That night, Xiao Huai'an came to the Yang family's study according to the initial agreement, but found that opposite Yang Fujian, there was a cup of cold green tea.

As soon as Yang Huairen saw Xiao Huai'an appear, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and personally stepped forward to greet him, thinking that maybe Xiao Huai'an could help persuade his father not to be too gullible with others, as soon as he saw Xiao Huai'an's eyes on the cup of tea on the table, Yang Huairen immediately explained to him.

"Lord Xiao is here, this afternoon my father and Master Ma of the Ministry of War have been talking for a while, I am afraid that you will come too early and run into it, fortunately the time is staggered, I don't know if Lord Xiao will find anything when he goes out this time?"

"Master Ma?" Xiao Huai'an was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yang Fujian, who was a little uncomfortable putting the booklet in his hand back on the shelf, and Yang Huairen, who was smiling lightly, and quickly figured out what it meant, and stepped forward to greet the two.

"If you have the ability to carry out such a big thing secretly, it must be a high-ranking person, such a person can get the trust of His Majesty, and there are few ministers who are not supervised, speaking of which, I did have some different discoveries and unexpected joys when I went out this time."

"Sit down and talk slowly." As soon as they heard this, Yang Fujian and Yang Huairen suddenly became energetic, and made a gesture of please, a few people went to the opposite shore foundation, and a few people sat on the candle.

In order to avoid having ears on the partition wall, Xiao Huai'an came over this time, and few people in the house knew about it, and even the person in charge of serving tea did not arrange it. Fortunately, Xiao Huai'an was not in a hurry to drink tea, but only hurried to tell what he found first, so as not to go back early, so as not to be discovered by Su Jiao that his whereabouts were wrong.

"In fact, a person like Master Ma, he has always been cautious in the imperial court, never had bad relations with others, and he himself is not a talkative, so there are not many people who associate in the capital, but I found out a little thing from his property, but I don't feel like a very important thing."

Xiao Huai'an lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, frowned slightly, he had always acted decisively, and it was rare for him to hesitate so much, Yang Fujian heard it strangely, and he was also very concerned, so he couldn't help but sit up straight and ask anxiously.

"You just say what you find, and we can analyze it together."

"Yes, at the beginning, Master Ma was equivalent to barely sitting in the military department, plus his personality problems, so few people bothered him for trivial matters, naturally, his own money and rewards could not be supported, doing these things, there were only a few industries under his hands, one was a teahouse, and the other was the Transportation Bureau."

The teahouse can be used to investigate the news, and the transportation bureau is even more important, trade between countries has to rely on the escort of the person in charge of transporting the goods, and Ma Ge's special situation in the court, so few people will suspect that there is something wrong with her.

However, the money he earns from these two industries may not be enough to make such a long-distance transportation operation.

To sum up, although Ma Ge is suspicious, he still has to line up in the back in front of other people who have more obvious movements.

Yang Fujian nodded, actually thinking about whether there would be anything inappropriate about what he said to Ma Ge today. Yang Huairen also thought for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"What about the others?"

When the people in the house were talking, Mrs. Su Yang Ruopei heard that her family had a banquet for a day today, and now Yang Fujian's father and son were still in the study, and she hadn't seen them for a day, so she thought about coming over to greet her, but she didn't think that outside Yang Fujian's study, she found Liu Fu's housekeeper who was hobbling over.

"Fauber, what are you doing here?" Yang Ruopei couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, why was this Steward Liu's steps so sneaky, and Leng Buding stepped forward to speak, startling this butler.

"Oh, my eldest lady, why didn't you make any footsteps when you walked here, it scared me." Fu Bo patted his chest and sighed, because it was too late and the candlelight was dim, even if Xiaolian was playing a lantern next to him, Yang Ruopei didn't carefully see the expression on Liu Fu's face.

Fu Bo finally slowed down his accelerated heartbeat, turned around to look at Yang Ruopei, pulled the old bones of his body, and slowly curtched his knees.

"Don't blame the eldest lady, the old slave just looked at the Hou Ye's study, and now the lights are still on, worried that they are busy with something at night, so they want to send some fresh and fire-reducing tea, but the Hou Ye also said before, we are not allowed to come and disturb, so I am embarrassed to go up and knock on the door, it just so happens that the eldest lady is coming, can I ask the eldest lady to give this cup of tea to the master."

Yang Ruopei hadn't heard anyone call herself that way for many years since she got married to him, and hearing it again was like going back to when he was a girl, and he couldn't help but feel fascinated in his heart.

She sighed in her heart, reached out and took the cup of tea from Fu Bo's hand, and nodded, "I know, I just want to go to see the eldest brother, since this is the case, leave it to me, you go back first, lest the stubborn temper of the eldest brother come up and get angry for a while, and it is not good to tire your kindness." ”

"Yes, thank you, Miss."

Fauber promised, and if he didn't stay long, he looked down at the path on the ground and left. Inside the room, Xiao Huaian frowned and said.

"In addition to the question of Master Ma of the Ministry of War, the other ministries of Shangshu, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry, needless to say, are only engaged in some restaurants and cloth houses and other industries that are relatively easy to see profits."

"Master Jin of the Criminal Department has a few Zhuangzi, but because he is young and vigorous, he doesn't bother to take care of them. As for the household department, for the sake of Jiao'er saving Miss Zhang before, almost all of the properties under his Zhang family and the Earl's Mansion are in our understanding, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Among the members of the imperial court, the Taiwei is now passable, and the prime minister is already seriously ill and dying, and this position has been hovering for a long time.

As for the titles of princes and marquises, they are almost all watched under the eyes of the emperor, and they never have such a great ability to go out of the capital and quietly contact other small countries, so Xiao Huai'an focuses on investigating, that is, these six scholars.

"Li Shangshu has always supported the third prince to ascend to the throne, so everything he does in private is to prepare for the future. Most people did not dare to make a mistake because they were afraid of His Majesty's grace, but this person was the only one who was a civil servant and did not pose a threat, so he quietly expanded his own industry.

"Using his relatives again, or buying a petty official, or investing to become an imperial businessman, is simply doing everything, and now his sphere of influence is only what we have investigated, and it has spread to Nankang and the Wa Kingdom, not to mention that he has other hidden individuals that are difficult to investigate."

Xiao Huai'an frowned slightly, if it weren't for the things Li Shangshu did and the preparation to study carefully, he would not be so excited.

When the words landed, Yang Fujian and Yang Huairen also often learned that death is not trivial, but then again, there is also a dot of the cross key.

"It's just that since he has always supported the three princes, why is it the five princes who are sent to observe and lobby the countries, if he has these preparations in private, he should discuss it with the three princes, and the two of them should work together to avoid revealing things."

Yang Huairen was full of puzzlement, and in addition, in fact, there was another point, due to temporary negligence and excessive reassurance, he didn't take it to heart at all.

is that the fifth prince Xu Ruzhu because Su Ri belongs to the kind of people with mediocre qualifications in the eyes of everyone, and this time he lobbied the Japanese country to seek peace, but it was only regarded as because the prime minister of the Japanese country also had the meaning of reconciliation, so the two people happened to be the same, but they ignored Xu Ruzhu, maybe he really has this ability and can do this kind of thing.

Xiao Huai'an listened to Yang Huairen's words, traced the time, and unconsciously remembered, I am afraid that it was not because of that time, the third prince Xu Rulie had just hooked up with Su Lian, and the two of them were so affectionate that they were reluctant to leave Wenrou Township.

He coughed lightly, and he was really embarrassed to say such embarrassing words, so he paused, and was just about to continue what he had said before, when he suddenly heard a small commotion outside the door.

He immediately closed his mouth, and the whole person stood up vigilantly. Xiao Huai'an's nervous action provoked the father and son of the Yang family to hang their hearts, and soon the door was opened and it was only Yang Ruopei.

"Big brother, Ren'er, why haven't you gone to rest until now, isn't there something really embarrassing, why don't you drink a cup of tea and wake up." Huai'an? How did you end up here? ”

Yang Ruopei said with a smile, came in and put the tea on the table, only to suddenly find that there was Xiao Huai'an behind him, and the two figures were stunned.

Xiao Huai'an was definitely a little embarrassed for her inquiry for no reason, Yang Huairen saw this, and hurriedly came over to break the embarrassing situation, "Well, we have something to do, so we invited my brother-in-law to come over and talk." Auntie, you are, it's so late, don't go back to rest, how good is it to be tired, just leave these things to the next person. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ruopei didn't continue to investigate, looked at Yang Huairen and sighed softly, "You still say, if someone is waiting, I don't have to worry about you, I met Fu Bo outside just now, and he said that no one is allowed to disturb him, so he was embarrassed to send this cup of tea, I happened to want to come and see you encountered, so I helped him send it over and asked him to go back first." ”

"Fauber, he doesn't look like such a careless person." Yang Huairen was puzzled and muttered quietly, it happened that Xiao Huai'an came over to meet Yang Ruopei, and just blocked his words.
