Chapter 184 The Scammer and the Scammed Become Colleagues
Shen Zhiyi saw a scene and paused the surveillance.
[This person, who was swindled out of money and sexually assaulted by the Ministry of War official, looks familiar.]
The Ministry of War official: What do you mean by cheating money and sex? He only uses his looks to cheat money, okay?
[Oh no, he looks so familiar... who is he? I'm sure I've seen him before.]
Shen Zhiyi squinted, engrossed in watching.
Finally, they simply turned to the system for help.
The system provides an answer.
Shen Zhiyi's pupils dilated in shock, followed by a burst of thunderous laughter.
[Holy crap, it was him! Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm holding back.]
Shen Zhiyi puffed out her cheeks and lowered her head, trying to suppress her laughter.
The entire court was puzzled.
Who!
Who is it?!
Shen Zhiyi, hurry up and tell me, don't hold it in.
We feel terrible if you don't tell us.
Who would have thought that person was actually from the Ministry of War...?
Before Shen Zhiyi could finish speaking, she suddenly started coughing violently.
It would be difficult for others to pretend they didn't hear it.
Shen Zhiyi coughed awkwardly a few times and quickly knelt down before the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I caught a cold last night."
[Damn, I choked on my own saliva while laughing.]
The old emperor was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's alright."
He waved, signaling Shen Zhiyi to get up.
At this moment, everyone from the Ministry of War present felt threatened.
Shen Zhiyi was definitely referring to someone from their Ministry of War, but the question was, which one was it?
The Minister of War looked at the Vice Minister of War, who shook his head frantically.
The Vice Minister of War then went to look at the other officials in the Ministry of War, and they all shook their heads.
It's not them, it's not them.
The Ministry of War official in charge of the Bureau of Military Affairs was dumbfounded.
He'd done so many scams disguised as women to swindle money back then, how could he possibly remember all his victims?
[The Ministry of War official and the Ministry of War assistant official must have forgotten each other. If they did, how could they be staring at each other so calmly?]
The Ministry of War official suddenly turned around to look at the Ministry of War assistant behind him.
Several officials looked at each other and began pointing at each other, insisting it was definitely not themselves.
"It's you."
“It’s you. I have a good memory. If I had met the Ministry of War official when I was young, I would never have forgotten him.”
"It definitely wasn't me, I've never had that experience."
The Ministry of War official is in a hurry! Shen Zhiyi, please tell me which official it is!
After the emergency, he felt like he was sick.
It's not a good thing, so why the rush?
You're not in a hurry, but others are.
The old emperor was also very anxious, and one or two people were watching the spectacle with a fondness for making things worse.
They made eye contact.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly glanced excitedly at the Ministry of War official and...
Everyone: This is bad! The Vice Minister of War just made eye contact with all the other Vice Ministers of War, so who is it!
Did the Ministry of War official and the Ministry of War assistant official recognize each other? Hmm, judging from their subsequent reactions, it seems not.
Shen Zhiyi lowered her head regretfully.
Those who didn't get to have any fun were quite upset.
Which official in the Ministry of War was it?
[If that Ministry of War official knew that the purse he lost wasn't stolen by the little beggar, he might regret beating the beggar. He really hit the wrong person; the one who stole his purse was clearly his dear Ministry of War official.]
At this moment, one of the officials from the Ministry of War changed his expression.
The group of people who were intently watching the drama quickly noticed this subtle change in emotion.
Everyone here is shrewd; they understood instantly.
found it.
Unexpectedly, it was Jiang, the Assistant Minister of War.
Jiang, the Assistant Minister of War, originally wanted to control his facial expressions, but when he looked up, he realized that everyone already knew.
He stopped trying to hide it.
After he leaves, he must have a good talk with the Ministry of War official.
The Ministry of War official opened the box of long-forgotten memories.
I still can't remember.
[The Ministry of War official spent the first half of his life deceiving others; it seems the retribution has finally come, only this time it has fallen upon his son.]
The Ministry of War official was completely bewildered.
Where did Shen Zhiyi jump to?
The son of the Ministry of War official inherited his father's love of travel, so after reaching adulthood, he traveled extensively throughout the beautiful landscapes of Daye, sending a letter home every month. This month, the Ministry of War official certainly won't receive it.
After Shen Zhiyi said that, the Ministry of War official gradually realized what was going on.
His son, who loves to go out and play, should have sent a letter home in the last few days to reassure him of his safety, but he hasn't come.
No, that's not important.
The important thing is that what Shen Zhiyi said must be true, so his son was deceived?
He should receive a letter this month demanding ransom.
He needed to hurry back to check how much silver his family had so he could make preparations in advance.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyi was still checking where the son of the Ministry of War official had been tricked into going.
[Heading south, we're almost at the border! Wow, did we get tricked into going to those southern countries for kidney harvesting?]
what!
Cut off a kidney!
The Ministry of War official could no longer sit still; he looked at the old emperor with tears in his eyes.
Your Majesty, please hurry and save his son!
The old emperor stroked his beard, paced back and forth a few times, and then said earnestly to the Ministry of War official in a low voice, "Would your son like to serve as an envoy to the Han Dynasty?"
Ministry of War official: Huh?
Indeed, expanding the territory was the old emperor's unchanging ambition.
"Tomorrow's departure ceremony has been postponed. Chen Decai, has the Imperial Astronomical Bureau sent a new date?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory says that the fifth day of next month is an auspicious day; if we miss it, we'll have to wait until next year."
The old emperor nodded and looked at the Minister of Works.
"Your Ministry of Works has less than a month to replicate this little gadget as soon as possible."
"I will definitely fulfill my mission."
The old emperor sat back on the dragon throne.
"Everyone else can go back. The General and the Ministers of the Six Ministries should stay. Oh, and the Physician from the Ministry of War should also stay. I need you to take a look at the map."
The Minister of War was overjoyed, knowing that the Emperor was willing to save his child.
[Oh, the son of the Ministry of War official is quite clever; he managed to escape. Any later and we would have really been out of Daye.]
The Ministry of War official was overjoyed.
The old emperor was taken aback. He hadn't even had a chance to explain his plans before the man had come back.
Uh, I praised you for nothing. I just complimented you and you got caught again.
Bingbu Langzhong fell heavily to the ground.
The old emperor's hand trembled. Good, he didn't escape.
What a great opportunity to send troops! We can't let it go to waste.
At this moment, the Dragon Scale Guards, who were hiding in the shadows, pretended to have received some information and then presented it to the old emperor.
The old emperor held the memorial, still fragrant with ink, and said in a deep voice.
"A governor from Lingnan sent word that he had seen the son of a military official near the border of those small southern kingdoms, so he immediately sent the message."
This statement was full of flaws, but Shen Zhiyi was completely unaware of them because she was still enjoying the life-or-death escape of the son of the Ministry of War official.
Good grief, that guy escaped again.
The old emperor's eyebrows twitched; it was all sorts of things.
