Chapter 434 Too Scared
Although Yan Chujing had never seen all of this, Chi Xinian had seen it all.
She touched her chin, doubts showing in her eyes.
Isn't this Minister of Civil Affairs a little too scared?
There are many officials involved in the flood issue. If we really want to hold them accountable, half of the six departments can be brought in for questioning.
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the dispatch of officials, the Ministry of Household is responsible for material and financial subsidies, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for planning and constructing water conservancy projects. Officials from the three ministries should all be held accountable by His Majesty, and this is also the case.
Kneeling in the distance.
They are also afraid, but more cunningly thinking about how to shirk responsibility...
After all, the incident happened thousands of miles away in Pingxing Prefecture. Even if officials like them were responsible, the most they would receive was a few scoldings.
However, the Minister of Civil Affairs looked like he had lost his soul...
"And Xue Qin." Thinking about it, Chi Xinian turned to look at Xue Qin, who was frowning tightly and looking annoyed. "He protects the people under his command and has no problem talking back to His Majesty. After all, this official
The Minister of Civil Affairs is his veteran general, and he has served him for a long time. Naturally, he does not want His Majesty to take the opportunity to kick someone out of the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.
"However, as a veteran who has been in the court for decades, he should also understand that no matter how scheming His Majesty is, he cannot directly pull someone down just because of such a thing.
“At this stage, we don’t even understand the problem clearly, and we don’t even talk about punishment.
"He should, he can absolutely take his time.
"But this old fox's face is quite ugly, as if he has encountered something difficult..."
Could it be that the strange thing about this matter lies with Xue Qin?
Did the aristocratic family headed by the Xue family get involved in this matter and cause this flood?
Because of his inherent impression of Xue Qin and Xue Qin's unreasonable behavior, Chi Xinian immediately suspected that he was an old fox who often opposed the emperor and wanted to seize power from him.
But after thinking about it, she felt that it was too early to conclude that Xue Qin had a serious problem.
Can't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry...
We haven't even figured out the whole thing yet, so it's too arbitrary to conclude that Xue Qin is the one who caused all this! Planning the framework based on imagination, and then investigating the case according to the fixed framework, may lead to a dead end.
Or, let's wait for Yan Chujing to figure out the whole story before looking for faults with Xue Qin and others.
However, Xue Qin's strange behavior cannot be completely ignored...
You have to figure out why he is like this.
On the one hand, Chi Xinian warned himself to be calm and not to look at a person with stereotypes. On the other hand, he carefully recalled Xue Qin's every move after he left the queue.
He went through every detail strictly in his mind.
Although it is impossible to analyze what role Xue Qin played in this matter, it is not nothing.
At least, she saw that this man and the Minister of Civil Affairs only showed panic after Yan Chujing carefully questioned Xu Ruxuan about him and left unexpectedly.
Could it be that there are any ulterior secrets between them and Xu Ruxuan?
This magistrate of Pingxing Prefecture actually has close contacts with Xue Qin's group?
Chi Xinian couldn't guess what the relationship between Xue Qin and others was with Magistrate Xu, but she kept it in mind and planned to investigate secretly when she had the opportunity.
The water in Binh Hing Prefecture may be deeper than imagined.
It seems that Yan Chujing will be quite busy in the coming days.
