I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl!

Chapter 418 Chaos in the city

Qin Chi quickly wrote a note explaining the situation.

After he finished writing the book, he handed it to Chen Qianhu.

Chen Qianhu took the zhezi to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and not long after, the zhezi was delivered to Emperor Mingcheng.

When Emperor Mingcheng saw Zhezi, a surge of anger surged into his heart. After a moment, a fishy sweetness surged up in his throat. However, he quickly spit out the blood into the teacup with the action of drinking tea, then raised his head and drank. Go down.

He put down the tea cup as if nothing had happened.

Give the fold to Mr. Xuge on the side.

Mr. Xu Ge's hand holding the fold trembled slightly.

Mr. Xuge had no doubts about the problem of the government granary. There was often a disaster here or somewhere, and the granary was never full.

After reading the excerpt, Mr. Xuge returned to the imperial cabinet and said, "Your Majesty, let's put down the responsibility for whoever is held accountable first. The most important thing now is to let Mr. Qin count the food, grass and materials in the city. At least we know how long the city can hold out and whether it can wait for the army. Come to the aid.”

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty agreed with what he said.

Old Xuge changed the topic and suddenly said: "The Northwestern Tatars suddenly sent troops. Is it possible that they reached a consensus with the rebels to hold back Prince Rui? The old minister has been thinking about it for so long, and the more he thinks about it, the more something is wrong. It seems that There is a big hand controlling all of this, after all, there are too many coincidences.”

"There is a counselor beside He Liankai named Yan Jiangnan. It should be his work. I know that they are in the capital, but I don't know where they are hiding."

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty took the fold, wrote the correct characters with a big stroke of his pen, and then stamped it with the emperor's seal.

Mr. Xuge said: "As long as we find this person, the situation in the capital can be reversed."

"Yes, as long as the culprit dies, everything will be settled." Emperor Mingcheng was very murderous.

Since the rebels were outside the city, they restrained themselves.

However, the food problem broke out particularly quickly.

Qin Chi took people to check the alleys of the granaries and found that most of the dozens of granaries were empty. A few granaries had grain in them, and the grain was less than half of the granaries.

When he started checking, Qin Chi discovered a big problem.

The outer layer is rice.

The inside is almost entirely filled with rice bran mixed with gravel, making it inedible at all.

While Qin Chi was checking, he noticed movement outside.

After a while.

It was the commander of Jin Yiwei who came over.

Qin Chi greeted the other party, "Why is the commander here? But he came just in time."

He pointed to the grain bag he had just opened.

The sack is filled with rice bran, and the rice bran is also mixed with finely crushed sand and gravel.

The commander of the Jin Yiwei's face darkened, "I will report this to Your Majesty. I'd like to ask Qin Shangshu to count the numbers."

"Can."

Qin Chi is also unambiguous when doing things.

He checked the accounts as quickly as possible, and then counted the existing grain quantity. After checking that there were no problems, he handed over the amount without leaving it in his hand for a moment.

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

When he was in the mansion, Shopkeeper Tao had been waiting for him.

"Sir, the personnel are ready. Also, He Liankai and Yan Jiangnan have not left Zhang's Manor yet."

"They are quite stable."

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

He would not prevent He Liankai and others from entering the city, but he would prevent them from joining the rebels in Zhangjiawan. It happened that after so long, they just didn't come out.

This was somewhat beyond Qin Chi's expectation.

Qin Chi asked: "Uncle Tao, under what circumstances do you want He Liankai to stay in Zhuangzi and not join the rebels in Zhangjiawan?" The largest force of the rebels is in Zhangjiawan.

As the head coach He Liankai, he should have gone to Zhangjiawan early, but in fact he didn't go and was still staying at Zhang's Manor?

"There is another thing that puzzles me. Zhang's Zhuangzi should have been exposed long ago, and Yan Jiangnan's caution should have been changed long ago, but they just didn't." Qin Chi had questions one after another in his mind.

Shopkeeper Tao pondered: "Could it be that Zhuangzi has another secret?"

"Is there another mystery?"

Qin Chi stood up suddenly.

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

He Liankai and Yan Jiangnan knew that the location was exposed, but they still stayed there, explaining that there was a reason why they had to stay there, "Go and check, we must find out!"

There are their people outside the city.

When the city is closed, people can't get out, but the news can get out.

Chaos in the city broke out faster than others expected.

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

When Qin Chi woke up the next day, he learned that news of a food shortage in the city had spread, and many people who were hiding at home ventured out to buy food at grain stores.

However, grain stores restricted purchases under the auspices of the government.

Even so, food was limited, and some people deliberately instigated it, so more people made trouble on the streets, and vandalism and looting often occurred.

The superiors gave orders to kill those who caused trouble.

The officers and soldiers immediately killed the man without even taking him into prison.

Thousands of people died in one operation, causing panic, but fortunately, the unrest was temporarily suppressed. However, smart people know that this kind of calm is only temporary. The big reason is that people still have more or less food in their homes, but it will not be certain after a period of time.

When people really reach the end of their rope, the government's deterrent will become smaller.

Chaos will be inevitable by then, 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 man was injured and in a coma, and the situation was even more serious due to his old illness. However, the first thing Qin Chi did when he woke up was still thinking about his duties, which moved the Jin Yiwei who came to visit him.

There was really no other way, so Chen Qianhu handed him a request for leave, and then handed him a plea note for Qin Chi. Emperor Mingcheng was suspicious, so he sent an imperial doctor to the Qin Mansion. He learned that Qin Chi was indeed injured and seriously ill. Then Qin Chi was allowed to recuperate at home, and the matters at hand were passed on to others.

Some people suspect that Qin Chi did it on purpose.

He came to the house under the guise of a medical visit, but found no problem, and felt that Qin Chi was just unlucky.

Chaos broke out quickly in the city.

It's only three days.

No one is robbing on the street, crimes are being committed at night, and there are more and more cases of home invasions and robberies. Most of them occurred in Xicheng. Most of the people living in Xicheng were ordinary people. There were many poor people and there were a large number of people. Dragons and snakes were mixed together. And because there are no dignitaries living here, the intensity of government inspections is not strong here.

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

At first, officers and soldiers went to check, but later they delayed reporting the incident, saying they couldn't send the manpower.

Cuihua Hutong, Qin Mansion.

In the study, Qin Chi was sitting in front of the desk, reading the information sent today.

"The situation in this city is not right."

Lao Huo on the side said with a straight face while holding his weapon.

Qin Ba next to him raised his head, "What's wrong?"

"The government doesn't suppress people who commit crimes, and doesn't even send people to investigate. Isn't this condoning crime?" Mr. Huo felt that the court was working passively.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty had previously asked his young master to stabilize the people in the city. Now that his young master was injured and at home, he should arrange for another person to take over the matter. Now not only is there no one to take over, but the chaos in the city is no longer suppressed.
