“Investigate this matter! If you find anything, tell me immediately!”

Xie Xingyun was expressionless. “I accept the decree.”

* * *

Bai Xianyu sat in the carriage and disguised herself as a man and left the capital.

When they arrived. Green Pearl covered her mouth in surprise. “Miss, look.”

Bai Xianyu looked at her helplessly. “Are you still addressing me as Miss?” “Young Master!” Green Pearl hurriedly corrected herself.

There were many people working in the cultivated fields. All of them were sweating profusely. At a rough glance, there were at least a hundred people.

Bai Xianyu observed for a while and walked into the farm.

A white-bearded old man walked out with a wine gourd hanging by his side. “Young Master, you’re here.”

“Well, how many people are here?”

The old man replied with a smile, “No more, no less. There are exactly 120 people. They are ail good seedlings that I have carefully chosen.”

Bai Xianyu nodded. “120 people. This place can only accommodate 500 people ar most.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Perhaps it was time to change places.

It was enough to have so many near the capital. Any more would be easily detected.

However, where to change to…? It would be best if it could provide quick support in times of danger.

However, there was no hurry. There was still a vacancy for more than 300 people, so they could plan slowly.

Bai Xianyu had left them a lot of banknotes. The forging of swords, sabers, and a series of expenses were not a small sum. The expenses in the future would only increase.

At this moment, the Chengqian Palace was terrifyingly silent.

Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and threw the report beside the person’s leg. “The provincial governor of Liang Province committed suicide. Such important news has only just arrived. What’s the use of keeping all of you! ”

“Your Majesty, please calm down!”

Among the courtiers, there were two figures who stood out. One stood on the left and the other on the right. The man on the left had an unfathomable gaze and his fingers supported his chin.

The man on the right was younger, but when he occasionally looked over, he seemed to be able to freeze people into dregs. He had the intimidating pressure of a person who had been in power for a long time.

“A bunch of trash! A bunch of good-for-nothings!”

“Jing Yuan, the provincial governor of the Liang Province has committed suicide. What do you think?”

The man on the left bowed. “I think it might have something to do with the dike breaking.”

Only then did Emperor Wu Xuan’s facial expression improve. “There are still people in my dynasty that 1 can use. All of you, scram! Xingyun and Jingyuan, stay behind!”

“Yes, we will take our leave!”

Everyone left hurriedly in fear.

“Jing Yuan, tell me in detail.”

Bai Jingyuan said, “Why don’t we let the Young Marquis tell us what he knows first?”

“The Liang Province Canal was first built 13 years ago and 300,000 taels of silver were allocated. Later, in the sixth month of the sixth year of the Qian Era and in the eight month of the tenth year of rhe Qian Era, a total of 600,000 taels of silver was allocated. In addition, when the provincial governor of the Liang Province was in office, he borrowed money from the Go Provincial Official Bureau for rhe construction of dikes many rimes. As of the fourth month of the sixteen year of rhe Qian Era, he owed a total of 100,000 taels of silver.”

Xie Xingyun was precise to rhe month. His tone was calm.

Bai Jingyuan continued, “Whether he killed himself or not is up for discussion.¹¹

The meaning behind his words was that he might not have killed himself, but a million taels of silver was so fragile.

It even cost the life of an official of the imperial court!

Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and narrowed his eyes. “Bai Jingyuan, accept the decree!”

“I’m here.”

“I order you to be the imperial envoy. The day after tomorrow, you will set off for Liang Province. You must investigate this matter thoroughly! ’ He paused and looked at the youth. Xingyun will be your deputy. Although he has just entered the court, I believe he can help you when necessary.”

“Your subject accepts the decree.”

Xie Xingyun said calmly, “1 accept the decree.”

Bai Jingyuan knew that Emperor Wu Xuan wanted him to train Xie Xingyun more, but…

He stood up and glanced at Xie Xingyun. He looked even more unfathomable than many senior officials.

He did not know if it was a blessing or a curse for him to like Little Yu.

When he returned to the residence, the guard sent Bai Xianyu a letter.

She tore it open and saw that it was from her aunt!

There were also sisters and brothers in her mother¹ s family, but her mother had passed away early, and Jiangnan was quite far away, so they had never interacted.

The gist of it was that Grandmother and Aunt wanted to meet her after not having seen her for a long time, and when would she be able to return to Liang Province?

Bai Xianyu’s eyes lit up. The waterways in Liang Province were prosperous. It would be fast to transport people. It would not take several months. If it was fast, half a month would be enough.

After all, the vicinity of the capital was under the Emperor s nose. If it were anywhere else, where the mountains were high and the Emperor was far away, she could raise as many death warriors as she wanted.

In times of danger, there would be a place to retreat.

Bai Xianyu was in a daze. A hand appeared out of thin air and rubbed her hair. “I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond. What is Sister thinking?”

She turned around and smiled. “Second Brother.”

Bai Mohuai smiled. “Why are you so happy? Has something good happened?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“What good news? Tell me about it..”
