"I see." Lu Qingjin probably understood.

When these officials take office, they can still do some of their own work, but when they have different intentions and gradually taste the sweetness, and no one controls them, it will naturally become more and more outrageous.

"Madam, I know that you are all people with status, what I said, I hope it can help you, govern this Jiangnan well, and don't let the people suffer anymore."

Liang Siyuan said helplessly, it can be seen that she is sincerely appealing for the people.

Lu Qingjin smiled bitterly in his heart, those officials who studied hard in the cold window, entered the officialdom, and once vowed to work for the people, are not even as good as such a weak woman, it is really ridiculous.

"Miss Liang, don't worry, Jiangnan will definitely not be the same as before, those officials who are misbehaving will disappear in Dayu one day sooner or later."

Lu Qingjin said this to Liang Siyuan, and also to herself, she will definitely help Qin Zhao to find out all the corrupt officials in the world, so that the people can live a good life.

She asked Liang Siyuan about some local things, thinking that the porridge was almost ready, so she left Liang Siyuan's room and returned to the kitchen.

Lu Qingjin simply stir-fried two more dishes and went back to the room.

Qin Zhao hadn't slept all the time, he was still sitting on the chair just now, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, let's eat."

Lu Qingjin put the food in front of him, and while serving him the food, he talked about what he had just heard.

"In the kitchen just now, the concubine heard something about the local officials, which may be helpful for the emperor to investigate the matter in Jiangnan."

After solving the problem of the victims, Qin Zhao also had an appetite, picked up the chopsticks, and asked curiously while eating: "What is the matter, the queen will come and hear it." ”

"The concubine heard that the Chen family in Jiangnan seems to have colluded with the local officials, but the concubine didn't inquire about the specific situation, so the emperor might as well send someone to check the Chen family."

Hearing her words, Qin Zhao's hand stopped and put down the chopsticks.

"The Chen family." Qin Zhao repeated thoughtfully.

"This Chen family, I have long felt that it is not simple, but I didn't expect him to have such courage to dare to collude with officials!"

Lu Qingjin said: "Your Majesty, it's better to investigate this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to investigate it after listening to their reactions." ”

While speaking, Lu Qingjin was already thinking about how to start the investigation.

Qin Zhao seemed to understand her thoughts, and said, "I will look at the arrangement of this matter, so don't interfere with it." ”

"Why?" Lu Qingjin said anxiously: "I can help." ”

Qin Zhao's expression was serious, he shook his head and said: "I know that the queen is worried about the people, but this matter is not simple, we are now on an unannounced visit, if we startle the grass and let them find out, they are afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and I am afraid that you will be in danger, so you should not get involved in this matter, I have my own decision." ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Qingjin was a little angry, "Your Majesty, let's talk about sharing weal and woe, if you don't let me interfere, won't you be in danger?" ”

"If they hurt you, then I'd rather hurt the concubine."

"What are you talking about," Qin Zhao said with a calm face: "I will not be in danger, let alone let you be in danger, although the food problem of the people has been solved now, but they are about to face the plague, this matter still depends on the queen, you naturally can't have any accidents." ”

"It's not just for me, it's for the people! Moreover, I have already prepared, none of us will be in danger, believe me! ”

He swore to Lu Qingjin that he would.

Seeing that he was so sure, Lu Qingjin was a little relieved.

"Okay, since the emperor has already made arrangements, then I naturally won't cause trouble for you, but after breakfast, the concubines will go to check on the situation of the plague."

After breakfast, Lu Qingjin left Liangfu and went to the disaster area.

The people's dwellings had not yet been built, so they had to succumb to the outside of the city, but with food and food, their conditions finally improved.

Seeing that Lu Qingjin was no longer the same as before.

There were a few people who had already contracted the plague, and the situation was more serious, Lu Qingjin had already asked Xiao Fuzi to order people to set up tents in advance and place them in another place to avoid infecting others again.

She covered her face with a scarf before entering the tent.

She made a detailed record of all the sick people, and after returning to the Liang Mansion, she ordered people to buy many medicinal materials and began to experiment and study the antidote.

After noon, she ordered the antidote she had developed to be sent to the people.

Early the next morning, the servants who were responsible for taking care of the people hurriedly came to find Lu Qingjin.

Lu Qingjin saw that his face was not good, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Well, but what happened to the people?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, those few people who have the plague, after taking the medicine......" The slave said with a shudder, after all, this medicine was boiled by the queen mother herself, if you say no, wouldn't it be a great disrespect to the queen.

"It's okay to be straight, what the hell is going on?" At this time, where does Lu Qingjin still care about this, she only hopes to heal these people quickly.

The slave gritted his teeth and whispered: "Niangniang, after they drank the medicine, their condition did not get better, and even this morning, it became more serious. ”

"What?!" Lu Qingjin couldn't believe that when she was developing the antidote, she was very careful in every step, and the proportion of medicinal materials was not the same, so there should be no mistake.

"Let's go, let's see!" Lu Qingjin did not delay and came to the victims again.

As the slave said, the situation of those victims is indeed serious, but after Lu Qingjin's inspection, this should be a normal deterioration of the condition.

In other words, the drug was not counterproductive, but at best ineffective.

So, Lu Qingjin added a few more medicinal materials to the original prescription, re-brewed a new antidote, and ordered someone to send it.

However, the strange thing is that even so, this medicine still did not work.

Lu Qingjin fell into distress at this time, and hid in the pharmacy all day to study the antidote, without even stepping out of the door.

This made the maids around her anxious.

"Niangniang, you are still studying medicinal herbs here, but something big is happening outside." Jing Shu said angrily.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qingjin thought that there was a problem with the victims again, so he hurriedly asked.

Jing Shu replied: "Niangniang, when you were studying the antidote here, Concubine Lu took the opportunity to keep running into the emperor's house!" ”

It wasn't a matter of the victims, Lu Qingjin breathed a sigh of relief, and her attention returned to studying the antidote, but she still asked casually, "What did she do in the emperor's house?" ”

Jingshu pursed her lips, "What else can I do, be courteous and send soup to the emperor." ”
