Seeing Jiang Qiulu's reaction so fiercely, Tang Yi did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately followed the order.
At this time, Jiang Qiulu suddenly had a terrible suspicion in his heart.
In Jiang Qiulu's perception, this kind of item is equivalent to that kind of thing.
In my own time, this kind of thing was absolutely prohibited.
Now that the Great Xia Dynasty suddenly appeared, Jiang Qiulu must find out the source of the goods and investigate the truth.
Tang Yi rushed back to Xuanwu City overnight and immediately led his officers and soldiers to control all those selling such things.
Finally, after some interrogation, Tang Yi found the target.
"Envoy Chen Zhen, the source of supply has been found."
"It's a chamber of commerce, in Suzaku City."
It was already late at night, and Chen Fei, the governor of the town, was ordered by Jiang Qiulu to bring people here to investigate.
"Lord Tang, please bring someone to supervise this place. Don't let this kind of thing appear again."
"I'll take people to Suzaku City for a visit."
"By the way, what's the name of that chamber of commerce?" Chen Fei asked Tang Yi.
"Master Chen, that chamber of commerce was established by a businessman from the Sunset Dynasty."
"It's called Shengyan Chamber of Commerce." Tang Yi replied.
"Businessmen from other countries should establish chambers of commerce in our country."
"We must accept the conditions of the Great Xia Dynasty, and a certain tax will be charged on the goods."
"Is there no one in Suzaku City to manage this matter?" Chen Fei asked doubtfully.
Tang Yi frowned, not knowing the relationship.
Chen Fei felt that things might not be that simple.
After the two chatted for a few words, Chen Fei immediately led people to Suzaku City.
Suzaku City is very close to Kyoto City, only a few dozen miles away.
If you ride a horse, you can reach it in less than an hour.
Soon, Chen Fei led the Jin Yiwei directly into Suzaku City.
The guards at the gate of Suzaku City did not recognize these people, but they recognized the flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives they were wearing.
So I didn't dare to stop it at all.
In Zhuque City, the city lord's mansion.
A soldier hurried inside and knocked on the door.
"City Lord, there is an emergency."
"What's the emergency? Didn't you know that the city lord is receiving guests?" A voice came from inside the room.
"City Lord, the Jinyi Guards have entered Suzaku City!" the soldier said directly.
After three seconds, the door suddenly opened and a man walked out.
"Who did you say is here?" The man asked again with a look of horror on his face.
"It's Jin Yiwei."
"The leader is the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi Town, Mr. Chen Fei." the soldier said.
The city lord took a deep breath and looked back at the people in the room.
"Everyone, please excuse me for a moment."
Then he closed the door and pulled the soldier aside.
"When did they enter the city?"
"Just now, after seeing them, the guards at the city gate sent the news over as soon as possible."
After hearing the soldier's answer, the city lord nodded.
"Tell the people below immediately to hide the rice."
"This kind of thing must not be known to the royal family."
The soldiers immediately went down to give orders, and the city lord returned to the house again.
"Master Ying, the imperial guards are here."
"Please go back today. If they find us together, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the royal family." The city lord said.
"Okay, let's talk about this for today."
Then the Shadow Master led everyone to prepare to leave.
"Don't forget what you promised us." When he reached the door, Ying suddenly stopped and turned to the city lord.
"Definitely." The city lord said.
Not long after these people left, Chen Fei came with Jin Yiwei.
"City Lord Xue Ruhai, you are well." Chen Fei cupped his hands and said to the city Lord.
"Haha, Governor Chen Zhenfu is here. It's hard to welcome him from afar."
"I wonder what Governor Chen Zhen's orders are?" Xue Ruhai asked in return.
"The city lord doesn't need to be polite."
"We are here to investigate a matter on your Majesty's order. I hope City Master Xue Ruhai will cooperate." Chen Fei said.
"Since it is His Majesty's order, I will fully cooperate with you."
Xue Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said.
At this time, Xue Ruhai had a bad feeling in his heart that this matter had been noticed by the royal family.
"City Lord, I heard that the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce was founded by businessmen from the Sunset Dynasty."
"Are there any records of the items they sell?" Chen Fei asked.
"Yes, Ambassador Chen Zhen, please wait a moment."
Later, Xue Ruhai asked the chief bookkeeper to bring over the account book and then handed it to Chen Fei.
After Chen Fei took it, he carefully looked through the things recorded on it.
After seeing the last page, Chen Fei closed the ledger.
"City Lord Xue, are you sure that all the products of the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce are in this ledger?"
Chen Fei gently placed the account book on the table without looking at Xue Ruhai.
"That's right, Ambassador Chen Zhen."
"Our people once went to the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce to investigate, and we recorded all their products." Xue Ruhai said.
"That's it." Chen Fei nodded and said.
"In other words, they didn't sell anything except what's on this ledger."
"City Lord Xue, can I understand this?" Chen Fei asked again.
"What Governor Chen Zhen said is absolutely true."
Xue Ruhai's inner uneasiness became more and more intense, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out.
"Hiss, City Lord Xue, I heard about it recently."
"There is a product in the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce called white rice."
"Is it because the people below didn't have time to update, or..."
"Is the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce bringing in private goods?"
At this time, Chen Fei finally looked at Xue Ruhai, which immediately made him feel hairy all over.
"Chief Minister Chen Zhen, please wait a moment. I will send someone to investigate the matter immediately."
Xue Ruhai is also a veteran and is ready to buy time for the people below.
"No need, I, Nanzhen Fusi, will take care of this matter."
"City Lord Xue can just develop Suzaku City with peace of mind."
"But you must use legal means."
Chen Fei stood up and smiled at Xue Ruhai. This last sentence seemed to be a reminder to Xue Ruhai.
Xue Ruhai immediately nodded and bowed, and sent Chen Fei and his party to the door with smiles on their faces.
After Chen Fei took the people away, Xue Ruhai suddenly panicked.
"Damn it!"
"This was done very secretly, how could the royal family know about it?" Xue Ruhai said with some resentment.
"I'm afraid the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce can't be saved."
After walking around in place for a few times, Xue Ruhai couldn't think of any way to solve the problem, so he sighed and said.
At this time, Chen Fei and his party had arrived at the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce and rushed in without saying a word.
"stop!"
"What do you do? This is the Holy Flame Chamber of Commerce!" At the entrance of the chamber of commerce, several guards immediately came out to stop them.
Chen Fei looked at these guards and his expression suddenly darkened.
"Aren't you from Daxia?"
