The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"There are some things that need to be dealt with. You stay here and take care of Ping An and Qinghe." Zhao Chen nodded.

He didn't tell Li Ruoshuang that he was going to Ma Zhiqing's house to find the letter he left behind.

Even if Li Ruoshuang knew about this, she was just worried here.

Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen and knew that he was hiding something from her. Although she was worried, she still didn't say anything.

Just said: "Then please pay attention to safety, we are here waiting for you to come back."

"Goodbye, dad." Ping An said to Zhao Chen.

"Brother, come back soon." Princess Qinghe also said.

"Goodbye Ping An, stay here and sleep well." Zhao Chen nodded and waved to Ping An.

After leaving the door and walking downstairs, the innkeeper was still lying on the counter settling accounts.

"Housekeeper, do you have any fun places here?" Zhao Chen asked the innkeeper with a smile.

The innkeeper was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Zhao Chen. Thinking about Zhao Chen's question just now, he smiled and said, "What kind of place do you want to go, sir?"

"I heard that Qixian County is a wonderful place. I've wanted to see it for a long time. Could the shopkeeper give me some directions?" Zhao Chen lowered his voice and said with a smile.

The innkeeper nodded, with a look on his face that every man could understand.

"Go out and walk along the street to the left, pass the county government office, and then walk a little further north and you'll be there."

"But sir, didn't you just bring..."

"Hey, the fragrance at home is not as good as outside." Zhao Chen interrupted the innkeeper with a smile.

"By the way, shopkeeper, there won't be any government officials arresting people in that place, right? If I were arrested as soon as I arrived, would my wife have to eat me alive?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"No, all the elders from the yamen will also go. Every day, except for a few elders on duty, there is no one in the yamen at all."

"As long as you don't offend those uncles there, you'll be fine."

"Besides, even if something happens, no one in the yamen will care about it."

"You can't catch yourself." The innkeeper said with a smile.

"That's good, then I'll leave first and come back later today. Don't let the shopkeeper tell me anything." Zhao Chen told the innkeeper.

"Don't worry, we all understand." The innkeeper nodded.

Walking out of the inn with a happy face, Zhao Chen walked along the street to the left.

After taking a few steps, the smile on Zhao Chen's face disappeared.

He didn't really want to go to the place of fireworks.

Zhao Chen just wanted to find this excuse to inquire about the situation of Qixian County Yamen.

That's why I asked if there would be any officials from the government office going to investigate the fireworks place.

Unexpectedly, I made an unexpected discovery from the mouth of the innkeeper.

Qixian county government is very impressive.

But in the final analysis, this is the governor's office of Qizhou, and the real county government of Qi County is in another direction.

However, due to the strong force of Qizhou Governor Ma Zhiyuan, the Qixian county government almost did not exist in the hearts of the people.

Over time, when people here mentioned the Qixian County Government, the first thing they thought of was the Qizhou Governor's Mansion.

Not long after walking on the street, Zhao Chen saw the imposing Qizhou Governor's Mansion.

Two soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion were on both sides, responsible for guarding the safety of the Qizhou Dudu Mansion.

Zhao Chen just glanced at it, and then looked away.

Along the street, around the Qizhou Dudu Mansion.

The Qizhou Governor's Mansion faces south, and the place Zhao Chen was facing before is the north.

The east courtyard that Ma Zhiqing mentioned is on the right side of the Qizhou Governor's Mansion.

However, the courtyard wall on the east side is close to the residential houses on the side, and there is no road in the middle.

This also means that Zhao Chen cannot directly

Take it to the east side.

If you pass through a residential building, the probability of being discovered is much higher.

"Hey, sir, have we met before?" Zhao Chen was sitting on a rock to rest, and suddenly someone stopped in front of him.

Zhao Chen looked up, but had no impression of the person in front of him.

"Is the young master from Chang'an?" The visitor asked Zhao Chen again.

"I am from Wannian County, which is not actually Chang'an." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

But he began to wonder in his heart whether this person had seen him in Chang'an before.

"That means Chang'an." The visitor smiled.

"The young master's face looks so familiar. I always feel that I have met the young master before, but I can't remember it."

"It's very strange." The visitor stared at Zhao Chen's face again and said.

"Perhaps I look a lot like someone, which made you mistakenly think that we have met each other."

"There are thousands of people in this world, and there are always people with similar looks." Zhao Chen said, looking at the person in front of him with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Right."

"Since the young master is from Wannian County, why do you come here?" The visitor asked Zhao Chen again.

"Hey, don't you want to go to Lu Di? I passed by here and heard that Qixian County is very interesting, so I wanted to experience it."

"My legs are a little sore after walking here. Sit down and take a rest."

"Since you are destined to me, why don't I invite you to have a taste later?" Zhao Chen explained, and then extended an invitation to the person in front of him.

A trace of disdain flashed in the visitor's eyes, but he said: "I see, but I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. I'll take my leave now."

After that, the visitor turned around and left.

Zhao Chen didn't say anything, just sat there, with a sneer on his lowered face.

…

"That kid is here to have fun.

, tired from walking, sit here to rest. "

At a corner, the man who had just spoken to Zhao Chen was standing here now.

In front of the man, there was another person.

"In this case, I thought it was a big fish from Chang'an."

"Yesterday, Mr. Chang Shi sent news that Chang'an has probably sent people to sneak into Qi County, telling them to be careful." Another person nodded and said Lu Yifa's order.

"Don't worry, Chang'an is so far away from Qixian County. Even if someone comes from Chang'an, it won't be that fast."

"If it weren't for something else, that guy just asked me to come and play. Oh, what a pity." The man sighed.

Who wouldn’t want to go to a place like that for free?

If nothing happened, he would really go!

"Okay, let's get down to business. If something happens, we won't even be alive by then, let alone those things." Another person said.

The two said a few more words before disappearing around the corner.

…

When someone came to ask Zhao Chen what he was doing in Qixian County, Zhao Chen had already come to his senses.

If he really cared about whether he was the person he knew, why would he ask what he was here for?

The only explanation is that the man was just testing himself.

Today's Qixian County is obviously full of people arranged by Ma Zhiyuan.

What Zhao Chen didn't know was that others knew that he was not in Chang'an.

After walking around the street twice more, the sky gradually darkened.

After finding an inn and having a simple meal, Zhao Chen appeared on the street again.

There are basically no people on the streets anymore.

Qixian County stipulates that a curfew will be implemented during Youshi.

Anyone who dares to take to the streets during the curfew will be severely punished if caught.

The punishment may range from a fine to a severe penalty of imprisonment.
