Chapter 195 Two More People in the House
The officers and soldiers were utterly shocked by what they saw.
The woman actually knew the Minister of Personnel.
What was with his attitude just now?
It's over.
The officers and soldiers stepped forward and saluted the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.
"Minister, it was my rudeness."
"It doesn't matter."
After speaking, the newly appointed Minister of Personnel strode towards the third floor to see the old emperor.
Shen Zhiyi quickly put on her veil and began to minimize her presence.
Looking at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel going upstairs.
The old emperor subconsciously looked behind the other person.
"Where's Shen Zhiyi? Why did you come up alone?"
"I'm wearing pretty clothes, but I'm embarrassed to be seen by too many people."
The old emperor was amused for a while.
“It’s a shame for a young lady to be stuck with an old man like me. Fine, I’ll just pretend I don’t know she’s here.”
[I'm on vacation right now, and this stingy bastard actually wants me to see the old emperor! How terrifying!]
Everyone:...
One or two dared not look at the old emperor's expression.
[They should be able to go back after the questioning or the evidence check, right? It's so simple, just check the kitchen, there's a whole bunch of stuff there.]
However, the cook's body isn't here. It was buried in the residence of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, used as fertilizer for those contraband items. Alas, the poor girl.
After discovering what Da Bao Lou was doing, she advised the manager that this stuff was unacceptable. If Da Bao Lou insisted on doing it, she would report it to the authorities. In the end, she died and was even used as fertilizer.
Shen Zhiyi felt a pang of regret, and the officers and soldiers had finished collecting the evidence.
Regular customers in the restaurant can now leave.
At this moment, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was also taken away from the private room on the third floor.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.
"I will not let you go."
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel laughed.
After everyone was taken away, the old emperor, seeing that there were no outsiders left, asked directly, "Why did you suddenly decide to deal with him?"
The old emperor originally thought Shen Zhiyi would settle here, but the girl only thought about leaving.
It's alright, it's not a big problem. He can ask the Minister of Personnel directly.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel, whose face was usually expressionless, showed resentment this time.
"Last time the Crown Prince invited me to Dabao Restaurant for dinner, I could tell just by smelling it that all the meat on the table was dead meat."
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel, who held meat dishes in high regard, could not tolerate such a thing. So he sent someone to conduct a simple investigation, and to his surprise, the investigation uncovered quite a few good things.
"Ha ha ha ha."
The old emperor couldn't help but chuckle.
"I never expected Yan Chen would do this for such a reason."
"That makes sense. The food we eat must be clean and hygienic. Even if there are no contraband items, this 'Big Eater' restaurant would still be investigated and punished."
The old emperor stood up and rubbed his aching back.
"You and the Minister of Revenue should settle accounts for the assets of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and remember to have someone fill the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible."
"I accept the decree."
The old emperor was in a great mood; making money was quickest from confiscating property.
His grandson now has the money to get married.
Speaking of silver, the old emperor started mentioning Shen Zhiyi's map that marked the gold mine.
The map we have now, which has been improved by the Ministry of War official, is much more standardized than the one those curly-haired guys brought out, but there are still many blank areas.
Beyond the ocean lies an unknown territory.

After returning home, Shen Zhiyi lost her appetite, which terrified Aunt Cheng.
“How can you not eat? You’re running around outside all day, you need to eat something to be healthy.”
Shen Zhiyi exaggeratedly described what happened at Dabao Restaurant that day to Aunt Cheng, and finally said with a pale face, "Aunt Cheng, I really can't eat like this."
"Oh, it's all dead flesh."
"Yes, it's all dead meat. Because they added prohibited substances, you can't taste the difference, and it even tastes incredibly delicious and addictive. It's unbelievable."
Shen Zhiyi lay motionless in the chair, waving her hand and saying, "Anyway, I don't want to eat today."
Seeing this, Aunt Cheng stopped urging Shen Zhiyi to eat.
Instead, after finishing cleaning, he came over and spoke hesitantly.
"Shen Lang."
"what?"
"Aunt Cheng wants to ask you for a favor."
Upon seeing that Aunt Cheng had something to ask of her, Shen Zhiyi immediately straightened up and said, "Aunt Cheng, please speak."
“In my hometown, an engaged couple came to stay with me. They used to work for a security escort agency and were very skilled. I see that other officials have bodyguards and such in their courtyards, but you have nothing here.”
But I don't really need it. My yard is too small; it's fine for two people, but four people wouldn't be a problem.
Aunt Cheng continued, "Shen Lang, they don't need wages, just food and lodging are enough, they're very easy to take care of."
Shen Zhiyi thought for a moment and politely declined, saying, "Aunt Cheng, I really don't need it here, but I'll keep an eye out for you."
"Would you like to meet the person first? It's okay if they're not a good match, but if they are, that would be perfect too."
Not wanting to offend Aunt Cheng, Shen Zhiyi agreed to meet her.
It's not like I'll lose a piece of meat anyway.
Upon seeing the two people, Shen Zhiyi looked at the man and woman in front of her and walked around them once.
These two look somewhat familiar.
[But I'm pretty sure I've never seen these two faces before, so where does this feeling of familiarity come from?]
The two people standing there dared not move.
[System, don't you have some kind of identity verification function? Let me see it.]
[Host, please wait.]
—In the process of rapid identity verification.
Aunt Cheng and the two people opposite her exchanged a glance, stunned.
Wait a minute, Shen Zhiyi's magical system actually has this kind of function?
[Host, the results are in.]
The next second, the man and woman opposite them had their names displayed above their heads.
Hidden Seven, Hidden Nine.
Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?
Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?
[Host, please do not question the system's powerful capabilities.]
"If you're so awesome, what about my milk tea, snail rice noodles, and Bao Shifu milk tea?"
The system is silent.
Shen Zhiyi exchanged a glance with the two people opposite her, and then silently extended her hand.
He touched and touched Anqi's face, and wow, he actually touched it.
Why are these two here?
"You guys, don't you have anything to say?"
The two of them stood there like wooden stakes, not saying a word.
"Two officers from the Dragon Scale Guard?"
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
As they spoke, the two knelt down on one knee at the same time.
This action completely baffled Shen Zhiyi.
"You two, get up. Seriously, what are you doing here?"
An Jiu glanced at An Qi.
An Qi could only reply, "I cannot disobey the emperor's command."
"His Majesty's decree? Why?"
Shen Zhiyi flipped through the surveillance footage but didn't find anything, except for the scene of An Qi and An Jiu going to see the old emperor.
