"Haha" Xiao Chen sneered, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a deeper light appeared in his eyes, "My wife, don't judge a hero by his house."
"Actually, among the five major families, the Qingshuiyuan Zhou family is the first among them."
"What do you think of when you hear this last name?"
Concubine Shu frowned, and she instantly thought of a very important figure in the court—Zhou Tianfu!
A hint of understanding soon appeared in her eyes, and then there was a touch of colder sharpness, "I see. So it seems that this corruption case in Jiangdong Road is 100% related to Zhou Tianfu. It’s not that we wronged him.”
"I've heard that the Zhou family started in Weishi, but I had no intention of learning about their history in detail before. It turns out that they actually started in Qingshuiyuan on Jiangdong Road."
"Haha, over the years, Zhou Tianfu has brought honor to his ancestors."
Xiao Chen nodded, naturally a little sad.
But the most important thing right now is not this Zhou family, but another place.
Xiao Chen pointed to a red dot in Weiyang City on the scrawled map, and said solemnly: "Right now, the governor feels that the most important thing is the Wang family."
"As for the other few, we can put them on hold for now."
"This governor learned that in addition to Wang Jinli of Daotai Prefecture, the Wang family also has a clan member named Wang Wancai, who is appointed as the Hugu Tongpan of Tongyuan Prefecture. This is a fat man in charge of soldiers, horses and food, and early Before setting off, the governor had already targeted Tongyuan Mansion."
"Perhaps, we can start with this person."
Xiao Chen calmed down and said something strategically, then put down his brush calmly. Suddenly, he noticed two scorching eyes.
Looking around, he saw Concubine Shu and Ji Hongluan looking at him with admiration. The look in the eyes of the two beauties made Xiao Chen feel a little embarrassed.
"You two, isn't this governor very charming? Does it make you want to commit yourself to him?"
The shyness was only in his heart, but when Xiao Chen opened his mouth, he still looked like a stinker.
The expressions of the two beauties suddenly changed. Concubine Shu gave him a look that made her laugh and cry. A shy red cloud appeared on her face, and her affectionate eyebrows seemed to say, "Didn't I give it to you a long time ago?"
Ji Hongluan, however, was no longer so good-tempered. Her heroic yet beautiful face sank, and she scolded: "You damn eunuch, you are not serious. I really don't need to trust you!"
"I thought you could really do something big."
As she spoke, her voice couldn't help but lower a bit, like a murmur of frustrated hope.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but tilted his head slightly and looked at her seriously, "Girl, aren't you secretly in love with me? I think you look like you are disappointed in your lover?"
"W-what are you talking about?"
Ji Hongluan's pretty face suddenly turned redder. She stamped her feet angrily, pushed Xiao Chen away and walked out the door. She buried her head and couldn't help but muttered: "You damn eunuch is simply unreasonable and unreasonable!"
"Haha" Xiao Chen smiled leisurely and found that it was really interesting to tease Ji Hongluan when he had nothing to do. It was really interesting to see the beauty looking like a peacock.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xiang Yichun's respectful voice came, "Master Governor, I have something to report."
Ji Hongluan had a cold face, pushed open the door, snorted at Xiang Yichun, and walked away.
Xiang Yichun looked at it puzzled and confused, but business was important. He bowed all the way to Xiao Chen, cupped his hands and said, "Supervisor, my subordinates just found out an important piece of news."
"There is a Hugu Tong magistrate named Wang Wancai in Tongyuan Prefecture, who is a close confidant of the prefect Li Bingzhu. He and Li Bingzhu handled this disaster relief matter together."
"And this person was cunning and cunning, and took the opportunity to leave evidence that Li Bingzhu was corrupt."
"Lord Governor, should we arrest this person first?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen and Concubine Shu were slightly startled, and couldn't help but smile at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes.
Walking around the desk and walking in front of Xiang Yichun, Xiao Chen couldn't help but patted his shoulder with emotion, "Brother Xiang, you are really a blessed general of this governor."
"The governor was planning to check on this person, so you sent this news to me."
"In that case, you go and arrest this person's family tonight."
Xiao Chen stopped joking, looked straight, and carefully ordered: "Remember, you must let Lin Yi and others secretly detain this person and his family, and don't alert the enemy."
This good news is a God-given opportunity, but if Li Bingzhu takes the lead, things will not be fun.
After waving his hand, Xiao Chen asked Xiang Yichun to do it as soon as possible.
After Xiang Yichun left, Xiao Chen's leisurely mood completely stopped, and he seemed a little reluctant to go on duty, "Hey, this old Xiang, it's not a good thing to be too quick in doing things. The governor hasn't enjoyed it enough. .”
Concubine Shu couldn't help laughing, holding his arm and coaxing: "My governor is a person who does important things. If he cultivates himself for a long time, God will look down on him."
Feeling the beauty's body temperature, Xiao Chen suddenly grinned, stretched out his hand and took Concubine Shu to the bed, "So, my dear, let's not waste our last leisure!"
The breeze is just right and the room is charming.
It was already late at night when Xiao Chen lazily got up from the bed.
The two were having a good time, and Concubine Shu had just woken up after sleeping for several hours. She was standing by the gold basin under the window, cleaning her mouth with coarse salt.
Looking at the beauty's graceful waist standing under the moonlight, and recalling the nonsense just now, Xiao Chen couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.
Just as he was thinking about scoring twice, Xiang Yichun's knock came unexpectedly outside the door.
Xiao Chen shook his head and stood up, waving his hand to signal Concubine Shu to change clothes for him.
Concubine Shu gave him an angry look, and before she could mention her pride, she then thought that Xiao Chen didn't offend her like this all the time, not to mention that it was dangerous for him to travel late at night, so she overflowed with tenderness and stepped forward angrily.
The beauty's hands were as soft as catkins and as gentle as the wind, serving Xiao Chen as he dressed in a noble and attractive purple suit.
Xiao Chen rubbed Concubine Shu's pretty face, put away her indulgent expression, and narrowed her cold eyes, giving off a dangerous aura.
"It's time to stir up the turmoil in Jiangdong Road." With a secret sigh, Xiao Chen calmly pushed the door open and walked out.
Xiang Yichun hurriedly bowed to greet him and reported in a low voice: "Master Governor, everything has been arranged."
"Eighteen members of Wang Wancai's family, including one or more, were imprisoned by the Lin brothers in the dungeon in the West Narrow Alley without anyone seeing them."
"However, at the time of arrest..."
Xiang Yichun's voice paused, as if he was unsure.
Xiao Chen stopped, his voice sank slightly, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"While arresting, my subordinates saw a group of people coming towards the Wang family. I wonder if they have the same purpose as us."
