Chapter 281 The woman who chases Chu Feng can be lined up from Yushifu to the palace
The next day, early in the morning.

City Lord's Mansion, front hall.

"Do you know where the butler went?"

Tang Hong found out that he didn't see the butler early in the morning, so he asked the servants not far away.

"Going back to the city owner, the villain also didn't see the butler all morning."

A servant bent down and replied.

"Could it be that there is something urgent to go out?"

Tang Hong guessed.

Although this kind of thing rarely happens, it is not unheard of.

Forget it, the housekeeper's affairs should be put aside for now, and greeting Master Chu and Mr. Chu is the business.

"Go and invite Master Chu and Young Master Chu over for breakfast."

Tang Hong ordered to his servants.

Although there is no butler, the servants have already prepared a hearty breakfast.

"Yes."

The servant nodded in response, and just as he was about to step over the threshold, Chu Zhan and Chu Feng appeared in the front hall.

"City Master Tang, don't bother them, we are here."

Chu Zhan smiled slightly.

"Master Chu, Mr. Chu, hurry up and have breakfast. This is the special pastry I specially ordered people to go to the neighboring city to purchase yesterday."

"And this rice porridge is also made from fresh rice, and it also contains sea cucumber, abalone, and wolfberry"

Tang Hong introduced the items on the table one by one.

"City Master Tang has a heart."

Chu Zhan laughed.

And Chu Feng nodded slightly.

"Lord Chu, Mr. Chu, let me serve you a bowl of porridge."

Tang Hong enthusiastically served Chu Zhan a bowl of porridge. In the porridge, there were only a few sea cucumbers and abalones, but there were a lot of goji berries.

In the porridge that Tang Hong gave Chu Fengsheng, there were more sea cucumbers and abalones, but very few goji berries.

"By the way, City Lord Tang, where is Miss Bailian?"

"I believe that within an hour at most, the people who did the background check on Miss Bailian will return."

Chu Zhan took a bite of the tender and juicy abalone and asked.

Juicy and with a salty taste, it is definitely the best abalone.

"Then I'll send someone to invite Miss Bailian immediately."

"Come here, go and invite Miss Bailian."

Tang Hong ordered his servants.

"Yes."

The servants rushed to Bailian's residence immediately.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the servant came back panting, then bowed and said, "Go back to the city lord, Miss Bailian is not in the small courtyard, I don't know where she went."

"Missing people?"

Tang Hong was taken aback for a moment, then frowned indistinctly, and muttered, "Why did Bai Lian disappear so early in the morning? Could it be that she went out for something?"

"City Master Tang, since this Bailian is not in the mansion, do you know how to contact her?"

Chu Zhan put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked.

"This subordinate doesn't know either."

Embarrassment appeared on Tang Hong's face.

These days, because Bai Lian lived in the City Lord's Mansion and didn't go out much, Tang Hong didn't ask for Bai Lian's contact information.

"Since this is the case, it seems that we can only wait for Miss Bailian to come back before notifying her of the investigation results."

"If the time is short, then City Lord Tang will convey the message on his behalf."

Chu Zhan thought for a while and said.

He is a doctor censor, there are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in Wangcheng, it is impossible for him to spend all the time in this upper city.

"It's an honor to be in charge."

Tang Hong nodded in response, and then opened his mouth, hesitating for a moment, but finally did not speak.

And this scene naturally fell into Chu Zhan's eyes.

"City Master Tang, the fight against the plague is the first achievement of the Bailian girl, and your management and scheduling is the second achievement."

"After the censor returns to the king's city, he will definitely report all this in front of the king."

Chu Zhan patted Tang Hong on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Although Tang Hong just opened his mouth and didn't speak, Chu Zhan, who has a keen intuition in the officialdom, immediately knew what Tang Hong wanted to ask.

"what?"

"That's great!"

After hearing Chu Zhan's words, Tang Hong immediately showed a bright smile on his face.

In his life, he only had three major pursuits, to get promoted and get rich, and to kill his wife.

Getting rich and killing his wife have already been completed, and now only the promotion is left. Chu Zhan's words just hit his heart, so he can't be excited.

"Lord Chu, this is a wish from the lower official."

Tang Hong took out the gift he had prepared from his bosom, and stuffed it into Chu Zhan's hand.

"City Master Tang, you are being too polite. This censor is going to Shangcheng this time for official business."

Chu Zhan repeatedly waved his hands to decline, but his eyes were fixed on the gift in Tang Hong's hand.

"Your Excellency Chu was exhausted, and on the day you came, the lower officials didn't greet you because of something. It's really a sin."

"Your Excellency must accept it, otherwise the lower official will feel bad on his conscience."

Tang Hong said sincerely.

Seeing this, Chu Zhan deliberately showed embarrassment on his face, then he turned his eyes and aimed at Chu Feng beside him.

"Feng'er, you said City Lord Tang's kindness, what should I do?"

Chu Feng continued to taste the plump wolfberry, then rolled his eyes and said, "What can we do? Cold salad!"

There was no trace of anger in the voice.

You obviously want to accept it, but you still have to come and ask me.

Hearing this, Chu Zhan shook his face, then shook his head, "reluctantly" accepting Tang Hong's gift.

Seeing this, Tang Hong on the other side immediately flipped his hands over and took out a gift from his bosom again.

"Master Chu, you have worked hard on this journey. This is a gift specially prepared by Xia Guan for you."

"Then thank you City Lord Tang."

Chu Feng didn't have a lot of official words like Chu Zhan, so he directly accepted Tang Hong's gift.

Anyway, the principle that Chu Feng upholds is that you don’t want it for nothing, but you still want it if you want it.

"Master Chu, do you know if Young Master Chu is married? If not, I know quite a few ladies from all over the world, so I can introduce you to Young Master Chu."

Tang Hong said enthusiastically.

Obviously, he didn't know much about this Chu Feng.

If Tang Hong knew that Chu Feng was an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, he might not dare to speak to Chu Feng in such an elder-like manner.

"To be honest with City Lord Tang, the women chasing Chu Feng can line up from Yushi's Mansion to the palace, but Chu Feng didn't catch his eye. It's really worrying."

Chu Zhan sighed.

Chu Feng:? ? ?
This bad old man, for the sake of face, can say anything.

If I were looking for a woman, I would have lined up from the gate of Yushifu to the border of the Tang Dynasty!
"That's not because Young Master Chu is outstanding."

Tang Hong doesn't care if what Chu Zhan said is true or not, just follow along.

"My lord, the investigation on Bai Lian's background has already come to fruition."

At this moment, officials who investigated Bailian's background came in from outside.

"What are the results of the investigation?"

Chu Zhan put down the porridge bowl, got up and asked.

"My lord, according to our investigation, we found that there is something wrong with Bailian's background, and her identity information is forged."

"what?"

"Her identity was forged?"

Chu Zhan frowned.

"How could this be?"

"Before, Bai Lian swore to me that she had a clean background."

Tang Hong couldn't believe it.

"My lord, we found that there are traces of modification in the official residence's records of Bailian. Although it is very subtle, we still found it."

The investigating officer handed over the information obtained from the official residence to Chu Zhan.

Tang Hong, who was on the side, also came to Chu Zhan's side to check together.

This inspection really found a problem. The ink marks on it were wrong, not the ink used by the imperial court to record the materials of the people.

"My lord, while we are investigating, we also found that there may be problems with the information of the steward of the City Lord's Mansion."

"His information is also forged."

The investigators took out the information of the steward of the city lord's mansion.

"what?"

"My housekeeper's information is also a problem?"

Tang Hong was taken aback, and quickly took the documents in the hands of the investigating officer, and when he opened them, he found that there was also a problem with the ink on them.

"City Master Tang, where is the butler of your mansion?" Chu Zhan asked.

"To tell you the truth, Master Chu, I haven't seen the butler since early in the morning."

Tang Hong replied.

"Bai Lian disappeared? The butler of your City Lord's Mansion also disappeared?"

"It seems that they knew something would happen today, so they ran away early."

Chu Zhan analyzed.

"Master Chu, what should we do now?"

Tang Hong was a little confused.

"City Master Tang, you order the whole city to search for these two people. If you find them, you must torture them."

"If you can't find them, you can only let this matter go for now, but if these two people dare to appear in the upper city in the future, City Lord Tang will not be lenient."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Zhan said.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Tang Hong communicated the latest order to the officials below.

As for Chu Zhan, he sat quietly and waited for the result.

Chu Feng drank Longjing tea leisurely.

In fact, no matter whether it is the housekeeper or Bai Lian's information, there is no problem with the forgery at the beginning, and the reason why the investigators found out that there is a problem is because Chu Feng sneaked into the mansion last night and described it with different pens and inks, so that the investigators Found the problem.

As for why he didn't say it directly, it was entirely because Chu Feng didn't want to make things too troublesome.

……

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was already noon.

"Lord Chu, I sent people to search the entire upper city, but they didn't find any trace of the housekeeper or Bai Lian."

Tang Hong said to Chu Zhan.

"I think those two have escaped from the upper city."

"Since they have already run away, and my investigation of your officials in the upper city has almost come to an end, then it's time for me to return to Wangcheng."

Chu Zhan said.

"Master Chu, what about Bai Lian and the housekeeper?"

"I don't blame City Lord Tang for this. After returning to Wangcheng, I will not tell the king about your butler's problems. As for Bailian, I will say that she disappeared suddenly."

"And the meritorious deeds of your upper city officials in fighting the plague, I will also report to the king."

It is said that cannibals have soft mouths but short hands. Since Chu Zhan took Tang Hong's things, he naturally wanted to help Tang Hong.

"Then thank you, Master Chu. If you need me in the future, just ask."

Tang Hong said happily.

"Well, then we have to go, Feng'er, let's go back to Wangcheng."

"it is good."

Soon, Chu Zhan and Chu Feng set off on the road.

And not long after they left, a strange figure landed in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, it was none other than Qian Jiao.
