    Yingchuan County, Yangdi County.

    This is the area near Luoyang.

    Wang Qi and Zhao Shao hurried all the way across Yanzhou to Yingchuan.

    There are many thieves and bandits in Yanzhou today, and everything is in chaos.  Wang Qi and his party came across several groups of thieves on the way, but the strength of these thieves was average and they were all easily dealt with.

    When Wang Qi and his party entered Yangzhai County, they were getting closer and closer to the county seat.  Wang Qi then rode to the carriage where Zhao Shao was riding and said: "Father-in-law, we are approaching Yangdi County. When we reach the county seat, we will enter the city and stop for a while. I want to enter the city and pay a visit to the Zhu family."

    "Can!"

    Zhao Shao answered directly.

    When Zhu Shanchang left Yingchuan with Wang Qi, he took up a post in Nanyang County.

    After a year or two, Zhu Shanchang didn't have time to come back, so now, Wang Qi went to Zhu's house to visit.

    Visited Zhu Chen on behalf of Zhu Shanchang.

    Zhuge Feng said with a smile: "I think back when we passed through Yangzhai County, the Xun family and other major families all supported money and grain. But these people were actually a bit pretentious and thought they were aloof. That is to say, Mr. Zhu Chen was very decisive.  Directly arranging for his grandson Zhu Shanchang to follow his second brother, Zhu Shanchang's future is now possible. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhu is really discerning."

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "The major families in Yingchuan are dominated by the Xun family. Although the Zhu family is less famous and powerful, their vision is not bad. In the future, the Zhu family will definitely be the largest family in Yingchuan."

    Zhuge Feng nodded and said: "Zhu Shanchang has become more and more proficient in handling government affairs. Speaking of which, although he had great ideas in handling government affairs, he was quite unsophisticated. In a short period of time, he stabilized the situation. It is indeed not easy."

    Wang Qidao: "It is my luck to have Zhu Shanchang. When it comes to taking charge of the place, appeasing the people, and providing soldiers with food and pay, Zhu Shanchang is indeed very powerful and does a very good job. As a talent in internal affairs, he is very powerful."

    The two chatted and continued on their way on horseback.

    Fortunately, it is March, so it is easier to travel, and the sun is not too hot. When the group arrived at the county seat of Yangdi County, they went directly into the city and found an inn to stay.

    Zhao Shao and Zhuge Feng stayed in the inn temporarily. Wang Qi took Xia Houhu to Zhu's house.

    Wang Qi came to the door of Zhu's house, and Xia Houhu went directly to knock on the door.

    Not long after, the door opened.

    A concierge stuck his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

    Wang Qi stepped forward and said, "Please inform Duke Zhu that Wang Qi is here to visit."

    The concierge frowned, shook his head and said: "There is no pig boy here, let's go."

    Wang Qidao: "I'm looking for Zhu Chen."

    The concierge suddenly laughed and snorted: "Boy, Zhu Chen has not lived here for a long time. Zhu Chen has now lived in Xicheng. If you want to find someone, go to Xicheng."

    Bang Dang!

    The concierge turned back and closed the door.

    Wang Qi was a little surprised when he was rejected.  This is obviously Zhu Chen's residence, why did Zhu Chen go to Xicheng?

    He doesn¡¯t understand the current situation.

    Wang Qi thought about the concierge's appearance just now, and thought that there must be something wrong with the Zhu family.  Otherwise, Zhu Chen would not have moved directly to Xicheng.

    There has been no news about Zhu Shanchang.

    what happened?

    Wang Qi and Xia Houhu walked out. At this time, he walked directly to a nearby shop and asked about Zhu Chen's situation and location.  The shop owner didn't know Zhu Chen's specific situation.

    After Wang Qi generally knew where Zhu Chen lived, he went to Xicheng.

    After spending some time, Wang Qi came to Xicheng.

    Compared with Beicheng and other areas, Xicheng in Yangzhai County is inferior.  After all, this area is mainly populated by ordinary people.

    Wang Qi made some inquiries and found Zhu Chen¡¯s residence.

    This house is not spacious.

    "But although it is ordinary, it is not bad, at least it is still better than ordinary people's houses.

    Xia Houhu knocked on the door again at this time. After a while, the door creaked open, and it was the old housekeeper of the Zhu family who opened the door.  In the past, when Wang Qi went to Zhu's house, the old housekeeper met Wang Qi.

    So, the housekeeper knows Wang Qi.

    The housekeeper was very surprised and asked: "Magistrate Wang, why are you here?"

    Wang Qi thought. Judging from the name of the housekeeper, Zhu Shan might not know the specific situation even now.  Otherwise, the housekeeper would not call him the county magistrate.

    Wang Qi said?: "I want to go back to Chang'an and pass by Yangzhai County. I'm here to see my lord."

    The housekeeper waved his hand and said, "Please, Magistrate Wang!"

    He took it into the house.

    Today¡¯s houses are simple and simple, not very luxurious.  The entire courtyard of the house is not wide, it is just a normal three-entry courtyard.

    The housekeeper took Wang Qi to the backyard.

    Zhu Chen is now a little older.

    "But the spirit is still strong.

    He is now sitting in the yard, basking in the sun and reading a book.

    Zhu Chen heard the sound of footsteps and looked up. Seeing Wang Qi coming, he looked very surprised and said quickly: "County Magistrate Wang, aren't you serving as magistrate in Nanyang County? Why are you in Yangzhai County now? My grandson  Shan Chang, have I ever come back with you?"

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Shan is very busy now and can't get away from it."

    Zhu Chen waved his hands and said: "Sit!"

    Wang Qi and Zhu Chen took their seats.

    The old housekeeper hurriedly went to make tea, while Xia Houhu stood obediently behind Wang Qi.

    Wang Qi said: "Zhu Gong, I went to your old residence before, why did you change the place now? Something happened at home, so you moved to Xicheng."

    "well¡­¡­"

    When Zhu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

    Wang Qidao: "What's going on?"

    Zhu Chen said: "Mr. Wang, let's not talk about the family scandal, so don't ask any questions."

    Wang Qi shook his head and said: "That won't work. I have something to do when I enter the court now. When I leave Chang'an and return to Qingzhou, I will see Shan Chang. What happened in his family, you always don't tell, and he doesn't either.  You know, but I don¡¯t tell you, how can I behave like that?¡±

    After a pause, Wang Qi said: "Tell me what is going on."

    Zhu Chen said: "In the past, when the magistrate Wang passed through Yangzhai County, didn't I ask Shan Chang to go to Nanyang with the magistrate? Afterwards, he was often ridiculed by Xun Zhen and other people."

    "In fact, the Zhu family is vaguely ostracized by all the major families. If that's the case, then that's it. It's not really a big deal. Anyway, my Zhu family doesn't rely on them to make a living."

    "It's just that later on, my son Zhu Zhi was plotted against. He lost money in the casino and owed a huge amount of money. As a result, I lost money, and a lot of my family's property was sold, as well as my old house.  , so moved here.¡±

    "Actually, it's just that the Zhu family is not as good as it used to be."

    "My life is pretty good."

    Zhu Chen said: "After all, the Zhu family still has so much land, so they have no worries about food and clothing for the time being."

    Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and said: "Mr. Zhu, your Zhu family has been ostracized. Immediately afterwards, something went wrong with your son. Could it be that this is a plan by the major families in Yingchuan?"

    Zhu Chen said: "I don't know. After all, there are no clues and I can't find out. Especially the people who run the casino are not locals, but are run by businessmen from other places. They just have some connections with the major families in Yingchuan. Besides, my son also  It is an indisputable fact that I really like gambling.¡±

    Wang Qi nodded and asked: "Mr. Zhu, do you need me to take action?"

    "unnecessary!"

    Zhu Chen shook his head and said: "The family is doing well now, and there are no problems. So at the moment, I don't worry about anything. What's more, the family is more depressed and there are fewer dandies in the family. This is actually beneficial to the Zhu family and will not  Everyone is arrogant."

    Wang Qidao: "You are quite open-minded."

    Zhu Chen said: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only accept it. There is no use in blaming others."

    After a pause, Zhu Chen said: "County Magistrate Wang, how is my dear grandson doing under your command now?"

    Wang Qi had a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Zhu, I am not the magistrate of a county now. Before that, I was the prime minister of Langya Kingdom. Now I have been transferred to the court and serve as the Minister of War."

    "Hiss!"

    Zhu Chen¡¯s eyes suddenly widened.

    You must know that Wang Qi has been to Nanyang for only a little more than a year.  Suddenly, he became the Prime Minister of Langya and was transferred to the court as Minister of War.

    The speed is too fast.
