still indifferent.
"If the governor is worried that I may have tampered with the paper, you can send someone to re-copy it in private to ensure that there is no problem with what is sent."
Meng Heshan was shocked, not understanding how this old man could see through his inner thoughts. After a brief moment of shock, his facial expression became somewhat unnatural, and he said awkwardly: "Sir, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
Lin Chuyi nodded in understanding, "Oh, that's just me worrying too much, please don't take it personally, Lord Governor."
After saying this, Lin Chuyi bowed to Meng Heshan to show his apology, and then continued: "I have no other intention in doing this. I just want to send my experience and methods of treating epidemic diseases in recent years to the emperor through the hands of the governor, and ask the emperor to let the people of the Imperial Hospital refer to and verify those prescriptions."
"If the people in the Imperial Hospital unanimously agree that my treatment method is feasible, please take the trouble to submit another memorial to the emperor, requesting that the emperor compile the treatment methods for those epidemics into a book and promote it to all prefectures, counties, towns and villages across the country."
"In this way, if we encounter similar things again, more people will be able to survive the epidemic, and my efforts over the years will not be in vain."
Meng Heshan was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the ultimate goal of the old man who called himself Chen Er would be this. He was not seeking fame or profit, but just to save the people of the world from the suffering of the epidemic.
This made him feel incredible, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards the old man in front of him.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Lin Chuyi and said, "Sir, you are so kind. I will send someone to deliver medicine to Yongning County in a while. If the people there show obvious signs of improvement after taking the medicine, I will allocate funds to make medicine and do my best to treat the people infected with smallpox. If the smallpox can really be cured, I will deliver your prescription to the emperor as you requested and fulfill your wish."
Lin Chuyi smiled and bowed to Meng Heshan, "Thank you very much for your help, Lord Governor."
Meng Heshan returned the greeting, "Sir, you are too polite. Without further ado, I will arrange for someone to deliver the medicine."
"it is good."
Just as Meng Heshan was about to walk out, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Lin Chuyi again, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you two stay at the mansion? When you get the result, you can let me know as soon as possible. What do you think?"
Lin Chuyi agreed with a smile, "That's fine, I'm sorry to bother you then."
Seeing Lin Chuyi agree so readily, Meng Heshan smiled even more, "Then it's settled. Sir, please wait for a moment. When the room is ready, someone will come and take you to your room to rest."
"it is good."
Meng Heshan gave a few brief instructions and hurriedly left the study with the medicine bottle and prescription. As soon as he went out, he saw two servants standing guard at the study door.
When the servant saw Meng Heshan coming out, he hurriedly bowed to him. Meng Heshan subconsciously said "hmm" and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, he realized that the servant at the door was fine, so how did those two people appear in his room?
Thinking of this, Meng Heshan turned back. Afraid that his voice was too loud and would be heard by the two people in the room, he waved to the two servants.
The servant didn't understand, but he still followed Meng Heshan's gesture and walked over. Meng Heshan made a gesture to silence them and led them to the small garden. After making sure that the distance was far enough and the people in the study couldn't hear their conversation, Meng Heshan stopped and turned to look at the two servants and asked, "Did you let anyone into the study just now?"
The two servants were shocked when they heard this, and then shook their heads. One of them said, "Your Excellency, since you entered the study, no one has appeared at the door of the study. We dare not let anyone into the study without your consent."
The other person nodded quickly, agreeing with his companion's statement.
Seeing that the two did not seem to be lying, Meng Heshan frowned more and more. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Did you hear any voices in the house or any strange noises when you were at the door?"
