Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1360

"Ugh, how am I going to get through these next few days! Staying here all alone is so boring!"

As he spoke, Wei Wu waved his hand and took out several items from the system space, placing them on the table.

A copper pot, an alcohol stove, several bags of spicy beef tallow broth, and a table full of various hot pot ingredients.

He lit the fire, set up the pot, poured in water, added hot pot base and various dishes, and then Wei Wu took out a few bottles of carbonated drinks.

But that wasn't all. After the hot pot was ready, he took out a recliner and a Nintendo.

Then, he lit a cigarette, leaned back in his recliner, with potato chips and snacks on his left and carbonated drinks on his right, and started playing Zelda!

Meanwhile, as Wei Wu was enduring his "hardship" in prison, undercurrents were surging outside.

Today's court discussion on the money shop case, although it ultimately sent Wei Wu to prison, the Ministry of Works is also in a difficult situation.

After all, it was a department involved in the case, so it was somewhat put on the spot, especially for Qian Jinguang, the Vice Minister of Works.

After the court session ended, Qian Jinguang returned to his office to work, where the officials under the Ministry of Works all looked worried.

However, it wasn't just these lower-level officials who were worried; the one who was truly most worried was actually him, the Vice Minister of Works.

The reason is simple: everyone else was only associated with the money lending case, but he was an actual participant.

So much so that when he was working in the government office, he was somewhat absent-minded, and his mind was completely blank.

But just as he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!

"Who is it?"

Once he came to his senses, Qian Jingguang immediately asked what was going on, and then a voice from outside the door made him uneasy.

"It's me, Michael Chi-t!"

To be honest, Qian Jinguang was actually conflicted; he wanted to hear Mai Zhide's voice, but he also didn't want to hear his.

The reason he wanted to listen was that he was feeling very anxious and needed to talk to someone to relieve his restless and anxious emotions.

The reason he didn't want to hear Mak Chi-tak's voice was simple: his anxiety was caused by Mak Chi-tak.

No, that's not right. It can't be said that it was caused by Michael; rather, it should be said that Michael was the trigger for his anxiety.

Without Mai Zhide, he would at most be angry, silently resent Wei Wu, and look for an opportunity to take revenge.

But it was on that day, because I followed Mak Chi-tak, that I ended up in this state of constant anxiety and unease.

Indeed, the reason for Qian Jinguang's anxiety is the case of money shops and banknotes that was discussed in the Fengxian Hall today.

This morning at court, when Wei Wu and Zhan Hui were confronting each other in the Fengxian Hall, they said something to each other.

'Why is it certain that the ink originated from me, and not necessarily from the Ministry of Works?'

After these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the Fengxian Hall at the time scoffed at them.

why?

The reason is simple: if the Ministry of Works has a problem, it means that both of its vice ministers have betrayed the court and His Majesty.

This was impossible in the minds of the officials, but the reality is often different from what most people think.

It was indeed a problem stemming from the Ministry of Works. Two vice ministers of the Ministry of Works, Mai Zhide and Qian Jinguang, colluded and were both involved in the money shop case.

This is why Qian Jingguang was so fearful, because if things were to come to light, he would at least face the execution of his entire family.

Although Wei Wu is now taking the blame and has been imprisoned as a result, the court has not given up the investigation.

Qian Jinguang's biggest worry right now is that the imperial court will investigate him, so he kept his mouth shut during the morning court session today.

Even though he desperately wanted Wei Wu to take the blame for everything, he didn't dare to step forward and join Zhan Hui in attacking Wei Wu.
