After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Lin Chuyi listened to the news Qian Laiye had found out, turned the teacup in his hand, lowered his eyes and pondered in silence.

Qian Laiye did not disturb Lin Chuyi's thoughts, but just drank tea and ate snacks.

He wandered among a group of beggars early in the morning, exchanging coins for news. He went through a lot of trouble to get accurate information, and he was exhausted.

Lin Chuyi put the cup on the table with a slight sound. Qian Lai also looked over. Lin Chuyi spoke.

"I will go to meet the local officials in Lanzhou this afternoon. You continue to find out the specific information about Chen Shundong and Zhang Quansheng. Then find an opportunity to meet with Chen Shundong. Seeing is believing. Find out what kind of person he is. As long as he is a good person, we will help him and prepare for our entry into the Lanzhou Chamber of Commerce in advance."

"clear."

In the afternoon, the two of them acted separately. Lin Chuyi used the skill of "throwing stones to ask for directions" and successfully found the Lanzhou government office.

Lin Chuyi pasted an invisibility talisman on himself, walked past the guards in a swagger, and walked into the government office through the gate.

Lin Chuyi walked through the main hall and the second hall and went directly into the inner house, where he found Governor Liu Changhe who was working in the study.

Lin Chuyi used the "Insights" and "Bo Le's Selection of Horses" techniques on him, and Liu Changhe's basic information appeared in front of Lin Chuyi.

Liu Changhe, gender: male, age: 46, personality: fair and honest, brave and upright, current identity: prefect of Lanzhou, innate skills: successful career.

Life experience: When Liu Changhe was 36 years old, he ranked 150th among the top three in the first imperial examination after the founding of the country, becoming the last Jinshi in the first imperial examination of the Great Chu. In the second year, he was assigned to serve as a county magistrate in a county under the jurisdiction of Chongzhou.

Half a year after taking office, the county magistrate was dismissed for corruption and bribery. Liu Changhe was promoted to acting county magistrate and later officially promoted to county magistrate.

After serving a two-year term and receiving excellent performance ratings, he was transferred to a medium-to-lower-level county in the surrounding area to serve as county magistrate.

A year later, Chongzhou suffered a severe drought and the people were displaced. Liu Changhe organized a militia to prevent the people from rioting, opened warehouses to release grain, provided relief to the victims, distributed land to the victims, and guided them to settle down and reclaim wasteland.

In the same year, many officials were dismissed and held accountable by the imperial commissioner for their improper handling of the disaster victims, which resulted in the displacement of the people, riots caused by the refugees in many places, and the death of many people.

Liu Changhe stood out from the crowd of officials who were just sitting there doing nothing and was promoted to the position of Tongpan of Chongzhou because the number of people in his jurisdiction increased dramatically, which led to an increase in the rating of the place where he lived.

Three years later, the prefect of Chongzhou retired and recommended Liu Changhe to be the next prefect. Liu Changhe was promoted again and transferred to Lanzhou to serve as the prefect of Lanzhou three years later.

Looking at Liu Changhe's life experience, Lin Chuyi was deeply moved. His experience could be published into a book. She had even thought of a name for him, which could be called "A Bright Official Career: Me and My Unfair Colleagues" or "Promotion Depends on the Support of Peers". It was simply unparalleled.

According to the timeline, he had just been transferred to the post of Lanzhou governor and had not yet completed team building, so it was normal that he lacked in management of his subordinates.

Lin Chuyi turned around and left Liu Changhe's study. She had no intention of communicating with him face to face. It was enough for her to know so much information about him.

Lin Chuyi went around to the office of Zhao Yongxin, the magistrate of Lanzhou, and saw Zhao Yongxin happily counting silver bills.

Zhao Yongxin, gender: male, age: 43, personality: greedy and lustful, vindictive, current identity: Lanzhou Tongpan, talent value: three stars in arithmetic, talent skill: assess the situation.

Life experience: Zhao Yongxin was born into a merchant family. After he passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, his father paid for him to become an official in the county. Later, he relied on his connections and money to rise to the position of the person in charge of grain transportation in a state.

When the Xin Dynasty was first established, Zhao Yongxin went over his head to report the former Lanzhou Tongpan for treason and collusion with the enemy, and secretly accepted bribes to support the remnants of the previous dynasty to restore the country.

The matter Zhao Yongxin reported was of great importance, so it attracted the attention of his superiors. After investigation, it was found that there was conclusive evidence that the former Lanzhou Tongpan was guilty, and he and his entire family were sentenced to death.

Zhao Yongxin successfully took the position of acting Tongpan of Lanzhou City by stepping on the corpse of the previous Tongpan. Later, through a large amount of money transactions, he successfully ascended to the position and became the real Tongpan of Lanzhou City.

Well, now it is certain that this person is not a good person. After Lin Chuyi understood what kind of person Zhao Yongxin was, he did not act rashly. Instead, he turned around and quietly left the government office and returned to the inn to wait for Qian Laiye to come back.

Qian Laiye's progress was also smooth, and he successfully had an "encounter" with Chen Shundong.

"Ouch!"

Qian Lai also cried out in pain, and his whole body flew backwards uncontrollably and fell to the ground, with the fat on his body trembling.

The coachman was stunned and quickly pulled the reins. The carriage stopped suddenly. Chen Shundong, who was thinking about something in the carriage, almost fell down. He came to his senses immediately, frowned, reached out and lifted the curtain.

"What happened? Why did the car stop suddenly?"

"Boss...Boss, I...I think I bumped into someone...someone!" The coachman was so scared that he was trembling and couldn't even speak clearly.

Chen Shundong looked in the direction the coachman pointed and saw a man lying on the ground. Thinking something was wrong, he quickly jumped off the carriage and went to check the man's injuries.

Chen Shundong came to Qian Laiye and watched Qian Laiye shaking from side to side on the ground in pain. He didn't know what to do for a moment and bent over, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Hey...brother, where are you injured? Shall I take you to the infirmary?"

Qian Lai also narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chen Shundong, then started to cry out again, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word.

"Oh my, I really am, oh my, don't you guys look at the road when you drive? Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been trampled by the horse's hoof and my life would have ended here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shundong glanced at the coachman. The coachman was very panicked. He didn't know what had happened just now. The carriage was running well, but suddenly a person rushed out in front of him.

He was a little nervous at the time and did not see clearly whether he really hit anyone. Logically, if he hit someone, he as the driver would definitely feel it, but he did not feel the force of the impact.

However, looking at the size of the man in front of him, if he hadn't been hit, how could he have been thrown backwards? So he really hit the man, right? The driver was still a little unsure.

Chen Shundong withdrew his gaze from the driver and looked at Qian Laiye, who was still lying on the ground, with an apologetic look.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my driver."

Chen Shundong bowed to Qian Lai.

"We did something wrong, but the most urgent thing now is to send you to the clinic and let the doctor take a look at your injuries first. If you are injured anywhere, you can get timely treatment. Don't worry, I will cover all the medical expenses. You can also ask for any compensation you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
