Shen Shangshu didn't look at the gratitude on the face of Prefect Chen.

Because he has already dug a hole.

He was afraid that if he squinted, he would be disturbed by that stupid and clear gaze.

At that time, what if his heart softens and he can't bear to cheat him?
The second prince closed his eyes, and managed to let go of his tone: "Lord Shen is right. Prefect Chen has been rooted in Yangzhou for many years. He must know more about the situation in Yangzhou City than we do."

Chen Shuo nodded again and again: "Yes, Second Highness! If you have anything you want to know, feel free to ask the lower official, and the lower official will definitely know everything and talk endlessly!"

The meaning of what he said was that it was fine to talk and use your mouth, but it was not good to ask him to do something.

Of course, when speaking for an official, what you pay attention to is nine bends and eighteen bends, and you don't say anything clearly, just have a little meaning.

The second prince is too lazy to think about the meanings of his words, but he is also an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years. Can Shen Shangshu not know the meanings of Chen Shuo's words?

Shen Shangshu sneered in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face. Instead, he turned to look at Chen Shuo, and even cupped his hands: "Prefect Chen, since you have said so, I really want to know something, let's come After these many days, I only know that the Yang family is powerful, but I don’t know anything else about it, so I don’t know if I can bother Chen Zhifu to tell us in detail?”

They did check, but the things they found were very superficial. Anyone who lives in Yangzhou City will know sooner or later. So, at most, they now have a general framework in their minds, so they won't be fooled by others I don't know yet, if I really want to know some secret things, I still have to rely on Chen Zhifu.

Hearing Shen Shangshu's words, Chen Shuo's face instantly collapsed.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, but that the matter of the Yang family, if you really want to talk about it, you can talk about it for a few days and nights!

If you really want to talk about it for a few days and nights, his voice might be used as a fire.

When the second prince saw his appearance, the anger in his heart was faint and he couldn't suppress it: "Prefect Chen, didn't you just say that you know everything and talk endlessly?"

What does it mean to have a dead face in the blink of an eye?
Chen Shuo was watched closely by the second prince, and he didn't even dare to find someone to speak for him, so he cupped his hands honestly and said: "Going back to the second highness, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's because the Yang family has been here for several years , the tree is big and deeply rooted, there are too many things related to Yangzhou, it may take a while, and I may not be able to finish it..."

"Don't worry, just speak slowly." The second prince took a sip of tea, "take a pen and ink, and write down every word and every sentence that Prefect Chen will say next, and don't be negligent."

"Yes!" The young people who had brought Chen Shuo over cupped their hands one after another. Then, those who took the brush and ink took the brush and ink, those who poured the tea poured the tea, and the rest directly set the table.

Seeing their well-organized appearance, the second prince couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

These young people are very smart.

Shen Shangshu helped his forehead silently.

Boys, there is nothing they can't join in any kind of lively event!
Among such a group of people with nimble hands and feet, Jing Xing's figure seemed particularly abrupt.

It was so sudden that Chen Shuo couldn't help but look at him several times, thinking that this person is like a log.

Shen Shangshu noticed Chen Shuo's eyes, and said with a smile: "This is Jinke Tanhualang, and also the son of Jingxiang, a young hero."

Hearing this, Chen Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and the slight dislike in his eyes disappeared immediately, and then replaced with a little appreciation.

So calm and unmoving like a mountain, how can such an aura be possessed by ordinary people?

It turned out to be the son of the right minister!

It really is a tiger father without dog son!

Jing Xing cupped his hands, said a few words modestly, and then his eyes fell on the Second Prince for a moment.

The second prince was slightly taken aback.

He intuitively felt that something was wrong with Jing Xing.

So the second prince nodded slightly and left first.

The whereabouts of the second prince, everyone naturally did not dare to control, they just respectfully handed each other off.

After a while, Jing Xing whispered a few words to Shen Shangshu, and then left.

The strange thing was that Shen Shangshu looked at Jing Xing's figure, not only did he not show any displeasure on his face, he even showed some appreciation.

His eyes kept falling on Jing Xing, seeing him go up the stairs and disappear, so he withdrew his eyes.

At this moment, the young people have prepared their pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and are waiting for Chen Shuo to drink his tea before they can start recording.

-

Jing Xing stood in front of the door of the Second Prince's guest room and knocked twice.

Hearing "Come in" from inside, Jing Xing stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

The second prince stood in front of the window, looking down at the scenery outside the window.

This inn is located on the edge of the government office, and the surroundings are naturally quite quiet, surrounded by gardens, very elegant.

As soon as Jing Xing came in, the second prince turned around and sat down in front of the tea table with a flick of his sleeves: "What do you want to say, Mr. Jing?"

Jing Xing bowed his hands and saluted, the second prince didn't say let him sit, so he stood by the door and didn't take a step inside: "The lower official just suddenly remembered that we have not checked the roster of the Yangzhou government when we came here. "

"Roster?" The second prince frowned slightly.

Jing Xing cupped his hands again and said "Yes".

The second prince frowned, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, Jing Xing was not in a hurry, and still stood aside with his hands in his hands.

"Why do you want to check the roster?" the second prince asked.

It is reasonable to say that the first thing to do is to check the various rosters of the government when the important officials of the court lead the team to the place. This is a rule, but the local government usually has a lot of rosters, it takes time to check, and it is not very helpful, so Over time, this incident was treated as a formality, and it was just a show.

But this time, when Shen Shangshu came here, he didn't even put on a show.

Since this matter was specifically brought up by Jing Xing, it was obvious that Jing Xing was not planning to just put on a show.

Jing Xing cupped his hands and said: "Back to Second Highness, the lower official got the news in the marketplace that there is a member of the Yang family who works in the government, but the Yang family kept this matter under wraps, the lower official didn't know about it Who is the name of the person, and what position they hold, so I thought about starting from the verification list."

Hearing this, the second prince twitched his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and started to make tea: "Sit down."

Jing Xing pursed his lips, walked to the other side of the coffee table and sat down.

The second prince didn't speak anymore, he just focused on making tea.

Jing Xing also didn't speak.

The second prince slowly made tea, and first poured a cup for Jing Xing: "How can the news in the market be trusted?"

"The subordinate thinks it's worth a try." And his news is much more reliable than Chu Chu's.

The person must be in the government, and it depends on whether they can find him.

The second prince raised his eyes and glanced at him, and gave a soft "hmm".
