Forbidden Objects

But if this happens, there will be too many things involved. Bai Xiong was silent for a moment, and told Bai Bao some recent major events: "Those people dare to take action against the dignified girl from Duke Ping's mansion, and

They dare to frame it on the head of Su County Lord. I think they seem to have great hatred for His Highness and the Su family. Brother, this matter must be handled well."

Xiao Heng and Su Rong are very kind to the Bai family, and if the situation becomes chaotic again, the Bai family, which has already chosen a side, will inevitably become the target of public criticism. To say the least, this matter affects the future of the Bai family.

of.

Bai Bao patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, your eldest brother knows it all. If I don't go there, it's not easy to arouse suspicion if someone comes over."

He is just at home and not dead. Isn't it normal for some of his old subordinates to come over and chat?

When White Bear heard what he said, he knew that he knew what he was talking about, so he didn't say anything more. He talked to White Leopard for a while, and then went on his own errands.

Not long after, a Sicheng from the Craftsmanship Department received an invitation from Bai Bao, and went to the Bai family the next day.

As soon as he saw this person, Bai Bao smiled: "It's been so long since I last saw him, and he still looks so smart and capable. Sit down!"

Zhou Ruomin cupped her hands towards the white leopard with a wry smile on her face: "The adults are making fun of the villains. Now that I don't care about anything, what else can I do?"

The drinks on the table were already prepared, and Bai Bao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "How do you say this? Brother Zhou, you are a good hand at drawing and making lamps. Even when you were the toast, I didn't praise your craftsmanship.

Damn it, why are you saying that you don't care about everything now? To be honest, I have something urgent to ask for your help here. The Water Splashing Festival is coming soon, and I also want to ask you to make some exquisite lanterns to present."

Zhou Ruomin looked a little sad and shook his head: "Don't mention it. Since you left, Yuan Liu has been supporting his people. No matter which department he is in, he has the most people. I could barely touch those people before.

Drawings, but these days, I have become a transparent person, nothing needs me."

Bai Bao reached out and poured him a glass of wine: "How could it be? In the past years, most of the lanterns we had here were made by you, the most exquisite ones. Don't Liu Yuanwai know? Besides, the situation this year is particularly different. Now the imperial court

After taking power, all the officials from top to bottom have changed. Doesn't he want to make the lanterns more exquisite so that the craftsmanship department can go further? To win the favor of those noble people? "

Zhou Ruomin became even more angry when he talked about these things. He was so angry that he was almost smoking. He snorted coldly: "To be liked by the nobles? How could a person like him who follows the trend not want to be liked by the nobles? Recently,

Isn't that why the craftsman is forced to work all night every day? It's just that he doesn't want to lose face to someone like me who is not him."

When he heard that he was working all night, Bai Bao's eyes darkened, and then he shook his head: "No, he wouldn't be working all night just to please his superiors. Otherwise, yesterday, when Uncle Yong Ding went to work as a craftsman, he wouldn't have had that attitude.

Yes. Uncle Yongding is here.

Come here, everyone knows that Yong Dingbo is a popular person in front of His Highness, wouldn't it be better to please him directly? How could a person like him, who tends to be popular, be the kind of person who would rather stand out by doing a good job in lanterns than to please people directly?

people?"

Zhou Ruomin was stunned by what he said, and then looked at him hesitantly: "What do you mean, sir?"

"Ruo Min, you are both willing and able to do things. I won't hide many things from you." Bai Bao cleared his throat: "In the past, it was because the chieftain liked him and I didn't like to fight for power, so I also withdrew.

down, but now it’s different

.If he really does things honestly, it would be fine, but he seems to be harboring evil intentions. I suspect that he tampered with the lanterns, and that's why he is so afraid of people investigating. Ruo Min, you must help me with this matter.

It’s up to you to check it out!”

Zhou Ruomin was startled. After digesting what Bai Bao said, he asked with some confusion: "Zheng Aren, what is going on?"

Bai Baoyan told him the matter in a concise and concise manner, and finally said: "You know some things without further explanation. If it is really him who is playing tricks, he will not tell him for fear of implicating the entire craftsmanship department. We

There are so many brothers in the craftsmanship department, how can they accompany him to go crazy?"

Not to mention others, Zhou Ruomin was the first to not want to be implicated.

Good things don't happen to him, but bad things happen to him. How can there be such unreasonable things in this world?

He sneered and said proactively: "If you are tampering with the lanterns, there must be something wrong with the materials. I will check it out and we will know."

Although he is not allowed to be reused, there is always no problem in checking some scraps. After all, Liu Yuanwai can't control the corners.

Bai Bao nodded and specifically warned: "Be careful. Ask the workers on duty and the craftsmen. If you ask anything, come back to me directly."

Zhou Ruomin agreed with a solemn expression.

He has always been holding his breath towards Liu Yuanwai. Liu Yuanwai is always jealous and fussy, and he is very stingy, but he can tolerate these things. But if he tampered with the lanterns, Zhou Ruomin couldn't accept it at all. You know, the most important thing is to make lanterns.

The most important thing is safety, because most lanterns are placed in downtown areas. At that time, people are coming and going on the streets. Countless people gather there to watch the lanterns and wait for the annual event. If something happens to the lanterns, there must be someone.

How many people suffered?!

He anxiously returned to the craftsmanship department, said hello to the people below, then calmed down and went around the workshop first.

Now everyone knows that Zhou Ruomin has lost his popularity, but everyone knows that he likes to make lamps. He used to come to the workshop from time to time, and no one thought there was anything strange about it.

Zhou Ruomin looked around and couldn't help but ask: "You've been working on it all day long. Logically speaking, this lantern should have been finished a long time ago. Why are you now looking like you've just started?"

Someone who had a good relationship with Zhou Ruomin secretly pulled him away, coughed a few times and said, "I'm afraid the lamps I made a while ago are not the lamps to be handed over. They are probably the benefits that our member Liu kept for himself."

This is not unprecedented. Generally, those in charge of the craftsmanship department often take on some private work. They use the raw materials of the craftsmanship department to take orders from outside workshops and stores. Anyway, the materials and labor do not cost money, and they are all earned.

.

Zhou Ruomin's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately guessed that there was something fishy about the previous batch.

He secretly pulled the man out and asked where the lanterns had been delivered.
