Chapter 48
"I thought the cooks in the palace were the ceiling of the culinary world, but I didn't expect that the magistrate's here is not bad."

"I have only heard of one person who can make Dongpo meat like this." That was the imperial chef of the former dynasty. It is really not easy for the county magistrate to find such a big man.

In other words, he was a fish that slipped through the net among the group of people ordered to be hunted and killed by the Taihuang.

"Yue'er, you have made a great contribution."

Shen Zhiyue tilted her head, her big eyes were full of doubts: "You didn't speak clearly, why did you dance so fast, what merit have I done?"

Bai Mingyu walked into the emperor's room and reported the incident. The emperor said with a straight face: "The emperor sent out many killers to kill these old ministries. If this person is really an old ministries, there must be someone behind Otherwise, with so many people rounding him up, he wouldn't be alive."

At that time, the father and emperor rode a horse to conquer the world, wiped out the Yi tribe, and unified the Central Plains. However, it is said that the Yi tribe can tell fortunes from the sky, and they are very accurate. They once asserted when they were surrounded by fire.

The father's throne will not be long, and the Yi tribe will not be overthrown. One day, the world will change hands.

At that time, the father was young and vigorous, unwilling to reconcile with the world he had finally won, and surrendered to others, so he ordered to shoot and kill the Yi tribe.

At that time, the national teacher just appeared and said a lot of things to please the father. The father trusted him very much. Gradually, the father got older and wanted to remove all obstacles before he ascended the throne.

That's why there was the unjust case of Hou Qian's family, and the father of Brother Wang. At that time, he was young, but he eavesdropped outside the door. After the father died, the queen mother came forward to suppress these voices and forced the princess Calm down.

This is what happened after he came to power. It seemed that everything was peaceful, but he knew very well in his heart that even though his hands had not been stained with blood, his body was already covered with blood, which could not be washed off.

"So we need to investigate clearly, and the minister will stay here to investigate clearly."

After all, the emperor was the lord of a country, and he couldn't stay here for too long, so he was given a token, which allowed him to dispatch troops, but he couldn't ask for them. After all, he wasn't a military talisman, and the royal family was still wary of him.

Bai Mingyu went out with the token, and when he returned to the room, he saw her sitting by the bed with a puffy face: "What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell me anything? I have guessed for a long time, and I don't know what meritorious service you are talking about."

Bai Mingyu laughed, and his lips touched the center of her eyebrows: "This king knows where the magistrate's weakness is. Tomorrow, you will return to the capital with the emperor. It is still dangerous to stay here."

"I want to stay here for a day, can I, I want to eat the food here." Today I am caring about the training of the magistrate, so I don't have time to go out for a stroll.

"Let Yu Cong follow." Bai Mingyu said, with Yu Cong following her, he would be more at ease.

"Okay, I'll go shopping tomorrow, and I'll go back to the capital the day after tomorrow, so I won't hold you back." Shen Zhiyue promised.

"Yue'er is not holding me back, this king is worried that you will be in danger."

"I know that once I'm in danger, you will lose your way, so I said, I can't hold you back." Shen Zhiyue raised her small head.

Bai Mingyu kissed her on the lips. Ever since this person took advantage of her, he has been going on endlessly, um...

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor left in a carriage, and they stood at the door of the inn to watch them off. Shen Zhiyue turned to look at him: "It's still early, do you want to go shopping together?"

Bai Mingyu will send people to investigate the reality later, to see if the county magistrate has privately raised people in this place, and it should be completely cleared up tomorrow.

Seeing that he didn't agree immediately, Shen Zhiyue must have something to do, so she said, "If you have something to do, I'll go shopping with Yu Cong first."

"Well, come back soon."

Shen Zhiyue brought Yu Cong to the market. It was more lively than expected, but there were very few stalls, and most of them were shops. She walked into the fabric shop and saw a seller of candied haws at the door, so she picked up a bunch. He took out two copper coins from his waist and handed them to the boss.

The boss immediately stopped her: "Girl, I see that you are a foreigner, this one costs one tael of silver."

"One tael, the capital is only two liters, are you sure you didn't take advantage of the fire?" She ate everything, and now she said it, maybe she could still spit it out.

When the shopkeeper heard that he was from the capital, he must have money in his pocket. Who doesn't know that money in the capital is easy to earn, and anyone with money in their pockets would go to the capital.

Just because they have wives and children, and the rent of the store is rising every month, they have no choice but to raise the prices of things, which leads to unsalable things, and they can't sell any of them. They are about to drink the northwest wind.

"Girl, why don't you take a look at my cloth, these are all high-quality cloth, count your number." 500 taels.

Shen Zhiyue touched it casually, and it was not as good as the cheapest fabrics sold in stores in the capital: "Aren't you treating me as a big fish, slaughtering as much as I can, I eat things, I recognize when I'm slaughtered, I don't want these .”

The store immediately stopped her: "Girl, you have stretched out your hand to touch the fabrics. You have touched all these fabrics. How can you say no to them? How can you let me sell them to others?"

Here is the place they must pass to go to the capital, and they can only use this method to deceive foreigners. They can get a little bit, as long as it is enough for the rent of the shop, and they can barely survive this month.

Shen Zhiyue couldn't believe it: "The fabrics in your shop are so precious that you can't even touch them. Believe it or not, I'll report to the official!"

This is strong buying and strong selling. If they can call the service hotline, can these people just close their doors?
Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper heard the report, the arrogance became even more arrogant: "Okay, the report is 1000 taels, and one tael less will not work."

Shen Zhiyue suspected that the county magistrate was corrupt before, could it be done in this way? Seeing how eager they were to report to the police, she suddenly didn't want to do that anymore.

"Yu Cong, these people want money from me for nothing."

Yu Cong immediately pulled out his sword and swiped across in front of them. They were so frightened that their legs limp and knelt on the ground.

"My lord, please forgive me. We were forced to do nothing, so we made such a bad move. The county magistrate has increased the rent of the shop every month. Originally, my small shop was quite profitable. It's really unbearable. The original rent of 50 taels has now become 500 taels, which is really difficult for us to maintain.”

Shen Zhiyue sounds a little too much, 50 taels has risen to 500 taels, how will these stores survive in the long run.

She said: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If you lie, don't die."

The shopkeeper kowtowed in fear: "Girl, everything we said is true, and there is absolutely no half-truth. I swear on the lives of my family."
