Chapter 163 People in the Boat

When the Qing Gang people left, a small boat appeared not far away.

Although it is a small boat, it is not that ordinary. It is exquisitely made and the wood is expensive.

Moreover, there are two guards on the ship, standing at the bow and stern of the ship. They are obviously not ordinary guards, at least they are first-class experts.

"Coming!"

Shen Xiao just glanced at the guard and probably knew that Ji Chuyun and the imperial envoy were coming.

In Shen Xiao's mind, Ji Chuyun should be the imperial envoy who came to deal with Zheng Guoqing this time, but unfortunately, Shen Xiao guessed wrong. Ji Chuyun came here in cooperation with the imperial envoy.

Obviously the Ji family does not want this matter to turn into a conflict between the Ji family and the Zheng family. Even if the Zheng family does not want to help Zheng Guoqing, they still have to show their ability on the surface.

As for these guards, they are probably some high-level guards sent by the Qinglong Order.

"Shen Xiao! This is the Minister of Civil Affairs, Changsun Hongchang, Lord Changsun, the chief official this time!"

After the ship docked, Ji Chuyun followed an old man in green clothes and walked out of the ship, introducing the imperial envoy to Shen Xiao.

The imperial envoy was a little thin, and he looked featureless, rather ordinary, and seemed kind-hearted.

It only has a pair of triangular eyes, which looks very unique. When Changsun Hongchang stares at it, it is like a sharp knife piercing his body.

Shen Xiao and the eldest son Hongchang looked at each other, and both felt that they had been seen through. As the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, he needed to evaluate hundreds of officials, so it was not surprising to have such a look.

"I'm afraid this is Mr. Shen. The old eldest son, Hongchang, once taught in the Hanlin Academy. This time, I would like to ask Mr. Shen to call him Mr. eldest grandson!"

The eldest son Hongchang was smiling but not smiling. This was not to give face to Shen Xiao, but to give face to Ji Chuyun. Although the eldest son Hongchang came here this time, although he had no clear purpose, Ji Chuyun followed and the people of the Qinglong Order followed. Obviously It is to deal with Zheng Guoqing.

Therefore, Changsun Hongchang would not have other considerations, nor would he want to investigate Zheng Guoqing. After all, what Zheng Guoqing did, the staff also had a private account.

If Zheng Guoqing is lucky and has not been caught, everything will be fine. But unfortunately, Ji Chuyun, Shen Xiao, and Duanmu Bufan are all dealing with Zheng Guoqing. In addition, the Zheng family does not care about Zheng Guoqing, so the eldest son Hongchang will be his replacement. The way of heaven.

Who is Shen Xiao and what he did? The eldest son Hongchang also understands the thoughts of the Ji family and Ji Chuyun, so there is no need for Ji Chuyun to say more. The eldest son Hongchang knows what to do.

"Mr. Changsun please!"

"The temporary residence has been prepared!"

Seeing how eldest son Hongchang was doing business, Shen Xiao didn't say much. Ji Chuyun came with eldest son Hongchang. It was obvious that Ji Chuyun trusted eldest son Hongchang.

As for what Ji Chuyun and Changsun Hongchang said privately, Shen Xiao did not interfere. After all, these matters had little to do with Shen Xiao in the final analysis. The connection between Ji Chuyun and Changsun Hongchang was definitely quite stable.

Otherwise, if Ji Chuyun followed the eldest son Hongchang, the two of them had not agreed, and the imperial envoy came to investigate, but it was not so clear what he wanted to do. There would be big problems with this investigation.

All parties in the capital reached an agreement that they would support Ji Chuyun, the Ji family, and the eldest son Hongchang was just a representative of the official department. The court directly intervened and prevented the Qinglong Order from executing Zheng Guoqing privately. This was clear.

"The Qinglong Order also sent people here. What happened this time is somewhat interesting..."

Shen Xiao, who was calculating the situation in Yongzhou, was not curious about Ji Chuyun's plan. Anyway, it was a certainty that Zheng Guoqing would be dealt with.

Changsun Hongchang came here, Ji Chuyun also came, and all parties were involved. It was just a big battle to deal with Zheng Guoqing, but the division of power in Yongzhou in the future was more important.

Shen Xiao had no way to interfere with this. Changsun Hongchang represented the official department, Ji Chuyun represented the Ji family, and the people from the Qinglong Order were considered to be supporting Duanmu Bufan.

The three parties wanted to find an opportunity to directly deal with Zheng Guoqing and then decide on the list of people who would be the envoys of Yongzhou. All Shen Xiao could do was to say that they knew who the other party was in advance and that the two parties had certain connections.

“Yongzhou is located in a prosperous place, it’s really good, not bad!”

Changsun Hongchang got on the carriage and looked at the scenery along the way. He couldn't help but sigh. This time when he went out with Ji Chuyun, Changsun Hongchang had no other thoughts anyway. He just thought he was blind or deaf.

It sounds like the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not low, but there are too many plans at once, and the family of the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot bear it. Ji Chuyun and Shen Xiao are all related to the Ji family. If the eldest son, Hongchang, thinks about whether he can rely on his official position , I am still a little too anxious about affecting the situation in Yongzhou.

Although Ji Chuyun was only a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, he at least had the identity of the Ji family, and he had a good relationship with Prime Minister Zuo this time. Although the eldest son Hongchang also had a backer, Ji Chuyun was involved in the Ji family's affairs. , Changsun Hongchang’s backer also didn’t want the matter to get bigger.

Only when the Ji family handles matters themselves can they be considered dignified and respectable, so as not to cause conflicts among all parties. Now that the situation has changed dramatically, everyone must be careful.

“Yongzhou’s well-developed water transportation is the real core of the imperial court.”

"This mission is heavy, thank you for your hard work, sir."

Ji Chuyun said lightly, not like an adjutant, but like a real imperial envoy. It was not that he would not give face to the eldest grandson Hongchang, but Ji Chuyun was really acting as a representative to solve the Zheng family's troubles.

Changsun Hongchang knew this in his heart before coming here, so Ji Chuyun was the one who made decisions along the way. Changsun Hongchang didn't want to interfere, he just came to see what the scenery of Yongzhou was like.

To Ji Chuyun, it was not unusual for eldest son Hongchang to do this. After all, the Zheng family and the Ji family were in chaos this time, and there was no need for others to intervene.

As for the position of Chief Envoy of Yongzhou, although the official has not yet decided who it will be, it is clear that this position belongs to Ji Chuyun, and at least it has a lot to do with the Ji family.

"It doesn't matter, if you can see such a scenery, all the hard work is nothing, not to mention that with Chuyun here and the Qinglong Order, everything is not a problem!"

Changsun Hongchang looked outside the carriage, not considering the turbulent situation in Yongzhou. After all, all of this actually had little to do with Changsun Hongchang.

The relationship between Ji Chuyun and Changsun Hongchang is good, so there is no need to continue to win over each other and keep being polite. Ji Chuyun now has the Qinglong Order, and the Ji family, plus Shen Xiao, a Yongzhou native, next The plan is definitely coming true.

For Changsun Hongchang, this imperial mission can be spent safely without any turmoil. As for other things, such as getting enough benefits from Yongzhou, Changsun Hongchang doesn't think too much about it, and there is no need to dream about it.
