Chapter 121

Shao Yue paced up and down the room. Finally, he sat heavily on the stool and said in a heavy tone: "I don't believe it's true. He must have deliberately made a fake roster. In this way, even if others found the roster, they couldn't find out the evidence of his adultery with the enemy."

Bai Xian held different opinions. She went to Shaoyue and said softly, "general, I think this roster is true. CHEN Si has been in the Northwest for many years. He thinks no one dares to search his study, not to mention it was found from the dark space."

Shao Yue looked at Bai Xian's small face shining with self-confidence. For a moment, Bai Xian didn't know how to refute it. Bai Xian continued: "therefore, the roster is true, and corruption and bribery are also true. The general put the roster away first, which is also a crime of CHEN Si."

Shao Yue nodded. Although he had no conflict with CHEN Si and had always acted independently in the court, Chen Siqian shouldn't have taken the position of the commander of Yunnan city and amassed money wantonly: "then how should we find evidence of CHEN Si's collaboration with the enemy?"

On the way here, Bai Xian had long thought that things would not be solved so easily. Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime. Any official who dares to cooperate with the enemy privately wants to remove all traces. Where will he leave the handle waiting to be caught by Shaoyue?

"There must be some evidence. Since LV Ying has searched all over the study and has not found it, it shows that Chen Si must have put it in a very hidden place. We can only send someone to approach CHEN Si first and then make plans."

Bai Xian said and moved in his heart: "general, why don't you let brother Lu first investigate Chen Siping's life and all his life trivia, hobbies and habits."

Shao Yue coughed softly and didn't understand the use of Bai Xian's investigation of these information. Did he want to find clues from CHEN Si's daily life? However, this large number of useless messages will certainly interfere with the final judgment.

"Xian'er, what does that mean?"

Bai Xian blinked playfully: "general, do as I say first. When there is a result, I'll tell you the next plan."

Shao Yue went to war with his grandfather general Shao Lao when he was very young. Of course, the Shao family army also had advisers, but those advisers always said all their plans under the majesty of general shaolao.

Bai Xian is now acting as a counselor around Shao Yue, but she always likes to look at it step by step, or hide the plan in her heart. She will speak out only at the right time. Strangely, Shao Yue doesn't feel disgusted.

He likes watching Bai Xian's funny smile very much. He likes watching her sitting quietly reading. He also likes the rice cooked by Bai Xian and

In short, seeing Bai Xian's smile, Shao Yue temporarily forgot his doubts, went out to find LV Ying and told him to investigate CHEN Si's daily life.

In fact, Bai Xian has no bottom in her heart now. In order to prevent Shao Yue from asking herself again after coming back for a while, she took Su Qingliu to the kitchen of the inn, just to avoid Su Qingliu finding the difference.

Xu shilv Ying had already taken care of it properly. Bai Xian was not hindered in the kitchen. However, seeing that there were not many vegetables and meat in the kitchen of the inn, she deliberately talked to the kitchen cook: "are the dishes in Yunnan city very expensive? We just came from Chang'an and returned to Yunnan city for the first time today."

The cook didn't know that Bai Xian wanted to take the opportunity to understand the news of Yunnan city. He smiled bitterly and said, "madam, you'll get used to living a few more days. The price of Yunnan city is much more expensive than that of other places."

Bai Xian pretended to be puzzled: "really? The rice in Chang'an is only two dollars a kilogram. What about Yunnan city?"

The depression on the cook's face is more obvious: "two years ago, the rice in Dian City was five dollars. This year, when we fought with Chu, the food in the West was less. It is estimated that it may rise to seven dollars this winter."

Bai Xian couldn't hide her surprise. The rice price in Yunnan city was so high, which made ordinary people how to survive. She sighed and started cooking quickly.

Su Qingliu gave Bai Xian a hand and looked at Bai Xian's excellent cooking. She was puzzled but didn't ask much.

Bai Xian and Su Qingliu came back to the room with the prepared dishes. Looking at Shao Yue's appearance that they wanted to interrogate her, Bai Xian kept complaining. Su Qingliu quit the room after setting the dishes.

Shao Yue stared at Bai Xian. Seeing that she had been afraid to look at her and tried to avoid her own sight, he knew that Bai Xian didn't want to say the plan now.

But people are curious. The more Bai Xian doesn't say it, the more curious Shao Yue is. He strongly pulls Bai Xian's arm, leaving Bai Xian's face nowhere to hide.

"Xian'er, what do you think? Can't you really tell me?"

Bai Xian pretended to be pathetic: "Song Lang, I'm hungry. Let's eat first. You know, I talked to them in the kitchen just now. The price of rice in Dian City is almost three times that in Chang'an. I don't know how people here can bear it."

Although Shao Yue was born in a rich family, he has many years of experience in leading soldiers to fight. He still knows the life of ordinary people. For the largest number of ordinary people, being able to eat enough is the driving force and goal for many people to live hard.

Rice is the food that everyone can't live without. The price of rice in Dian City is so high that it seems that other things are higher than elsewhere. The living cost of the people in Dian City is high. He dare not rashly say that this is the result of Chen Sitong's squeezing the people behind the enemy. However, the current situation is so that it is absolutely inseparable from Chen Sitong.

Shao Yue sighed: "I hope they can find out the truth as soon as possible," he glanced at Bai Xian, "can't xian'er really tell me the plan?"

Bai Xian resolutely shook her head, personally took Shaoyue a carrot he didn't like to eat, and put it into each other's plate: "Song Lang just needs to wait."

Shao Yue smiled bitterly and looked at the carrot. Unexpectedly, Bai Xian was so naughty that he took revenge on himself in order not to ask any more questions. He picked up the carrot and stuffed it into his mouth.

Bai Xian held back her smile and asked Shaoyue, "how about my food? Is it still as delicious as before?"

Shao Yue swallowed the carrot, but he saw the power of Bai Xian and dared not speak disorderly in the future.

The two happily finished their dinner. Shao Yue still couldn't keep down his worries. He was not only worried that Chen Si was cunning and would see through their identity, but also worried that Bai Xian was too confident and made mistakes in implementing the plan.

Therefore, Shao Yue, who had just picked up his confidence from the carrot, began to admonish Bai Xian: "xian'er, I know you don't want to tell me the next plan now, but I still want to say that Chen Si has been an official for many years, and there are many followers and supporters in the northwest. Promise me, you don't act on your own, and we must discuss it together this time."

Looking at the sincerity in Shao Yue's eyes, Bai Xian understood that what he wanted to express was not his distrust of himself, but his concern for his own safety. Her eyes were red and almost shed tears. She had lived for nearly a year in ancient times. Except Bai Mu and Bai Xiu, only Shao Yue was worried about his own safety every time.

The moved Bai Xian didn't know how to comfort Shao Yue, so she had to turn her back and pretend to be angry, so that Shao Yue couldn't continue to say what he meant.
