Chapter 411 The second half [ask for monthly ticket! ]

"Brother Chen, I have said this much. It is up to you to decide whether this business can be done." Qi Zhongqing was frank and straightforward. "I know you can't make the decision in the Chen family. You just need to pass the message back. I believe your elders will understand."

"Haha, I'll convey your message." Chen Ju's tone was still ambiguous.

Qi Zhongqing was slightly displeased when he saw this. "I treat you with sincerity, why are you so timid, brother Chen? Maybe you think these words cannot be said openly, but the way we do things in Qingdu is different from yours in Shendu. We are far away from the emperor, so we don't worry about being overheard by the emperor, so we are naturally bolder."

You'd better worry about it.

Chen Ju rubbed his eyebrows and thought to himself, I advise you not to be too bold.

The prince frowned, suppressed his anger, and said, "I think this is a good idea. We can do it."

Liang Yue echoed, "Indeed, since Young Master Qi is so straightforward, Young Master Chen, why don't you also give a clear answer."

These two seemed to be trying to lure him into a trap. Chen Ju smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I will be the boss today and agree to this deal on behalf of the family! If the elders of my family disagree, I will come to you with my head on my shoulders!"

Qi Zhongqing was delighted when he received such an affirmative reply from Chen Ju. It seemed that this boy's status in the Chen family was higher than he had imagined, and he was not just a yes-man who could only pass on messages.

"That's great!" He waved his hand and said, "I believe in you, Brother Chen. I'll let Miss Liu accompany you later."

"No need, I'm just here to meet up with friends, no need to bother Miss Liu." Chen Ju declined.

There is no need to say more about Qi Zhongqing's meaning.

Chen Ju originally thought that Liu Mengyi was a flower without a master, so he wanted to flirt with her. Now it seems that this Miss Liu was either trained by the Qi family or had been taken by Qi Zhongqing long ago. Others have already been arranged, so he has no interest in her.

If there were no one else here, he might have some little thoughts, but the prince was sitting here and had just talked about some important matters concerning the family, so he really no longer had any romantic thoughts.

But when the prince saw them like this, his face became even gloomier.

These young men from aristocratic families have acquired stunning beauties, but they are still pushing them around, and end up having to deal with a bunch of ugly freaks themselves.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Liang Yue was watching from the side and also felt that the little fat boy was a bit pitiful.

I always thought I was a royal noble, but it turns out I have been kept in the dark for so many years. All I eat and use are the leftovers of others, and now I have to ask someone to arrange my wife for me.

The prince is not a human being? The prince was not raised by his parents? Does the prince deserve to be deceived by you?
Why don't you go buy some melon seeds for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

"Ahaha." Seeing that Chen Ju had no such intention, Qi Zhongqing said, "Then from now on, Brother Chen, you will be like my brother. In Yunlu City, you can get by in most places just by mentioning my name."

"Brother Qi, you are too polite." Chen Ju replied perfunctorily.

At this point, Qi Zhongqing said in a deep voice: "Since we can do business, we will be close partners in the future. I have another matter here, and I would like to ask Brother Chen to pay attention and help me find out."

"What's the matter?" Chen Ju asked, feeling uneasy.

You can die however you want, but stop digging up my past.

……

"After Zhao Faxian got into trouble, the position of Qingdu's prison officer is still vacant. We have recommended several names, but there has been no response from the Shendu Ministry of Personnel. The Chen family is powerful in Shendu, so I would like to ask you to help find out who the Ministry of Personnel wants to be the prison officer." Qi Zhongqing said.

The relationship between the officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel and the aristocratic families in Yunlu City is like that of a powerful dragon and a local snake.

Without the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel, the noble families could not influence the officials of Yunlu City. But if the noble families did not like this person, then no one could stay in this position for long. The better ones might ask for transfer due to bad luck; the worse ones might die in a foreign land, and the cause of death was unpredictable.

Therefore, every official in Yunlu City is a candidate recognized by both the central government and local governments. This is a tacit understanding.

However, there has been no news yet on the appointment of the new prison officials, and the Ministry of Personnel has tacitly rejected their inquiries.

"Prison officer?" Chen Ju frowned and asked, "Who is the prison officer in Qingdu? Didn't the Ministry of Personnel inform you in advance?"

"No." Qi Zhongqing shook his head and said, "If it was normal, we wouldn't care. But Zhao Faxian was really ignorant and left us with a big trouble. If the new prison officer doesn't cooperate, it will be difficult to solve it."

"Are there any problems in Qingdu City that the Qi family finds troublesome?" Chen Ju asked.

"Don't mention it." Qi Zhongqing shook his head, feeling quite depressed. "I don't know if you've heard that my eldest brother committed some minor crimes before, and Zhao Faxian used chicken feathers as a token of authority to arrest him in the street and put him in jail. Many people saw the incident, and it was not easy for my family to be snatched out directly. We had to get the prison officer to give in, and Zhao Faxian finally stepped down. We have to know who the new prison officer is, so that my family can operate smoothly. My family doesn't have many connections in Shendu, so Brother Chen, please help us find out when you have time. From now on, we will be friends on the same ship, and help each other from north to south."

When Liang Yue heard that it was about Zhao Faxian, he glanced at Chen Ju.

Chen Ju also understood what he meant, and asked casually, "Zhao Faxian is indeed a nasty fellow. What crime did our eldest brother commit?"

"He killed two people in the street and was caught when he was chasing the third one." Qi Zhongqing said in a low voice.

"..."Everyone was silent for a moment.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Although everyone is saying that Zhao Faxian is a traitor and guilty of heinous crimes, this is indeed the most righteous episode.

If these were all small matters that could be resolved, then there would really be no major problems in Yunlu City.

After a pause, Chen Ju continued, "He dared to mess with the Qi family. He must be tired of living. Is it possible that the Qi family was responsible for his disappearance..."

"Let's not talk about this." Qi Zhongqing patted his shoulder, stood up, and said with a smile: "I have finished talking about the two things I wanted to say. I have another game to play next, so I will take my leave first. Please keep today's matter confidential. Thank you very much."

"Mr. Qi, you're too polite." Everyone stood up and saw him off happily.

Turning back, Chen Ju immediately said to the little fat boy, "Your Highness, our family..."

"No need to say more." The prince raised his hand to stop his explanation, "See you in the matter."

Judging from his expression, if there are no decent beauties in this year's imperial concubine selection, he will probably make a fuss.

Chen Ju said: "I will definitely cooperate with the court to crush the Qi family's conspiracy to find an ugly woman for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The prince then revealed a satisfied smile.

Liang Yue said, "From what Qi Zhongqing said just now, it seems that their family is also related to Zhao Faxian's disappearance. I plan to follow him and see who he is going to meet later. Chen Ju, you entertain the prince, I will be back soon."

"You're leaving again?" The prince was stunned. "It's so late, what else are we going to do?"

"Hehe." Chen Ju said with a wicked smile: "This is just the beginning, there is still the second half."

"What's the second half?" asked the prince.

Hu Delu looked at Chen Ju's slightly vulgar smile and quickly coughed beside him to remind Chen Ju to be careful with his words and actions, "Cough!"

"After listening to the song, the second half is of course..." Chen Ju paused and said, "midnight snack!"
