Chapter 290 Give a Little Lesson
The journey home was uneventful.
The news that the Jinyiwei escorted Qin Chi home still spread to various families.
Study in Yuan Shangshu's residence.
Minister Yuan was in a good mood today. He was talking to his staff about what happened in the court. "Qin Qi'an offended most of the officials today. Even if I don't take action in the future, he won't be able to get far."
"Sir, His Majesty asked the Embroidered Uniform Guard to escort Qin Qian'an, and he is also warning the people in the dark that Qin Qian'an is under his protection, and no one will dare to attack Qin Qian'an in the short term." said the aide sitting closest to Minister Yuan.
His views were soon shared by other staff members.
But some people still speculate: "Will someone take the risk?"
"I don't think so."
Another staff member pretended to be profound and said, "Qin Qi'an's current situation, to put it simply, is that he has offended most of the court. It just so happens that because he has offended so many people, it actually works in his favor. No one wants to be the one who takes the lead. You wait for me to take action, and I wait for you to take action. Over time, the one who benefits is still Qin Qi'an."
Upon hearing this, Minister Yuan’s smile faded.
Don’t talk about other people’s mentality. He had this mentality just now, thinking that he didn’t need to take action, others would naturally deal with Qin Qian’an.
Even he has the mentality of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
What about others? I'm afraid those bastards are waiting for his action. Because everyone knows that the Yuan family and Qin Qi'an have a grudge.
The more he thought about it, the more he lost his mood. "The current situation is still in our favor. Let's think of a way to drag the Yang family into this. Isn't the Yang family supporting Qin Qian'an behind the scenes? Then just make them pile up together."
"This is not possible. Pushing the Yang family towards Qin Qi'an would only help Qin Qi'an."
"That's wrong. The Yang family is also at odds with us."
"Old Yang is cautious in his actions. It's not easy to find any evidence against him."
"If we can't find the evidence on him, we can start with his son and nephew. His son works in the Ministry of Rites and has learned his ways from his father, so it's hard to find evidence against him. So we can investigate his nephew Yang Lingyu. When he was the prefect of Huizhou Prefecture, I don't believe he didn't do anything..."
Yang Lingyu now serves as Shaoqing in the Dali Temple.
It has been a while since I was transferred back, but I have not yet achieved any outstanding political achievements.
Minister Yuan said thoughtfully, "I heard about the murder case in Jinhai Hutong before. The Dali Temple has been investigating for so long. Do you have any clues?"
"It seems that nothing has been found. It is said to be a suspected vendetta."
"Fighting in the underworld?"
This is a joke.
However, since neither side showed up, no one's interests were harmed, and no relatives of the deceased came forward, the government just found a random excuse to get away with it.
It can be seen that Yang Lingyu's ability is limited.
Minister Yuan immediately ordered people to go to Huizhou to investigate Yang Lingyu's past, and then asked people to make arrangements to teach Qin Chi a lesson.
It would be fine if someone took action, but if no one did, Qin Chi would live too comfortably and he would not be able to swallow that.
No matter what Minister Yuan thinks.
Qin Chi received warm care when he returned home.
After Song Jin showed his concern, it was the turn of others, and then Doctor Jing took his pulse and confirmed that he was in good health. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Wait for Qin Chi to finish dinner.
He brewed a pot of scented tea, sat in the hall and told everyone what had happened today.
Referring to the memorial written by the ministers after a day's hard work, Qin Chi smiled mysteriously, "The possibility of it being adopted is not high."
After listening to it, Song Jin said, "Isn't it well written?"
"Ha, according to the character of the person in the palace, the most likely thing is to adopt the proposal of Duke Ningguo." Old man Hong has eaten more salt than everyone present has eaten rice.
Everyone looked at him.
Song Jin frowned slightly, "Won't my husband be at a disadvantage?"
"It's not a big problem. At most it's just a financial loss." Old Man Hong thinks that things that can be solved with money are small matters.
We gathered for half an hour.
It was completely dark outside, and everyone dispersed.
Qin Chi returned to the dormitory after taking a shower.
Song Jin was tidying up the bed and clothes, putting them into a box. Qin Chi walked over to her, lent a hand, and handed her the folded clothes.
"Husband, you should rest early. You may be busy tomorrow." Song Jin reminded gently.
Qin Chi closed the box for her.
He took her hand and walked towards the bed.
Qin Chi pushed her to sit on the bed, put his hands on her shoulders, bent down slightly, leaned closer to her, and looked her in the eye, "Madam, buy a maid for you to serve. After all, Qin Qi was born as a secret guard, and she can't do the work of serving others."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sir."
Song Jin was confused.
Looking at his movements just now, I thought he was going to say something important, but it turns out he just wanted her to get another maid?
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Qin Chi sat down next to her and put his arm around her delicate shoulders. "I heard from Uncle Hong that the matter at the medicine store has been resolved?"
"Uncle Hong said it's solved."
There is no latest news about Song Jin yet.
Qin Chi added: "Then we have to wait for the reply from the palace."
This case has been reported to the emperor, and the government still needs to wait for the emperor's approval to make a verdict.
Qin Chi reminded again: "The medicine shop has offended the Liu family. Tell your people to be careful recently and don't let them catch you."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
If the master of the Liu family were to die in there, the Liu family would definitely not let the Jifang Pharmacy go easily.
Song Jin thought about it and said, "I opened a shop to give my family a place to stay, but now it has caught the attention of my enemies so quickly."
Qin Chi didn't know how to persuade him.
Do you think they are unlucky? Song Jin pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay. At worst, I can just close the shop."
"My lady, I am sorry. It is because I, as your husband, am incompetent that I cannot protect you openly."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with you?"
When Song Jin opened the shop, she did not use her own name. The shops were all under Song Jitao's name, including the business in Huizhou, which was not under her name.
This is also the reason why many forces cannot find the cause of her crime.
Everyone has things to do tomorrow.
The couple turned off the lights and went to bed early.
The next morning.
Qin Chi encountered a not-so-small accident on his way to the yamen.
As they passed by the entrance of a dark alley, two hungry wolfhounds with red eyes suddenly ran out from the alley and rushed straight towards Qin Chi and others.
Old Huo stood in front of Qin Chi.
With two quick strikes, the wolfhound was killed.
The case was then dragged to the government office for investigation, with officials saying that someone had deliberately attacked a court official. The officials investigated but found no clues, so the case naturally became an unsolved case again.
Since there was a court meeting yesterday, Qin Chi did not need to attend court today, so he went to the Yuhengsi Yamen of the Ministry of Works.
He first looked at what he had to do today, spent some time dealing with it, then handed the remaining finishing touches to Qin Ba, turned around and left the Yuheng Division and went to the Hanlin Academy.
Just entered the Hanlin Academy.
Qin Chi noticed that the atmosphere was unusual and everyone seemed to be very busy.
