When Chen Xi returned home and told her that she was going to travel far to Beiguan, Xie Yuner immediately showed a bit of resentment on her pretty face... Since she became pregnant, her attachment to Chen Xi has increased and she couldn't bear to separate for a moment.

"Why did my husband suddenly want to travel far? I don't know how long it takes to go there, so why would I worry... Dai'er?" Although Xie Yun'er is virtuous and capable, it does not mean that she will not care about others. It's just that many times she doesn't know how to express her emotions and feels that excessive intimacy will damage the atmosphere of respect between husband and wife.

But Chen Xi was open-minded and in his eyes, the couple was equal. There was no need to deliberately let him be wronged and gradually let Xie Yuner open her heart.

Chen Xi sighed lightly: "Why did you ever want to go? It was just a job of imperial destiny, and I couldn't refuse it at all. But I thought it would take not long to go to Beiguan, and it would not take four or five months like going to Quanzhou."

"Mr...."

Xie Yuner wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

Chen Xi gently hugged her slender waist, which was not yet showing her conceit, and said, "It's a pity that I can't take my family when I go out. Is it a good time to accompany you these days? Didn't you let Hong'er and Lu'er sleep with you before? If you feel bored at night, just look for them or let Dai'er accompany you."

When Xie Yuner heard Chen Xi say that Lin Dai would sleep with her, she gently pushed Chen Xi with a little complaint on her face, but when she thought about it, her pink face instantly blushed.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many wives and concubines were married, according to the rules, wives and concubines had to sleep in separate rooms and clearly distinguish them from each other. Of course, in the eyes of the royal family and some powerful people, this rule was pure nonsense.

"Is it because my husband wants me to sleep with Dai'er?" Xie Yun'er complained.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's really what my husband thinks about."

Only then did Xie Yun'er realize that she had a grammatical problem and stopped defending her, so as not to be teased by Chen Xi again.

Just at this moment, Zhu Shan pushed open the door and came in, saying, "Young Master, someone is looking for you outside the door, and I'll give this to you."

As he said that, Zhu Shan sent a prayer letter. Chen Xi opened his eyes and looked down. Xie Yuner asked, "My husband, who is here?"

"A person who is not welcome... Gao Zhifu's grandson, Gao Chong, do you still remember such a person?" Chen Xi put the prayer letter in his arms and turned around and asked.

Xie Yuner thought about it and nodded. Gao Chong had gone to the Lu Pharmacy shop with a few dandy young men to make trouble, which made her worried for a long time, but of course she still remembered it fresh. Xie Yuner asked, "What are he here to do?"

"It should be related to his grandfather's errand and my errand to comfort the soldiers in Beiguan. I didn't expect that he had received the news so early."

The court wants to send errands, and rarely notify them one month in advance. Even if there is such a plan, we have to wait until we leave. This is to prevent people sent on business trips from abandoning their jobs if they have any ideas, or temporarily change and change the person, and there will be unnecessary trouble when adjusting.

Chen Xi has no specific chores now, so Xie Qian told him that there was nothing early, but Gao Mingcheng, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was considered an important official, but he was able to get the news so early, probably like him, not from the imperial order, but from the people with a connection, that the brothers of the Zhang family were the most suspicious.

Chen Xi comforted his wife, tidied up her clothes and came out of the inner courtyard. She went out of the courtyard gate without stopping. When she left, she asked Zhu Shan to close the courtyard gate because he was not ready to invite Gao Chong into his home.

Since Gao Chong arrived in the capital, he has lost his previous playful aura, but has become somewhat mature and steady. After seeing Chen Xi, he saluted humbly and greeted: "Student Gao Chong, and has seen Chen Hanlin."

The school official of the Hanlin Academy is nominally a teacher of all the students in the Imperial College. Gao Chong is now offering school in the Imperial College. In order to show respect in front of Shen Xi, he must call himself a student.

In fact, no matter whether there is any fame or not in the world, as long as the scholar who has not become an official, he can call himself a student when he sees a Hanlin official like Chen Xi.

"Young Master Gao is polite. I got help from Mr Gao outside the restaurant last time, but I didn't thank you."

Gao Chong was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the incident that day. So far, he has not found out who was going to kidnap him. However, his grandfather Gao Mingcheng analyzed that it was likely that it was from the Three Laws or the Factory Guards. This was a small action that the court had to secretly investigate his corruption and abuse of power.

Gao Chong said hurriedly: "If Chen Hanlincoln had not given advice to his ancestors, his ancestors might have suffered now. It should be the students who thanked you for your great kindness."

Gao Chong was a little too polite, which made Chen Xi not very adaptable for a while.

It is still the image of the playboy who was arrogant and domineering, almost a "clean street tiger" in the past, which is more in line with his memory of Gao Chong. Chen Xi thought to himself: "It is easy to change the country and nature but hard to change. Why are you pretending to be serious in front of me if you have nothing to do? Now you are a person with your tail between your tail, but it is because your grandfather is controlled everywhere after he arrived in the capital. Now he serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue but does not have real power... If your grandfather becomes powerful in the future, you will definitely expose your nature!"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It's not necessary to thank you. If Mr. Gao has nothing to do, please go back. There is still some business to do."

Gao Chong smiled and said, "The students came for Chen Hanlin's business. My family ancestors received news that Chen Hanlin would accompany him to Beiguan Suifu, and some words were wanted to be conveyed by the students."

After Gaomingcheng defected to the Zhang brothers, although he had no worries about his life and was in a prosperous position, he was the target of public criticism and did not dare to get too close to other officials to avoid being reported.

In this case, Gaomingcheng could only send his grandson Gao Chong to replace him and clear everything. Although Gao Chong was just a name in the Imperial College, this gave him a certain social status. It would be much more convenient for anyone to visit when he was walking in the capital.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Isn't Gaomingcheng trying to help the money and food? I'm going to give me a gift and take me into the water together?"

With this idea, Chen Xi was shocked... Your Gaoming City has been targeted by the Ministry of Revenue and the Factory Guard for a long time, and now he dares to commit crimes against the wind?

Even if the Zhang brothers support you, you will be seeking death if you do so blatantly!

"I haven't heard of this yet, so I'm afraid Mr. Gao will disappoint him and return." Chen Xi said with a stay away from him.

Gao Chong smiled and said, "It's okay if Chen Hanlin doesn't know. This is a news from the Shouning Marquis' Mansion. If you win ten times, you shouldn't be wrong... Since you are the emperor's envoy, you have to do it well. My ancestors have something to say before leaving... "

Chen Xi thought about it and finally nodded. He also wanted to see what tricks Gaoming City was going to play.

This money and grain was used by Emperor Hongzhi to comfort the soldiers of Beiguan, and he could not move easily. But Chen Xi thought about it carefully. Even if Gaoming City had no idea, the Zhang brothers might put pressure on him and encourage him to greed for him.

This year, a group of capable ministers such as Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia returned to the court, and the suppression of the Zhang brothers was very serious, so that the Zhang brothers could only rely on bribes to enrich their pockets on weekdays, except for land rent, real estate in the capital and business income.

Gaoming City became the lackey of the brothers of the Zhang family, and now he has such a good opportunity to be corrupt and abuse his power. When he leaves the capital and goes to Beiguan, he can make some money and fill his personal pockets... You must know that the money and grain distributed on behalf of the emperor is not based on the average of the head. It will always be different based on the position of the general, the size of the official position and the geographical location of the guard. It can be big or small. Emperor Hongzhi cannot re-collection the money and grain distributed to all the soldiers.

Even if someone talks back, there will be no strong evidence.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "I can't let Gaomingcheng do whatever he wants, otherwise I wouldn't have become his accomplice?"

Gao Chong was obviously prepared for visiting the mansion this time, and specially prepared an official sedan chair for Chen Xi.

But Chen Xi was a little worried, and it was hard to guarantee that this was not because Gao Mingcheng discovered that there was something wrong with the kidnapping, so he asked Gao Chong to take revenge in a play.

"Young Master Gao talks about a place. I've gone back and cleaned it up and I'll go there myself." Chen Xi said tactfully.

Gao Chong said: "Then what about the last time the restaurant? Where will the students hold a banquet..."

Chen Xi nodded and asked Gaomingcheng to leave first, but he stopped and did not go home for a while... He was thinking about a question, should he notify Yu Niang or Xie Qian about this?

When he notified Yu Niang, he notified Liu Daxia... Gaomingcheng was considered to be Liu Daxia's subordinate, and it was very convenient for Liu Daxia to intervene. As for Xie Qian, it was the Grand Secretary who recommended him to Emperor Hongzhi to tell him about the job, so that even if something happened, he would not be able to rely on him.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Xi felt that doing so was just digging a hole for himself... Xie Qian and Liu Daxia said that they would protect him, but on some key issues, they would use him more, especially Xie Qian.

In fact, when Xie Qian sent him to do this job, he should have expected that Gaoming City would have the possibility of corruption and abuse of power. He deliberately asked him this problem and saw how he would "solve it". It was a disguised test. Liu Daxia and Chen Xi did not believe that this scheming Minister of the Ministry of Revenue would not take action. At least he would let Yu Niang follow him. In addition to supervising him, he was actually looking for opportunities to monitor Gaoming City's movements.

So if he doesn't have to take the initiative to look for it, Yu Niang will definitely come to her.

Before Chen Xi went to the appointment, he brought a few brothers from the carriage and horse gangs. He is now a fifth-rank court official, so he has to be a little arrogant when going out. Although there is no way out, if something happens, he cannot be as lonely as a commoner. But finding a few gangsters to follow him out is somewhat reduced. He decided to turn around and prepare unified clothing for these entourages. When he goes out, he will be servants of Shen Dazhang.

When they arrived at the wine shop, Chen Xi found that there was no guest in the wine shop. Only Gao Chong and Li Yu were waiting downstairs. When they saw Chen Xi enter the door, they stepped forward and kept saying that they had not yet come to greet them.

Li Yu and Gao Chong were close together, which was what Chen Xi knew when she first met Gao Chong in the capital. The Li family had never had much contact with people in the court, and Li Yu now made friends with Gao Chong a little bit that Chen Xi couldn't understand... Is this the Li family trying to cling to the powerful or the private relationship between Li Yu and Gao Chong?

The head of the Li family should not be so unwise to be attached to a minister of the Ministry of Revenue who has many criticisms in the court and may even be thrown into prison at any time.

After going up the second floor, Chen Xi just sat down, Gao Chong pushed a brocade box forward and smiled and said, "Talk to express your feelings."

Chen Xi pushed him back without even looking at it, saying, "I'll spare the clichés. What I have always believed in is that I will not receive any reward without merit."

Gao Chong smiled slightly, as if he had expected that Chen Xi would not accept gifts. Although he did not force it, he did not take back the brocade box and let it be placed on the table.

Gao Chong said: "The ancestor of the family has a deep relationship with Chen Hanlin. When he was the governor of Tingzhou Prefecture, Chen Hanlin was still taking the exam for the Tongsheng exam. In a blink of an eye, the head of the case was already the top scholar. He entered the Hanlin Academy and now he serves as a lecturer in the East Palace..."

This is an old routine to make friends!

Let’s talk about the origin of the past first, and then talk about the scenery today. As expected, Gao Chong later mentioned the matter that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to send Chen Xi to cooperate with Gaoming City to do the work.

"... The meaning of the ancestor of the family is that since it is an old friend, it is best for everyone to take care of each other on the road. Chen Hanlin, don't get me wrong. In fact, the ancestor of the family is in poor health and needs more help."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "It's easy to say."

Gao Chong thought, things were so easy to say? But after thinking about it carefully, the "help" he said might be different from what Chen Xi understood, and immediately added: "The ancestor of the family just got the news that someone was going to be unfavorable to the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce led by Chen Hanlin's relatives... It is reported that it was someone who announced the Political Envoy Department of Fujian..."

"What did you say?" Chen Xi was shocked and stood up suddenly.

Gao Chong quickly accused: "Don't get me wrong with Chen Hanlin. His ancestors have sent people to Fujian. I hope to notify the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce earlier and prevent it as soon as possible, but I am afraid that it will be too late in time."
