Ma Zhiyuan had no other way.

If Ma Zhiyuan could let the emperor leave earlier, or even let the emperor leave Qizhou earlier and go back to Chang'an, Ma Zhiyuan would try his best to do other ways.

But the emperor came to investigate them.

It is absolutely impossible to leave Qizhou so easily.

Everyone dispersed, but Ma Zhiyuan's concerns still did not disappear.

He didn't understand why he was always so worried in his heart.

They have already handled everything.

But it's...

"Mr. Chen, wait a moment." As soon as Chen Qu, the magistrate of Ninggu, stepped out of the threshold, he heard Ma Zhiyuan's voice coming from behind him.

"Governor Ma." Chen Qu turned around and looked at Ma Zhiyuan.

"I will ask you, are there only those people in the emperor and his party?"

"Didn't you see that Zhao Chen?" Ma Zhiyuan spoke and asked Chen Qu.

Ma Zhiyuan was still worried that if Zhao Chen actually came with the emperor, would he find out something about them in secret?

Although Ma Zhiyuan had never seen Zhao Chen, the reputation that Zhao Chen had spread had long attracted Ma Zhiyuan's attention.

He was worried now that Zhao Chen had actually followed the emperor and had secretly arrived at the Qizhou territory.

Searching for their evidence in secret.

Chen Qu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ma Zhiyuan in confusion and said, "Didn't Governor Ma receive the news from Chang'an that Zhao Chen is still in Chang'an?"

"Why are you worried about this happening again?"

Chen Qu is puzzled.

The news that Zhao Chen is still in Chang'an was clearly told by Ma Zhiyuan.

Why is Ma Zhiyuan still worried now?

Furthermore, strong dragons cannot defeat local snakes.

Even if Zhao Chen comes to Qizhou, he still has to look at the expressions of their local officials.

Otherwise, he would be unable to move forward.

"That's not simple, Zhao Chen, is also worried that he is secretly investigating the matter in Qizhou."

"The emperor and the others are in the Ming Dynasty, we can control it, but that Zhao Chen..."

"Forget it, let everyone be careful. Don't know how you die if something happens at that time." Ma Zhiyuan left this sentence and turned around and left.

Chen Qu looked at Ma Zhiyuan's back and shook his head secretly.

He felt that Ma Zhiyuan was too careful, and his information had already said that Zhao Chen was still in Chang'an.

Moreover, Zhao Chen was not seen by the emperor.

Besides, what can happen if Zhao Chen comes?

What can be found if there is such a tight defense here?

...

The next morning.

Li Ke left the restaurant.

He had to go around to check it out, if he could detect some situations.

If you can't find out, you have to know what is going on in Ninggu County.

"Your Highness the King of Shu is going out?" As soon as Li Ke went downstairs, he saw Ninggu County Magistrate Chen Qu greeting him.

"I want to go out and see the customs and customs of Ninggu County." Li Ke nodded with a smile.

But I was thinking in my heart that there was indeed a big problem in Ninggu County.

Otherwise, as soon as he went out, Chen Qu, the magistrate of Ninggu County, would come over.

As the head of a county, is he okay to do anything?

"It just so happens that Xiaguan has nothing to do today. Why not let Xiaguan accompany His Highness the King of Shu for a while."

"It's also good to introduce the situation in Ninggu County to His Royal Highness the King of Shu on the way." Chen Qu said with a smile.

What he said was also a cover-up for himself.

Li Ke knew that he should not think about walking around Ninggu County alone.

"If this is the case, of course it's best." Li Ke nodded, and then took a step out.

Chen Qu nodded with the person behind him, and then followed Li Ke.

"His Royal Highness Shu, in front of us is the most prosperous street in Ninggu County, but recently, many places have been sealed because of the renovation of the road."

"Your Highness the King of Shu will go here." Chen Qu followed Li Ke and explained to him.

Then he reached out and invited Li Ke to take another road.

Li Ke looked at the bustling street in front of him, and could only vaguely see a few people.

Not to mention, these people are dressed very well.

Li Ke didn't know if these people were found by Chen Qu to act for him.

Li Ke did not insist on going ahead, but chose to walk towards the path Chen Qu chose for himself.

Li Ke knew very well that he should not think about finding any evidence against them under Chen Qu's surveillance.

"How many years have the magistrate of Chen County been in Ninggu County?" Li Ke spoke and asked Chen Qu.

"It's been five years." Chen Qu replied with a smile.

"In five years, I should be promoted." Li Ke nodded and asked again.

"It's not that simple. I'm going to say that your highness said that I originally hoped to go up this year, but this happened to Qizhou again."

"There are also a few people in Ninggu County, Xiaguan, who are not aware of their lives. Alas..." Chen Qu sighed, as if he was really worried about this matter.

Li Ke looked at Chen Qu, then smiled and said, "My father also saw the achievements of Chen County Magistrate in Ninggu County yesterday, and he praised Chen County Magistrate very much."

"If it is expected, County Magistrate Chen will be promoted soon."

When Chen Qu heard this, he did not show any excitement on his face.

He just smiled and said a few words of loyalty to the emperor.

Li Ke didn't say anything anymore. When the two walked to the end of the street, they saw a large number of people renovating the road in front of them.

The houses on both sides of the road are covered with wooden boards, tightly fitted.

There is no way to see the situation on both sides.

"Your Highness, the road has come to an end. There are roads in front of you, so let's turn back." Chen Qu and Li Ke advised.

Li Ke wanted to see what was happening behind the wooden board. Before he could get close, he saw a pool of smelly water flying towards him.

Li Ke quickly took a few steps back.

"Didn't you see the road building here? You are so close to you, you are asking for it." The road building craftsman shouted coldly.

Li Ke didn't say anything, Chen Qu walked forward and shouted, "Bold, this is His Royal Highness of the King of Shu from Chang'an. Do you dare to speak like this? Be careful of your life."

When the craftsman saw that the person coming was County Magistrate Chen Qu, he smiled at the time.

"Don't blame me, the young man only thinks he is a free boy who has nothing to do."

"I don't know it's His Highness, King of Shu."

"There is very filthy here, so please ask the county magistrate to take His Highness the King of Shu to somewhere else." The craftsman smiled.

Li Ke discovered that the craftsman in front of him was not afraid of his identity as the King of Shu.

The Prince of the Tang Dynasty is just a legendary figure to ordinary people.

They can't see it.

But the status is noble, and ordinary people will not just have this attitude when they hear their identity.

Other craftsmen are also doing their own things quietly.

It seems that I have not noticed the situation here at all.

It is obviously very abnormal here.

Li Ke looked around and remembered the situation around him.

"Mr. Chen, we'll go back, there's nothing to visit here." Li Ke spoke.

Chen Qu showed apologies and said, "These guys are used to being unruly. Your Highness has a lot, don't take it to heart."
