Chapter 529: Visit
With Ye Qing's ridicule, although Bai Chun's face was flushed for a while, but his nervous mood calmed down a lot for a while, and his eyes glanced at Ye Qing with a hint of intoxicating style.
Behind him, whether it was Jin Se or Liang Xing, he didn't understand the private joke in the boudoir made by the couple in front of him, and followed behind Ye Qing and Bai Chun with the same expression, waiting for the door to be opened.
A scholar opened the door and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ye Qing, and Jin Se behind Ye Qing, through the gap between Bai Chun and Ye Qing, looked at the scholar who was stunned at the door, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's you?" How could it be you? ”
Ye Qing and Bai Chun heard Jin Se's surprised voice, and couldn't help but look back at Jin Se, Ye Qing muttered, "You...... Do you know? ”
"Isn't he that person's scholar, who helped their husband fight with you on the street for the "Dream Creek Writings"." Jin Se pouted, looked at the scholar at the door with a dissatisfied expression and said, obviously still full of resentment towards this scholar in his heart.
Bai Chun and Ye Qing looked at each other, and then remembered this somewhat familiar scholar, wasn't it the scholar who followed Zhu Xi when he met Zhu Xi on the street that day.
"What, Mr. Zhu is also here?" Ye Qing looked at the scholar and said.
The scholar is obviously a little in awe of Ye Qing today, it seems that Zhu Xi has talked about Ye Qing in front of this scholar on weekdays.
The scholar swallowed the saliva in his mouth, looked at Ye Qing with some awe and nodded, and then hurriedly invited Ye Qing and his wife to go inside.
The small courtyard is not very big, even the ground under his feet is still a flat ground with loess tamping, and there are no bluestone slabs or anything like that, several small rooms in front of the courtyard are different, and in the hall opposite, with the footsteps of Ye Qing and the others sounding, I saw Bai Bingzhong, who was slightly frowning, standing side by side with Zhu Xi with a smile on his face, looking at Ye Qing and his group of four.
Ye Qing saw Bai Bingzhong for the first time in the real sense, his age was not very large, he was the same age as Zhu Xi, I don't know if it was because of his exile in Lingnan, or because of the quarrel with Bai Chun these days, or because of Fan Niande's death, Bai Bingzhong's hair and beard were a little gray, and at this time, there was still a trace of messiness, frowning slightly and looking at Ye Qing who was approaching with a smile.
Bai Chun followed Ye Qing's side, like a little daughter-in-law who had just returned to her parents' house after passing the door, after saluting Bai Bingzhong and Zhu Xi, she turned her head to look at Ye Qing, and after Ye Qing nodded, she took Jin Se and Liang Xing, who was holding a gift box, and took the lead to walk to another room.
Bai Bingzhong and Zhu Xi's eyes flashed from the gift box mentioned by Liang Xing, and then they looked at Ye Qing who saluted the two of them.
"I haven't seen Commander Ye for a long time, but when I see it today, I have a more calm atmosphere than when I met the old man at the Yujie bookstall." Zhu Xi looked Ye Qing up and down and said.
"Mr. Zhu has won the award, in front of Mr., the younger generation can't afford the praise of a generation of Confucians." Ye Qing replied with a smile.
Bai Bingzhong, who was silent on the side, frowned slightly, and after watching Zhu Xi and Ye Qing finish greeting, he said lightly: "Come in." ”
As Ye Qing walked into the hall, after the three of them sat down, Zhu Xi's scholar left very cleverly and no longer disturbed the conversation of the three.
Bai Chun took the tea, the smile on his face was a hint of apprehension and worry, and after pouring tea for the three of them, before he could turn around next to Ye Qing, he was sent to the back hall by Bai Bingzhong with a majestic voice.
Watching Bai Chun's back disappear, Ye Qing looked at Zhu Xi, who was sitting at the top with Bai Bingzhong, with a smile and asked, "I haven't seen Mr. in the past two years, but Mr. is becoming more and more elegant and graceful." ”
"Commander Ye has won the award. Recently, the old man came here, and he wanted to catch up with Brother Bai, but he didn't want to disturb the return of his niece and nephew, Brother Bai, then Zhu won't bother, and will come to visit Brother Bai another day. Zhu Xi had a smile on his simple and honest face, although he said that he would visit another day, but his butt didn't even move on the chair.
"This ...... Mr....... Bai Bingzhong was in front of Zhu Xi, obviously looking a little weak, listening to Zhu Xi's words, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and when he quarreled with Bai Chun, it was completely like two people.
At this time, Bai Bingzhong seemed to be more honest than Zhu Xi who was honest on the surface, and even a little helpless, completely a pedantic scholar with no opinions and no backbone.
Ye Qing looked at Bai Bingzhong's speechless appearance for a while, and said lightly: "Since Mr. is already here, you might as well talk to Uncle Bai." The younger generation is Uncle Bai's son-in-law, but he just came to visit Uncle Bai, not to mention that our Ye and Bai families don't have anything to avoid, Mr. Zhu doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Oh, then Commander Ye has only come here to visit Brother Bai recently?" Zhu Xi asked with a pun and a hint of wit.
"Yes, my son-in-law came to visit my father-in-law, I guess I don't need any reason in my Great Song, right? But as far as I know, Mr. Zhu didn't seem to know Uncle Bai before he came back from Lingnan, right? I don't know when Mr. Zhu became so good with Uncle Bai all of a sudden. Ye Qing smiled and asked as if he were chattering.
Naturally, when Brother Bai worshiped his friend Fan Niande, it happened that the old man also went to worship, so the old man met Brother Bai. What's more, when Brother Fan was alive, he often mentioned in front of the old man that Brother Bai was upright, selfless, and unbending, and Brother Bai often heard some things about the old man from Fan Niande in the past, so although the old man and Brother Bai had never met, they had been friends for a long time. Zhu Xi's honest face tightened at first, but he soon returned to saying to Ye Qing as usual, and when he said the end, he didn't forget to look at Bai Bingzhong, who was a little helpless next to him.
"In this way, the younger generation should really be happy for Uncle Bai, after returning from Lingnan, he can still know the old friend that God has made for a long time, so Uncle Bai will not be lonely in Lin'an in the future, and Bai Chun's heart can be somewhat comforted." Ye Qing had a smile on his face, and when his eyes were talking, he kept looking at Bai Bingzhong.
Unlike Zhu Xi, when Ye Qing spoke, Zhu Xi was always able to maintain a smile and calmness, and Bai Bingzhong couldn't help but look more uncomfortable on his face when he heard Ye Qing's sentence that he should really be happy for him, with a hint of embarrassment.
Naturally, none of these can escape Ye Qing's eyes, and the reason why Ye Qing spoke like this is to test how Han Cheng, a lobbyist, behaved yesterday, and whether it was really as Han Cheng said, Bai Bingzhong already had no opinion on him in his heart.
As the so-called talking and listening, listening to Ye Qing's words that he should really be happy for Uncle Bai, Bai Bingzhong instantly felt embarrassed, since he happened to meet Han Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the two talked a few words, and then involuntarily brought the topic to Ye Qing's murder of Fan Niande, Han Cheng's loud laughter made Bai Bingzhong very surprised.
So after Han Cheng's explanation and combing, Bai Bingzhong gradually began to discover that if it was really as Zhu Xi, King Xin, and Lu Zujian said, the evidence of Ye Qing's murder of Fan Niande was conclusive, then Ye Qing should be arrested by the Criminal Department or Dali Temple.
But now Ye Qing was not only not asked, but was still in the Lonely Mountain Garden at this time, discussing the affairs of the Romans with the Emperor Taishang, the Holy Lord and others.
A mastermind who murdered Confucianism, under the circumstances of this incident being full of turmoil in the city and known to the court, even if other officials were afraid of the power of the city commander of Emperor Ye Qing and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the current saint and the emperor should not shield Ye Qing like this.
But Ye Qing was still unscathed in the face of the wind and rain in the city and the attacks of the court officials, and just as Han Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, said yesterday, the court was intrigued and deceitful, even if you Bai Bingzhong was not because of the court struggle, he would be exiled to Lingnan with Ye Heng?
Because of Han Cheng's identity as the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, coupled with Han Chengxin's assurance, not all the officials in the court believed that Ye Qing was the mastermind of killing Fan Niande, so Bai Bingzhong got into the thinking of the tip of the horns, and gradually began to have a sense of self-discrimination.
Bai Bingzhong, who didn't sleep all night last night, has been thinking back and forth in his mind about the experience of knowing Zhu Xi, Lu Zujian, and even King Xin, and Lu Zujian is the secretary of Dali Temple, and Ye Qing is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is there no open and secret struggle and partisan dispute among the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty?
Bai Bingzhong is pedantic, stubborn, and likes to drill the horns, because of the words of Zhu Xi and Lu Zujian, and Ye Qing did imprison Fan Niande in the Imperial City Division, and he was imprisoned in the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason, which made Bai Bingzhong difficult to accept for a while that his friend for many years turned out to be a traitor to the enemy.
"I heard that Commander Ye has found someone to clear the relationship and clear the suspicion of murdering Fan Niande?" Just when Bai Bingzhong fell into his own thoughts, Zhu Xi finally couldn't hold his breath and began to find out about Ye Qing and Fan Niande.
"The body is not afraid of the shadow, and if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, at the beginning, Fan Niande and the Jin people made Liu Yunguli should cooperate with the outside world, and send intelligence ...... for the Jin people." Ye Qing looked at Zhu Xi and said.
"But as far as the old man knows, Commander Ye is now the gentleman of Wanyan Jing, the king of Jinyuan County in the Jin Kingdom, I don't know how Commander Ye will explain this?" Zhu Xi didn't give Ye Qing a chance to explain, and directly interrupted Ye Qing's words and asked again.
"I went to the Jin Kingdom, and I also heard that Mr. Zhu has many students in the Northland, so can the Imperial City Division think that this is Mr. Zhu's communication with foreign countries, should I arrest you immediately?" The corners of Ye Qing's mouth gradually turned up, and a sneer began to appear on his face.
"Commander Ye doesn't know that this is a ploy by the Jin people?" Zhu Xi was unmoved, and said with a sneer.
"Then why did Mr. Zhu believe that Ye Qing was the gentleman of the King of Jinyuan County of the Jin Kingdom? Isn't that a contradiction? Ye Qing's eyes became a little cold for a while, and he suddenly felt that he should really check on Zhu Xi's students from the Northland, whether he really had any dealings?
If not, how could Zhu Xi take it seriously if he said it casually, and he would argue that it was the Jin people who blamed him?
