went to Shuzhou, Li Tong did not object at all.

As long as she can go out, she is very happy.

For this, Yu Curtain was no longer sensitive, and even felt that as long as Li Tong didn't think about running to Songting Tower all day, he could go anywhere.

And on this trip to Shuzhou, Li Tong also brought the feather curtain.

can see the general every day, the little girl is so happy that she didn't sleep all night, and she gets up before dawn to clean up this and that, which is happier than Li Tong.

Shuzhou, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away.

It takes at least ten days to take a carriage from Yicheng, and if you are eating, drinking, and having fun on the road, this time has to be moved to a longer time.

According to Li Tong's conjecture, the emperor asked Baili Ye to come to Shuzhou by the way, probably for the prefects who died of inexplicable illness before.

The emperor is far away, and Shuzhou is probably not that simple.

For example, if there are unscrupulous people doing evil in this place, or the officials and people here are deceived and concealed, and the officials have two mouths, it is not easy to say.

"What does Madame think?"

In the carriage, Baili Ye was peeling chestnuts for Li Tong.

Li Tong held his chin and thought thoughtfully: "So, Shuzhou has eaten five or six prefects over the years?" ”

"More than that."

"Huh?"

"There is also the magistrate who was sent down."

Li Tong nodded, thinking of a possibility, and shuddered.

"I think Shuzhou may already be a small court."

"The husband also thinks so." Bai Li Ye smiled, his eyes were full of starlight, and he stuffed a white and tender chestnut meat into Li Tong's mouth: "Now that the emperor is fledgling, and Shuzhou is too far away, his hand can't reach out, and the officials sent over before have not investigated carefully and carefully, so they will delay it again and again." ”

"But why would he think you could?"

Bai Li Ye pinched Li Tong's face: "Naturally, it is because of these two floods, and during this time, Mrs. has done some things for the people of Yicheng." ”

"He knows it all?"

"Naturally, he is my eldest brother's son after all, and Yicheng is an imperial city, and under his nose, there are still some means for this."

"Then he's not as useless as you say!" Li Tong took away his presumptuous hand on his face and rubbed his cheeks, I don't know what is going on with this guy, he has been doing things recently.

Bai Li Ye smiled without saying a word, and continued to bow his head to peel chestnuts for her.

Li Tong is very puzzled, he also likes to peel her this and that recently, and likes to feed her something to eat, at first, she thought he had something up.

And now, well, she's starting to get used to it.

Arrived in Shuzhou, it was already half a month later, the road was far away, the carriage was bumpy, and after passing the gate of Shuzhou, Li Tong rolled in the carriage to celebrate that this grinding journey had finally reached its destination.

Bai Li Ye was the first to jump out of the car and hugged Li Tong, who no longer wanted to move.

Shuzhou is prosperous, and businessmen gather.

There is no other reason, but because Shuzhou has the most abundant iron ore in the whole Qingqi.

In the imperial court, I don't know how many people want to keep Shuzhou firmly in their hands, and so is Baili Ye.

This time, the emperor mentioned letting Baili Ye come, one is to test whether Bai Li Ye really wants that son, if he wants, holding Shuzhou is holding the military funds, and the other is to find out whether there is collusion between officials and thieves in Shuzhou to assassinate the officials of the imperial court.

Baili Ye's prestige is known to everyone in the entire Qingqi.

In the whole world, only the first emperor can control him.

A few people chose a clean inn, pretended to be a guest who came to play, asked Xiao Er about some famous attractions and special snacks, and then walked out.

On the street of Shuzhou, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, at first glance it is more lively than Yicheng, but a closer look can find that many of the people on this street are not locals.

"It's a foreign caravan."

Bai Li Ye held Li Tong's hand, the two were very close, when he spoke, he put his mouth close to Li Tong's ear, and when he touched it slightly, the lip flap rubbed the tip of Li Tong's ear, which was already red like blood, and even the piece with the back of Li Tong's neck was pink and tender, which was particularly attractive.

Bai Li Ye pretended not to know, but his eyes gradually deepened.

Li Tong raised his hand and touched his ears, and the distance between the two widened slightly: "Don't talk to me so closely, it's all touching my ears." ”

Biyu: "???? ”

Madam, don't you say it so obviously, okay?

Don't our generals want to lose face?

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Bai Li Ye was not angry at all, but instead grabbed Li Tong's hand, not letting her have any chance to leave his arm's length at all.

You're right, but I don't listen.

Li Tong tugged hard, but he couldn't move, forget it, damn it.

When they first arrived, they were not familiar with the place, and they were not prepared to find out things as soon as they came here, Shuzhou has been in business for many years, if it is so easy to be exposed, there will not be so many court officials killed.

Biyu inquired about one of the most prosperous restaurants - Chunlai Building.

I heard that it is the most favorite restaurant of business travelers in the past, but there is no him, just because there are all kinds of dishes in this restaurant, if you want to eat hometown food, tell the chef, and keep the dishes that are made is an unbiased hometown taste.

"So powerful? Bafang dishes, it is difficult to make local dishes full of taste, if you want to make all the dishes as you want, it is not an overnight effort, not to mention that some special dishes are not spread, this restaurant has invited chefs from all over the world? Li Tong listened to Xiao Er report the name of the dish, and he really had everything, even the special dishes of Yicheng, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's not it, it's just that our chef alone can top three or four chefs in other restaurants, and they all come from studying in various places over the years." The little two were full of pride.

Li Tong nodded, casually ordered a few local specialties in Shuzhou, and asked Xiao Er to go down and prepare.

Chunlai Building has a total of two floors, downstairs lobby, upstairs box, sound insulation effect is particularly good.

Just now they came up from the lobby, and the noise in the lobby hurt people's ears, but when they went up to the second floor and entered the box, the sound was faint and almost negligible.

Biyu also felt magical, stood on the wall and observed it carefully, and said: "The wall is mixed with special sound-absorbing materials. ”

"According to this little two, then the owner of this restaurant has really made a lot of money, and it will take at least decades for a chef to learn and return, and a chef who can cook dishes in all directions is hard to find, he actually said that there is more than one in this restaurant."

Li Tong took a sip of tea, the fragrance of the tea was overflowing, which was completely different from the taste she usually drank elsewhere, the faint bitterness extended to the root of the tongue, and suddenly returned to sweetness, down the throat.

She looked down at the tea bowl, there was a hint of bright red on the tip of the green tea leaves, and it was quite enchanting in the tea soup like blue waves.

"What kind of tea is this? Never seen before. ”

Bai Li Ye never cared about the quality of the entrance, only distinguished between poisonous and non-toxic, before he went out to fight with the emperor, he was the most stubborn prince in the royal family, and later went to the battlefield, what to eat, those habits of mouthing have long been worn out.

In the past few years since returning to the imperial court from the border pass, Baili Ye has not fully adapted to it.

To him, the wine and delicacies that people talked about seemed to be inferior to the roast mutton buns wrapped in wind and sand on the frontier.

"It's a novelty." Bai Li Ye commented lukewarmly.

The restaurant served the food quickly, several people talked while eating, and Li Tong even asked Chiyi to come down temporarily, and then go back to squat after eating.

They deliberately opened the door a crack, and the sound of conversation in the lobby downstairs floated up from time to time, and several people had good ears, even if the voice was weak, they could hear it roughly.

"There have been a lot of big names in our city these days!"

"Isn't it, the inns are almost full."

"It's not that the old lady of the Qin Governor's Mansion is going to celebrate her birthday, and those who have accepted the invitation have all come to give gifts."

"My brother's daughter-in-law's grandmother's nephew is on an errand in the Qin Mansion, and I heard that in the past few days, I have watched boxes of gifts carried into the yard!"

"Really?"

"Isn't that good? I heard that this birthday banquet will be held for three days and three nights, and the troupe has invited several of them. ”

"Have you ever heard of the Joy Class? A few days ago, I saw them and they seemed to be going to Qinfu. ”

……

"Is the Joy Class famous?" Li Tong blinked.

Bai Li Ye didn't understand very much, coughed lightly, and glanced at Bi Yu, who was listening energetically.

Bi Yu immediately retracted her head and said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, the joy class is a folk opera troupe, but the foundation of the drama is extremely solid, whether it is singing or figure, it is one in a million talents, and it is the only team that has entered the palace to sing for the Queen Mother." ”

Li Tong heard it, grabbed Bai Liye's wrist, shook it gently, pouted a small mouth, and his delicate voice floated out: "I haven't heard the play yet!" ”

"Go back to your husband and invite them to sing to you for three days and three nights, and let them sing whatever they want to hear, and if they can't sing, they will all be cut!"

When Bai Li Ye said this, he had a faint posture that as long as he could get a smile from the beauty, even if there was a beacon fire show, the princes would not be afraid.

Madame gives you whatever she wants!

The stars in the sky also give!

Life is also given!

Give it all, give it all!

Chiyi was drinking soup, and almost squirted out, that is the troupe that has been given by the Queen Mother Chrysostom, do you really want to cut it?

She looked at Biyu, her head full of question marks.

Biyu shrugged her shoulders and was expressionless, obviously used to it.

Li Tong touched his chin and thought, "Why don't we think of a way to go to the Qin Mansion tonight?" ”

"Okay."

Regarding Li Tong's proposal, Bai Li Ye has nothing to oppose now, anyway, if something really happens, he can clean it up.

That night, several people changed into night clothes, black cloth masked, only revealing a pair of big round eyes, Li Tong grabbed Bai Liye's hand and quietly found the backyard of the Qin Mansion.

"Actually, madam, this kind of thing can be done by me and Chiyi, and you and the general don't have to take risks." Biyu lowered her voice and crouched under the wall.

"I don't!" Li Tong vetoed, because he was excited, his heart beat a little fast: "I've never done this kind of thing, how energetic!" ”

It's really energetic, it's old, it's old!

Biyu silently took several sips in her heart.
