Chapter 286: Big Trouble!

In the guest room.

Old Man Hong stared at Doctor Jing with cold eyes.

Doctor Jing felt a lot of pressure because of his stare.

Old Man Hong was quite dissatisfied with the trouble he had caused. "If the young master knew that you almost implicated the lady, you would be in trouble."

"I will go and plead guilty when you come back."

Doctor Jing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

I tried to save someone with good intentions, but I didn't expect that it would cause trouble.

This was something he had never expected. "Thanks to my wife's quick thinking, she noticed something was wrong in time."

"Tell me the details of the situation." Old man Hong only knew the general situation and was not clear about the process.

Doctor Jing said, "Madam followed the official to Fengning Hutong, and it happened that the family went to visit relatives..."

Song Jitao's statement was given by Song Jin.

The first is to find that family and ask them the reason.

The second is to lure someone into a trap at night.

When the officials came to investigate, the family said they were visiting relatives, but in fact they were staying in a small inn in West City.

Song Jitao arranged for people to detain the whole family. At first they refused to confess, but after a beating they became obedient and confessed that the mastermind behind the incident was the car manager. He also said that he would give his family ten taels of silver if the matter was successful.

For only ten taels of silver, he sent his seriously ill father to death.

This is such a filial son, he really loves me so much! Song Jitao used the same trick at night and asked the police to ambush in Fuzili and catch the murderer in the act.

Doctor Jing added, "Song Jitao said he would hire a lawyer to sue the Liu family for robbery and murder."

"If this matter gets out of hand, the Liu family will most likely push a manager out to take the blame. Manager Che is the most suitable candidate." Old Man Hong is very familiar with the behavior of powerful families.

The vehicle manager has no choice but to take the blame.

The lives of his entire family are in the hands of the Liu family.

Old Man Hong was silent for a moment and then said, "Recently, things have been happening one after another. The last one hasn't been solved yet, and this one has come up again. Madam sent the thief to the government office to deal with it. I'm afraid she didn't want to trouble us, but the Liu family can't get away easily."

For a moment, Dr. Jing was overwhelmed with shame.

After all, he was the one who caused this incident.

…

The beginning of the hour of Hai.

Qin Chi returned home from the government office.

When he came back, he heard from Old Man Hong that the pharmacy was almost plotted against by the Liu family.

Qin Chi pondered for a moment, then said, "Report what the Liu family did to Censor Zheng, and make it clear that the case has been reported to the government. He will most likely report Liu Bingzheng."

"I'll have someone do it right away."

Old Man Hong knew that Qin Chi was going to make a big deal out of this.

Talked for a while.

Old Man Hong changed the subject and mentioned the secret passage of the Ding family. "We sent people in to investigate. There are many passages in the underground passage. We couldn't find all of them at once, but from the signs, we can find that people often walk in the underground passage."

Qin Chi looked solemn when he heard this. "This force is not simple. We need to continue investigating and make sure we find out the truth."

Start from the opposite side towards Song Jin.

They are destined to be their enemies.

Qin Chi returned to his room after washing up.

Song Jin has already fallen asleep in bed.

He walked lightly around the screen and came to the bed, took off his coat and hung it on the screen, then took off his shoes and got on the bed, gently lowered the bed curtain, and lay down on his side next to Song Jin.

As soon as I lay down, the person next to me woke up.

"Did you wake my wife?" Qin Chi asked softly.

Song Jin asked gently, "What time is it?"

"The hour of Hai."

Qin Chi said apologetically, "It's my husband's fault. I shouldn't have come home so late."

"I shouldn't have neglected my body."

Song Jin said with a deliberately stern face.

Qin Chi chuckled softly, and was extremely happy. He moved closer to Song Jin, and fell asleep with his head resting on her long black hair. He seemed to be able to smell the unique fragrance of her hair while he was sleeping.

It is so reassuring.

…

The next day.

It was a lively day.

At the court meeting, Liu Bingzheng was reported by Zheng Yushi. The officials' words were sharp and to the point, describing the Liu family as a group that excluded dissidents, murdered for money, valued money over profit, had no medical ethics, and did not care about the lives of the people.

Everyone in the court was shocked when they heard this.

Here it comes, here it comes! Liu Bingzheng was furious when he heard this.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He tried his best to defend himself in the court, using every trick in his book to clear himself of the crime. He also said that their Liu family's mission was to practice medicine and save lives, and that they had never harmed an innocent life.

Immediately, the matter of Jifang Pharmacy was reported to the main hall.

"impossible!"

Liu Bingzheng still insisted on his own opinion. "My Liu family has never done anything that harms the world. There must be someone behind the scenes who is deliberately trying to frame the Liu family. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly."

The case is real.

Liu Bingzheng was filled with indignation and was genuinely angry.

The final result was that Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty paid attention to the case and ordered the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture to investigate it within three days.

After a moment.

No minister came forward.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies was just about to say, "If you have anything to report, please do so; if not, please dismiss the court."

Qin Chi stood up, saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"allow!"

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty approved the request.

Qin Chi took out a memorial and said, "When I took over the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Finance, I checked the accounts and inventory and found that the inventory numbers were correct, but the quality was unclear. For example, there were more than 7,800 cotton-padded clothes to be sent to the army. After I personally checked, I found that there were indeed such numbers, but there were only 1,300 new cotton-padded clothes. The rest were all worn-out cotton-padded clothes, as well as arrow feathers, farm tools, etc. Only about 20% were newly made..."

Qin Chi's clear voice echoed in the hall, causing the two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works to change their expressions.

The two looked at each other secretly.

I can only grit my teeth in secret.

Didn't they say that the inventory would be completed the day after tomorrow? They had arranged a backup plan but hadn't used it yet, and now Qin Chi had exposed it himself? This was a big mistake! This phenomenon was very common in the six ministries and was a default operation among officials.

Didn't the other officials know? They knew! They just pretended to be deaf and dumb, because some of the accounts were always kept in the accounts. For example, if a certain military camp needed 2,000 new cotton clothes, the Ministry of Industry would say that it could only allocate 1,000, and the rest had to be kept for emergency use.

The item is for emergency use only and should not be used lightly.

In fact, it is useless.

This bad debt did not form overnight, and everyone who took over accepted it.

Everyone thought Qin Chi would also accept it.

Who knew that he was such a young and inexperienced man, and he reported this to Emperor Mingcheng right after taking office.

Emperor Ming Cheng took the memorial and read it from beginning to end, his face looking frighteningly grim.

The hall was extremely quiet.

Each minister pretended to be a quail, hoping that Emperor Mingcheng would ignore his existence.

While others thought that Emperor Mingcheng would first attack the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works, he unexpectedly questioned the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Censorate, "Zuo Shuzhang, Yu Yuequan, tell me, I remember investigating the corruption case of the Ministry of Works, and the Metropolitan Censorate had sent people to check the accounts. Why didn't they find any problems at that time?"

Such a serious problem...

How should they answer?

Should they say that this was a bad debt that had been left over, or that they hadn't found out yet? Either way, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor! The two men were so shocked that they knelt down.
