On the way back from Quming Tower, Bai Yi whispered a few words to Tao Yi, and Tao Yi bowed to Lin Bining and left quickly in the opposite direction. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Bining looked sideways at Bai Yi and guessed, "Is the thing you told Brother Tao to do something related to what Miao Niang said?" ”

Bai Yi touched her head and said with a smile: "Well, I'll tell you in detail when I go back." ”

There was a cool breeze in the night, Bai Yi took her back to the inn quickly, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in her palm to warm it, he sat down next to him, and said: "As I speculated before, Miao Niang told me that the Shen family's theft of tribute should have been framed by Xu Yijun, the prefect of Baizhi. ”

Lin Bining blew on the tea, took a few sips, her stomach was hot, she sighed comfortably, hugged the teacup and asked, "Aren't Shen He and Xu Yijun friends?" Why did Xu Yijun frame the Shen family? Could it be that after the collapse of the Shen family, he could get some benefits from it? ”

Seeing that her body was warm, her cheeks were flushed, as beautiful as rouge, Bai Yi caressed her delicate face with his hand, and said with a chuckle: "According to my investigation, the Shen family has always been subordinate to the Wang family in Baizhi before, and the ships purchased by the imperial court from the Shen family only account for 20% of the total purchase every year, but the Wang family accounts for 60%. However, since Xu Yijun served as the prefect, the Wang family has been worse year by year, and the Shen family's business has become bigger and bigger, and one of the important reasons is that Xu Yijun changed the ships used by the imperial court to buy them from the Shen family. ”

When there is no one in private, Bai Yi often makes some intimate movements, Lin Bining gradually let go a lot, and is no longer so shy about touching her cheeks, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said: "The Shen family must have promised Xu Yijun some benefits, so he will spare no effort to support the Shen family, is it that when there is a conflict between the two in the distribution of interests, Xu Yijun will make a move against the Shen family?" ”

Bai Yi nodded, glanced at her appreciatively, and said, "That's probably the case, Miao Niang said that Shen He told her before he was executed that she had an important thing hidden in the Shen family, which contained the drawings of the Shen family's shipbuilding, and there was another thing that Shen He did not say clearly. Miao Niang was trapped by Xu Yijun in Quming Tower and didn't find that thing, so what I asked Tao Yi to do was to go to Shen's house to get that thing. ”

Xu Yijun caused Miao Niang's family to be ruined, and he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but he kept Miao Niang, Lin Bining intuitively felt that the two of them had something, and asked softly: "Miao Niang and Xu Yijun are?" ”

"Miao Niang didn't say it explicitly, if you are interested, you can ask her for clarification next time." Bai Yi said with a smile.

She shook her head and refused: "No, Xu Yijun is Miao Niang's enemy, wouldn't asking her to ask these questions is not revealing people's scars, I just asked casually, in fact, I am not that interested." ”

"After dealing with the affairs of the Shen family, my business in Baizhi is basically completed, I will accompany you to walk around in the past two days, and then we will go directly to Cixin." Bai Yi held her hand and rubbed the smooth fingers, "Ning'er hasn't taken a boat before, when the time comes, we can take a boat to Cixin, which can be much faster than the carriage." ”

"Hmm."

There was a knock on the door, only to hear Tao Yi shouting outside: "Childe, is the master here?" ”

Now if Tao Yi can't find Bai Yi, he will guess that the other party is in her house, and he will keep it and find one.

Lin Bining's face was hot, she withdrew her hand from Bai Yi's hand, and said to Nunu by the door, "You go and open the door yourself." ”

Tao Yi didn't hear the answer, and was about to speak again, when the door squeaked open, and a smiling face appeared in front of Bai Yi's eyes, he hurriedly handed the package in his hand to the other party, and said, "Master, this is what you want me to find." ”

"Okay, let's go down."

Bai Yi sent Tao Yi away, opened the package on the table, and the top was indeed the drawings mentioned by Miao Niang, and below was a thick account book, which was full of records of the Shen family and Xu Yijun's silver money. He sighed: "This Xu Yijun has a really big appetite, the Shen family sells a ship to the imperial court, and he has to extract thirty percent of the benefits from it." ”

Quickly flipped back a few pages, and he pointed to a few lines of records for Lin Bining to see, "Later, it was even raised to fifty percent, no wonder Shen He would have a stiff fight with him, Xu Yijun is really a lion's mouth." ”

Lin Bining glanced at it a few times and sighed: "Seeking skin with the tiger is not going to be swallowed by the tiger in the end." Seeing Bai Yi put a few drawings aside, "This is for Miao Niang?" ”

"Miao Niang knew that Xu Yijun had something hidden in the suburban villa, and she used this news to make a request to me. Miao Niang's brother died in the northwest a few years ago, leaving behind a son, and I have promised her to bring her nephew back, and this is for him. Bai Yi patted the drawings and said.

"Do you want to go to Xu Yijun's villa in person?" Lin Bining pursed her lips and said, where Xu Yijun hid things, there must be someone guarding it, or there is a mechanism or something, she is worried that Bai Yi will be injured.

He shook her hand and comforted, "I'll take Tao Yi with me tomorrow night, you don't have to worry." ”

Lin Bining hugged him with both hands and said in a muffled voice: "Well, then you be careful, you must come back safely." ”

During the day on the second day, Bai Yi and Lin Bining went to the incense shop in the city to walk around, and found that there were a lot of flower dew from Liuli Country, she wanted to buy it to try the incense, but she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to carry these flower dew along the way. Bai Yi bought it directly for her, saying that he would send someone to send the account books and other things back to the palace, and the flower dew could be brought back to Shangdu together.

He is obviously only Tao Yi by his side now, she is a little strange from where someone came out to deliver something, he smiled and did not answer, Lin Bining knew that this should not be able to tell her, so he didn't ask again.

In the evening, Bai Yi and Tao Yi both went out. Lin Bining was worried about Bai Yi's safety and couldn't sleep, so she simply fiddled with the flower dew she bought during the day.

Compared with incense pills and incense cakes, flower dew has an advantage, because it is liquid, so there will be no scorching on the burning side of the smoke, and the incense burning process is much simpler. But Lin Bining still prefers incense pills, or enjoys the peace and tranquility brought by incense.

During the day, I bought a total of nine flower dews, tried them one by one, and saw that no one had come back, Lin Bining picked the most elegant jasmine dew among them and smoked it, moved out the Huanghuali chess tube, and placed them one by one according to the chess score.

It wasn't until the three drums were played in the tower that Bai Yi and Tao Yi came back, and Lin Bining's hanging heart fell. was inevitably discovered by Xu Yijun, Bai Yi spent a whole day copying Xu Yijun's account books for bribes and bribes, and put the original back at night, truly unaware.

Lin Bining and Bai Yi stayed in Baizhi for a few more days, and in mid-May, they found a sunny and sunny day, boarded a merchant ship bound for Cixin, and set off again.
