Chapter 217 The Plague
Just when Jing Ran hadn't made up his mind, Wang Ningzhi came back, and just as Wang Ningzhi stood still, the two personal soldiers also came back.Now, even if he wanted to save him, he couldn't.

The soldier said: "My lord, the imperially-appointed prisoner is not allowed to visit, but you have not been here for a short time today, so you should leave as soon as possible."

Wang Ningzhi gently tugged on Jing Ran's sleeve, signaling her to leave. Jing Ran held back her tears, not letting the tears burst to avoid arousing the suspicion of the soldiers, and walked out of the prison step by step.

When approaching the prison gate, Jing Ran returned to look at Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu gave Jing Ran a gentle smile, opened and closed her mouth, and said two words, "Save him!"

Perhaps, being a parent is like this. When life and death are at stake, what you think of is not yourself, but your child. Jing Ran is now a mother, and she can somewhat understand the feelings of Liu Yi and his wife.

It was much easier to visit Liu Zhuo, Liu Yi's only son, because Liu Zhuo was not a repeat offender and the guards were very lax.

When Wang Ningzhi went with Jing Ran, Jing Ran arrived at the door of the cell with several bottles of good wine and side dishes.Jing Ran said to the guards: "You two adults have worked hard, this is the food and drink that our Lord Wang gave to the two elder brothers."

The two soldiers immediately went to drink and eat meat, completely forgetting their duties.

Wang Ningzhi said: "If you have anything else to tell this child, go ahead and talk about it, we can't stay here for long."

Jing Ran saw the little Liu Zhuo huddled in a ball, she was very distressed, she stepped forward and said: "Liu Zhuo, I am a friend of your parents, and your mother asked me to bring you these three pills." , You see, even the handkerchiefs that wrap them are belongings of your mother, your mother said that you have not been feeling well recently, and asked me to buy this medicine for you."

Liu Zhuo had never seen Jing Ran before, his eyes were full of guard, and he refused to take the pill when he saw it.

Wang Ningzhi walked over and said, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Jing Ran said: "I don't know either. Her mother said it was a tonic. She was worried that Zhuo'er would not be able to take it, so I asked him to take it."

Wang Ningzhi said to Liu Zhuo: "You don't know her, you should know me, right? I am your Uncle Wang, I often go to your house, you must have seen me."

Liu Zhuo looked at Wang Ningzhi seriously, nodded and said, "I know you, you are my father's friend."

Wang Ningzhi said: "Yes, your father and I are best friends. Since your mother gave this medicine, you should take it obediently, so that she can rest assured."

Liu Zhuo took the three pills from Jing Ran's hand and swallowed them in one gulp.Seeing that he was convinced, Jing Ran turned around and walked out of the prison with Wang Ningzhi.

That night, news came from the prison that Liu Zhuo had the plague, and all the soldiers stayed away for a while, unwilling to approach Liu Zhuo's cell.

The leader of the personal army invited three doctors from the city, and they all said that this was a plague, and it must be dealt with quickly to prevent it from infecting the people in the city.

No soldiers were willing to deal with this hot potato, so it was handed over to Wang Ningzhi's yamen servants. The yamen servants also complained endlessly and were unwilling to take care of it, for fear that someone who was not paying attention would be infected with the plague.

Jing Ran and Cao Rui walked into Wang Ningzhi's study wearing the clothes of government servants, and Wang Ningzhi asked in surprise, "What's the meaning of you two dressed like this?"

Jing Ran said: "I heard that Liu Yi's son got the plague. I want to take care of him personally. I have studied medicine, so I don't know if I can save him."

Wang Ningzhi said: "If you get the plague, you will definitely die. I haven't heard that anyone can be rescued. I advise you not to take this risk. The soldiers and officials are not willing to deal with him now. This plague is easy to be infected."

Jing Ran said, "I'm not afraid, let the two of us deal with Liu Zhuo."

Wang Ningzhi said: "This is cruel. In order to prevent the plague from spreading and hurting the people in the city, Liu Zhuo must be burned. Can you do it?"

Jing Ran nodded and said, "Okay."
