Shen Li's heart was in suspense. The situation was really too bad. She didn't know how to solve the crisis. Just as she was thinking about this, she found that Weng Jianye seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

She looked out through the crack in the door.

She found him looking down, thinking about something. Was it because of her words?

"Master Weng, you have to think about it carefully. Blood is thicker than water. No matter how loyal you are, how can you catch up with the blood relationship of others? Even if they have conflicts now, it is their family affairs. Who knows when they will resolve their differences?"

"Don't try to deceive me here. You are just afraid of death."

"It's true that I'm afraid of death, but Lord Weng, what I said is not a lie, otherwise you wouldn't be shaken, right?" Shen Li knew that these words would not delay for long. Once Weng Jianye reacted, he would most likely set a fire.

Gu Chengji is a hypocrite. If he cannot convince Qin Yu, he will definitely choose to get rid of him. A man like him, who has gone from being penniless to being extremely powerful now, how could he allow someone who could shake his power to live.

Even his own son was no exception. After all, he had already killed him once, so why would he care about killing him again?

She glanced at Qin Yu and found that he had been writing something on paper. It seemed that he had really thought of the key point.

Shen Li was so anxious that she kept pacing back and forth in the yard. She couldn't delay for much longer.

I took a look at the people lying in the yard. There were no beds to lie on. Everyone just found a place to lie down. Some huddled in the corners, some lay under the walls, and the house was also filled with people lying in all directions.

Everyone in the room was seriously ill, and most of them were unconscious.

These people have been through so much and are so pitiful. Why can't we give them a chance to survive?

"Miss Shen, you... and Lord Qin don't have to worry about us, just run away." A woman lying in the corner said weakly.

"Yes, you have done enough for us. We can't drag you down any longer. Just try to escape through the back door. We are already in this situation. Even if we are not burned to death, we will not survive for long." said another person.

Shen Li felt extremely upset when she saw them like this, but after all, it was probably she and Qin Yu who implicated them.

"Everyone, don't give up. Lord Qin has already found the key point. Once he figures it out, we will be saved. As for the people outside, I will find a way. Don't worry."

She had no other choice, but what else could she say?

"Ms. Shen, I advise you not to waste your time. You almost fooled me. Now I finally have such an opportunity. Do you think I will give it up? Come on, set fire to it." Weng Jianye said decisively.

Shen Li's heart started pounding. Was he really going to die in the hands of this villain today?

"Sir Weng, aren't Qin Yu and I your targets? How about we talk? Qin Yu and I will give you our lives, and you will let the people here go and find a doctor to heal them?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? They are all people who have the plague. Without them as a cover, if you die, how can I explain to the emperor? You must all die."

"We can only repay Miss Shen and Lord Qin for their kindness in the next life." The woman barely supported herself and knelt down, kowtowed to Shen Li.

The other people in the yard also struggled to kneel down and kowtow to Shen Li.

"Don't be like this. To be honest, we are not capable enough to save you."

"No, we have seen all of your efforts for us. If you hadn't wanted to save us, you wouldn't have stayed here. We are a burden to you," said the woman.

At this time, Weng Jianye was heard shouting outside the gate: "I told you to light the fire, why don't you move? I am following the emperor's order, how dare you disobey him?"

"It was Lord Qin and Miss Shen who saved us from the flood. Without them, we would have starved to death long ago, so we cannot burn them to death." said a yamen runner.

"Yes, Miss Shen brought food and saved so many of us. Now there is a plague. Lord Qin and Miss Shen locked themselves up with the sick in order to develop medicine to save everyone. If we burn them now, do we still have a conscience?" said another yamen official.

"Yes, we can't be ungrateful."

All the yamen runners nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you want to rebel? Believe it or not, I will deal with you now?" Weng Jianye said angrily.

"Even so, we can't burn our benefactor to death."

"You...you guys are great." Weng Jianye said gritting his teeth.

Shen Li naturally heard these words. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but something unexpected happened at this moment. Qin Yu suddenly fell to the ground.

She hurriedly ran to him, squatted on the ground, and held him in her arms: "What...what happened?" At this moment, Shen Li himself didn't even notice that his voice was trembling.

"Ah...Ali, I...succeeded." Qin Yu said these words with all his strength and then fainted.

Shen Li touched his forehead and found it was very hot. As expected, he was also infected.

This is what she has been worried about. His physical condition was not good to begin with, and he had not had enough rest. In such an environment, it was a miracle that he could hold on until now.

But fortunately, it is not a hopeless situation. There is still good news. There is a prescription for curing the disease, so everyone can be saved.

She found a quilt, spread it on the ground, and then dragged Qin Yu onto the quilt.

Then I went to look at the prescription written by Qin Yu. It was very messy, but if I read it carefully, I could figure out the prescription.

"Ali, are you okay?"

This is?

Shen Li hurried to the door and looked out through the crack: "Brother Jin, you are finally here."

"Ah Li, I'm sorry for making you suffer. I've already had Weng Jianye arrested. I'll lock him up later. Don't worry. Tell me if you need anything and I'll get it to you."

"Brother Jin, I'm fine here, but Qin Yu has been infected."

"What should we do? If no one develops the medicine, won't everyone just have to wait to die?" Jin Duobao said anxiously.

"Before Qin Yu fainted, he had already developed the prescription. I have sorted it out. Brother Jin, I told you to write down the medicine on the prescription and bring it to me." As he spoke, Shen Li read out the ingredients in the prescription.

"Okay, I remember. I'll go now. Ah Li, you have to hold on."

"I will." Shen Li glanced at Qin Yu lying on the ground, and the people lying elsewhere. They were finally saved.

Jin Duobao acted quickly and delivered all the medicinal herbs in the evening.

Shen Li had been with Qin Yu for such a long time that she naturally knew how to decoct and boil medicine. She immediately started boiling the medicine and then fed it to everyone. Xiaolan also helped to serve and feed the medicine.

We were busy until almost dawn, and finally everyone got the medicine.
