After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

To be on the safe side, Lin Chuyi asked him to press several pieces of white paper. Afterwards, he cleaned off the traces left on Zhao Yongxin's fingers and put all the things that did not belong here into the space.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Lin Chuyi pulled out the silver needle inserted into the woman's body and left the room as quietly as he came.

Lin Chuyi did not leave the yard immediately, but went into Zhao Yongxin's study. According to his previous description, he successfully found and opened the entrance to the underground secret room.

Lin Chuyi saw more than a dozen boxes of various sizes in the secret room, all filled with gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques. Lin Chuyi made a rough estimate that these things were worth at least one million taels of silver.

This is just one of the hiding places. If we turn out the things in all three places, it would cost a lot of silver.

In addition to these hard currencies, Zhao Yongxin also owns a number of farms and shops, which have been helping him make money.

Most of these industries were seized by Zhao Yongxin from other people. Anything he set his eyes on would eventually end up in his hands.

Most of the people he targeted would not have a good ending. Their homes would be searched for various reasons, and their properties would be confiscated and become his private property after a transfer procedure.

In the past few years, when Zhao Yongxin's position was not yet stable, he was more restrained in what he did and took his time to achieve what he wanted.

The original Lanzhou prefect was about to end his term, and he knew that Zhao Yongxin was a vindictive person. He didn't want to offend him, so he turned a blind eye.

Zhao Yongxin is very good at judging people and acting in a way that suits them. Seeing that his immediate superior had no intention of intervening, he acted even more unscrupulously.

Now he is directly targeting the people's food bags. With his style of doing things, even if my business is successful, I am afraid that he will target me sooner or later.

Rather than being caught off guard, it would be better for her to strike first and seek justice for those who have been persecuted in advance.

Lin Chuyi did not touch the treasures immediately, but confirmed the existence of the account books.

Zhao Yongxin is a suspicious person by nature. The reason why he left these account books behind was to use them as bargaining chips to threaten others. If something happened to him, none of those who also participated in the fraud would be in trouble.

She didn't know when Zhao Yongxin would enter the secret room, so these things could not be moved for the time being, so as not to alert the other party and make him alert. Any defense would be counterproductive.

After confirming that the things were consistent with what Zhao Yongxin said, she left the secret room, returned to her room in the inn along the same route, went into the space to take a shower and sleep.

This back and forth delayed her sleep for two hours, making her extremely sleepy.

The next day, Zhao Yongxin found that his throat was not feeling well as soon as he opened his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he found that his throat was very painful. He reached out to touch his lips and found that the corners of his mouth were cracked.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Yongxin frightened himself as soon as he opened his mouth. Was this rough and hoarse voice really coming from him?

Zhao Yongxin sat up directly. The woman beside him was awakened by his action. When she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw her master sitting on the bed with a gloomy face. She didn't know what he was thinking.

She was shocked and didn't care about the pain in her body. She quickly pulled a piece of underwear from the side and put it on. She climbed out of bed and prepared to help Zhao Yongxin put on his clothes.

I was also shocked when I first saw Zhao Yongxin's pale and chapped lips.

"Oh my God, sir, what's wrong with you?"

"I..." Zhao Yongxin now felt extremely painful even swallowing his saliva. Opening his mouth to speak was like having a knife stabbed into his throat. He covered his neck and said, "Water!"

"Hey! I'll bring you some water right away." The concubine hurried to the table to pour water for Zhao Yongxin. The water in the pot was from yesterday, but the concubine could not care less and hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Yongxin.

Zhao Yongxin didn't have time to worry about the problem of overnight water at this time. He took the water and drank it in big gulps. It was difficult for him to swallow, but he finally drank the whole glass of water.

The cool water flowed down his throat into his stomach, and Zhao Yongxin immediately felt much more comfortable. He put his hand on his neck, looked at his concubine and spoke word by word: "Go... find... the... doctor!"

"I understand." The concubine quickly put on her clothes, opened the door and asked the maids and servants waiting at the door to go out and call the doctor. She went back to help Zhao Yongxin put on his clothes.

Doctor Chen came over quickly with a medicine box, checked Zhao Yongxin's throat symptoms, and took his pulse.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Yongxin had been frowning since the whole morning. Before the doctor came, he drank a few glasses of cold water. His throat was no longer as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning, but it was still very difficult for him to speak.

The doctor thought for a moment, glanced at the woman standing beside him, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhao Yongxin understood what he meant and waved his hand to signal the concubine to leave. The concubine did not dare to disobey Zhao Yongxin, so she bowed and left the room, closing the door.

After the doctor saw the man leave, he spoke carefully, "Sir, you have been overly tired recently and have not had enough rest, which has caused your body's resistance to decline, resulting in inflammation. In addition, you have been taking medicine too frequently recently, and the accumulation of medicine has caused liver fire in your body, which is also one of the main reasons. I will prescribe some prescriptions for you later. You must take the medicine on time and drink more water on weekdays to help your body regulate itself."

Doctor Chen was a frequent visitor to this mansion, so he naturally knew Zhao Yongxin's temper. This matter was hard to explain, but as a doctor, he still had to say what he should say, so he gritted his teeth and spoke again.

"Sir, taking too much of that medicine will cause great harm to your body. It is better to take as little as possible, especially during this period. You can't take it anymore."

After Doctor Chen finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zhao Yongxin.

When Zhao Yongxin heard what Doctor Chen said, his face didn't look very good. He didn't want to take medicine either. He played too hard when he was young and his body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex. Now he couldn't last long without taking medicine.

If the news that he was not able to do it got out, how would he save his face? Doctor Chen was a famous doctor in the city. The master of the mansion had always gone to him for treatment when he was sick, and he still believed in his medical skills.

Zhao Yongxin naturally knew that all medicines are poisonous. Doctor Chen never mentioned this matter when he treated him in the past. It seems that he needs to be more restrained.

After Zhao Yongxin figured it out, his ugly expression eased a lot, "I see. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Chen."

"It's not hard, it's my duty."

Doctor Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear Zhao Yongxin getting angry. He said goodbye to Zhao Yongxin and went out to write a prescription.
