It is not an exaggeration to say that Ninggu Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Ninggu County.

When you walk into the restaurant, the most intuitive feeling given to the emperor is luxury.

The places that attract attention are all expensive huanghuali wood.

Not to mention how precious dishes are placed on the table, even the bowls and chopsticks are all carved from the best Yelang topaz.

Many things are better than the Wangyou Restaurant in Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, please sit down." Ma Zhiyuan, the governor of Qizhou, invited the emperor to take the seat, and then a young woman with beautiful appearance came over and poured wine for the emperor.

Delicious dishes with all colors, fragrance and taste were delivered to the emperor.

The tempting fragrance penetrated into the emperor's nose. Compared with the days when sleeping in the open on the road, everything in front of him really makes people feel confused.

"Your Majesty, this is Beihai caviar. I heard that the dish only available in the Tianzi Pavilion of the Wangyou Restaurant in Chang'an."

"I specially prepared it for someone." Qizhou Governor Ma Zhiyuan said to the emperor again.

"You guys sit down, don't stand." The emperor smiled.

The emperor already knew that his party would not have to find any inappropriate things here.

Ma Zhiyuan and others have already hidden all their flaws.

In front of him, the emperor, he had a hundred thoughts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The officials said with a smile.

Each of them sat down, and the emperor tasted the North Sea caviar in front of him.

It's really delicious, just like I had it at Wangyou Restaurant.

The emperor tasted it and looked at the officials in front of him, and saw that they were also enjoying themselves secretly.

I just smiled and didn't say anything else.

After drinking for three rounds, the entertainment program prepared by Ninggu County Magistrate also appeared in time.

Several beautiful women danced in the restaurant.

I have to say that Ma Zhiyuan and others made complete preparations.

Thinking of a way to please the emperor.

"Governor Ma, I believe you know why I came to Qizhou for the sake of it."

"The officials in the court all said that the Qizhou riot is related to your Qizhou officials..."

"Your Majesty clearly understands that the Qizhou riots are guilty, but I am not sure why. If you say it is related to Qizhou officials, it will be completely slander."

The emperor's words shocked Ma Zhiyuan, the governor of Qizhou.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground to defend himself.

The other Qizhou officials were kneeling on the ground and defending the emperor.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, get up." The emperor said with a smile, winking with Li Ke.

"Governor Ma, Father asked you to get up."

"You all get up too." Li Ke stepped forward to help Ma Zhiyuan up, and shouted to other officials.

Ma Zhiyuan stood up, and the other officials also stood up.

"I don't believe that your Qizhou officials will have anything to do with this riot."

"I also know that as a parent official in the department, many things are impossible."

"So, you don't have to worry." The emperor said with a smile.

"I'm grateful for your understanding." Ma Zhiyuan quickly flattered the emperor.

The rest of the people shouted together.

A banquet ended with laughter and joy.

Ma Zhiyuan arranged for the emperor and others to stay in Ninggu Restaurant.

Obviously, this place is located in the middle of Ninggu County, with houses nearby, so Ma Zhiyuan and others can easily arrange people to monitor nearby.

Moreover, people come and go, it is not easy to attract the emperor's attention.

...

At night, Li Ke was a little sleepy.

Just as I was about to rest, I saw the emperor pushing the door and entering his room.

"Father." Li Ke quickly saluted the emperor.

But I was also puzzled why the emperor came here at this time.

"What did you find today?" the emperor sat down in Li Ke's room and asked him.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "Ma Zhiyuan and Chen Qu from Ninggu County have big problems."

"It's hard to believe that a small restaurant could be so luxurious."

"My son learned that this Ninggu restaurant was repaired by Ninggu County Government and is not usually managed to do so."

“Where did such luxurious decoration come from?”

"And Ma Zhiyuan said that all the people who welcomed their father had good living standards."

"But my son discovered that those people were not ordinary people at all."

"They are just rich people wearing civilian clothes."

"As for the tax issue, it is an imperfect lie."

"We just can't get their corruption account books, otherwise..."

Li Ke shook his head.

They now know that the governor of Qizhou, Ma Zhiyuan, and a group of officials from Ninggu County were lying to them.

But there is no way, they have no evidence at all.

It is also because there is no evidence that Ma Zhiyuan is not afraid at all.

The emperor nodded, and Li Ke's observation was considered meticulous.

Those people who greet them have different attitudes than ordinary people.

If the emperor was not wrong, those so-called people were actually some merchants and yamen runners from Qizhou.

"The houses around the restaurant should be full of their eyeliners. Tomorrow you can find a chance to go out for a walk."

"See if you can find out."

"By the way, there are eyeliners around now. Is there any way to pass the news to Boy Chen?" The emperor and Li Ke instructed, and finally asked another question.

They were obviously stared at by Ma Zhiyuan and had no chance to check anything else.

The emperor could only place hopes on Zhao Chen later.

I hope he can discover something when he comes here.

"Yes, after following the emperor for so long, I haven't learned other skills, so it's still okay to pass the message."

"Do you want to pass the situation here to the emperor now?" Li Ke nodded, showing a confident look on his face.

Obviously, he was satisfied with his ability.

"When you investigate the situation tomorrow, come back and try to spread the news."

"Okay, you can rest early, too."

"Here, you should eat and drink, and leave the rest to Mr. Chen." The emperor said, and then opened the door and left.

...

In Ninggu County, Qizhou Governor Ma Zhiyuan, Ninggu County Ma Ma, and Ninggu County Magistrate Chen Qu, and other Ninggu officials sat here.

Ma Zhiyuan frowned.

The other officials of all sizes were silent.

"Today I've been over. If I was expected by myself, the emperor would definitely send someone out to investigate Ninggu's situation tomorrow."

"What you have to do is to stop them."

"Don't let them go over those places that have not been processed."

"If something happens, don't blame me for taking ruthless actions against you."

"Do you understand?" Ma Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

"I understand!" All the officials nodded.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Ma Zhiyuan didn't know why. Although he had hidden it very well today, he was always worried.

I always feel something is wrong.

"Governor, should you ask the emperor and the others to leave Ninggu as soon as possible and stay here? I can't tell when..."

"You think I don't want to let the emperor leave as soon as possible."

"But if you urge me, the emperor will definitely feel suspicious."
