199 Regression

Although Ah Zhi slept soundly, Red Sleeves decided to wake her up so that she wouldn't miss lunch.

"Where's the husband? Where is he? Ah Zhi, who was woken up, asked sleepily.

"Uncle, he went to the newspaper office early in the morning. He told us to let you sleep well without waking you up. But it's almost noon now, and you have to eat, Miss. ”

"What, it's almost noon?" Ah Zhi couldn't imagine that she had slept for so long.

But remembering the scene last night, she suddenly felt soft and hot.

As the saying goes, a little don't win a newlywed, and it's true.

Last night my brother was really ......

Thinking of this, her heart was ashamed and sweet.

What's more, after waiting so long, her sweetheart is finally back. The strong sense of joy at reunion after a long absence made her whole heart settle.

"Hurry up and help me freshen up, maybe my husband will come back for dinner at noon." Thinking of this, Ah Zhi immediately endured the backache and jumped out of bed.

Seeing that she was still that frizzy look, Red Sleeves couldn't help but laugh.

When it was time to eat at noon, Chi Fei really came back.

As soon as Ah Zhi saw him, she immediately ran over excitedly and took his hand.

If it weren't for Red Sleeves and Red Fragrance beside her, she would have even wanted to hug him hard.

She really missed him so much, and now she didn't want to be separated from him for a moment.

"Have you eaten?" Ji Fei asked with a smile.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for you." Ah Zhi looked at him with shiny eyes.

"Silly girl, come, let's eat together." Chi Fei took her little hand and walked towards the side hall.

While waiting for the food to be served, Chi Fei said, "When you finish eating, I'll help you get vaccinated." It's not just you, it's the whole house.

And my mother-in-law's side too, I will discuss with her at that time, and she will come forward to call the Ning clan in the capital and the people from your grandfather's house to come over in batches to be vaccinated.

Don't be afraid, just cut a small wound, and it will be healed soon. ”

"As long as my brother is here, I'm not afraid of anything." Ah Zhi replied a little unpleasantly, with a constant smile on her face.

Looking at her stupid appearance, Chi Fei couldn't help laughing.

He went to the newspaper office in the morning, but he didn't expect that Ah Zhi managed the newspaper very well, which shows that this girl is still very smart.

The others were very excited to see him come back, and many children cried out with joy, just like Zhang Xiao'e yesterday.

After all, he is the head and pillar of the entire newspaper office. When he returned, everyone's hearts were settled.

Chi Fei took a look at the sales of newspapers in recent months and found that sales not only did not decrease, but also increased by more than 10%.

This increase does not come from the capital itself, but from the Jiangnan side.

Because the market in the capital is basically saturated, and there is only so much literate population, the local sales have not been able to rise.

However, the Jiangnan side is different, not only the territory is wide, but there are also more literate people, and there is still a lot of room for growth.

However, he is too far away from Jiangnan to reach the whip, so whether the literary newspaper can continue to maintain the momentum of growth depends on the business methods of Lin Changsheng, the young owner of Jiangnan Changqingfang.

Now it seems that this Lin Changsheng is still very business-minded.

After lunch, Chi Fei began to inoculate Ah Zhi with cowpox.

After the vaccination, he told Ah Zhi all the precautions and told her to rest well in the past few days.

Then Chi Fei asked the housekeeper's mother, Zhang's mother, to come in and ask her to organize and arrange for all the subordinates to go to the hall in batches for vaccination.

When I heard that my uncle was going to personally inoculate all my subordinates, the "miracle medicine" that was now spreading outside and could prevent people from spreading sores, the whole house was immediately excited.

What a blessing!

Although there are still many people in the outside world who are skeptical about the efficacy of this "miracle medicine", most ordinary people still believe it. After all, the Lord Qincha sent by the emperor has already confirmed that it is true, can this be fake?

Since there are still people in the family who need to work, it is not possible to vaccinate all of them at the same time, so it needs to be carried out in two batches.

After screening, the first batch of people who need to be vaccinated have been selected, so they took turns to enter the hall under the leadership of Zhang's mother to receive Chi Fei's personal vaccination.

After vaccinating them, Chi Fei not only explained the precautions clearly, but also explicitly asked everyone not to tell outsiders about this matter.

The subordinates immediately agreed in unison, not daring to disobey.

There are not many people in the family, only two rooms with a total of more than a dozen people, and they are all born to the Zhenguo Mansion, so there is no problem in terms of loyalty, so Chi Fei is not worried that they will leak out.

After doing all this, Chi Fei immediately rushed to the Zhenguo Mansion in a carriage to discuss with his mother-in-law, the Yao family, how to organize the Ning family and the Yao family to come over for vaccination.

Father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan had already said that except for the Ning family and the Yao family, no one else should be taken care of, so as not to attract other families to come to the door to ask for vaccination.

Just when Chi Fei was busy with how to arrange vaccinate the Ning family and the Yao family, a major event happened in the court.

When Lord Ni was in the court, he publicly impeached Lord Shangshu Min of the Ministry of War for embezzling military salaries and smuggling weapons.

Lord Shangshu Min of the Ministry of War argued on the spot, and reprimanded Lord Ni for making something out of nothing and spraying people with blood.

Not to be outdone, Lord Ni returned with the testimony of some witnesses, and asked the Holy Lord to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The two sides quarreled over this.

As for the embezzlement of military salaries by the Ministry of War, it has been known in all dynasties and dynasties, and it is not uncommon for it to be just a matter of embezzlement.

However, the crime of smuggling weapons is much more serious, and it involves rebellion, so how can we ignore it.

Due to the seriousness of the case, the Holy Lord immediately issued an order, and Lord Shangshu Min of the Military Department was temporarily suspended at home until the case was revealed.

In addition, the Holy Lord issued an order to order the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple to jointly try the case and find out the truth as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, the Beijing News published the incident, and the entire capital was in an uproar.

No one expected that Lord Min, the secretary of the military department, who had just been promoted to a cabinet bachelor, broke such news before he sat on the stool, and he was also suspended from the post of secretary of the military department.

In response to the Beijing News's hype report, Zhenzhi Daily immediately counterattacked, publishing a number of commentary articles written by celebrities, refuting that the matter was clearly made out of nothing and had another purpose.

A war of words ensued between the two newspapers, and almost every day new newspapers appeared, full of all sorts of rebuttal comments and articles, and attacked each other's newspapers for playing tricks.

After Chi Fei learned of this, he seriously suspected that this was a powerful counterattack by the eldest prince against the second prince's faction.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, once this incident is reported, the reputation of Lord Shangshu Min of the Ministry of War has basically been half stinky.

People in this era are accustomed to having a suspicion of guilt rather than a suspicion of innocence, which means that they are accustomed to thinking that most of the people who are suspected of guilt are really wrong.

Especially for a court official like Shangshu of the Ministry of War, if you want to say that he is completely clean, no one really believes him.

Coupled with the fact that Lord Min has just become a member of the cabinet, all his things will be infinitely magnified.

Even if it is found that he did not smuggle weapons, as long as it is found that he has committed other crimes, such as embezzlement of military salaries and the like, this stain is enough to make him have no position and face to stay in his original position.

This is the lethality of civil officials, there is no need to use knives and guns, just a mouth and a pen are enough to kill people invisibly.
