Chapter 307: Furious
Minister Yuan was so anxious that he sent people on horseback to intercept them.
Without his approval, who would dare to use the cotton clothes in the warehouse? As a result, the general received a reply saying that Qin Chi had contacted him in advance, and there were official documents and official seals from the government, confirming that these cotton clothes were sent to the Northwest Military Camp.
This made Minister Yuan so angry that he was fuming!
Who would not first try to please him and ask him repeatedly before agreeing if they wanted to get something from him? Yuan Shangshu was convinced that Qin Chi could defeat him.
This was not done in a covert manner.
Soon other people found out about it. When they learned that Qin Chi had gone to provide disaster relief and had tricked Minister Yuan, they were all delighted and told it to their younger generations as a joke.
Then, which family doesn’t have a few playboys?
So it spread in a small area.
Qin Chi was able to make a powerful minister like Yuan Shangshu lose face, and his image suddenly became more impressive in their eyes. Qin Chi was also very powerful as rumored before. But he still didn't seem to be able to defeat Yuan Shangshu.
What is the reality?
Minister Yuan didn't get any good treatment from Qin Chi either.
So what if he took the credit? Qin Chi became famous.
Unfortunately, this time, Minister Yuan suffered a loss, and he couldn't talk about it openly. He had to pretend to smile when he saw people and couldn't say a bad word about Qin Chi.
Minister Yuan doesn't seem to be anything special on the surface.
Behind the scenes, two groups of people were arranged to assassinate Qin Chi.
There are many spies in the capital, so if Minister Yuan wants to kill someone, it is not so easy to clean up the mess. But it is different outside. After killing the target, the murderer can just flee far away.
As long as people don't return to the capital, who can catch the Yuan family?
Therefore, Qin Chi encountered two assassination attempts while he was on the way.
Qin Chi was naturally not a man who would swallow his anger, so he immediately wrote a secret memorial to Emperor Ming Cheng, suspecting that there were spies from other countries who wanted to murder the court officials of Daxia. For example, he, a disaster relief official, had encountered two assassination attempts just after he stepped out of the capital. He said that the spies behind the scenes were cruel and vicious, and the people of Taihu Lake were waiting for life-saving supplies, and they were worthy of death, as they wanted to disrupt the peace of Daxia.
The level it has risen to is very high. I hope Emperor Ming Cheng will conduct a thorough investigation.
Emperor Ming Cheng was furious when he saw the secret report.
He immediately ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate and sent another Jinyiwei to protect Qin Chi.
"You bastard!"
Emperor Ming Cheng was really angry this time. "I personally conferred the title of the top scholar of the Three Yuans and Six Top Scholars this year, and yet someone dared to attack him? This shows that they don't take me seriously."
The newly crowned top scholar was assassinated in less than a year.
How will history books describe him in the future? ! "Your Majesty, calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger." The old eunuch next to him soothed him.
Emperor Mingcheng laughed angrily, "How can I not be angry? Go and summon the Minister of Works to see me."
A young eunuch immediately received the order and went out.
After a while, Minister Yuan hurried to see the emperor.
Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty threw the secret report in the face of Minister Yuan.
According to Minister Yuan's understanding of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty over the years, the Emperor was in a rage and such an emperor could kill at any time.
Minister Yuan was so shocked that he fell to his knees.
Then he tremblingly opened the secret music.
When he saw the content above, he almost vomited three liters of blood.
Qin Qi'an is really my nemesis! "You sent someone, right?" Emperor Ming Cheng did not need any evidence and came to the conclusion directly.
Minister Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.
It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was stubborn and self-righteous.
You have no choice but to acknowledge the truth he has determined.
So Yuan Shangshu compromised and explained: "Your Majesty, I just wanted to scare him so that he would respect me in the future. I never thought of killing him."
"Oh, do you think I'm so easy to fool?" Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty pointed at Minister Yuan in anger.
Minister Yuan kowtowed repeatedly, "It's true. How dare I fool you. Think about it. With my ability, if I really wanted to assassinate Qin Qian, how could I let him escape twice?"
Emperor Mingcheng sneered, "You failed to kill me, but it became a reason for you to escape punishment."
There is a huge disparity in strength between the two.
If the killing failed, it could really be an excuse.
Emperor Mingcheng brushed his robe and sat down majestically, "I don't care whether you really want to kill him or just want to scare him, as long as I am in power, he must be alive for me."
"Yes, I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"roll!"
Emperor Mingcheng picked up the inkstone and threw it at Minister Yuan.
Minister Yuan rolled out, tumbling and crawling, and even after leaving the palace he was still frightened.
"Qin Qi'an..."
Minister Yuan gritted his teeth.
He was setting Qin Chi up with another trick.
At the same time, he knew that Emperor Mingcheng would protect Qin Chi, but he didn't expect that he would protect him so unreasonably. He would think of him when Qin Chi got into trouble, and there was no need to investigate, just wait until he returned to the Yuan family.
As soon as Minister Yuan stepped into his own courtyard, he spat out a mouthful of blood, "This is too much! This is simply too much!!"
"master!"
The servants who saw this hurriedly stepped forward to support Minister Yuan.
Then there was chaos in the courtyard.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Wait for the court physician to come and take Minister Yuan's pulse.
Minister Yuan waved his hand to let him leave, and the palace doctor went outside to prescribe medicine. After a while, the staff living in the mansion came to visit.
After dismissing his attendants, Yuan Shangshu mentioned the matter to his staff, "Your Majesty has now determined that I am the mastermind behind this."
“That doesn’t make sense.”
The staff was also furious after hearing this.
Minister Yuan sneered, "When has our emperor ever been reasonable with anyone? He was better at pretending in the first half of his life, but now he doesn't bother pretending for anyone."
Even if they really did it.
But without evidence, who can do anything to him? The staff member was puzzled and asked, "Why is your majesty protecting Qin Qi'an?"
"He is not protecting Qin Qian'an, he is protecting his own face. Also, I am too anxious." Minister Yuan thought that Qin Qian'an was a new official this year and had only been in office for a few months.
If he were to die in an assassination attempt now, it would bring shame to the royal family.
Minister Yuan could only order his men to withdraw the assassins.
"Sir, are we just going to let this matter go?" The staff member sensed Minister Yuan's reluctance.
Minister Yuan shook his head. "What do you think, sir?"
"As long as no one knows about it, it will be fine, just like a person's birth, aging, illness and death." The staff knew that if they wanted to kill someone, they didn't have to use assassination, they could disguise it as an accidental death or death from illness.
The two looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
What's going on over there with Qin Chi is a turbulent situation.
Song Jin lives a peaceful life at home.
However, Old Man Hong came to talk to Song Jin and said that Qin Chi had encountered some troubles and even alarmed the emperor, but it was a close call. He told Song Jin not to panic if she heard any news and to focus on taking care of her pregnancy.
Two months passed.
The winter wind was chilly, but fortunately there wasn't much snow.
In early December, Shopkeeper Tao, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly came to Song Jin and told him that there was an urgent need for food in Taihu Lake and asked if Song Jin had any food.
"Sir, you said you want to buy it, but the price won't be very high, according to the price before the disaster. The disaster in Taihu Lake is far more serious than we know, and tens of thousands of people are in urgent need of food to save their lives."
Song Jin naturally has food.
They even built several granaries privately.
Song Jin immediately wrote a letter, stamped it with the family seal, and asked Qin Chi to use it to go to the granary closest to Taihu Lake to withdraw grain.
A name and address were also given.
Shopkeeper Tao was so grateful that his eyes were filled with tears. He bowed deeply to Song Jin and said, "I would like to thank the lady for her kindness on behalf of the young master."
"No need to be so polite. Helping my husband is also helping myself."
Song Jin avoided the gift from Shopkeeper Tao.
After getting the receipt for collecting grain, Shopkeeper Tao hurriedly left.
It can be seen from the fact that Shopkeeper Tao has lost weight that the Taihu disaster relief is not going as smoothly as expected.
Otherwise, there is no need to come to her specially.
