Chapter 638: City Lord Gets Sick
The City Lord's Mansion was in turmoil all night. The guards in the mansion spent the entire night trying to catch the assassin, but in the end they didn't even find a trace of the assassin.
After finally quieting down and the sky slightly brightening, a sharp voice broke the tranquility of the City Lord's Mansion again.
"Oh no! The city lord is sick. Someone go outside and get a doctor."
Normally, if Jiang Beiwang was sick, it would not be a special thing to ask a doctor.
But this time it was different.
He was lying on the bed, his snow-white face turned red due to the high fever, and he began to vomit and have diarrhea.
In just one hour, he went to the toilet no less than ten times. Jiang Wangbei was very upset.
When the old doctor was caught by two guards, his eyes were not fully open yet. He was carried to the city lord's mansion.
But when he saw Jiang Wangbei himself, he suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes widened wider than anyone else's.
The old doctor was already in his seventies, and he had never imagined that in his lifetime, he would see their gentle and refined city lord urinating in front of him.
What an embarrassing situation this is?
Jiang Wangbei's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot when he realized that he had lost his composure in front of the doctor.
He roared in anger: "What are you looking at? If you keep looking at me, I will dig out your eyeballs!"
He said this sentence very skillfully because he had done similar things many times.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor immediately lowered his head in fear and said in horror: "Lord City Lord, please calm down. I didn't see anything. I will leave now and come back to check your pulse after you have cleaned up."
It would have been fine if he didn't say that, but as soon as he said that, Jiang Wangbei got angry.
Since when did even a doctor who was not worthy of being seen dare to look down on him?
He gritted his teeth, and instead of letting the person out, he shouted angrily.
"Stop, has this city lord allowed you to leave?"
"I called you here to heal me. If you can't cure me, I will kill you!"
The old doctor was trembling with fear. It was not like he had not been to the City Lord's Mansion before. Every time he came, Jiang Wangbei's attitude was always gentle.
But this time, he saw Jiang Wangbei getting angry.
It was as if he was a completely different person now, very different from before.
The old doctor was terrified, but he still went ahead and took Jiang Wangbei's pulse and treated him.
He endured the pungent smell in his nose and placed his fingertips on the other's pulse.
The more he took the old doctor's pulse, the uglier his face looked.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand.
Jiang Wangbei pressed his sore throat and immediately asked, "What disease does this city lord have?"
The old doctor stood up, lowered his head, and said tremblingly: "The Lord City Lord's illness seems to be dysentery."
"What did you say!?" Jiang Wangbei's face immediately turned red as soon as these words came out.
"How could this city lord get dysentery?"
He never expected that taking the pulse would produce such a result.
Dysentery is contagious and difficult to treat.
Someone had been infected with this disease before and died not long after suffering from long-term diarrhea.
It can be said that its disease attacks are fierce and extremely difficult to treat.
If there is no effective medicine or the doctor’s medical skills are not good enough, the patient may die.
There have been cases of cure before, but the doctor who came was an imperial physician from the capital. After some research, he was able to control the patient's condition and prevent it from spreading further outside.
But this time, Jiang Wangbei didn't dare to take it lightly.
The doctors in Liangzhoukou were all mediocre in medical skills, and he couldn't guarantee that they could cure him.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "Can you cure this city lord's illness?"
The old doctor shuddered and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Lord City Lord, please spare my life. I am not a good doctor. I am really powerless to treat your illness!"
"Please, Lord City Lord, find a solution as soon as possible and seek help from others."
Jiang Wangbei: "..."
Jiang Wangbei: "!!!"
When he heard this answer, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Ugh~" Jiang Wangbei couldn't help it and vomited again.
"Get out! Get out of here for this city lord!"
He kicked over the chair next to him, pointed outside the door and roared: "You are all a bunch of trash, don't let this city lord see you again."
The old doctor didn't even take the medicine box and crawled out.
Jiang Wangbei was so angry that he smashed several vases in succession, which made him feel a little calmer.
At this time, a guard came hurriedly to report, "Lord City Lord, it's bad, the door of the secret room has been opened, and the two women imprisoned inside are missing."
"What did you say?" Jiang Wangbei was furious. He said in disbelief, "What do you do for a living? With so many people, you can't even keep an eye on two women?"
"No, this city lord will go and take a look."
Having said that, he casually put on a coat, got up and went out.
Outside, he met Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe, who seemed to have just gotten up.
When they saw Jiang Wangbei, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe came forward to greet him.
"City Lord Jiang, good morning. Where are you going so early?"
Jiang Wangbei didn't want to pay attention to them, but the other party was now living in the City Lord's Mansion, so it would be unreasonable for him to ignore them.
So, he responded perfunctorily, "This city lord has some urgent matters to deal with, Mr. Yun and Madam Yun, please do as you please for now."
He was about to leave, but Luo Junhe stepped forward and stopped him.
"Lord Jiang, if nothing unexpected happens, the batch of rice will arrive at Liangzhoukou tomorrow. There are many people in Liangzhoukou but little rice. There will definitely be many people coming to buy it by then."
"How should we distribute and sell it so that it will be more reasonable and legal, so that the people can have a hot meal? If you have time, Mr. Jiang Cheng, you might as well discuss this matter with us so that we can prepare for the next batch of rice in advance."
Jiang Wangbei became more and more anxious. He knew clearly that Xiaolian and Xiaohe knew his secret.
In the past, no woman who entered the City Lord’s Mansion would be able to walk out alive.
It was for this reason that he brought Xiaolian and Xiaohe into his secret room and let them see the artworks he made.
Of course, these works of art are all made with human bodies.
The reason why Jiang Wangbei let them go for the visit was because he was certain that the two would not walk out of the City Lord's Mansion alive.
But unexpectedly, the guard just came to tell him that Xiaolian and Xiaohe were missing and their whereabouts are unknown.
Jiang Wangbei would be lying if he said he wasn't panicked.
He was afraid that the other party would escape from the City Lord's Mansion and make his secret known to the public.
But Jiang Wangbei could never imagine how Xiaolian and Xiaohe, the two sisters, were able to break free from the ropes and escape after he tied them to the frying pan.
