Although there was no transaction between the Nanchang governor and the Xianbei people on the account list, because Chu Feng knew that Chen Zhiqing was from Xianbei, and there were two identical Chen Zhiqings, he couldn't help but want to go and check.
But when he went to Nanchang rashly, he couldn't easily deal with Chen Zhiqing because of Miss Chen. In addition, Nanchang was Chen Zhiqing's home court after all. Very difficult to investigate. You can't just take someone down and torture them without proof, right?
Besides, if Chen Zhiqing is really taken down, there is no evidence of his crime. Even if he tells Uncle Chen that Chen Zhiqing is actually a Xianbei person he picked up, he will still fall out with him. After all, he and his son have been together for decades.
Before they could figure out how to deal with Chen Zhiqing, Chu Feng's team bypassed Nanchang and went directly to Shejiang nearby.
Shejiang is not a big city, and the official is just a prefect. Nanchang is to the south and Jinling is to the north. They are both big cities, but Chu Feng only chose Shejiang.
Because Nanchang Chen Zhiqing did not show any dealings with the Xianbei people, and the more prosperous and wealthy Jinling had no Xianbei people. Because there are several government palaces in Jinling. And these princes were all generals who had led armies in the past, fought against the Xianbei people, and were the heroes who drove the Xianbei people out of Liaodong.
Therefore, the Xianbei people did not dare to go to Jinling to do business, and they were even worried that after going there, the princes would be unreasonable and their money would be seized.
The prefect of Shejiang was not on the bill, but Chu Feng always felt that this place was very close to Nanchang and it was a good place to inquire about the situation in Nanchang. It was better to go here for a tour. If there is a problem, just deal with it. If there is no problem, inquire about the situation in Nanchang, and then consider whether to go to Nanchang to investigate! After all, although I don't have anything to do with Chen Zhiqing in Nanchang, I still know that this guy is from Xianbei and has an identical brother, who is probably a twin!
It doesn't seem right! Uncle Chen said: I only picked up one child! So did the twins recognize each other later?
It seems that Chen Zhiqing already knows that he is from Xianbei! However, Chen Zhiqing was picked up by Uncle Chen when he was a child. How did his younger brother or older brother find him and recognize him? But what is certain is that Chen Zhiqing is still hiding it from Uncle Chen! Otherwise, with Uncle Chen's hatred for the Xianbei people, he would have rushed to Nanchang long ago. Even if he did not kill Chen Zhiqing, he would have killed his brother!
What Chu Feng didn't know was that Chen Zhiqing and many officials waited for Chu Feng outside the city gate of Nanchang for a long time. Finally, he realized that Chu Feng had already taken a detour to the small town of Shejiang.
Back at home, Chen Zhiqing told his cousin Miss Chen, "My little sister, my brother-in-law Chu Feng didn't come, but took a detour to Shejiang. It was probably to avoid suspicion. After all, if he came to Nanchang, he must be with me." I meet my younger sister, and when he comes this time, the Imperial Envoy has many pairs of eyes staring at him."
"Brother, you are really good at saying good things for him. However, it is really inconvenient for my sister to go out and meet people at this time. However, I made my brother wait for him for a long time in vain. Next time I see him, I must scold him."
Miss Chen comforted her cousin Chen Zhiqing softly.
At this time, her belly could already be seen to be bulging. The whole person has become more charming, but the skin seems to be better. It was already breakable, but now it is whiter, pinker, smoother and more supple.
Tan Richang, the prefect of Shejiang Town, did not expect that the imperial envoy would go to his own town of Shejiang instead of Nanchang. He hurried back from the gate of Nanchang City in a two-wheeled carriage.
By the time he arrived at Shejiang, Chu Feng had already had lunch. Looking at Tan Richang running up panting, Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Prefect Tan, slow down, I'm not that scary. I didn't expect you to let him go." You ran to Nanchang to greet me. It was really hard work."
"I've met the imperial envoy. I'd like to pay my respects to the imperial envoy. I'm... I'm late, please forgive me."
Magistrate Tan knelt down in panic, speaking in a panic, and even wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"Haha, it was Governor Chen who called you over. I don't blame you. Just now, I also checked your granary here and found that the number is right. I even asked a few people, and they all said that you are okay. Diligence. So, you’d better get up and take a seat.”
Chu Feng said with a smile.
In fact, he also knew that because the small town of Shejiang was sandwiched between Nanchang City and Jinling City, it could be said that if he was not careful, he might be inspected by officials from the two cities to cause trouble. Diligence is a must, laziness and inaction are not allowed at all.
"Master Chu, that's a compliment. It's far from enough for me to do my humble job. It's far from enough."
When Magistrate Tan heard Chu Feng's compliment, he felt relieved. After standing up, he just sat on the edge of the chair with his buttocks close to each other. In fact, he was sitting empty-handedly and did not dare to actually sit down. One hand was still tremblingly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Governor Tan, you are the head of a government. Why are you so frightened when you see me? Is this a man-eating tiger? Or have you done something scandalous? You have no courage at all. How can you manage a government? Common people?"
Chu Feng shouted loudly and stared at Magistrate Tan with burning eyes.
"Plop"
Magistrate Tan knelt down directly and said loudly: "Sir, I am just a coward in this humble position. I have never done anything scandalous. Even the Xianbei man sent by Governor Chen..."
"Huh? Why don't you say anything anymore? Keep talking!" Chu Feng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
"Sir, please calm down. I didn't have any dealings with the Xianbei people! I really didn't."
Magistrate Tan quickly shouted injustice.
"No deal? Do you dare to disobey Chen Zhiqing's order?"
Chu Feng looked at Magistrate Tan very suspiciously, feeling that this timid official would never dare to resist Chen Zhiqing, his superior.
"Sir, I heard that you are very close to the Chen family. You won't cover up Chen Zhiqing, right?"
After Magistrate Tan was silent for a while, he seemed to be a different person, stared at Chu Feng, and asked calmly.
For a moment, Chu Feng looked at Magistrate Tan carefully for a while, and said softly: "The Chen family is the Chen family, and that beast Chen Zhiqing is not the Chen family! This time I bypassed Nanchang, but I came here to investigate him. of!"
"Beizi, Qingtian is waiting for me this time! Beizi, I almost died in the hands of Chen Zhiqing several times. Sir, you have to make the decision for me!"
As Magistrate Tan spoke, he kowtowed hard to Chu Feng.
"Get up and answer the question and tell the story in detail."
Chu Feng said loudly.
"Sir, three years ago, the Xianbei people came to Bei Zhi. But when Bei Zhi heard that they wanted to buy grain at one third of the price, Bei Zhi had people drive them away! Unexpectedly, Governor Chen later asked Those Xianbei merchants came to their door and forced Bei Zhi to sell grain. Bei Zhi had to pretend to be sick and refused to trade with them! As a result, they also sent people to assassinate Bei Zhi. Fortunately, Bei Zhi's wife had some friends in the world and blocked the evil intentions of those Xianbei people. Assassin in clothes. Now I am officially suing Chen Zhiqing, the governor of Nanchang, for forcing his subordinates to trade with the Xianbei people!"
Chu Feng suddenly realized that Magistrate Tan was speaking without any panic at this time and his mood was very stable. Just now he seemed panicked and really scared, but now he didn't even look scared at all! Obviously, the old boy just acted for him again to see his attitude towards Chen Zhiqing. Sure enough, they are all a bunch of old foxes.
