I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Snooping for news

“Master Qin? Why are you here?”

Wen Shidu said in surprise.

When he called out, he was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, “I have met Bachelor Qin and I made a mistake just now. Please forgive me.”

“No problem, no problem. By the way, I haven’t been to the Hanlin Academy for a few days. There happened to be nothing at the Ministry of Industry, so I came over to see if there was anything I could do.” Qin Chi smiled and returned the greeting.

Then, Qin Chi glanced around, “Everyone is busy?”

“Oh.”

Wen Shidu’s laughter was very forced and he didn’t say much.

Next.

Qin Chi went to see Yan Zhangyuan.

Yan Xianqing’s eyelids jumped when he saw Qin Chi, “You rare guest, why are you here when you have time?”

“There is nothing going on at the Ministry of Industry. I came here to see if there is any work that I need to do. After all, I still have the title of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.” Qin Chi can be said to be the youngest bachelor in this dynasty.

Yan Xianqing was speechless, “I won’t need you if anything happens. There are still a few bachelors in the Hanlin Academy. If His Majesty hadn’t asked you to accompany him, other bachelors would have been vying to appear in front of His Majesty.”

“Then I feel relieved.”

Qin Chi didn’t care at all about being robbed of his job.

Yan Xianqing looked outside the door and saw that no one had pulled Qin Chi away. He whispered about Mao Shaojie again, “With Yuan Shangshu’s connections, he no longer suffered any physical pain, but he was dismissed from office.”

“Then he’s lucky. If something happens, he still has a father-in-law to help him.” Qin Chi’s tone was deliberately sour.

Yan Xianqing laughed loudly and pointed at him. From the look in his eyes, it was clear that everyone knew what he was talking about.

People who work in official circles have some things that they don’t need to say.

As long as everyone understands.

While chatting, the topic of Qin Chi stabbing Lou Zi came up. Qin Chi took the initiative to bring up the matter, “I feel uneasy. I don’t know how your majesty will approve it. There is no certainty about this matter, so I have been thinking about it.”

Hearing this, Yan Xianqing understood.

This guy came here specifically to inquire about the news today.

No wonder he came to Hanlin Academy.

Don’t underestimate the Qingshui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy. Nine times out of ten, the people who know the trends of the imperial court the fastest are the officials of the Hanlin Academy.

Yan Xianqing did not hide this, “His Majesty has sent a decree, and he has asked people from the Hanlin Academy to draft the document. Even if I don’t tell you now, you will know it soon.”

“Then why don’t you just tell me?”

Qin Chi beat the snake with the stick, took out half a catty of pepper from his arms, and stuffed it into Yan Xianqing’s hand.

Yan Xianqing sniffed it and raised his brows, “You have good connections. I’ll ask the butler to visit all the shops in the capital. Either it will cost me my life or it will be gone.”

Not available on the market.

Erdao dealers have it, and the price is very high.

Qin Chi smiled and didn’t reply.

Yan Xianqing didn’t necessarily ask him to tell him the way out. He looked at the door again, and when he saw no one around, he whispered in Qin Chi’s ear.

Qin Chi’s expression did not change at all when he listened, and it was unclear what he was thinking in his heart.

Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty did not act according to reason.

He did not adopt any of the memorials that the ministers worked so hard to write yesterday. Today, he issued a decree and prepared to let officials from the DPRK and China settle the bad debts. The documents are being drafted.

The emperor has never done such a ridiculous thing in the history of the country.

“The bad debts of each yamen are the responsibility of the yamen themselves. According to His Majesty’s wishes, the higher the rank of officials, the greater the amount of apportionment. Officials who cannot afford the money can use their future salaries to pay for it.” Yan Xianqing wanted to say that he was worthy of the payment. It’s your Majesty, he is the only one who can come up with this idea.

When the treasury was empty, spices and cloth were used to replace the salary. Nowadays, it is understandable to use things that are not needed in the inventory. Anyway, there are precedents for reference.

In fact, the consequences of doing so are endless.

The salary of the imperial court itself is not high, and it is not easy for officials to support a large family with their salary alone. If such an incident occurs again, it will almost intimidate some relatively honest officials to bend the law for personal gain, take corruption and accept bribes, and the impact will be very bad.

Qin Chi left Yan Xianqing.

Go find Lu Yanji and Lu Baizhou again. Sure enough, I saw the two of them drafting documents.

Qin Chi thought to himself that Uncle Hong had indeed guessed it. Emperor Ming Cheng was more inclined to Ning Guogong’s proposal. Generally speaking, a far-sighted king would not do such a thing as killing the goose that lays the goose to obtain the egg.

I left the Hanlin Academy with a heavy heart.

Qin Chi returned to the Ministry of Industry.

As soon as I arrived at the Ministry of Industry, I heard the news that Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty had approved the memorial of the governor and asked him to judge according to the law.

Liu Bingzheng was involved.

Due to pressure, the governor still sentenced Liu Guangrun to three years in prison. The other accomplices received similar punishments.

This case became the fastest to be adjudicated in Beijing this year.

The news reached the Liu family.

When the old lady of the Liu family heard this, she was so angry that she fainted.

The woman in the back house was in chaos.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

“Go and invite the master quickly. The old lady was so angry that she fainted when she heard that the master had been sentenced to three years in prison.”

There was an old woman who was serving the old lady and she quickly sent someone to inform her.

Liu Bingzheng and others, who were discussing the matter in the study, were very angry when they heard the news. “Didn’t they tell you not to tell the old lady the news? Who leaked the news?”

“Yes, it’s the eldest lady’s family.” The attendant responded with a trembling voice.

This made Liu Bingzheng angry to death.

If his mother has any shortcomings, he will worry about it.

During this period, officials need to return home to mourn, and their promotions and salaries are suspended. Therefore, he reminded the people in the house early not to spread the news to the old lady’s yard. The old lady usually loved his eldest son Liu Guangrun the most.

Asking his entourage to get the medicine box, Liu Bing was going to diagnose and treat the old lady himself.

The other men of the Liu family also followed.

The second master of the Liu family asked: “Father, what should I do with my eldest brother? Do you want to take care of it and find someone to accommodate you?”

“We have found all the people we should look for, who else can we look for? Now that His Majesty is paying attention to this matter, who dares to help at this time?” Liu Bingzheng was equally anxious.

It’s not like he doesn’t have connections.

It always felt like a waste to use it on his eldest son.

Liu Bingzheng went to the back house.

When the old lady woke up from the coma, he agreed to ask for help at the old lady’s request.

Left the backyard.

After Liu Bingzheng was entangled, he contacted the other party secretly.

An hour later.

A man came to Cuihua Hutong to look for Song Jin, and he took the back door.

Song Jin met with someone in private.

After the man saluted, he respectfully reported: “My boss, Liu Bingzheng’s eldest son went to a grocery store on West Street. He only bought a few things and left…”

Of course there’s more to it than that.

The grocery store was just a cover to convey the news, and Liu Bingzheng seemed to be planning to meet someone. After Liu’s parents left, the shopkeeper of the grocery store went out to a tea shop.

It’s been half a cup of tea.

The shopkeeper went to Yang’s Mansion and met the long attendant beside Mr. Yang Ge.

“Yes, there is a reward.”

Song Jin was so happy that he took out a hundred taels of silver notes and said, “Go back and share it with your brothers.”

“Thank you boss for the reward.”

The man stepped back happily.
