" My strategy for governing the country is to make these people listen to me. If they don't listen to me, I can't control them even if I want to," Chen Jingge said in a low voice.
"You're too kind," Liu Bowen said with a smile.”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the whispers of the two and did not mind.
He really wanted to know how this Chen Jingge had changed Fengyang County.
Zhu Yuanzhang followed Chen Jingge to his residence. As soon as he entered, he was shocked by everything in front of him!
This caused him to hold back his anger, but he could not vent it out.
There were carved beams and painted buildings here. On the stone pillars, there were birds, deer, water, and fish.
He wouldn't be so angry if it was just a simple carving. But most importantly, these carvings were made of precious materials and plated with a layer of gold. They looked very luxurious.
Not only was the size of this mansion astonishing, but even the interior decorations were extremely luxurious.
For example, a luminous pearl could be embedded in the eye of a bird to illuminate it.
"I didn't expect a mere county magistrate to live in such a luxurious residence!”
" I'm just using my property to decorate my mansion," Chen Jingge hurriedly explained." I didn't use any underhanded methods!"”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sized up Chen Jingge with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to find some clues from his expression.
However, Chen Jingge's expression was very calm. There was no trace of panic, as if he was stating a fact.
However, even if a county magistrate had some family background, it was impossible for him to have so much wealth!
Therefore, he did not think that Chen Jingge was an upright official!
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to turn his head away and continue walking forward. However, he was planning to find out Chen Jingge's corrupt behavior!
Chen Jingge came to the warehouse with a plate of seeds and handed one to Zhu Yuan.
When he checked, Zhu Yuanzhang just looked around casually and did not see anything.
Liu Bowen also took the seed from his hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Jingge and said in a deep voice,""Chen Jingge, I hope you don't have any traces of corruption on you. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!”
Chen Jingge looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,""I'm not greedy. Don't slander me!“
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Chen Jingge.
Liu Bowen looked at the conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Jingge and secretly praised Chen Jingge's courage! He actually dared to challenge Tian Zi!
"Emperor, we can go back now.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he gave Liu Bowen a look and turned to leave.
Liu Bowen was about to brush shoulders with Chen Jingge when Chen Jingge stopped him and said,""Mr. Liu, please wait.“
Liu Bowen was called by Chen Jingge. Before he could answer, he was interrupted by Chen Jingge.
"I know some fortune-telling stuff. If I'm not wrong, Mister Liu will probably catch a cold at the end of February in the eighth year of Hongwu. If you catch a cold, don't trust those people who volunteer to see you. Moreover, the medicine they prescribe must not be taken, especially by people from the imperial court. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”
Liu Bowen stared at Chen Jingge. He never expected Chen Jingge to say such a thing!
Chen Jingge said this because he had a heartfelt respect for Liu Bowen.
Moreover, he had just helped her put in a good word for her in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. If he really listened, it would be returning her a favor!
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed Liu Bowen's abnormality, but he was still confused.
Chen Jingge saw Liu Bowen's expression and Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze. He quickly said,""Mr. Liu, the coachman is just ahead.”
Hearing this, Liu Bowen's expression returned to normal. He walked to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing the two of them walk away, Chen Jingge's heart finally relaxed.
He believed that someone would come to check his accounts very soon!
When Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the Chen family, the first thing he did was ask Liu Bowen," What did that young man tell you?“
Liu Bowen lowered his head and said,"Your Majesty, he said that I would be in trouble."“
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said,""How could you have such a big disaster? He was just saying it! Don't take it to heart."
"He also told me how to avoid this great calamity."”
"What are you going to do?"
Liu Bowen did not dare to finish his sentence and only said,""He said that I would definitely catch a cold at the end of February in the eighth year of Hongwu.“
"Is this what you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in disbelief.“
Liu Bowen nodded.
This time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who fell into deep thought.
Only the two of them were left in the huge lane.
