She directly sent the guards down, and within half a day, she asked about the location of Chen Shangshu's hometown. Li Qiuchi did not hesitate any longer, and immediately rushed to his hometown in a carriage.

Chen Shangshu's hometown is in a suburb, and from a distance, you can see a farmhouse compound, the glazed tiles on it are shining with colorful and dazzling light, and the peony flowers planted outside are even more precious, which can be described as low-key luxury.

In the farmland, Chen Shangshu was wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a hoe on his shoulder, happily hoeing the ground. The sun was in full bloom, and he raised his head from time to time, and the two old men next to him helped him wipe his sweat. The two of them smiled kindly, and the folds were about to pile up flowers, and this scene was really happy.

On the other hand, Li Qiuchi was not in such a good mood, when she saw this scene, she was so angry that she couldn't breathe smoothly, and her blood pressure increased. She is running up and down for the ledger, and he is very good at living a quiet life!

At this time, Chen Shangshu had not expected the danger to be getting closer and closer to him, he hoeed the ground hard, and the smile on his face was also full. Suddenly, his mouth was a little dry, and he said without raising his head: "Mother, I'm a little thirsty." ”

A kettle was handed over, and Chen Shangshu didn't look carefully because he was thirsty, so he took a big sip and drank it.

"Chen Shangshu is so idle!" Li Qiuchi's gloomy voice sounded in his ears, and he was so frightened that he squirted out a mouthful of water, and choked and coughed a few times in succession.

Father Chen next to him smoothed him off, and only then did he come to his senses, and after seeing Li Qiuchi's sweet smile on his face, he jumped away as if he had seen a ghost.

Li Qiuchi: "......" She's scary?

She glanced at him coldly, and the smile on her face fell.

Master Chen looked at Li Qiuchi suspiciously, and asked Chen Shangshu: "Son, who is this girl?" ”

Chen Shangshu pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and reluctantly showed a smile: "Dad, this is the crown princess." ”

Old Man Chen and Old Madam Chen were surprised, what is the crown princess doing here? Master Chen was about to ask, when Li Qiuchi sneered and looked at Chen Shangshu, then looked at the two old men standing next to him, and pretended to be surprised and said: "The old man and the old lady are still alive, why did Lord Shangshu say that he was going home to pay his filial piety?" ”

Chen Shangshu smiled reluctantly, his teeth chattering, and his tongue didn't obey. He turned his head stiffly, looking at the two old men whose faces were gradually darkening, and he decided that he still had to argue again.

"Dad, mother, listen to my explanation......"

Seeing that Master Chen picked up the hoe with a dark and calm face, he was so frightened that he ran away, shouting while running: "Dad, I was wrong!" ”

Mrs. Chen also chased after her and scolded: "Stinky boy, I see that you have itchy skin!" This kind of nonsense can also be said! See if we don't kill you today! ”

"Dad, mother, I was wrong! I didn't mean to! ”

"You rebel, do you still want to be careful? If I don't kill you today, I won't be your father! ”

"Master, this kid is a long skill! Say such things and be angry with us! ”

On the open field, a big scene of three people chasing each other was staged, accompanied by chickens and dogs.

Long.

Chen Shangshu stopped, put his hands on his knees, gasped for breath, and his neck was red. The two old men behind him slowly stopped, and they were even more tired with their chests against their backs.

Li Qiuchi: "......"

Only then did Master Chen notice that Li Qiuchi was still standing in place, he straightened up and smiled awkwardly, "Let the crown princess see it." ”

Li Qiuchi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's okay, this crown princess is here today because she has something to find Chen Shangshu." ”

Her cool gaze fell on Chen Shangshu, who was ten meters away from her, and she saw her head hanging low, completely empty-hearted.

Old Man Chen glanced at Chen Shangshu's unpromising appearance, and then he turned his head and smiled slowly, "I already know about this, Crown Princess, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Please." ”

The two sat in the main hall, and Master Chen poured her a glass of orange juice, and then smiled awkwardly: "The tea at home has run out, and the crown princess came suddenly, this is our home-squeezed juice, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Li Qiuchi's eyes shone with pleasure, and after taking a sip, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it just so happens that I'm also thirsty." ”

The two fell into silence, and Li Qiuchi quietly drank the juice, waiting for him to speak.

"Crown Princess," Master Chen said slowly, "From Chen Shangshu's mouth, I also learned that you have been running around for this account book for a long time, and it is really hard. ”

Li Qiuchi put down the juice, looked at him with a calm gaze, and listened to his words.

"The problem of tax evasion is really hateful, after all, taxation is the foundation of the country, if someone takes advantage of loopholes from here, it will damage the interests of our Great Zhou, and in fact shake the ...... of the country."

"Master Chen," Li Qiuchi's face was obviously displeased, "I'm here to ask for results today, not to listen to you guys doing Tai Chi at length." I'll just say, yes or no? ”

"Crown princess, it's not that we don't want to," Chen Shangshu suddenly walked out of the side hall, his voice helpless, "This Liu family is a big tax collector, if we really follow the laws of the Great Zhou, I'm afraid that the country will lose a lot." It's not always good to be upright, so a lot of things, just turn a blind eye to it. ”

Li Qiuchi looked at Chen Shangshu suspiciously, "It's a high-sounding thing, Chen Shangshu protects the Liu family like this, so I have to wonder if you are suspected of corruption." ”

After these words fell, Chen Shangshu saw Old Man Chen's sharp gaze shooting over, he wiped a cold sweat, and swore to speak: "Crown Princess, don't worry, although we connived at the Liu family, we have never received any benefits from the Liu family, all to fill the treasury." ”

After Li Qiuchi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Fill the treasury?" Well, you give me a batch of silver, and I can buy a batch of properties and run them well. When the time comes, it will not only drive the development of the capital, but also not evade taxes, how about compared to the heyday restaurant? ”

Running a business? Sure enough, the crown princess is still too young, how can it be so easy to run these industries?

Chen Shangshu laughed dryly: "Crown princess, don't be joking." ”

Li Qiuchi had long expected that he would not believe it, so he asked, "Have you heard of the Zuixuan Tower in the capital?" ”

Although Chen Shangshu didn't know why she suddenly asked this, he still answered honestly: "I heard a little." I heard that the restaurant has fresh and interesting dishes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of praise, and there are even more imperial and powerful nobles, and rich businessmen stop to take a look......

Seeing the arc of Li Qiuchi's lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the center of his mind flashed, and he asked excitedly, "Could it be the restaurant opened by the crown princess?" ”
