Chapter 77 Disgusting Expression
Pei Qing was surprised that Qin Jinzhi was so efficient!
The Pacification Commissioner is here to travel south on behalf of His Majesty!
As long as Pei Jinnian handles this matter well, it will be a natural progression for him to enter the court and assume the position of Prefect of the Capital. People in the capital will have nothing to say about it.
Qin Jinzhi planned everything very meticulously.
In the past thirty years, he has never thought of using the phrase "almost superhumanly intelligent" to describe a junior.
From that moment on, the Pei family truly became the adversary of all other powerful families.
The floods in Jiangnan will inevitably involve countless forces.
If Pei Jinnian handles the task well, the Pei family will definitely rise to a higher level.
The powerful families that have been dragged into this will certainly not let it go easily!
At that moment, he understood Qin Jinzhi's words.
Pei Jinnian's journey is bound to be fraught with danger, with a slim chance of survival.
Pei Qing hadn't felt that burning sensation in her brain in a long time!
The emperor ordered people to resettle the refugees, and everyone evacuated from the horse farm.
When Qin Jinzhi left, she noticed that two people were following her.
They didn't get close, they just followed.
Qin Jinzhi was speechless, and said to Yun Que, "Go and take those two quails to the carriage."
When Cui Ying and Pei Jinnian got into the car, they both looked at each other with some surprise!
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here again?
Cui Ying quietly moved closer to Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi sighed, "Why are you two following me instead of going back to the manor?"
Cui Ying glared at her.
Our business is not for outsiders to discuss!
Pei Jinnian glanced at Cui Ying. What's wrong with this Miss Cui? She can't listen to what he says!
In an instant, they both saw disdain in each other's eyes.
Qin Jinzhi wanted to scratch her head. These two were actually quite a good match, so why was she trying to break them up?
She said to Yun Que, "Send Pei Jinnian back to his residence first."
Pei Jinnian glanced at Cui Ying, then at Qin Jinzhi.
Cui Ying moved closer to Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi simply closed her eyes.
What a terrible thing to do!
Along the way, Pei Jinnian and Cui Ying stared at each other in silence.
Upon arriving at the Pei residence, Pei Jinnian hesitated to speak.
Qin Jinzhi said, "Let's go!"
He then got up and got out of the car.
Pei Jinnian knew that Qin Jinzhi wanted to talk to him alone.
He glanced at Cui Ying with a hint of smugness on his face and then got out of the car with Qin Jinzhi.
Cui Ying clicked her tongue in exasperation. What a disgusting expression he had on his face!
After getting out of the carriage, Pei Jinnian still glanced at it with concern.
Qin Jinzhi said, "Don't worry, she can't hear."
Pei Jinnian was a little flustered for a moment. “His Majesty ordered me to set off tomorrow. I know you are paving the way for me. Don’t worry, I will definitely do a good job on this mission.”
Qin Jinzhi tossed him a token. "I will send people to follow you. If there is any danger, they will protect you. However, they will only protect you, not risk their lives for you. If you encounter any insurmountable danger, they will leave you."
Pei Jinnian was just about to be happy when he was doused with cold water.
“I know there will be danger on this trip, but I will prove that I am worthy of the Pei family’s cooperation with you.”
Qin Jinzhi turned and left, saying, "I only care about the results."
Pei Jinnian held the token in his hand and watched the carriage leave.
As soon as Qin Jinzhi got into the car, she saw Cui Ying secretly peering out the window.
Upon seeing her return, he felt embarrassed as if he had been caught red-handed, saying, "I wasn't eavesdropping."
"The carriage is specially made; when the curtains are drawn, you can't hear what's being said outside."
Cui Ying's eyes widened. "I knew it was so quiet!"
Qin Jinzhi leaned back in the soft sleeper and rubbed her temples.
"What do you want with me?"
Cui Ying immediately said, "You said I'd play polo with you, so tell me why you're helping me."
Qin Jinzhi opened her eyes and looked at her. "What do you think about what happened today?"
Cui Ying was about to speak in a low voice when she realized that no one outside the car could hear her, so she cleared her throat.
"Were today's refugees let in by you?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Continue."
Cui Ying continued, "Your clothes today, and your decision to make me play polo with Pei Jinnian and the Seventeenth Prince, were all intentional. And I saw it! You were the one who pulled the Seventeenth Prince off his horse!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled. "Why would I do that?"
"You want Pei Jinnian to investigate the disaster situation in Jiangnan!"
"Anything else?"
Cui Ying cautiously approached Qin Jinzhi, "The main branch of the Shen family is in Jiangnan. You wouldn't be thinking of taking action against the Shen family, would you?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and stared at her, "Did you write the policy essay that made your second brother famous back then?"
Cui Ying never expected that Qin Jinzhi would know about this.
She didn't say anything.
"Your second brother was promoted to Vice Censor-in-Chief by His Majesty because of that policy essay."
Investigate corrupt officials and uphold discipline.
For major issues, the matter was debated in court; for minor issues, it was impeached in court.
From the prime minister down to the lowest-ranking official, all were subject to impeachment by the censors.
He did get you the seat you wanted, but he didn't do a single thing you wanted to do.
Cui Ying said awkwardly, "My second brother is quite capable, but the various powerful families in the court are so intertwined that there are some things he can't do."
Qin Jinzhi propped herself up on one leg, her voice leisurely yet deafening.
"But what he can't do, I can do!"
Cui Ying really thought Qin Jinzhi was quite wicked, so wicked that she wasn't even afraid of people knowing.
She's quite vicious; she doesn't care about human life at all.
Du Chong was clearly acting under someone's orders to kill someone and silence them.
Qin Jinzhi swiftly and decisively killed the guard with an arrow to the throat.
If Minister Du hadn't spoken up, she suspected that Qin Jinzhi would have strangled Du Chong on the spot!
But what terrified her the most was that she actually thought Qin Jinzhi had done nothing wrong!
If she had that power, she would do the same!
However, she might have some self-respect, unlike Qin Jinzhi who is so obviously wicked.
But it is precisely because of her viciousness, arrogance, and cruelty.
Surprisingly, not a single person in the capital felt that anything was amiss!
Because she is inherently a bad person!
If Qin Jinzhi hadn't deliberately shown her this side of herself, she would never have discovered what Qin Jinzhi was really up to.
"Want to taste the power?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at her casually, but the words she spoke were like the whispers of a devil, tightly tempting her.
If she had such power, what she wanted to do for the people would no longer be just empty talk!
Cui Ying's eyes widened. "I'll make His Majesty bestow upon me the title of Princess! And if I ever encounter someone like Shen Huan again, I'll strangle a few of them for fun!"
Qin Jinzhi laughed out loud at Cui Ying's joke, which was why she chose Cui Ying.
Intelligent, well-connected, with her own opinions, thoughtful, and not overly compassionate—this is the kind of person cultivated in a large family. Too kind a person can't stay by her side.
Most importantly, she is very hypocritical. Over the years, many women in the capital have been on good terms with her, but none of them have discovered her true nature.
Qin Jinzhi handed a memorial to Cui Ying.
"I will petition His Majesty to establish the Thousand Birds Guard!"
We're still short a deputy envoy. Will you come?"
