Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

At the wharf of Qiantang County, a large group of elders from the Jiangnan government office were all looking at each other in blank dismay.

Looking at the several carriages going away, they couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Master Zhang, could it be that our arrangement is not good?"

The county magistrate of Qiantang County looks to be in his 40s, and with a big belly, he knows that he usually has a lot of oil and water, but now he has a sad face and a slightly dissatisfied murmur.

"Yeah, I waited for him to prepare carefully for him, but I didn't appreciate it?"

Another person couldn't help snorting angrily, this person was a magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, and he was from a big family, his face was not very good-looking.

Now the dissatisfaction is not limited to the two who just opened their mouths?

Even the governors of Yangzhou and Gusu frowned slightly, and then looked towards the governor of Lin'an.

"Master Zhang, it seems that our Highness, King Shou, has quite a temper."

"Hey, you really have a big temper. After all, you are a prince, a royal nobleman! Naturally, you look down on countrymen like you and me!"

There was something in the words of the two sheriffs, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear the dissatisfaction or even anger in their tone.

It's just that everyone clearly understands that no matter how much dissatisfaction is in their hearts, they can only be hidden. Who let the official rank crush people to death?

He is the envoy of the East China Sea, and the entire three counties in the south of the Yangtze River are under the full jurisdiction of the envoy of the East China Sea.

What's more, in addition to being a Jiedushi, he is also a prince, the son of the current emperor!
"Everyone, since His Highness is exhausted, then you and I can't bother. It's not too late to go back and wait for tomorrow."

The governor of Lin'an County is the oldest, already nearly 60 years old, and he will retire and return to his hometown in a few years, so he doesn't want to make any accidents at this juncture.

So he waved his hands with a smile, and everyone nodded their faces.

In fact, they are all sneering in their hearts.

"An old thing will be a good person!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you are about to retire and return home, who would give you this face?"

A group of people are all friendly on the surface, and there is no tension between each other.

In fact, this group of people who came here have been secretly intriguing and deceitful all these years, and they can't wait to peel each other off. However, on the bright side, the entire three counties in the south of the Yangtze River can be described as amicable.

"Since Mr. Zhang said it, I'll take my leave first!"

"Master Zhang, farewell!"

"Then wait until tomorrow to visit His Royal Highness Shou Wang!"

"Farewell to the official!"

There was a large group of people when they came, and the relationship could be seen faintly when they left. Except for a few officials and lords of Lin'an Mansion who were too embarrassed to leave, people from the other two counties got into their carriages and left.

When the people were almost gone, the Tongzhi of Lin'an Mansion asked cautiously: "My lord, at the Jiaofang Division, should I let them go back first?"

The singers and dancers in the Jiaofang Division are all outstanding, and many of them are the female relatives of criminal officials, and many of them are beautiful.

Compared with the usual places of fireworks, people criticized it, but Jiaofangsi was the only place for the group of officials to have fun.

"Let's all withdraw."

The Sheriff of Lin'an shook his head, and the people around him looked disappointed.

But they didn't say much. After all, they also knew that Prince Shou didn't enjoy himself when he first came. If they went alone to spread the word, especially to the ears of His Highness, it would not be easy to explain.

"Yes, I will arrange it now, sir."

The magistrate of Qiantang County nodded, and then left to deal with it properly.

As for the others, they don't really have much intention of having fun right now. They came to welcome Li Changshou today. Firstly, they deliberately lowered their posture to see the rumored royal nobles, and secondly, they were testing!

Let's see if His Royal Highness, who came all the way from the capital, can coexist peacefully.

The current result is obviously not as they wished.

"It's all gone."

The Sheriff of Lin'an said lightly, then got into the carriage and left.

The rest also left one after another.

It's just that many people already have other thoughts in their minds. Recalling the scene just now, they couldn't help but start to ponder and analyze.

……

"Your Highness, their expressions just now were too funny."

Inside the carriage, Lin Luoxi smiled coquettishly, she had endured so much pain just now, she almost couldn't hold back a few times, but fortunately she pinched herself fiercely in the dark, so she didn't laugh out loud.

"Aren't you afraid that if you don't give face in this way, they will have a grudge against you, and they will treat you in the future?"

Even Gu Xiaoya couldn't help laughing. The key point was that just after the group landed, almost all the people with official positions in the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River came. Even if Li Changshou was noble, it was too embarrassing!
He just said that he was tired, so he directly got into the carriage arranged by the Secretary of the Imperial City in advance, and left the group of people where they were.

It was completely silent and could only watch them leave.

"Isn't that just right? Gu is still worrying that there is no reason to use some of them to scare chickens and monkeys. If someone takes the initiative to stand up, it will save Gu a lot of trouble."

Li Changshou shrugged his shoulders, and Lin Luoxi and Gu Xiaoya covered their mouths and laughed lightly with his nonchalant attitude.

If you think about it carefully, it is true.

In terms of identity, Li Changshou is a prince, a prince, and indeed has the right to be indifferent to anyone.

At the same time, in terms of official position, he is also the Jiedu envoy of the East China Sea, and all the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, large and small, who have official positions, will respect him when they see him.

However, that is only on the surface.

The current Li Changshou, apart from his official position, could hardly find many trustworthy and obedient subordinates except those who followed him.

Therefore, the eyes of the two women could not help but look aside.

Besides them and Li Changshou, there was another person sitting in the carriage.

With a pretty, gentle and demure appearance, she seemed a little embarrassed and lowered her head halfway without making a sound.

"Sister Fang, we have arrived at Qiantang now, Your Highness is waiting for someone from the Fang family."

Lin Luoxi smiled sweetly to point out that the Fang family, as the largest family in Jiangdong, has a pivotal position and influence in the entire three counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

The three women were all wearing veils just now, and Fang Rou had been away from Jiangnan for more than ten years, so no one recognized that one of the three women accompanying Li Changshou was the daughter of the Jiangnan Fang family.

Otherwise, the expression changes of that group of people would definitely be more exciting!

"I understand that I will definitely not delay His Highness's plan!"

After Fang Rou's ideological struggle during this period, some changes have gradually taken place. Hearing this, she quickly explained softly, and at the same time carefully observed Li Changshou's face.

Now her wealth and life are in the hands of Li Changshou, and she is not even sure what will happen to the entire Fang family.

But at least one thing she understands!

As long as you obey the man in front of you, you won't suffer, otherwise...

Thinking of the previous experience, Fang Rou's face turned pale, and the past was unbearable.

……

Although Qiantang is only a small county, its prosperity is definitely not inferior to that of many big cities in the north, and the people from the Imperial City Department have already arranged the place after a day's advance.

The place to stay is not very big, with the unique small bridge and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, which is antique.

It was supposed to be the mansion of a merchant in Qiantang, but now it has been bought by Li Changshou.

"How much did it cost?"

Looking at the mansion in front of him, Li Changshou was quite satisfied.

In his previous life, he was actually from the south of the Yangtze River, so when he saw familiar buildings and familiar customs in other time and space, he still felt somewhat moved back to his hometown.

"Going back to Your Highness, it took five hundred guan."

It was only five hundred guan, and Li Changshou would not even consider this cost with his eyes closed.

Of course, buying this mansion is not just for him to stay in, there is a deeper meaning behind it.

as predicted.

As soon as it got dark, someone already took the initiative to visit.

The person who visited was none other than the magistrate of Qiantang County, and he didn't come to visit empty-handed, he came directly to the door with two large suitcases.

"Fang Qingshan, magistrate of Qiantang county, pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Shou!"

"Your Highness, a thousand years old! A thousand years old! A thousand years old!"

Although the official position of a county magistrate in Yicheng is not high, he is a well-deserved parental official on the three-acre land of Qiantang.

Even Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is still such a rich area to be an official here. The abundance of oil and water can be seen from the fat figure of Qiantang County Magistrate.

However, it is this parent official who is domineering in Qiantang, now standing there tremblingly with a smiling face, cold sweat dripping from his forehead one after another, wiping his cuffs several times, his face is cautious.

Li Changshou looked at the tense reaction of the magistrate of Qiantang, and his expression did not change much.

He didn't even look at the two big wooden boxes, but just sat there indifferently, pretending not to understand, and asked: "Master Fang is here at this hour, is there something important?"

Knowingly ask!

Fang Qingshan trembled when he heard it, but he didn't dare to complain openly.

So I can only cup my hands with a smile on my face and say: "Your Majesty knows that His Highness is tired, so he specially prepared some small gifts!"

As he spoke, he opened the two wooden boxes, and suddenly a piece of jewels bloomed. If you look carefully, there are boxes of gold ingots inside!

A whole two boxes!

Among other things, the golden light that illuminates the entire room is enough to attract people's eyes.

"These are Jiangnan specialties prepared by the officials for His Highness, please be careful, and I hope His Highness will accept it with a smile!"

God damn Jiangnan characteristics!
Why didn't he know that Jiangnan had such a glittering specialty?

Is there a difference between the two planes?

Li Changshou looked at the two big boxes of gold ingots, and then his eyes fell on Fang Qingshan's face with great interest.

"Master Fang has a heart!"

He accepted it with a smile, there was no possibility of rejection at all, why would he refuse all the good things that were delivered to his door?
"It should be, it should be! This is all a little care of the lower officials!"

Listening to Li Changshou's smile, Fang Qingshan's heart hanging in the air finally fell to the ground, and there was no need for Li Changshou to speak, Guan Peng wisely asked people to lift the two wooden boxes down.

Youdao is soft-mouthed and short-handed, but after Li Changshou accepted this 'Jiangnan specialty' with a smile, his face did not change at all.

As lukewarm as before, the purpose of this trip to Jiangnan was not mentioned at all.

It directly made Fang Qingshan's heart that had been left behind lift up again.

People in their 40s are embarrassed in front of Li Changshou, a young man.

"Master Fang, is there anything else?"

Take the benefits and turn your face and deny people?
Fang Qingshan was about to cry, gritted his teeth, and finally took the initiative to say the reason for his visit tonight: "Your Highness, I actually have one more thing to do today."

"Oh?"

Li Changshou pretended not to understand.

Fang Qingshan took a deep breath, then looked to the left and right. Apart from Li Changshou and him, the people from the Imperial City Division were also in the room.

Guan Peng is the right-hand man of Lu Changshou, and his expression undoubtedly shows that there are outsiders around, so it is not easy to speak.

As soon as Li Changshou waved his hand, Guan Peng and the others immediately retreated respectfully.

After the screen faded away, Li Changshou asked: "Tell me, what else is there, so hesitant."

"Your Highness, this official is from the Jiangdongfang clan!"

It's not a secret that Fang Qingshan revealed the origin of his identity, but who made Li Changshou keep pretending to be stupid?

He could only take the initiative to mention it.

It's all said to be so obvious, right?
"What does the Fang family mean?"

Li Changshou supported his head with one hand, and looked at the Qiantang magistrate with a half-smile,

"Yes, I don't want to hide anything from Your Highness, the clan asked me to confirm one thing!"

It is reasonable for the Fang family to send someone over to meet him secretly, so what to confirm?
Can Li Changshou fail to guess?
So she clapped her hands, "Come out, it's time to meet my natal family."

As Li Changshou opened his mouth with a smile, a woman appeared at the side door of the house. She looked a little embarrassed and nervous, and came to Li Changshou's side cautiously. She is a daughter of a rich family!

"Your Highness..."

Fang Rou bit her cherry lips lightly, and Fang Qingshan showed shock when she saw it, and then hurriedly bowed her hands in salute: "Qingshan has met my aunt!"

But the next sentence almost didn't make Li Changshou's face pale!
"Meet uncle!"
