"I have something to tell you." Xiaobao said.

He set his sights on Baijiaxing: "I came all the way here to find a way out."

Baijiaxing's eyes flickered: "Xiaobao, what do you mean?"

When Xiaobao's "retreat" was revealed, Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining were also a little surprised.

"In order to support me, my mother was forced to board the ship of the Secret Investigation Department." Xiaobao started. This sentence was something no one could have imagined.

"Before you arrived, my mother and I had just settled in Wushu Village for a short time, and were carried into the Secret Investigation Department by Bai Hua;

I don’t know whether to thank Bai Hua or hate him! Without him, my mother and I would not be able to make money quickly;

However, after being coerced by him to join the Secret Investigation Department, my mother experienced a narrow escape from death;

But my mother said that Bai Hua is one of the few people who can treat everyone equally. She said that his mind is very simple and he has no evil intentions. I will not comment on this;

You also know that my mother is actually more innocent. She is not willing to think bad things about people. However, the Secret Intelligence Department is the emperor's eagle dog, and my mother is now the emperor's...

My mother has a very smart mind. She can summarize things that others don't notice and improve them. That's why we have blast furnaces, soybean oil, and everything we have today;

She was afraid that she would be imprisoned by uneasy and well-meaning people and become their money-making tool, in which case she would not be able to support me;

So she once said, since I am a "tool man", hugging the emperor's lap and being a "tool man" for the emperor, it is relatively safe and allows me to grow up without worrying about food and clothing;

But, are the emperor's thighs so easy to hug? What if the emperor treats his mother as a fat sheep? After fattening, should he kill her and eat her meat? "

The metaphor of "hugging the thighs" is very appropriate. Although no one has said it this way, everyone can understand it.

However, everyone did not expect that Xiaobao could think of this at such a young age.

"That's not the case..." Bai Jiaxing said hesitantly: "Your mother is very cautious. Your mother has been distributing her property to everyone. She told me that she can't make it too big or draw too much attention to others.

You thought your mother would have taken precautions a long time ago."

They are all a group of good people, Xiaobao thought. Just like her mother, she has too little defense. People are sinister. People who can become emperors are not more discerning than people like us. How can we be so reassured?

"No matter how my mother disperses her property, do you think she is growing stronger day by day?" Xiaobao asked.

"Now she has attracted people's attention. For the sake of cotton, you see, a group of businessmen are going to intercept and kill her. If the stepmother attracts the attention of the emperor in the future...

My mother is still in charge of the intelligence transmission of Voss Country. What do you think of the crime of 'communicating with foreign countries'?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. You have connections with foreign countries? How can you frame someone so falsely?

"Also," Xiaobao turned to Xiao Sining: "You are all veterans. Although you are retired, you are still very young. If war breaks out again, you will be recalled and return to the battlefield."

Xiao Sining nodded, that was indeed the case. They were pretty good and could retire when the time came. In the past, unless they were dead or disabled, they would never have left the military camp.

"But have you ever thought about how outsiders would think that there are thousands or hundreds of you in my mother's army now? My mother respects herself as a soldier and challenges the imperial power? There are not so many veterans in the Duke Hong's palace," Xiaobao said.

Xiao Sining was excited: "We are of the same mind as the boss! We will never drag the boss down. If the boss has anything to do, we will respond to him!"

Xiaobao sighed: "Really? That's why you and your mother are of the same mind. If someone really slanders you in front of the emperor, what will the emperor think?"

Furthermore, my mother respects you for protecting the homeland and the country, and is not willing to let the warriors who protect the country bleed on the battlefield, shed tears on the battlefield, and live in poverty. She is willing to work with everyone to work hard for a better life;

How can I let you fight against the imperial court and go through life and death just to protect her?"

Xiao Sining's eyes were red: "We are not afraid of death! The boss has given us a second life by allowing us to live decently in the world; otherwise we will continue to be refugees, or we may kill people and set fires to make a living, and become bandits!"

In that case, you will live for the sake of living, and you will not be sure what you will do, and you will not be able to live like a human being!"

Xiaobao patted him and told him not to get excited: "Mom will not let you do that, she will not want to see you die for her.

It is inevitable for my mother to become bigger and stronger. Otherwise, how can we maintain the current situation and ensure the income of the emperor and the Secret Investigation Department?

The emperor will only want more, not less, and my mother will definitely make the business bigger and bigger."

Bai Jiaxing said: "However, the brothers have dispersed to various places. During the Chinese New Year, the brothers told me privately that they were also afraid of causing trouble to the boss, so they spread out as much as possible. They would develop business in various places and accumulate wealth for the boss.

, if the boss needs it one day, they can help him anywhere."

Xiao Sining responded: "Yes! As long as the boss raises his arms, there will be brothers all over the country to take care of you. You and your mother don't have to be afraid!"

Xiaobao was very touched. His brothers were worried about their mother and son. After sniffing, Xiaobao said, "But you are just civilians."

Everyone was silent.

Yes, they are just civilians. Without official positions, they have no rights. No matter how hard they work in business and want to compete with larger forces, they have no capital.

Xiaobao said: "I encountered bandits on my way home a few years ago. I don't believe the emperor didn't know about it, but did he say anything? No! He valued the benefits brought by my mother, not the person she was!

Think about it, if my mother were Bai Hua and had an official father to protect her, or if she were Song Tingshan and had a cousin who was the emperor's daughter-in-law, even if there was nothing and her mother was a man, the emperor would still be like today.

Are you so indifferent?

The emperor’s only support for his mother is probably the sign that says ‘Jing Biao Jie Jie Filial Piety’!”

This is a bit biased, everyone thought, after all, this "Bao Qingxiang" was given a title and a plaque by the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Xiaobao continued: "Which of the rest of the supporters is not plotting more? 'Bao Qingxiang', 'Blue House', 'Bao Qingsheng', which one does he not want the money from?"

Baijiaxing thought, and he overturned his previous idea! Apart from the sign for the widow, the emperor really didn't give anything for free!

"The emperor gave me a house, but it was my mother's blast furnace drawings and soybean oil prescriptions in exchange for it! Besides, how long will my mother be able to live in that house?" Xiaobao added.

Yes, in the past few years, Chu Qing had been traveling around various places. In order to grow cotton, he was ordered by the emperor to live in "no fixed place".

"Right now, mother doesn't dare to release the refined salt in our house. A single piece of cotton will cost you money and kill you. What will happen if the salt comes out again?" Xiaobao turned to Baijiaxing again: "Do you know? Who is Wu Jichang among us?

A dead man!"

"What?!" Bai Jiaxing was shocked.
