Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Zhou Chang also reminded him, "Take the person from the west corridor to this small study carefully, and don't make any noise, understand?"

"Yes, I know what to do." The servant went away quickly.

Zhou Chang turned around and went back to Yuan Qi's study. Yuan Qi hadn't returned to the inner courtyard yet, so he whispered, "Miss, Mr. Chen is here."

"Mr. Chen?" Yuan Qi couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Zhou Chang pointed out: "Mr. Chen Xichen, a clerk in the Ministry of Justice."

Yuan Qi's originally calm face suddenly changed color: "That clerk? He came at this time, but my father..."

"Don't panic, Miss. We'll talk after the person arrives." Zhou Chang comforted.

"Uncle He is right. Please invite the people here." Yuan Qi calmed himself and sat behind the desk.

Mr. Chen Xichen was an old clerk in the Ministry of Justice. He had no real power and was only in charge of paperwork.

He Xi has been running Jindu for many years and has some friendship with Chen Xi.

When the Yuan family got into trouble this time, they needed to use their connections to rescue the people. None of the people related to the Ministry of Revenue could be used, so they had to use his connections in the Ministry of Justice, including getting in touch with the chief of the Ministry of Justice, Lu Douliang, and asking him to help pay a visit to the Minister of Justice.

The first thing was naturally done smoothly. Through Lu Douliang, the boatman, escort, kabuki and the two managers of Yaoyuefang who were originally innocently involved were rescued.

However, the latter matter could not be accomplished. The Minister of Justice acted ruthlessly and impartially, and did not make any concessions to anyone in this case.

Even so, He Xi once asked Chen Xi to keep an eye on it and inform them as soon as possible if there was any development in the boss's case.

All of those who have worked in the government office for many years are experienced. Even if they agree, they will not show it easily, let alone come in person.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared at the back door at dusk. It was not a good sign.

After a while, Chen Xi was led in.

Zhou Chang personally went to the gate of the east courtyard to greet him and led him into the study.

The maid had already prepared tea and snacks, and lowered the pearl curtain in front of the desk.

Yuan Qi bowed to Chen Xi as a junior through the pearl curtain.

Chen Xi was nearly sixty years old, with most of his hair and beard white. He had triangular eyes and a goatee. He was wearing a blue official uniform that he had not yet changed out of, and he was wearing a black cloak to cover it.

As soon as I saw him, I knew he came in a hurry.

Zhou Chang asked Chen Xi to sit in the upper seat, poured tea and served snacks, and then sat down with him at the bottom. He asked, "Brother Chen, you came here at this time and calculated with your fingers. What's going on with our boss?"

Chen Xi had a gloomy expression since he came in. He sat down and didn't say anything polite. He shook his head slowly before he spoke: "This afternoon, the Minister of Justice Pei has instructed me to organize the files and the verdict and present them to the emperor."

"What judgment?" Zhou Chang asked.

Yuan Qi, who had been standing behind the pearl curtain and had not sat down, visibly tensed up.

"Alas..." Chen Xisi seemed to have been struggling all the way, but he had arrived just to tell the news, so he didn't delay any longer. "Lord Pei has sentenced Minister of Revenue Minhang to treason and collusion with the enemy. The evidence is solid and he is guilty of the ten unforgivable crimes. His entire family shall be executed. The rest of the people involved in the case shall all be severely punished and sentenced to death, including Mr. Yuan."

"Bang."

As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking.

Behind the pearl curtain, Yuan Qi fell straight down.

"Miss……"

"Miss……"

The maid who had been guarding behind the screen at the side door rushed out to help.

Zhou Chang was startled and rushed into the beaded curtain in two steps: "Young Master, Young Master..."

Yuan Qi closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, without a trace of blood.

"Hurry, someone come, someone come." Zhou Chang shouted and pinched Yuanqi's Renzhong point.

When the maids doing the rough work in the backyard heard it, three or four of them rushed in at once.

"Hurry, the young master has fainted. Carry him back to the room first, and then ask someone to call the best doctor to treat him." Zhou Chang half-carried and half-hugged Yuan Qi to get up from the ground.

"Yes, yes." Two strong maids quickly took the person over.

"Continue pinching the Ren Zhong acupoint. See if there is any ginseng slice or something for emergency use? Let the young master put one in his mouth first." Zhou Chang wanted to follow in, but then he remembered that Chen Xi was still behind him.

"Yes, yes." The other two maids hurriedly agreed, and one of them shouted inside, "Go find Madam Duan."

Nanny Duan is the head nanny of the backyard. She is very capable and works together with He Xi to manage the Yuan family inside and out.

Zhou Chang added, "Invite them all, invite the best ones."

There is no need to worry about hiring a doctor, as the Yuan family owns several clinics and pharmacies in Jindu.

"Yes." He replied a few steps away.

A group of people disappeared from the study in a short while and rushed to the inner courtyard.

After everyone had left, Zhou Chang came out from behind the pearl curtain again.

He suppressed his inner anxiety and clasped his fists to apologize to Chen Xi who was still standing outside: "Brother Chen, please forgive me. Our young master family has suffered such a sudden blow. In addition, we have been anxious day and night these days. No one can stand it."

Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Of course, of course. Not to mention that she is a young unmarried woman, even a man who has seen the world and is filial would find it difficult to bear such news. Don't blame me, brother He. I was also worried and spoke out without thinking, which shocked Miss Yuan."

"No, no, this is just counting with fingers, ahem..." Zhou Chang was annoyed by He Xi's catchphrase, but he couldn't stop, and then he quickly made a "please sit down" gesture, "Brother Chen, please sit down, I have a few words to ask you."

"Ah..." Chen Xi followed his instructions and sat back in his chair. Without waiting for Zhou Chang to ask, he took the initiative to say, "I know what you want to ask. That's why I chose to come here after dark."

Zhou Chang clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Brother Chen, can you please give me some advice on whether this case can be turned around?"

Chen Xi must have thought about it on the way here. He shook his head slowly and said, "Brother, what I just said is the memorial submitted by Lord Pei today. As subordinates, we have no right to ask how Lord Pei judges. Similarly, when the case is submitted to the emperor, it is not up to Lord Pei to decide how His Majesty will respond. No one in Jindu City knows about it yet, so I came to tell you so that you can have an idea in advance."

"How could such a serious case be judged so hastily?" Zhou Chang understood that this meant there was no hope.

Chen Xi paused and continued, "Brother He, you also know that this is about the Mirage Kingdom. We have been fighting against the Mirage Kingdom for more than two years and there is still no result. The reason why the three courts tried this case and sentenced it so quickly and urgently is because of His Majesty's instruction to punish severely and strictly. Otherwise, so many people would not be involved. Half of the people in the Ministry of Revenue alone were implicated."

"Are you saying there is no hope at all?" Zhou Chang's head was buzzing.

This matter was a personal experience from the very beginning.

But at the beginning, she didn't care, always thinking it had nothing to do with her, and was only busy changing her identity.

But after all the changes, it still revolves around the people of the Yuan family and this matter.

Without mentioning others, she was implicated in the case when she became Xiqiao and Manager Li, and was saved by Yuan Qi both times.

Zhou Chang understood Xiqiao and Li Zhangshi's inner thoughts, sympathized with their innocence, and admired Yuan Qi for supporting the situation independently with his own strength, and for not forgetting these almost unrelated servants even when faced with such a disaster.

She didn't know when she had already been thinking about the Yuan family's affairs in her heart. She hoped that the Yuan family could survive this disaster safely and that Yuan Qi could get what he wanted.

But what about now? "Don't worry about things that can't be solved today, because they can't be solved tomorrow either."
