Chapter 294

And Qi Tai also could not help but rise and look at his wife in the distance, scolding her.

"How is it that you have become even more blind to the situation?!"

"Lord Huang has brought wine, yet you do not even know to serve dishes to go with it?"

Only what exceeded Qi Tai's expectations was this.

The Lady Qi outside the door watched as Qi Tai threw the things in his hands away.

She angrily rebuked,

"Do it yourself! Look at what our home is like, and you still think about drinking!"

Seeing Lady Qi's reaction, a trace of confusion inevitably appeared on Qi Tai's face.

"No, I just told you to give the order; how is it that even passing on a message is done like this?"

Huang Zicheng hurriedly waved his hands and said,

"Sigh, Lord Qi, forget it; do not argue with your sister-in-law."

Qi Tai slapped the table and then rose, saying,

"Nonsense! A woman must be managed. If she is too lazy to pass on a message today, how can she be filial to her parents tomorrow?!"

Having spoken, Qi Tai immediately shouted at Lady Qi in the distance,

"Are you deaf?"

"I am telling you to give the order now; just say whether you are going or not?!"

Only Lady Qi looked at Qi Tai and angrily cursed,

"Give the order? Look, do we even have servants left in our house?"

"You sold the mansion, and the family fortune sent by the old master has all been squandered by you; how is this life to be lived?!"

Hearing this, Qi Tai could not help but be stunned.

"Servants? Where have all the servants gone?"

Lady Qi pouted and gritted her teeth, saying,

"Where else? They all ran away. I do not know what is wrong today; they are all very stubborn, neither to be spoken of nor scolded. As soon as one left, they all left together."

"The servants give me trouble, and you are still being a bully in your own nest?"

Hearing this, Qi Tai was immediately stunned.

He asked in disbelief,

"Ran... ran away?"

Just at this moment,

a person walked into the tent.

"Is this the residence of Lord Qi?"

Qi Tai immediately looked at that person with confusion.

"Yes, you are...?"

That person immediately smiled and said,

"I am a clerk of the Precious Note Bureau, sent by Lord Su specifically to inform all the lords."

"Previously, due to matters of the Precious Note Bureau, our lending business was suspended for one month."

"According to the contract, all our repayment deadlines are automatically extended by one month; this month requires no repayment and no interest payment."

As soon as the words fell,

everyone in the entire tent inevitably fell into silence.

The wine bowl held by Huang Zicheng also stopped in mid-air.

Qi Tai looked at the newcomer in disbelief and asked,

"What did you say?" Having spoken, Qi Tai himself stepped forward, grabbed the newcomer's collar, and roared hoarsely: "I am asking you what you said, answer me!"

That clerk looked at Qi Tai, at a loss.

He answered stutteringly,

"J-just... you do not need to rush... repaying next month will be fine."

Qi Tai gritted his teeth and roared,

"I am asking you, whose orders are you following!"

"L-Lord Su... Lord Su!"

"Audacious! Su Qiao is currently in the Imperial Prison; whose orders are you following?"

Hearing this, that clerk immediately smiled and said,

"My lord, you are unaware; His Majesty has already released Lord Su."

"Now, all the matters our Bureau suspended previously have been restored."

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

Qi Tai threw that clerk aside.

He immediately rose and said,

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Lord Huang, where is the Ministry of Personnel's tent?"

The corner of Huang Zicheng's mouth trembled.

He then said,

"I-it is to the west."

Having spoken, Qi Tai strode out of the tent and walked towards the distance.

Huang Zicheng dared not delay even a moment and immediately followed.

Until they walked into the Libuya Sect.

After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's vermilion edict.

Qi Tai's tears immediately began to flow.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is confused, Your Majesty!"

Qi Tai threw the official letter in his hand aside.

"My lords, Your Majesty has been deceived by treacherous flatterers!"

"How could Your Majesty commit such a confused act!"

Several senior officials of the Libuya Sect saw Qi Tai's appearance.

Immediately, they rushed forward in shock and grabbed Qi Tai, saying,

"Minister Qi, speak cautiously!"

Qi Tai could not care less about many things.

Immediately, he wailed,

"Speak cautiously! What is there left to be cautious about!"

"Great Ming is finished! My Qi family is finished!"

Qi Tai's wailing echoed throughout the entire camp.

Huang Zicheng caught up at that moment, looking at Qi Tai slumped on the ground.

Immediately, he realized what had happened.

In an instant, even his lips turned deathly pale.

Trembling, he looked at the senior officials of the Libuya Sect before him and asked,

"What did Minister Qi see?"

"Alas, nothing, just that Your Majesty has pardoned Minister Su again."

"We are used to it; this is not the first time."

Hearing the words of the Libuya Sect.

It was as if it delivered the final blow to Huang Zicheng.

"O vast heavens, how thin you are toward me!"

If the money is gone, so be it.

Now even the mansion is gone!

Thinking of this, Huang Zicheng felt only a sweetness in his throat.

With a "Pfft~!", a mouthful of old blood was spat out.
