Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 558 Muddy Waters
"Huang Ama's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess now." Elder brother also sighed.

Ba Ye smiled wryly, and said: "Brother, brother Xie, let me know the news. It's just that this job has to continue."

"Why are you being polite, brothers?" The elder brother frowned again as he said, "I only found out about this when I was out of Beijing. Let me tell you, I also want you to know something in your heart. During this time, I always feel that something is wrong." It's not right, but I didn't find the problem again."

"Brother, what did you find out?" Eighth Master hurriedly asked.

Because he didn't expect to be sent out on business at all, he didn't pay much attention to the trend of Henan's officialdom.Before that, he and fourth master had been resettling refugees and preventing and controlling the epidemic. They thought they would be able to rest for a while after it was resolved.This errand of disaster relief will be sent to others by Kangxi.After all, it is impossible for one person to take too much credit.

But Kangxi obviously didn't play his cards according to common sense.This time he and the crown prince were sent out to Beijing for disaster relief, which made him slightly more popular than fourth master.On the surface, it seemed that Kangxi valued him, but Ba Ye didn't think it was a good thing in his heart.Apart from the crown prince, he has several older brothers, but as the younger brother, he gets the limelight.Anyone who stands on the cusp of the storm will hardly end well in the end. This is a lesson that has been learned in blood in the past dynasties.

"I didn't find anything. Except that Master Ding is a student of Suo'etu, and that the two of them have some contacts. It's not like Master Ding said that they have no friendship. The other things are gone. But I always feel that Master Ding dared to Deliberately exaggerating the grain harvest at risk is not just for the evaluation of the officials." Big brother said.

"Brother's meaning?" Eighth Master asked with a frown.

The eldest elder brother shook his head, but did not answer, but said: "Baye, think for yourself, I'm not sure."

At this time, Chen Guo came in with some side dishes and a pot of warm wine, and the conversation between the two ended here.After drinking and eating, both of them tacitly stopped mentioning this matter.

The elder brother just left when he was in a hurry, and the eighth master sent him away, lying on the bed but unable to sleep.

The elder brother came here on purpose to tell him that Mr. Ding is Suo'etu's disciple, and he definitely had a purpose.Is he trying to imply that this matter has something to do with the prince?Or, was it simply ordered by the prince?

But why did the prince do this?What is he doing with so much food?To resell?Although the prince is trapped in the palace, he has many ways to get money.At least one Suo'etu can get him a lot of money outside the palace, so do you still need to take this risk?Once Huang Ama knew that Lord Ding was Suo'etu's disciple, the prince would definitely be involved.Yi Suo'etu's cunning, did not expect this before?
This matter was really not right, but after thinking about it for a long time, Ba Ye couldn't figure out what was wrong.The eldest brother said that he only knew so much information, but he felt that the eldest brother said half and left half.If he noticed something was wrong, he didn't investigate it thoroughly, and didn't report it to Huang Ama, so why did he tell him again?Do you want him to pierce the window paper?

Ba Ye didn't forget that the elder brother was cold for a while and hid in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing for a while, but he was always on errands.At that time, not only the elder brother had a grudge against him, but even concubine Hui also made a note of it in his heart.

It is really hard to tell whether the elder brother's reminder is sincere or false.

There has never been a fight between the elder brother and the prince.He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.Although he knew that he was a target being erected, he was not a dead target without ideas after all.Sometimes, he, the target, also wants to hide.

After thinking about it for a while, the sky is getting brighter.

"Master Baylor, it's time to get up." Chen Guo's voice came from outside the tent.

Ba Ye rubbed his swollen temples, and said, "Well, get up."

Only then did Chen Guo hang up the bed curtain and help Ba Ye get out of bed.

"Master Baylor didn't sleep well last night? I see that your eyes are a little blue." Chen Guo said.

"I'm excited after drinking some wine." Ba Ye said casually, "Wipe your face with cold water today, and be more energetic."

"Yes, this servant will let people prepare." Chen Guo replied.

Ba Ye applied the veil soaked in cold water to his face for a while, and his mind became much clearer.When I went out of the house, I saw that the elder brother was also under the corridor.

"Eighth brother woke up? Did you sleep well last night?" Big brother smiled.

"Morning, brother. The bed in this post station is still a little uncomfortable. Brother, I didn't sleep well last night. I'm afraid I'm going to fall asleep soon!" Ba Ye laughed.

The elder brother smiled and said, "I really slept soundly. I'm too tired these days."

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

The prince also came out of the house at this time, and said with a smile: "Eldest brother and eighth brother are quite early. Let's have breakfast together. Call third and seventh brothers too."

"Okay!" Eighth Master and Eldest Brother both responded at the same time.The prince sent an invitation, of course he couldn't refuse.

After a few people had breakfast, they were about to part ways.Eighth Master and the Prince continued to head towards Henan, while Elder Brother, Third Master and Seventh Master continued to return to Beijing.

When the two teams were parting at the gate of the post station, Ba Ye saw Master Ding sitting in the prison car.With loose hair and prison uniform, his eyes looked blankly into the distance, as if a little dull.It's just that when the prince left immediately, Ba Ye noticed that Master Ding's eyes suddenly lit up, and then quickly returned to dim.

Ba Ye didn't care about Master Ding's fate after he entered Beijing.But he had to think about what the elder brother said.Going to Henan to do business is probably not as easy as he imagined.

When the autumn wind in the capital was blowing with a bit of coolness, mixed with a few scents of sweet-scented osmanthus, Mao Tongtong realized that it was almost the fifteenth day of August.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival again." Mao Tongtong was in a daze.Before she knew it, she had been in the capital for three and a half years, which was about the same as the time she had spent in Yangzhou Garrison Mansion after crossing.

Qingzhu thought she was missing Master Ba, so she said, "Ge Ge, I'm afraid Master Baylor won't be back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"I know, he has only left for a short time, and he will definitely not be able to come back." Mao Tongtong said, "I am homesick."

As soon as Mao Tongtong said he was homesick, Qing Zhu and Qing Miao remembered that they hadn't received a letter from Yangzhou for a long time.Even Mao Tongtong's older brother, Mao Mingxuan, hasn't written a letter for a long time.

"Does Gege want to write a letter?" Qing Miao asked.

"Well, let's grind the ink. I always feel a little uneasy." Mao Tongtong said.

The last time she received a letter from Yangzhou was when Chen sent someone to deliver things after she gave birth.This has been said for several months.Probably because of her status, even with the support of Eighth Master, Mrs. Chen and the others still seldom write.Usually it was Mao Tongtong who wrote a letter, and they wrote back.
