Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 573: Tomb Miasma Poison Rampages

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

"Quick, you guys go over there, you go over there, surround them, surround them completely, don’t let a single one get away!"

"..."

Outside came the sound of commotion. Li Qingmu, draped in a fox fur silver robe, stood silently by the wall of the Li Mansion, listening to the clamor from outside.

The north wind whipped and snowflakes fell one after another. Winter had truly arrived!

"They’ve made their move!"

He said lightly, it seems everything is ready, otherwise, Qi Yun wouldn’t be causing such a disturbance.

His heart relaxed a lot, for many years now Da Rong had planted too many spies in Dazhou. It was okay when everything was stable before, but now with continuous natural disasters in Dazhou, these people really can’t stay.

Otherwise, it will be a calamity!

"Cough cough..."

Snowflakes gradually fell more, the wind outside howled coldly, Li Qingmu took a breath of cool air, coughed, his brows furrowed, looking uncomfortable.

Long Yue brought a bowl of honey water, looking at him: "Go inside!"

This undeniable tone directly forced back all the excuses Li Qingmu had for wanting to stay outside.

He looked at his sweet little wife with a face of grievance, obediently following her inside.

"In this icy weather, are you staying outside to catch a chill?"

After entering the room, Long Yue began to complain all sorts of things.

Li Qingmu simply smiled lightly, letting her speak, he quite enjoyed being scolded like this, even being punched by his little wife would be even better.

Her little hands were so soft, her fists so petite and cute, hitting his body felt like a puff of cotton, bouncy and warm, the taste was wonderful.

It’s just, she seemed to have stopped hitting him for a long time, since he got injured, she was always watching over him, like watching a delicate vase, afraid of accidentally breaking it.

"Madam, sir, Young Master Xiang and Imperial Censor Su are here to see you!"

Outside came the voice of the steward, Long Yue acknowledged and then took Li Qingmu to the front hall.

In the front hall, the Xiang couple and the Su couple had been waiting for some time. Upon seeing them come over, they stood up to inquire about Li Qingmu’s condition.

Su Shi was even direct, saying: "A Mu, His Majesty is worried that your health hasn’t recovered, that’s why he confined you at home, so don’t harbor resentment!"

Uh...

Li Qingmu was stunned, they had come to console him, he was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, he naturally knew all this, what resentment was there?

But they meant well, and Su Shi was straightforward, not one to speak in circles, such people were best suited to be friends.

"I understand His Majesty’s intention, A shi don’t worry!" After a pause, he said, "What’s going on in the court now? How is the disaster situation in Kaiyang County? Has there been any progress?"

After asking, Li Qingmu saw the heavy expressions on their faces, and his heart sank.

It seemed like bad news.

"The lava flow has stopped, but..." Su Shi sighed a bit helplessly, "The Tomb Miasma Poison is rampant now, at first it was wildly sweeping through Kaiyang County, then gradually spread to other States, with more and more people affected."

This really was bad news! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Actually, it should have been anticipated long ago!"

Li Qingmu grimaced, those Tomb Miasma Poisons were spreading like smoke, where was it so easy to control? A gust of wind could blow them across Jiangnan.

Supposedly to curb it was merely to speed up the transportation of medicinal herbs, allowing the people to take the antidote immediately upon infection.

"Medicinal herbs are likely in urgent shortage!" Long Yue looked at Xiang Yin, saying, "Young Master Xiang, how many medicinal herbs can your family’s medicine field produce?"

Xiang Yin said, "Over the years, my family has extended a lot of medicine fields. Now with this situation, we are also accelerating the harvest, but... can’t keep up with consumption."

"So, the situation is quite dire!"

Su Shi slapped a palm on the table, and swung his other hand fiercely in the air.

In a moment, realizing he was impulsive, he promptly apologized.

Long Yue smiled lightly, "No problem, Brother Su is a man of temperament."

"Actually, when that lava stopped erupting, those Tomb Miasma Poisons wouldn’t spew out anymore. Right now, it’s merely the toxins that already released, as long as they slowly dilute and disperse outside, over time, this matter will pass. So the current priority is medicinal herbs, as long as medicinal herbs are supplied, people can be treated for illness, the issue won’t be vast!"

Li Qingmu mused for a while, then said.

"It’s a matter of enduring!"

"Right, endure, as long as we get through this period, everything will become clear!"

Li Qingmu slowly stood, looking at the snowflakes drifting outside the window, he said lightly, "Winter has come, now I’m afraid the disaster victims are not only afflicted by the Tomb Miasma Poison, but also suffering hunger and cold... Hopefully, the relief grains and funds can soon reach them! Only..."

After a pause, Li Qingmu suddenly said, "The Emperor only confined me at home, but didn’t restrict my authority as Imperial Envoy, did he?"

Uh?

Xiang Yin and Su Shi were stunned, that’s the case, so what do you imply with that? Do you still want to attend court?

Of course, this thought flashed by, and they saw Li Qingmu smiling, "Brother Su, hurry and bring He Jian over, tell him I have urgent business to do!"

He Jian was the Imperial Censor who has long sought the position of Imperial Envoy, he had eyed this spot for a long time, originally very hopeful, but Li Qingmu appeared out of thin air, instantaneously thwarting his hopes, becoming his subordinate.

He Jian probably hid in corners daily, cursing Li Qingmu with little effigies!

Seeing Li Qingmu with a mysterious look, Su Shi didn’t know what he planned, but he still quickly fetched He Jian.

He Jian was still in Upper Court, being called away so abruptly, he was a bit disheartened, but this was a superior officer, although punished by the Emperor, none are blind, who couldn’t see this was a disguised protection?

For this favored minister, who dared to defy?

Thus, He Jian reluctantly came.

"Mr. He, please!"

"Oh, I dare not, Mr. Li please!"

Li Qingmu was surprisingly courteous, instead making He Jian’s alarms go off, thinking when abnormal there’s trouble, this man normally was uncommunicative, how suddenly he’s so polite?

There’s trouble, surely, there’s trouble!

He slightly bowed, said, "Mr. Li summoned, not sure what orders you have?"

It was really frustrating, previously Li Qingmu had to address him as ’inferior officer’, but now, upon seeing Li Qingmu, he addressed himself as ’inferior officer’, roles reversed.

Li Qingmu smiled, gestured for him not to be overly polite, while picking up a small booklet from the table, handing it to him.

"This is..."

"This is the roster of all personnel in the Imperial Censorate!"

"This... what’s it for?"

He Jian’s heart gave a thud, suspecting something was amiss.

Sure enough, Li Qingmu said: "Isn’t the Imperial Censorate equipped with many censors? Apart from impeaching, a censor also supervises officials. Now that the court has allocated so much relief for disaster, hoping it soon arrives in people’s hands, quickly overcoming this crisis.

But, there are no timber that doesn’t rot, afraid that some officials line their pockets, layer after layer skimming these funds and grains, so, how much will actually reach disaster victims?"

"So, Mr. Li intends..."

"Hmm, let these censors go to local areas and shadow those officials, like this, we can expedite the disaster relief process, what does Mr. He think?"
