Chapter 455: Take refuge

It's going to be late.

Snow is flying.

Chen Bingzhong, the county magistrate of Qichi County, arrived in Qichi County with the fourth princess Ning Chuchu and his party.

The news had already been sent to the desk of the county magistrate Zhang Debao. He had already stood outside the north gate of Qichi County with the three yamen runners in Qichi County...o

After working with the county magistrate Chen Bingzhong for many years, he certainly understood Chen Bingzhong's intention-

Qichi County did not meet the female bandit in Jiangbei, but instead met the ceremonial guard of the Fourth Princess who came to Jiangnan to visit.

Of course, there is no need to fight this battle. Even if it reaches the ears of the Grand Governor Song Shiming, he cannot blame himself!

He did not rebel blatantly, so he must be respectful to His Highness the Fourth Princess of Ningguo.

Of course, after treating this, you still have to send this god away as soon as possible.

Zhang Debao came to welcome the ceremonial guard of His Highness the Fourth Princess. At the same time, he also sent people to Pingjiang City with great speed.

This matter must be known to the Governor.

The Grand Governor knew, and the Grand Master of the Mansion would know.

As for what their attitude towards the Fourth Princess... it was a fight between gods and immortals, and it had nothing to do with his small county magistrate.

As for whether this fourth princess is true or not... He is a small county magistrate, but he has not had the blessing to see the true face of His Highness the Fourth Princess. But since he is under the banner of the Fourth Princess, of course, he can only treat her as if she is really the Fourth Princess.

So, with the welcome of Zhang Debao and others, Ning Chuchu's team really entered Qichi County like this.

The county government office is too small to accommodate these 500 people.

Fortunately, the county school has not yet started, so except for Kaiyang and the others, the rest of them lived in the county school.

Ning Chuchu brought six people from Kaiyang to the county government with Zhang Debao.

The backyard of the county government office has already been vacated, and all the items have been replaced with new ones.

Even the charcoal fire in the house is reborn.

Zhang Debao ordered his servants to fulfill his friendship as a landlord.

Ning Chuchu has been really tired these days, and she has not rejected Zhang Debao's welcome.

Under the service of Zhiquan, she took a comfortable hot shower and changed into the princess's clothes she brought in the package.

When she stood in front of Zhang Debao and Chen Bingzhong again, she was completely different from what she had just now!

There was no trace of the aura of the female bandit on her body.

She looks very dignified.

Very elegant and luxurious.

Zhang Debao felt a little sad. With this demeanor alone, he had already firmly believed that this girl must be the fourth princess who was replaced by a false name.

He and Chen Bingzhong knelt down with a thud.

"My minister, Zhang Debao, Chen Bingzhong, pay homage to His Highness the Princess!"

This is a formal reception.

This is also the fear of the imperial power in their hearts—

Even though the emperor is gone, the awe of the royal family rooted in their hearts still exists.

Ning Chuchu sat on the chair, raised her eyes and said softly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"

The two stood up and never dared to raise their heads to look at Ning Chuchu again.

"I have remembered your name."

"When I return to the palace, I will have a reward for you."

"I am hungry, and they are all hungry too... You two go prepare some food... Don't be too delicate, just fill your stomach."

Zhang Debao quickly bowed and said humbly: "Report to the princess, I have arranged for Baiweixuan's chef to cook the meal. If you want to come, please deliver it."

His body bent lower and said, "Qichi County is a small place, and it can only have some simple food, which is far from the food in the palace."

"I am very frightened. If it doesn't suit your highness's taste... I'd like to forgive me."

Ning Chuchu glanced at Zhang Debao, twisted her body and took the teacup from the table beside her, lifted the cover and scraped it gently on the edge of the cup, and said:

"I won't blame you, but I want to know one thing."

"...Your Highness, please tell me, I know everything!"

Ning Chuchu took a sip and the tea tasted good.

"Jiangbei Prefecture, one thousand officers and soldiers from each of the five counties and counties were escorted hundreds of thousands of dans of food and grass to come across the river."

Zhang Debao's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Ning Chuchu say again:

"That kind of thing looks like a war."

Ning Chuchu put the teacup on the table and raised her eyebrows: "I am a little confused. If a war really breaks out and the land in Jiangnan is rich, we need to use food and grass to support the front line. Shouldn't this be sent to the border of Ningguo?"

"How could it be sent to this Jiangnan hinterland?"

"Is there a big war in this Jiangnan area...?"

When Zhang Debao asked these questions, his face turned pale.

He thought to himself that you had killed all the officers and soldiers, and you had robbed and sold so much food and grass, and turned into silver notes and put them in your own pocket.

What's the big deal in Jiangnan? Could it be that you don't know yet?

Since I knew it, but I asked again, the meaning is different.

If you can't betray the governor, you can only pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Zhang Debaochi showed an extremely surprised expression:

"What Your Highness said... Qichi County is really remote. Among the eight counties and counties in Pingjiang Prefecture, Qichi County is the farthest from Pingjiang City and the poorest... Therefore, the officials have never heard of what Your Highness said."

"But... if there were officers and soldiers from Jiangbei Prefecture escort food and grass across the river, it might be that they would send food to Pingjiang City."

"Now the Regent has just taken charge. I heard that the treasury is empty. Since Jiangnan Road is the richest place in Ningguo, he has been favored by the emperor over the years."

"Now the country is suffering. I guess Lord Yu is going to Kyoto to share the worries of the Regent's regent?"

Ning Chuchu laughed.

She didn't pursue anything anymore.

"So, I have some misunderstandings."

"Yu Daotai is intent. After I return to the palace, I will tell the Regent. Now that the court lacks talents, it is hard for the Regent to transfer him to Kyoto as a minister and minister."

"You guys go down."

"I'm tired."

"After the meal is ready, just ask the servant to send it in."

Zhang Debao and Chen Bingzhong looked at each other, and they all bowed and left.

Kaiyang whispered to their backs: "Your Highness, do you want to kill them?"

Ning Chuchu shook her head, "Tell all the sisters, have a good meal and a good sleep, tomorrow morning... let's set off!"

County government office.

Zhang Debao and Chen Bingzhong sat at the tea table.

Zhang Debao took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his face.

"Your Highness, it's not simple!"

Chen Bingzhong nodded, "I know that I asked, but the intention was to shock the snake. Fortunately, I am worried about Zhou Xiang!"

"She obviously already knows the incident in Jiangnan Road, sir..."

Chen Bingzhong leaned over and showed a hint of worry in his eyes: "Mr. Yu, Governor Song, and almost all the officials in our Jiangnan Road officialdom don't want to die!"

"This is already being done. After mobilizing so many officers and soldiers, it must be impossible to hide it... But I didn't hear that the Regent returned to Kyoto!"

"Sir, there is something wrong here!"

Zhang Debao was startled and leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean... the Regent is already prepared?"

Chen Bingzhong nodded: "The official thinks that the fourth princess appeared in Jiangbei Prefecture and accurately intercepted the food and supplies of the officers and soldiers of the five routes... This is probably not accidental, but the harbinger of the regent to design a harbinger against our Jiangnan Road!"

"Then... drug the Fourth Princess and the others and killed them?"

"No! No!"

"Sir... I have a heartfelt word from the bottom of my heart. I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"You and I have worked together for many years, know each other's roots. What else should I not talk about? Let's listen."

Chen Bingzhong's voice was lowered:

"Sir, I think it's the last moment to find a way out for ourselves!"

“How to find it?”

"Feed to this princess!"

"...What are we qualified to be taken care of by His Royal Highness?"

"Sell her a message."

"What news?"

"News from Zhouzhuang!"

"..." Zhang Debao suddenly sat up straight and his eyes widened.
