Chapter 324: A Yellow Rumor

"Slander! Pure slander!"

Yuan Shangshu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Who is so wicked as to make up rumors about the officials of the imperial court? I will report them to the authorities. I must report them to the authorities and have them all arrested and thrown into jail."

I heard that the Yang family was in trouble.

Minister Yuan was waiting to see the joke.

As a result, the Yang family acted like despicable people and even made up obscene rumors.

The staff quickly advised: "Please calm down, sir."

"Am I still a human being if I can calm down after such a thing?" Minister Yuan walked out angrily, shouting loudly to the housekeeper.

The old butler came hurried over.

Minister Yuan immediately ordered: "Send someone to the government office to report to the authorities, and ask the prefect to investigate the person who spread the rumors behind the scenes!"

"I will do it right away."

Just as the old butler was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Minister Yuan.

Minister Yuan asked, "Is Imperial Physician Zhuo still not available?"

"My Lord, I have someone guarding the gate of Zhuo's house. Doctor Zhuo has been in the palace these days."

"Always in the palace?"

Minister Yuan immediately became suspicious.

He waved his hand to signal the old butler to leave, then went back to the study to discuss the matter with his staff.

The aide said, "Something may have happened in the palace. Could it be that His Majesty is ill?"

"I had someone go and invite Doctor Zhuo. Doctor Zhuo was on duty that night and did not leave the palace. The next day, I heard that something seemed to have happened in Changchun Palace. After that, there was no news from the palace. Now that I think about it, something is really not right."

Minister Yuan keenly sensed something unusual.

Ask someone to continue to inquire, especially about things in the palace.

The Yuan family went to the government office to report the incident and sued someone for slandering an official appointed by the imperial court.

The prefect was troubled when he received this case. "This is a fight between gods, and innocent people are affected."

"Sir, do you want to investigate?" asked the chancellor.

The prefect took a deep breath and said calmly, "Minister Yuan has come to report to the authorities. We have no choice but to ignore it. However, the Yuan family has been busy lately, so I guess they won't care about this little thing. Let the governor arrange for someone to visit teahouses and taverns and try to suppress the rumors."

"I understand. I will give the order right away."

The chancellor blinked, smiled and went out to look for someone.

If they really had to make a big fuss to arrest someone for this matter, the prefect would not do such a thankless task. He would just send someone out to pretend to do the job and deal with it.

…

Cuihua Hutong.

Qin Chi and Song Jin heard about it and went to Yuan Mansion to report it to the police.

Song Jin joked, "It's a very clever trick. It should be able to suppress the rumors quickly."

"Outsiders cannot verify whether it is true or not. The Yuan family handled this matter properly." Qin Chi was looking at the information sent from various places.

Song Jin asked again: "Who did Your Majesty assign to investigate the case of the Yuan family poisoning you?"

"Let the Dali Temple cooperate with the Jinyiwei in the investigation."

"What do you think we can find out?"

"The Yuan family has already sent people to intercept him. It's hard to say whether that person can make it to the capital." Qin Chi didn't say that the person went to the capital for interrogation, which was actually beneficial to the Yuan family. The testimony was originally made by the person using drugs. When he was awake, he wanted to commit suicide as soon as he found an opportunity.

If he was sent to the capital, he would most likely change his confession, and it would be easier for the Yuan family to escape punishment. However, the Yuan family would not believe that he had not betrayed them.

So, he immediately sent someone to silence him.

Qin Chi sent someone to deliver a message to County Magistrate Yang in advance, and warned him to keep an eye on the prisoners and be careful of the people behind the scenes who might try to silence them. It would be best if he could take the opportunity to catch one or two thieves, so that he could get rid of the thieves and bring out the trouble. This might be a great achievement.

Qin Chi specially sent a man who was good at speaking. As long as he could fool County Magistrate Yang, he would be a good knife.

At that time, Qin Chi also thought of Xing Lun.

It’s a pity that they are Song Jin’s subordinates, so he feels embarrassed to poach them.

"Sir, Master Yuan came to ask for a meeting and said he must see you. He didn't say what it was, but I saw someone following him, who looked like Doctor Zhuo."

Qin Ba came over to report.

Song Jin and Qin Chi looked at each other.

Qin Chi stood up, straightened his sleeves, and then straightened his clothes, and said gently: "My wife, I'm going to go out and meet the Yuan family."

"Husband, be careful." Song Jin knew that the visitor from Yuan Mansion would not bring any good news.

Qin Chi chuckled calmly, "Are you still worried about something happening in your own home?"

"It's never too late to be careful."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin didn't quite agree with what he said.

Qin Chi said quickly: "Okay, listen to my wife, I will definitely talk to the other person three meters away."

These words were quickly slapped in the face.

When he went out to meet the guests, Mr. Yuan sincerely stated his purpose, "My father learned that Lord Qin was poisoned, and someone framed the Yuan family. Although it was not the Yuan family's fault, my father still feels guilty, so I specially asked Doctor Zhuo to come over and take a look at you."

"The poison has been eliminated and the disease has been cured. Is it unnecessary to invite the imperial physician to come?" Qin Chi asked deliberately.

Grandpa Yuan's attitude remained polite. "I'm just checking your pulse. My father will be at ease only if Lord Qin is healthy. Hey, my father is kindhearted. He has been worried until he confirmed that you are okay. He has even been unable to sleep well these days."

"Ha, so it turns out that it's because of me, Minister Yuan, that you can't sleep or eat well." Qin Chi smiled lightly, his breath was gentle, "I thought it was because I was drunk last time that I made mistakes..."

“Ahem.”

Uncle Yuan kept coughing and his face turned red.

Qin Chi quickly showed concern.

Master Yuan shook his head and said it was fine. He quickly looked at Doctor Zhuo beside him, and before Qin Chi could say anything, he bowed and said, "I'll trouble Doctor Zhuo to take care of Master Qin's health."

Qin Chi is now a quasi-fourth-rank official.

He was fully qualified to reject the Yuan family's unreasonable demands, but unexpectedly he did not refuse. He sat on the chair and casually raised his wrist and placed it on the tea table beside him.

"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhuo." Qin Chi said calmly.

This move left Uncle Yuan puzzled.

Doctor Zhuo walked over and greeted Qin Chi first, then sat down carefully. The attendant beside him took out a small wrist pillow from the medicine box on his back at the right time.

Place the wrist pillow under Qin Chi's wrist.

Doctor Zhuo then stretched out two fingers and placed them on Qin Chi's pulse.

After finishing one wrist, switch to the other.

Anyone who has seen it knows that Imperial Doctor Zhuo is very careful when taking a person's pulse.

After a moment, he let go of her hand and said truthfully, "Lord Qin's pulse is soft and deep, so he must have been born with a weak constitution. Fortunately, he has been treated by a famous doctor since he was young. Not long ago, he did have a serious illness and was overworked, so he still needs to take good care of himself."

"Doctor Zhuo's reputation is well-deserved."

Qin Chi smiled politely and said, "People outside say you are a miracle doctor. There is no disease that cannot be cured when you treat it."

Doctor Zhuo quickly said modestly, "No, no, that's all lies. There is no real miracle doctor in the world. By the way, Sir Qin, do you need me to prescribe a prescription for you?"

"I couldn't ask for more." Qin Chi immediately responded happily.

When Doctor Zhuo saw his attitude, he immediately felt favorable towards him.

There are so many rumors about Qin Chi. Although he is young and holds a high position, he does not have the arrogance he should have.
