But with Xu Changqing's status, there must be no problem.

But he really lived in the outer city where ordinary people settled.

Compared with the inner city, whether it is the environment or other, the outer city is much worse than the inner city.

Xu Changqing's home is not big, just next to the street not far from the inner city to the outer city.

Looking up at the house with the Xu Mansion plaque hanging in front of him, the open main door, and the sound of women crying from inside, Li Chen signaled Sanbao to accompany him, and the others were waiting outside, and then walked in.

The small courtyard looks very poor and simple, with almost no decorations and decorations. Some of the items that should be used by ordinary families, and they are all older.

There were not many servants in the mansion. Li Chen walked in for a long time before a hunchbacked butler, who was in his fifties and sixties and looked extremely old, came over.

Seeing that Li Chen is very dignified, this old housekeeper dared not neglect even though he was a stranger. He asked politely: "Is there something wrong with this young master?"

Li Chen asked, "This is Lord Xu's mansion?"

The butler looked dark and nodded and said, "If the young master asked Mr. Xu Changqing what he said, that's it, but my master is in trouble and his family has been confiscated. Please come back."

Li Chen didn't say anything, and Sanbao next to him stood up and said, "My young master and your master are old acquaintances. When you pass by here, you come to see it. You are not asking your master for your business."

The old butler sighed and said with a wry smile: "You two have seen the decline in my house. I have seen anything else to see. Please go back."

Li Chen ignored him and asked, "Mr. Xu is also the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Why is the official who is a fourth-rank official from the court who is not living in the inner city? This mansion is so old?"

The old butler heard this and said, "Inner City? The inner city is a rich man. My master is never greedy for the public. Naturally, he has no money to buy a house in the inner city. Even the mansion is now, but my wife has sold her dowry and saved over the years, so she barely bought it."

Li Chen nodded, and his senses towards Xu Changqing were much better.

At this moment, the old housekeeper said again: "In this world, only corrupt officials can be promoted and made a fortune. A good official like my master cannot even eat a better meal during festivals. That's all, but now he is still in prison, so he shouldn't be a clean official."

When Sanbao heard this, he immediately shouted, "What do you servant know? According to what you said, is your master who is dedicated to being an honest official, isn't he wrong?"

The old housekeeper said sadly and angrily: "It's right, can't you see it? Those corrupt officials are all fat and buy industries from other places. Even if the incident happens, they can become rich people even if they are dismissed from the official position. The worst is the worst. The descendants of descendants can always have food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but what is left of my master?"

"The people from the Ministry of Justice came to the door and searched the house without saying a word. After that, they even scolded my house for not having any good fortune and let them go for nothing!"

"Is this the end of being a clean official?"

Sanbao was actually speechless by an old housekeeper.

While talking, a young man came out from inside. He heard the sound of talking outside. After seeing two strangers, Li Chen and Sanbao, he frowned and asked, "Uncle Zhang, who are these two?"

The housekeeper replied: "This young man said he was acquaintance of the master, so he came to take a look when he passed by."
