「Half an hour later, in the rear courtyard of the County Magistrate's Office.」
When Chang Younian, seated at the head of the room, heard that all the medicinal materials in the building had been taken, his reaction completely surprised Qi Yue and Wang Tianfeng.
There was no explosive rage, no reprimand as they'd expected. Instead, the County Magistrate spoke in a calm voice:
"Very well. I understand. Qi Yue, take your men and begin requisitioning all medicinal materials from the city's storehouses tomorrow. Inform all the citizens and the refugees outside the walls that the doctors have developed a treatment for the plague. In three days, everyone can take it. There isn't much, but it will be enough to suppress the symptoms for a time. After another three days, more medicinal materials will arrive from other regions.
