The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Li Ruoshuang was extremely happy.

After coming back from the street, I kept playing with the Yingluo in my hand.

While sitting in the inn eating, I looked at Zhao Chen in a daze several times.

But Cheng Chumo and Princess Qinghe were confused.

Zhao Da, sister-in-law, what's wrong? Cheng Chumo asked in a low voice.

It's just a gift. Does it feel like you've lost your soul? .??.

It's okay. Zhao Chen smiled.

He suddenly realized that the time he spent with Li Ruoshuang and his daughter was too short.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this just because he gave her a gift.

Cheng Chumo nodded, but Princess Qinghe looked at the necklace on Li Ruoshuang's wrist.

She was very envious of Li Ruoshuang.

But who doesn’t have money to buy it?

I just received the news that Li Ke and the others have entered Ninggu County. Let's rest for a while today and set off tomorrow morning. Zhao Chen put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to a few people.

After playing and eating on the road, it was time to get down to business.

Finish handling the affairs in Qizhou as soon as possible and go back to Chang'an to rest early.

This is Zhao Chen's plan.

Listen to you, Zhao Da. Cheng Chumo nodded.

Although I am here for a trip this time, I still have to do the things that need to be done.

The situation in Ninggu County is not yet clear. We have to wait for the next news from Li Ke. Outside, try to keep a low profile.

Don't conflict with others unless it's absolutely necessary. Zhao Chen said to several people, his eyes finally falling on Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo glanced at a few people awkwardly and said hurriedly: Zhao Da, don't look at me like this. I promise that I will never take the initiative to cause trouble.

Zhao Chen nodded and looked at Li Ruoshuang and her daughter again.

To be honest, Zhao Chen didn't want the mother and daughter to go to Ninggu County together.

But walking here and leaving the two of them here made him even more worried.

After dinner, take a good rest and set off early tomorrow morning. Zhao Chen finally chose to take Li Ruoshuang, mother and daughter, with him.

…

Ten days later, after many stops along the way, Zhao Chen and the other two finally arrived at Ninggu County.

Looking at the city wall of Ninggu County, a look of relief finally appeared on the faces of several people.

Although there was no rush on the road, driving for ten days in a row made people feel exhausted from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Da, what that guy Li Ke wrote in his letter is really different from what we saw.

Look at the gate of the city. Cheng Chumo stood next to Zhao Chen and pointed to the gate of Ninggu County in front of him.

There are soldiers on duty at the city gate.

The number of people who entered Ninggu County can be counted on one hand.

The only few common people were dressed in rags, not as luxurious as Li Ke's letter said.

There were a few unkempt beggars squatting at the city gate, begging with passers-by.

Of course Zhao Chen knew that what Li Ke described in his letter was disguised by Ninggu County officials.

But I didn't expect that the real situation would be like this.

Go to the city first. Zhao Chen just said this, and then asked Li Ruoshuang to hold Ping An and get into the carriage with Princess Qinghe.

Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo, one dressed as a coachman and the other dressed as a nurse, went to Ninggu County.

Stop, how many of you are there? Unsurprisingly, the group was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

Five people. Cheng Chumo stepped forward and said with a smile.

Five people. The soldier stepped forward, looked at the carriage, and then looked at Zhao Chen who was driving the carriage.

Everyone in the carriage, come out and check. The soldier and several others shouted.

Cheng Chumo frowned, but smiled apologetically and quietly handed the soldier a bunch of money.

, said: There are three female relatives in the car. I would like to ask Uncle Bing to do a favor and be accommodating.

Seeing Cheng Chumo give him a lot of money, the soldier's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction.

Weighing the money in his hand, he smiled and said, You're a smart kid, go ahead.

Let go, the soldiers and others shouted.

Cheng Chumo said thanks and waved to Zhao Chen.

The carriage passed through the city gate and entered Ninggu County.

Ma De, those guys are really dark. Zhao Da, you didn't see that guy said in my ear that I have to give him a lot of money, otherwise he will open the carriage and investigate. Cheng Chumo followed the carriage. , whispered to Zhao Chen.

It was not Cheng Chumo who took the initiative to give money to the soldier just now.

Instead, the soldier and Cheng Chumo asked for some money.

Thinking about it now, Cheng Chumo felt even more angry.

When he was in Chang'an, he had always blackmailed others, but this time it was good, he was blackmailed.

Thinking about it, Cheng Chumo felt angry in his stomach.

I'm away from home, there's nothing I can do. Zhao Chen smiled.

A lot of money is nothing to him, but when a soldier opens his mouth, it means a lot of money.

What goes up and leads to results shows how dark the hands of officials of all sizes in Ninggu County are.

Ninggu Restaurant is not open to the public. Let's find a nearby inn to stay. Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo said.

Li Ke said in the letter that the emperor asked him to leave some information about Ninggu County and things they needed to investigate at Ninggu Restaurant.

Let Zhao Chen find a way to get it.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. The news is hidden in Ninggu Restaurant, which is unexpected.

The only troublesome thing is that Zhao Chen needs to pick it up himself.

I'll go get the news. I'm just strolling around the city. Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen.

He also wanted to spread the love in the city as soon as possible

Find out the situation clearly, lest something happens and you are not prepared at all.

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment and nodded.

Be careful when you go there. I will leave marks on the road. Follow the marks to find us. Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo told them.

Hey, don't worry about this shabby place. Cheng Chumo nodded, said another word to Princess Qinghe, turned around and disappeared on the street.

…

Didn't you find anything? Chen Qu looked at the yamen servant in front of him and asked.

Ever since the emperor and his party left Ninggu County, Chen Qu sent people to turn the Ninggu Restaurant upside down.

He was also worried about what backup the emperor would leave here.

Once the emperor leaves behind, it means that someone will come to Ninggu County to investigate secretly.

This is not what Chen Qu wants to see.

Nothing was found. The officer shook his head.

Your Excellency, County Magistrate, we have been searching for Ninggu Restaurant for ten days. We have really searched every corner.

Really nothing was found.

Isn't that right? The Emperor and the others left nothing behind. The Yamen servant said to Chen Qu again.

There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

Chen Qu raised his head and glanced at the government servant in front of him, but said nothing more.

Since they can't find it, they can't keep focusing on it.

Maybe the emperor really has nothing left here.

Brothers don't have to look for it, but a few people should be left to guard Ninggu Restaurant. No one is allowed to enter those two rooms. Chen Qu still felt that it was best to have people guard him for the sake of safety. Method.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

If something happens by then, it will be really bad.

The yamen officer nodded, finally feeling relieved.

Handing over Chen Qu means leaving Ninggu County Government.
