Chapter 418 Chaos in the city


    Qin Chi quickly wrote this memorial and explained the situation.


    After the memorial was written, he handed it to Chen Qianhu.


    Chen Qianhu took the memorial to find the commander of the Jinyiwei. Not long after, the memorial was delivered to Emperor Mingcheng.


    When Emperor Mingcheng saw the memorial, he felt anger surged into his heart. After a moment, a fishy and sweet feeling surged in his throat. However, he quickly spitted blood into the tea bowl with the action of drinking tea, and then raised his head and drank it.


    He put down the teacup as if nothing had happened.


    Please the note to Mr. Xu Ge beside him.


    Mr. Xu Ge''s hand trembled slightly with the hand holding the memorial.


    The problem with the official granary was not without speculation. It was often either that there were disasters here or that there were disasters, and the granary was never full.


    After reading the memorial, Master Xu Ge returned to the imperial case, "Your Majesty, let go of the responsibility for whom you hold them up first. At present, the main thing is to ask Lord Qin to count the food and supplies in the lower city, so that he can know how long the city can last and whether he can wait for the army to come to aid."


    Emperor Cheng of Ming agreed with what he said.


    Xu Ge Lao changed the topic and suddenly said, "Is it possible that the Tatars in the northwest suddenly sent troops. Is it possible that they reached a consensus with the rebels to hold Prince Rui? The old minister has been thinking about it for so long, and the more he thinks, the more he is, the more he is, it is wrong. It seems that a big hand is controlling all this. After all, there are too many coincidences."


    "There is a strategist named Yan Jiangnan next to Helian Kai, who should be his work. I know that they are in the capital, but I don''t know where to hide."


    Emperor Ming Cheng took the memorial, waved his pen, wrote a correct word, and then stamped it with the emperor''s seal.


    Mr. Xu Ge said: "As long as you find the people, the situation in the capital can be reversed."


    "Yes, as long as the culprit dies, everything will be settled." Emperor Mingcheng is very determined to kill.


    Because the rebels were outside the city, they were restrained.


    However, the food problem broke out particularly quickly.


    Qin Chi took his men to the granary alley to inspect and found that most of the dozens of granaries were empty, and a few granaries with stored grain were less than half of the granaries.


    When Qin Chi started to check, he discovered a big problem.


    The outside layer is rice.


    The inside is almost full of rice bran mixed with gravel, so it is impossible to eat it at all.


    While Qin Chi was inspecting, he found movement outside.


    After a while.


    It was the commander of the Jinyiwei.


    Qin Chi greeted the other party, "Why is the commander here? But it''s just right."


    He pointed to the newly opened grain bag.


    The sack contains rice bran, and fine sand and stones are mixed in the rice bran.


    The commander of the Jinyiwei''s face turned dark, "I will report this to Your Majesty. If you have any questions, please take a look at the number of Qin Shangshu."


    "Can."


    Qin Chi is not vague in doing things.


    Check the accounts as quickly as possible, and then count the existing amount of grain. After checking that there was no problem, he did not keep it in his hand for a moment and handed over the number.


    Qin Chi didn''t care much about what would happen after Emperor Ming Cheng saw it, because it was dark and he wanted to go back to his house to rest.


    When he was in the mansion, Manager Tao had been waiting for a long time.


    "Young Master, the staff are ready. Also, Helian Kai and Yan Jiangnan have not yet left the Zhang Family Manor."


    "They are very stable."


    Qin Chi set up an ambush on the way to Zhangjiawan on the manor.


    He would not stop Helian Kai and others from entering the city, but he would prevent them from joining the rebels in Zhangjiawan. After so long, people just couldn''t come out.


    This was a bit beyond Qin Chi''s expectations.


    Qin Chi asked, "Uncle Tao, what situation did you say to let Helian Kai stay in the village and not join the rebels in Zhangjiawan?"


    As the head coach, Helian Kai should have gone to Zhangjiawan early, but in fact, others just didn’t go, and they were still guarding the Zhang family manor?


    "There is another thing that puzzled me. The Zhuangzi of Zhang''s family should have been exposed long ago, and Yan Jiangnan''s caution should have been changed early, but they just didn''t." Qin Chi''s questions came one by one.


    Manager Tao thought to himself, "Can it be that Zhuangzi has other mystery?"


    "Is there another mystery?"


    Qin Chi stood up suddenly.


    Zhang''s Zhuangzi is actually not far from the capital, only a few miles away.


    Helian Kai and Yan Jiangnan knew that the location was exposed, but they still stood there, indicating that there was a reason why they had to stay there. "Go and check it out, you must find out!"


    There are people outside the city.


    The city has been closed down, but people can''t get out, but the news can be spread.


    The chaos in the city was faster than others thought.


    Qin Chi woke up the next day and learned that news of food shortage in the city spread, and many people hiding at home took the risk of going out to buy food at the grain shop.


    However, the purchase of grain shops is limited by the government.


    Even so, the food is limited, and with the intentional instigation of someone, there are more people causing trouble on the streets, and smashing, looting and looting often happen.


    The superiors ordered that those who cause trouble would be killed.


    The officers and soldiers were killed immediately, and they didn''t even need to be imprisoned.


    After a pause, thousands of people died, causing panic, but fortunately, they temporarily suppressed the unrest. However, smart people know that this kind of peace is only temporary. The big reason is that there is still a lot of surplus food in the people''s homes, which may not be certain after a while.


    When people really reach the end of their journey, the deterrence of the government will become smaller.


    It will be inevitable that chaos will occur, unless someone solves the problem of food shortage in the city.


    Almost on the same day.


    Qin Chi was assassinated on his way to the yamen.


    The person was injured and unconscious, and he had an old disease, the situation became even worse. However, the first thing Qin Chi did when he woke up was still thinking about his duties, which moved the Jinyiwei who came to visit him.


    There was no other way. Chen Qianhu handed him a leave note and then handed him a complaint for Qin Chi. Emperor Mingcheng was suspicious and sent the imperial physician to the Qin Mansion. When he learned that Qin Chi was indeed injured and seriously ill, he allowed Qin Chi to recuperate at home and pushed the matter at hand to others.


    Some people suspect that Qin Chi did it on purpose.


    I checked on the grounds of visiting the hospital on the grounds of falsely visiting the hospital, but I didn’t see the problem, and I felt that Qin Chi was lucky.


    The city was in chaos very quickly.


    It’s only three days.


    No one robbed the streets, and commit crimes at night, and more and more cases of robbery in the house. Most of them occur in Xicheng. Most of the people live in Xicheng are people, with more poor people, and there are many people, with a mixture of dragons and snakes. Also, because there are no high-ranking officials here, the government''s inspection efforts are not very strong here.


    Gradually, it is not only Xicheng, but also happens in other places.


    At first, there were officers and soldiers going to check it out, but later they were delayed when reporting the case, saying that they could not be sent to the office.


    Cuihua Hutong, Qin Mansion.


    In the study, Qin Chi was sitting in front of the table, flipping through the information sent today.


    “The situation in this city is not right.”


    Old Huo, who was standing beside him, said with a straight face holding a weapon.


    Qin Ba next to him looked up, "What''s wrong?"


    "The government does not suppress the people who commit crimes, and even sends people to check them. Isn''t this condonation of crime?" Old Huo always felt like the court was on a passive strike.


    Emperor Ming Cheng had asked his son to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city before. Now his son is injured at home, so he should arrange for someone to take over the matter. Not only is there no one taking over now, but the chaos in the city is no longer suppressed.
