Chapter 401 The Food Delivery Person Disappears

"Wait a minute! Your Majesty, you can't just throw someone into jail based on Qin Qi'an's speculations. How will the world view you?" At this time, Elder Wen stood up and spoke for Minister Zhang, "I beg Your Majesty to withdraw your order."

Emperor Mingcheng looked stern and asked, "Do you want to go in and accompany him?"

Wen Ge Lao felt cold all over and knelt down, "I dare not, please calm down, Your Majesty."

At this time he regretted standing up and begging for mercy.

During the conversation between the emperor and his ministers, Minister Zhang was dragged out by the guards.

The deliberations continued.

The candidate remains undecided.

Emperor Ming Cheng glanced coldly at all the ministers and asked if anyone had taken the initiative to go, but no one came out.

The time of the grand court meeting came to noon in agony. Some court officials who had not eaten breakfast were so hungry that their stomachs growled. They all hoped that the candidate would be decided quickly so that they could be rescued. Judging from the attitude of Emperor Ming Cheng today, he would not leave the court without confirming the candidate.

Among the civil servants standing at the back, one stepped out.

Dong Xingde knelt down and asked for permission, "I am Dong Xingde, the Right Secretary of the Dali Temple. I am willing to go to Jianning to help my king relieve his worries."

Qin Chi turned around and glanced at Dong Xingde.

He didn't expect Dong Xingde to stand up. This was not an easy task. The master behind the rebels was Helian Gun, and it was impossible for him to be recruited. Because he was in the hall, Qin Chi had no chance to give Dong Xingde some advice.

After some discussion.

The task officially fell on Dong Xingde's head.

Dong Xingde was a top scholar in the imperial examination, and currently holds the fifth-rank official position, making him a perfect candidate.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty couldn't wait to leave the court.

All the civil and military officials respectfully saw the emperor off and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The hungry officials waited for their superiors to go first and then followed them out.

Qin Chi had just stepped out of the hall when he was accidentally bumped into by a young eunuch.

The young eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale and he apologized repeatedly. Qin Chi gathered his sleeves and sent him away casually.

After walking a few steps, a few people followed him, including Minister Wang, Jiang Qiwen and others, all of whom were officials from the Ministry of Works.

Qin Chi asked: "Why are you following me?"

"Sir, I'm sorry for what I have done to you in the past. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me this time." Minister Wang took two steps back and bowed deeply.

Qin Chi's gaze lingered on Minister Wang for two breaths, then he looked at the other doctors from the Ministry of Works, all of whom had uneasiness written all over their faces. "Alright, alright, who do you think I am? Minister Zhang's affairs have nothing to do with me. I don't have that much ability. It was the Zhang family who brought this upon themselves."

Minister Wang stood up straight immediately and approached Qin Chi carefully, "Your Excellency, do you mean there is something else going on here?"

"Of course."

Qin Chi knew that these guys were frightened by Minister Zhang’s incident. They were not worried about what they should worry about, but were entangled in things that they should not worry about. If they were someone with more insight, wouldn’t their biggest concern right now be the demise of Daxia?

The Jianning rebels did give most officials in the court a sense of oppression, but not too much. Perhaps these people had blind confidence in Daxia, thinking that the rebels were just a more difficult problem, but not a very difficult one to solve.

A disaster may be imminent, but it is still unknown.

It was noon.

Not many people returned to the yamen to work, and most of them went to eat first.

When Qin Chi went over, he saw Qin Ba and Lao Huo.

The two of them were waiting for Qin Chi boredly.

Qin Ba approached Qin Chi and whispered, "Sir, lunch has not been delivered to our house today. It has been more than two quarters of an hour."

Qin Chi's eyes darkened slightly, "Let's go back home to eat."

"Okay, I'll drive the carriage over here." Qin Ba turned and went to where the carriage was parked.

Old Li was injured these days and was recovering from his injury. Qin Ba was the temporary driver. On the way back, they did not meet anyone who came to deliver food, and they did not see him until they got home.

Qin Ba saw Old Man Hong standing guard at the door and asked quietly, "Uncle Hong, why didn't you bring food to the young master today?"

"No?"

Old Man Hong was shocked, "Eleven and Twelve went to deliver it!"

"Impossible, I didn't see anyone." Qin Ba said firmly.

Usually, the two secret guards who went to deliver the food were two people who were transferred from the dark to the light. They were sent to prevent someone from playing tricks and putting drugs in the food. Now it seems that the two are missing? Qin Chi got off the carriage and soon found out about this. He sneered, "The other party is getting more and more impatient."

Immediately arrange for someone to investigate the matter.

He strode into the mansion.

When people return to the mansion, the guards no longer need to follow. Old Huo went to the kitchen first, and Qin Ba also went to the kitchen to ask the kitchen to prepare some food for Qin Chi.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Qin Chi walked along the corridor and looked at the door of the main hall from afar. There was a strange maid guarding the door. He paused. The maid guarding the hall also noticed Qin Chi.

The maid lowered her head and went into the hall.

Qin Chi just turned around and saw Old Man Hong hurriedly catching up with him.

Qin Chi looked towards the main hall and asked, "Uncle Hong, are there any guests at home today?"

Just now, Old Man Hong was eager to arrange people to investigate the disappearance, and forgot to remind Qin Chi that there was a distinguished guest in the mansion. So he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Sir, today Miss Wu and Miss Zhang are here to look for Madam."

"Them again?" Qin Chi frowned.

He knew very well what these two women were thinking.

Instead of going to the hall, he went to the study.

After passing through a moon gate, there is a courtyard with some decorative flowers and plants. Qin Chi did not go directly through the courtyard, but walked along the corridor.

When I was halfway through the walk, I suddenly heard a woman behind me cry out "Ouch!", followed by a muffled groan. It sounded like someone had fallen down.

Qin Chi stopped, turned around and looked back.

He suddenly saw a woman half-lying on the ground under the Moon Gate. She was wearing a pink armor and a light green skirt. She screamed in pain when she fell, then frowned, looking so delicate as if she was about to cry, and then raised her watery eyes to look at Qin Chi.

The two were not far apart.

It was about several feet away, so Qin Chi could see it clearly.

With just one glance, Qin Chi knew who this woman was.

The visitors today are the young ladies from the Wu and Zhang families. He has met Wu Jingyao but not Zhang Yanzi.

Qin Yi in the dark was extremely upset.

Seeing that the woman was chasing after the young master and was about to pass through the Moon Gate, Qin Yi hit Zhang Yanzi's ankle with a stone. His intention was to stop Zhang Yanzi and at the same time remind Qin Chi that there was someone behind him.

But in the current situation, Qin Yi feels that something is not right.

Zhang Yanzi fell down and started to look embarrassed, but she reacted too quickly and straightened her posture. She looked pitiful, and Qin Yi found that she was very beautiful.

She looks even more beautiful when she is pitiful.

He doubted whether his son could bear it, especially if he looked back and saw such a beauty suffering, would he show sympathy to her?
