Chapter 72: The Troubled Heir (Part 2)
In the face of more and more refugees outside the city, His Royal Highness Zhao Zhe ordered a "ban" during the day.
In the huge city of Lin'an, the streets are empty and uninhabited.
Mo Yun was wearing the armor of Wang Weisi's guard, and blended into the very end of a patrol team.
He kept adjusting the squad he was following, and gradually approached the area of the sugar house Baifu in the east of the city.
There are more than 20 Wang Weisi guards in this area, and Lin Rongpo, the deputy commander, is also among them, and they are searching for Wang Weisi's guards who disappeared last night from house to house.
The gate of the Bai Mansion was open, and Bai Xian was eating candy, quietly watching Wang Weisi's guards go in and out, without any nervousness.
Lin Rong stood in front of the stone steps of Baifu with his armor in full force, listening to the various reports of his subordinates searching Baifu:
"Although Mo Yun fled, the few people who came with him, Chao Gong, Wen Feng, and two children, are all in your White Mansion. According to Song Guolian's law, Wang Weisi has the right to take these people away and conduct a detailed investigation. β
Bai Xian licked the candy and said, "When is this law of continuous sitting?" When did you, Wang Weisi, have the authority to arrest people? This is not the business of the Metropolitan Division. Is this going to break the rules? β
"His Royal Highness the Prison State has promoted Wang Weisi to be in charge of guarding the whole city yesterday, you dare to disobey the order?" Lin Rongpo looked at Bai Xianxuan coldly.
Bai Xianxuan patted his chest and said repeatedly: "Oh, I'm so scared." Zhao Zhe is so powerful, he doesn't even want to be a friend. It's hard to be a prisoner, right? β
Lin Rongpo frowned and reminded: "His Royal Highness is the only heir of the King of Song, and now he has full authority to act in charge of the political affairs of the Song State, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority, this is the rule. β
Bai Xianxuan clucked and bit the candy in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said:
"That's good. Since you want to talk about the rules, then I will also tell you about the rules. According to the laws formulated by the Song State twenty-four years ago, only the laws signed by the Song king and the prime minister were valid, and the nobles had to obey them. Now you can take out this decree of the signing of the decree and the seal of the king of Song, and show it to me. β
Bai Xianxuan stretched out his fat hand, and his middle finger was slightly bent inward a few times.
Lin Rong snorted coldly and did not say anything.
At this time, a guard came out of the White Mansion and reported: "Your Excellency, in the back garden of the White Mansion, blood stains were found, and now they have been excavated. β
Lin Rongpo nodded, and ordered to be brought out immediately after the excavation.
Bai Xian's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "If there is no law, shut up." Zhao Zhe is only a prisoner now, and has not yet become the king of Song. It's so impatient to control the whole city, so many refugees outside don't think about the loss of the border, but here they are thinking about my old friend. It's also thanks to him that he has this kind of mind. β
Lin Rongpo was indifferent, waiting intently for the progress of the guards inside.
It didn't take long for the guards to come out with a few bones, and Lin Rongpo immediately sent someone to investigate, and the results of the inquest were human bones.
Lin Rongpo's tense cold face softened, and he looked at Bai Order, but seeing that Bai Orderly had no intention of panicking, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. However, he still stepped directly into the White Mansion, intending to go straight to the back garden.
At this time, Bai Xian said in the back: "The first rule of 'forbidden' is announced in the day, and no one is allowed to step out of the house. Lin Rongpo, if you step into the door of my White Mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out before this ban is lifted. Of course, if you say that this ban is not effective against your Wang Weisi, then I have to ask, do you have King Song in your heart, but you have His Royal Highness the Prison State? Defying the order of the superior and forcibly breaking into the Bai family of the merchant lord, the Bai family of the noble family, and the Bai family of the Xuanshi, do you know what kind of crime this is! β
The words fell on the last sentence, which was already a sharp reprimand.
Lin Rongpo's footsteps paused for a moment, did not look back, and continued to walk towards the back garden: "As long as it is confirmed that your Baifu is dead, the guards of my Wang Weisi, the door of your Baifu can enter if I want, and I can exit if I want." Bai Xianxian, you think about it first, who will carry this pot. Leave one to guard the gate, and the others with me. β
"Whoa!" The other guards outside the White Mansion followed.
Bai Xianxuan watched Lin Rongpo's figure disappear into the corridor, yawned, thought for a while, and said to the guards of Wang Weisi who were still guarding outside the door: "Be careful behind you." β
The guard paused, "What?" Then he fainted.
"Is it really arrogant to kill people in Baifu? I didn't see you being so ruthless as a little fat man. Mo Yun had been hiding nearby for a long time, and as soon as he saw that there was only one guard left here, he immediately flashed out.
"What is it to kill a guard, this is the privilege of the nobility." Bai Xian kicked over the guard, and several servants immediately dragged the guard away.
"Did King Song really die in the sea?" Bai Xian and Mo Yun walked leisurely in the Bai Mansion.
"Xu Liming said it himself in prison, and Zhao Zhe was also there at the time." Mo Yun said.
"It's so embarrassing. I like King Song very much, at least the Bai family made a fortune, from a small lord who was ruined in a city, to a big tycoon in the Song Kingdom. I think I'll miss him in the future. Bai Xian's expression and demeanor did not look like a chubby young man who looked happy, but like a person who was in a high position and had already heard about the world's major events and planned for it.
"You have changed a lot, and I feel that the 'Song Detention Discussion' knows you as a ...... Dream. Mo Yun thought for a while and said.
"Cut. Who doesn't want to be naΓ―ve all the time. But the troubled times are coming, and there is no such thought. Bai Xian shook his head.
"Do you support Hong Xuchou? Don't you hate him? Zhao Zhe is your friend. Mo Yun said in surprise.
Bai Xianxuan glanced at Mo Yun on his side, and sighed, this tone sounded old-fashioned, and pretended to be old:
"But the family is willing. Zhao Zhe, who is not friends with us, the moment he appeared in Lin'an City ten years ago, he was actually destined to be in chaos today. Bai Xianxuan didn't explain anything, and led Mo Yun to the door of the wing, "Xiaoqian, they were transferred here by me, don't worry, here Lin Rongpo and they have searched it." β
In the wing, Chao Gong and others were drinking tea and tea, very leisurely.
Mo Yun's appearance, the people were very happy.
Mo Yun directly raised his doubts to Chao Gong: "Zhao Zhe successfully ascended the throne, who is willing to move them?" Why doesn't Bai Xianyi do this, there will be no tomorrow? The White Mansion is finished. β
Before Chao Gong could speak, Xiao Qian's voice interjected:
"It's very simple, a prince and a courtier. Hong Xuchou has been in power for more than 20 years, and he has supported him, but what he got is still those of the Song King, and he is safe. Zhao Zhe, very young, right? Young people are easy to be impulsive, and the foundation of the Song State depends on the support of the two empires. Zhao Zhe is highly variable. β
Chao Gong and Wen Feng looked at Xiao Qian in a daze, they never expected that this little girl who stayed at home would have such insight.
Mo Yun slapped his forehead: "This still doesn't make sense." β
Xiao Qian hummed softly: "I have chatted with Bai Xian in the past two days, and their Bai family has a lot of personnel up and down the Song Kingdom. I've calculated that this trend started twenty-four years ago. Did Hong Xuchou enter the Song Kingdom twenty-four years ago? β
Mo Yun nodded.
"Although there is no strict inference that I will be scolded by the master for saying this, I am ninety percent sure that the Bai family and Hong Xuchou have long been in a relationship of both prosperity and loss. No matter what happens to King Song in the end, once the successor is a person who can't control it, it will trigger this reaction. Not surprisingly, Zhao Zhe himself also has a big problem, which is enough to make them difficult. β
Hearing this, Mo Yun took out the Zhao genealogy that Hong Xuchou gave him, turned to the last page, looked at it, nodded and said:
"Xiaoqian, you really guessed right. This Zhao family genealogy is written, Zhao Xu eunuch - no heir. Zhao Zhe, adopted grandson, messy blood. β
In other words, Zhao Zhe is not the successor of the Song Kingdom, but a chaotic heir. No wonder he's in such a hurry. Not many people know about this, but it's the first time we've heard of it. With the character of a businessman like Song Guo, who is known all over the world when he has any news, this matter should have been turned upside down a long time ago. Chao Gong concluded.
Xiao Qian looked at Mo Yun with a smile, threw the sleeping Ning Wan to the side, and opened his arms:
"Mo Yun!"
β¦β¦
Lin Rongpo and his entourage appeared at the door of the White Mansion with embarrassed faces.
Bai Xian smiled lightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Tu Tuk, as a famous breed of dog and turtle, may be a little more enthusiastic." Lord Lin needs us to provide hot water in the bathtub for you to wash your body, right? β
Lin Rongpo raised his hand to wipe the halazi off his face, but when he saw that his hands were also slimy, he felt disgusted: "Say hello to Old Man Bai for me." In the future, can this doctor's human bone leather and shoes not be placed on the outside of a dog and turtle? β
"Don't you know, human bone leather and leather must be warmed for a long time, how can people have this time to nest in bed every day. I had to buy a dog turtle, and I was lazy and loved to sleep anyway, so I just boiled it up. Bai Xianxuan said with a smile, "Now that Lord Lin is still unclear, do you want to check if there are any potential fugitive......s in the Bai Mansion?"
Bai Xianxuan stopped talking and looked at the street outside the house.
Lin Rongpo followed his gaze and looked at Mo Yun, the detainee who disappeared inexplicably last night, was standing on the street with a smile, as if waiting for him, and raised his hand to say hello to him.
Lin Rongpo looked back at Bai Xuan's surprised expression, and then at Mo Yun's motionless demeanor.
Bai Xian came to the wing room with a puzzled face, and handed over a booklet to Chao Gong: "What Mo Yun left for you may be of some use to you." β
Bai Xianxuan flipped over, looked up and asked, "He finally escaped ......"
Xiao Qian leaned on the head of the bed, hugged Ning Wan and said, "He is an honest ranger. β
ββ¦β¦ Sounds ......," Bai Xian thought for a moment, "Nice young man, he should really stuff him with a few lollipops." β
"You're not that old." Little Eagle said.
Bai Xianxuan raised his head and said, "But I'm old." β
The voice of the servant came from outside the door: "Young master, the envoy of the Jin Empire, Liu Gongcheng, is outside the mansion, and the eldest master asks you to greet him together." β
