Chapter 175
When the county magistrate went out of the hall to order people to prepare lunch, he also sent someone to deliver a letter to the magistrate.

The crown prince and the eighth master came here without anyone noticing, and he wouldn't believe it if he said they were just here to see the disaster!I don't know if what he just said can scare these two masters from the capital.Right now, I can only hide a point first.There are many things that he can't let him decide, and he still has to listen to the magistrate.

He has been the county magistrate here for several years.The possibility of promotion is not great, and it can only be pointed at a little bit more.

Now that I have embarked on this path, I can only bite the bullet and go on, and there is no turning back.

The crown prince and the eighth master didn't sit for long, and the lunch was served one after another.

The county magistrate ate with the two of them, and graciously sent them out of the county government office. He didn't turn back to the government office until they were no longer visible.

The master who hadn't come out all this time would join up now.

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work if you send someone to send a letter to the magistrate. It's better to go there yourself."

"Now that the crown prince and the eighth master are watching here, how can I leave? Besides, I estimate that these two lords will go to the magistrate tomorrow." The county magistrate said: "I sent the news, Just let the magistrate have an idea in his heart."

"Then, should we do something else? Will there be any problems with the food?" the master asked with some concern.

"Let's not act rashly, lest we show our feet. They can detect them without seeing them." The county magistrate said.

The master nodded, but was speechless for a while.This happened suddenly, so we could only wait and see what happened.

Besides, the prince and the eighth master went back to the post station and went back to their rooms to rest.Eighth Master thought about it, and called Chen Guo to give some instructions.

Chen Guo nodded again and again, waited for Ba Ye to rest, and went out.

There was no movement in the prince's house over there.

After more than an hour, Chen Guo returned.He still had two boxes of packed snacks in his hand.In the courtyard, I happened to meet Xiao Zhongzi, the prince's personal eunuch.

"Which time is Eunuch Chen playing?" Xiao Zhongzi asked with a smile.

The two of them got to know each other well along the way, and their conversation was more casual than at the beginning.

"Our grandfather likes to eat snacks. I took advantage of him to fall asleep, went out for a walk, and bought some jujube cakes." Chen Guo smiled and said, "Does the crown prince like this? There are two boxes here."

"The crown prince might not be used to the snacks outside, so I don't need them." Xiao Chongzi laughed.

Chen Guo didn't insist, and said, "Our master is probably going to wake up, so I'll go into the room to wait on him."

"Go. The prince just woke up, I'll go get some hot water." Xiao Chongzi said.

One of them entered the house, and the other went to the kitchen.

Ba Ye didn't sleep at all in the house, sitting at the table not knowing what to write.

Seeing Chen Guo coming in, he lowered his voice and asked, "How?"

Chen Guo put the snacks on the table and replied in a low voice: "I went to inquire about it. There are only three big grain merchants in the city. The Wang family and the Li family in the east of the city, and the Fu family in the west of the city. The three grain merchants before the disaster and After the disaster, no food was stored. I heard that under the call of the county magistrate, the three families donated part of the food to set up porridge sheds for the county government. Because they did not raise the price of food, the people said a lot of good things about them.”

"That's interesting." Ba Ye said with narrowed eyes.

Usually at this time, grain merchants are the objects of hatred of the common people.When the disaster victims were emotionally unstable, it also happened from time to time that grain merchants were robbed.

Ever since he entered Zibo County, he felt that something was wrong.Thinking about it now, it was when I saw that those grain shops were operating normally.

"Because of the short time, the slaves can't check the granaries of these grain merchants." Chen Guo said again.

"That's not something you can get in casually." Ba Ye said: "Even if you go in, it's hard for you to see anything."

"Then what is the master's plan for the next step?" Chen Guo asked.

Since the master asked him to investigate in private and did not send guards, he just didn't want to disturb the prince.Now that things really have problems, what should be the next step?Do you want to continue to investigate by yourself without telling the crown prince?But there is no one in hand, so where should we start to investigate this matter?
"We'll talk about it tomorrow when we meet the magistrate." Ba Ye said.

Now that he can't figure out the prince's intentions, he can't act rashly.What happened in Yangzhou last year had already taught him a lesson.

Some things, when there is no absolute certainty and ability, it is better to keep silent.

Here Ba Ye is working hard to run errands, but in the palace, Mao Tongtong's life can't be more comfortable.

Since Wang was ridiculed by her, she never came out of the house.Mao Tongtong happened to be happy and quiet.

Drawing, embroidering, practicing calligraphy, playing cards, studying food, sleeping late, in short, Mao Tongtong allowed himself to live as freely as possible within his ability.

In just half a month, she found that her face in the mirror had become round.

"Qingzhu, is this dress too small? Why is it tight in the chest?" Mao Tongtong tugged at the neckline a little uncomfortable.

"No way? This is a new dress made in the same size as the beginning of winter, and it's the first time I put it on!" Qingzhu said.

"No, no, quickly unbutton me, I'm almost out of breath." Mao Tongtong muttered.

Qingzhu was startled, and quickly unbuttoned her.

"Has Ge Ge developed?" Qing Miao asked after watching it from the side.

"Ah?" Mao Tongtong was taken aback.

Qingzhu also took two steps back, stared at Mao Tongtong for a while, nodded and said: "Really. It seems that the clothes have to be remade. It was also the negligence of the servants, and I should have talked to the embroiderer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time. Grid is still growing, so the clothes should be a little looser."

Mao Tongtong looked down at his chest, and suddenly realized what Qingzhu and Qingmiao were talking about!
Teenage girls should indeed be developing.Maybe it's because she ate and drank well these days and didn't worry about it, so she developed better.

"I made several sets of new clothes in the winter. I can't wear them anymore?" Mao Tongtong asked.

Those clothes are still made of the material that Ba Ye rewarded.The colors and patterns are Mao Tongtong's favorite.It hurts to think that you might not be able to wear any of them.

"Why don't you try it with Ge Ge." Qing Zhu said: "If it doesn't work, this servant will go and tell Mother Guo that Xiu Niang will come to measure Ge Ge's clothes earlier."

"Alright." Mao Tongtong nodded.

There are five sets in total, and Mao Tongtong tried them one by one, but he really couldn't wear any of them.It's because the chest is too tight, and I feel panicked.

"What a pity." Mao Tongtong watched as Qing Zhu put away the clothes one by one.

"Compared to the clothes, the slaves think that it is better to have a long body." Qing Zhu laughed.

Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of Qingzhu's words, and immediately smiled and said: "Well, you bad girl, you dare to tease the master!"
