The magistrate of Furongzhou was called Huang Xingliang.

Hearing his subordinate's report, Huang Xingliang hurriedly said, "The divine doctor of Minggu is actually in Furongzhou. What are you waiting for? Quickly invite them in."

The plague was so severe that they couldn't find the cause yet. However, people were already dying. Even the best doctors in Furongzhou were involved, but they were still helpless.

Huang Xingliang also reported the matter to the imperial court.

He hoped that the imperial court would send an imperial physician. After all, it was only seven days from the time one was infected to his death. He did not dare to be negligent.

Apart from controlling the plague and preventing it from erupting, he could only try his best to save those infected.

The capital was too far away. It would take time to send the imperial physician over. Distant water could not extinguish a nearby fire. Now that a divine doctor had come, it was undoubtedly a great thing.

Huang Xingliang asked the servants to welcome Su Xiaolu respectfully into the magistrate's residence. When Su Xiaolu arrived in front of him, he was dumbfounded. "Why is it a child? Are you fooling me!"

Su Xiaolu was neither servile nor overbearing. She said calmly, "I'm the successor of Minggu Medical Valley and have already graduated. My Master is older, but he's not here. If he was, he might not have shown himself either. I'm just a beginner. Be it a plague or a strange illness, it's the best time for me to train."

Huang Xingliang sized up Su Xiaolu and said doubtfully, "I heard that the divine doctor has divine needles that are fine to the touch. Do you have them? I've never seen the divine doctor either. You have to prove something to make me believe you, right?"

Huang Xingliang kept staring at Su Xiaolu, wanting to see something from her face.

However, Su Xiaolu's expression was calm. She picked up the needle bag and took out a silver needle. With a light flick, the silver needle flew out, scaring Huang Xingliang and the guard beside him.

Several armed guards drew their swords and guarded against Su Xiaolu.

"The divine needle is here. Sir, look carefully."

Su Xiaolu said calmly.

On the table in front of Huang Xingliang, there was already a silver needle firmly inserted. The silver needle was a small finger deep into the table and was still trembling.

Huang Xingliang was shocked that Su Xiaolu was so capable. He looked at the silver needles in front of him and believed Su Xiaolu's identity, he still had doubts about Su Xiaolu's medical skills. Was the divine doctor really that amazing?

"Miss, you're so capable. I believe in your identity. Please help me eradicate the plague and save the people of Furongzhou."

Huang Xingliang cupped his hands at Su Xiaolu and said solemnly.

"Thank you for your trust, sir. I'll do my best to find the root cause."

Su Xiaolu walked towards Huang Xingliang. The guards were very vigilant.

Huang Xingliang looked into Su Xiaolu's eyes and waved his hand. "Don't be so nervous. If the divine doctor wants to kill me, you won't be able to protect me."

If the silver needle had landed on his body instead of the table, he would not have been able to escape.

In front of a true expert, the few people around him were still not enough.

Su Xiaolu took out the silver needles and put them away. She said calmly, "There's no time to lose. Please arrange for me to go over now."

Huang Xingliang arranged for a constable to follow Su Xiaolu and listen to her instructions.
