I want to be a good minister

Chapter 60

Cen Xi hadn't finished speaking when he heard Yuan Zhen's voice. He immediately smiled helplessly, and looked at Helian Jianxiu who was in front of him. This Lord Yuan Zhen was a very passionate man.

"Your Highness, since that's the case, why don't we wait and see what the purpose of this father and daughter is?" Cen Xi leaned slightly, and approached Helian Jianxiu a little. When the people outside the carriage heard it, the man intuited that the warmth with the smell of green grass was in his ears, like the dogtail grass in the breeze in his palm.

"It's an idea—" Helian Jianxiu's eyes moved slightly, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he immediately turned his head to look away.

Hearing that the old man couldn't speak for a while, all the guards under him had already followed suit.

"Yes, Mrs. Zeng, don't worry, we're here." Cen Xi even twitched. Look, everyone already knew their last and last names. This father and daughter had done a lot of homework.

Ge Lao saw that there was no order from the carriage, but he did not intend to stop it. He also saw that the guards insisted that the team behind him had already checked the team and was gathering to come forward.

The departure at this time will definitely arouse suspicion, and the time is not allowed, the old man can only nod his head, Yuan Zhen can't wait, and immediately took the two women to hide under the carriage behind to salute.

"Thank you, strong man. If the strong man insisted on saving her, I would..." The lady of the Zeng family burst into tears, and Yuan Zhen's face turned red. He has never seen such a scene among men.

"Madam of the Zeng family, don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you." Yuan Zhen immediately said, patted his chest, while speaking, the team of Da Jing had already arrived, first they circled the horse.

"All officials, we are decent and kind businessmen." Elder Ge came out immediately, looking very shocked, with exactly the same expression and posture as the previous group of people.

"Hahahaha, there is no decent businessman, and there is no good businessman." Hearing this, the immediate official laughed loudly.

Hearing this, Cen Xi bowed his head and smiled, the official mission is the truth, the bustling roads are all for profit, businessmen only want profit, there is no such thing as goodness.

"I'm not blocking your way of making money now, I just ask if you saw a father and daughter, saying that they are going this way with a convoy of horses and horses." The official next to him asked, and Ge Lao shook his head immediately.

"I didn't see any father or daughter. We were in a hurry, so we didn't have time to talk to strangers."

This made sense, the official obviously believed it a little, and started to wave his hand.

"Search—" Immediately, several officials rushed towards several carriages, and everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats.

Seeing this, Cen Xi took out two gold cakes from one side of the wooden grid, quietly handed them to the guard at the side, and whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard immediately walked up to Elder Ge with the gold cakes.

Ge Lao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face was a little angry. He was an upright man all his life, how could he do such a shameful thing, but when he saw the shaking curtain in the carriage, this was...

What does His Royal Highness mean?
Yes, he has no choice but to do this...

Ge Lao reluctantly took the gold cake, and headed towards the former leader of the official post.

"My lord, the weather is hot now, why don't you come down and have a cup of tea, we are boiling water, brewing a large pot of tea, and it's just cold now.

As he said that, the guards immediately moved the table, and then put on a large porcelain pot. The tea leaves were also freshly picked Huoxiang. Seeing this, the official servant immediately felt a surge of fluid in his mouth. He got off the horse and drank a cup, feeling refreshed immediately.

"My lords, come and sit down together, this is a big sun..." Ge Lao followed and greeted again. Seeing this, all the officials searched so-so, and sat down on the low table one after another, drinking tea together.

"Hey, old man, our adults have been guarding this area of ​​Qiliang County for quite a long time. You say you are doing business, why do you look at yourself?" The leading official looked at the elder Ge, showing suspicion.

"My lords, to be honest, we have been doing business in Dajing and Beichang for a long time. What is the best in the five counties on the east bank of Dajing? The gold and copper of the county, the gold and iron of the Weili County, and the gold sand and jade of the Heshan County, the five colors are the five-color cotton, which is unique.

"Look, the business in the five counties on the east bank is quite familiar." Seeing this, the official officer looked away, and saw the other two carriages, "Why, this business is dragging its children—"

"My lord, these are the villain's two unfilial sons, brought them out to see the world, you see I'm old, and I haven't made a fortune for a few years, but this business can't keep up, I only have the colorful cotton business Beichang needs three stores—" Ge Lao said, shaking his head, and quietly wrapped the two gold cakes in silk cloth, and pressed them under the tea bowl.

When the official saw him, he nodded immediately. He was indeed a businessman who knew the market, and he was very generous.

"It seems that I've waited to see the difference, so knowledgeable." The officer weighed the gold cake, showing a satisfied smile, "Also, this multicolored cotton is naturally not as good as Beichang's Cui Duan, which is the best in the world. Absolutely."

"Oh, my lord was just joking, that Cui Duan belongs to the royal family of Beichang, not to mention having it, it's hard to even see it..." Elder Ge immediately shook his head, and the official immediately burst out laughing.

"The old man is right. This business is done to the core. OK, let's go—" The official waved his hand, and the rest of the people immediately got on their horses and went forward.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the official sent all the way south and disappeared for a moment.

The carriages and horses continued on the road, and all the way was safe and sound. At night, they had arrived at Helu County. Mr. Ge found an ordinary inn and asked for a few rooms, which hindered Yuan Zhen from asking the father and daughter as well. After getting a room, Cen Xi naturally did his best to take care of his lord. Once all the meals and utensils were prepared, Cen Xi was a dexterous person, so he came down a few times with ease.

When Yuan Zhen finds Mr. Ge, he seems to be still furious. Mr. Ge is not interested in talking to him and wants to hide, but Yuan Zhen stops him.

"I said Mr. Ge, you can let Miss Cen sleep with the lady of the Zeng family, and the old man can sleep with me. It will be inconvenient for them to be father and daughter." a few dollars.

"How can Ms. Cen—" Miss Cen is not here, who will take care of His Highness the Crown Prince and let them rough old men?Besides, is the prince willing?
"Why not, His Royal Highness should also avoid suspicion..." Before Yuan Zhen finished speaking, Ge Lao tightly covered his mouth.

"You, you who have suffered thousands of knives, can you talk nonsense?" Elder Ge immediately glanced around, hearing the sound and Ling Yi shook his head immediately, they didn't hear anything just now.

"Why not?" Yuan Zhen stared, but the old man in front of him didn't dare to push.

"Master Yuan, if you have the ability, go and talk to the crown prince. We absolutely dare not." Wen Sheng spoke up suddenly, Yuan Zhen paused, and immediately looked at Wen Sheng, even the elder Ge was taken aback, looking at him This student who has never spoken.
