Bai Wen did not dare to open an account in a bank in Beidi, so his private property was kept at home.
Just based on the experience in the old house, Bai Wen will never be placed in one place to prevent it from being stolen.
But the money given to the boss will be given to the person who specially delivers it after almost every sale is completed. Bai Wen does not have any money deposited here.
But after doing business for nearly a year, Bai Wen also had his own contacts, and naturally knew the situation in the capital. In order to avoid making wedding clothes for others in vain, Bai Wen found excuses and always pressed for two or three payments.
.
Bai Wen even made two preparations. If the third prince really fell, he would take the banknote and escape. The safest way would be to escape from the Eastern Han Dynasty and start everything over again.
With so much money, I don't have to worry about having a good life.
As for those grudges, Bai Wen planned to put them aside for the time being, and he also understood that he had no capital for revenge now.
But who would have thought that Bai Dashu actually plotted against him, taking the money and disappearing with his concubine.
"Sir, what should we do about this matter? What if the capital pursues it..." The boy who followed Bai Wen was arranged by the third prince's chief steward. While running errands for Bai Wen, he also wanted to monitor him.
Something happened at that time, and Bai Wen was so anxious that he told the truth, and it was too late to regret it.
After searching for several days, there was still no trace of Bai Dashu. Bai Wen was sure that Bai Dashu must have left Zixiao City.
But Bai Wen couldn't leave. This was an order from above. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, Bai Wen would have to take full responsibility. How could he bear it?
"Let people continue to search." Bai Wen lowered his eyes so that no one could see his expression, but he was a little more dignified than before, "Don't tell the capital about this matter yet.
You have been with me for so long, you should know that I am dedicated to doing things for my master. I will find a way to make up for the money issue. If the chief steward knows that I am not doing things well, he will definitely punish me severely. Even if you are sent by the chief steward
, but you are with me now."
Bai Wen said threatening words, but he took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the boy.
The boy stuffed the banknote into his sleeve without leaving a trace, and then said: "Young master, don't let me embarrass you. After all, this matter cannot be hidden, and it is not a small sum. It will take up to ten days.
The young master doesn’t have a solution yet, so the younger one can only report it.”
"Yeah." Bai Wen nodded, not sure whether he was confident or not.
Under such a premise, Bai Wen ignored the previous low-key rules and was busy making money for ten consecutive days.
The boy just thought that Bai Wen was afraid that his superiors would know about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was occasionally dismissed by Bai Wen, and he didn't notice anything unusual.
On the night of the tenth day, when the young man returned from an outing and was about to report to Bai Wen the intelligence he had received today and what he would report to his superior tomorrow, he found that Bai Wen had disappeared.
After searching for a long time, the boy finally checked Bai Wen's room and study, and then he was shocked to realize that Bai Wen had also run away. He was so frightened that the boy sat down on the ground and touched his neck.
Zifeng learned immediately that Bai Wen was planning to escape from the border fortress, and his target was Beichen Country.
"Have someone follow him, find a suitable place, and steal the money." After Zifeng finished speaking, he added, "Keep his life and some broken silver."
After all, he is Bai Ling's cousin, and Zifeng doesn't want to do anything wrong.
After his subordinates took the order and left, Zifeng sneered: "As expected, they are father and son. This kind of thing of absconding with money is actually done more efficiently by each one than the other."
Zifeng just sighed and stopped paying attention to the Bai family and his son.
The third prince fell, but Bai Wen escaped as a hidden stake. Whether there will be people from the capital coming over, or whether it is the master behind it or not the third prince, these things need to be verified.
However, Zifeng arranged for people to follow Bai Wen's business path, and the matter of making money could not be delayed for a moment. The Zixiao Army's daily expenses were huge, and they could not rely on tax revenue, unless they were given to Beidi.
Increase tax burden.
After all, food is not expensive, and the army has a lot to spend besides food.
Beijing.
Shangguan Yu and his son returned to the capital on the same day. They suffered varying degrees of injuries. Bai Ling made two trips to the Han Palace on that day.
Moreover, both father and son were injured, so they went to the palace to report to the emperor, and then returned to the Han Palace.
Princess Han complained distressedly, "You two are both made of iron, aren't you? For such a serious injury, you can go back to your home for treatment first, and then enter the palace. If you insist on going to see the emperor, I can give you more time."
If you become a noble, I will still reward you with mountains of gold and silver!"
Bai Ling listened and wanted to nod, even though he understood the intention of the father and son, who wanted to use a bitter trick to show their loyalty to the emperor.
But it's not certain whether the emperor bought it, but it was true that the two were injured.
When there were only two people left in the room, Bai Ling pinched the back of Shangguan Yu's hand hard, causing Shangguan Yu to scream in pain.
"I can't stand this little pain. How could I hold on before?" Bai Ling wanted to give Shangguan Yu a lesson, but after hearing Shangguan Yu's cry of pain and looking at the injuries all over his body, he still felt soft-hearted.
.
"I don't want to hold on, but a man doesn't shed tears when he bleeds. There is no need to hold on until you are in front of your own people. After all, I am also made of flesh and blood, right?"
Taking Bai Ling's hand and asking her to sit next to him, Shangguan Yu said aggrievedly: "The emperor's people are still following me. If I go back to the house first, the emperor will definitely be displeased. Maybe I will suffer this time."
It’s all for nothing. If you’re getting married, you have to earn some money to be a wife, right?”
"You mean, it's not mine?" Bai Lingxing's eyes widened, as if Shangguan Yu dared to nod, she would get angry.
From the moment he saw Shangguan Yu's body covered with injuries, Bai Ling was filled with anger and was panicking if he didn't let it out.
Bai Ling secretly thought in her heart that it was best for no one to offend her at this time, otherwise the other party would have to pay the price and take the opportunity to put out the fire.
Shangguan Yu hurriedly raised his hand and swore, and said sincerely: "Ling'er misunderstood, I mean, Ling'er is such a good girl, I naturally want to give the best to Ling'er as a betrothal gift, so I
What makes you want to fight harder is that your man is incompetent and can only lick blood from the knife edge, which makes Ling'er tired, worried and sad."
Normally, if Shangguan Yu behaved like this, Bai Ling would only feel numb.
But at this moment, Bai Ling said distressedly: "Okay, you go and have a good rest, and I'll make you something delicious. If you have anything to say, I'll talk to you after you wake up."
"I want Ling'er to accompany you." Shangguan Yu said aggrievedly: "We haven't seen you for so long, I miss Ling'er."
"I'll stay with you later. Now you're injured and can't go anywhere. Of course, everything is focused on taking care of your health, so I won't miss spending this little time with you." Bai Ling said, quietly sprinkling some soothing medicine.
, "You can recover better if you sleep more, be good."
"Ling'er, you're cheating." Shangguan Yu couldn't even lift his eyelids, so he naturally knew that Bai Ling had used tricks.
"I'm doing this for your own good too." After helping Shangguan Yu lie down and tucking him in, Bai Ling leaned over and kissed him on the forehead before turning around and going out.
In this era, if a man wants to make a contribution, he must make sacrifices.
Especially since the Han Palace was obtained through military merit, Bai Ling could not stop Shangguan Yu from doing dangerous things. He could only regulate his body as much as possible so that he would have less worries. (To be continued)
