Quickly wear "I am the empress"

But one afternoon, news came that a beautiful girl had arrived in Suzhou city.

Many people couldn't help but be curious after hearing this rumor.

What a beautiful girl she is, so that everyone who meets her can't help but praise her.

After wandering around the city outside, a group of people returned to the inn exhausted.

Xu Zhong handed the account book he obtained during the day to Zhiyu, "Your Majesty, this is the account book I copied out today at the Inspector's Mansion."

Wen Zhiyu looked at Liu Siyou who was standing aside. Liu Siyou nodded slightly, took the account book and went to the side to read.

Di Renjie looked at Xiang Zhiyu with some worry: "Your Majesty, can we find corrupt officials if we investigate like this?"

Zhiyu nodded solemnly, "The news that we want to investigate corrupt officials has long been spread by people with intentions."

"Right now, we can't alert the enemy."

"We can only check it secretly."

"Our carriage on the surface is going to the Yellow River Road."

News came from the people over there that there was a sudden fire in the accounting room of the Imperial Envoy's Mansion on Huanghe Road.

Hearing this, Di Renjie frowned, "How can such a coincidence happen in the world? Someone must have started this fire."

Zhiyu nodded, "That's right."

"The fire is so strange that it's hard not to make people suspicious."

"We'd better be more cautious in Jiangnan East Road."

"I don't want Jiangnan Dongdao's account book to be burned down."

The next day, Cheng Huaimo and Xu Zhong secretly investigated the inspector's accounting office, while Zhiyu and Di Renjie continued to show off in the city.

In the afternoon, Di Renjie took Zhiyu through several alleys and finally stopped in front of a noodle stall.

Due to his outside status, Di Renjie said with a smile: "When I came here for business a few years ago, I accidentally ate his noodles. It tasted very good."

"My uncle will bring you here to try it today."

Hearing this, Zhiyu joked: "This money..."

Now that Di Renjie has money, he naturally no longer looks like he was fussing over things at that time. He waved his hand grandly, "Uncle brings you here to eat, can you still give me money?"

As he said that, he looked at Liu Siyou who was following Zhiyu, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, have a bowl too, I'll treat you to it."

Hearing this, Liu Siyou smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sir."

"Hey, guest sir, it's you."

The owner of the noodle shop stared at Di Renjie for a long time, then recognized him and greeted him with a smile.

When the restaurant owner recognized him, Di Renjie smiled and said, "I came here many years ago, you still remember me."

The noodle shop owner nodded, "Remember, of course I remember."

"My guest, although you have lost weight now, I can still recognize the old man."

Hearing what the noodle shop owner said, Zhiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, it seems you came here often before."

Di Renjie nodded: "The noodles made by the boss are delicious and the portions are sufficient. When I was doing business here, I would come here every two or three days."

"That's it."

"Then it seems that the noodles here are really delicious. I will have to try them in the future."

The boss looked at Di Renjie with a smile, "Sir, is this your daughter? She is so handsome."

Di Renjie waved his hand: "I look like this, and now I have such a handsome daughter."

"This child belongs to my brother's family."

When the boss heard this, he looked at Di Renjie's square face and figure, then at Zhiyu's good-looking appearance, and nodded clearly: "That's right."

"Sir, with your figure, you shouldn't be able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter."

Upon hearing the boss's words, the smile on Di Renjie's face froze instantly. He felt that he should not have talked to the boss just now.

Zhiyu's Liu Siyou had a hard time holding back her laughter. Zhiyu smiled and said, "Boss, you are wrong."

"My uncle's daughter is much more beautiful than me."

The boss was a little surprised when he heard this: "Really?"

Zhiyu nodded and said seriously: "This is natural."

"Don't look at my uncle like this now. My father said that when he was young, he was the most handsome man in the world."

"When he was crowned, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage broke down the threshold of the family."

The boss was a little surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I see, it seems that I am shallow."

As he said that, the boss's noodles were also cooked.

After the boss brought the noodles, Di Renjie stopped him, "When I came here a few years ago, I heard that a bridge was going to be built in the west of the city. Has the bridge been built now?"

Hearing this, the boss shook his head and said, "No, a few years ago we talked about building a bridge, but it never was built. I don't know why."

Hearing this, Di Renjie frowned slightly, "You haven't returned it yet?"

"I also said that I would take my niece to the west of the city, but now it seems that there is no chance.

Wen Yanzhiyu was a little puzzled: "Uncle, can't we go to the west of the city without building a bridge?"

The boss sighed, "Young lady, you don't know. There is a river between the west of the city and here."

"For so many years, there has been only one road leading here from the west of the city."

"But the road is too far. If you want to get to the city, you have to take a big detour to the bridge, which is very inconvenient."

"A few years ago, the government said it would build the bridge, but until now, there has been no movement from the government."

"I want to come to this bridge, but I'm afraid I won't be able to build it."

Hearing this, Di Renjie frowned calmly and continued to ask: "Boss, I am here this time to do some business."

"I wonder how the taxes have been in recent years?"

Hearing this, the boss smiled and said: "The government has not raised taxes in the past two years."

Di Renjie: "Isn't it exempt?"

The boss was puzzled, "Why should we waive the charge?"

"Don't you always have to pay taxes?"

After hearing the boss's words, Zhiyu and Di Renjie looked at each other.

After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, in order to promote economic development, the taxes of small traders were directly exempted for three years.

The boss continues to pay taxes, which shows that the officials here have not followed the decrees issued by the court.

After eating the noodles, Zhiyu and Di Renjie went to many shops. Di Renjie asked a lot about local tax issues under the pretext of preparing to do business here.

After coming out of a jewelry store, everyone looked a little solemn.

The imperial court issued a tax-free edict, but there was no tax-free shop in Jiangnan East Road.

It seems that corruption here in Jiangnan is more serious than they imagined.

At this moment, an extraordinary-looking man came in a hurry. He didn't even look at Zhiyu and the others who were standing in front of him, and rushed straight into him.

Before Liu Siyou could take action, the boy following Di Renjie stepped forward and blocked the man.

The boy frowned, "What's wrong with you? You almost bumped into my young lady."

Hearing what the young man said, the man came back to his senses and quickly said, "I'm really sorry. The young man was just thinking about something and accidentally bumped into everyone."
