Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

The news about the treatment of Magistrate Tian in the capital had begun to spread. Although it had not yet reached Hu County, it would not be long before Tian Xing'er came to Doctor Ge and said, "Doctor Ge, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Girl, tell me, I still owe you a big favor."

"Mr. Ge, let me tell you. Actually, it's about my father. Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that my father was punished for his vanity and that he caused the plague. But you also know that someone threw filthy things into Hexi Port, and my father was deceived and almost lost his life. Later, my brother and the doctors in our Hu County worked for several days and nights without closing their eyes to control the plague, and then went to assist other counties. Even if there were no such things, the smallpox treatment prescription alone could have saved so many people and done such a great deed. Now there is no praise at all. The people in the capital know nothing and want to convict my father. Some even say that my father killed countless civilians and students. It is really unfair to convict my father of a good man."

"What? They want to sentence the magistrate of Dingtian County to death? This is outrageous. Xing girl, tell me how I can help your father." Doctor Ge never thought that the imperial court would treat such an important matter as the smallpox vaccine in this way. It really chilled the hearts of the people.

"Mr. Ge, I want to build momentum for my father in the capital and Jiangnan. I want to say that my father voluntarily contracted the plague to save the people, and tried with you to find a cure for smallpox. Finally, after many experiments on my father, we successfully obtained cowpox to fight smallpox. This is to make you agree to these statements against your will."

"You have given me all the credit for the smallpox vaccine. I have benefited so much from you. What you said are just small matters. As long as it can help Magistrate Tian, ​​I will have no problem with it. I will also mobilize other doctors to publicize your father's righteous deeds. Our Hu County doctors are famous throughout Lin'an Prefecture this time. It is only right to let everyone build momentum for your father. He is indeed the first person to use this smallpox vaccine, and it is not an exaggeration."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Ge. I'll ask our father and the others to prepare as well."

After discussing with Doctor Ge, Tian Xing'er informed Magistrate Tian of the matter. She herself had no power in the capital and was worried that the news would be suppressed. She hoped that her grandparents would also take action. "Dad, you have already agreed with Old Ge, and he will also help us spread the word in Lin'an Prefecture. We can then spread the word to the whole of Jiangnan. You and Grandfather can also spread the word in the capital at the same time. Then, let Grandfather find someone to speak well of you in the court. That will make things better, right?"

Magistrate Tian felt comforted. "Dad is seriously ill this time, you brothers and sisters have done enough for Dad. Your eldest brother has asked your grandfather to work in the capital. Your idea is also very good. I will send someone to tell him. He knows how to do it. You guys have been tired during this period. After this, just study hard. Dad will take care of it."

Soon after, more and more rumors about the plague incident spread in the capital. Some people demanded a thorough investigation into the matter of Magistrate Tian, ​​but the emperor suppressed the matter, using the upcoming imperial examinations as an excuse. Some people in the court even began to commend Magistrate Tian for his achievements.

In the bedroom of Concubine Jiang in the harem

"It's outrageous that there are people who are trying to get credit for that County Magistrate Tian. He deserves to die. He deserves to die. He should be buried with my Jing'er." Imperial Concubine Jiang was furious in her bedroom at this time.

"Sister, you must punish County Magistrate Tian. He stole Jing'er's life. You must let His Majesty sentence him to death." The one who spoke was the beautiful woman from Jiangning Mansion that day, the legal wife of Jiangning Wang. She was the younger sister of Concubine Jiang and had only one daughter who was engaged to Prince Jing. She had watched Prince Jing grow up since he was a child and treated him as her own son.

"It's all because of these ministers. I had already persuaded His Majesty, but now they have launched a thorough investigation of the plague. By the way, have you dealt with those people?"

"Don't worry, sister. I have dealt with them. People who shouldn't say it won't say it, and people who shouldn't exist won't exist. So what is your Majesty's attitude now?"

"How dare you guess what His Majesty is thinking?" Concubine Jiang glared at her sister.

"Sister, I have a suggestion. Why not demote him to the north? I heard it's very cold there and the journey is long. Who knows if he can survive? Even if he is lucky enough to survive, there are frequent invasions by foreign enemies and the people are poor. He is a civil servant and cannot make a name for himself there. He can only stay there for the rest of his life."

"It was your husband who taught you this. His suggestion is quite good. I will ask someone to propose it." Concubine Jiang chuckled.

Soon someone in the court proposed to demote Magistrate Tian to the north, and this resolution was quickly agreed to by the emperor, who withdrew from the court directly, citing grief over the death of the prince. On the same day, the palace quickly issued an imperial edict to Hu County, and the matter was settled.

Less than half a month later, Magistrate Tian received the imperial edict. Although Magistrate Tian was well prepared, he was overwhelmed with emotions when he received it. The edict was issued very quickly, catching everyone off guard. In this way, Magistrate Tian would soon go to Yingzhou to take up his post.

During this period, Tian Xing'er arranged her own property in the county. Tian Mansion was the property of County Magistrate Tian, ​​which was bought in the beginning. Master Li would live in Tian Mansion in the future and help Tian Xing'er look after it. The food street was still managed by Chen Dongsheng. Although the business was not as good as before, it still made good profits. Tian Xing'er also kept Liu Qin. Her father was old, and Tian Xing'er did not want to separate them. She also had someone to help with the accounts.

Magistrate Tian asked his eldest son to stay in the city to take the autumn exam and not to go with them. On the day of departure, all the classmates from the academy came to see the Tian brothers and sisters off, and many people came too. Although there were some rumors about Magistrate Tian in Hu County before, and many people died of the plague, the people still believed what they saw and felt. It was Magistrate Tian who kept the people alive during the flood, and Magistrate Tian also made their lives much better, and the people were grateful.

When Magistrate Tian and his family appeared near the city gate early in the morning, they saw a huge crowd of people. The roads were crowded with people who came to see them off. They all carried things to give to Magistrate Tian. Seeing this scene, everyone in the Tian family was deeply moved. This period of time was worth it. Seeing more and more people coming, Magistrate Tian said, "Thank you, fellow villagers. There is no need to give gifts. Having you see me off is the greatest gift. Can everyone go back early?"

The road to the city gate was less than 5 miles, but it took more than half an hour to walk. When they arrived outside the city, the people still saw them off. They saw them off for another 5 miles before they gradually left. About an hour after Magistrate Tian left, a group of people ran out of the city. The leader was scolding the people around him, "You kid, why didn't you call me? Look at you, you useless people made me unable to catch up with Magistrate Tian and his people. They have been walking for several hours, and you just came to tell me what you ordered last night. Why don't you learn from your mistakes?"

"Brother, you can't blame me. We were all so happy yesterday that we drank too much and missed the time."
