Ye Qing didn't find it strange that the Yangzhou prefect was able to find out when he arrived in Yangzhou at the first time.

In his opinion, if he could really reach Sizhou without being known to others, and no one was interested in staying in Yangzhou, he would probably be worried.

After all, in the court, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department who suddenly emerged, he did not gain the attention of court officials in Lin'an City because he had not made any achievements.

But this does not mean that they will not pay attention to themselves, and every move they make after Lin'an City...

Of course, paying attention to your every move is not because you are the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, but because the person who promoted you behind your back would make officials in the court hope to judge and guess Zhao Gou's intentions through his every move.

When he was inexplicably promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, even the left prime minister Wang Huai and the right prime minister Tang Situi were kept in the dark. However, after these people were carefully analyzed and sorted out, as well as Zhao Gou's summoning, etc., the court knew that the person who promoted him was Zhao Gou, and he was probably already a cross-border carp.

Naturally, after I quietly left Lin'an City, officials in the court, or officials from various prefectures, transshipment envoys and other officials will begin to figure out where their destination is.

And his destination was obviously the eyes and attention of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou, who had abdicated for a long time in the imperial palace of Lin'an City.

Zhao Shixiong, whose very domineering name even made Ye Qing doubt whether he was a royal Zhao family after his first meeting.

Fortunately, he thought too much. As the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, Zhao Shixiong, as well as the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, took charge of the entire Huainan East Road together with the three members of the magistrate Liu Wushu and the envoy of the execution.

Zhao Shixiong was the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, and left speechless power to govern Yangzhou and the transshipment envoy of Huainan East Road. Li Xizhi was appointed as the commissioner of the punishment envoy. The three of them had constraints and supervision, and they also formed the local rights of the Song Dynasty, which were separated by the three powers and scattered with the powers, the most distinctive characteristics.

Ye Qing did not see the Yangzhou magistrate Liu Wushuo, nor did he see Li Xizhi. There was no one else in the room except himself and Zhao Shixiong.

"It shouldn't have been disturbed after Commander Ye arrived in Yangzhou, but if Zhao knew that Commander Ye had arrived in Yangzhou and pretended not to know, wouldn't he have lost his etiquette and neglected the distinguished guests. So Zhao simply greeted Commander Ye, and hoped that Commander Ye would forgive him for his etiquette and would be simpler." Zhao Shixiong's name was domineering, but he was not very domineering. If no one introduced him, he would probably be walking on the street and no one would associate this rustic old man with the prefect of Yangzhou.

"Where is Lord Zhao's way of doing this, Ye Qing is so flattered. How dare you blame Lord Zhao?" Ye Qing and Zhao Shixiong sat opposite each other, with a table of delicious delicacies, but obviously it was not something that the two people should pay attention to.

"I don't know if Commander Ye went north this time, except for Sizhou. Is there anything else I need to do? Is Zhao's help and do it on his behalf? The Supreme Emperor entrusted Commander Ye with the important task, and Commander Ye was so young, so he shouldn't have asked too much, but Huainan East Road has always been the front line of my Great Song Dynasty's resistance to the Jin Dynasty. Not to mention the fierce folk customs, even under the eye of the Jin people, all states and counties are extremely xenophobic. What Zhao is afraid of is that if Commander Ye is not familiar with customs, what if he does not do it..." Zhao Shixiong did not beat around the bush at all, and asked bluntly when he came up.

"Ye Qing thanked Lord Zhao for his kindness first, but... I'm not doing anything when going north this time. I believe the master knows that Ye Qing went north this time to go north with the Lin'an merchant Jia Yan family, just a private matter." Ye Qing said with a tacit expression.

Zhao Shixiong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said a few times: "Young talent, beautiful woman? Then Zhao congratulates the beauty that Commander Ye first on returning! Please."

After saying that, Zhao Shixiong took the lead in picking up the wine glass, and the expression on his face was still full of enthusiasm, and he was not displeased at all because of Ye Qing's personal affairs.

Of course, he would not believe that Ye Qing went north this time for this private matter!

A deputy commander of the Imperial City Department led fifty banished soldiers from Lin'an. He did not believe that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou did not know about this, nor did he believe that Zhao Gou would really let anyone go. The deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, who had just been promoted and entrusted with important tasks, was just accompanying the beauty to the north simply to go north.

However, Zhao Shixiong did not ask for anything bluntly, but changed it to a roundabout way. While the two toasted each other, Zhao Shixiong kept beating indirectly, while Ye Qing was still smiling as if he was as calm as a mountain to use the Yan family as a shield.

But even so, he felt more and more that Zhao Gou, the old guy, was unfathomable. Is this so-called "cowardly" fearless person who survived in the cracks in the midst of the crisis in the Song Dynasty really just wanted to kill a few people?

As a superior, his purpose is obviously not so single, just to kill a few people, right?

This made Ye Qing have to guess while greeting Zhao Shixiong, what was the purpose of Wang Lun asking him to find an address in Yangzhou after the Sizhou business was finished?

But no matter how he wanted to break his head, he didn't know what Wang Lun had told him about and what he promised to get a thousand taels of silver.

The single banquet ended in less than an hour, with Zhao Shixiong and Ye Qing swearing each other, so when Zhao Shixiong knew that Ye Qing was going to Sizhou early tomorrow morning, his expression immediately seemed a lot more relaxed.

However, when he heard that after Ye Qing finished his business in Sizhou and had to walk from Yangzhou again, his eyebrows frowned again when Ye Qing left.

After watching Ye Qing leave in his sedan chair, Zhao Shixiong, who was standing at the door, had his rustic temperament becoming increasingly faint, but his expression became more and more solemn. The official next to him who invited Ye Qing from the inn stood by, also showed a thoughtful expression.

"Mr. Zhao, is this guy very strict?" Peng Qi, the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, asked in a low voice.

"He is an extremely smart little fox. No wonder he was valued by the Supreme Emperor. He was promoted from a small imperial guard to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division overnight. But the Imperial City Division is no longer the Imperial City Division when Qin Hui was the prime minister. What was the intention of the Supreme Emperor sending him north this time?" Zhao Shixiong seemed to be talking to the Tongzong Peng Qi, and shook his head slightly to himself.

"Will we send someone secretly... to follow along? In this way, even if there is something wrong, it's better to be prepared." Peng Qi pondered for a while and said carefully.

Zhao Shixiong did not agree or disagree, but suddenly asked: "Is there any movement in Liu Wuyan? Or have you been pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

"There is no movement yet, but there is no movement at all. It's not normal. Isn't he worried that the Supreme Emperor sent the Imperial City to the north to do it?" Peng Qi was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Zhao Shixiong agreed or did he send someone to follow him.

In the officialdom of Huainan East Road, no one was clean. No one was greedy for the imperial court. Especially Zhao Shixiong, who was a pacifier, was in charge of the troops of Huainan Road, while Liu Wushuo was in charge of the taxes of Huainan Road, and also had the same duties as the supervisory official as the envoy for punishment.

Therefore, in the officialdom of Huainan East Road and on the front line of the Song Dynasty's anti-Jin period, basically no official was innocent.

Although it has been almost ten years since the last Jin people invasion, the taxes on Huainan East Road have been high. With no war between the two countries, various expenses have been on the rise. Could it be another purpose of Zhao Gou?

Zhao Shixiong shook his head. He didn't know if Peng Qi was analyzing it, he didn't know what Zhao Gou was thinking, and he didn't know what the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department was going north this time.

Although Ye Qing didn't know much about Yangzhou, he had been in power for the past few days in office as the Imperial City Office, except for being idle, he did nothing. Besides, there was also an extremely gossipy man next to him. After Old Liu left, his daughter Liu Lan'er immediately took over his position as Goblin.

So for Ye Qing, whether the officialdom of Huainan East Road is complicated is somewhat confusing, but this matter is not his own business, so he will not worry about this leisure.

But as Zhao Shixiong had just arrived in Yangzhou, he was eager to invite him alone. In addition, the more he thought about Zhao Gou, the old fox, the more he felt frightened, the more he felt that the purpose of Zhao Gou's trip was not to block the Jin people's caravan, and it was so easy to kill a few people.

With the address that Wang Lun gave him in his arms, Ye Qing wanted to go to this address now to see if Wang Lun arranged for himself a person or a matter? Or was it a matter of personnel?

Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, he sat in the small garden of the inn, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure out whether Zhao Gou was killing two birds with one stone or whether it was a one-person use for more than one person!

After Po Li San inspected the inn yard where they lived, he saw Ye Qing's belly alone in the garden pavilion of the inn.

Just after walking over, before he could speak, he saw Ye Qing signaling him to silence with his hands.

Looking at Ye Qing who was sitting there without saying a word, he waited for a long time to splash Li San. When he was about to be unable to help, he heard Ye Qing sigh and looked at him and asked, "You said that if there were 1,000 or 500 people in the Imperial City Division secretly heading north, what would the Supreme Emperor react?"

"This... I don't know this? You have to ask him." Po Li San looked up at the top of the pavilion, but didn't see the night sky, and lowered his head and said.

"It's okay if I move within 200 people in the Imperial City Department. If two hundred people go up, there is no need to censors. If the censor impeaches me, Long Dayuan and Lin Guangchao can directly crack me..."

"What? Isn't this one hundred of us enough?" Pou Li San looked at Ye Qing's frowning face and asked curiously.
