"Flower cake?"
At this time, the empress asked with some concern: "Is this thing made of flowers? No wonder it has the fragrance of flowers!"
"probably?"
The shopkeeper laughed: "I don't know the specifics. This is the sign of the store and the lifeblood of the store. How could you tell an outsider like me!"
"Right!"
After the empress nodded: "If we go to Boulder Bay, how should we go?"
"Oh, good to go."
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, then walked to the gate, pointed to the west city gate and said: "From here, go out to the west city gate, and then walk straight along Juya Road. There are road signs along the way. If you don't If you recognize it, you can ask someone."
"Well! Thanks to the store!"
The empress nodded.
Walked out of the inn with Hu Meier.
Before walking a few steps, I saw a very familiar figure under the tree not far away.
Hu Meier's eyes showed a bit of shock, and she said hurriedly: "Miss, look, who is that?"
"This looks like Sun Shangshu."
The empress's voice was very soft. This Sun Shangshu, named Sun Chuan, had always held the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue. He was doing his duty for the Zhou Dynasty, but it was a pity that it was later discovered that he had died within two years. , embezzled thirty thousand taels of silver.
It really made the empress quite angry.
Although his family was not confiscated and his clan was exterminated, he was still exiled to Yazhou.
Sun Chuan at this moment.
He was holding his hands behind his back, as if he were a little old man, standing quietly under a big tree, surrounded by people, as if he was watching something.
The empress was also a little curious.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I walked up immediately.
But he found that this place was actually a chess stall, and two old men were sitting there, playing an inexplicable chess game. He had never seen this kind of chess game before.
"Will!"
Then an old man shouted cheerfully: "Kill!"
"Just one step away!"
Another old man suddenly slapped his head and said with great annoyance.
At this time, Sun Chuan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, the loser gets up, it's my turn, it's my turn!"
"Don't worry, I'll try again!"
The old man sitting down said a little bit.
Sun Chuan suddenly became anxious: "Old Wu, don't act like a rogue. If you do, I will go directly to your house to eat!"
"You go ahead, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
"Come on, come on, put it on, put it on it..."
At this time, Sun Chuan seemed to have noticed something. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the empress and Hu Mei'er standing there, with a bit of suspicion in his eyes.
He had a vague feeling that the two people in front of him seemed very familiar.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
However, because he was robbed of the chess game by Old Wu, he no longer cared so much, and pulled Old Wu away: "Get up, get up, an old man who is not practicing, is already almost sixty, is still here It’s shameful to be a rogue here!”
"Hey, you prisoner, how dare you talk to me?"
"What a prisoner!"
At this time, Sun Chuan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he hesitated: "Can I call a prison officer for a scholar's matter?"
As he spoke, he said something like "I have no choice but to find someone. If I don't accept the money, I won't be able to survive in the court in the future."
It made everyone burst into laughter.
On the contrary, the empress next to her looked deep in thought.
To be honest, she was willing to believe Sun Chuan.
A minister embezzled thirty thousand taels of silver in two years. This is already incredible. To put it bluntly, if Sun Chuan let go of his courage, someone would send him even three hundred thousand taels of silver, let alone 30,000 taels of silver.
However, when the house is searched.
A total of thirty thousand taels of silver were dug out of Sun Chuan's home, and not a penny of the silver was touched.
However, at that time, the court was also in turmoil, and the empress could only kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and exiled Sun Chuan to Yazhou.
Thinking of this, the empress felt a little sad.
After leaving this place, the empress sighed slightly and said to Hu Meier next to her: "Look for an opportunity when we go back and bring Sun Chuan back!"
"Ah sneeze, ah sneeze..."
At this moment, Sun Chuan suddenly sneezed twice.
Subconsciously he rubbed his nose, with a bit of fear in his eyes: "Who is cursing me?"
Hu Mei'er laughed: "Then Sun Chuan is really a blessing in disguise. After returning to the capital of the gods, I'm afraid the lady will reuse him!"
"He is also a talent, it's just a pity!"
The empress said with some regret.
There was some thought in Hu Meier's eyes, and after pondering for a moment: "Miss, we are in Yazhou City now. Do you think we should take this opportunity to meet the governor of Yazhou first? Then we go to find Li Xian. ?”
"Zhizhou of Yazhou?"
"Su Chen?"
The empress was also slightly stunned, with a bit of solemnity in her eyes.
She also wants to meet this person who can change Yazhou into what it is today in such a short period of time, but how should she go and what reasons should she use to meet him?
Hu Meier seemed to be able to see through the empress's thoughts and said with a smile: "Let's just say that we are merchants who want to do some business, and even want to buy some properties here..."
"This is a matter that affects local taxation. How can Su Chen not see you?"
Hu Meier stuck out her tongue and said.
"You are the only one who is smart!"
The empress nodded Hu Meier's head speechlessly, and after pondering for a moment, she continued: "Okay, let's go and meet him. It just so happens that I also want to know who this Su Chen is."
"good!"
Hu Meier nodded: "Then shall we stay in Yazhou tonight?"
"I think you really can't bear to part with that inn!"
The empress said helplessly.
"Hehe, that's more than that. I can't bear to part with that tavern. You know, after drinking that drink, I feel like I'm floating in the air, as if I'm in the clouds. That feeling is really amazing. .”
"Um!"
The empress also laughed: "The taste of the wine is indeed excellent. However, the price of the wine is too expensive!"
"Actually, it's not bad. Compared with the price of our Yugong, it's still a bit worse. Regardless of the taste, the environment, and you can also listen to the ditty. The ditty yesterday was extremely simple, but it was also very nice!"
Hu Meier started chatting, and the two of them arrived at Zhizhou Mansion!
