Chapter 356 Cultivating one’s moral character


    What was said at the banquet quickly reached Ning Guogong.


    Ning Guogong was drinking with Helian Mian at this time, and he was a little drunk.


    Helian Mian poured wine for Ning Guogong, "Qin Qi''an said that we should cultivate our moral character. How much do you believe this?"


    "Your Highness, how many promising officials are there who trade concubines back and forth all day long? You can judge for yourself." Ning Guogong almost didn''t say that those people''s moral character was flawed, and indirectly praised Qin Chi.


    He Lianmian listened to the words, compared them carefully in his mind, and immediately stopped asking, "I originally wanted my mother to reward Qin Qi''an with a few beautiful maids, but it seems that I have to forget it now."


    Ning Guogong''s mouth twitched.


    Suddenly, there was some noise outside.


    Ning Guogong got up and called people to ask what happened.


    A servant came and reported hesitantly: "The Duke of Guo is the fifth young lady of the second room. He said that Mr. Qin bullied her and was about to seek death. He wants Mr. Qin to give him justice."


    "Nonsense!" Ning Guogong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.


    He still doesn’t know who Qin Qi’an is?


    It was impossible to bully his granddaughter on this occasion. It was probably the careless people in the back house who were planning something.


    Ning Guogong looked back at Helian Mian, who was sitting not far away. He did not want to hear such things from Helian Mian, so as not to taint His Highness''s ears. In fact, he was afraid of losing the face of the Duke''s palace.


    "Lock up the fifth young lady. After the wedding banquet is over, send her to Zhuangzi outside the city to wake up. No one in the house is allowed to help her. Let her come back when she has figured it out." Ning Guogong ordered. The people immediately did it.


    Miss Ning Wu was the girl who almost bumped into Qin Chi but was kicked away by Qin Ba.


    She originally wanted to give up, but her biological mother didn''t want to.


    Anyway, the person was injured, so he was vague and asked the family to find Qin Chi and threaten to seek justice for the Fifth Miss. What''s more, there is nothing wrong with the bullying in their words, it''s just that this bullying, in their vague words, makes people think of things between men and women.


    Wait for the back house.


    Miss Ning Wu and her aunt were locked up.


    "He really died before he left the army, haha."


    The second wife of the Duke''s Mansion raised her lips mockingly.


    The girls from all the houses watching the show were extremely disdainful. Fortunately, no trouble occurred, and fortunately their grandfather was not an old fool. Otherwise, the reputation of the girls in the Duke''s Palace would be lost.


    Qin Chi didn''t know that there was a peach blossom incident, and he was forcibly suppressed as soon as he got up. He is now riding back home in a carriage.


    As soon as he returned, Qin Chi received news that there was movement in Jianning and Fuzhou, and that grain dealers were hoarding grain. After investigation, it was the Liu family who was behind it.


    Qin Chi remembered that Ling Dinghou was preparing food and salary, "Uncle Hong, do you want my position as Shaoqing to be moved up? There is a war in the northwest, and I want to get to a high position as soon as possible to help my grandfather and the others."


    "Young Master, you want to be transferred back to the Sixth Department?"


    Old Man Hong thought of Qin Chi''s intention.


    Qin Chi did not deny it, "There were two suspicious cases before. The former young minister of Dali Temple was accused of murder in Jianghu."


    "Are you referring to the cases in Jinhai Hutong and Zuixian Tower?" Old Man Hong suddenly guessed what Qin Chi wanted to do, "Are you trying to find out what happened to the former Crown Prince and Yan Jiangnan?"


    "It doesn''t have to be evidence."


    Qin Chi now wants to take advantage of the former prince''s career to get promoted.


    So the next day, Qin Chi went to the Dali Temple Yamen in advance to investigate the files and files, and then invited Chen Qianhu from Jinyiwei for a drink. This Chen Qianhu was the Jin Yiwei who led the team to protect Qin Chi when Qin Chi went to Taihu to provide disaster relief.


    "How come Mr. Qin has time to invite me to drink?"


    Chen Qianhu was surprised to receive Qin Chi''s invitation.


    You must know that Qin Chi has not contacted them since the last time they went to disaster relief together. Jin Yiwei is a presence that court officials avoid, especially some officials who look at them as if they are looking at dirty things. Qin Chi could be said to be the new rich man in the court, and he suddenly came to invite him to drink. He was still very curious about what the other party wanted to do with him.


    Qin Chi took a piece of roast duck with his chopsticks and put it into a bowl. "Do you want an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune?"


    Chen Qianhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Come and listen."


    This means no rejection.


    Qin Chi said sternly: "It''s an old case in Jinhai Hutong and Zuixian Tower. The case that Yang Lingyu handled earlier. After reviewing it, I noticed some suspicious things. Someone seemed to be trying to hide something, and the case was hastily settled in the world. "Vendetta."


    "This is what happened..."


    Chen Qianhu didn''t know whether he should mention it to Qin Chi, but finally said, "Yang Lingyu is dead. Why should Mr. Qin ask for trouble? The case is over."


    Qin Chi was surprised to hear what he said.


    Naturally, this meaning was not explicit. Chen Qianhu''s hidden meaning was to make Qin Chi not want to deal with this case.


    Qin Chi dipped his fingers into the tea and wrote a few words on the table: Is Jin Yiwei still investigating?


    Chen Qianhu struggled for a while, but decided to sell Qin Chi, and nodded, "There is no big progress in the investigation."


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


    Qin Chi smiled, just as he wanted.


    He wiped the traces very clean without leaving any traces alive. Jin Yiwei also needed clues if he wanted to investigate. He had long been wary of Jin Yiwei''s methods, so he concentrated on having others study it, so that he would not leave any traces.


    There were more traces left on the former prince''s side, at least some of the bodies were buried. Recently, the northwestern Tatar army was approaching, and the people behind it wanted to cause trouble for him, and also targeted his wife. Qin Chi knew that he couldn''t justify not doing something.


    So, Qin Chi discussed with Chen Qianhu in a low voice.


    There is no reason not to do things that are mutually beneficial.


    The two hit it off immediately.


    The two of them did not take any action after that, and the quiet time ended at the end of the annual vacation. Officials from the DPRK went to the Yamen one after another to go on duty.


    Qin Chi put on his official uniform and went to the Yamen.


    He first went to the Hanlin Academy.


    After going through a cutscene, we went to Dali Temple again.


    I met Dong Xingde when I went over.


    Dong Xingde was also the chief minister of Dali Temple.


    Dali Temple is responsible for reviewing criminal cases.


    The largest official is the Minister of Dali Temple, and there is only one. The following positions are Shaoqing, Si Cheng, Si Zheng, Si Deputy and Judge.


    Si Cheng is divided into Zuosi Cheng and You Si Cheng.


    It is said to the outside world that Qin Chi resembles Luo Si Cheng of Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty, and belongs to Zuo Si Cheng. Dong Xingde is the Prime Minister of Yousi. In addition, Lu Baizhou was transferred to Dali Temple as the temple chief and is working under Qin Chi.


    Lu Yanji went to the Ministry of Rites.


    Qin Chi greeted his colleagues respectively and then went to the archives room to read the files.


    After that, take people out.


    He first went to Jinhai Hutong, the house of the wealthy businessman. After that incident, the government sealed the house. No matter how good the house was, no one lived in it and no one took care of it. After a long time, it would become a little bit... The child is wasted.


    Many people died in this house back then.


    Everyone in the surrounding area knows about it, so the house cannot be sold even if it wants to be sold.
