The waste prince is so fierce

These discoveries made Li Quan very excited and thrilled, because he knew that these clues would help him uncover the true identities and purposes of these men in black!

So he decided to continue investigating further along these clues.

At this moment in the palace, Emperor Kang also received a secret report from Li Quan and learned about his recent investigations and discoveries.

Emperor Kang admired Li Quan's decisiveness and bravery and decided to secretly support his actions.

He sent a group of elite secret guards to assist Li Quan in investigating and tracking, hoping to uncover the truth of the matter as soon as possible!

But, does Kangdi really think so in his heart?

Or was it because Li Quan reported it that he had to do these things?

We don't know.

As the investigation progressed, Li Quan gradually discovered that the forces behind these men in black were far more complex and powerful than he had imagined.

Their purpose is not just to create chaos and disrupt the peace of the capital.

But there are more far-reaching plans and conspiracies!

This shocked Li Quan, but also made him more determined to uncover the truth.

Every night, he would carefully study the movements of the men in black and their possible hiding places in his study.

He believed that if he was given enough time, he would be able to find the lair of these men in black and capture them all in one fell swoop.

However, just as he was devoting himself to the investigation.

A large-scale plague suddenly broke out in the capital.

The epidemic spread rapidly, countless people fell ill, and the entire capital city fell into panic.

"Your Majesty has issued an order! Today, the plague is rampant in the capital. No household is allowed to go out without special permission! Anyone who violates this order will be executed immediately!!!"

Following the herald's loud announcement.

This solemn order echoed throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

The once bustling and noisy streets now became deserted, with only the occasional cough and low crying breaking the silence.

Li Quan stood on the high wall of the palace, looking out at the city shrouded in plague.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of worry.

He turned to his confidant beside him and said, "This plague came too suddenly and too strangely. We must find a solution as soon as possible."

The confidant nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. I have sent people to inquire about the latest situation of the epidemic. I hope to find a way to control the plague as soon as possible."

Li Quan took a deep breath and said, "It is summer now. If the plague is not controlled in time and allowed to spread, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this moment, a guard ran over in a hurry, knelt in front of Li Quan and said:

"Your Majesty, there is news that a large number of dead people were found in a house in the south of the city. The situation is very serious."

After hearing this, Li Quan immediately gave the order:

"Quick! Prepare the horses! I want to see for myself!"

After a while, Li Quan and his group rushed to the house in the south of the city.

As soon as they entered the door, they were stunned by the scene before them.

There were many corpses lying in the yard, with painful expressions on their faces, as if telling of the pain they suffered in life.

Li Quan squatted down and carefully examined one of the bodies.

Then he stood up and said solemnly: "These people died of the plague, and judging by the situation, the plague has spread."

A guard couldn't help but ask:

"My Lord, what should we do now?"

Li Quan pondered for a moment and said, "We must find a cure for the plague as soon as possible, and strengthen the epidemic prevention measures in the capital. You should immediately notify the medical officers and ask them to develop a prescription for the plague as soon as possible. In addition, pass on the order to let the people pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid contact with patients."

The guards took the order and left, and Li Quan turned to his confidant beside him and said:

"There may be something fishy going on behind the scenes of this plague. We must be careful. Send someone to investigate secretly to see if there are any suspicious people secretly manipulating this plague."

The confidant nodded and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away."

In fact, not only Li Quan is anxious now, but Emperor Kang is even more anxious.

After all, he is the emperor.

Now that the plague is rampant, rumors have begun to spread in the capital that he was being punished by God because he disrespected God.

At the morning court, Emperor Kang looked at the civil and military officials standing on both sides and shouted, "The plague is rampant in the capital now. Do you have any good ideas?"

The civil and military officials below all lowered their heads. Occasionally, some of them looked up, but when they met Emperor Kang's gaze, they quickly lowered their heads.

Can't blame them.

Since ancient times, dysentery has had no cure.

After all, in this pre-penicillin era, dysentery was as powerful as a nuclear bomb.

Emperor Kangdi looked at the silent officials below and became even angrier.

He slammed the imperial desk and shouted angrily:

"What? Aren't you usually quite talkative? Why are you all mute now?!"

An old minister standing in the front row, despite Emperor Kangdi's anger, stepped out carefully and bowed:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that we are incompetent. It's just that this plague is so fierce and spreads so quickly that we are helpless."

Kangdi's anger subsided a little after hearing this, but he still asked in a cold voice:

"So are you just going to watch the people of the capital suffer?"

At this time, another young official stood up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task is to strengthen the epidemic prevention measures in the capital and find medicine to treat the plague as soon as possible. We can post an imperial decree and offer a reward for a good prescription that can cure the plague. A big reward will surely attract brave men."

After hearing this, Kangdi's eyes flashed with approval and he nodded:

"This is a good suggestion, do it immediately!"

Li Quan also received the news in the palace.

He thought to himself: "Although this suggestion is good, it is not so easy to find medicine to treat the plague. I must do it myself."

So he immediately assembled a team of doctors who were proficient in medicine and prepared to personally lead them to find medicine to cure the plague.

At this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report:

"Your Majesty, there is a traveler outside who claims to be able to cure the plague and wants to see you."

Li Quan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly said, "Please come in!"

After a while, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe came in. He bowed to Li Quan and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the plague is rampant in the capital, so I came to offer you a good prescription to cure the plague."

After hearing this, Li Quan quickly asked:

"Oh? Do you really have a cure for the plague?"

The Taoist nodded, took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Li Quan, saying: "This is my family's ancestral prescription for curing plague. Please take a look, Your Highness."

Li Quan took the prescription, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to the doctor beside him and asked:

"Do you think this prescription is feasible?"
