I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

After Song Jin drank the medicine to protect her pregnancy, she asked Qin Qi to invite Old Man Hong over. "Uncle Hong, tell me in detail about my husband's situation."

Old Man Hong was relieved to see Song Jin calm down so quickly. As long as he could handle it, it would be good. "This news came from the spy in Suzhou Prefecture. I am sending someone to contact the young master. The news will come in two days. Madam, just wait."

Now Old Man Hong is afraid that Song Jin will act on impulse.

What I am most afraid of is that she is determined to go to the Taihu disaster area now.

You have to know that the journey is not short, and the fastest round trip will take more than a month. They received the news in the capital saying "time is running out", and by the time they hurried over, the flowers were already cold.

Song Jin had a question in his mind, "Shouldn't there be someone watching Uncle Hong?"

"Did Madam misunderstand me?"

Old Man Hong suddenly asked back.

Song Jin looked at Old Man Hong in confusion.

Seeing that she really didn't understand, Old Man Hong said, "As a subordinate, you must first understand your position. It is taboo to spy on the master's whereabouts and secrets, let alone put spies next to the master. What I knew before was what the master told me to know, or what I needed to complete, and it was all my job."

He still has some power in his hands.

Qin Chi gave him the responsibility.

At this moment, Song Jin hoped that he would overstep his authority so that she could know the specific situation on Qin Chi's side.

The news the two received was what was rumored by the outside world.

This gave Song Jin hope.

The rumors that Qin Chi was dying and had not much time left had happened to him more than once or twice.

Song Jin, who was worried, didn't know.

……

The affected areas of Taihu Lake.

In a simple courtyard.

There are Jinyiwei guarding in front of the courtyard gate.

A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafts through the hospital every day. Qin Chi has been ill for about half a month. In addition to the doctor who was invited, his condition has concerned many people.

Just like the people affected by the Taihu Lake disaster.

People outside only knew that Lord Qin fell ill due to overwork and disaster relief, and some people took the initiative to pray for him in the temple.

This cannot be blamed on the people for not loving Qin Chi.

Taihu Lake was hit by disasters not once or twice, but every now and then. The only difference is the size of the disaster.

This year's is particularly severe.

The death toll is the lowest ever.

A big reason was that the disaster relief officials either did practical work or just dealt with it. Qin Chi not only brought a large amount of supplies, but also specially assigned people to keep an eye on the supplies, avoiding corruption and delivering the supplies to the people affected by the disaster.

Finally, the problem of food shortage was solved, thus avoiding unrest among the people due to lack of livelihood and hope. Now the people's lives are gradually recovering, and they have received seeds distributed by the government and started spring ploughing.

Originally this was a good thing.

Qin Chi suddenly fell ill and his condition became serious.

There are rumors out there that it’s due to overwork.

Qin Chi's reputation and prestige in this area have increased significantly.

"Have you checked it out?"

Qin Chi is bedridden and has a mild cough.

Qin Ba, who was standing by, reported back, "Sir, the person who poisoned the place was caught and the blame was put on County Magistrate Yang. When County Magistrate Yang heard that there was a reward for his contribution, he was very happy and accepted it."

"Good."

Qin Chi guessed without hesitation that the person who poisoned him was secretly sent by Minister Yuan. "Just say that I survived the disaster thanks to County Magistrate Yang."

"Yes, I will have someone do it right away."

Qin Ba took the order and hurried out.

He went out not to solve the problem, but to inform Qin Yi and other secret guards hiding outside.

Due to the appearance of the Jinyiwei, Qin Chi ordered all the secret guards to withdraw, otherwise people would not have found a loophole and put poison in the medicine.

The cause of this incident was fatigue in winter, coupled with physical weakness. It was true that Qin Chi was sick, but it was not as serious as the outside world said. He just caught a cold.

With Doctor Xiaojing's care, he was recovering well.

Qin Chi deliberately said that to others because someone tampered with his medicine and added raw arisaema.

Raw arisaema is poisonous. Poisoned people will experience numbness of the lips and tongue, a burning sensation in the throat, loss of taste, dizziness, palpitations, numbness of the limbs, and in severe cases, coma and convulsions.

The amount placed by the other party is not large.

Some people just want to create the illusion that Qin Chi died of illness.

Fortunately, Doctor Xiao Jing checked Qin Chi before he took the medicine, so a disaster was avoided.

Qin Chi could only take advantage of the situation.

Order people to find out who poisoned him.

Later, it was discovered that the family was closely related to the Yuan family. Qin Chi did not expose the truth directly, but instead involved a county magistrate named Yang, and wanted to put all the credit on him.

This county magistrate is a descendant of the Yang family's side branch.

In order to guide this person to catch the person who poisoned the food, Qin Chi took great pains.

The reason is that this person is too stupid.

Even though all the evidence was given to him, it still took him half a month to catch the person who poisoned the person.

One cannot help but wonder whether he became the county magistrate through a backdoor.

Qin Chi had already received news that the Yuan family was secretly investigating evidence of Yang Lingyu's crimes while serving as prefect of Huizhou, and that he had not done nothing in the disaster relief work in Taihu Lake.

Arrange for someone to send the evidence out without leaving any trace.

The people from the Yuan family who came to investigate this time really had some good gains.

Qin Chi calculated the time and thought that when he returned to the capital, it was estimated that the matter of Yuan Shangshu poisoning him would be reported by Yang County Magistrate, which would deepen the feud between the Yuan and Yang families. When Yuan Shangshu got the evidence against Yang Lingyu, he would definitely not show mercy.

At this time, a sound of footsteps was heard.

"Hey, is Master Qin feeling better?"

The person who came here was County Magistrate Yang, who walked in with a big belly and a flattering look on his face.

Qin Chi said weakly but politely: "You are too polite, County Magistrate Yang. Thanks to you, I finally saved my life. Has the person who poisoned me been found out?"

"It's under investigation. Sir Qin, please rest assured that I will make sure to investigate the matter thoroughly for you." The person arrested by County Magistrate Yang was a manager in the kitchen of the yamen.

This person's family was taken away.

In order to threaten him, he poisoned Qin Chi's medicine.

County Magistrate Yang sat for a while before leaving with satisfaction. He hurried to the yamen to urge the chief constable to handle the case.

Qin Yi had no choice but to have someone pretend to be a passerby and lead the captain to the place where the prisoner's family was trapped. He caught several accomplices, and then it took another two days to catch the person behind the scenes.

In fact, every time, it was Qin Chi’s people who intervened behind the scenes.

The person behind the scenes is just a confidant cultivated by the Yuan family.

When he was captured, he wanted to commit suicide. However, Qin Yi and others were familiar with the method and easily stopped him. They took his portrait and began to investigate his whereabouts during that period.

Qin Chi used some tricks.

The medicine Song Jin gave him would cause hallucinations in people. Using this method to interrogate people might not be 100% accurate, but it might reveal the real culprit.

So, Minister Yuan thought he was hidden.

Finally it was exposed!

What’s more, County Magistrate Yang is a young and inexperienced person.

After Qin Chi fooled him for a few words, he wrote a memorial pointing out that the Yuan family sent people to poison the disaster relief officials.
