Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Chapter 145 145, Search Warrant
Rong Li stuffed a meatball into his mouth and said vaguely to Pei Qi: "Well, don't worry. Although that kid Rong Qin is not lovable, he still does things well. Since he said If I will help you, I will never break my promise.”

Pei Qi lay on the table, buried his head in his arms, and muttered in frustration: "It's best like this..."

The underground store will open tomorrow. If you miss this time, you will have to wait until you come back from Jinjiang to resolve the matter.

Oh, it's really annoying.

However, her identity as the Imperial Master cannot be exposed yet. If she could, she would have sealed off the Tianxia Guest Restaurant, investigated everything inside and out, and found out the boss who was behind the scenes!
People came in and out of the inn, and there were several waves of people changing, but Pei Qi never saw Rong Qin's shadow from the beginning to the end.

Finally, after another stick of incense, Rong Qin, who had been lingering for half a day, finally walked down from the second floor slowly like an old man.

He shook his folding fan and was in high spirits.

Pei Qi gritted his teeth and said in a strange tone: "Uncle Rong, as the weather is good at noon, are you finally willing to go out to bask in the sun?"

Rong Qin pretended not to understand the meaning of Pei Qi's words, and even pretended to look at the weather outside. He walked to the table and sat down, looking at Pei Qi with a smile: "The weather is indeed good."

"This...grandma, do you want to bask in the sun with me?"

Although she knew Rong Qin was angry with her, Pei Qi, who had been anxious all morning, still had no sense: "I'll show you...!"

"Stop it!" Rong Qin raised his right hand and stopped the swearing words in time: "The Imperial Master is a civilized person and cannot curse others."

Pei Qi: "..."

The words were held in his mouth, and Pei Qi was speechless for a moment.

Rong Li held her rice bowl and buried her head in her arms. Her hunched shoulders easily showed how hard she had to endure the laughter.

Even Baili Qingming, who was sitting far away, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and hid his smile with wine.

Pei Qi swallowed the words, tried not to look at him, and changed the topic to the topic: "When are you going to get the invitation letter for me?"

"What's the hurry?" Rong Qin waved to Tu You calmly, and after Tu You leaned over, he whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, Tu You nodded and left the inn the next second.

Rong Qin picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetables, put it into his mouth, and ate it very gracefully: "I always want to fill my stomach first before I help you with anything."

Even though he couldn't stand Rong Qin's leisurely look, Pei Qi knew that Tu You had just made arrangements for the invitation letter when he saw that he had left the house, so he simply felt relieved and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

I didn't even eat a bite of food this morning, I just felt so sick after eating.

Thinking of this, Pei Qi wanted to treat every mouthful of food like Rong Qin, chewing it hard one by one.

Tu You moved very quickly. He returned to the inn not long after everyone finished lunch. He lowered his head and whispered a few words beside Rong Qin, then handed an exquisitely carved token into his hand.

Rong Qin played with the token a few times and nodded slightly.

Pei Qi was not far away. Although she couldn't hear what they said, she could clearly see the words on the token.

It's a search warrant from the government.

"What are you doing with this thing?" Pei Qi asked in confusion.

Rong Qin grabbed the string on the search warrant and turned it around in his hand a few times. After thinking about it for a while, he threw it directly to Pei Qi.

"Aren't you going to arrest the boss behind that store? Since it's inconvenient to reveal your identity, it's always useful to have this search warrant."

Pei Qi didn't expect Rong Qin to act like this, and almost dropped the search warrant, but luckily he caught it.

"Are you so kind?" Pei Qi raised his eyebrows.

All she wanted was an invitation letter, and she really hadn't thought about this search warrant.

Rong Qin snorted coldly, his eyes drifting to the door with meaning.

"Someone dismantled my carriage at night. If I'm not kind, I'm really afraid that someone will make an enemy of me when they get to Jinjiang and cause some trouble."

He went to Jinjiang to save people, and also to see what Duan Qianjun was up to. If he had a quarrel with Pei Qi during this period, wouldn't he suffer the consequences when he got to Jinjiang?

Xu Chi's status is enough to command the Cui family's army. Since Cui Shaogong gave the three hundred shadow guards to Pei Qi, the troops stationed at Fengyun Pass will also be used by Pei Qi.

In this case, we can't do it as quickly as last night.

Pei Qi lowered his eyes, thinking that she and Xu Chi dismantled Rong Qin's carriage last night, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

But only a little!
It's just that the boss behind the Chaozhou store was able to operate this store in Chaozhou for ten years. The prefect of Chaozhou must have deliberately protected it.

Since he intended to cover up, how could he hand over the search warrant so easily?

Is it possible...

Is the prefect of Chaozhou also a member of Rong Qin?

Thinking of this, Pei Qi raised his head and looked at Rong Qin: "This Chaozhou magistrate is also your hands and feet?"

Unfortunately, the next second, Pei Qi heard Rong Qin's sneer.

"What we want to do does not require a prefect." Rong Qin decisively rejected her idea: "It's just that he and Liu Shuen have not been very happy recently. It just so happens that there are some things that can make him go to jail here. Hands-on, even if he intends to protect the store owner, he still has to hand over the search warrant."

Pei Qi understood.

Well, long hands can do evil.

Although the prefect is not a good person...

"What about the invitation letter?" Pei Qi winked at him: "You don't just want to get me a search warrant to get rid of me, do you?"

Of course it can't be dismissed.

Rong Qin stood up, opened the folding fan with a snap, and walked out slowly while shaking it.

Seeing that Pei Qi didn't move, Rong Qin stopped and turned around: "Don't you want to get the invitation letter? Follow me."

Pei Qi was stunned.

Leaving now?

She doesn't know where she's going yet.

Without allowing Pei Qi to think too much, Rong Qin disappeared at the door. After Pei Qi arranged Xingluo to Xu Chi, he hurriedly followed.

She trotted closer to Rong Qin: "Where are we going?"

"Tianxiake Tea House."

While Rong Qin was replying, he stopped in front of a small shop on the roadside, picked up a jade pendant made of good material and held it in his hand, then walked to other shops to look at it.

Just like going shopping.

Pei Qi followed behind, walking faster and slower with his pace.

She knew that everyone who came to participate in the store would stop at the Tianxia Guest Restaurant, but there were so many people there, how could he know who had an invitation letter?

"What is your method?" Pei Qi couldn't help but ask.

Rong Qin kept it secret and refused to tell her: "You will know when you arrive."

After hearing her answer, Pei Qi knew that she might hear something useful from him soon, so she simply shut her mouth and went shopping with him patiently.

This scene seemed familiar, and I vaguely remembered that it was the Qiqiao Festival in the imperial capital.

It was just that Pei Qi was thinking about something and didn't notice at all. Tu You, who was still following behind him, had left unknowingly.
