Chen Ze originally thought that he would not be able to meet Qin Boyang in the next period of time.
Unexpectedly, Qin Boyang came directly to the door of the room early the next morning.
When Chen Ze opened the door and saw Qin Boyang, he was stunned for a moment: "Brother Boyang, how do you know I live here?"
Qin Boyang coughed and hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Xian, Brother Yu is from Qingzhou. The owner of the inn on this street has a lot of dealings with me. I will know after a little inquiry."
Then he whispered again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no one will follow me on this journey, and there will be no official duties."
"..."
Chen Ze then let the person in, and after closing the door, Li Yuankang stood guard at the door, looking at Qin Boyang with a clearly threatening look.
Qin Boyang smiled bitterly, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if you treat me with sincerity, I can't pretend to be stupid."
"The two people the officials are chasing these days should be the Crown Prince and this dear friend, right?"
Chen Ze didn't intend to hide it, and nodded slightly: "Exactly."
"Your Majesty, it's hard work. After all, you have to secretly investigate the people's sentiments. You must not reveal your identity, otherwise there will be no need to visit the people's sentiments." Qin Boyang said again: "When I came here, I asked someone to inquire about the Li family's affairs. Then Li Qin Since I was punished by you, Crown Prince, the day before yesterday, I have no face to go out on the street for the past two days."
"Marquis Guan Ping was furious when he learned about this matter. He has ordered the Qingzhou Prefecture to investigate the matter thoroughly." Qin Boyang said hurriedly: "Early this morning, the Qingzhou Prefecture Yamen's detectives began to search every inn in the south of the city. If we move quickly, , we will check here at noon."
The title of Guan Pinghou was hereditary from the previous dynasty, so the late emperor still kept many of his people in order not to engage in war.
The Qingzhou Prefecture and Guan Pinghou have not changed.
Although it is managed by Zhennan Palace, what Zhennan Palace needs is stability and no chaos, and it has no time to care about anything else.
Qin Boyang hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Guan Ping and the Qingzhou Prefecture have been in a den of snakes and rats for a long time. Your Majesty, this inn is no longer safe. If your Majesty doesn't dislike it, you can stay in a humble house for a few days."
It turns out that Qin Boyang had a premonition that something was wrong and a tip came.
Chen Ze thought that this guy came to him on his own initiative to flatter him to make his presence felt, but the threat in Li Yuankang's eyes suddenly became less threatening.
"Then I'll bother Brother Boyang!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be polite to me!"
As soon as Chen Ze and Li Yuankang went downstairs, Qin Boyang took them to the back door of the inn with ease. They walked along the path and soon came to a small courtyard.
Qin Boyang knocked on the door, and when the door opened, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy quickly called daddy.
After entering the small courtyard, another country woman dressed as a peasant woman came out hurriedly. She quickly grabbed the young man and smiled sheepishly at Chen Ze and Li Yuankang.
"This is the housewife."
Chen Ze quickly handed over his hand: "I've met my sister-in-law."
Li Yuankang handed over his hand, but he didn't know what to call it.
Qin Boyang was younger than him, so it seemed inappropriate to call him sister-in-law. Instead, call him sister-in-law. It wasn't appropriate for him and Qin Boyang to call him brothers, so after thinking about it, he called her Mrs. Qin.
"Aling, go prepare some food." Qin Boyang said to his son again: "Dad wants to accompany the guests. You go out to play by yourself. Don't run too far."
"good."
This small courtyard is not big, and the guest rooms have been taken care of. However, what surprised both Chen Ze and Li Yuankang was that Qin Boyang supposedly had the idea of making money and also ran a chess club. The living conditions should not be bad. There was no servant inside either.
After entering the house, Qin Boyang smiled: "I made you two laugh, the humble house is really poor."
"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous; if the water is not deep, if there are dragons, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous..." Chen Ze said smoothly and sat down unceremoniously: "Since it is Brother Boyang Home, then I won’t be polite.”
Li Yuankang glared.
Damn it!
Although I didn't quite understand what he said, it sounded like the young master was praising someone.
Qin Boyang was even more shocked, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"My dear brother, what a literary talent! Wonderful! So wonderful!"
As he spoke, he began to taste it carefully.
Chen Ze was quite helpless, but he couldn't control his mouth.
Sometimes when doing sales, you don’t have to make door-to-door recommendations, and you don’t have to go to people’s homes often. If the house is small and dilapidated, you can just say this to leave a good impression on others. If you say it too much, you will develop a habit.
"What you read in the book was not written by me."
"Brother, please don't try to deceive me. Although brother Yu doesn't have much talent, he has read a lot of books. If there were such famous sentences, he would have been familiar with them by heart..." Qin Boyang looked at Chen Ze with a little more eyes. Indescribable reverence: "But what the wise brother just said, I have never heard of it."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Chen Ze quickly changed the subject: "Brother Boyang, with your business skills, you must have a fortune! Are you too frugal?"
Mentioning this matter, Qin Boyang couldn't help but reveal a bit of bitterness: "To be honest with you, Brother Yu, Brother Yu had some wealth in the past few years, and his living situation was not bad. He also had an inn and restaurant under his name, and his business was quite prosperous. However, The war was chaotic and bandits were committing crimes, so all my property had to be dispersed to save the lives of my family."
"Life was better when the late emperor was in power, but things have just improved..." Qin Boyang whispered: "Now the tax has been increased by a full 60%."
Chen Ze felt it was outrageous: "So many?"
"It's because of the connections, but not the connections..." Qin Boyang shook his head: "I have gone back to the countryside a long time ago, how can I do any business."
"I can barely make ends meet in the chess club now." Qin Boyang said again: "I came up with the idea of poetry party and tea, but do you know how much I can get?"
"Thirty percent?"
"It would be great if it was 30%!" Qin Boyang smiled bitterly: "Only two taels of silver!"
"What the hell!? My table only has ten taels of silver!"
"The government has to take care of things, the powerful have to take care of things, and they all take up the majority. I am so busy that I go out early and come back late, so I have to suffer two taels of silver." Qin Boyang sighed: "In order to make a living, it is better to have a little more hardship. "
"Forget it, don't mention these bad things and make me laugh." Qin Boyang hurriedly smiled and said: "Let's talk about something happy."
"whats the matter?"
"If you don't recommend me to Mrs. Lin for your talent like this, I'm afraid I'll lose a good thing in the poetry world." Qin Boyang hurriedly said: "I still have some friendship with Mrs. Lin. I think I've already met Mrs. Lin for this talent. We have been friends for a long time, so I can send you a letter of greetings to my dear brother. I wonder what your dear brother wants?"
Qin Boyang looked forward to it: "When you two meet, there will definitely be something shocking!"
"Brother Boyang, do you think I am someone who can compose poetry?"
Li Yuankang on the side said coldly: "Master, just calm down and you will be fine!"
"..."
