"Master Chang, please don't get excited. This poison can't poison us yet," Ma Daoye said.

"It's better for the second master to go and check it out in person at night." Yun Chengzi also said, "Anyway, it's just a matter of waiting for a while."

"Is this poison really harmless?" Although Chang Maoming knew that there was poison in the food, he did not see what it was. "Also, two Taoists, will there be no problem if Long Baoer is alone next door?"

"The poison is poison, but it is ineffective against you." Yun Chengzi said, "The antidote you just took will be almost invulnerable to all poisons within three years, unless it is more poisonous than the snake demon."

Ma Daoye smiled and said nothing.

Poisons more poisonous than snake monsters almost do not exist, and even if they do exist, it makes no difference. Because that level of poison would definitely kill you if you touch it.

"Is that so?" Chang Maoming was a little surprised.

"As for Long Bao'er, the little girl is very smart, so don't worry. Moreover, the two maids can't hurt her. There is Bingzi guarding the door. Let's not alert the snake now."

"What the two Taoists said is true, then let's wait a moment." Chang Maoming nodded, "Did something happen to Mr. Ma today?"

Ma Daoye nodded and recounted everything he encountered on the path this afternoon.

"What Long Baoer said cannot be false, so there must be a large number of them there..."

"Needless to say Master Ma, Chang knows where they got the money and even the amount."

Both Ma Daoye and Yun Chengzi looked at him.

"Last year, the birthday plan that Jiangcheng Road sent to the capital disappeared halfway. Not only did the gangsters have no way of finding it, but even the officers and soldiers who escorted it were missing. It seemed as if they had disappeared from the world."

Chang Maoming said, "The Holy Father originally wanted to use this money as military expenditure. There have been some changes at the border in the past two years, but I didn't expect that something like this happened."

"How much silver?"

"Jiangcheng Road is the most prosperous and prosperous place in Dayu, and although the money is said to be for birthdays, it actually includes the tax revenue of the year, which is a million taels. Originally, there should be no problems in transporting officers and soldiers, but it happened Something went wrong.”

"One million taels!" Yunchengzi and Ma Daoye looked at each other, and even Xue Zhen's eyes widened.

One million taels of silver is not too much, but it is not too little to say that it is small.

Even among the established nobles in Beijing, those who can come up with this number would probably have to break their muscles and bones.

Not to mention those ordinary officials.

It was effortless for the Chang family to come up with the money.

In fact, I don't have more than this money in my hands now, so the imperial military expenditure was not delayed and was allocated first.

But this incident made the Holy Father furious, and Chang Maoming was specially transferred back to investigate the matter.

It was precisely because of this that Chang Maoming came back many years ago.

But now I have only found a few clues, and I found this place.

"Don't let me know that Chen Xuanzhi is related to this matter, otherwise, even if we are brothers for many years, I will never show mercy."

Chang Maoming was shocked and angry now.

Just now he didn't understand why Chen Xuanzhi poisoned him. Now, he still didn't understand anything.

Wealth and silk are very attractive, let alone millions.

After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

It would cost millions, and it would take a lifetime to get it.

Now that I have the money, not to mention his brother, I am afraid that my mother and I will kill him when we come. Not to mention that whether Chen Xuanzhi is his mother or father, they are gone.

Even his old father-in-law, to whom he had been grateful for many years, the master who taught him benevolence, righteousness and morality, passed away a few years ago.

What else can limit him.

Chang Maoming sighed deeply.

At this time, Long Baoer was still in his room. He had just taken a bath. His hair was clean and fragrant, and his hair was being carefully wiped with soft cloth by the maid.

On the Arhat couch in the guest room, there was a small table in the middle with a small bowl of porridge already placed on it.

Inside the white rice porridge are old Japanese melons cut into small pieces, which have been cooked soft and glutinous.

Some sugar and dried fruits are sprinkled on top, making this bowl of porridge even more attractive.

There was only a slight dampness in his hair. Long Baoer waved his hand, "Sister, there's no need to wipe it. Long Baoer is going to drink porridge."

"Okay, Miss Xue." One of the two maids stopped to help her arrange her hair and clothes. The other took a small spoon and gently stirred the Japanese melon porridge to make it cool enough to eat, and fed her at the same time.

Long Baoer waved his hand, "Long Baoer can eat it by himself."

The two maids looked at each other and agreed with a smile, but did not go away. Instead, they waited nearby, wiping Long Baoer's mouth and so on.

Unexpectedly, although Long Baoer is young, he has very strong hands-on ability. When I'm at home, I eat by myself. I don't need help from others at all, and I don't get it all over my body or face.

The two maids marveled, "This is much better than our young master."

"Yes, I heard that when our young master was four years old, he wet the bed and often stained the table when he was eating."

"Shh, stop talking. If someone hears us, we will be scolded by the housekeeper."

"Hey, speaking of butlers, don't you think the old butler has been acting weird lately?"

"It's a bit. I used to like the old housekeeper, and I wouldn't scold us for trivial matters. But recently...I've been deducted money several times. And..."

"And what?"

"And the little son that the old housekeeper brought back was really bad. When I came back from the east courtyard last time, I happened to meet him in a deserted place. He was so violent and unreasonable to me. If the master hadn't happened to pass by..."

"Whatever he does to you..."

"Ah? Could it be that he also treats you..."

The two maids looked at each other with sadness in their hearts.

"I thought that the master and his wife are good people, and we won't be angry in the house. In the future, if I ask the wife to appoint a steward to marry, I can also be a decent wife."

"But now my wife is seriously ill, and the master is often away from the house. The old housekeeper is everything, and his son is acting like this. We..."

"Sisters, if someone bullies you, fight back!" Long Baoer tilted his head and looked at the two of them and said, then he put another large spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
