Chapter 173: The New Official's Errand

Bai Jiaojiao was chatting and eating chocolate while lying on his stomach and shutting up, while he was bored looking at the account book, and the Bai family was about to turn the sky upside down.

"Why did you come back so late?"

In the lobby of the Bai family, the candle flame was flickering, and the maidservants with feather fans stood outside with their heads bowed and waited carefully.

More than a dozen dishes that had been heated several times were placed on the table, and no one at the table moved their chopsticks. The Bai family has an unwritten rule, as long as it is not a big deal, the family will have dinner together, and one less will not move chopsticks.

"Big brother is back, then you can start eating, I'm dying of hunger." Shirakira beckoned to the maid to bring the rice and soup.

"You're still in the mood to eat." After returning to the battlefield for a few years, Father Bai's face has not changed except for being more resolute and rigid by the wind and frost, but it has a little more spirit.

Bai Hua glanced at Po, who was also hungry and begged him for help, "No matter how big it is, you can't say it hungry, if you didn't tell me, if you don't eat enough, you will have the strength to deal with the enemy, and you will starve to death on the battlefield a long time ago." ”

"You!"

"Don't say a word, and talk about these unlucky things. I really regret letting you take Jiro on the expedition. "Liu complained to stop this war between father and son." Da Lang hasn't eaten yet, so sit down and talk about it. This fish enlarges the young master's there. ”

"Yes." When the maidservant heard the sound, she immediately came to change the table, and the other person reached out to take the robe that Bai Li had taken off, and then respectfully retreated.

Even though it is a rule, Bai Li is still a little unaccustomed to being served. "No, I met a few eunuchs and chatted with them for a while, and I delayed for a while."

"Also, today is your big day, we should have a drink to celebrate!" Bai Hua put his arm on Bai Li's shoulder, and the two brothers casually touched their wine glasses. "Congratulations on having a great literati in our family, in the future, our two brothers will be officials in the same dynasty, and if those villains say bad things about me and my father, it will all depend on you."

"Although I have been selected, I have not yet been sealed to an official position, so I must not talk nonsense."

"Da Lang is right, the wall has ears. Our family is already eye-catching, and now Dalang is also in court, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse! Father Bai sighed, the tree was very popular, but they only had to bite the bullet.

Hearing this, Liu gave a few children a slap in their hands, "Does the saint have an opinion on Da Lang?" ”

"That's not true, our family is a military attachΓ©, and now there is such a saint who dances and writes, and he is very happy."

"That's good." Nowadays, it seems to be a beautiful day, but in fact it is walking on thin ice.

"A-Niang, I will also be a big official in the future." Ah Bao is also a smart and clever young man now, and every time Liu takes him out, he doesn't know how many ladies and young ladies he coaxes.

Ah Lian, who combed the girl's long hair, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled. "You also have this ambition, are you stimulated by Brother?"

"No, as long as I become a big official, I can protect you, and Sister can come back."

Tong Yan Wuji is the point that everyone deliberately ignores, there is always an empty seat on the Bai family's dinner table, and a pair of chopsticks that no one uses but can see every day is that Liu no longer reminds himself all the time, reminding everyone that they still have a third lady in the Bai family, even if she is not there, Liu must let all the subordinates in the family understand her status and weight.

"Am I wrong?" Po is no longer the child who can only cry at the beginning, he already has the ability to think. Over the years, he has also tried to inquire about Bai Jiaojiao's whereabouts, but everyone's silence has made him more or less understandable.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, eat." Liu said a word, and that ruthless girl really never came back.

White Birch took a piece of meat and put it in front of his eyes and sighed. "In fact, no matter how good a cook is, he can't make the taste of A-Niang's own hands, and it can't compare to the bright mountain food. There are so many people, and I can't find one who can make comfortable clothes. A-Niang, don't deceive yourself, but think about the three-year appointment is coming, my Bai family is no longer the kind of identity that anyone dares to provoke, and I am sorry for myself if I am so aggrieved. ”

Liu Shi also relaxed a little when he heard this, "You can't be so unruly outside, don't you still have something to say to Da Lang?" ”

"What's going on?" Bai Li poured some soup into Bai Jiaojiao's empty bowl, and only looked up when he heard that he was mentioned.

"I just got the news that the sea tribute has been robbed." The white father did the same and added a piece of meat to the empty plate of the white light.

Bai Hua pouted, and every time he ate, the two of them came to this trick, as if he didn't care about Kyaukyao. So he directly brought the whole plate of roast chicken to the white birch that was placed on the vacant seat, and then he was satisfied. "Tribute again?"

"This time is different, in addition to the rare treasures, these are all exhibits sent from various countries, although most of them are affiliated countries of my Dasheng, but the theft of the exhibits used for the birthday of the saint is enough to make me lose face." Not to mention that the treasures that people have chosen to show their national strength have been robbed like this, even the clay figures are all angry, and if it is not good, it is his crime of despising all countries.

Bai Hua snorted softly. "Who did it?" He doesn't care about this, he will be embarrassed if he loses face, anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of the old emperor in the first place.

"Black Wind Village." Father Bai naturally has his own intelligence channels, but what surprised him even more was that there was an old acquaintance involved in it. Qin Moshu, the youngest and most promising descendant he had ever seen, seemed to have disappeared in the past three years, and it was the strangest thing that he had not been promoted according to his ability. But what's even more strange is that such an unknown petty official was actually sent to take charge of this important matter, why?

Bai Li glanced at the escort list, the three fake routes were all avoided, and the best hidden real routes were inconspicuous, if he didn't know in advance, even he wouldn't be able to determine which day was the real escort route.

Besides, the escort route really sent fifteen first-class masters in the palace, five deputy generals in the inner city, and the person and the close eunuch personally escorted them. Behind him, there are two hidden guards secretly protecting the way throughout the whole process, such a staffing ...... As a result, the other party robbed all the treasures without one person being damaged, this is not a shame and a loss of face at home!

"How can you tell what's wrong?" Birch probe probes the brain's inquiry.

Bai Li handed him the list. "I can't tell anything from the list alone, the only thing that can be judged is that this thing is not easy to do." In this case, anyone can only think of one possibility - there are inner demons among these people!

If it weren't for his own people, how could he know the route time clearly, and it wasn't a cow ghost and snake god who could actually rob the goods out of thin air without hurting a single person. And in terms of the consistent style of Heifeng Village, a criminal gang that declares itself outside, they are by no means the kind of people who secretly steal the black hand.

"Anything is possible without an investigation." Father Bai nodded in agreement.

Birch avoids it. "Which of these people is easy to mess with, I will die when I look at this list and investigate, who likes to pick up this hot potato, as long as it has nothing to do with us." (To be continued.) )
