The next morning, Li Jing did not enter the city with much fanfare, and even deliberately let most of the guards and entourage stay in the place where they lived last night, and he took Li Zhong and the two guards into Luzhou City quietly.

"It doesn't seem to have changed much from a few years ago."

After walking on the streets of Luzhou City for a while, Li Jing already had a preliminary impression in his heart. The only thing that surprised him a little was that the road was quite clean, as if it had been cleaned for his arrival......

"Do they know I've arrived?"

He frowned imperceptibly, but Li Jing quickly smiled dumbly and shook his head.

Even if you know, it doesn't seem strange.

After all, it is the right scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and now he is still in such a new and sensitive position as the customs envoy, Li Jing's trip cannot really be without any movement at all. It's like the states and counties that I passed through along the way, everywhere I went, there was a restlessness, and which of the officials was not careful and dedicated?

This time I came to Luzhou, even if someone got the news in advance, it didn't seem strange.

But whether you know or don't know, anyway, no one has stepped forward to greet Li Jing now, so he should treat these people as if they don't know about his arrival.

"Hehe, it's okay, you just go and inquire."

Seeing that there were gradually more people in front of him, Li Jing waved his hand at the somewhat nervous guards, asking them to inquire about King Xu's reputation in this Luzhou City as he said earlier, but he continued to walk forward with steady steps.

The two guards hesitated for a moment and dispersed, leaving Li Zhong alone to guard Li Jing's side.

As he walked, Li Jing looked at the scenes on both sides of the street with interest, which corroborated with his memories from a few years ago - overall, it didn't seem to have changed much.

This is not surprising, after all, only four years have passed.

And this is not a prosperous place in the first place, and the whole Luzhou is only so popular, so naturally it cannot be compared with Chang'an and Luoyang. However, after walking on the street for a long time, Li Jing's brows became more and more wrinkled, and he couldn't stretch it out......

Strange, so weird!

If he just felt a little awkward before, then after walking for such a long time, Li Jing found that what he just did not seem to be delusional, but that the inside of Luzhou City was really clean!

So when Li Jing felt strange and began to observe carefully, he finally found some clues: "Along the way, the road surface seems to be quite smooth, and it seems to be ...... Is it specially trimmed? ”

And......

Not only did the road surface seem to have been trimmed and spread out very smoothly, but Li Jing also found something that surprised him even more, that is, he didn't seem to find a single garbage accumulation along the way, let alone the yellow and white things that were common on the walls and alleys of other cities.

"Hehe, interesting."

After standing on the side of the road and carefully observing the time of the two pillars of incense, Li Jing finally frowned and smiled with interest.

In this short time, he found three or four people walking past him with useless things in their hands, but not one of them discarded them at will, but threw them into a wooden barrel three feet away from him. One of them had already been discarded on the ground, but he immediately picked it up, turned around and walked dozens of steps and threw it into the barrel......

For the people in Luzhou City, it was as if someone had forced them to behave like this.

Just when Li Jing was puzzled, but there was a faint gain, the two guards returned to his side one after the other, bowed slightly and said, "Xianggong, we are back." ”

"Oh? How is it? ”

After taking a few steps forward and finding a relatively secluded place, Li Jing asked lightly.

"This ......"

One of the guards hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Returning to the Prime Minister, the people in this Luzhou City seem to be ...... to King Xu Not much seems to be known. ”

"Don't know much? What do you mean? ”

With a frown, Li Jing suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Yuanjia is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the history of Luzhou's assassination can be said to be a person who has attracted much attention in Luzhou City, how can he not say much? In Li Jing's opinion, these two guards were either lazy or too eager to protect themselves, otherwise how could they ask such a result.

"Xianggong, that's it."

Seeing Li Jing's face sank, another guard hurriedly came over and whispered: "I asked four or five people, and they all said that except for the big days such as spring ploughing, King Xu will come out to show his face, and almost all of them are usually in the government office, and political affairs are handled by officials such as Beijia and Changshi...... Not to mention the ordinary people in Luzhou City, there are many officials with lower grades, and it is difficult to see him a few times a year. ”

“……”

After listening to the second guard's answer, Li Jing was stunned for a moment and was completely speechless.

In this way, I really want them.

But is it true that this King Xu can't get out of the door of the government office a few times a year? Even if he doesn't appear in Luzhou City, doesn't he usually go out to hunt or play? Staying at home all day reading and writing?

After pondering for a moment, Li Jing beckoned: "Li Zhong, how far is it from the Luzhou Government Office?" ”

"Back to Xianggong, it's only half a mile ahead."

"Let's go, go to the Luzhou Government Office!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Jing took the lead and walked forward.

inquired about King Xu's comments, and it seemed that he had gained nothing; Looking at the appearance of Luzhou City, in addition to being relatively clean, it seems that there is not much difference from a few years ago, and Li Jing has no interest in continuing to wander outside. And although he is a servant of the right scholar and an envoy of customs, Li Yuanjia is a prince after all, and the title is far above Li Jing, even if he is low-key, he should visit in person......

Strictly speaking, Li Jing's rash visit is a bit rude.

After all, it was a prince, even if Li Jing was a powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty, if he wanted to visit Li Yuanjia, he would definitely have to hand over a post in advance to show respect, and only after getting permission would he come to the door. But fortunately, in addition to Li Jing's special identity as an envoy to Luzhou this time, Li Shimin is standing behind him, so it is barely reasonable.

However, all the way to the door of the Luzhou Government Office, Li Jing stood still far away.

What's going on here?

From a distance, he saw a large number of people coming in and out at the gate of the Luzhou Government Office, as if they were transporting a large amount of stone and wood inside, and at the same time transporting soil outward, which made Li Jing couldn't help frowning again.

It seems that what kind of work is going on in the government office?

"Humph! Monkey business! ”

After seeing this busy scene, Li Jing subconsciously snorted.

Build a new house, or renovate a garden?

But no matter what Li Yuanjia is doing now, isn't it all nonsense to do these things at this busy time of spring ploughing in March? Li Jing, who has not yet seen King Xu, is in a little unhappy mood at the moment......
