Chapter 105 Worry
"The wind is blowing, and my younger brother took Mao back first. She has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still weak." Ba Ye got up and said.

The prince nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Go."

"Your brother will leave." Ba Ye cupped his hands.

Mao Tongtong also quickly blessed, and followed Ba Ye out of the pavilion.

On the way back, Ba Ye walked faster than when he came.But Mao Tongtong had something on his mind, but he slowed down.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther behind, Ba Ye couldn't help but stop and look back, and saw Mao Tongtong frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

He stopped and waited for her, and saw that she didn't seem to notice him, if it wasn't for the reminder from the maid beside him, she would almost bump into him in a daze.

"What's the matter?" Eighth Master asked, "But the wind blows and makes you feel uncomfortable?" Seeing her pale face, Eighth Master was a little worried.

"No, nothing." Mao Tongtong forced a smile.

"Still hiding it from my master?" Ba Ye frowned displeased.

Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yangzhou, did something happen in Yangzhou?"

Ba Ye was stunned for a moment, looked at the worry in Mao Tongtong's eyes, and then remembered that her hometown was Yangzhou.Unexpectedly, just a few words between him and the prince made her guess.

"Why do you ask that?" Ba Ye laughed and said, "I just had a casual chat with the Crown Prince."

"Really?" Mao Tongtong looked at Ba Ye, staring straight into Ba Ye's eyes, as if trying to see something from inside.

"Then what do you think will happen?" Eighth Master asked back.

Mao Tongtong was stunned, and she couldn't explain clearly, but her intuition was uneasy.Yangzhou is a place with good weather and weather, so there should be no major incidents.

"Don't think about it, there's nothing wrong." Ba Ye smiled and held Mao Tongtong's hand, only to realize that her hand was very cold, his brows frowned immediately, and said: "Go back quickly, your hands are like this Cool, don't freeze."

"Master, promise that nothing will happen?" Mao Tongtong didn't move, still looking at Ba Ye stubbornly.

"I can't guarantee it." Eighth Master said: "It's not the master who goes on errands."

Mao Tongtong pursed his lips, feeling a little depressed for some reason.She is like a bird trapped in a cage now, knowing almost nothing about the news from the outside world.Eighth Master was her only channel, but this man practiced Tai Chi.

Ba Ye didn't care about her emotions at the moment, he just pulled her back and walked back.All the way back to the house, someone brought hot tea for Mao Tongtong to drink, and Ba Ye said: "What do you think of your ama being an official?"

"Ah?" Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The servant, Ama, must be a good official!"

"Really? You know it well?" Master Ba smiled.

Mao Tongtong was stunned, unable to speak for a moment.She had never seen what Mao Chengyun looked like in the Yamen.But he was a good husband and a good father at home.Is it just that such a person must be a good official?She couldn't tell.

"Ama, a servant, is upright and never accepts bribes." Mao Tongtong said.

"How do you know if he has accepted bribes? Will he do it in front of your daughter?" Eighth Master asked back.

"The servant just believes that he can't!" Mao Tongtong said firmly.Mao Chengyun is not that kind of person.

"In that case, why are you worried?" Ba Ye said.

"What if someone framed it?" Mao Tongtong retorted unconvinced.

"If he was murdered so easily, it shows that he is stupid and not a good official." Ba Ye said.

Mao Tongtong was furious again, this man's words were really poisonous.She turned her head, drank her tea, and didn't want to talk anymore.

Ba Ye glanced at her, but he didn't bother with this question anymore.Based on his guess, this time, the fourth brother and tenth brother still couldn't find anything.

The matter between the crown prince and Huang Ama has to involve their brothers, isn't this embarrassing for them!
Yangzhou, Master Shi finally lost his temper and dropped the ledger in his hand.

"Fourth brother, shouldn't we take a break! I've been watching these all day, I don't think there is any problem!"

"Bored?" Fourth Master said calmly without raising his head.

"I'm bored." Master Ten said in a rough voice.

He is a restless character, so it would be nice to be locked up here for two days.If he doesn't go out again, he will go crazy.

"Then let's go out for a walk today." The fourth master closed the account book in his hand and said.

"Really?" Tenth Master was stunned for a moment, he thought that Fourth Master would get angry, and he was ready to be reprimanded by Fourth Master, and then took the opportunity to slam the door and go out.

"You should also change your mind." Fourth master smiled.

Master Ten was immediately happy.

Fang Zhifu has been paying attention to the movement here.Hearing that fourth master and tenth master were going out, they hurriedly came over and asked if they wanted to prepare a carriage or something.

"No need, master and tenth brother can walk around at will." Fourth master said.

Fang Zhifu didn't insist, and sent someone to follow Si Ye and Shi Ye, saying that they were leading the way.Fourth Master was noncommittal and did not refuse.

A group of people walked out from the magistrate's yamen and walked along the street at the door.

It was the dog days, and there were not many people on the streets in the evening.Master Shi felt tired after walking two steps, and yelled to go to the restaurant.Fourth master also responded with a good temper.

The people sent by Fang Zhifu led the two of them to a restaurant by the river.

It was also a coincidence that the two of them had just sat down in the private room when they heard the voice of someone talking next door.

"Do you think these two masters can find out anything?"

"Who knows! It's mysterious. It came suddenly, and no one was seen. I've been staying in the magistrate's office all day, and I don't know what I'm doing."

"Master Zhifu is such a clever person, he will definitely be able to fool him."

"When who came last year, didn't they return without success?"

"Yes, yes, we don't have to worry about it, there is the magistrate!"

"Hahaha."

Fourth Master and Tenth Master looked at each other, and they knew without guessing that the people sitting next door were probably some officials from Yangzhou.

"Fourth brother!" Master Shi whispered, "There must be a problem."

Fourth Master thought to himself, isn't this nonsense!What the neighbor said is so obvious, those who can't hear it are fools.

"But I've seen nothing wrong these two days." Master Shi said under his throat.

"It's no problem if I can show you." Fourth Master said.

The tenth master suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the fourth master, so you still want me to watch?Playing monkeys!
"Didn't I bring you out today!" Fourth Master said innocently.

Master Shi couldn't get out of his chest.He has been holding back for two whole days.

The neighbor next door probably also heard some movement in the room on this side, the voice gradually died down, and soon talked about other topics.

When he came out of Chengde, he specially wrote a letter to go to the capital to ask the household department to check the tax situation of Yangzhou in the past five years, and he should be there in a few days.

The tax revenue of a place will not fluctuate much in years without disasters and wars.If there is a sharp increase and a sharp decrease, there is a problem.

If you can't see the problem vertically, you can check horizontally. Now you can only use this stupid method.
