Chapter 34: The Meeting

"Jia Zhen is confused, right?" Lin Ruhai really couldn't figure out why Jia Zhen married a small official. In this era, marrying is not as simple as marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter, but also a way to form an alliance or exchange interests. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the Qin family to bring benefits such as power and property to Ning Guofu.

"Not necessarily, he's just too big in his heart, thinking about the left and right." Bai Tang thought of the speculation in Hongxue, combined with the current situation, and said, "Zhi is talented and sparse, and he is smart, and Ning Guofu is the end in his hands." ā€

Lin Ruhai and Jia Zhu were both taken aback.

"Why did Brother Xian say that, do you know the inside story?" Lin Ruhai and Jia Zhu were waiting for Bai Tang to solve their doubts, Bai Tang was already unfathomable in their eyes, and it was not strange to know some inside information that they didn't know.

"I do know something." Bai Tang picked up the teacup and found that the water in it had been drunk. Jia Zhu was very eye-catching, and immediately stepped forward to fill the teacup with water.

"The daughter of the Qin family is not Qin Bangye's biological daughter, it is said that she was brought back from Baoshantang." Bai Tang sold a pass first.

Foster child? Isn't that even more unworthy of Jia Rong? Lin Ruhai and Jia Zhu looked at each other.

Bai Tang hooked the corners of his lips: "In fact, the identity of the daughter of the Qin family is extraordinary, but the golden branches and jade leaves born in the outer room of the abolished prince. ā€

Lin Ruhai and Jia Zhu were stunned! After reacting, the two of them couldn't rush to Ning Guofu and beat Jia Zhen violently, it was best to beat him to death. Did he greet the boss at home like this? And with such fanfare! This is a disaster for the whole family!

"How can Brother Zhen take refuge in the abolished prince? Although the relationship between the emperor and the abolished prince has eased now, it is difficult to say whether the prince can be restored. Jia Zhu was so worried.

"Your eldest brother Zhen has not only taken refuge in the abolished prince, he should also have taken refuge in the eldest prince." Bai Tang pointed out, "Wooing the officers in the army, it may be for the crown prince, or it may be for the eldest prince." ā€

"What?" Jia Zhu didn't know what to say, "He's playing with fire!" ā€

"He's casting a wide net and not putting his eggs in one basket, but he doesn't know that the superior hates people like him the most." Bai Tang sneered. Does Jia Zhen think that the princes are all fools? Let him be deceived.

Lin Ruhai also frowned deeply: "Brother Xian, can you find a way to get Jiafu out of it?" ā€

"Yes, Divide!" Bai Tang said very lightly.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Zhu shook their heads again and again, this era attaches great importance to the clan, there is no big reason, and the light yƬ will not break away from the clan.

"Then find a backer, a backer who is strong enough to protect the Jia family!"

"Backer?" Jia Zhu smiled bitterly, "The only backer who can be stronger than the eldest prince and the abolished prince is the emperor, right?" But how can the emperor pay attention to a little person like me? ā€

Bai Tang hooked his lips and smiled: "Then you asked for your uncle!" ā€

"Uncle?" Jia Zhu looked at Lin Ruhai in surprise.

Lin Ruhai stared at Bai Tang in shock, let out a breath for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that nothing can hide from the virtuous brother." ā€

He secretly took refuge in that person, but on the surface he was still on the emperor's side, how did Bai Tang know that his position had changed?

Bai Tang smiled back: "Brother Lin saved that one, and he has already marked that person with the label of that one openly and secretly." ā€

"I ignored it." Lin Ruhai's heart was shocked, there was such an obvious flaw. It seems that the emperor has already known that he has taken refuge in the four princes, so he will transfer himself to the Ministry of Rites, which has little actual power.

"Brother Lin doesn't have to worry. If the emperor is really dissatisfied with you throwing yourself into the four princes, he will definitely not transfer you out of Jiangnan. Bai Tang saw Lin Ruhai's worries, so he comforted him.

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, only he, who has been in Jiangnan for nearly ten years, knows how bloody the Jiangnan officialdom is now, and it has become the second battlefield for the princes. If Bai Tang hadn't arrived at the beginning, Moyu would have fallen victim to the conspiracy of a certain prince. During that time, I was so angry that I finally got out of that vortex after sending out a life-saving elixir that was hard to change. If the emperor is really dissatisfied with him and votes for someone else, he will not let him leave Jiangnan at all, and will let him die directly in office!

"Brother Xian, do you think that person can succeed?" Lin Ruhai consulted Bai Tang's opinion. For Bai Tang, who has a mysterious background and outstanding ability, Lin Ruhai thinks that her vision is also extraordinary. He has no bottom in his heart now, and he urgently needs someone to give him a reassurance.

"Brother Lin doesn't believe in his vision?" Bai Tang smiled.

"Brother Wei feels that his vision is good, the one who is steady, hard-working, forbearing, and a master who does great things. It's just that the brother trusts the vision of the virtuous brother more. ā€

"Brother Lin sees it well, that one hundred percent can get on top."

"I didn't expect that the virtuous brother had such a good opinion of that one", Lin Ruhai thought of the instructions of the fourth prince, so he took the opportunity to say: "That one who knows the name of the virtuous brother from somewhere, and I really want to know the virtuous brother." Can you have time to meet that person? ā€

Right in the middle.

Bai Tang nodded: "Okay, I also want to meet the future True Dragon Son." ā€

Jia Zhu was at a loss: "Uncle, master, who is the one you are talking about?" ā€

Lin Ruhai smiled similarly to Bai Tang.

Bai Tang said: "I'll take Jia Zhu with me then." ā€

Lin Ruhai nodded and instructed Jia Zhu: "Zhu'er, you come to my house tomorrow." ā€

Jia Zhu could only nod, curious about the "nobleman" in the mouths of the two elders.

The next day, Bai Tang officially met with the four princes in the teahouse diagonally opposite the Kit Kat Pavilion.

"Bai Gongzi, long admiration!" The four princes looked at the people in front of them carefully, and secretly praised in their hearts, that kind of bearing, even among the princes, few people can have! - Bai Tang said: That's a bonus to the game system, in fact, she is a little citizen who doesn't even know what extravagance is.

"Four Princes!" Bai Tang raised his hand and made a gesture, and did not bow like Jia Zhu.

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, not angry at Bai Tang's equal attitude towards him, in his opinion, Bai Tang is such a capable and not afraid of imperial power is willing to associate with him, and it can be regarded as his honor.

There are only four princes in the room, Lin Ruhai, Jia Zhu and Bai Tang, the four princes are very satisfied with Jia Zhu's ability to take refuge in him, after listening to Jia Zhu's actions and Bai Tang's confirmation of Qin Keqing's identity, the four princes were surprised, even he didn't know that the prince had such a daughter, Bai Tang actually knew. Such an unpredictable person is terrifying.

"The intelligence ability collected by Bai Gongzi is subdued!" The four princes raised their wine glasses and toasted to Bai Tang.

Bai Tang raised his glass and replied: "The intelligence organization of the Four Princes is also not to be underestimated, I have just come to the capital not long ago, and the people of the Four Princes have already mastered my actions." ā€

"Shame!" The fourth prince sincerely apologized, "I disturbed Bai Gongzi, and please forgive me!" ā€

"Well said!" Bai Tang drank the wine in the toast in one gulp and brightened the bottom.

The four princes also finished the wine in one gulp, and Jia Zhu, as the junior with the lowest status among the four, hurriedly filled the two with wine.

"Bai Gongzi's behavior is crisp and neat, Lao Jiu has planted a big heel this time, which is really happy." Since everything has been said, the fourth prince doesn't mind letting Bai Tang know his guess about her.

Bai Tang smiled: "I am a businessman, and I am talking about harmony and making money. But if anyone provokes me, I won't stand it. People respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot; If anyone deceives me, I will repay it a hundredfold. ā€

"If Lao Jiu likes something, he will never give up if he doesn't catch it. Bai Gongzi's actions can stop him for a while, but he can't stop him all the time. As long as Lao Jiuhui comes over, I'm afraid that I will have to do something to Kit Kat Pavilion! The fourth prince reminded.

Bai Tang picked up a chopstick leek: "I have confidence in my medicine, no matter how much I treat it, no matter how I make up for it, if the Nine Emperors want to regain their strength, it may not be possible in this life!" ā€

The Four Princes, Li Ruhai and Jia Zhuqi fought a cold war. It's so ruthless, the Nine Emperor Princes will become eunuchs in this life! Well, we must not offend Bai Tang in the future.

The fourth prince's cold face showed a gloating smile: "Lao Jiu can't calculate others now, and Lao Jiu has no money bag to help him buy people's hearts!" Bai Gongzi, thank you very much! ā€

Bai Tang returned the salute: "The attention of the four princes does not need to be more focused on the eighth prince and the ninth prince, but the eldest prince and the second prince, I am afraid that there will be changes in the near future." ā€

The fourth prince's heart moved: "What did Bai Gongzi hear?" ā€

Bai Tang pointed at Jia Zhu: "The four princes can ask my apprentice." ā€

Jia Zhu was stunned and waved his hand again and again: "I don't know anything!" ā€

Bai Tang smiled slightly: "You just need to tell the list of those in power in the army that Jia Zhen contacted to the four princes." ā€

Jia Zhu was puzzled, but still said according to Bai Tang's words.

The fourth prince's eyebrows were frowned, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped the table: "The eldest brother and the second brother are going to lead troops to force the palace!" ā€

Lin Ruhai took a deep breath: "The eldest prince and the second prince are so bold? ā€

"It's all ticked by that position." Bai Tang pouted, thinking that the eldest prince and the second prince were simply stupid, the emperor was the big boss, and even the fourth prince had an intelligence system in secret, how could the emperor not have it? How can you hide what happened in the capital from the big boss, the behavior of the eldest prince and the second prince is equivalent to dying under the emperor's nose, and it is strange that they can succeed.

"So, what are we going to do?" Jia Zhu stammered, he was really taken aback by the news.

"Do nothing! Do you think you can hide such a big thing from the emperor? Bai Tang pushed the wine glass in front of Jia Zhu, "Royal affairs, you don't want to move forward, whether the emperor wins or the two princes win, it's not good to participate in it." ā€

Jia Zhu drank all the wine in the cup in one go, became a little bolder, and finally stopped trembling.

"What about the Four Princes? What to do? ā€

"Naturally, this king does nothing. If you do too much, you will be suspicious and even angry by your father! The fourth prince also poured himself full of wine and drank it in one gulp, "This time, this king will be a supporting role!" ā€
