Qi Zhiyuan saw Emperor Hongzhi like Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden.

Especially when I saw my own dishes, I looked like I had never seen the world before, and I couldn't help but feel very happy.

"I heard that Qin Envoy is from Shandong. I think it's my first time to come to Jiangnan. Qin Envoy has been in Shandong and the capital for a long time. The dishes in Jiangnan are the most exquisite. Look, this is the duck tip. Nanjing is the favorite here. This duck tip is the tip of the tongue in the duck tongue and makes it into a dish. The focus is on the fragrance, smoothness and refreshing taste. And this..."

He introduced each of them carefully, and Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan were both stunned.

Fang Jifan was also a little confused. We, Fang Jifan... are really ashamed of the name of a prodigal son!

Qi Zhiyuan had inquired about the identity of Emperor Hongzhi. He was born in a family of poetry and books in Shandong. He was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Chenghua. He was not very proud in his official career. Although he entered the Hanlin Academy early, he had always been in the Hanlin Classics and History Museum and was unknown. He felt that Emperor Hongzhi had a little kind face and felt particularly friendly.

This time the emperor appointed the imperial envoy to investigate the case of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Qi Zhiyuan naturally wanted to be extra diligent and enthusiastic.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "I have met the emperor in the capital. During the New Year, the emperor refused to abandon him, and Shangshenjian gave him food, but the food in this palace was not as good as the food in my brother's house."

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Qi Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "This is too heartbroken. Alas, don't look at me with a big show, but my family has a big business and countless places that require expenses. I am quite famous in Nanjing, but now, I am not intimate. Since I have been robbed by the Xishan Money House, I have taken a lot of land and bought people's hearts with this free rent. None of them are wailing everywhere in Nanjing. Alas... it's so hard. I'm afraid I'll eat braised vegetables after living some days."

Fang Jifan's chopsticks were holding the duck tip, and he thought of the scene of eating braised vegetables in his mind, which was very inconsistent.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Why, the whole country in Nanjing is full of complaints?"

"The Qin envoy was in the capital for a long time, so I didn't know. Stop it. It's really meaningless to say that. The Qin envoy is here to investigate the Duke of Wei..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "That's right."

Qi Zhiyuan said: "I am one of the complainants. Just over half a month ago, a Xu family member from the Duke of Wei's Mansion came to the door personally and said something like "Su Yiyu's Mansion". I was very brave. I was shocked when I heard this and didn't dare to make a statement. But after I inquired, I found that many families were invited by the Duke of Wei's Mansion. I felt that it was of great importance, so I quickly asked someone to inform some old friends in the capital that in Nanjing, the Duke of Wei's Mansion was extremely powerful, and I reported it, and the risks I took were really quite... Alas..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was solemn: "If this Duke of Wei's Mansion wants to rebel, he dares to make such a big fuss, which is what everyone knows?"

The meaning of this sentence seemed to be saying, is this Duke Wei Mansion stupid?

Qi Zhiyuan seemed embarrassed and said, "If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, there is no airtight wall in this world. Isn't it because Duke Qi killed Duke Wei's grandson? How could Duke Wei swallow this? How did Duke Qi... Qin Envoy think?"

Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face. He glanced at Fang Jifan from the corner of his eyes and said lightly: "Sure."

Qi Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and showed a meaningful look: "Is the envoy... not trusting me like this?"

"What does it mean?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at him suspiciously.

Qi Zhiyuan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile and said, "As the imperial envoy, my friend in the capital, has long been writing books and sending them here. Haven't you always complained in the Museum of Classics and History that the thousands of acres of thin land in your hometown in Shandong were abandoned because of the rent-free matter? Now I am in trouble, and I can't live this life? Besides, I have heard that you are a disciple of the former Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Your mentor was punished and dismissed from office because of the matter in the West Mountain. I think there is nothing wrong with this."

Emperor Hongzhi never expected that the Hanlin he had chosen casually would be clearly understood before leaving the capital, and he would never have imagined that there were so many sources in it.

So Emperor Hongzhi smiled dryly unnaturally.

Fang Jifan thought to himself that fortunately there is no such thing as a photo these days, otherwise people would have been so clear about it, and most of them would have been exposed.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi laughing dryly, Qi Zhiyuan knew it in his heart and said, "I think the imperial envoy also hates Xishan deeply?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and said, "The Duke of Qi is in power, and it is not something that I am a subordinate who can discuss."

While speaking, Fang Jifan had already lowered his head and feasted.

Qi Zhiyuan put the dishes in the chopsticks down and had no appetite: "Yes, can we discuss this? But... Now the people in Jiangnan are in full swing, and the Duke of Wei's Mansion wants to rebel, the one from Xishan..."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the north: "This is not a way to live. Now I still hear that in some prefectures, the parents and officials who came out of the West have begun to thoroughly investigate the hidden houses. If this continues, will we still have a way to live?"

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

Qi Zhiyuan immediately said, "The imperial envoy came here with the order. In addition to thoroughly investigating the Duke of Wei's Mansion, he was afraid that he would also assume the responsibility of reporting the facts of Jiangnan to His Majesty, right?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. He seemed extremely cautious, but at this time, he was afraid of showing his flaws.

Qi Zhiyuan sneered: "Then the imperial envoy is here in Nanjing, so he should listen more and take a look at what this is a good-looking Qinhuai.

After a conversation, the dish was already cold before he knew it. Emperor Hongzhi did not move any chopsticks. Qi Zhiyuan only tasted some wine and dishes, so he had no appetite. Only Fang Jifan was panting and sweating profusely.

Qi Zhiyuan didn't know who Fang Jifan was, but saw that he was just silent and said that he was the deputy envoy. It was obvious that he was young and it didn't matter, so he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

This large table of wine and food was removed, and Qi Zhiyuan immediately stood up and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Emperor Qin, don't know where to stay? I know that the envoy is here to visit secretly. Since it is an undercover investigation, most of them cannot stay in the official residence. Why not stay here? I have already prepared several bedrooms here, if I don't abandon it..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Therefore, thanked him and went to Fang Jifan to bid farewell to Qi's family and found an inn to stay in.

When Emperor Hongzhi got off the bed, someone on the other side found Qi Zhiyuan: "Master, please find out, the Qin envoy took his men to stay at Laifu Inn."

"I understand." Qi Zhiyuan had no expression on his face. He held his hands behind his back, looking cold: "Look at it well. And... have people gathered?"

"It's already a convening, all of them are good players from Taihu Lake, and they all have great skills."

Qi Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What if the imperial envoy who secretly investigated the rebellion of Duke Wei suddenly died in Nanjing? At that time, I was afraid that Duke Wei would not be able to clean himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. This Nanjing... would be a little more chaotic. In recent years, it was because of the peace that the court was so fearless that the court regarded us as fish on the chopping board, cutting our meat, and benefiting ordinary people, but they didn't think about it. Without us, could the world be safe?"

He smiled disdainfully, but after explaining, he walked to the ancestral hall.

The Qi family's ancestral hall has many archways outside, and the tops are mostly made of large characters such as "The Family of Ji Sheng", "Guang Yao's Lintree", "Jinshi's First and Later Ministers", etc.

If you count carefully, this archway has five rooms, six pillars and eleventh floors.

It can be seen how glorious the Qi family was before.

When he entered the ancestral hall, there were countless spiritual cards. Bai Zhu Ranran and Qi Zhiyuan ate incense and knelt down straight, looking up at the tablets of the ancestors and sects. He was so crazy, as if at this moment, he was resonating with the gods and men of the ancestors and sects.

The lonely back exudes a bit of a strange aura.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi did not like the noise of the inn. Xiao Jing, who was accompanying him, had already secretly booked other guest rooms in the inn, so he let the imperial guards and the factory guards who were transferred out to live there.

Emperor Hongzhi called Fang Jifan and frowned and said, "Jifan, have you noticed it?"

Fang Jifan nodded: "I realized it."

"How?" Emperor Hongzhi said.

Fang Jifan thought about it and licked the tip of his tongue, as if the aftertaste on the taste buds had not yet disappeared: "It smells so good."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and his face pulled down: "I'm not talking about the banquet, I'm talking about that Qi Zhiyuan."

"This person?" Fang Jifan became embarrassed and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this person's mansion is grand and grand. In Nanjing, he must be a first-class wealthy family. Even if the money house is free of rent, he is still silk, silk, silk, silk, and furnishing. It can be seen that his family business is extraordinary. Such a family should not be underestimated and dare not talk about other places. At least in this Nanjing city, God knows that he has any relatives and friends. My son said, "Your Majesty should not blame each other. When I see him... I think of a thought."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "You just keep talking."

Fang Jifan said, "This person is in Nanjing and is the local emperor!"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and then laughed: "The local emperor, these three words are really a sharp point. Others say that you are talented, in my opinion, this is true."

Fang Jifan: "..."

Fang Jifan did not expect that Emperor Hongzhi had never heard of the three words "Domestic Emperor".

But after thinking about it carefully, it can be understood. After all, these three words are widely circulated among the people, but who dares to say them in front of the emperor? His Majesty naturally felt that it was particularly rare when he heard them for the first time.

Alas... Your Majesty is still too naive and knows too little.

Fang Jifan continued: "There is one thing that is very strange."

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi said.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is an imperial envoy, who is here to investigate the case of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Moreover, the other party knows the details of your Majesty's imperial envoy. Logically speaking, Qi Zhiyuan must have wanted to win over your Majesty's imperial envoy. Otherwise, if he cannot sue the Duke of Wei, he will be falsely accused and falsely accused him. He is not unaware of this. If such a major matter involving life and life, if the minister is Qi Zhiyuan, he must have to flatter you, the imperial envoy. Your Majesty asks to stay outside and will definitely find ways to keep him. Even if he does not, he will definitely make other arrangements to ensure that your Majesty's imperial envoy is under his nose or in his control."

"But he said just a few words of politeness and let His Majesty leave, and there seemed to be no intention of trying his best to keep him. The minister felt that... he might not care what His Majesty found."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's body shook and his face became more and more serious.

In fact, he kept thinking that something seemed wrong, and now... when Jing Fang Jifan reminded him, he seemed to have discovered the problem in an instant.
