I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Chapter 330 Qin Chi’s Selfishness

A team of horse-drawn carriages drove slowly along the official road.

The carriage in the center does not look outstanding on the surface, but if you look closely you will find that its body is made of finely carved top-quality mahogany.

The interior of the car is covered with soft carpets that feel warm and delicate. The backrests are carved with lifelike birds and animals that seem to be ready to jump out of the wooden frame and fly high at any time.

The interior of the carriage is spacious.

A palace lantern hung from the ceiling, emitting a soft yellow light, reflecting the curling smoke from the golden incense burner in the car. Several elegantly bound books were scattered casually on the small table, and next to it was a small teapot, emitting a faint tea fragrance.

There was a brocade cloak on the couch, which was gorgeous and heavy. A lifelike peony was embroidered on the corner of the cloak, and there seemed to be dewdrops between the petals.

Occasionally, the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling could be heard outside the car window, but all this did not affect the quiet and comfortable atmosphere inside the car at all.

In a corner of the carriage, Qin Chi was reading a book.

Occasionally, he raised his head to look at Song Jin, who was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is the carriage he specially arranged.

Just to make her feel a little more comfortable during the journey, and it seems to be working well so far.

Took a nap in the carriage.

It was almost noon when Song Jin woke up.

The team stopped and settled in a village.

"Husband, what are you doing..." Song Jin saw Uncle Li and others moving things.

Qin Chi smiled and said, "Stop here and rest for an hour."

“We have just started.”

Song Jin wanted to say how long he had just been sitting in the carriage, and after taking a nap, he didn't feel tired at all.

Qin Chi insisted on taking a rest.

Song Jin joked, "At this rate, you won't be able to return to Huizhou in two months."

"We are not in a hurry, so we can walk slowly and treat it as a picnic."

Qin Chi did not say outside that she did not want to see the follow-up of the Yuan and Yang families. If she walked slowly, she could also pay attention to the things happening in the capital. She helped Song Jin into the manor and settled down in a house.

He leaned close to Song Jin's ear and whispered, "I heard that Lord Yang submitted a letter of resignation."

"Is he retreating to advance?"

Song Jin guessed it almost without thinking.

Qin Chi thought that his wife really thought the same as him, "Your Majesty has suppressed the memorial."

This was not approved.

Song Jin looked puzzled and asked, "What does your majesty think?"

"I guess it's not stimulating enough?"

Qin Chi's previous impressions of Emperor Ming Cheng mostly came from the knowledge of his elders, so his initial impression was not good. After all, few of his elders had a good impression of Emperor Ming Cheng. Of course, he had no idea what attitude his grandfather, whom he had never met, had towards Emperor Ming Cheng.

Among the people he had come into contact with since childhood, such as Old Li, Old Huo, and Shopkeeper Tao, they all had a bad impression of the emperor.

The three of them had served in the military in the northwest.

Being a soldier in the northwest is very hard. The imperial court often withholds military pay and food. Some soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but instead froze to death or starved to death. It would be strange that they would have a good impression of the emperor.

Over time, Qin Chi was affected.

Coupled with the experiences of his maternal grandparents and mother, Qin Chi had an even worse impression of Emperor Ming Cheng.

He plotted against Emperor Cheng of Ming.

According to his idea, he would not tolerate the Yang family.

Song Jin didn't understand the situation as well as Qin Chi, but he still had some ideas, "Sir, do you want to add more fuel to the fire for the Yang family?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Chi didn't understand for a moment.

Song Jin lowered his voice and said, "Jianning Liu family, Yang Lingyu's wife's surname is Liu."

"The Liu family has stationed troops and cannot be exposed." Qin Chi said something that surprised Song Jin.

Song Jin knew that as soon as this matter was exposed.

The Yang family couldn't escape no matter what.

Qin Chi was silent for a long while, opened his mouth, and finally uttered: "One move affects the whole body, and Jianning has long been out of control."

Qin Chi gradually obtained information from Jianning.

There are not only government troops and government offices over there, which are nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in fact they can break away and become independent at any time. It is no longer something that can be described as having their own troops and being independent.

But he didn't know how to tell Song Jin all this.

What's more, Qin Chi had selfish motives, which were unspeakable.

Not only did he not report the affairs of the Yang family to the court, he did not even intend to inform Emperor Ming Cheng of the existence of the former crown prince and Mr. Yan.

Qin Chi saw Song Jin's expression and knew that she was suspicious. His wife was so smart that she must have guessed something. After all, if Emperor Mingcheng knew about what was happening in Jianning, he should have taken action long ago.

Qin Chi suppressed the evidence from that year.

He has to wait for the right time to expose it.

After resting in Zhuangzi.

The group continued their journey, heading towards Zhangjiawan.

Qin Chi meant to go through the canal port and take a big ship for a while, and if they get tired of taking the ship, they can change to land transportation.

Everything is based on the situation of Song Brocade.

Whenever the carriage bumped, the hanging lanterns would sway gently, casting a slightly swaying halo, like flowing amber, adding a bit of liveliness and warmth to the carriage.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind me.

It stopped when it got close, and then Qin Ba's voice came from the left side of the car window: "Sir, there is an urgent matter."

Qin Chi opened the car window and took the secret letter from Qin Ba. After reading the contents of the letter, his expression changed slightly. "The Yang family is very cunning!"

"What happened?"

Song Jin looked at the letter in his hand.

Qin Chi handed the letter to Song Jin.

Song Jin took it and looked down at it.

The general content was that one of Yang Lingyu's former superiors, a certain provincial governor, became a scapegoat and committed suicide by taking poison the day before the official appointed by the court to investigate arrived.

Before his death, he knew that he was deeply sinful and confessed his crimes.

The Song family case was taken over by him.

Not to mention Qin Chi was furious, even Song Jin was furious, "These people simply have no law."

"The king's law is just a sharp weapon."

Qin Chi didn't want to talk about others. In fact, he didn't have the same feeling in his heart, but he wouldn't say it in front of Song Jin.

The law is just a tool in Qin Chi's hands.

Song Jin was in a bad mood. "Were we just going to watch Yang Lingyu get away with it?"

"He won't be able to get out of prison, don't worry, ma'am."

Qin Chi comforted.

Song Jin didn't understand.

Qin Chi continued, "The Yuan family used the Song family's name to impeach Yang Lingyu because the case was big enough. In fact, even if Yang Lingyu got rid of this suspicion, he still couldn't escape the blame. Because after the Song family disappeared, many more cases occurred, among which 37 people were killed and nine people were disabled."

The nine disabled people are the victims.

Yang Lingyu, who was the prefect at the time, did nothing.

It's impossible for him to clear his name just by this.

In the Song family case, according to the law he could have his property confiscated and beheaded. The current case is also enough to sentence him to death.

When Song Jin heard this, the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly.

Qin Chi sat beside her and gently held her hand. "Believe me, he won't survive."
