Chapter 417 Food Crisis
Just half of the lunch.
Qin Chi saw Chen Qianhu walking in with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.
"Sir, are you just using lunch?"
Chen Qianhu asked in surprise.
Qin Chi put down the bowls and chopsticks, took out the handkerchief and wiped his lips, then wiped his hands and said, "Have you used it by Lord Chen?"
“Used.”
Chen Qianhu glanced at Qin Ba next to him.
Qin Ba stood aside with his eyebrows down and his eyes down, not intending to leave. Chen Qianhu said again: "I haven''t been waiting for the adults outside for a long time, so I came here to take a look."
"You''re thinking about it if you''re done."
Qin Chi glanced at Qin Ba.
Qin Ba understood it, bent forward and packed the table, took Qin Chi''s unfinished meal back into the food box, took it to the tea room in the yamen, and when he came out, he brought a kettle of boiling water, and took out the tea set from the cabinet.
There is no technical content.
Clean the tea set, put the tea leaves into two celadon cover bowls, pour the tea with hot water, pour out the water, then pour in water, cover it, and bring it to Qin Chi and Chen Qianhu.
Qin Ba’s tea making method is rough.
Qin Chi drank this way before, and he never said it was bad.
Chen Qianhu also has no research on tea ceremony, and if a cup of tea can quench thirst, it will be done. The most important thing is to make tea in public, so don’t worry about someone making trouble.
Qin Chi picked up the tea and blew the heat.
Chen Qianhu said complicatedly: "Mr. Qin can sit still."
"I just talked, and the ones who really worked were also the ones below." Qin Chi said it out loud, making Chen Qianhu silent for a moment.
This is the benefit of being a superior.
Chen Qianhu looked around the house, then sat next to Qin Chi and whispered: "Don''t you care about the Wu family? I heard that you and the eldest lady of the Wu family are discussing marriage?"
“Is it time for children to have a long love life?”
Qin Chi took a tea and glanced at Chen Qianhu coldly, "Besides, I have nothing to do with the Wu family. The Wu family planned to plot against me, but I don''t believe that the Jinyiwei would not be able to find out."
Chen Qianhu quickly accused him of crime, "I have no malice, I just want to tell you that the Wu family is gone."
"None?" Qin Chi looked surprised.
Chen Qianhu revealed the truth: "When the rebels fled, they went to the Wu family. When the officers and soldiers searched for the Wu family, the Wu family had been destroyed."
There is no need to say what is in the words.
According to the inference of the Jinyiwei, the rebels had great resentment towards Qin Chi. These rebels are all from bandits, and burning, killing, looting is a common thing. If you can''t beat them, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
In fact, it is also the Wu family’s unlucky.
Helian Kai suffered several great losses in Qin Chi''s hands, and the resentment of the rebels towards Qin Chi was greater than what outsiders knew.
Qin Chi''s wife and children are missing.
The Wu family, which was rumored to marry Qin Chi, would have fallen into the eyes of some rebels, and they both took the Wu Bohou Mansion when they fled. Otherwise, with a down-and-out family, the rebels would not be able to enter the rebels'' list of kills.
Chen Qianhu whispered again: "The rebels thought Miss Wu was your fiancée, and they left words in her room, which were all unsightly words."
The general idea is that you kill my brother, I will go to your woman and wait for a bastard, and he is very revengeful, and Chen Qianhu didn''t say it.
Qin Chi really doesn’t know these details.
Seeing that Qin Chi had not spoken a word and was in a bad mood, Chen Qianhu comforted, "The disaster in Wu Bohou''s mansion is purely caused by one''s own fault. You don''t need to blame yourself." Qin Chi did not have any fluctuations in his heart, and he sighed, "After all, I was implicated by me, but I didn''t expect that there were so many people in the rebels who hated me. Lord Chen should not be too close to me in the future."
Wu Jingyao''s plan was first.
It’s true that Qin Chi is no wonder.
Chen Qianhu shook his head, "Mr. Qin is too worried. To be honest, when you get close to other officials, you have to worry about whether it will be a rebel spy. It is different from you. Don''t worry about this at all. Sometimes I''m very curious about what you did, which makes the rebels so resentful, as if you went to dig their ancestral grave."
Qin Chi laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject.
Almost at the same time.
Outside the city, Zhang Family Manor.
Helian Kai was so angry that his face was as cold as frost when he learned about the situation in the city last night, "No one thousand people can kill him, his life is so strong."
Yan Jiangnan nodded, "Qin Qi''an is really hard to kill. Just to kill him, how many people have we lost in? Looking back, it feels not worth the loss."
Hearing this, Helian Kai did not refute for the first time.
Because this is a fact.
Yan Jiangnan advised again: "My lord, it''s not advisable to stay here for a long time. It''s time to go to Zhangjiawan to take charge of the overall situation."
Yan Jiangnan estimated that the troops here were not as safe as Zhangjiawan, and said another sentence, "Before reinforcements arrived, we must take down the capital. As long as we enter the palace as soon as possible and kill Emperor Ming Cheng, some problems can be solved."
No matter how the world fights.
After all, it is the Helian family''s world.
Yan Jiangnan had already set up a secret move in the city.
Generally speaking, it cannot be discovered.
Yan Jiangnan didn''t know that they had set up secret tricks. No one would notice, but there was an unusual Qin Chi who suggested that Emperor Ming Cheng investigate the grain reserve problem in the city as soon as possible.
No, the problem was discovered soon.
Still a big problem.
Now Qin Chi took the results of the investigation and looked very serious. Chen Qianhu, the Jinyiwei who was following him, naturally knew that. After all, what Qin Chi wanted to investigate or do was ordered in front of others.
After reading the results of the investigation, Qin Chi said, "Mr. Chen, I asked most of the grain shops in Beijing. Ninety percent of their stored grain had been bought by people at high prices. A few grain merchants noticed that something was wrong and concealed some of the grain and did not sell it. The granary was burned by the rebels last night. This was obviously a long time planning."
Chen Qianhu was surprised, "Why is there no news about such a big thing?"
“Those grain merchants were sealed by buyers.”
A large transaction was reached, and the buyer asked that the sale of grain should not be disclosed within one month. This small request did not affect the interests of the grain merchants, and no one refused to respond. Therefore, more than ten days passed and the matter did not spread.
Grain merchants in the city did not store grain.
This problem is a big deal!
Qin Chi said solemnly again: "This situation should be reported to Your Majesty immediately. According to the rebels'' intention, I am worried about problems in the official granary. Of course, I am not saying that there will be problems. I just suggest that someone be sent to check it out. It is best if there is no problem. If there is any problem, you can prepare early."
"The Qin Shangshu''s words are reasonable."
Chen Qianhu knew about this and he was subtle.
The government’s granary has never been safe. If you investigate now, a group of officials will probably be put into the ground later. But now they are in trouble, so they can''t help pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Emperor Cheng of Ming threw this problem to Qin Chi.
It’s okay for Qin Chi to report now.
After a long delay, the day after the food was cut off in the city, the responsibility was his.
