Chapter 169 Who is investigating us

Without the interference of the wine girl, Chen Zheng and Li Shuang focused their main energy on food.

I have to say that the dishes at this restaurant are pretty good and the taste is light.

But the two of them were just busy eating, which made it seem a bit cold at the table. Wang Liangyi gave Zhu Zhengrong a wink and signaled him to adjust the atmosphere.

Zhu Zhengrong coughed lightly and said, "Master Chen, this Sea Whale Bone Temple is about to be completed. What are the plans for the next step?"

Chen Zheng swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled and said, "Of course I've returned to Dongyang County. My wife is still waiting for me at home."

Wang Liangyi laughed and said, "Is this the reason why Master Chen drove away the wine girl?"

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said without showing any weakness: "That wine girl was not driven away by my brothers, but by Lord Si Cheng."

Zhu Zhengrong was stunned. He didn't expect that the war would be brought back to him again.

It was embarrassing, Zhu Zhengrong quickly turned the blame and said to Li Shuang next to him: "As far as I know, Mr. Li is not married yet, right? Is there anyone I like?"

Li Shuang was generous and nodded directly to admit it, saying, "I am the next talent and look good. Of course, I have someone I like, so don't make any decisions about me."

Chen Zheng was speechless. Since Xiao Zan's identity as Prince Xiao was revealed, Li Shuang has become a little arrogant.

Originally, when he came to Kyoto, Li Shuang was also cautious, for fear of offending some unknown high-ranking officials. But now, in front of the Minister of Works and the Sensei of the Craftsman, Li Shuang actually had a look and tone of beating.

You should know that the position of Minister of Works is much higher than that of the magistrate of Dongyang County. Even if Li Shuang's father Li Gang is here, he will be respectful to Wang Liangyi.

Wang Liangyi naturally would not argue with Li Shuang, so he turned around and asked Chen Zheng: "Master Chen, don't plan to open a woodworks workshop in Kyoto?"

"I really haven't thought about this." Chen Zhengdao.

"I have heard that Master Chen's furniture carpenters are taking a high-end route, and each piece is expensive." Wang Liangyi said.

Chen Zheng did not deny it and nodded, "You get what you pay for. I have done some carpentry work in the Craftsmanship before. I believe the two adults can feel their value."

Wang Liangyi and Zhu Zhengrong looked at each other and nodded. To be honest, most of the tables, chairs and benches that Chen Zhengzhengsi made were separated by the two of them.

The furniture made by Chen Zheng not only looks exquisite, but also feels a bit inexplicable when used. In short, it feels great.

"It's worth it, absolutely worth it!" Wang Liangyi affirmed, "So, I asked, don't Master Chen want to come to Kyoto to develop?"

Chen Zheng frowned. He had never thought about this before. Now that Wang Liangyi mentioned it, he was thinking a little.

Seeing that Chen Zheng was a little moved, Wang Liangyi continued, "In Kyoto, there are many rich and powerful people. Only here can you afford Master Chen's furniture."

Chen Zheng nodded subconsciously and did not agree immediately. Instead, he said, "Dongyang County has a lot of family affairs and cannot come to Kyoto Dingye for a while."

Wang Liangyi frowned and asked, "Isn't Master Chen the only wife? He doesn't even have children. Where do many family affairs come from?"

"Haha, Mr. Wang is very clear about the investigation here." Chen Zheng said with a slight smile.

Wang Liangyi's face changed and he quickly explained: "Master Chen, don't misunderstand. Our Ministry of Works still has a good impression of Master Chen. This information was also found by the official from other places."

Li Shuang was not as easy as Chen Zheng, and snorted coldly and said, "Mr., can you tell us who is investigating us?"

"This?" Wang Liangyi hesitated a little. He obviously didn't want to offend anyone.

Li Shuang waved her hand and said, "Since Lord Wang doesn't want to say it, we won't force it."

Wang Liangyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Young Master Li can understand this official, thank you."

Unexpectedly, Li Shuang didn't buy it, so she snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Wang won't tell us, so she will naturally go back and ask the prince to ask your highness to come forward to investigate who is secretly spying on us."

"Ah!" Wang Liangyi didn't expect Li Shuang to bring the prince out.

Zhu Zhengrong was also a little helpless. He understood that Li Shuang's words were inseparable from the prince, and he used the prince to suppress them.

However, this trick is quite effective.

Chen Zheng also had some small opinions about Li Shuang's usual behavior, but at this time, seeing Wang Liangyi being defeated, he suddenly felt that it would be quite effective to occasionally take out the prince's card.

Wang Liangyi had a long time of confusion before slowly saying: "I can tell you two, but you must not say that I told you."

"Mr. Wang doesn't want to say it, so you can't say it." Li Shuang said leisurely.

Wang Liangyi had no choice but to say: "I asked from a friend of the Ministry of Revenue. I don't think the Minister of Revenue Yu Youguang is investigating the two."

"How can I tell?" Chen Zheng asked, "Is it because of the news that Lord Wang heard from the Ministry of Revenue? If it were the friend of the Ministry of Revenue, he also heard from another place?"

Wang Liangyi shook his head and said, "Master Chen doesn't know anything. In the court, Yu Youguang, the Minister of Revenue, has always opposed the abolition of the sea ban and the establishment of a whaling team. Therefore, you are also a little disgusted with the transport of sea whale bones to Beijing. It is reasonable to send some people to investigate."

Chen Zheng nodded. He could understand Wang Liangyi's explanation, but the person sent by Yu Youguang to investigate them was obviously not very professional.

Only Chen Zheng had a wife, but didn’t he investigated that Chen Zheng’s wife Yue Xiaorong was still the leader of Hongsong Village?

Even without finding this little information, Chen Zheng's evaluation of Yu Youguang suddenly became much lower;

Chen Zheng glanced at Wang Liangyi and asked with a smile: "What do your Ministry of Works have to say about this decree?"

Wang Liangyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Sun Mingzhi, the Minister of Works, is neutral and neither opposed nor supported it. However, Mr. Sun had a good personal relationship with Mr. Tang of the Ministry of War, and I think he would still silently support Mr. Tang of the Ministry of War."

Chen Zheng nodded and did not continue to ask in-depth questions on this issue. If he asked again, it would involve the government orders in the court.

Don’t talk about state affairs. Chen Zheng doesn’t want to involve too much energy on these things. He is just a carpenter, and those major national affairs have nothing to do with him.

But Li Shuang was a little unhappy and said, "Why should the Minister of Revenue investigate us? I will have to complain to the prince tomorrow!"

"Brother Li, don't cause trouble for the prince." Chen Zhengdao.
