After a while,

The man shook his fan and spoke leisurely,

"Do you have any evidence of his guilt, such as account books?"

Xue Bin shook his head, "No, he is cautious and always uses special contact methods. I once sneaked into his mansion but couldn't find him.

However, I know that there is a person named Wang Laowu who has been buying goods from them. I originally wanted to bribe this person, but was rejected, so I took this trick out of desperation."

"Xue Bin, up to now you have always been one-sided, right?" Qi Anze said calmly.

The man immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, there are many capable people around you. Please have mercy on the people of Haicheng, Your Highness."

…

When only Qi Anze and Qiao Xi were left in the room, the man slowly asked, "Do you think this is true or false?"

Qiao Xi: "..." People have said it so clearly, is it true or not?

"How about I go follow the Wang Laowu he mentioned?" Qiao Xi asked tentatively.

"No need, I've already sent someone to follow you."

Looking at the man returning to the room alone, Qiao Xi rubbed his face and comforted himself,

"The experience points for this task have been paid in advance. You must complete the task and reduce the host's blackening value."

——

Governor's Palace,

"Has everything been taken care of?" An old man wearing a gray robe sat on the upper position, showing no anger or authority.

"Sir, everything has been taken care of. They can't find any problems with us."

The old man nodded, "Let's go and take our Prince to his house. What's the point of hanging out with some fishermen all day long?"

The clever men immediately stepped forward to help,

"Xiaoguan has arranged for His Royal Highness to live in the Star Observation Tower opposite. Not only can you taste the delicious food of Haicheng, but you can also watch the stars at night. It is very beautiful."

"Well, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince brought a woman with him to Haicheng this time, and he was very happy to take care of her."

Haicheng Supervisor Jiang Yuanda, who had been leaning forward, bent even lower when he heard these words, "Thank you, sir, for your advice."

…

…

"Haicheng Governor Tong Mile meets His Highness the Crown Prince, and may His Highness be blessed and safe."

Qi Anze stood up and personally helped the person up and then directed the girl next to him,

"Governor Tong, please get up, Qiao Xi, and show Mr. Tong some tea."

Qiao Xi had a cold, beautiful face with a look of reluctance.

"If you don't want to stay here, go out."

Qiao Xi glanced at the old man who was drinking tea with his head down, then twisted his waist and left the room.

Seeing the two people who were obviously at odds, the officials present could only pretend not to notice, and they all looked down at the ground.

"...Your Highness, I have something to report." Governor Tong leaned forward.

"Mr. Tong, let's call me Aze, just like when I was a child." Qi Anze withdrew his gaze with a respectful look.

"Hey, I don't dare take it seriously. I just told you some new things at the seaside." Governor Tong waved his hands repeatedly, but there was a proud look on his face.

"Ever since I heard what you said, I have always wanted to come and see this sea city, but I couldn't get the time. This time I came because I heard that an imperial envoy was coming and asked my father to come."

Qi Anze pretended not to notice that his behavior was strange, and then asked, "What did you want to report to me just now?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just that the people selling illegal salt have come out again recently. I don't know how to deal with it."

"Just deal with it how you dealt with it before."

The man took a leisurely sip of tea before speaking, "Teacher, let's wait and deal with it this time. We still have to wait for the imperial envoy to make a decision."

Seeing that everyone present had different expressions, he slowly tasted the delicious food.

But I was thinking that I would pack another one later, otherwise the people going to work would be distracted again.

The others watched His Highness the Crown Prince eating with the corners of his mouth raised, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But who could the Imperial Envoy be if he were not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

After eating and drinking, Qi Anze quietly whispered in Governor Tong's ear, "Someone has taken ginseng, teacher."

Governor Tong opened his small eyes as wide as possible. Just as he was about to speak to defend himself, the man shook his head.

He raised his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Are these all the teacher's disciples?"

Governor Tong immediately looked at the man with surprise on his face, "They are all, please give me your orders."

Unexpectedly, the man yawned and said, "I'm tired, please leave." He got up and went into the back room, leaving a room full of people looking at each other.

Governor Tong thought for a moment, waved his hand, and left.

But he didn't dare to leave directly. After looking around and seeing no one around, he ordered the people next to him to do something.

But Qiao Xi, who had clearly gone out just now, was leisurely eating candied fruit on the roof.

"You, go and write a letter to your noble lord, saying that you have seen His Highness the Crown Prince but not the Imperial Envoy, and ask him to go and inquire about it."

"You, go and ask those people to stop working, and wait until the news on this side is confirmed."

After everyone else had taken the order and left, Jiang Yuanda asked, "Sir, what did the Crown Prince mean just now?"

Now that there were only two of them in the courtyard, he dared to ask the questions in his heart this time.

"Your Highness must have discovered something, but for some reason he did not tell the imperial envoy who was traveling with him..."

Listening to the speculations of the people below, Qiao Xi couldn't help but admire his host. He was so capable of using tactics and deceit.

Otherwise, with this old man's virtue, I don't know how long he would have to go around with them.

After hearing enough, he stood up and left.

On the bustling street, looking at the increasingly prosperous place ahead, Qiao Xi looked puzzled.

Didn't the host say that there is a salt mine? How could the salt mine be here... Zuichun Tower?

You are so nervous, why does this person come to drink flower wine?

She put her hands on her hips and looked at the bustling brothel. She found a step that was convenient for observation and sat on it.

…

Looking at the stars in the sky, Qiao Xi looked at the five people dressed in the same clothes who came out of Zuichun Tower one after another, and blinked helplessly.

He took out the mouthpiece from his arms and blew on it twice, then stood up and entered the teahouse opposite the brothel.

After just a cup of tea, the five of them hurried back to the brothel. She looked at the notes in front of them and unfolded them one by one.

He said to himself, "Are you really in a brothel?"

Glancing at the plainclothes guards downstairs, in order to ensure that no one was discovered, she changed into a set of men's clothes, brought a fragrance repellent pill from the space, and blended in.

…

"Sir, this is the backyard and you are not allowed to enter." The old bustard stopped the man and laughed with him.

"How could that person get in just now? I can't. Do you think I have no money? I tell you that I have plenty of money."

Qiao Xi deliberately took out the piece of gold from his pocket and waved it in front of the madam's eyes.
