Even the village chief’s house is just a shed made of mud-paste houses, but it is just a few more houses than other houses.

Guo Zhengbiao walked into the simple yard and came to the main room. He solemnly put the hat and cloak in his body, and then dusted off the sand on his trouser legs and uppers.

The magistrate Tang was wrong behind Guo Zhengbiao, so he quickly followed suit.

Zhuo Yao, who was following them, gave a wink to the boys who stayed outside the yard and mixed with the villagers. The boys immediately surrounded the village chief's house without paying attention, replacing the other boys who had been guarding Chu Qing for the whole morning.

It's too cold, so we have to take turns.

The boys' actions looked natural, no different from those villagers who came to help and watch the fun, but they could not fool Pan Dayi and Pan Qianhu, who was the Mengyuan Prefecture Council.

Pan Dayi couldn't help but envy: The only female official in the Secret Investigation Department is really not a decoration. Look at the servants of other people, they are not inferior to the full-time staff of their own, and they are very proactive.

The group of four people came into the house. Zhuo Yao stood at the door and became the "door god". He didn't even put the village chief in.

The village chief wanted to speak but stopped - his family, he would not let him in!

But it’s good that his wife is still inside, so I can always hear what these adults mean. Will our village be "involved"?

This meeting was to let these officials convey the news of Chu Qing’s return to the emperor, so Chu Qing only expressed his gratitude to them and then talked about how he was thrown on the reef island by the "Eight Winds", how he lost his direction, and wandered for a long time.

This process actually has only one sentence: "Oh, I can't look back."

Looking at Chu Qing's seemingly speechless and his thin face, several visitors sighed.

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Qing's face that was not tanned at all, for fear of revealing it: "When I found our Marquis, she had already been blown away by the sea breeze."

Chu Qing wanted to kick him, so there was no need to be a miserable person? Even if it was true, who could sympathize with him?

"Everyone, thank you for coming to visit Chu," Chu Qing thanked him again, "Chu has stopped today and will return to his fiefdom tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it."

Several people sat and didn't move.

It's not appropriate to leave after a glance.

Besides, the emperor has an order: Once Lin Yanghou is discovered, he will definitely escort her to Beijing.

Guo Zhengbiao pursed his lips, glanced at the few people, said the emperor's decree, and then ordered to the magistrate Tang: "Go back and help prepare for the ceremonial guard of Linyang."

Preparing the ceremonial war is just an excuse, but it is not necessary. Guo Zhengbiao said so just to send the magistrate Tang away, and then sent Pan Dayi: "Pan Deputy Qianhu, Guo is brave enough to ask the board office to send someone to escort him; Guo also needs to discuss the cooperation between Mengyuan Mansion and the Chu family. If you have nothing to do, go and do it first?"

Guo Zhengbiao and Pan Dayi are at the same level as the official rank, but who dares to be disrespectful to the discipline inspection department? Therefore, Guo Zhengbiao is still polite even though he wants to drive people away.

Pan Dayi was really fine. He was on behalf of the Secret Investigation Department to confirm Chu Qing’s return with his own eyes, and then waited to escort Chu Qing to the capital. Moreover, he was not familiar with Chu Qing, and Chu Qing’s identity was higher than him, so he was not very good that people would be cursed about being cursed.

Pan Dayi handed Chu Qing a set of winter regular clothes and equipment that the deputy households should have, and asked Chu Qing to sign: "I suddenly heard that you were back. I was afraid that you were incomplete with your luggage, so I brought it here. However, Lin Yanghou also knew that our secret investigation department has always been stingy. These things are all figured and you need to sign it."

Chu Qing smiled and took the bamboo tube dipped in water from Pan Dayi and signed it; then took out the waist sign, and Chu Qing's private seal was hung on the buckle of the waist sign and stamped it.

Pan Dayi seems to be a sleek person, and uses this method to test Chu Qing's identity.

In theory, Pan Dayi had never seen Chu Qing, but the Secret Investigation Department had portraits of Chu Qing and handwriting of the official letter. He should have understood it. Moreover, the prefect of Mengyuan knew Chu Qing, and there was Guo Zhengbiao there, so there should be no doubt.

Moreover, Pan Dayi almost confirmed the other person's identity in his heart as soon as he met Chu Qing - the two strands of white hair on his temples were inserted into his bun diagonally, which was so iconic.

However, the Secret Investigation Department must be cautious when doing things. Chu Qing must come up with something that can prove his identity. In fact, the waist card is the most proof of his identity.

But Pan Dayi was afraid that if Chu Qingzhen was in danger at sea, his waist card was lost and his identity could not be proved, there would always be other ways to prove it.

For example, this dipping pen is one of the legends about "Zhu Ye" in the Secret Investigation Department, so he specially brought it to verify whether Chu Qing could use it, whether he wrote from left to right, and confirmed his handwriting.

The stamp was added by Chu Qing himself, intending to show him the waist card, and also telling him: I know your thoughts, and I will cooperate.

Besides, there is not much of this set of special daggers and embroidered spring swords from the Secret Detective Department. It is not a loss to send them back to Xiaobao to play with.

"Forgive me, Deputy Chu Qianhu!" Pan Dayi said, without mentioning Chu Qing's other identities, he looked like he was doing his job, and did not give him any explanation - there were two administrative officials watching here.

County Magistrate Tang followed Pan Dayi respectfully. This was his rare opportunity to have a friendship with the Secret Investigation Department. Usually he didn't even have the chance to meet the head of the board of directors.

Guo Zhengbiao breathed a sigh of relief. When Chu Qing saw it, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with Lord Guo?"

"Um..." Guo Zhengbiao was indeed in trouble, but before he could finish what to say, Chu Qing asked first, which caught him off guard.

He wanted to remind Chu Qing about something, but he felt that his level was not enough: "Uh... this... um..."

"Mr. Guo," Chu Qing said, "I have something to say to you. If you have a business, do you want to do it? You just won't make much money?"

"Oh?" Guo Zhengbiao's thoughts have not changed yet.

Chu Qing: "That's right. During breakfast, I heard the village chief's wife's voice. Almost every fishing village in this place can't be sold? "

Guo Zhengbiao: "Oh, yes, that thing smells fishy. Locals don't buy it very much if they don't use it as a good thing;

However, when people from other places buy only fresh ones, because the dry ones are not delicious, but the fresh ones cannot be stored at all, so they have to pickle them if they want to sell them;

Salt is too expensive, so the people buy salt... Oh, don’t mind Linyanghou. Even if you control the price of fine salt to the price of coarse salt, the people can’t afford it;

Just like the fishermen here, they basically eat salt filtered out from boiling sea water themselves, the kind of browned salt they use to marinate kombat, and no one buys it;

Good salt cannot be afforded, so in the end, only some big merchants occasionally come to buy some, and they don’t encounter such opportunities a few times a year;

Even if fishermen near the sea can’t afford to buy food, no one in the county will eat it.”

Chu Qing: "The custard and seaweed in the hands of fishermen... Let's say that, I collect all the sea food and have to be dried, but the price will not be very high, is it OK?"

Guo Zhengbiao immediately said, "Okay! It's great! Fishermen have no land, so everything depends on buying. If these seafood can make money, they will be happy! But why are you collecting seafood?"
