As the first city in Jiangnan, Yangzhou Prefecture must have a base of the Seven Star Supervisor, but Qin Yuesheng didn't know where it was. After all, he was now a quasi-Bronze Toad official. To become a real Bronze Toad official, all he needed was for Lord Zuo to help him make arrangements in the court.
It is difficult for Qin Yuesheng to find the secret hiding place of the sword tomb by himself. If he relies on the power of the government, he may be able to find the location of the "sword-making" town as soon as possible.
After having lunch at Yixin Residence, Qin Yuesheng took the initiative to go to the governor's residence in Yangzhou Prefecture.
Speaking of the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, although Qin Yuesheng had never met him before, the two had dealt with each other secretly.
If this matter were really exposed, the governor of Yangzhou would probably order people to kill Qin Yuesheng on the spot.
That’s right, Liu Xian, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, is the biological father of the traitor Liu Zhizhang, whom Qin Yuesheng had killed in Meteorite Mountain.
However, this person currently does not know that Qin Yuesheng is the enemy who killed his son. After all, Qin Yuesheng did this very secretly, and then the Tianxing dumping incident happened. Basically, all the clues and traces he left behind were buried under the earth by the Tianxing rolling.
That's why Qin Yuesheng dared to come to the governor's mansion in a swagger, but he was very open in his heart.
Seeing a stranger approaching the Governor's Mansion, the two guards standing outside the gate immediately pointed their spears at him and asked, "Who is this person?"
"Go tell your master that the official from the Seven Stars Supervisory Bureau is here to visit." Qin Yuesheng said.
In the current Tang Dynasty, the governor is a third-rank official. Even if Qin Yuesheng officially becomes a Bronze Toad official, he cannot be on par with Liu Xian in terms of official rank, so he came to visit this time with the mentality of a subordinate.
Of course, it's just a mentality. If Liu Xian dares to look down on him or make him unhappy, then the strength of the fourth level of internal force will still be revealed, and he will beat him up without any fear.
After all, in the face of real strength, official ranks are empty.
Someone immediately reported Qin Yuesheng's situation to Liu Xian, and soon a special person came to lead Qin Yuesheng into the mansion. It seemed that his position was similar to that of a housekeeper.
"Sir, please come this way. Lord Liu is already waiting for you in the reception hall."
"Thank you." Qin Yuesheng nodded and walked into the reception hall.
Although Liu Xian has entered middle age, he has maintained himself quite well. His complexion is rosy, his hair is black, shiny and lustrous, and he is full of energy. It is obvious that he spends a lot of money on this aspect.
Upon seeing him, Qin Yuesheng immediately gave him a symbolic bow and said, "Your humble servant, Qin Yuesheng, greets Lord Liu. My superior is currently in Chang'an processing my promotion to a Bronze Toad official. I don't have my own Bronze Toad official order yet, so I'll use this wooden order to prove my identity."
Seeing Qin Yuesheng take out a wooden toad official order, Liu Xian immediately smiled and shook his head: "No need, no need. Not many people in this world know about the Seven Star Supervisor, and even fewer dare to use this identity to deceive me. I trust you, Lord Qin, please put it away first."
"yes."
"I thought the Bronze Toad official should be thirty years old, but I didn't expect Lord Qin to be so young. That's great. The Seven Stars Supervisor is really gaining strength with a young master like you." Liu Xian said with a kind smile.
As a prefectural governor, a third-rank official, he naturally knew about the existence of the Seven Star Supervisor. Although Qin Yuesheng was one rank lower than him, Liu Xian did not show any contempt, because he knew very well that those who could join the Seven Star Supervisor were all masters.
Those who can become Bronze Toad officials are masters among masters. There is no need to offend such people in vain.
If you can establish good relationships with them, they might be useful in the future.
"Master Qin, please take a seat."
"Thank you." Qin Yuesheng picked a chair and sat down, saying directly, "The reason I came this time is because I have been investigating a sinister incident and have found nothing. I would like to ask for help from Lord Liu. Could you please let me check the county management records of Yangzhou Prefecture? I'd like to find some clues there."
"Oh? That's so!" Liu Xian was shocked. "Of course, of course. How could I refuse such a thing? Don't worry, Master Qin. I'll have someone prepare it for you right away."
Qin Yuesheng didn't expect Liu Xian to agree so readily, but when he thought about what this person had done behind his back, he immediately understood a lot.
This is an old fox.
Judging from the fact that he asked Liu Zhizhang to secretly mine gold in Meteorite Mountain, although it is unclear whether this person has the intention of rebellion, he definitely has the idea of using money to strengthen his own power.
No one knows how deep Liu Xian has hidden his belongings under the water in Yangzhou Prefecture, but this is not Qin Yuesheng's concern.
Under Liu Xian's arrangement, Qin Yuesheng was able to successfully arrive at the archives in the governor's mansion.
This place is truly enormous, lined with bookshelves that look like a long dragon, filled with densely packed books.
Some of them are on bamboo slips, some are on paper, and what is even more shocking is that there is information recorded on stone, which is really eye-opening.
"Sir, this is the archive. Lord Liu told you to take your time searching."
"Okay, I understand. Thank Lord Liu for me." Qin Yuesheng then began to search every bookshelf.
His focus was mainly on books that recorded the geology of the county. He would pick up anything related to sword-making and take a look. Once he was sure that it had nothing to do with the information he wanted to know, he would put it back in its place.
With the help of 'universal text recognition', Qin Yuesheng browsed through these books with almost no pressure. However, after checking dozens of books, he did not find the information he wanted.
