I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 417 Food Crisis

Just half eaten lunch.

Qin Chi saw Chen Qianhu striding in with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

"Sir, did you just have lunch?"

Chen Qianhu asked in surprise.

Qin Chi put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips, then wiped his hands and said, "Have you used it, Mr. Chen?"

"Used."

Chen Qianhu glanced at Qin Ba standing aside.

Qin Ba stood aside with lowered eyebrows and no intention of leaving. Chen Qianhu added: "I couldn't wait for you outside for a long time, so I came here to take a look."

"Thank you for remembering me."

Qin Chi glanced at Qin Ba.

Qin Ba understood the idea and bent forward to clear the table, put Qin Chi's unfinished food back into the food box, and carried it to the tea room of the Yamen. When he came out, he brought out a kettle of boiling water and took out the tea set from the cabinet.

There is no technical content.

Clean the tea set, put a small amount of tea leaves into two celadon tureens, pour the tea with hot water, pour the water out, then pour in water, cover the lid, and bring it to Qin Chi and Chen Qianhu.

Qin Ba's method of making tea is rough.

Qin Chi drank like this before and never said anything bad about it.

Chen Qianhu also has no research on tea ceremony. A cup of tea can quench his thirst. The most important thing is that the tea is brewed in public, so there is no need to worry about anyone tampering with it.

Qin Chi picked up the tea and blew the hot air.

Chen Qianhu said complexly: "Master Qin can sit still."

"I'm just talking, but the people below are the ones doing the real work." Qin Chi said it frankly, making Chen Qianhu speechless for a moment.

This is the benefit of being a leader.

Chen Qianhu looked around the room, then sat next to Qin Chi and whispered: "You don't care about the Wu family? I heard that you and the eldest daughter of the Wu family are discussing marriage?"

"Is this the time for children to grow in love?"

Qin Chi stopped drinking tea and glanced at Chen Qianhu coolly, "Besides, I have nothing to do with the Wu family. The Wu family plotted against me in the first place, and I don't believe that Jinyiwei will not find out."

Chen Qianhu quickly confessed, "I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to tell you that the Wu family is gone."

"No more?" Qin Chi looked surprised.

Chen Qianhu told the truth: "The rebels went to the Wu family when they fled. By the time the officers and soldiers searched for the Wu family, the Wu family had been wiped out."

It goes without saying what the words mean.

According to Jin Yiwei's inference, the rebels had great resentment towards Qin Chi. These rebels are all bandits, and burning, killing, and looting are common things they do. If they fail to defeat them, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

In fact, it was also the Wu family that was unlucky.

He Liankai suffered several serious losses at the hands of Qin Chi, and the rebels' resentment against Qin Chi was greater than outsiders knew.

Qin Chi's wife and children were missing again.

The Wu family, who were rumored to be marrying Qin Chi, fell into the eyes of some rebels. When they fled, they all picked up the Wu Bohou Mansion. Otherwise, the Wu family, a poor family, would not have been able to join the rebels. List.

Chen Qianhu whispered again: "The rebels thought Miss Wu was your fiancée and left notes in her room. They were all disgusting words."

The general idea was that you kill my brother and I will sleep with your woman, etc. They were very vindictive and Chen Qianhu did not say them out loud.

Qin Chi really didn't know these details.

Seeing that Qin Chi didn't say a word and seemed to be in a bad mood, Chen Qianhu consoled him: "The disaster in Wu Bohou Mansion is entirely your own fault. It is not your fault, sir, and you don't need to blame yourself." Qin Chi said in his heart There was no fluctuation, but he still sighed and said: "After all, I am involved, but I didn't expect that there are so many people who hate me among the rebels. Mr. Chen would be better not to get too close to me in the future."

Wu Jingyao had planned it first.

It's really no wonder Qin Chi.

Chen Qianhu shook his head, "Master Qin, you are overly worried. To be honest, when approaching other officials, you have to worry about whether they are rebel spies. But it is different when I am with you. You don't have to worry about this at all. , Sometimes I’m curious about what you did to make the rebels so resentful, as if you dug up their ancestral graves.”

Qin Chi laughed twice and quickly changed the topic.

Almost at the same time.

Outside the city, Zhang's manor.

When He Liankai learned about the situation in the city last night, he was so angry that his face was as cold as frost, "A thousand people can't kill him, life is really tough."

Yan Jiangnan nodded, "Qin Qi'an is indeed difficult to kill. How many people did we lose just to kill him? Looking back, I feel that the gain was not worth the loss."

Hearing this, He Liankai did not refute for the first time.

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

Because this is a fact.

Yan Jiangnan advised again: "Lord, it's not appropriate 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 strength of the troops here was not as good as the safety in Zhangjiawan, and added, "We must capture the capital before reinforcements arrive. As long as we enter the palace as soon as possible and kill Emperor Mingcheng, some problems can be solved Easy to solve."

No matter how hard you fight in this world.

After all, the world belongs to the Helian family.

Yan Jiangnan had already set up a secret plot in the city.

Normally it cannot be found.

At this time, Yan Jiangnan still didn't know that no one would notice the secret plot they had set up, but there was an abnormal Qin Chi who immediately suggested to Emperor Ming Cheng to investigate the food reserves in the city.

No, the problem was discovered quickly.

Still a big problem.

Now Qin Chi was holding the results of the investigation with a solemn expression on his face. Chen Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei who followed him, naturally knew about it. After all, Qin Chi had to give orders in front of others to investigate or do anything.

After reading the results of the investigation, Qin Chi said: "Mr. Chen, after asking most of the grain shops in Beijing, 90% of their grain stocks have long been bought by others at high prices. A few grain merchants noticed something was wrong and hid part of it. The grain was not sold, and the granary was burned down by the rebels last night. This was obviously planned for a long time. "

Chen Qianhu was surprised, "Why is there no news about such a big thing?"

"Those grain merchants have been silenced by buyers."

A large deal was reached, and the buyer requested that the sale of grain should not be disclosed to outsiders for a month. This small request did not affect the interests of the grain merchants, and no one should comply. Therefore, more than ten days passed, and nothing happened. spread the word.

The grain merchants in the city had no grain in stock.

This is a big problem!

Qin Chi said solemnly: "This situation should be reported to His Majesty immediately. According to the rebels' intention, I am worried that there will be a problem with the government's granary. Of course, I am not saying that there will definitely be a problem. I just suggest that someone be sent to check. No. Questions are the best, and you can prepare early if there are any problems.”

"What Qin Shangshu said makes sense."

Chen Qianhu knew this and said it in a subtle way.

The granary of the government has never been secure. If we investigate now, I am afraid that a number of officials will be killed afterwards. But now it's so urgent that they can't help but pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty left this problem to Qin Chi.

It's okay for Qin Chi to report now.

After procrastinating for a long time, the day came when the city ran out of food, and the responsibility fell to him.
