Chapter 862 A Little Trouble

She actually heard the old man say that the two counties where Bai Zhizhou went were not at peace, and the old man thought of Brother Yu and cherished his talents.

Before setting off, they made a few special remarks, but whether they could listen to them or not was beyond their control.

Thinking of this, Wu Anren looked at Bai Yunxi and comforted him softly,

"Master Zhizhou is calm and courageous, and he is also a hot new champion. Naturally, the people below do not dare to make mistakes. Although the people below are a bit wilder than Bu Fucheng. But when the imperial officials go to inspect, the people are in awe. Forgive them. Don’t dare to make any mistakes, Yiren just relax, maybe he’ll be back in a few days.”

"An Ren is out of touch. Lord Zhizhou, he and Brother Yu are brothers, both juniors. You can just call him Xiao Wu."

Listening to Wu Anren's comfort, Bai Yunxi already knew in his mind that things were indeed not peaceful down there, and it was indeed very risky for Xiao Wu to go out this time.

Even if she knew, there was nothing she could do now. Fortunately, Xiao Wu brought an honor guard. She hoped that these people were not embroidered pillows and could be more helpful when encountering problems.

"Oh, that can't be done. Even my master has to call An Sheng "Master Bai" when he sees An Sheng. How dare I, a housewife, go beyond that?"

Wu Anren curled up the corners of his mouth, chuckled and waved his hands again and again. Even if he was Brother Yu's godbrother, they couldn't trust him.

"Aren't you a foreigner now? I have always regarded you as relatives. Before I came to Fucheng, Brother Yu kept talking about you. I heard how my aunt and uncle were good to him and how loving they were. Keep it in mind, so when I came to Fucheng, I didn’t treat myself as an outsider.”

Bai Yunxi said, giving her a scolding look, "I dare you to shave my head and pick a hot head."

Wu Anren couldn't help laughing after hearing Bai Yunxi's teasing tone.

"Forget it, I'm going to ask you to do something big today. In the future, Master Zhizhou will also call me aunt, and I will be very proud to be an elder with such an outstanding son."

His rank and status were placed here, and if she showed favor to her, she would appear to be ungrateful.

The master heard some rumors that the people above him valued Xiaowu very much, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Xiao Wu left you for the first time, and I was worried about human nature. But that child is smart, calm and courageous, and my master has always admired him. Even if there is a little trouble, he can handle it well and smoothly. Come back. Just put your heart in your stomach."

Listening to Wu Anren's comfort, Bai Yunxi nodded,

"I'll tell you the truth. The moment Xiaowu left the house, my heart was always hanging. I couldn't sit still at home, so I came to you to bother you."

Baiyunxi sat for a while, and the two chatted a few more words, then stood up and left.

"After nagging you for so long, it's time for me to go back."

"How can this happen? It's so hard to come here, but why do you have to have lunch before going back?"

Wu An refused to let him go and insisted on keeping someone to eat with him.

Bai Yunxi shook his head and stood up.

"When Xiao Wu comes back safely, I will hold a banquet in the mansion, and I will have to ask for a favor then."

"You see, aren't you laughing at me? If you were to host a banquet, even if I didn't have an invitation, I would still be shameless enough to attend."

"That's settled,"

Bai Yunxi insisted on leaving, but Wu Anren did not force him to stay and stood up to see him off.

As soon as the two of them reached the gate, they met Mr. Wu who had returned from an outing.

Seeing Bai Yunxi appear at the door of his house, Mr. Wu's eyes flashed and he understood, and he cupped his hands towards her.

】

"It's almost noon, why don't you leave the guests for lunch?"

Listening to his master's question, Wu Anren couldn't help laughing.

"I would like to stay. Yiren is thinking about home and has to go back in a hurry."

Listening to the tone of the couple, Bai Yunxi also laughed.

"I made an appointment with An Ren just now. When Xiaowu returns from his inspection, I will hold a banquet at my house. The first post must be delivered to your door."

"Then I'll be waiting."

The couple watched Bai Yunxi get on the carriage and leave, then turned to go home.

Master Wu pursed his lips and walked in the yard with his hands behind his back. Wu Anren followed beside him, looking at his expression and asking softly,

"Does the master know the purpose of Bai Yiren's visit?"

Listening to the lady's obvious question, Master Wu glanced at her sideways.

"I know that you have always treated the Bai family differently, and you have always favored them because of Brother Yu's relationship. However, when Lord Zhizhou goes to inspect government affairs, some troubles are inevitable. How to deal with troubles and how to do things beautifully are all It depends on his personal skills.”

Listening to the master's tone, Wu Anren was stunned.

"Are you saying that Xiao Wu will really be in trouble?" Wu Anren covered his mouth with a look of shock.

"Xiao Wu?"

Master Wu raised his eyebrows when he heard this title.

After not seeing each other for a day, his wife became much closer to the Bai family.

Seeing the master's teasing eyes, Wu Anren's expression was sly.

"It's called Shunkou together with Bai Yiren."

Mr. Wu clasped his hands behind his back and spoke in a low voice,

"Of the two counties under Bai Xiaowu's jurisdiction, Liang County produces salt, and the black market there has been flooded with illegal salt recently. The prefect was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation."

"Bai Xiaowu's purpose this time is mainly to find out whether the private salt has any connection with the official salt. Whether there are officials involved. Such a big thing can only go smoothly."

Wu Anren's expression immediately changed after hearing the master's reminder.

"What? Let him, a newly appointed official, go to investigate illegal salt? Isn't this equivalent to killing him?"

What does private salt represent? Even if she is a woman in the harem, she knows that thing cannot be touched. Anyone involved in private salt is a stubborn person who wants money but not life.

Lord Wu looked at her worried eyes, glanced at her, and said lightly,

"It is a foolish dream to want a smooth career. Even if you can avoid trouble this time, there will be next time, and the next time. You will always have to grow up by yourself, but he is facing things earlier."

After working together for a few months, he can see that the boy is calm and has some skills, but he has too little experience.

Maybe this encounter will make him grow up quickly.

The problem of private salt has not been solved in the past few years. The prefect always raised it high and put it down lightly. This time he suddenly ordered a strict investigation, which was a bit weird.

He thought that the prefect might just want to give him a warning.

So although he will encounter trouble this time, it will not be a big problem.

If Bai Yunxi was here at this time, he would definitely disagree with Lord Wu's judgment. The prefect asked Xiaowu to handle this matter, obviously wanting to trample him into the mud and completely defeat Xiaowu's spirit.

Taking advantage of this to settle a personal grudge.

Listening to the master's indifferent tone, Wu Anren was worried,

"Should we talk to the Bai family?"

It's okay if it's a little troublesome, but if it's not really a problem, Amitabha.
