Several pond newspapers were placed on the table, and two of them were opened. Qiu Zude was stunned when he looked at the opened pond newspaper.

His Royal Highness went to the Tangbao of Nanjing’s governor. Qiu Zude read it several times. He had a deep impression of His Royal Highness. He remembered that once in the morning court, the cabinet had a fierce debate over the collection of trade taxes, and even the emperor was involved. His Royal Highness, who participated in the morning court, kept watching silently without saying a word, with confusion and dodging in his eyes.

The Tang newspaper about His Royal Highness going to Nanjing to supervise the country is too simple. Qiu Zude saw the clue from it, that is, His Royal Highness does not seem to have any actual power. The so-called traveling to Nanjing to supervise the country is better to go to Nanjing for inspection, and then go back to the capital after a walk.

However, the news from the capital a few days ago surprised Qiu Zude. His Royal Highness actually insisted on investigating the military department's military department, Shin-hoon, and personally led the Jinyiwei to search nearly one million taels of silver from Shin-hoon's mansion. The reason for inspecting Shin-hoon was that he opposed the emperor's move to Nanjing.

Guang Shiheng is still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Qiu Zude's ability was recognized by the emperor and the court. When he was an official in the Inspectorate, every impeachment memorial of Qiu Zude was reasonable and convincing. The facts listed in it could stand the inspection and were placed in Huguang as the inspector's censor. He paid a lot of attention to people's livelihood and made achievements in this regard. He also responded well in the local area. Later, he returned to the capital and served as the right assistant censor. For a period of time, he even presided over the daily government affairs of the Inspector's office.

To outsiders, he went to Shandong to serve as governor, but Qiu Zude did not have such a thought. He was very aware of the poison encountered in various parts of Shandong. After 15 years of Chongzhen, Dorgon, Prince Rui of the Jin Dynasty, led a large army and almost swept across the entire Shandong. The world was filled with sorrow. Shandong suffered unprecedented destruction, and its tragic level was far greater than that of the Denglai Mutiny.

After becoming the governor of Shandong, Qiu Zude tried his best to restore peace to all parts of Shandong. He wrote memorials to the court several times, requesting to exempt many places in Shandong from taxes, and encouraged farming to minimize refugees in Shandong. Unfortunately, the Northern Zhili was uneasy and the bandits were in chaos everywhere, which made Shandong unable to calm down. The domineering of Shandong General Liu Zeqing made Qiu Zude furious.

Qiu Zude had long been disgusted with Liu Zeqing's behavior, and had impeached Liu Zeqing in a secret memorial. However, he did not have much influence in the court, nor had a strong background, and there was no following in his impeachment memorial.

This made Qiu Zude see the reality clearly. He, as the governor of Shandong, was nothing more than coming to stabilize the situation in Shandong. He did not have much power. The major matters in Shandong were still remotely controlled by some people in the court.

Three days ago, Dezhou magistrate Han Ye submitted a document, angrily scolding Shandong General Liu Zeqing for forcing food, grass and money in Dezhou, resulting in the small amount of grain stored in Dezhou's treasury and charity warehouse. Han Ye begged the governor's yamen to uphold justice. Qiu Zude, who was not interested in Liu Zeqing, made up his mind to impeach Liu Zeqing again.

Qiu Zude was meticulous in his mind and did not do anything unnecessary. The current situation in the capital was critical. Liu Zeqing held heavy troops, which was the support of the emperor and the capital. If he was not sure about impeaching Liu Zeqing, he would not do anything at all.

If you want to do it, you must do it well. After careful consideration, Qiu Zude turned his attention to the matter of His Royal Highness going to Nanjing to supervise the country. His Royal Highness going to Nanjing to supervise the country will definitely pass by Shandong and Jinan Prefectures. If the impeachment memorial can get the support of His Royal Highness, you will definitely be more confident.

The special situation made Qiu Zude more sensitive. Since His Royal Highness can take action to punish the military department in the capital, Shiheng-hyung, he may support himself in impeaching Liu Zeqing. Besides, Cabinet Minister Fan Jingwen, Minister of Works, and Li Banghua, the left censor, followed His Royal Highness. If he received the support of Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua, Qiu Zude would be more confident in impeaching Liu Zeqing.

"Sir Qiu, someone outside the mansion asked for a meeting, they must meet him directly."

Qiu Zude looked at the governor who came to report and spoke.

"Who is the person who wants to see me? Have you asked?"

"Report to Lord Qiu, the officials asked, but they were unwilling to speak, saying that they would only speak when they saw the master alone."

Qiu Zude felt a little angry. When he quickly suppressed it, some gentry and wealthy families in Jinan Prefecture came to ask for a visit, and some of them were just for money. Qiu Zude, whose foundation was not very stable, generally avoided these things so as not to cause discussion from the outside world.

"How many people are dressing up?"

"Report to the adults, there are two people wearing ordinary clothes, one of whom was wearing a hat and covered with a veil."

Qiu Zude stood up and looked at the governor.

"Have they said where to meet me?"

"They said it would be better to meet the adults in the wing room."

Qiu Zude lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and spoke to the governor.

"I understand. Take them to the wing room and wait. I will be there in a while."

After the governor left, Qiu Zude looked at the Tangbao on the table. He picked up the Tangbao that His Royal Highness went to Nanjing to supervise the country, thinking about something.

The person who came to see him with a veil covered on his face was the first time Qiu Zude met. Such a person should have a special identity. No ordinary citizen dared to do this. If the governor gets angry, ordinary people can't afford it.

Another point is very important. People ask for a separate visit, that is, what the visitor said is unwilling to let the other people in the governor's yamen know. In this case, either they send money to themselves or they are unwilling to disclose their origins.

A few minutes passed, Qiu Zude put down the pond newspaper in his hand, walked out of the door, and slowly headed towards the wing room.

The governor was waiting not far outside the wing room and saw Qiu Zude walking over, and he hurriedly bowed.

"Mr. Qiu, Xiaguan took the two of them to the wing room, and they were waiting in the wing room."

Qiu Zude nodded.

"I understand, go and do it."

Seeing the governor disappearing, Qiu Zude walked towards the door of the wing room.

The two soldiers guarding the door of the wing immediately saluted after seeing Qiu Zude.

The sergeant is responsible for protecting Qiu Zude's safety. If there is any disturbance in the wing room, the sergeant will rush in immediately. There are more than ten sergeants patrolling around the wing room. If an accident occurs, they will rush over in the shortest time.

Of course, anyone entering the governor's yamen will be inspected at the door and will not be allowed to carry any weapons. If the weapons are found, they will be detained immediately and detained in a prison.

Qiu Zude entered the wing room and saw the two people standing up, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

There is no man wearing a hat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic spirit on his face. You can tell at a glance that he is a martial artist.

"I'm asking for my visit, is there anything wrong?"

The man with the hat hugged and clasped his fists before speaking.

"We have come to see Lord Qiu at the order of the master..."

Qiu Zude's eyes suddenly widened, and he could still hear the eunuch's voice. Only the emperor, the prince, the prince or the prince could have eunuchs around him. The emperor could not come to Jinan. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Jinan city was captured by the Later Jin Tartars. King De Zhu Youshu was plundered and killed by the Later Jin Tartars. The royal palace was destroyed. There were no princes and princes in Jinan. The rest was His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness the Prince went to Nanjing to report the Tang newspaper for a long time.

After stabilizing his emotions, Qiu Zude spoke to the person wearing a hat and a veil.

"I know, but I don't know where I should meet your master."

"Mr. Qiu is very smart. My master is resting in the inn. Please ask Master Qiu to move forward. However, Lord Qiu must not disclose this matter and must not tell anyone. If the news is leaked, my master will never give up."

Without asking, Qiu Zude already knew that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had arrived in Jinan Prefecture City.

His Highness the Crown Prince's car was light and did not disturb the place. After coming to Jinan Prefecture City, he also met himself alone, which gave Qiu Zude a strange feeling.

"I know, I will not tell you about it. I don't know when I will see your master."

"If Lord Qiu is convenient, it's best to go with me."

Qiu Zude nodded and clasped his fists at the masked man.

"Okay, I will make some arrangements now. The two of you are waiting in the wing room. After the arrangement is completed, come over immediately and follow them..."

Qiu Zude quickly left the wing room and hurried towards the lobby.

In the wing room, Shen Chang looked at Qiu Zhizhong and spoke.

"Mr. Qiu, don't say it, Your Highness's prediction is too accurate. This Shandong Governor, Lord Qiu, really understands the truth."

Qiu Zude nodded.

"Mr. Shen, who is the Crown Prince? You must be able to accurately predict everything. Okay, you and I must also prepare well. Don't let the people in the Governor's yamen pay attention later. His Highness said that we must be low-key, never reveal our identities, and not let anyone in the Governor's yamen notice it."

Shen Chang nodded and shook his head.

"Mr. Qiu, don't worry about this. His Highness the Crown Prince has already made all arrangements. There is a special carriage waiting outside the Governor's Office. We left the Governor's Office and got on the carriage directly. There are guards outside the Governor's Office staring at him. If someone follows us, the guards will definitely take action. As for the Governor's Office, our family has confirmed that Lord Qiu has already known that the Crown Prince has come to Jinan Prefecture City, and he will definitely find a way to keep it secret."

After saying this, Shen Chang looked at Qiu Zhizhong again and couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Qiu, Your Highness the Crown Prince is so amazing. You have predicted everything and arranged everything properly. It is really comfortable to follow Your Highness to do things next to Your Highness."

Qiu Zhizhong nodded and spoke in a proud tone.
