It has been more than two years since Ruiniang went to Linyi. During this period, she has returned a thick pile of scattered information from her investigations in Linyi. However, there is very little information related to military and political matters. On the contrary, it involves money.
There is a lot of information about the goods.
After all, my cousin's mother is the boss of Feng Yiwei, so Ruiniang naturally puts a lot of thought into this aspect.
Li Chongrun would ask one or two questions every once in a while, and he would only ask about important matters related to the stability of Linyi's small court, but he never asked about specific details.
Looking carefully today, Li Chongrun saw some abnormalities from the information accumulated over the past year.
It was just that it was getting late, so after Li Chongrun registered and kept the files, he returned to Suiyuan with a thick stack of information.
Recently, the two wives have shown their love. The mountain residence in the tenant camp has mountain spring water that can be used to make water air conditioners. They took Wang Rong and his family to the small house that Li Chongrun disliked in advance.
They also took Wu Qi and Wei'er, who were pregnant together, to live in the villa.

There were only a few de facto bachelors left in Suiyuan such as Li Chongrun and Li San, as well as a few people who needed to attend classes.
After dinner, Li Chongrun held a thick stack of information and started writing on the big blackboard in the study. However, although it was not the hot summer in July, a stream of hot air steaming up from the ground still blew.
The more he calculated, the more upset he became.
Hearing the bell outside ringing nine, I simply rushed to the big pond in the garden and swam a few laps with a few big red-tailed carps that had been fed like little pigs, and then I swayed out of the pond.
Jumped out.
Taking the cool grape wine that had been quenched in a deep well, Li Chongrun took a big sip and burped comfortably, ignoring the fact that a lot of wine slid down unscrupulously from his bulging belly.
Li Chongrun stretched out on the bamboo lounge chair prepared nearby, looked at the bright stars, and let out a long groan: "It feels so comfortable!"
Li Chongrun smelled a very familiar fragrance of pear flowers, and pulled a piece of silk handkerchief to wipe away the wine on his stomach.
"Hey!" Li Chongrun was startled and jumped up from the recliner in one step.
Most of the maids in the mansion followed them to the small villa, and Xianhui was busy working on the steam engine in the West Factory. Now there are only Bao'er and her close mother in the Suiyuan house.
No matter who it is, it's not suitable to see me wearing only calf pants.
"Sister-in-law Fang'er said that my brother has been unruly and unrestrained since he was a child. He didn't expect that he could be so free and easy as to go swimming with Dabai and the others. My sister really admires him."
Bao'er's sweet voice sounded from behind him, and a fine linen robe was thrown onto Li Chongrun's shoulders.

Wrapping himself up in a robe, Li Chongrun looked around to see that there wasn't much fat exposed, and then turned around.
Sister Guo'er has wavy curly hair tied into a very casual bun. She wears a plain tulle dress. Her fair and clean face has no red hair, but she still has an aggressive youthful atmosphere in her smile.
bloomed in time.
As the movements opened and closed, a faint scent of mango blossoms came over one after another, until it tickled the tip of one's nose.
"What's the point? When I was in Shendu, one year it was really hot. I saw that my aunt and Fang'er were both sleeping, so I filled several buckets of water in the stone trough covered with snow and slept comfortably.
All night."
Li Chongrun rubbed his nose and told some of his dark history to ease the embarrassment. "The next day, I was licked awake by Gai Xue who wanted to drink water."
Baoer, who was so teased by Li Chongrun's little joke that he laughed so hard that he stretched out his hand and pulled a small stool over, sat down at Li Chongrun's feet. The brother and sister talked about some embarrassing things from their childhood and made some jokes.
It was not until the clock struck ten o'clock that Sister Guo'er felt a little sleepy, so she went to the bedroom to prepare for bed at Li Chongrun's urging.
After coaxing his sister away, Li Chongrun had not finished the calculation just now. He drank the already warm grape wine in two or three gulps, then wandered back to the study, took a piece of chalk and prepared to continue his calculation.
"This account doesn't seem right."
Bao'er's voice rang out from the study window.
"I feel the same way. I don't know where a lot of money has gone." Li Chongrun replied subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that Bao'er had been urged to go to bed by him. When he turned around, he saw Bao'er.
With her long white legs, she climbed over the window and climbed in. "Why don't you go to bed? Children won't grow taller if they sleep late."

In line with the principle of not looking at anything inappropriate, Li Chongrun hurriedly covered his face with the sleeves of his robe, but his fingertips only felt a slip, and a small hand as thin as gelatin took over the chalk head he was holding.
"Seeing that brother is still busy at work, sister Xianhui has helped him a lot. As a sister, Bao'er can't just eat dry food all day long?" Bao'er took the chalk and circled a few numbers on the blackboard. "
I don’t know where this account belongs, but these expenditures are obviously more, and they are getting more and more.”
"Let me take a look and see that these expenditures are for military pay and ordnance going to the border. There has been friction between Linyi and Zhenla recently, so it is normal to spend more."
Li Chongrun flipped through the information in his hand, and it took him a long time to find out where the money was spent.
"If we move troops to the border, we won't be able to raise many troops in Linyi, and the cost in other places will be less, but there is no such thing." Guo'er took the chalk and drew a big arc on the blackboard,
Pointed to another number.
"Furthermore, the county cousin's funds include several thousand dollars, which were also spent on mercenaries. He spent three times on one thing. How is it possible to say that there is nothing fishy in this?"
Bao'er threw the chalk tip into the wooden trough under the blackboard and clapped her hands neatly, as if she was a little Wang Rong.
"Hey, that's not right. Is it possible that Mr. Zhang taught you how to check accounts? I heard that he is almost too poor to uncover the truth. How can he still have this skill?"
Li Chongrun felt that his sister's arrogance was more and more like Wang Rong's, and he thought that this little girl might have skipped school and went to Wang Rong's place to fight in the autumn wind.
"Mr. Zhang has nothing to teach me anymore. Recently, my sister spends half the day at the press reviewing books, and the other half at her sister-in-law's place to help check the accounts." Bao'er glanced at Li Chongrun cautiously, his big watery eyes very attractive.

Zhang Ruoxu is a well-known talent in Jiangnan. His two sisters have only been here for less than a year, and they have already left him with nothing to teach them. If they are considered geniuses, this is indeed a bit too much.
"Then let me ask you, what does the five-color fish mean?"
"Shui Jing Zhu." When Guo'er saw Li Chongrun opening his mouth to ask, he simply blocked him back: "Many of the classics that Mr. taught were taught by my mother before. Guo'er was in Fangzhou before, which was very boring and couldn't go out.
, I can only read for fun all day long..."
Seeing Guo'er talking about the gloomy part, some crystal light flashed in the corner of his eyes as he lowered his head. Li Chongrun knew that his two sisters probably had some unpleasant childhoods, so he had to gently hold her in his arms and pat her.
shoulders to express comfort.
"It's okay, it's okay. Since your husband has recognized your knowledge, when you get to my brother's place, you can play whatever you want."
Wen Yan comforted Bao'er for a few words, and Li Chongrun returned to the previous topic: "So, where did the money go?"
"Could it be that the bandits are trying to respect themselves?"
Guo'er came up with a bold idea.
"The old men in Linyi's army have been tortured by Yubi one after another in the past two years. How can anyone have the qualifications to say how to support the bandits and respect themselves?"
Although Guo'er's opinion was quickly refuted by Li Chongrun, he still gave Li Chongrun a warning: "Could it be Lao Bai?"

"Who is Lao Bai?"
Bao'er didn't know Li Chongrun's original arrangement, but Li Chongrun was rummaging through the information pile at the moment and had no chance to talk to her.
"I found it. There is indeed a problem with the transfer of money and food in these two places."
Li Chongrun dug out several letters he had exchanged with Yubi and checked them carefully: "Yubi said that there was friction between the border and Zhenla, but these two transfers of money and food occurred before the friction occurred, so the living conditions did not match up.
, it’s more like the officers and soldiers on the front line deliberately pick fights with the other side when they have money.”
"So there are still people in the small country of Linyi who spend money to go to the border to find trouble." Guo'er curiously turned over the letter Li Chongrun took out: "If the love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? No wonder my brother
He is able to coax two sisters-in-law and a new sister-in-law into submission, and he also raised a queen outside as a child. If you write a love letter, if your sister sees it, she will want to marry you."
"Go, go, you kid, what do you know..." Li Chongrun's old face turned red after being laughed at by Bao'er: "If you don't go to bed so late, be careful not to grow taller."
While talking, Li Chongrun pushed Bao'er out of the room.
"It can't grow any longer. It's already tall enough. If it grows any longer, I won't be able to marry!"
"Nonsense. My brother is here and I will give you a huge dowry. I don't think anyone in the world wants to marry you." After yelling, Li Chongrun finally kicked this noisy little girl out.
"Then I will go directly to my sister-in-law's place tomorrow to help."

"Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead."
"Okay!" Guo'er got the permission and went back to sleep happily. Li Chongrun suppressed the smile on his face, sat back at the desk, and started to write a letter to Yubi under the flickering light, preparing to write himself
Tell her what you discovered.
The problem with the money and food exchange happened three months after Lao Bai started to stir up trouble in the Linyi court. All the evidence shows that this matter is inseparable from Lao Bai.
Lao Bai himself recommended it to Yu Bi. Although the effect of using a treacherous minister to purge the court was obvious, it was somewhat of a crooked move. He didn't arrange more backup plans. He was afraid that if Yu Bi didn't pay attention to this in time, he would die. If the eunuch has begun to lose control, the consequences may be disastrous.
