The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 296 Credit

Li Laile was extremely busy with the tasks at hand, while Zhang Wenlai was busy arranging the final follow-up work of accommodation and food for the people in the north of the city.

In the entire City Lord's Mansion, Marquis Yongning seemed the most leisurely. He stayed in his own yard the whole time, and no one knew what he was doing. He did not allow the guards around Zhang Wenlai to come in, except for the guards he brought with him.

Qi Anyi listened to the secret agent he had hidden in the City Lord's Mansion reporting about the things inside the City Lord's Mansion and what the secret agent was saying about Marquis Yongning. After the secret agent finished speaking, Qi Anyi waved his hand to let the secret agent leave and rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion to continue staring at Marquis Yongning.

After he could no longer see the figure, Qi Anyi lowered his eyes to hide the deep thought in his eyes. He recalled the news about Yongning Hou, but gave up after a short while. After all, when he was still a prince in the capital, he always looked down on others, not to mention the ministers who had no sense of existence in the court, and he would not send anyone to take care of them. So he really didn't spend much time to understand Yongning Hou.

If you search now, you will definitely only find a few lines of information.

Qi Anyi knew that this was a waste of time, so he simply did not investigate further.

Therefore, he did not take Yongning Hou, who was doing nothing in the City Lord's Mansion, seriously.

When the day came that he took it to heart, that is, three days later, Qi Anyi was staying well in his own house, enjoying the support from the people of Nanyu City while playing and looking down on these people in his heart, holding in his hand the gold, silver and jewelry he had recently obtained from the people of Nanyu City.

Although they had been disinfected, Qi Anyi still placed these things in a small warehouse in the courtyard.

As soon as he came out of the small warehouse, he was stopped by a servant who rushed towards him. Qi Anyi frowned, looked at the servant kneeling on the ground with a bit of impatience in his eyes, and said: "If the matter you want to report now is not very important, you don't have to save your life. I don't want to keep impatient servants around me."

The servant was frightened by Qi Anyi's words and trembled all over, but he still knelt on the ground honestly, knocking his forehead on the ground repeatedly, and quickly told the purpose of his coming here. He only heard this person say: "Report to the prince, there are many people outside the gate of the mansion, and they are surrounding our guards who are guarding the gate of the mansion. They are asking us to give them an explanation and justice..."

"What do you mean? What's the explanation?" After hearing the last few sentences, Qi Anyi interrupted the servant and asked.

"They say there's something wrong with the medicine. Now, many of the people who drank it have died after five days..." As the servant said this, he looked at his master whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy, his face full of fear, and in the end he even knelt on the ground.

Qi Anyi didn't look at it, but strode past the servant, left the warehouse, walked to the gate of the mansion and looked.

Seeing that people were all around him, Qi Anyi's eyebrows jumped. He felt that today's scene was very familiar. It was very similar to the last time when he was outside the City Lord's Mansion, watching Zhang Wenlai and others being troubled by these sick people while he was watching the excitement on the side.

Now it seems that the conditions of these people have become more serious.

He looked around but did not see Zhang Wenlai or anyone from the City Lord's Mansion.

Qi Anyi lowered his eyes and looked at the common people. What they said was exactly the same as what he heard last time in the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Qi Anyi inexplicably thought of the saying of tit-for-tat. However, no one would help him to attract the attention of these people. Now he had to appease these angry and uneasy people in Nanyu City.

The first thing he asked was why, which confirmed that there was something wrong with his medicine.

As soon as this question was asked, many people scolded him. Qi Anyi suppressed his inner anger and the urge to kill these people, and looked calm.

As far as he knew, it would take nearly a month for the medicine to take effect, but now it hadn't even been half a month, which made Qi Anyi think more.

Some people answered Qi Anyi's question and said that the dead people did not eat anything except white porridge in the few days after drinking the medicine. They had seen that there was nothing wrong with the white porridge, so the problem was naturally attributed to Qi Anyi's medicine.

Qi Anyi was so angry that he laughed, but he didn't curse directly. Instead, he nodded calmly and continued to ask them other questions about the medicine. Finally, he asked them whether the people from the City Lord's Mansion had looked for them.

Even though the people present were puzzled, they still answered honestly that there was no answer.

There were just some smart-aleck people among these people. After Qi Anyi asked this question, they began to focus their attention on Zhang Wenlai.

If you think about it carefully, there has been no movement in the City Lord's Mansion in the past few days, as if they have been forgotten, or they are not taken to heart and left to fend for themselves.

Seeing that many of these people were fence-sitters and focused their attention on the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Anyi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a bit of gentleness and tolerance in his eyes, he took a lot of verbal effort and finally tricked these people into leaving temporarily.

After your group of people left, Qi Anyi's originally gentle expression immediately changed, and he couldn't hide his hostility.

He ordered his men to close the gate of the house and then headed straight towards his bedroom.

A secret guard came out from the dark and asked his master if there was anything he wanted to tell him.

Qi Anyi flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, looked at the secret guard half-kneeling on the ground, and ordered: "Let Zhang Kai come here quickly. I want to know what those guys in the City Lord's Mansion are doing now."

"Yes," the secret guard replied.

It took two hours for the secret guard to bring Zhang Kai over.

Before Zhang Kai came, he asked the secret guards what questions Qi Anyi wanted to ask him, so he thought of a lot of wording on the way.

Now facing Qi Anyi, Zhang Kai's expression did not change at all. He just told Qi Anyi everything he knew.

But Qi Anyi did not get the information he wanted from these nonsense, so he was a little annoyed. He raised his foot and kicked Zhang Kai who was kneeling on the ground. Then he asked Zhang Kai for the second time with great reluctance, "Is there really no other news?"

Zhang Kai was indeed telling the truth, so Qi Anyi, who was now feeling anxious, felt confused.

Recently, Zhang Wenlai has either been walking back and forth between the north, east and west of the city, or working in Zhang Wenlai's yard. The fact that Qi Anyi knows so much about the City Lord's Mansion is all thanks to Zhang Kai alone.
