After receiving Su Cheng's assurance, Shen Youwei beamed and showed a long-lost smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chunhua Qiuyue, who had been preparing outside for a long time, personally brought the food, followed by several servants.
Su Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.
It seems that my wife is well prepared for tonight.
"Come on, sir, eat a chicken drumstick!"
Shen Youwei personally picked up food for Su Cheng and said without stopping: "By the way, today's matter is only between us. You are not allowed to embarrass Shen Xiangxing."
These words directly betrayed Shen Xiangxing.
It is also equivalent to telling Su Cheng: Shen Xiangxing is the "spy" I arranged to be by your side!
"Okay, okay, I won't embarrass him." Su Cheng agreed on the surface.
But I secretly made up my mind that I have to give this guy some color tomorrow, otherwise he will always report these things to his wife.
The dinner was only finished with Su Cheng's promise.
After an uneventful night, when the next morning came, Su Cheng took Shen Xiangxing directly to inspect the grain harvest.
And for several days, Su Chengdu took Shen Xiangxing down, on the one hand to inspect and on the other hand to record the grain harvest.
Over the past few days, Shen Xiangxing lost a lot of weight, and all his muscular body was tanned.
This made Shen Xiangxing so tired that he complained repeatedly, and it was useless to cry to Su Cheng.
It wasn't until a few days later that news finally came from Linjiang City.
On this day, Su Cheng was still inspecting the grain harvest situation outside the city, and Tian Dazhuang came straight to this side from afar.
"My lord, my lord, someone from Linjiang City is here!"
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this, thinking that it was finally here.
"You continue to record the amount of grain here, I will go back first."
Su Cheng gave Shen Xiangxing a warning and rode back to the government office in spite of the other party's bitter look.
Arriving at the gate of the government office, a group of soldiers were waiting there. Seeing Su Cheng coming in official uniform, everyone saluted him:
"I've met the Marquis!"
"You don't have to be polite, please speak inside." Su Cheng stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to go in first.
"I don't dare. Lord Marquis invites you first."
The two parties chatted for a while before entering the lobby. The captain at the head came up with his official uniform and official seal and said with a smile:
"Master Marquis, this is your official seal and official uniform."
"Thank you for your work. Please take this little thing to drink tea." Su Cheng motioned to Tian Dazhuang to take over the official uniform and official seal, while he took out a small bag of silver and handed it over.
"This...how is this so embarrassing."
"You're welcome. You've come all the way to quench your thirst with this little money and some tea."
Su Cheng smiled and said: "Besides, I also have something I want to ask you about."
The captain was also a smart man and understood that Su Cheng's purpose in giving him the money was to get information.
"The Marquis is so generous, and I don't want to be verbose. As long as I know, I will definitely know everything and tell you everything!" The captain put away the money and hugged his chest as he promised.
Su Cheng was not polite. There were some things that he really had no information about in Liuhe and could only learn about them from these people.
"I wonder how Zhao Kangyu and his son are doing now?"
As soon as these words came out, the captain's expression changed, and he looked a little unhappy.
Su Cheng noticed this man's expression and wondered if something had happened.
"Tian Dazhuang, you go down first."
"yes!"
After sending everyone down, Su Cheng said solemnly: "Did something happen to the Zhao family and his son?"
"This..." The captain smiled bitterly: "Originally, I shouldn't have told you, Lord Marquis, about this matter, but since you asked, I can only tell you boldly."
Having said this, the captain looked around and found that there were no outsiders, so he whispered:
"Master Hou, you don't know, this Zhao family father and son are really in trouble!"
"When the two of them were being escorted to the capital together, they encountered robbers on the road. All the officers and soldiers were seriously injured. The Zhao family and his son were killed. It is said that their heads were cut off."
"This matter, the higher-ups have issued a hush-hush order and are not allowed to be spread. You, Lord Marquis, can only know about it."
"It's getting late, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Cheng to ask any more questions, the man bowed his hands and left.
When Su Cheng heard this, his eyes narrowed and a cold look flashed through his eyes.
Robbers?
I'm afraid he's a dead soldier, right?
This group of people acted in a measured manner. They did not dare to kill the officers and soldiers, but only killed Zhao Kangyu and his son. This was because they clearly did not want these two people to enter the capital.
Cutting off the head must be to ensure that the father and son can be killed to avoid a drama of resurrecting the dead.
This group of people are quick and accurate, definitely not something ordinary robbers can do.
It must be that the people behind Zhao Kangyu didn't want him to return to Beijing, so they killed them in advance and cut off this clue.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng became wary.
If it was really the person behind Zhao Kangyu who did it, the other party would probably not let him go.
It would be fine if he had been in Liuhe, but once he left Jiang Province, the other party would definitely take action.
Since this person is the mastermind behind Zhao Kangyu, he must be very powerful and able to support dead men. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
It seems that I have provoked a very big shot!
The exposure of the dead soldier forced the opponent to give up Zhao Kangyu, and even disrupted the opponent's deployment.
"It's really a big headache to mess with such a person. It seems that I will just stay in Liuzhou from now on."
Su Cheng shook his head and made up his mind not to leave Jiang Province in the future.
Anyway, it would be nice to be a magistrate here, a free marquis, and work for the welfare of the local people. It would be nice to go out and play with my wife when I have time.
As for leaving Jiang Province and going to Kyoto, he had no such idea at first. Now seeing the appearance of Zhao Kangyu and his son, it strengthened his determination to be a free and easy prince.
Governor Zhang Yuanzheng has already secured a title for himself. Once the title is granted, his identity as a Marquis will be fully confirmed, which is like adding a life-saving talisman.
Ordinary officials, even high-ranking officials, would not dare to be presumptuous when facing a prince like him!
With the title of Marquis, no one will dare to do anything to me as long as I don't seek death.
Moreover, by then the wife's imperial edict will be over, Su Cheng no longer has to worry about his wife getting into trouble.
After all, my wife is quite capable of causing trouble. If something happens again one day, she has a destiny and others will be wary of her.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that he still had a lot to do next.
Moreover, the end of the year is coming soon. Calculating the time, Liu Changfeng and Yang Lingxuan are going to have their wedding again. It is estimated that these two people will be back soon.
After taking a closer look at my own affairs, I decided that the development of special industries in Meihua County must be completed first. It seems that I have to go and see the situation there when I have time.
After so many days, the Meihua County Magistrate must have completed the integration and is waiting for the arrival of the oiran.
While thinking, Tian Dazhuang's voice appeared outside: "Sir, the Meihua County Magistrate sent someone to deliver the invitation!"
