In one night, the changes were so fast that people were caught off guard, and Ma Bihe could only plan for the worst. Except for her father, Master Ma, no one knew the whereabouts of the large sum of money.

Ordinary business transactions, using hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as turnover? The only ones who can come up with this amount are the merchants in the capital of Daqi. And doing big business at the feet of the emperor must be protected by someone, and there are people behind him as support.

Ma Bihe figured out the joints, but only felt fear, especially, her father was an ambitious person in his bones, and he was not willing to be a merchant.

If the money did not support the soldiers in the camp north of the city, where did it go? If they support the barbarians, the whole family will only get the reputation of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and everyone will be implicated and lose their heads.

"Are you thinking too much?"

Li Haitang was also taken aback by Ma Bihe's speculation. If things really got worse, she couldn't save Ma's family.

However, it seems unlikely that Mr. Ma gave the money to the barbarians. Perhaps the matter was too complicated for them, and Mr. Ma just transferred the money.

"Haitang, I know you are trying to comfort me."

Ma Bihe took a deep breath so that she could calm down for a moment, and her body stopped shaking. She suppressed the fear in her heart and said, "If it is really my father who transferred the family wealth, how can I say that the two hundred thousand taels of silver borrowed make sense?" Woolen cloth?"

The lender is the He family, but Master He doesn't know the slightest bit.

When Ma Bihe asked, Master He was also confused, and he didn't look like he was pretending. Moreover, at that time, his father borrowed money, and there were two or three witnesses, all of whom had a good relationship with his family on weekdays and had contacts with merchants.

"My father is like this now, I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up."

For some reason, Ma Bihe was a little lucky. Even if her father did something wrong, she couldn't admit it, and the higher-ups couldn't do anything about it.

So, now she just wants to plug the hole of the two hundred thousand taels of silver, and not be in debt, even if her family's life is a little worse, it doesn't matter.

You have to plan for the worst in everything, in case her father does something irreparable, and the servants in the family are dismissed, so that too many people will not be implicated by her family.

"There is hope, but it's slim."

Li Haitang thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, in short, don't have too much hope.

"Haitang, my family is like this now, and the debt with the He family has not been settled yet, so Yue Hetang's share cannot be given to my cousin He Yuexiu."

It would be best to give it up to Zhang Ruyi, so that the three of them would share one share, but Zhang Ruyi was in the capital, and Ma Bihe was eager to make a move, so he could only come to Li Haitang with the cheek.

Her portion included two shops, and the cost of nearly twenty thousand taels of silver, totaling it all, it was about twenty-five thousand taels.

"You have to think about it. I can lend you the money and return it to me when you have enough money. You don't have to transfer it to me."

Li Haitang is unwilling to take advantage of others' danger. After all, Yuehetang has been expanding, especially in Licheng. Because of Xia Zhifu's help to take care of it, the business is booming, and there are many high-end jewelry in the shop, which is very popular with rich people. The little lady loves it.

Yuehetang is a business that makes no losses, and earns money every month. Basically, the money invested in it before is almost recovered.

Stopping at this time is tantamount to giving up the benefits to others, and the other party just took advantage of it.

"I know what you mean, but it's really not necessary."

Ma Bihe refused again. In the past few days, she took inventory of the shops at home, exchanged all the shops that could be sold at a low price, and then collected 200,000 taels and returned them to the He family.

In this way, the two will be settled in the future, and there will be no burden on her.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and she can no longer be the eldest lady of the Ma family, but it is not too miserable. Anyway, there are big houses in the countryside, and there are hundreds of acres of fertile land, which must be enough for a family of several.

"In this case, I will not refuse, but if you need help in the future, come to me."

The two sisters chatted for more than half an hour. Before leaving, Ma Bihe sent two house deeds and transfer documents, which meant that Yue Hetang would have nothing to do with her from now on.

It was sunny after the snow, a rare good weather in the twelfth lunar month.

Li Haitang wrapped the small bean bag tightly and took it out to bask in the sun in the yard. With the deed in her hand, she thought about what Ma Bihe said, and analyzed it, it is really not impossible.

The truth is unknown, but she found Bai Bing and asked Bai Bing to send a message to her savage husband at the camp in the north of the city.

In half an hour, Xiao Lingchuan came back.

"Husband?"

Li Haitang stood up, stood on tiptoe, and patted the wind and frost on the body of her savage husband, very strange, "Why are you back?"

It stands to reason that Xiao Lingchuan would not return halfway until nightfall, and there were still many affairs to be dealt with at Daying in the north of the city.

"There is something, let's go back to the house and talk."

Xiao Lingchuan's face was condensed, his body was too cold to hold the little bun, so he had to hand the bean bun to Nanny Yu who was waiting at the side.

That's it, he even kissed Doubao's tender face. The little bun was so painful and itchy from his father's stubble, he immediately opened his teeth and claws.

"What's the matter?"

There was something wrong with the atmosphere, Li Haitang hurried back to the house and said, "It's because I asked Bai Bing to send you a message, so..."

"Yes and no."

Xiao Lingchuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Lady, I'm afraid I have to go out of the city today, and it may take a few days."

The so-called going out of the city is of course not leaving the border town to go to Lucheng, but leaving the border town and going to the outside of the city or Surabaya City. Li Haitang is no stranger to Surabaya City, which is the territory of the barbarians.

"Are you leaving today?"

Some things, what should happen, will happen naturally, and they cannot be stopped.

Although she knew that going to Surabaya City was extremely dangerous, she couldn't find a reason to stop her.

"Leave tonight."

Xiao Lingchuan was silent, the more the lady understood him, the more guilty he felt.

Went to the camp in the north of the city this morning, and entered the main tent of the army, only then did Xiao Lingchuan realize that Yun Jinghong had disappeared!

But the guarding soldiers at the door didn't know when Yun Jinghong left, and there was no sound, only a letter was left on the table.

Yun Jinghong entrusted all the soldiers of the northern camp to Xiao Lingchuan. As a man and a father-to-be, his own woman couldn't protect him, and he deeply felt that he was incompetent.

If you can't save Tassel, you will die together.

The camp in the north of the city can live without Yun Jinghong, but it cannot live without Xiao Lingchuan. He made this decision after deliberation, not on impulse.

If he missed Tassel once, if he missed the second time, it would be a farewell. No one knew the barbarian's viciousness better than him.

He has to go, not capriciously. However, he would not act rashly like a stunned young man, but would first inquire about where Tassel was being held, and then try to save him.
