These days, Shen Zhao seems to be following Sheng Qingyuan everywhere and doing nothing, but in fact, it is just an excuse to hide people's ears.

Each shop in Sheng Qingyuan has a place for her to rest, and the resting room is first-class in terms of sound insulation and blocking the view, and many people are arranged nearby to guard it.

Shen Zhao met his people in these places, methodically ordering what he needed to do.

Sheng Qingyuan had a rough idea of how much he had done, but he didn't ask in detail, so she wasn't surprised that Shen Zhao had just said that she could take out a well-known killer organization.

As soon as Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao arrived in Qingcheng, the prefect of Qingcheng sent a general judge to pick them up.

The general judge said to the two of them with an apologetic face: "Please also forgive the princess and princess, there have been a lot of things in Qingcheng recently, so our lord has been busy dealing with these things, and I really can't spare the time to greet the prince and the princess, and please forgive the princess."

Sheng Qingyuan said lightly: "It's okay, we didn't come here to do anything, we just heard that the food in Qingcheng is delicious, and then take a look at the bamboo forest outside the city, let's just walk around by ourselves."

When the judge heard this, he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better for the prince and princess to go to the place where they live with the lower officials, and when the adults are done, they will definitely come to see the princess and princess."

"No need, we have already arranged a residence, since your yamen is so busy, we won't bother you, you can continue to be busy." Sheng Qingyuan said with a shallow smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, then the official will go to work first." After saying that, the general judge left.

Looking at the back of the general judge leaving, Sheng Qingyuan chuckled lightly, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "A prefect, a general judgment, this frame is not small."

The general judgment just now seemed to have been saying good things, but Sheng Qingyuan could clearly feel his contempt for her.

Shen Zhao said lightly: "Such a person is only afraid that he will not necessarily be a person who does things well for the people."

If it is not for the people, then there is no need for such officials to exist.

Sheng Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

went to the place where he was temporarily staying, and Shen Zhao handed over the matter to Xuan Yi to arrange.

When he returned to the prefect's yamen, he ran to the back as soon as possible, and said to the prefect with a flattering smile, "My lord."

The prefect was lying on the chaise longue, and the maids next to him, one fanned him, two hammered his legs, and the other brought the peeled oranges to his mouth.

"See someone?" The prefect asked nonchalantly with his eyes closed.

"I've seen it, I'm going to take a look, and I'll come back and tell you." The judge said with a flattering smile.

The prefect opened his eyes, glanced at him lightly, and said, "That's the prince and princess, you just took a look and left, aren't you afraid that these two will join you after they return to the capital?"

Tong Juan said with a nonchalant face: "Hey, he is the prince, but none of us know, that is a prince who has no real power, and the princess, to put it nicely, it is Princess Jing, to say it is not good, isn't that a wild girl from the countryside?" Wow, don't take it personally."

"You're not a little daring." The prefect said meaningfully.

The general judge said, "Then the prince who has no real power is not a lower official."

Then he said confidently: "Moreover, even if they have any dissatisfaction, but the lower official has already greeted them as soon as possible, and the number of gifts that should be given has been given, and the lower official left because the lower official still has to be busy, so he can't delay the affairs of the people for the sake of the two of them, right? If so, it should be the king of Tajing who should be referenced."

The prefect slowly sat up straight, and the general judge hurriedly helped him.

The prefect glanced at him, and said with satisfaction: "Well, even if you are still clever, these two, Your Majesty does not want to see you, if we rush to get up, it will be asking for trouble."

"Teach your subordinates!" The general judge hurriedly said with a smile.

The prefect thought for a moment and said, "Send a few people to watch them, so that they don't fall into the charge of poor service."

By the way, let's see if they are just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and when the time comes, I can explain to Lord Zuo."

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it."

After the order, the prefect lay down again, and let the maids continue to serve him.

What is Raush Zijing Wang Ye Jing Princess, what are you doing here, disturbing him to enjoy life, annoying.

The two of them didn't know that these words fell into the ears of Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao when they turned their heads.

Listening to Xuan Yu's words to the two, Shen Zhao's face was cold: "I don't know, it turns out that a prefect can be so leisurely."

Yu Ying chuckled lightly and said sarcastically, "Isn't it? than all of us will enjoy life."

"But whether the people of Qingcheng think so or not, it's impossible to say." Shen Zhao's eyes said coldly.

After a while, Xuan Yi came back, handed over the information he had found before to Shen Zhao, and said, "Lord Wang, this is the current situation of the people of Qingcheng."

Shen Zhao took the information and glanced at it, and the aura around him became more and more cold: "But he is really a good parent."

Sheng Qingyuan also glanced at it, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

Qingcheng is not too peaceful, from time to time there are some thieves harassing the people, but the officers and soldiers of Qingcheng and the officials, none of them can catch the thief, and they can finally catch it once, which means that they will be released after beating a few boards.

The people who were let out hated the people who reported them, so they took even more crazy revenge, so that when the people were stolen again, they would not dare to report to the officials again.

In addition, Qingcheng's taxes are higher than those in other places.

Some people have also asked about taxation, and even tried to go to the capital to report the matter to a higher level of yamen.

But as a result, there were no accidents, no success, and the people who went to report it are said to have never appeared in Qingcheng again.

Whether he went somewhere else after leaving the capital, or whether there was an accident, is unknown.

In general, the people of Qingcheng are not living well, but everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak.

"Since they dare not speak, give them a little courage." Shen Zhao said calmly.

"Yes." It should rain.

Sheng Qingyuan looked at the piece of paper, took a deep breath, tried to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said to Shen Zhao: "Go out for a walk, take a look, so that you can better understand the current situation in Qingcheng."

"Hmm."

Sheng Qingyuan glanced at their clothes and said, "I have to change into a more ordinary clothes."

Then he said to Xuan Yu, "Take someone to keep an eye on the prefect's side, and if anyone wants to get close to reveal our identity, find a way to lure them away." c

"Yes."

The two changed into ordinary clothes, and then they wandered around, pretending to be an ordinary couple from other places to play.

Looking at it on the main street, Qingcheng is thriving, and there are many people in every shop.

It's just that when these people went to the shop, their expressions were very flat.

Looking at ...... It's like you've received some kind of task, so be sure to go into the shop and take a walk.

Sheng Qingyuan didn't choose a relatively large restaurant, but chose a small stall at the mouth of an alley, sat down with Shen Zhao, and asked him, "Little Er, what are you more delicious here?"

Xiao Er said, "Do you want to eat lo mein?"

Sheng Qingyuan smiled gently and said, "Then bother to have two bowls of lo mein."

"Okay! Wait a minute, officer." Xiao Er said happily.

Two nights of hot lo mein, quickly ready, the ingredients in it are very sufficient, and the taste is quite good.

When he paid after eating, Sheng Qingyuan was a little surprised when he heard the fairly low price: "Two bowls of such a big bowl of lo mein, it's so cheap?"

Looking around again, no one came to this stall, and asked curiously, "It's so delicious, and it's so cost-effective, why aren't there any?"

The owner of the stall walks

came over, and said helplessly: "No matter how cheap the outside is, it can't compare to the cooking at home, and now the big guy has no spare money on hand."

As he spoke, the boss let out a long sigh.

Shen looked at the bustling main street outside, and asked suspiciously, "But we just came from the main street, and we passed by a few restaurants that were quite well decorated, and there were a lot of people inside, don't people in the city like to eat noodles?"

Xiao Erxin said bluntly: "If you can, where are those people willing to go, this is the government's request."

"Ahh The boss frowned and scolded.

Xiao Er pursed his lips and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Originally, everyone didn't have much money in their hands, but they had to be forcibly asked to go to those restaurants to eat, and a meal in those places was enough for half a month's food money for the family."

Shen Zhao continued to ask, "Why does the government have to ask the people in the city to eat in those restaurants?"

The boss said, "Hey, two guest officers, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, it's not like this."

The boss tried hard to give Xiao Er a look, but Xiao Er had already held back his dissatisfaction: "Even if you stare at me again, I will say that they dare to do it, are you still afraid of people saying it?"

"You ......"

Xiao Er continued: "I heard that there will be two nobles from the capital in the past few days, so in order to make these two nobles look like, I can only pretend to be a very lively appearance."

"Does that make any sense?" Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.

"You see, if Qingcheng is as deserted everywhere as this alley, then what will those two nobles from the capital think of our prefect, so for the sake of the black gauze hat on his head, he can only do these superficial efforts."

"Ah! That's enough, hurry back." The boss scolded, and then said apologetically to Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao: "Two guest officers, I'm really embarrassed, he is a child's heart, easy to listen to the wind and rain, some rumors spread everywhere, he will take it seriously, the two guest officers must not take it to heart."

Sheng Qingyuan smiled faintly and said, "No, I think this little brother is just straightforward."

Xiao Er couldn't help but emphasize, "What I said is the truth."

"That's enough, go back!" The boss scolded again.

Then, the boss said to them with apologies: "Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, I still have some things at home, so I can't keep two guest officers."

"We're interrupting." Shen Zhao said lightly.

He put down the silver taels on the table and left the stall.

"Uncle, why don't you let me continue?!" Xiao Er said very dissatisfied.

The boss glared at him, "Do you know who the other person is? You go on, you know what you're talking about? If the prefect hears it, you'll wait to go in and squat in that prison!"

Xiao Er said angrily, "I'm not talking nonsense, this is something that the whole Qingcheng knows."

Although he was not angry, his voice was still much quieter, and he was obviously afraid.
