Hearing that there was no movement outside, Shen Jingcheng quietly put down his hand, and at the same time coughed vaguely, as if he was just suppressing the cough just now.

The horses raised in the shops along the way are specially trained, and although the whistle man can't hear the sound, the horses can hear it very clearly, and the horses know very well what the whistle means.

At this time, the little guy outside the Emperor's Mansion was dumbfounded, he didn't know what was going on, the horse that couldn't be pulled away just now suddenly turned around and ran, and he couldn't catch up with the speed.

In the Imperial Grandson's Mansion, Shen Jingcheng quickly arrived at the residence of the Imperial Grandson Qin Zongxian under the leadership of that person, the cigarettes in the courtyard were faint, a few green bamboos were lush, and the breeze passed, and the bamboo leaves made a light rustling sound.

After entering the courtyard, the person who came over with Shen Jingcheng asked him to stop in the courtyard, and he stepped forward to pass the ceremony, and after a while, he heard a girly singing and harmony from inside.

"Xuan, Shen Jingcheng, the magistrate of Yuhe County, Defu Province, will meet you."

Shen Jingcheng's eyes flashed when he heard it in the courtyard, and he lowered his head and raised his feet and walked forward, until he entered the house, and saw a dark figure in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and immediately stopped and saluted him.

"Shen Jingcheng, the magistrate of Yuhe County, knocked on His Highness."

"Get up." As Shen Jingcheng knelt down and kowtowed, a gentle voice sounded.

"Your Highness." Shen Jingcheng stood up unhurriedly when he heard this, and stood aside, without raising his head or asking.

Qin Zongxian watched him stand still like a log after he got up, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Look up." Qin Zongxian leaned on the soft collapse and said very casually.

Only then did Shen Jingcheng raise his head and look at Qin Zongxian.

This is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, dressed in a black robe, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, revealing a literati atmosphere, and there is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard standing next to him.

At this time, the imperial grandson, who was lazily leaning on the soft collapse, was holding a book in his hand, and looked at himself unceremoniously with a pair of slender eyes.

After Shen Jingcheng caught the face of this young imperial grandson, he lowered his eyes again and bowed his head, showing him the respect he deserved.

"I heard, how many years did you serve as a grain chief before?" Qin Zongxian asked while looking Shen Jingcheng up and down.

"Yes." Shen Jingcheng replied decently.

"I wonder what it takes to be a grain chief?"

"Supervise the cultivation of the township, and be responsible for collecting taxes and grain within the jurisdiction, and then transporting it to the place designated by the imperial court."

"That must be hard, right?"

"Okay."

"Not only do I have the responsibility of the chief of food, but I also have to take time to study, so it's not easy to be admitted to the Jinshi, right?"

"Yes."

Whatever Qin Zongxian asked, Shen Jingcheng answered, simply and clearly, without saying a word.

Qin Zongxian couldn't ask anymore after asking for a while, and waved his hand to Shen Jingcheng gently.

"Go down."

Shen Jingcheng bowed down and took a few steps back when he heard this, and then turned around and left the courtyard.

After Qin Zongxian left, he snorted lightly and turned around and went back to the study.

After some questioning, this person will only answer hard, without even adding anything, wooden, boring, except for being a grain chief at a young age, there is nothing special.

I don't know what my dead prince father and the old man like about this person?

When Shen Jingcheng walked out of Qin Zongxian's courtyard, he was led by a different person, and the road led by this person was completely different from when he came in.

"When I came in, it didn't seem to be the road?" Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Shen Jingcheng stopped and didn't go any further.

"There are many ways out, just follow me." The man spoke respectfully, but his words were not refuted.

Shen Jingcheng's heart sank when he heard this, he didn't know what this person was going to do, but this situation was obviously wrong.

The man walked faster and faster in front, and he couldn't keep up with the pace of ordinary people at all, and Shen Jingcheng didn't expose himself, so he followed the steps of ordinary people, and immediately stopped in place after the person disappeared from a corner.

This was obviously a garden, and he could faintly detect a faint breath in the grass not far away, and the man seemed to be very nervous, and his breathing was a little chaotic.

Shen Jingcheng looked around blankly, then turned his head and walked back, his speed was very fast, and he stayed away from here after a while.

In the flowers not far away, a woman waited for a long time without waiting for anyone to come, and slowly stood up, only to find that the person she was waiting for was long gone.

The woman stood there stunned, and the person who led the way couldn't wait for movement, and quietly showed her head from behind a wall, and saw that there was no shadow of Shen Jingcheng in the garden at all, and she was also stunned.

"What about people?" The man came to the woman and asked.

"I don't know, I didn't come here at all." The woman bowed her head a little stiffly.

The man glared at the woman, and then hurried towards the road he came, there are many forks in the road here, and there is also a courtyard leading to the imperial concubine, if you are not careful, something serious will happen.

At this time, Shen Jingcheng had already arrived at the door of the mansion, and the person who guarded the door was the one who took him to Qin Zongxian's courtyard at the beginning, and when he saw Shen Jingcheng coming alone, his eyes were so shocked that he almost didn't pop out.

He heard his godfather say that he still had something to do today, why did this person come out on his own.

Thinking so, he asked the same question.

"Why did Lord Shen come out alone? What about the person who showed you the way? ”

"The person who led the way disappeared after a turn, I didn't know that road, and it was not easy to walk blindly, so I followed the road you took me to come out by myself." Shen Jingcheng seemed to be very proud when he said it, as if he was so proud to be able to come out on his own.

The man listened to it and said, "Lord Shen has a good memory. ”

"Shen has been to the capital for many years, and I don't dare to say anything else, I still have some ability to remember the road." After Shen Jingcheng finished speaking, he hugged his fist at this person: "Say goodbye below." ”

After speaking, Shen Jingcheng strode out of the door without waiting for him to say anything more, and when he went outside, his horse was long gone, and there were still some messy horseshoe prints on the ground.

The man at the door was choked by Shen Jingcheng, and he was a little surprised to watch him leave after turning around the horseshoe print twice.

The horses are gone, and he is still so calm?

Just when he was puzzled, a footstep quickly approached, and then the person who had brought Shen Jingcheng to the garden appeared here.

He hurriedly came to the person at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Shunzi, has the person surnamed Shen come out?" ”

Junko didn't know what was going on, but she quickly nodded: "Came out, just left." ”

"You ......" The man was a little anxious when he heard this, but he also knew that he couldn't be blamed for this, so he was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and walked back.

"What's the matter, godfather? Godfather? Junko chased after a few steps, but because there was no one at the door now, she stopped again, and just watched her godfather leave in a hurry.
