Episode 29

Qin Yi heard that there was a locust plague in Linfen and concluded that the price of food would rise. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and sent people to purchase all the food.Lame Si'er escaped from death and returned to Taiyuan. He came to plead guilty to Qin Yi. Qin Yi did not scold him for his poor performance. He also knew that he was ruthless and did not want to kill him for the time being. He wanted to keep him for future use.

Qin Yi received a letter from Shopkeeper Li and learned that Qi Menglin and Han Muzhi called on the people to exchange locusts for food. He came up with a good idea and immediately went to Chief Secretary Zhao.Han Muzhi was personally at the scene, and the people went all out to control the locusts. Luo Shu and Qi Menglin also came to the fields to help. Qi Menglin was worried that Luo Shu could not bear it, but Luo Shu didn't care.

The people handed over the caught locusts and then went to collect food. Han Muzhi sent people to burn the locusts to death.There was not much food left in the granary. Han Muzhi invited the squires from Linfen to the county government. He asked the squires to borrow food. They used various excuses to shirk the responsibility. Han Muzhi made it clear that the food was borrowed and would be repaid in full within three months.They didn't believe it at all. Han Muzhi had already written to Liu Yiqing asking for relief food, and he also wanted to praise the squire who borrowed the food. They responded one after another.

Liu Wan asked Liu Yiqing about the locust plague in Linfen, but Liu Yiqing did not allow her to ask around. Liu Wan had to leave angrily. When she went out, she met Qin Yi. Qin Yi came to see Liu Yiqing through Mr. Zhao's introduction. He asked Liu Yiqing to delay the relief food supply.After a month's payment, he could sell the grain he had hoarded at a high price and give 80% of the profit to Liu Yiqing. Liu Yiqing flatly refused, so Qin Yi had to make concessions. As long as Liu Yiqing gave him half a month, Liu Yiqing was puzzled.

Qin Yi had no choice but to admit that he had a grudge against the Qi family. Liu Yiqing was very curious. Qin Yi told the whole story in detail, and Liu Yiqing agreed.Governor Qi heard that there was a locust plague in Linfen, and he decided to go on a personal inspection. Before leaving, Governor Qi told Qi Yanjin to keep an eye on Liu Yiqing and Mr. Zhao.

After the unremitting efforts of the county government and the people, the locusts were finally completely eliminated. However, the crops were also bitten by the locusts and no harvest was harvested. The people were very sad.Han Muzhi donated all the food in the granary, and Cai Baozi could only cook a pot of thin soup to satisfy the hunger of the county government's police officers.Han Muzhi thanked Qi Menglin for his help and advised him to stay away from Luo so as not to implicate Luo Shu. Luo Shu happened to come to Qi Menglin and she was willing to accompany Qi Menglin through thick and thin. Qi Menglin expressed his feelings to Luo Shu. Luo Shu readily agreed and wanted to marry Qi Menglin as soon as possible.Qi Menglin couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He and Luo Shu immediately set off for Taiyuan.

Han Muzhi rushed to the pier and saw that Qi Menglin and Luo Shu had gone away by boat. He immediately rode a horse to chase them. When he saw Qi Menglin and Luo Shu lovingly looking at each other with his own eyes, he gave up completely and had to leave in tears.Qin Yi sent lame Si'er to spread rumors that the Linfen County government had food, and asked the squires to ask Han Muzhi for food, forcing Han Muzhi to buy food from him at a high price.

Qi Menglin and Luo Shu soon returned to Taiyuan, and Luo Shu sent Lian Shu to go ahead and help Luo Shu find an inn.Qi Menglin checked the room carefully, but still felt uneasy and wanted to take Luo Shu home to live. Luo Shu didn't want to cause trouble to him. Lian Shu returned to Qi's house and learned that the eldest young master had passed away. He immediately reported to Qi Menglin.

Qi Menglin hurried home and saw a funeral shed set up at home. He cried sadly. Qi Yanjin tried his best to comfort him and told him the truth about the cause of his eldest brother's death.Having an affair, the eldest brother's condition worsened in anger, and he finally died. Qi Menglin suspected that someone was deliberately spreading rumors just to make his eldest brother angry. He repeatedly confirmed to Qi Yanjin that the Qi family had nothing to do with the death of Luo Shu's parents. Qi Menglin concluded that Qin Yi was behind it.

Qi Yanjin also felt that Qin Yi was suspicious. Since there was no conclusive evidence, he could only wait for his father to come back.Qin Yi brought her favorite snacks to Luo Shu and kept claiming that the Qi family killed Luo Shu's parents. Luo Shu didn't believe it at all and suspected that Qin Yi was the mastermind behind the scenes. Qin Yi repeatedly denied that he saw the Qi family's family members with his own eyes.Splashing stone paint on Luo Shu's house, throwing in a torch, and burning Luo Shu's parents alive. Qin Yi couldn't bear it and rescued Luo Shu. Luo Shu didn't believe him at all.

Qin Yi persuaded Luo Shu to give up Qi Menglin as soon as possible. He was the one who loved Luo Shu the most. Luo Shu accused Qin Yi of killing Wu Yiniang and Jin Bacui. Qin Yi confessed that everything he did was for Luo Shu.Shu, Luo Shu didn't want to hear him continue, so he drew his sword and faced him.
