While Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged eunuch and dozens of Eastern Yard fans, they also found Zhou Chen who had just walked out of Youyu County.

Several dozens of Eastern Yard horse whips raised, accelerated moving towards the gate of Youyu County and galloped over.

Walking to the gate of the county government, these Eastern Yard fans hurriedly got off their horses and separated them on both sides of the road, and began to greet the middle-aged eunuch who followed him.

Another swift kick of horseshoes sounded. Under the guards of the Bright Gown Guard, such as Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the middle-aged eunuch and Ba Dao finally came to the right. In front of the door of Yuxian Ya,

Turning over from horseback, Ba Dao walked quickly to Zhou Chen's front, bowed his hands and said: "Subordinates pay homage to the lord!"

"No need to be polite, this trip to the capital is still smooth?!"

Zhou Chen raised his hand and asked aloud.

"My lord, don’t worry. Although there are some twists and turns on the road, the accompanying sergeant and Bright Gown Guard brothers are working with a common purpose. In the end, everything you have ordered is handled properly. "

Because there are still many Eastern Yard fans in the field, Ba Dao did not directly state the process of his trip to the capital this time.

Zhou Chen hearing this slightly nodded, he chuckled and applauded and said: "Thank you all along the way!"

Ba Dao replied, "This is the subordinate The responsibility is, the adults are serious, and the subordinates are ashamed."

Zhou Chen laughed and did not continue to say anything, but Ba Dao and Chen Yun and Xu Yun and the others did their best work, Zhou Chen still I put everything in my heart.

Immediately, Zhou Chen stopped paying attention to the process of Ba Dao, Chen Yun and Xu Yan's trip to the capital. Instead, he turned his attention to the middle-aged eunuch.

"I don't know who this father-in-law is?!"

Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged eunuch with a smile on his face and asked aloud.

"In our family, Cao Zhengchun, I have seen Lord Zhou!"

The middle-aged eunuch raised his fingers slightly, and replied with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum blooming.

I can hear the life of the middle-aged eunuch in front of my ears, Zhou Chen's look on his face couldn't help but slightly startled, and he suddenly thought in his heart: "This is Cao Zhengchun?! The future Emperor Zhengde will succeed to the throne. From now on, he will be in charge of Eastern Yard for more than ten years, and the great Court Eunuch with power in the hands?!"

Just when Zhou Chen was secretly surprised, he only heard Cao Zhengchun laughed and said again: "We Before my family left the capital this time, my patriarch specially asked our family to say hello to Master Zhou!" Cao Zhengchun's slightly shrill voice made Zhou Chen sobered up instantly.

There is no need to think more, Zhou Chen immediately understood who Cao Zhengchun's master was.

Cao Zhengchun is undoubtedly a cronies of the emperor who can take charge of Eastern Yard, a violent organization for more than ten years.

So the master in his mouth is not the current Crown Prince, who is the future Emperor Zhengde Zhu Huzhao?

Zhou Chen didn't even think in his heart that Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao unexpectedly ordered Cao Zhengchun to greet him on his behalf.

But if you think about it carefully, this matter is also based on reason. After all, Zhou Chen had saved Zhu Houshao's life before.

Now Zhu Houzhao, who is still a young temperament and very simple, thinking that Zhou Chen's life-saving friendship is better than him, naturally it is very likely to happen.

"I didn't think that His Highness the Crown Prince even remembered this official, this official was really terrified."

After came back to his senses, Zhou Chen quickly cupped the cup. his hands and said.

This ceremony is not done by Zhou Chen towards Cao Zhengchun, but because of Zhu Huzhao, who is behind Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly took the first two steps. He reached out to support Zhou Chen, and laughed at the same time, said: "Master Zhou does not know something, His Highness the Crown Prince is often mentioned in front of us minions. How about you.

Said that you are not only the Third Placer of Xinke, but also a strong martial arts. You are really a rare talent with both civil and military skills."

Zhou Chen straightened up. He shook the head with a chuckle and said: "His Highness the Crown Prince is overpraised. How can this officer deserve such a great honor for both civil and military."

The two of them exchanged greetings at me for a while, and then they entered the Youyu County Office under the guidance of Zhou Chen.

In the waiting hall of the county government, there was already a pot of clear tea at the right temperature by the clever and clever servant.

Zhou Chen and Cao Zhengchun were seated in the queue. Zhou Chen personally poured a cup of tea for him, and asked with a chuckle: "I don’t know if Eunuch Cao left Beijing and came to Youyu County on this trip, but it’s the capital city. Is there any purpose in it?"

Cao Zhengchun took a sip of tea at a moderate pace, then Shi Shiran stood up and said: "Your Majesty has a purpose!"

Hearing this in his ears, Zhou Chen quickly got up from his seat, walked quickly to the opposite side of Cao Zhengchun and bowed his hands.

At the same time, I saw Zhou Chen's face solemnly saying: "The emperor's holy bow, Jinan!"

This time, Cao Zhengchun did not go forward. He helped Zhou Chen, his face calmly said solemnly: "Zhen An!"

After that, Cao Zhengchun regained his full smile, only to see him stretch out his hand and pull it out of the pocket in his sleeve. A roll of yellow imperial decree comes.

While walking forward, he handed the imperial decree to Zhou Chen with both hands. Cao Zhengchun said with a smile: "This is your secret decree given to Master Zhou by Your Majesty. It is not convenient for our family to read it, please Master Zhou, you can read it yourself."

Zhou Chen laughed to his feet, and he turned over the contents of the secret volume quickly.

The content of the secret statement is very simple, nothing more than affirmation of Zhou Chen's achievements, and also a commendation of Zhou Chen.

With the successful establishment of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market, and Zhou Chen will also connect the White Lotus Religion Saintess candidates to the Datong sub-rudder to be completely wiped out.

Emperor Hongzhi directly promised in the secret decree that when Zhou Chen's term of office is over, he will be transferred back to the capital, the official position will at least be upgraded to Level 3.

Apart from this, the most important meaning of this secret is the treatment of the revenue of the Beijiang Mutual Market.

According to the normal situation, the revenue earned by the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market should actually be turned over to the Imperial Court account department.

However, Emperor Hongzhi made it clear in this sealed decree that all the silver taels earned in the Beijiang Mutual Market in the future, except for the daily operations of the Beijiang Mutual Market, do not need to be handed in. Imperial Court Ministry of Households, but just leave it to a dedicated person.

At present, of these dozens of Eastern Yard fans who are accompanying Cao Zhengchun, a large part of them are people who are specifically responsible for escorting the revenue of the next exchange.

There is no doubt that Emperor Hongzhi does not intend to transfer the revenue of the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market to the Imperial Court Treasury, but intends to enrich it in his own inner palace.
