The next day, Ji Yuan pretended as if nothing had happened and asked his men to tie the big boxes onto the carriage.

Cloud eagles opened the way, bullfights guarded them, and a large group of people set off from the post station and headed for Huarong Fucheng.

It was early spring, and the chill was turning from strong to weak. There were gradually more and more merchant convoys, single gangs on the road, and many well-dressed men carrying knives and swords.

The four tall city gates were like crawling giant beasts, opening their mouths to suck in the flow of people. The armored soldiers glanced at them coldly, showing no sign of relaxation.

Even if the Jianghu people have a strong temperament and want to enter the city, they will obediently take off their swords and hand over their backpacks, and they will only be allowed to pass if the search is correct.

From this, we can see that Jing Chao's horse riding in the rivers and lakes has truly wiped out the four words "violating the ban".

"Huarong Mansion is adjacent to the center, with both land and water routes open, and it is quite prosperous.

In addition, there are few natural disasters and life is quiet, so people can live and work in peace and contentment.

But if you go further outside, it may not be so prosperous."

Ji Yuan was sitting on the back of Hu Leibao. Today he had changed into neat regular clothes instead of the eye-catching red python robe.

If you ignore the small flags on the left and right, like the stars over the moon, the Tiqi, the stern young man with an eagle eye and a wolf look at him, he has a bit of a chivalrous spirit in bright clothes and angry horses!

Snap!

The Yunying Tiqi who was leading the way shook his whip and made an explosion in the air as a reminder.

The long and slow convoy of merchants did not dare to block the road and hurriedly made way for a highway.

"Beizhen Fusi..."

“It’s so nice to see Qianhu!”

"My hair is tied up with a wooden hairpin before I reach the crown! Could it be the young man who topped the list?"

"Didn't you hear the big commotion over at Fuyun Mountain, like the sky was falling and the earth was falling? He stretched his bow and shot the great master, a feat that had not happened in three thousand years!"

"..."

On both sides of the official road, various discussions arose one after another.

Even though the voice was very low, every word was still transmitted clearly to Ji Yuan's ears.

"I really got it right when I was imprisoned. I reached the top of the list and announced the Jing Dynasty. From now on, no one in the world will recognize you!

Wherever you go from now on, you will steal the show."

The sharp five senses that combine body and soul not only make Ji Yuan's hearing extraordinary.

He can even detect the fluctuations of thoughts emanating from the traveling merchant fleet.

"At a glance, there is no murderous intent. Even if the top assassin is hiding in the crowd, he will never be able to hide it from me!

As the saying goes, before the autumn wind moves, the cicada wakes up first, and the plot is unpredictable and you will die without knowing it!"

Ji Yuan's mind wandered, so he dismounted and threw the reins to Tong Guan who was accompanying him.

The soldiers guarding the city dispersed on their own, not to mention coming forward to interrogate, as if they would get shivers in their calves if they came closer.

Obviously, this young man is very powerful!

Just like a giant dragon and python entering the river, causing a storm to come!

This is the transformation brought about by luck after being promoted to the king level.

From 'Qinghou' to 'Purple King', from 'God's Favor' to 'Humanity Noble Purple'.

Ji Yuan, who has become more and more prosperous, now has an air of control over everything in his movements!

"When passing by Huarong Mansion, why don't you go to the official residence to pay a visit to the master of the mansion?"

A large group of people filed in from the city gate. Ji Yuan chuckled lightly, held a gold-gilt thorn in the palm of his sleeve, turned to Pei Tu and said:

"Find a better place to stay, don't disturb the people, don't make it difficult for the brothers in the Army and Horses Division, and restrain your arrogance."

Tong Guan held down the waist knife and stepped forward:

"Sir, I am not familiar with this place, will it be wrong to go alone..."

Ji Yuan shook his head and said:

"Even if the Hongmen Banquet is difficult for me to handle, what else can you do to help?

In broad daylight, with everything clear, setting up an ambush to assassinate the imperial official will make the palace owner lose his head."

Tong Guan lowered his eyes, thinking of the three great pills in his arms, and said softly:

"Sir, would you like me to secretly contact the spies in Huarong Mansion to inquire about the situation?"

Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows, nodded and said:

"Let Brother Tiqi out so that we can cover our eyes and ears.

A city is full of dragons and snakes, and if our trees are tall and attract the wind, if we don’t keep them together, there will be several pairs of secretly watching eyes, staring at you and me.”

Tong Guan understands and writes it down silently.

After exchanging a few words casually, Ji Yuan looked like a tourist from other places, walking unhurriedly and unhurriedly to the mansion master's residence alone.

"The feud between the vassal prince and the prince... I don't want to get involved in this muddy water, but I can't avoid it.

I often say that fists are power. If you want to gain power, you must make a fist.

But the higher you stand, the harder it becomes to be impartial."

After receiving the account books from Zhou Shaocheng last night, Ji Yuan thought about it for a long time and finally chose to go to the appointment.

If he turns a blind eye and treats it as if it doesn't happen, he can avoid a lot of trouble, but it will be difficult to face Bai Hanzhang.

To be fair, Ji Yuan really thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is a nice person.

In such a world, such a world, it is extremely difficult for the prominent and powerful to look down on the lowly and trivial.

"Debts of love are really difficult to repay.

Without Bai Hanzhang's imperial edict, a son and a daughter died, how could the Duke of Liang's palace be so peaceful?"

Ji Yuan was enjoying his time and was very interested in visiting the vendors and shops in the market. He entered the inner city through the outer gate and saw the palace lord's official residence.

It may have been in disrepair for a long time, and it does not have the expected grandeur. The walls are peeling off, and the stone lions placed at the door are also mottled.

"It's not like a place where a feudal official lives."

A flash of surprise flashed across Ji Yuan's eyes. According to the clear records in "Jingchao Huidian Examples", the first-rank officials were given twenty rooms, the second-rank officials were given fifteen rooms, the third-rank officials were given twelve rooms, and the fourth-rank officials were given twelve rooms.

Ten rooms.

Whatever happened to Lord Zhou Shaocheng, he should be divided into a big house with five in and three out.

Furthermore, he is not an idle official in name only, but a powerful official in charge of the government. It is indeed rare to live in such a shabby place.

"It's just not clear, is it superficially clean, or is it the unity of knowledge and action?"

Ji Yuan smiled playfully, he was not naive enough to think that the prince's party and the ministers of the East Palace were all upright and upright.

I just called a doorman and handed my gilded badge in. Not long after, there were hurried footsteps and a middle-aged steward came to greet me.

"I have neglected Mr. Qianhu. I have been feeling unwell these past few days. I am staying in the mansion to recuperate. I am unable to leave the mansion in person. I am truly sorry."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Ji Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Master Zhou is the father-in-law of the same place, he is busy with government affairs, and he is even higher than me in terms of character and rank. There is no reason for a superior official to receive a subordinate official."

Although he said this, his posture remained upright, his eyes were calm, and he didn't look humble at all.

"Master Qianhu is a dragon and a phoenix among men, a handsome man, a true genius who is proud of his peers!

I have given you many warnings, never lose your etiquette!"

The steward made an invitation gesture and introduced Ji Yuan into the official residence.

Walking through the corridor, I didn’t see many servants, maids or maids along the way.

There are just a few old ladies washing clothes, cooking and sweeping, and a big guard who is practicing with sticks.

Soon I came to the study, the wooden door was open, and sitting inside was a middle-aged man with a simple face and white robes.

The head of Huarong Mansion, Zhou Shaocheng.

"Ji Qianhu, please take a seat."

The middle-aged man did not stand up, but continued to bow his head at his desk, holding his pen as fast as flying.

It’s hard to imagine that this is the head of Mu Shou’s palace. Ordinary wealthy people can show off their airs and be more dignified than him.

"Fusheng, make a pot of good tea."

Zhou Shaocheng seems to be a serious man by nature. He has neither the scholarly spirit of studying classics nor the aristocratic spirit of making decisions for an official.

"Being from Jixia Academy is indeed different from Shangyin."

Ji Yuan glanced around without revealing any trace, and found that on the bookshelf of the Huarong Palace Master, there were no Four Books, Five Classics, and Historical Collections of Various Scholars.

On the contrary, there are several miscellaneous books such as "Essentials for Elevating the People" and "Gong Kai Wanwu".
