    In front of the tent of the first division of the Shenji Left Outpost Battalion, six red lights ran down from the poles, shining brightly.

    General Bao Can and Liu Dusi stood in front of the tent with their helmets on. Behind them were several guards from the first division and Chief Qian. From a distance, they saw a group of people flying horses coming towards the camp. General Bao Can and Liu Dusi rushed to meet them  Going forward, with a submissive smile on his face, he saw the contempt of the generals behind him: If I knew today, why should I be arrogant first and then respectful?

    General Bao Shen has a happy face and doesn't care about other people's eyes.  This person is brave and good at fighting, and has been promoted through many achievements, but he is the most narrow-minded and will repay every grievance. How can he allow others to rebel?  However, when he thought of Yang Ling's expression of wanting to cry after tonight, he felt joy in his heart, and his hypocrisy at this time was no longer an insult.

    Yang Ling brought Yang Yiqing and Man Cang'er, a total of twenty personal guards, to the front of the tent and jumped off the horse. General Bao Shen was startled again when he saw Yang Ling's attire.  In the past two days, Yang Ling wandered around the camp, wearing heavy armor wherever he went. In order to cater to Yang Ling, all the generals in the camp were also wearing armor at this time, as if they were about to go into battle and charge.

    But at this moment, Yang Ling was wearing a Confucian shirt, without even a saber, and stepped forward lightly, without getting dusty.  Several generals in heavy armor and battle robes bowed to meet them, as if they were inspecting the three armies in a prince's academy, and their momentum suddenly became three points lower. General Bao Shen only said that Yang Ling was purely teasing him, and his heart was even more furious.

    Seeing all the generals in armor, Yang Ling felt a little strange. Are banquets and wines in the army so grand? Why is there no one in casual clothes?  Before he could think about it, General Bao Shen and Liu Dusi had already stepped forward to salute with forked hands, Yang Ling hurriedly took a step forward and said: "My colleagues, please get up quickly, they are all brothers of our own family, and we meet every day, why bother to pay respects?"  ?¡±

    General Bao Shen put on a smile on his face and said: "Your Excellency is taking office. The last general and the officials in the battalion have not set up wine to wash away the dust for Your Excellency. Tonight, the moon is bright and clear, and the weather is beautiful. It is rare for Liu Dusi to host a banquet for Your Excellency. How about we not get drunk?"  There is no return."

    Yang Ling replied with a smile, glanced at Liu Dusi, saw that he was nervous and forced a smile on his face, but his eyes kept looking at General Bao Shen, so he couldn't help but secretly raised a little caution.

    In just two days of contact, he already knew that General Bao Shen was self-willed and arrogant. Although Liu Dusi's expression was unnatural, it was in line with his current state of mind. Why was General Bao Shen so enthusiastic and calm, and he had no intention of being forced to bow his head?  Embarrassed?

    It seems that the banquet tonight may not be that simple. Yang Ling turned his head and glanced at Yang Yiqing meaningfully. Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and waved his hand.  After moving, Yang Ling smiled all over his face, and Bao Shen will put his arms in the account.

    *********************************

    In the general's mansion, Youniang and the three daughters of Yutangchun have already cleared half of the accounts.  Xue Limei looked at the account books that had been cleaned up, put down the brush, rubbed her wrists and smiled and said: "Sister Young Niang, let's take a break, look at this, I'm afraid it will take three or two days to clean up, and I'm not in a hurry  ".

    Han Youniang was picking up the account books, straightened up after hearing this, patted her waist lightly with a small hand, and said: "But, just after eating, I troubled the three younger sisters to clean up again. My husband is rough-minded.  , I didn¡¯t say I came to see you, but I went to the banquet of General Bao, I¡¯m really sorry.¡±

    Yutangchun quickly set out four teacups, the tea flowed without leaking, and when it was full, he picked up a cup and handed it to the young lady, half jokingly said: "I think Mr. Yang is very afraid of being with us, he  Great general, are you still afraid of us girls?"

    Han Youniang saw that her eyebrows were half-frowned, and that low-spirited expression clearly revealed a bit of resentment, and she couldn't help but sighed in her heart: "These three girls may be mistaken, and they usually treat me like a concubine and housewife.  , How could I not notice it?

    It's all because the crown prince gave a muddled order. Now that the three eldest girls are in my house, I don't know when the prince will take a fairy girl into the palace. How will he arrange these two girls at that time?  "

    She took the cup and saw Yutangchun's light-white fingers. Under the light, her skin was warm and transparent, like beautiful jade. Not only was her skin white and greasy like jade, but the book-like elegant atmosphere made her elegant and refined, like a fairy.  Where.  Youniang felt a little strange, among the three girls, in terms of appearance, this sister Yu was obviously superior to Xue Limei and Tang Yixian, and she had a quiet personality, quite like everyone else, why did the crown prince treat Miss Tang  What about love?

    Seeing Yutangchun staring at her with dark and resentful eyes, and Xue Limei quietly pricking up her ears to listen beside her, the young lady could only vaguely say: "The younger sisters are as beautiful as angels, even a man would feel uncomfortable if he gets close to her.  Talk about my husband-in-law, you didn't see my two older brothers coming with you today, and you didn't even dare.??Look at you?  "

    Xue Limei couldn't help blushing and said: "We are all women whose lives are as thin as paper. How can we be more blessed than my sister? Mrs. Yang is already a third-rank official in the imperial court before the weak crown.  It must not be difficult for Hou, and my sister will be a first-rank imperial order by then.

    My lord redeemed our sisters so that we could get out of the fire pit. We are really grateful in our hearts, and we are willing to be a maidservant, but your lord does not say a word now. The title of master and servant should not be settled sooner. We met your lord  I don't even know what to call it.  "

    Listening to her tone, it was clear that she couldn't wait for the young lady to clarify their identities. Han Youniang was angry and funny, she glanced at the little girl, and said coquettishly: "Fuck you, it's nice to say, if my husband didn't serve  When I see you being bullied, why would I invite the three of you back? To be maids? My family spent a lot of money, spending 10,000 taels of silver to buy a maid?"

    Spending a lot of money is not buying a girl, so what is it buying?  Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei listened to Han Youniang's words, and their brows were beaming with joy. The two girls glanced at each other quietly, their faces full of joy: Today, I finally got Youniang's letter, and I don't need to wait in the middle of the night again.  Lying on the bed anxiously guessing what the adults are thinking, the words of the young lady sister are more effective than the imperial decree in Master Yang's mind.

    Xue Limei picked up the tea and took a hasty sip, then immediately rolled up her sleeves, showing her well-proportioned and white wrists, she sharpened her inkstone vigorously and said, "Sister, let's work harder and try to clear out a bag tonight.  , find the evidence as soon as possible, so that our master can punish that clumsy old Baotou."

    After drinking tea, Yutangchun ran over like a butterfly and squatted on the ground to sort out the account books. Han Youniang was puzzled, but Tang Yixian was the only one who didn't move. Looking at her in the blink of an eye, she was sitting at the table,  The two delicate eyebrows were frowned, and he stared at the account book in his hand in thought, as if he didn't hear their words at all.

    She was holding the pen holder and poking her cheek repeatedly, then suddenly shook her head and said to herself, "No, there must be something wrong with this account".

    After hearing this, the young lady hurried over and said, "Xian'er, what did you find?"

    Tang Yixian pointed to the account book and said, "Sister, do you think there is anything wrong with this account book?"

    Han Youniang looked at it carefully, and said strangely: "Isn't it just an account that records the purchase of charcoal Oh! Something is wrong. This military camp is built next to the mountain, and some firewood is available. Why buy charcoal?"

    Tang Yixian gave two "smirks" and said triumphantly: "This is not a problem, the senior officer in the camp, you must use charcoal for heating, drinking and eating shabu-shabu in the tent, my sister will guess."

    After she dialed it a little, the young mother also found out the problem, and she couldn't help saying excitedly: "It's not right, it's really not right, there must be something wrong with this account book."

    Upon hearing this, Yutangchun and Xuelimei rushed over and asked, "What did you find? Show me."

    Han Youniang pointed to the page and said: "Look, this account shows that in May last year, I purchased 500 catties of charcoal, and the following is the expenditure situation. Look here again, on August 14th, I purchased another 700 catties of charcoal  why do you use so much charcoal in spring and summer when it is supposed to be used only in winter?"

    Yutangchun looked at it and said: "It's a bit strange, and his miscellaneous things are recorded in a big account, why is the charcoal alone accounted for separately? Butthe account for the consumption of silver taels  The amount is not large, so what are these few pennies worth?¡±.

    Sitting on the chair, Tang Yixian shook his head and said, "Haven't you heard of white rice and yellow rice?"

    Yutangchun and Xuelimei heard Qiqi's cry and said, "That's right, it's not impossible."

    The case of white rice and yellow rice happened only a few years ago. At that time, it was famous in the capital and well known to every household. The young lady didn't know about it, but Yutangchun and Xuelimei knew about it.

    At that time, Li Guang, the great eunuch favored by Emperor Hongzhi, died of illness. Hongzhi superstitiously believed that he had the magic of immortality, so he asked Jin Yiwei to search his house, but found this account book, recording the amount of yellow rice and white rice in the house.  At that time, Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand what he meant, and he was still wondering why Li Guang's family had a small population, so why did he buy so much rice.  After the minister's explanation, he realized that it refers to the amount of gold and silver. In a rage, he ordered someone to raid his home.

    Xue Limei said excitedly: "Yes, the price is uncertain, one tael can mean one hundred taels, one thousand taels, but what does this charcoal refer to?"

    Tang Yixian snatched the account book and put it into his arms like a baby, his face flushed with excitement: "Well, when I tell Master Yang, he will naturally find out."  Yutangchun and Xuelimei looked at her as if they were afraid that others would take credit for her achievements, so they couldn't help smiling at each other.

    At this moment, a sullen voice said with a smile: "I'm afraid Mr. Yang will not be able to find out about this matter."  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
