Zhu Gaoxuan had an innocent look on his face.

"I just think that Governor Chen is an old man after all, and he also fought on the battlefield with his father at the beginning, and has made countless achievements. So, I need to pay a visit. But I don't know Governor Chen well after all, so I need Grandpa Seven to go with me. ”

The Seventh Prince habitually stroked his goatee and smiled.

"This king is old and doesn't like to be lively, so you better go alone."

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head.

"We haven't eaten or drunk well here for a while, but Grandpa Seventh has lost a lot of weight. I heard that Xiangbei is very prosperous, and there are all kinds of snacks, which taste very good. Especially their sorghum wine, which is a must......"

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment.

"According to what you say, Lao Wang really should go with you. Sooner rather than later, let's go now. ”

The best thing in the old prince's life is wine.

But in this poor country, the most scarce thing is wine.

He hadn't had a good mouth for a long time, and he was glad to hear it.

The two men left the station directly.

Because they didn't want to attract attention because of the large number of people, they only brought four followers with them.

Everyone was dressed in casual clothes, giving the impression of a businessman.

Two men rode ahead on horseback.

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but speak.

"Looks like I'm going to make a trip to the troubled waters. But are you sure that the two of us can get rid of that Governor Chen in the past? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded.

"I think as long as Grandpa Seven is here, there will be no people and things that can't be handled."

The Seventh Prince, who was buttoned up with a high hat, didn't seem to eat him much.

"Your seventh grandfather and I have nothing to do with this surnamed Chen, and I'm already old, I'm afraid people may not give me face."

Although Governor Chen is only a governor, he can be regarded as a feudal official, and he also has many forces in the court, and the key is that he still holds great power.

It is true that he may not give face to the Seventh Prince.

Zhu Gaoxuan looked confident.

"Seventh Grandpa, don't worry, as long as I am here, we will not miss."

The two of them soon arrived in Xiangbei City.

It is indeed a different scene here, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the street business is prosperous, and even the clothes they wear are much more elaborate than those near Nanguan.

Many of them also wore silk and satin, which was extremely luxurious.

In contrast, they were a little shabby in coarse linen clothes.

The Seventh Prince took the lead in entering a restaurant.

Along the way, they didn't eat or drink well, and the first thing they did was, of course, to beat their teeth and get over their addiction to alcohol.

As soon as they entered the door, Xiao Er immediately greeted them.

"Two guest officers, it's not a coincidence, the private room is fully booked, and the two of you can only go downstairs."

This restaurant is very large in area, and the decoration is also very luxurious, and you can see an endless stream of customers coming in and out outside, which shows that the usual business is very good.

And it's a meal at this time, so it's not surprising that you can't get a private room.

The two of them didn't care, and chose a corner by the window to sit.

The Seventh Prince took the menu handed to him by Xiao Er.

"A jar of good sorghum wine, in addition, two elbows, a tripe, a steamed fish to be the largest, another beef tendon, two lion's heads, plus a meatball, and a steamed chicken, braised goose......

There were six of them.

Usually you can't eat that much.

So the little two were dumbfounded when they ordered food.

Then when the Seventh Prince finally returned the menu to him, he smiled and spoke.

"Do you have any other friends who want to come? So many dishes, enough for a dozen people to eat. ”

The Seventh Prince waved his hand.

"Let you serve the food, you can hurry up, we are all hungry. So much nonsense because we are worried that we will not be able to pay for food. ”

That Xiao Er really has such worries......

Because he saw that the clothes on their bodies were very ordinary.

However, he did not dare to say this.

He had a smile on his face.

"Whereever, I'll go and get the kitchen to serve the food right away. A few people waited for a moment. ”

Xiao Er left in a hurry.

Only then did the Seventh Prince look out of the window.

The back window of the restaurant is facing the governor's yamen, which is quiet outside, with only occasional people entering and exiting, and they need to be checked by the soldiers guarding the door.

It seems that this Lord Chen has managed his subordinates well.

Zhu Gaoxuan also squinted and looked out the window.

"How does Lord Chen's mansion compare to the prince's mansion?"

The Seventh Prince was stunned when he asked.

"It's pretty much the same. But the Doge's Mansion was more spacious than the King's Residence. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded, and his right index finger tapped the table with it intentionally or unintentionally.

"A governor's palace, but the level of luxury is comparable to that of a royal palace, this is a bit inappropriate."

The Ming Dynasty, which had a strict hierarchy, also had very strict requirements for the construction of civil and military officials' mansions.

But most of them are aimed at officials in the DPRK and China.

Scattered local officials are not subject to this constraint.

After all, the emperor of Shandong is far away.

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment.

"Do you want to make a fuss about the Doge's Palace? There's no need for this, even the emperor turns a blind eye, why should we bother with this. ”

Xiao Er served two dishes at this time.

Zhu Gaoxuan raised his hand and signaled to his subordinates to reward him with a piece of silver.

When Xiao Er's eyes opened, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he bent lower and lower.

"Thank you, the guest officer, if you have any orders, please open your mouth. As long as I can do it, I'll do my best. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks, and took a piece of meat to his mouth.

"We are merchants passing through here, so I want to know some things about this area, whether it is anecdotes or special snacks, I want to hear about them."

Xiao Er is usually in the store, and he has a lot of contact with people and things, so he is naturally clear about local things.

Then he began to talk about it.

"If you want to talk about the snacks we have here, it's really varied. Stinky tofu, grilled fish rolls, and pancake rolls with green onions all have their own characteristics. ”

"And the girls in our drunken fairy building here are all beautiful, especially the top-brand Mingchuan girl, not long after she came over, she is already known to all the celebrities......"

"It's just that this girl is not seen by all guests, and she must be able to match the verses before she can kiss Fangze."

"Oh yes, don't you want to hear strange things? But there is another one, which is related to the governor's palace. ”

When he said this, Xiao Er paused.

Then he looked around, then out of the window, and then lowered his voice.

"Just last night, the concubine of our Governor was abducted and run......"
