Chapter 161 Giant Corruption Zhao Qian (First update! Please subscribe, please ask for a monthly pass!)

Huangzhou City is extremely prosperous, and there are dozens of blacksmith shops in the city alone.

Zhangji blacksmith's shop is located in Nancheng, which is not well-known.

Those who come to Zhangji blacksmith shop are regular customers, and the business of the blacksmith shop mainly relies on word of mouth from old customers to bring new ones.

Although the business is not very prosperous, but it can barely maintain enough food and clothing, so as not to starve.

Today Zhang Chongzhi was still forging iron, and the extremely high furnace temperature made him sweat profusely.

He was shirtless, pausing now and then to wipe off his sweat.

Zhang Chongzhi raised his head inadvertently, and saw two handsome men in fine clothes appearing in front of his shop.

Zhang Ji Blacksmith Shop is located in an alley, relatively remote.

Ordinarily, there are almost no noble children or rich sons coming here.

Zhang Chongzhi asked with some doubts: "What are the two noblemen coming to order?"

These two people are none other than Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen.

Zhao Xun smiled slightly, pulled out the saber Minghong knife and handed it to Zhang Chongzhi, "Can you help me see if the worn part of this knife can be restored?"

Ming Hong Dao is a peerless artifact, and the wear and tear in Zhao Xun's mouth is only a very small one.

Zhang Chongzhi naturally knew the goods. When he saw the flickering light of Minghong Dao, he was very surprised.

"Young master, where did you get this knife?"

"It was passed down from the ancestors in the family."

"So that's how it is, that's why it's really a peerless sword."

Zhang Chongzhi stroked the blade, his eyes full of envy.

"If you want to repair the worn part of this knife, you have to fill it with the same grade of fine steel. Now you can't find such a good steel."

Zhang Chongzhi said with some regret.

"It's okay, I'm here to repair the blade just incidentally, mainly to ask a question for a friend."

Zhao Xun said calmly, "How is the Mingguang armor that the nobleman in Chang'an made a few years ago?"

As soon as Zhao Xun said this, Zhang Chongzhi, who was full of envy on his face, immediately suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice, "The bright light armor is ready, we just wait for the nobleman to send someone to pick it up."

This is the connection code agreed earlier.

After the two sides confirmed that they were correct, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Chongzhi, the dark son of a delinquent with a humble job, pays homage to the two adults."

Zhang Chongzhi saluted Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen very respectfully.

"You've worked hard."

Zhao Xun patted Zhang Chongzhi's arm full of tendons, and then said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Master Feng used the teleportation technique to send an order from Chang'an, let us strictly investigate Zhao Qian, the governor of Huangzhou, and let us contact you. You have been in Huangzhou for a long time, based on what you know about Zhao Qian, how is this person like?"

Now that the identity of the other party has been clarified, Zhao Xun went straight to the point and asked straight to the point.

"Reporting to my lord, Zhao Qian, the governor of Huangzhou, is sympathetic to the people on the surface, and loves the people like a son. He secretly sells private salt, fills his own pockets, and intercepts fire consumption. It can be called a huge greed."

hiss!Hearing this, Zhao Xun gasped.

Unexpectedly so.

If so, it should come as no surprise.

Zhao Xun and others happened to pass by Huangzhou. The bad guy Feng Hao must have calculated the time correctly and used the teleportation technique to pass the instructions to Zhao Xun.

"In that case, Ming Yun, why don't we just take down this official? You are an imperial envoy, and you have this power."

"No."

Zhao Xun shook his head and turned to Zhang Tiejiang and said, "Zhang Chongzhi, let me ask you, do you have paper evidence that Zhao Qian sold private salt, filled his pockets, and withheld fire consumption?"

Zhang Chongzhi shook his head in shame when he heard the words, "The humble job has not got the paper evidence yet."

Zhao Xun spread his hands and said: "Since there is no paper evidence, it is not enough to convict Zhao Qian. He must be very cautious for such a huge greed, and it is impossible for people to catch him easily. Although I am an imperial envoy, But if there is no certainty, it is impossible to take action against a fourth-rank official. Otherwise, the capital will definitely have objections."

Zhao Xun knew that his imperial envoy was the result of a compromise after a multi-party game.

There were continuous homicides along the coast of Jiangnan Road. At this time, the imperial court needed to send an imperial envoy to preside over the situation.

At this time, the faction of the imperial envoy is very critical.

Zhao Xun happened to be a person with no factions. Emperor Xianlong let Zhao Xun go because he didn't want him to favor any side.

And this Zhao Qian obviously dared to embezzle so much because he had a backer in the court.

In other words, the money that Zhao Qian corrupted not only went into his own pocket, but also went into the pockets of the backers and factions in the DPRK and China.

So as long as Zhao Xun has no conclusive evidence, Zhao Qian cannot be easily moved.Otherwise, the boss behind Zhao Qian will definitely jump out to protect Zhao Qian, and then bite Zhao Xun back, Zhao Xun's situation will be a bit dangerous.

Furthermore, Emperor Xianlong would definitely think that Zhao Xun was involved in a faction dispute, and his psychological impression of him would be greatly reduced.

Zhao Xun needs to make a move, but he must ensure that the timing of his shot is accurate enough.

Steady, precise and ruthless, one blow is fatal, not giving Zhao Qian and the big guys behind him and the party a chance to counterattack.

"Then what should we do? As Ming Yun said, we can't do anything to this Zhao Qian?"

"It's okay, I have a way."

Zhao Xun smiled slightly and said, "I'll give this old fox a try."

Huangzhou Governor's Mansion is located at the foot of Yuewei Mountain in the north of Huangzhou City.

Yuewei Mountain is located in Huangzhou City, which naturally divides Huangzhou City into two halves.

There is also the Grand Canal passing through the city, so there is a folk song: a mountain is divided into two sides, and the canal runs through the city.

The governor of Huangzhou is the lord of the city, so the mansion where he works and lives is naturally the place with the best luck.

Unlike the yamen in most prefectures and counties, the governor's yamen in Huangzhou is very luxurious.

The lobby and the second hall are very majestic, and the back house is even more magnificent.

In the back garden, a mud mountain was even dug out of a pond, and a pavilion was built on the mountain, named Wangjiang Pavilion.

Today, the governor of Huangzhou watched the koi by the pond in the back garden as usual.

Huangzhou is located on the dividing line between the north and the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so although it is a season of warm and cold, the temperature can be considered comfortable.

Zhao Qian threw the fish food into the pond and watched the koi in the pond scrambling for food, while gently stroking his beard.

"Dong Weng, something is wrong."

Zhao Qian turned his head to look, and saw that it was Han Sanwen, the staff member, who asked a little unhappy, "What's the proper way to be in such a panic?"

"It's the imperial envoy, the imperial envoy is here. The concierge didn't dare to stop him, the imperial envoy came all the way through the courtyard and towards the back house."

"Master Imperial Envoy? What is he doing here?"

Zhao Qian was very puzzled when he heard the words.

The imperial envoy Zhao Xun just borrowed Huangzhou, and after a few days of rest, he would take a boat along the canal all the way south to Jiangnan Road.

It stands to reason that they should not have much intersection.

Zhao Xun's sudden visit really caught him by surprise.

"You drag it on first, and go to see him after I change clothes."
