Bai Shizhong's Xiangguo Mansion is located in the outer city, but the outer city is too deserted, and the public security is not very good, Bai Shizhong's family moved to live in the inner city in the other house located in the East Street, although the other house does not occupy a large area, but the Bai family is not much at present, the eldest son, the second son and the third son all went south to Hangzhou with their families, and the daughter and son-in-law also left, Bai Shizhong's wife died of illness three years ago, only the young son's family remained in the capital, and the servant woman's family only had more than 20 people, and the other house covering an area of six acres was enough to live.

Bai Shizhong's youngest son is called Bai Jin, is Bai Shilang, his wife is Cai Jing's daughter, Bai Shizhong is Cai Jing's first lackey, this is the consensus of the world, when Bai Shizhong was an official to the Ministry of Servants, Cai Jing decided to upgrade the lackey to the same party, and he became an in-law, Bai Jin married Cai Jing's ninth daughter.

A few days ago, she went to the Baoyan Zhai store and found that the store was out of stock, she was afraid that her cosmetics would be out of stock, so she forcibly bought the last ten red treasure boxes in stock in one go, and the required money was five hundred taels of silver, she told her husband, and she didn't care about it, but Bai Jin was also very busy, and didn't take this matter to heart, and both of them forgot.

Yesterday, Amei came to the door to ask the Bai family for money, and happened to meet the people of the whole city gathering on the royal street to demonstrate, everyone ran to see the excitement, and the Bai family was left with an unaware porter, who had a bad attitude towards Amei, scolded her for blackmailing the Bai family, and drove her down the steps.

This was originally a trivial matter, as long as Amei came again, found the housekeeper, and the housekeeper saw the IOU and then went in to ask, the matter was settled, although the IOU was written by Cai's name in her husband's name, but the Bai family would not be in debt.

But this matter was known to Li Yanqing, he is the young proprietor of Baoyanzhai, and it is natural for Baoyanzhai to ask for debts, but the matter will not be as simple as asking for debts.

Li Yanqing needs to borrow this matter to rush his impression in the hearts of Zhao Huan and hundreds of civil and military officials, after all, 300,000 people gathered to denounce him, which made his reputation in the court a little not very good, ambitious, insidious, and heroic, this is the brand that most of the courtiers put on him after the gathering incident, and it is not a good thing to leave such a brand at the beginning of his career.

Early the next morning, Bai Shizhong went to the court early, Bai Jin also entered the palace as a guard, at this time, more than ten people came to the gate of Baifu on East Street, and they erected a huge sign on the street, and the sign was pasted with a line of words: 'Bai Shizhong relies on power to bully the weak, buys and sells, and does not repay debts', and the payment is 'Baoyan Zhai'.

This sign was erected, and it immediately caused a sensation on the entire East Street, and it actually made trouble in front of Xianggong's house, and soon hundreds of people came to watch the excitement, at this time, the Bai family was also alarmed, and the housekeeper ran out with a few family members to interfere.

"You are so bold that you dare to come to the gate of Xiangguo to make trouble, are you tired of living?"

A big man pushed the butler away, "What's the matter, get out!" ”

The housekeeper was pushed and almost fell, but a housekeeper hurriedly supported him and whispered: "Compound, it seems that Baoyan Zhai is here to ask for debts!" ”

The housekeeper also saw the payment under the sign, and then looked at more than a dozen burly and strong men, if they fought, they would definitely suffer, he hated and was angry in his heart, turned around and ran towards the house.

Cai was sitting in the room drawing her eyebrows, and her maid ran over in a panic and said, "Young lady, the housekeeper said that there was Bao Yanzhai outside to ask for debts, and it was very fierce, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Cai's was taken aback, Bao Yan Zhai? Didn't the husband give them the money?

She hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, only to see the housekeeper standing anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, Cai said: "Is there such a thing, I bought some fat powder a few days ago, and the money was not enough at that time, and then I asked Shiro to pay the silver, I don't know what went wrong?" Why don't you give them five hundred taels of silver first, send them away, and then ask Shiro what's going on? ”

The housekeeper was a little dumbfounded, it was really the young lady who owed money and didn't give it, and someone came to the door to ask for a debt, so he said for a while: "Okay! I'll ask again. ”

He turned around and walked outside, of course the housekeeper wouldn't be stupid enough to really give away five hundred taels of silver, wouldn't that be true that the Bai family owed money and didn't pay it back? The master's reputation is about to be lost.

The housekeeper thought about it for a while, and immediately said to a family member: "You quickly go to the Kaifeng Mansion to report the case, and say that someone has come to the Xiangguo Mansion to make trouble, and ask them to immediately send someone to protect the Bai Mansion." ”

He sent another member of the family to the palace to report the matter to the master.

The butler then slammed the door shut, ignoring the provocation outside the mansion.

At this time, seven or eight thousand people have gathered on the East Street, and the people of the capital have been particularly sensitive in the past two days, and they thought it was a big event at the slightest disturbance, so once there was a party state, the people who watched the excitement immediately came from all directions like a snowball, so that the East Street was crowded with people, and people talked about it, denouncing Bai Shizhong's son for relying on power and bullying the weak, disregarding people's lives, and doing tragic things that hurt nature and reason.

This is called three people into tigers, most people can't see the content on the brand, they can only rely on guessing to make up for it, and interpret Bai Shizhong's son as a bastard who bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil, and then ferments and spreads, when this matter spreads throughout the entire East Street, it has been completely unrecognizable, in fact, the truth is no longer important at this time, the important thing is that everyone's life has condiment.

"Damn it! The girl was only sixteen years old, and she killed them alive, and the poor parents came to beg for words, and beat people violently, the wicked are in charge, and the sky has no eyes! ”

"I saw this with my own eyes, Bai Shizhong's son took a fancy to other people's stores, and forcibly occupied them without giving money, and beat the shopkeepers to death, it's too miserable!"

.........

The poor Bai family doesn't know who they provoked, didn't they just forget to bring money when they bought something? In the end, it caused a commotion and made it notorious.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted: "The government has come to arrest people!" ”

"Officials protect each other, it's too dark!"

Nearly 10,000 people in the streets roared and shouted in anger.

Needless to say, this is the officials and officials of Kaifeng Mansion rushed here, and the status of the officials who came was not low, it was Yin Xu Bingzhe, the new governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, he personally recommended it in Bai Shizhong, and only took office in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the former Yin Nieshan of Kaifeng Mansion was dismissed by Zhao Huan under the anger because of the gathering of 300,000 people, and Xu Bingzhe, who was appointed as a bachelor of the Imperial Palace, was strongly recommended by Bai Shizhong and served as Yin of Kaifeng Mansion.

When Xu Bingzhe heard that there were thugs in the middle of the mansion in Bai Shizhong to make trouble, he was immediately furious and personally led dozens of officials to arrest the rioters.

But when he arrived at Dongdajie, he realized that something was wrong, tens of thousands of people gathered, listening to the roar of the people, and it was actually Xiang Guobai Shizhong, who denounced Zongzi for murder, which made Xu Bingzhe hate and fear, hated that the Bai family did not tell him the truth, and was afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of Nie Shan, and he would be dismissed because of the gathering incident.

"Let's let go, Kaifeng Mansion will handle the case, and it will definitely be dealt with impartially!"

The officials shouted while opening a road, and soon, Xu Bingzhe came to the gate of the White Mansion surrounded by dozens of officials.

At this time, Xu Bingzhe also saw the huge account sign, and he was a little confused, what was going on?

"Who are you? What to do here? Xu Bingzhe asked.

A big man stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "We are the clerks of Bao Yan Zhai, Bai Shizhong's son has not given money when he bought our rouge, we came to ask for it!" ”

"Ahh

Xu Bingzhe suddenly opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time, didn't he just come to ask for money? How did you become a ***/girl in the mouth of the people, and the son committed murder?

"Fu Yin, this is called three people into tigers!"

The master bookkeeper sighed in a low voice: "It's obviously just a trivial matter, but it turned out to be a false rumor, and in the end, it was spread by the good deeds." ”
