The Minister of Rites did not reply to Shen Zhiyi quickly.
Instead, his mind is full of "sandwiches".
What does this mean?
He looked at Chengmenlang.
Chengmenlang was confused.
You ask him, who does he ask? What sandwich? I don't understand.
The Minister of Rites regretted that he must have missed something. Thinking about the previous incident where Duke Shun and the Minister of War beat their son, he thought there must be a connection.
If he knew the whole story, he would be able to guess what "sandwich" meant based on the context.
"Minister of Rites?"
"Minister?"
Shen Zhiyi shouted again and again, and finally raised the volume helplessly: “Shangshu!!!”
“Ahhh.”
The Minister of Rites came back to his senses from his thoughts.
"Oh, yes, I'm here to look for someone."
The Minister of Rites finally began to think about the important matters.
"Shen Lang, my daughter is missing."
"If my daughter is missing, should I go to the Ministry of Justice? Dali Temple? Or the local county government?"
[Anyway, it's wrong to look for me. It's strange. Why do these high-ranking officials come to me when no one is at home? Don't you have so many servants in your house? ]
The Minister of Rites looks much older.
"We have searched for her. We have searched everywhere. We have asked people to look for her in all the places she loved to go and the places she often went to."
"The Minister of War told me that they had searched everywhere before but couldn't find him, but later you stepped forward and found him. I was thinking..."
"A last-ditch effort?"
The Minister of Rites swallowed the rest of his words. It was not necessary to do so.
[I really have searched everywhere. ]
Shen Zhiyi turned the surveillance to three days ago, when the Minister of Rites' youngest daughter was still in the room.
But I didn’t draw or write anything that couldn’t be shown outside. Instead, I was reading a storybook.
After reading the storybook, she talked to herself in the room, then changed her clothes and went out.
Everything that he had seen so far was normal, but what followed made Shen Zhiyi have to give a thumbs up.
[As expected of the daughter of the Minister of Rites, those who achieve great things do not care about small details. ]
These words made the Minister of Rites very confused.
How did this search for his daughter lead to the topic of his daughter being careless about trivial matters?
[It's not just the Minister of Rites' daughter who's been missing lately. There's actually another person who's also gone missing. ]
Soon, the gatekeeper who was guarding outside came in.
"Shangshu, Chen Lang, someone is looking for Chen Lang outside."
"Who is it?"
The Minister of Rites was very displeased that someone was trying to snatch the person from him.
"It's me."
The person who came was the General of Cavalry.
The General of Cavalry was of the first rank. Although he had no real power, there were still many people in the court who were very respectful to him.
The Minister of Rites quickly stood up and saluted the General of Cavalry.
The General of Cavalry didn't like these empty words and just waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, by the time you old man finish your salute, the Zhonglang General will be dead somewhere."
Shen Zhiyi’s eyes widened.
"So, General, you are here to look for someone as well?"
"Yes, three days ago, the General of the Central Army took a letter and went out and never came back. The old man and the children of Qianwuwei have been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. It's really strange."
"I don't know what to do. When I reported this to His Majesty, the Minister of War said that Shen Lang was quite experienced in finding people, so I took the risk and came here."
[Is there something wrong with that Minister of War? I hope that in the future, if someone in a family goes missing, they won’t come looking for me. ]
Shen Zhiyi smiled with a fake smile, pretending to be indifferent and said: "Oh, this is really a coincidence, the daughter of the Minister of Rites is also missing, and she also disappeared three days ago."
Minister of Rites, General of the Cavalry: "..."
Why do I have this bad feeling?
It can't be what they think.
Anger instantly appeared on the face of the General of Cavalry, and the look he gave the Minister of Rites was full of apology.
"As the master of that brat Zhonglang Jiang, I apologize to you."
Shen Zhiyi: ???
[Why did the General of the Cavalry apologize to the Minister of Rites? ]
[Oh, I didn't expect that the General of Cavalry was the master of the General of the Central Army. No wonder he was concerned about the general's lifelong affairs.]
[However, the General of the Central Army was fed tea laced with drugs by the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and then taken to a remote courtyard in the capital.]
The apologizing general: ???
The Minister of Rites looked guilty.
[After the Zhonglangjiang woke up from his coma, the Minister of Rites's little daughter fed him spring medicine. Because of the effect of the medicine, plus the fact that the Minister of Rites's little daughter was very proactive, and Zhonglangjiang seemed to have some interest in the Minister of Rites's little daughter, the two of them have been fighting for three hundred rounds in that remote courtyard.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, young people are in really good health. It's been three days and three nights. ]
The Minister of Rites looked even more guilty now.
His daughter is so bold!
How would he face the parents of the General of the Central Army in the future?
The General of Cavalry went from being shocked at first to accepting it calmly.
How could such a heroic woman be born to the pedantic Minister of Rites?
It really is a genetic mutation.
"Ahem."
The Minister of Rites blushed all over.
"Shen Lang, this has given us a very good idea. The Minister of War is right. You are indeed very good at finding people. Hahahaha, I won't bother you with the rest."
[Ah? Please excuse me. I have to bother you!]
[I actually really want to see the live version!!!]
"Minister of Rites is so polite. Your daughter is missing and I am extremely worried. I am willing to do my best to help you!"
Minister of Rites: You are pretending to be trying your best, the real reason is that you just want to watch the fun.
Now there is only one outsider, Chengmenlang, present, so the matter can be suppressed. If Shen Zhiyi is taken out with him, it is guaranteed that all the officials in Dajing will know about this.
No, no, Shen Zhiyi must not be allowed to go.
"No, no, it's rare for you to have a day off, you need to rest well."
Without waiting for Shen Zhiyi to continue speaking, the Minister of Rites took the General of the Cavalry and ran out quickly.
The General of Cavalry looked down at the hand of the Minister of Rites and slapped him without saying a word.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you talking about? You have a wife, and I have one too."
The Minister of Rites immediately withdrew his right hand as if he had touched charcoal.
He said unhappily: “Do you think I want to pull you in? If I don’t pull you in, will I keep it for the entire Greater Kyoto to know about Shen Zhiyi’s spread?”
"That's the truth."
The General of Cavalry thought for a while with his simple mind and decided to tell the parents of the General of the Household about the news.
The Minister of Rites quickly grabbed the man back.
"It's not you who's doing this. What are you doing? What's the point of pulling and tugging?"
It would be so embarrassing if his fat son saw it.
The Minister of Rites hesitated and said, "General, can I help my daughter with that matter..."
