Ye Zao played with the tassel in his hand: "That's really ...... What a happy event. ”

"Do you want a gift?" Ah Ling asked.

"Silly girl, how do I know where to go to your girl? I don't know. What kind of gift? Ye Zao smiled.

Aunt Song also smiled: "Isn't it?" Concubines are not good at communicating with their families. ”

Ah Ling scratched her head, oh, and said in her heart, this is not knowing? Why do you still say you don't know?

It made everyone laugh.

Seeing everyone laughing, the briquettes screamed and wanted to climb on Ye Zao, and Ye Zao picked it up: "You stinky puppy, what are you going to do?" ”

The briquette didn't understand, but he wagged his tail excitedly, and opened his mouth to look at Ye Zao. I just want to lick it.

Ye Zao stopped: "Don't allow it!" ”

"Woo woo ......" briquettes are so aggrieved.

"No...... Allow. Ye Zao swallowed slowly, looking at the briquettes.

The briquette whined again, then squatted in her arms, looking at Ye Zao aggrievedly with big wet eyes.

Ye Zao also looked back at it: "Don't think that if you pretend to be pitiful, I can agree." ”

As she spoke, she thought of the time when the fourth master looked at her...... She's like this puppy, poor bastard?

Thinking about it, it was a chill: "Go and go, go find your sister Ah Ling." ”

The fourth master, who is far away in Tongzhou, is in a very bad mood.

The snow in Tongzhou is not serious, but Tongzhou paid much less tax money last year, and it is only said that it is a natural disaster.

But all natural disasters are always less, and this is also a matter of no choice.

The problem is that although last year's natural disaster caused a reduction in grain harvests, the small part of the tax is still a little suspicious.

The fourth master doesn't know very well, but the prince is clear.

The reason why Huang Ama called him here was just to find him an errand to do.

This year, Huang Ama didn't go to Mongolia, didn't go to the southern tour, and the crown prince has been put on hold, at the end of the year, he has to do something......

Zhao Wenxuan, the prefect of Tongzhou, has always been loyal, even if there is a problem with the tax and silver, he does not feel that he is the person that Huang Ama wants to take.

I'm afraid that there is a problem with Mao Wenzhong of the household department.

The prince sat in his room, drinking tea and pondering.

The expression is still gentle and elegant, but the heart is already turbulent.

How much does Huang Ama know? Zhili's tax is actually not much, and Tongzhou can do it because Tongzhou is indeed a natural disaster. However, how could Huang Ama stare at this bit of silver?

So, what does this mean?

As the crown prince, should he lead by example? However, it just happened to be the first in this matter? Such a coincidence?

Or, this time...... Is it Hesheri again, or is it the problem of which family is it that is responsible for him?

The prince was a little tired, propped his head, and rubbed his head.

"Master, the fourth master is here." Eunuch Song Bao said softly.

"Please come in, fourth brother." The prince looked up, and he was the prince with a light breeze.

"Say hello to the crown prince." The fourth master came in and gave his hand.

"Let's sit down." The prince waved his hand.

The fourth master sat on the side: "Does the prince have a clue?" You can't check the accounts directly, right? ”

The fourth master is still young now, but he also knows that he can't see anything by directly checking the accounts.

The prince nodded with a smile: "It's just a cutscene here, I want to alarm the ghosts in the capital." The fourth brother sees that there is a problem with this year's taxes, in fact, you and I don't have to come just for this year. I'm afraid that the past few years have not been clean. ”

How much tax can a Tongzhou government have in a year? Even if it's less than half, how much can it have?

It can only be said that the person who did it here attracted the eyes of Huang Ama. The prince hid the glint in his eyes.

"The younger brother thinks simply, but in the end it is not as good as the prince's vision." The fourth master was empowered, but he was also grateful for the prince's guidance.

When the fourth master returned to his house, he hesitated for a long time: "Su Peisheng, send someone back to Beijing to investigate." Don't let anyone know. "Since this matter is deep, you can't drown.

You have to know a rough idea.

"Master, the fourth master really asked someone to go back to Beijing." Song Bao came to talk to the prince again.

The prince smiled: "The fourth brother is motivated, this is a good thing." ”

Since the fourth child is now, it is with him...... So, it's not easy to hide this matter, are you helping the fourth? Or do you look at it? Or, what about falling into the ground?

The second brother looks at you. The sooner you see it clearly, it will save you trouble in the future.

Anyway...... In such a matter, the prince can't be planted.

The fourth master has experienced less in the end.

I didn't know I was in a dilemma. I just thought that I could get the news as soon as possible, and share my worries for the emperor and the prince.

The investigation in Tongzhou was inconclusive, and Zhao Wenxuan, the prefect of Tongzhou, was really clean. At the very least, the face is clean.

Zhao Wenxuan's hospitality was very thoughtful, but the fourth master was like an arrow, since there was no problem here, he could only check with the household department.

Ten days have passed, and the prince and the fourth master and the fifth master have no meaning to stay.

On the day of returning to Beijing, Zhao Wenxuan sent him off, looking reluctant. Calling the prince a few is really eye-opening.

"The second person is not a person who has lived here for a long time." The prince said a word, and got into the carriage with a smile.

The fourth master turned around. glanced at Zhao Wenxuan, who was still standing outside the city.

Xu saw him turn around, and gave up his hand again.

The fourth master turned around and snorted softly. It's just a generation of people who tend to be inflammatory.

Before returning to Beijing, the fourth master had not received any news. This matter finally fell to the household department. The one who handled the tax revenue of Tongzhou was Mao Wenzhong, the head of the household department.

This person is the prince's disciple.

When he found out here, the fourth master felt that it was not good.

Holding the letter and sitting in the carriage, the fourth master's expression was very solemn. He regretted it. It shouldn't be checked.

Now, do you pretend not to know, or continue to check?

It's a pity that the fourth master's subordinates are not mixed, not only Mao Wenzhong was found, but also the accounts of Tongzhou's taxes, and after entering the capital, it was Mao Wenzhong who handled it. The crown prince had a letter with Mao Wenzhong a few days ago.

Although I don't know the content, it is nothing more than to keep Mao Wenzhong's meaning.

The news that the fourth master knows now is a little prickly.

Mao Wenzhong is a Han Chinese, and he has always been a clean bag. How can you be corrupt in Tongzhou tax silver? If you want to be corrupt, there are many opportunities.

So...... Is he greedy for the crown prince?

What does the prince want to do with the silver? The fourth master held the letter paper tightly, and felt that the light and fluttering letter paper weighed a thousand pounds.

Dig down and you'll find a cliff.

The fourth master didn't dare to think that this matter was really the prince's handiwork...... So...... Does Huang Ama really not know?

Huang Ama called him and his fifth brother to come, is it just for this?

Now I really know the eyebrows, but I can't continue to dig. The fourth master was panicked.

"Master, the prince said that he would arrive in the capital in the evening." Su Peisheng came over and said.

The fourth master crumpled the letter into a ball and grabbed it in his hand: "Okay." ”

Anyway, for now, he can only pretend not to know.
