After Li Wei had traveled to this world, what he most wanted to deal with wasn't actually serial murder or any other sort of criminal case. It was those damned doctors.
Because murder was illegal, but these doctors were killing people legally!
In this era, their standard treatments were bloodletting and enemas.
If the patient survived, it proved their medical skill.
If the patient didn't, it was because the patient had a weak constitution and corrupt morals.
That's right. They somehow dragged fucking morality into it!
According to the medicine of this era, infectious diseases such as cholera were miasmatic illnesses caused by poisonous gases released by rotting matter, and the best remedy was to purify the air. They also claimed these diseases only struck people with weak constitutions and corrupt morals. Respectable citizens had nothing to fear as long as they maintained their respectability.
So according to these quacks, getting sick meant you had corrupt morals, saving you meant they had superb medical skills, and failing to save you meant your moral standards weren't good enough?
In the modern world, these bastards would have been lucky not to get stabbed to death.
Unfortunately, Li Wei knew nothing about medicine himself, so there was nothing he could do.
That was, until he brought Annie, with her Biotechnology, back from the other world. Then he immediately had a new idea.
He would seize this opportunity to wipe out those ancient menaces once and for all!
The Annie from the other world-let's call her Big Annie-hadn't let him down, either. During the Empire's war, the biological treatments she invented had done a great deal to keep soldiers alive, earning her considerable attention from the military. With Li Wei quietly helping things along, traditional medicine had effectively been driven out of the military
