Chapter 810 Impersonating an Imperial Envoy
Shopkeeper Sun was overwhelmed with emotion. It was exactly as he thought.
"Shopkeeper Sun, you don't have to rush back to me. You can go back and think about it. I have lived in the capital for a long time. If Shopkeeper Sun is willing to work for me, you can move your family to the capital. I will send someone to settle you down and will definitely not treat you unfairly.
Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to. I will never force anyone.”
"Please allow me to go back and discuss this with my family, as I am afraid my mother will find it hard to leave her hometown."
"Go!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.
After integrating all the account books, Jiang Youzhen recorded them all. He still had to consider how to write memorials and case files when the time came.
I don’t know what’s going on in Jiangling. After thinking about it, Jiang Youzhen felt that things here were almost done. It would be better to set off for Jiangling the day after tomorrow and leave the finishing work here to Qin Yandong.
Jiang Youzhen was just preparing to take a day off tomorrow, but he didn't expect to be awakened by an urgent knock on the door not long after he fell asleep.
"Sir! Something terrible has happened!" Qing Lang's voice rang out from outside the door.
Jiang Youzhen was immediately awakened from her sleep, she got dressed immediately and opened the door.
"Why are you so flustered?" Jiang Youzhen asked with a frown.
"Sir, we sent four guards to escort Lord Tao to Jiangling, but we didn't expect that Lord Tao would disappear once we arrived in Jiangling. Jiang Shou came back with a report, and he is outside the door right now."
Jiang Youzhenci's heart skipped a beat. Tao Chendong was asked by her and the emperor to come. If something happened, how would she explain when she returned?
"Call Jiang Shou here quickly!"
Jiang Shou was brought in soon, his face was weather-beaten and he looked haggard.
"Sir, Sir Tao is missing!"
"What's the matter? You don't have to be anxious, just tell me slowly." Jiang Youzhen brought the man into the house and poured him a bowl of tea.
Jiang Shou didn't care about his chapped lips, and without even sitting down, he said anxiously: "Originally, we traveled all the way to Jiangling very smoothly. Lord Tao said he would visit Lord Lu, the Transport Commissioner, first, but we thought it would be better to contact Prince Li first.
But Lord Tao insisted on going first, and he looked very anxious. We couldn't persuade him, so we decided that three of us would escort him, and one of us would stay behind to contact the Crown Prince Li. "
Jiang Youzhen nodded and motioned for him to speak slowly.
"Master Tao is very familiar with Jiangling. He planned to take us to the restaurant for dinner first, and then go to Master Lu's house. But in the restaurant, Master Tao said he wanted to go to the toilet. I wanted to follow him, but he insisted that he didn't need to, so I could only follow him from a distance.
Unexpectedly, after he entered the toilet, I waited outside for a long time, but there was no sign of him. "
"In other words, he was lost in the toilet of the restaurant?" Jiang Youzhen pondered and had a guess in his mind.
"Yes! We searched the entire restaurant, but couldn't find Lord Tao. Later we went to Lord Lu's house to inquire, but we didn't dare to reveal our identities, so we went to the doorman. The doorman said that Lord Lu was not at home the day before, and no one came to look for Lord Lu.
I saw that things were not going well, so I asked Jiang Chun and the others to stay in Jiangling, and I rode back as fast as I could to report the news."
Jiang Youzhen paced back and forth in the room. Qinglang and the others looked at Jiang Youzhen, who seemed to be thinking about something, and did not dare to disturb him.
"Go back and rest first!" Jiang Youzhen pointed at Jiang Shoudao.
"Qinglang, prepare the horses. I am going to Jiangling. You and Qinglang stay here. I am worried about Qin Yandong being the only one here."
Jiang Youzhen said this and turned around to pack his luggage. In fact, he only packed a few pieces of clothes, and all the other things were in the space.
"Sir, you haven't had a good rest for several days in a row." Qing Lang didn't dare to persuade him any more. Sir has been working non-stop since he came to Lin'an Prefecture. He only has two or three hours of rest time every day. It is definitely too much for him!
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen's cheeks were smaller than before and he looked thinner, Qing Lang felt a little distressed.
When he returns, the lady will definitely blame him for not taking good care of the young master.
"Stop talking nonsense and prepare the horses!" Jiang Youzhen had already packed his bags and was ready to set off immediately.
Although it was only the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Jiangling was already full of life.
A young man in a sky-blue brocade robe was queuing outside the city gate with his horse. When it was his turn, he took out something. The soldiers guarding the city saw it and looked at it again and again in disbelief.
"Who are you? Lord Jiang, the reader of the Hanlin Academy?" the soldier exclaimed, because what Jiang Youzhen took out was an ivory card.
"Where is the office of the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office?" Jiang Youzhen asked directly without taking off his hat.
"It's in the north of the city, go through here." The soldier immediately pointed in the direction.
After Jiang Youzhen entered the city, he mounted his horse without saying a word and headed in the direction the soldier pointed.
"Hurry! What are you still standing there for? Go and report to Lord Bian and the prefect!" A young general came over and immediately shouted.
Jiang Youzhen walked quickly along the way. There were many people in the market, so she shouted as she ran.
The horse stopped in front of the government office. Jiang Youzhen saw the words "Salt Transport History Office" written on the plaque above and dismounted immediately.
"Stop, this is the Salt Transport History Office, who are you?"
When the guard at the gate saw Jiang Youzhen walking straight into the yamen, he immediately shouted at him.
"I am the imperial envoy!" Jiang Youzhen immediately took out the gold medal bestowed by the emperor. Upon seeing this, the two guards immediately knelt down.
"Is your Lord Lu here? Take me to see him!"
The two were stunned for a moment, and one of them said, "Lord Lu is not in the yamen today."
"Not in the yamen? He is on duty now. Where did he go if he is not in the yamen?" Jiang Youzhen asked coldly.
"He...Lord Lu is taking a day off today, so he should be at home."
"Really?" Jiang Youzhen sneered, then raised his leg to go in.
"Sir, Lord Lu is not here."
"Can't enter if I'm not here? I want to check the files, who dares to stop me?" Jiang Youzhen shouted.
The two of them watched Jiang Youzhen rushing around and heading towards Zhaomoso, and their faces turned pale with fright.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and report!"
Jiang Youzhen observed the surrounding environment as he walked. When he saw the grinding station in front of him, he suddenly felt that he had finally found it after searching for a long time.
Seeing that there was someone guarding the door, Jiang Youzhen immediately took out the gold medal.
"I am the imperial envoy appointed by the Emperor. Why don't you kneel down after seeing the gold medal?"
The other party was very confused, but when he saw the glittering gold medal, he was about to kneel down, but he didn't expect a loud shout to come from behind.
"You are such a bold lunatic. You dared to break into the office of the Salt Transport Commissioner and even tried to steal the files of the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office. Come! Capture this man!"
Jiang Youzhen turned around to see who it was, but unexpectedly two guards rushed up and handcuffed her hands behind her back.
"What are you doing? I am the emperor's personal envoy, ordered to conduct a thorough investigation..."
"Why don't you shut his mouth? How dare this kid pretend to be an imperial envoy? It's a capital crime! Put him in jail and wait for Lord Lu to decide."
