Spots of mud slapped on his robe, and Sun Chiyu put away his umbrella and stepped into the restaurant in Qing County.Because of the county lieutenant's embezzlement, most of the restaurant under the county lieutenant's tent was closed. At this time, there were two people sitting in the middle of the lobby and talking softly.The surrounding area was empty and quiet, except for a few hidden guards in the dark corner, the rest of the people were cleared away.

"Wang County Lieutenant admitted that he collaborated with traders to suppress the grain trade, filled his own pockets, and the disaster relief money went to various restaurants. Only one or two were under the county lieutenant's personal name. It is estimated that less than one-tenth of them can be recovered now."

"Official bank?" Is this how it flows into the private sector?It was the first time Zhou Yixiao met a guy with such high money laundering efficiency.

Zheng Jigui shook his head, and pulled out a stool for Sun Chiyu to sit down: "I sold the grain, but most of it was sold immediately after changing hands."

"He does have research on selling stolen goods. How about nationalizing the restaurants?"

"I'm afraid it can't be done. In the long run, the profit of the restaurant is definitely more than the disaster relief fund. If a fine is imposed, there will be a lot of complaints after a county lieutenant. Speech... oh..." The trouble is that they captured Wang Xianwei's mouth in the restaurant was not clean that day, and he wiped it everywhere, making the whole Qing County dirty.Zheng Jigui didn't sleep well for two or three days because of this matter, and he couldn't figure out why it was leaked after being sealed up.

The spies reported that the guy who broke his mouth has been silenced, which is the method of falling into the studio.

"I was just about to talk about this. Two of the three factions in the Falling Studio have disappeared." As soon as the big stone in Sun Chiyu's heart fell, he was completely different from this rainy day: "The two factions should support each other. Let’s call it A, B, and C?” The other two paused for a moment, then poked their heads to look.

He dipped his fingers in water and drew three circles of different sizes on the table, the sum of the second and third circles was approximately equal to the size of the first circle: "Faction C is a small faction, and faction B is fighting against faction A together." However, they are independent of faction B, and they do many things that faction C doesn’t know about, such as this silence.” What he said was exactly the guy who talked about it with Zhou and Zheng just now.

The two were stunned, and Zhou Yixiao asked: "Do you know about Zhou Shiji?"

"I don't know, I don't know whether he is A or B." Sun Chiyu wiped the water stains on the table with his hand, and said, "I don't know whether it is the A faction or the B faction who caused the locust plague. It's more difficult." Liuye Mountain Villa is no more than the assassin organization with a century-old inheritance, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse!

"This official style really needs to be changed." Sun Chiyu glanced at Zhou Yixiao, who was thinking about it, and a moment later he took an umbrella and went to Chu Chihai's friend's house where he was temporarily staying.

Chu Chihai's friend is named Zhao, a merchant. The former is a sinner here, a sinner who doesn't even bother to hang up his official position, and the latter is the cheapest merchant in Dali. The two hit it off and brought the fashion of Pingjing to this remote village. A few years is not a general vitality.

In addition, Chu Chihai will also help some of the small cloth villages that his fourth brother hangs here under the name of a friend surnamed Zhao. Liuye Mountain Villa has never informed the real identity of the cloth village. Came to Qing County.

After Chu Chihai understood Zhou Yixiao's intentions, he helped introduce a friend surnamed Zhao. The two talked all night. When they came out, Zhou Yixiao smelled of alcohol and vomited in the room for a long time.Although Sun Chiyu didn't say anything, he was also worried that the child was pushing him too hard.

The friend surnamed Zhao agreed to help spread the net, and told the restaurant owners that the money shares from the county captain would be written under the crown prince's name. Naturally, it would not be free, and the transaction would only be completed after the dividends and the benefits of promotion were promised.Zheng Jigui wrote a letter to transfer money from the prince's mansion to make up for the loss, but the distant water could not save the near fire. Zheng Jigui also pretended to cooperate with merchants to sell the insecticide Qilier. It is timely restraint.

This time I practiced Tai Chi countless times, but the ones who benefited the most were the businessman and Zhou Shizhan. The latter often went to the disaster area to comfort the victims during this period, and except for some minions who were right, in the eyes of the common people, these Human beings are the direct creators of their tragic fate. Zhou Shizhan's reputation shot up like a rocket.

The prince seemed to have done something, but this concept disappeared in his mind. When Sun Chiyu asked about Zhou Yixiao, he was still worried that he couldn't stand the fact that the reward was not proportional to the effort.

Fortunately, Zheng Jigui replied without lifting his eyelids: "I'm still feeling uncomfortable, there's been a lot of drinking lately."

Sun Chiyu took the note from the pigeon's leg, and the pigeon shook the water on its body and hid it in the cage, refusing to come out again.

The weather has not stopped for several days, Sun Chiyu thought absently while reading.The letter was about the recent military situation in Ganxian County. Chu Chixiao helped to settle several Di Rong's invasions, but Chu Chitao's soldiers seemed to have changed a bit. In addition, Si Lin's nose was not his nose and his eyes were not eyes to Zhou Shizhang because of Si Chi's matter. , is expected to submit to the prince.

Sun Chiyu secretly sighed that Chu Chixiao was afraid of being secretly marginalized, so he simply ignored that he was still an undercover agent, and devoted himself to helping pull the Si family to his side.

The most important thing Chu Chixiao did under the Third Prince was to help defend the film studio on the bright side, but secretly discovered that the film studio was in collusion with the local snake, and under the guise of not knowing the power of the local snake, the tails were removed, so that the tails of the local snake and the local snake were still there all these years bleed.

Zhou Shizhan is really good-tempered, if it is Yi Xiao, he must be "died in battle" directly.

Speaking of which, does Yixiao have a bloodthirsty tendency?Repressed for too long?

Sun Chiyu shook his head, and asked Zheng Jigui, who closed his eyes for a nap, "Where's Chitao? Here's his letter." He remembered that he suggested Chu Chitao go to Zhen County to try his luck. After going for two or three days, he presumably succeeded in meeting the prime minister. people have a relationship.

"He is helping to take care of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he himself has just returned from Zhen County, let them have a good rest first." After finishing speaking, he simply got up and went back to his room.

Sun Chiyu was amused in his heart, Ji Gui is not a worry-free person, he might not be resting when he returns to his room, he just finds a quiet environment and thinks about how to break the game: "There are many people in the village, you are not the only one who has You are a talented person in the world, rest at ease and don't rush around."

After all, I took the umbrella, and with a bang, the umbrella smashed open the rain curtain, leaving only the sound of thumping rain.

After a stick of incense, Sun Chiyu arrived at the largest Jinmo restaurant in the city. In the rain, he exchanged glances with the handsome young master on the second floor, and at the same time showed a knowing smile.

Putting the umbrella away, someone came to take the wet umbrella in his hand, Sun Chiyu raised his eyebrows, and sighed in his heart that the quality of service in this world is extraordinary.

The configuration on the first floor of the restaurant is normal, but the tables and chairs are of a higher grade than those outside, and even the handrails on the stairs are carved with patterns.Turning to the second floor, the carved screen of the box is half hidden, revealing the noble feet of the man behind.

"This is a suggestion from my younger brother. What do Mr. Hou think?" Si Jin's attendants had already packed out the pear-blossom chair and covered it with fox fur.

The light in Sun Chiyu's eyes dimmed, and the other party noticed it keenly, took a sip of his wine with a smile, and said, "Did I offend Mr. Hou?"

Is this the aristocratic temperament?

Sun Chiyu lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, and said with a smile, "No, I was just amazed by your lord's restaurant."

"How does Mr. Hou know this is mine?"

Sun Chiyu smiled and said nothing, pushed the fox fur from the chair and sat down: "The prince is at the post station, and the third prince is also in the official residence of Lancheng, why don't you come to pay a visit?"

Si Jin had a preliminary judgment on his series of actions, and he didn't seem to be annoyed that the other party would be held accountable.The other party just wanted to tell him the positions of the two princes, so he didn't have to think that the other party was being rude to the nobles, and judging by his actions, he was not new to the world.

Everyone knows that the crown prince is accompanied by the first son and countless talents under him, and the third prince is alone and helpless.

But Si Jin knew that the third prince was surrounded by strange people from all corners of the country, but the pride in the nobles' bones made him disdain to make friends with those reckless people. Therefore, even though the third prince was his brother-in-law, he also wanted to consider the possibility of the prince taking the throne. .

After all, this is the court hall, and it is not possible to climb the gilded platform as long as you have force.

"Master, do you want to do business here? This restaurant..."

"The restaurant is run by a friend, and it's just a stock. What kind of business do you think is good?"

Sun Chiyu felt that the other party had already guessed that he would know when he met at Tian'an Temple, otherwise he would not have directed at him as soon as he came.Since the other party is here to inspect the partner, how can he not save face as the husband of the three young men?He rejected the tea offered by the servant: "It's rice...but the way here is a bit big."

"Lu Qing, don't you want to try it?" Si Jin didn't answer, but pushed the teacup towards him again.Luqing is a famous tea in Qing County, and Sun Chiyu pretended not to be an elegant person again. He rubbed the rim of the cup with his index finger and said, "Picking it when the morning dew is picked, ordinary people say it protects the most exquisite aura, but if Zheng Yu Shi, will definitely say that this is hurting Ye Zi's aura."

Si Jin became interested: "Oh? Why? Zheng Yushi is also from the Tianhe sect?" The Tianhe sect is not a sect, but a group of literati who advocate respect for the heaven and the earth. , so it was dubbed the "Tianhe School".The literati of the Tianhe faction are the most gentle, and most of them have a gentle appearance. In the eyes of most people, they are just little white rabbits with no aggressive power. This has nothing to do with Zheng Jigui.

Sun Chiyu shook his head slowly, and successfully diverted the other party's attention before talking about the three brats.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about each other, and Sun Chiyu's later calmness and casualness were in stark contrast to the first directness, which made Si Jin puzzled.Si Jin, who intended to drag Sun Chiyu along, was instead in a passive state of scratching the wall.When Sun Chiyu left the Jin Mo Restaurant, he stood at the door and finally said mercifully: "The restaurant of His Royal Highness probably has already arrived, and the rice grain should also be brought in. Of course, the rain above the head It's time to stop." Si Jin, who hadn't turned around for a while, couldn't help but slapped his fan and laughed out loud. At this time, Sun Chiyu's umbrella was covered with a layer of water. Take a breath.

It's tiring to communicate with foxes.

The events in Qing County came to an end after the rainy season, and the people of Lancheng began to farm again. People in Qing County lived their lives like normal people. The biggest change is probably that the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea in the market are cheaper. If you are more careful, you will find that the official's house has changed a plaque.

Zhou Yixiao stabbed the corruption in the two cities of Remnant Ridge to the top with a pleading, and pretended to cry a few words to get the qualification to handle the disaster relief money. It is not silent in the court, but it is just the money posted by others, which is hard to say What, not to mention business is cheap.In contrast, the people praised Zhou Shizhan, and the emperor also praised the third son without hesitation in front of all courtiers, and buried him with rewards.

Zheng Jigui was silent throughout the morning court, and went home regardless of the cynicism of his colleagues, and secretly met with two young men and a gentleman.

The people from Qing County have already given orders, and they also started to loosen the soil for the officials of Qing County. Among the several suggestions that Zhou Yixiao put forward in the court hall, several were related to the reform of the official inspection system, but no one in the court cared. These little things did not cause a big storm.

That was what Zhou Yixiao drove out without sleep for three days, and it was also discussed by him and his think tanks in seven days.

And drink it.

Sun Chiyu added the last sentence in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of Baozi who cried "why" in Tian'an Temple back then. At that time, why was he taking on the heavy responsibility of the crown prince and becoming a crown prince.Now... probably why it's hard work?

"The people don't understand the relationship between the policy and whether they plow the land." Perhaps seeing the reason for Sun Chiyu's depressed face, Zheng Jigui added.

The difference is probably that one can keep food when you are most hungry, and the other can keep food for a hundred years.

It's just that the success rate of the latter is also somewhat pitiful.

"Don't you want to fight it out?" Sun Chiyu thought to himself, it's like this in all ages, and seeing is believing.

After the four of them communicated, Sun Chiyu and Chu Chitao returned to Chu's house. Ten days later, the two had to return to the frontier.The two believed in each other, and Sun Chiyu couldn't help asking about Zhen County. The young man was not interested, and he replied casually: "That's it."

Relying on himself as the teacher of the three boys, Sun Chiyu said with a smile: "You won't embarrass our Crown Prince in Zhen County, will you?"

Unsurprisingly, Chu Chitao exploded like he was being pulled: "How is that possible! The Gan family has encountered some difficulties. Fortunately, it is a well-known big family and did not lose its ancestral hall. After the county lieutenant at the office said it, he went to Ancheng and Luocheng to have a look. There was nothing serious, so he brought the refugees back to Lancheng. They refused to meet the deadline. Many people scolded me as a dog officer, but I didn't care. Just get the food."

Chu Chitao can't say how well he handled it, at least he stopped the spread of refugees and the conflict between the government and the people, but he took a big pot of "dog officials" all by himself.

However, Sun Chiyu noticed that the other party had never mentioned anything about the Gan family other than the first few sentences, so he looked at the boy who had suddenly become very enthusiastic about political affairs, and the latter scratched his head embarrassingly.Sun Chiyu felt that he could never stop sighing in anger, so he remained silent all the way.

Chu Chitao looked foolish, but he also had his own mirror in his heart. The guy in it was not a general on an iron horse, but a coward in adult armor.

When he came back after four years, Ji Gui still whispered his whispers in his ears. He really couldn't ignore the big bear boy who was riding a horse in front, and finally said something when he got off the horse.

"Chi Tao, we all want you to find a companion."

The tall boy froze.

"Sir, would you like some wine?"
