As soon as Bai Changqing was discharged from the hospital, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and looked up at the sky, but the sun was shining. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't you have an illusion? March is the best and warmest time of the year.

But soon, he learned it wasn't a delusion.

Because he is the richest man in Liyue City, the neighbors and neighboring businesses have a lot of respect for him, and they often greet him warmly, or chat a few words of family life, or talk about business experience. Today, they greeted each other as usual, but there was a strange look in their eyes, some inquiring, some doubts, some ridicule, and even contempt.

Steward Mo followed behind Bai Changqing, and naturally felt strange.

"I heard that Mrs. Bai doesn't love the second lady at all, she is generous on the surface, but secretly she is indifferent and mean, and she only spoils her daughters in her heart."

"I've also heard, you think, if your daughter is sick, the mother is not distressed to death, and takes care of it day and night, the second lady fell ill five years ago, and Mrs. Bai ruthlessly threw her into the old mansion and ignored her for a few years. The second lady is also a big girl, if she is blessed, I am afraid that she will die in the old mansion a long time ago. ”

"This person can't do such a thing that lacks morality. I don't look at my identity, in the final analysis, it's just a concubine, and Shangguan's family is the wife of Zheng'er Bajing, that is, she is dead, and her daughter is also a young lady from Zheng'er Bajing. ”

"The ugly thing of spoiling the concubine and killing the wife, it's too late for the big family to cover it up, where would it be like the Bai family, who actually straightened the concubine's room, and feasted the guests back then, for fear that no one would know about the ugly things of his family. It's no wonder that the Bai family was originally from the countryside, where would they understand these rules. ”

"The second young lady is also helpless to make a fuss about the Gilded Pavilion, if it weren't for such a fuss, I'm afraid that all the family business of the Bai family would fall into the hands of the Ge family."

……

The sound of everyone's discussion was not loud, but every word and sentence drifted into Bai Changqing's ears. Those merchants who were not on the same page with the Bai family on weekdays raised their voices and deliberately let Bai Changqing hear it. Bai Changqing wanted to argue, but he had to face thousands of mouths, how could he speak?!

At this moment, he couldn't wait to turn around and return to the compound immediately, but wouldn't that make him even more weak-hearted? Why should he have a weak heart? The Shangguan clan has already gone, what's wrong with him raising the Ge clan as the main room? Bai Qianqian's girl was originally a bad star, how could the people in the compound ever treat her badly?

Bai Changqing suddenly thought of a sentence in the book, rumors are fiercer than tigers. But where did this rumor come from?

"Master, otherwise, let's go back." Steward Mo reminded in a low voice.

Bai Changqing had a cold face and brushed his sleeves, "Others are talking nonsense, why bother with it." With that, he strode towards the Gilded Pavilion. He made up his mind that he would take over the Gilded Pavilion today no matter what, Zhang Lao was Shangguan Yue'er's person, he was extremely loyal to Shangguan Yue'er back then, and he was also very respectful to him, so he wouldn't deliberately embarrass him. As for the title deed, wait for the right opportunity.

To his disappointment, the gilded pavilion door was closed. Steward Mo slapped the door more than a dozen times in succession, but still no one answered.

Bai Qianqian said outward, three days later, that is, tomorrow the gilt pavilion will be open for business, it stands to reason that at this moment the pavilion should be a hot scene, it is impossible for no one to answer. Then, there is only one possibility, and that is that the people in the cabinet deliberately did not open the door.

A few days ago, he was still the head of the Gilded Pavilion, and everyone in the cabinet was respectful to him, but today he was stopped at the door, defeated like a lost dog, and the anger that had accumulated because of the rumors was even worse, "Then knock on the door, and if it still doesn't open, kick me out." ”

Steward Mo could only continue to call the door, but his hands were red, and he still did not answer. Just as he raised his foot to slam the door, he suddenly felt a pain in his knee and almost fell to the ground.

Looking back, Lord Helan was standing not far away with four officers and soldiers.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, Bai Changqing saw Lord Helan, no matter how big his anger was, he could only suppress it first, squeezed out a few smiles on his face, and said, "It turned out to be Lord Helan." It's just that he won't see it, and his smile is more ugly than bitter at the moment.

Helan Jun didn't smile at all, and his handsome face was gloomy, "Master Bai, the Gilded Pavilion is the private property of the second lady of the Bai family, and it seems inappropriate for you to let your subordinates open the door." According to the laws of the Dakang Dynasty, private property is owned by individuals, and no one is allowed to destroy and rob it without reason, otherwise it will be punished as the crime of destruction.

Bai Changqing's heart sank, he didn't expect Helan Jun to give himself so faceless, and said in front of everyone that this was Bai Qianqian's private property, "Lord Helan doesn't know anything, the little girl is still young, and she can't take charge of the Gilded Pavilion, and she just had an impulse a few days ago that disturbed the adult." Rest assured, I, as a father, should do my best for my daughter. ”

"How Master Bai loves his daughter, Helan doesn't care. Since Helan is the Yin of Liyue City, he should seek the welfare of the people and ensure the peace of the people, and the gilded pavilion is the private property of the second lady, so Master Bai can't act willfully here. He Lanjun said, and took out a roll of warrants, "This is a warrant for Mrs. Zun, announcing that she will appear in court tomorrow." ”

"Appearing in court?" Bai Changqing was puzzled, if because of the fact that the shopkeeper Wang was greedy for the master's money, he should have appeared in court as the head of the family, why would he let the daughter of the Ge family appear in court, could the Ge family be involved in this case? "Dare to ask my lord, is the cheap one involved in this case?"

He Lanjun did not explain, but asked his subordinates to post a notice at the door of the gilded pavilion, and tomorrow the case of the king's shopkeeper who coveted the master's money will be openly tried.

Bai Changqing was deflated, and felt even more gloomy, so he hurried back to the compound, completely forgetting about another major event to be done today. Just as he was on the way back to the Bai family's compound, a vicious look locked on his back, and soon, that look disappeared into the crowd.

Mama Xia returned to the compound half a minute earlier than Bai Changqing, and told the rumors in the city and all the things that happened in front of the Gilded Pavilion.

Ge Shi was originally in a very good mood, but at the moment his face was full of dark clouds, who was spreading rumors behind his back? Could it be that? In order to get the Gilded Pavilion, she really did everything! "You go to the compound to check who the rumors are coming from, and focus on the people who have been in contact with Bai Qianqian these days." If so many details can be passed out, the person who spread the rumor must be someone in the compound, and once it is found out, it will definitely be severely punished.

Mama Xia agreed and walked out of the room.

When Bai Changqing returned to the room, Ge Shi had already had a smile on his face, "Master, are you back so soon?" ”

Bai Changqing was angry outside, and this anger was mostly related to Ge's, so he naturally didn't have a good face for Ge's, "This is the Bai family, I can come back whenever I want!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the old man is angry, Mianmian said the wrong thing." Ge patted his red lips lightly.

"This is Lord Helan's warrant." Bai Changqing threw the warrant to Ge Shi and stared at her suspiciously, "The shopkeeper Wang is greedy for the master's money, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

Ge Shi opened the warrant, and his face sank, "Does the master suspect that I colluded with the king's shopkeeper to plot the silver money of the Gilded Pavilion?" ”

If it was in the past, Bai Changqing didn't believe it, but some time ago he learned too much truth, and he had to be wary of Ge Shi everywhere, if the news he got was true, then he would become the biggest joke in Liyue City! "If this matter has nothing to do with you, why did Lord Helan summon you to the church alone?"
