Chapter 141 The Minister of Rites, Jin, and the General of the Central Army have both disappeared.
The Minister of Rites did not reply to Shen Zhiyi quickly.
Instead, his mind was filled with thoughts of "sandwiches".
What does this mean?
He looked at the city gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was completely bewildered.
You ask him, who should he ask? What sandwich cookie? I don't understand.
The Minister of Rites regretted that he must have missed some gossip. He recalled that the Duke of Shun and the Minister of War had been beating their sons earlier, and there must be a connection.
If he knew the whole story, he could deduce the meaning of "sandwich cookie" from the context.
"Minister of Rites?"
"Minister?"
Shen Zhiyi called out again and again, finally raising her voice in desperation: "Minister!!"
"Ah ah ah."
The Minister of Rites snapped out of his reverie.
"Oh right, I'm looking for someone. I'm here to find someone."
The Minister of Rites finally started to remember the important matter at hand.
"Shen Lang, my daughter is missing."
"If your daughter goes missing, should you contact the Ministry of Justice? The Court of Judicial Review? Or some county government office in your jurisdiction?"
"Anyway, it's strange that they're coming to me. It's odd that all these high-ranking officials have disappeared from their homes and are coming to me. Don't you all have so many servants in your mansions?"
The Minister of Rites looked much older.
"We've searched everywhere, all the places she likes to go and the places she frequents.
"The Minister of War told me that they had searched everywhere before but couldn't find him, but then you stepped in and found him. I was thinking..."
"Trying anything as a last resort?"
The Minister of Rites swallowed the rest of his words, thinking there was no need for such formality.
【We really searched everywhere.】
Shen Zhiyi pulled up the surveillance footage to three days ago, when the Minister of Rites' youngest daughter was still in the house.
However, instead of drawing or writing those things that couldn't be taken out, he was reading storybooks.
After reading the storybook, she muttered to herself in her room for a while, then changed her clothes and went out.
Everything looks normal so far, but what happens next will make Shen Zhiyi give it a thumbs up.
[As expected of the daughter of the Minister of Rites, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles.]
These words left the Minister of Rites completely bewildered.
How did the search for his daughter turn into talk about her being unconventional?
[Speaking of which, it's not just the Minister of Rites' daughter who's recently gone missing; there's another person who has also disappeared.]
Soon, the city gate guards who had been waiting outside came in.
"Minister, Shen Lang, someone outside is looking for you."
"Who?"
The Minister of Rites was very displeased that someone was trying to take him away.
"it's me."
The person who came was the General of the Cavalry.
The General of the Cavalry was a first-rank official. Although he no longer held real power, many people in the court still treated him with great respect.
The Minister of Rites immediately stood up and saluted the General of the Cavalry.
The General of the Cavalry disliked such formalities and simply waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, by the time you finish your bow, the General of the Central Army will probably be dead somewhere."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened.
"So, General, you're here to find someone too?"
"Yes, three days ago, the Lieutenant General took a letter out and never came back. The old man and the children of the Thousand Guards searched for a long time but couldn't find it. It's really strange."
"I didn't know what to do. When I was about to report this to His Majesty, the Minister of War said that Shen Lang was quite skilled at finding people, so I took the liberty of coming here."
Is that Minister of War out of his mind? Will he start having all sorts of people coming to me every time someone goes missing?
Shen Zhiyi gave a forced smile and said casually, "Oh dear, what a coincidence! The daughter of the Minister of Rites has also disappeared, and she disappeared three days ago as well."
Minister of Rites and General of the Cavalry: "..."
There's a bad feeling about this.
It can't be what they think, can it?
The General of the Cavalry instantly showed anger on his face, but his expression towards the Minister of Rites was full of apology.
"As the master of that brat, the Lieutenant General, I apologize to you."
Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?
Why did the General of the Cavalry apologize to the Minister of Rites?
[Oh, I didn't realize the General of Chariots and Cavalry was the tutor of the General of the Household. No wonder he's so concerned about the General of the Household's marriage.]
However, the Lieutenant General was given tea laced with a sleeping potion by the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and then taken to a relatively secluded courtyard within the capital city.
The General of the Cavalry, who is apologizing: ? ? ?
The Minister of Rites' eyes became guilty.
[Moreover, after the General woke up from his coma, the Minister of Rites' youngest daughter gave him aphrodisiacs. Due to the effects of the drug, coupled with the Minister of Rites' youngest daughter's proactive approach, and the fact that the General seemed to have some feelings for her, the two have now engaged in a passionate encounter in that secluded courtyard.]
[Wow, young people are really healthy; they've been going on for three days and three nights already!]
The Minister of Rites looked even more guilty now.
His daughter is incredibly audacious!
How will he face the parents of the Lieutenant General after this?
The General of the Cavalry went from being shocked at first to accepting it calmly.
Such outstanding women were born into the household of the pedantic Minister of Rites.
It really is a genetic mutation.
"Cough cough cough."
The Minister of Rites was flushed red.
"Shen Lang, this has indeed provided us with a very good idea. The Minister of War is right. You do have an extraordinary ability to find people. Hahaha, I won't bother you any further, Shen Lang."
【Oh? I'm bothering you, but I absolutely have to!】
I really want to see a live version!!!
"Minister of Rites, you are too kind. Your daughter is missing, and I am extremely anxious. I am willing to do my best to help!"
Minister of Rites: Your efforts are just an excuse; you really want to see the show.
Right now, with only the city gatekeeper as an outsider, he can still suppress this matter. But if he takes Shen Zhiyi with him, I guarantee that all the officials in the capital will know about it.
No, no, we absolutely cannot let Shen Zhiyi go.
"No need, no need. You rarely get a day off, you should get some rest."
Before Shen Zhiyi could continue speaking, the Minister of Rites pulled the General of the Cavalry out quickly.
The General of the Cavalry looked down at the Minister of Rites' hand and slapped him without saying a word.
"What are you doing? What are you doing, pulling and tugging like this? You have a wife, and so do I."
The Minister of Rites immediately withdrew his right hand as if he had touched charcoal.
He said irritably, "Do you think I wanted to pull you up? If I didn't, would you let Shen Zhiyi spread the word throughout the entire capital?"
That makes sense.
The General of the Cavalry thought for a moment and decided to tell the General of the Central Army's parents about the news he had received.
The Minister of Rites quickly pulled the man back.
"What are you doing? Pulling and tugging like that, what kind of behavior is that!"
It would be terrible if his chubby son saw this.
The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, about my daughter's matter, could you..."
