I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

A month later.

Anding County.

The streets are more prosperous.

Since the return of Jiangzuo, Anding County has been full of vitality.

A convoy passed by the city gate.

The woman in the carriage was stunningly beautiful.

She is the current empress Chen Qingyun.

Now she went on a secret visit again and actually came to this small border county twice.

The head maid Qiuyue was extremely confused at this moment. She really couldn't understand what important things were in Anding County that required the empress to come twice in person.

Could it be because of that Jiang Zuo?

Qiuyue had been with the empress for so many years that she soon understood the truth.

Could it be that Her Majesty has already...

Thinking of this, Qiuyue quickly shook her head and quickly discarded this strange guess.

"Qiuyue, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Chen Qingyun stuck his head out and saw Qiuyue had a strange expression on her face.

Qiuyue quickly put her expression back on track and said, "My Lord...Miss, I'm fine. The Anding County government office should be ahead. How about I send someone to notify the Anding County Magistrate and have him come to greet us?"

"No need."

However, Chen Qingyun said that this time she was on a secret visit, she brought even fewer people with her than last time.

The elite Tiger Army only stopped ten miles outside the city, waiting for His Majesty's orders at any time.

Chen Qingyun now wants to treat herself as a rich lady from the capital of Guanzhong, and then slowly get along with Jiang Zuo.

Ever since Jiang Zuo completed the disaster relief mission and defeated the Jiangnan family, she has trusted Jiang Zuo very much.

However, before this, Chen Qingyun had promised to let Jiang Zuo return to Anding County, and now it was not easy to go back on his word. He could only approach Jiang Zuo in another identity, change Jiang Zuo's inner thoughts, and make him choose to go to Beijing to be an official.

Suddenly, some loud shouts were heard.

"Come, don't miss it if you pass by. Today, our No. 1 foot massage parlor in Anding County has just opened. If you top up 1,000 taels, you will get 100 taels for free. Come, come, these are the most famous girls in our foot massage parlor. If you come to spend money, you can call any one of them at any time..."

When Chen Qingyun heard this, he frowned and thought to himself, "Foot washing city? What kind of a mess is this..."

Well, the places under the jurisdiction of Jiangzuo are indeed weird.

After walking for only a short while, Chen Qingyun soon saw another strange scene.

After passing the bustling downtown, I saw a newly built building with workers still working on it. From a distance, a sign clearly appeared in front of me: "Biguiyuan, give you a five-star home, the down payment is only three thousand taels!"

Is this a residential area?

Chen Qingyun was quite confused.

She had seen Jiang Zuo's money-making methods, but this variety of new and novel things really made her dazzled.

The carriage stopped at the Anding County Government Office.

Chen Qingyun looked around and slowly got off the carriage.

At this time, Qiuyue stepped forward and said to the official of the yamen: "Excuse me, is your Lord Jiang in the yamen? Please report that there is a Miss Chen who wants to see you."

The official replied, "My lady, our master is not in the yamen."

"Then where is he?"

Qiuyue asked.

The officer hesitated for a moment before answering, "It seems that the foot massage parlor just opened today, so maybe you went there to patronize the business."

"what?"

Qiuyue obviously didn't understand.

The officer pointed to the place they had just passed by and said, "That's over there. If you see a place with a lot of people, you should be able to find our Lord Jiang."

Qiuyue nodded and thanked him, then returned to Chen Qingyun and repeated what the official had said: "They said that Lord Jiang went to the foot massage parlor."

"What exactly is a foot-washing city?"

Empress Chen Qingyun's serious face was filled with great doubts.

"I don't know either, but they said it's over there." Qiuyue pointed to a crowded place in the distance.

"Then go and have a look."

Chen Qingyun said calmly.

She came to Anding County suddenly this time and did not inform Jiang Zuo in advance. Otherwise, Jiang Zuo would have certainly beaten drums and gongs to give her a grand welcome.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo was cutting the ribbon at the opening ceremony of the foot massage parlor.

"Master Jiang, is it true that you can get 100 yuan for a 1,000 yuan deposit?"

A young man dressed in fine clothes came forward and asked.

This group of people are truly loyal consumers of Jiang Zuo's industries.

Jiang Zuo naturally would not neglect it and quickly explained: "Of course it is true. It is only for three days. Don't miss it."

"How long will this thousand taels last?"

The young master asked again.

Jiang Zuo took out a price list with clear prices written on it. He patiently explained, "A regular foot washing service only costs one tael of silver! A premium meal costs ten taels of silver, and a meat dish only costs thirty taels!"

"Master Jiang, please forgive my ignorance, but may I ask what meat dishes are?"

The young man asked again.

"Ahem..." Jiang Zuo coughed twice and said, "As for this, when you come in to spend money, the staff will explain it to you. Don't worry, you will not be cheated. I, Lord Jiang, am famous for being honest in business."

The young man became more and more confused as he listened. He turned around to look at the customers who came in. He could not help himself and went in to spend some money accompanied by the waitress of the foot massage parlor.

"Sir, the prices at your foot massage parlor are not affordable. Although our income has increased a lot, the starting price of one or two taels of silver is still a bit high..."

At this time, another young man in ordinary clothes asked.

Jiang Zuo explained: "Don't worry, our foot massage parlor will have discounts later, and if you want to go to some cost-effective places, I suggest you go to the massage parlor in North City, where the prices are relatively cheaper."

While Jiang Zuo was talking nonstop, Chen Qingyun and Qiuyue had already come behind the crowd.

Hearing Jiang Zuo's voice, Chen Qingyun prepared to step forward and talk to him.

"Please give way."

Qiuyue was responsible for leading the way, and Chen Qingyun followed behind.

Soon, a young man noticed Chen Qingyun and was immediately attracted by her. He said, "Miss, you are very pretty. Would you like to go on a boat ride and have a feast with me?"

As soon as Chen Qingyun appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Hearing the young man's words, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Qingyun's eyes.

All the men who had teased the empress had grass several feet high on their graves...

"Miss Chen!"

At this time, Jiang Zuo discovered Chen Qingyun in the crowd and couldn't help but shout excitedly, feeling extremely excited in his heart.

I didn't expect that I would be able to see Miss Chen Siyue again after not seeing her for several months.

He walked through the crowd and came directly in front of Chen Qingyun.

"So it's Lord Jiang's favorite. I'm sorry for being rude. I apologize." As he said that, the young man actually knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Qingyun.

As an empress, Chen Qingyun was stunned before she had time to get angry.

"Long time no see, Jiang... Zuo."

Chen Qingyun's expression looked slightly dull.

Compared to Jiang Zuo's excitement, she was quite calm.
