Chapter 15: 'Scapegoats'
Bai Xiao wanted to teach that Dong Liang a lesson, so he was embarrassed to call Dong Liang? Don't insult the word 'pillars'.
But he was stopped by Bai Jian desperately, "Young master, this official of Dali Temple must not be provoked!" ”
This kind of Bai Jian is really rare, you must know that Bai Xiao is the master, Bai Jian is a servant, how can a servant take care of the master's affairs.
Bai Xiao hurriedly pulled him aside, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Although Bai Jian has been following Bai Xiao to cause trouble in the imperial capital, as Bai Xiao's personal servant, there are many things that he knows more than the original Bai Xiao, at least who can mess with and who can't, Bai Jian knows.
If Bai Jian didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be qualified to stay by Bai Xiao's side.
"The young master doesn't know, although the lord is in power, but he has not touched the Dali Temple, you can imagine how special the officials of the Dali Temple are."
Bai Bao did that, but it was just to abide by the last trace of his duty as a courtier, and there was nothing unusual about the courtiers not competing with the king.
"No matter how special it is, can it be openly corrupt and pervert the law?"
"Young master, people don't want it clearly! The officials of Dali Temple can cut the officials below the seventh grade first, this place is far away from the emperor, what should I do if something happens to the accident? ”
It turns out that it can kill people, no wonder there is no fear.
Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, Lin Feng couldn't bow his head and stammer, so he could only be silent.
But Dong Liang didn't know how to restrain himself, maybe he was used to being powerful along the way, and the first time he met Bai Xiao like this, Dong Liang would not kill anyone.
Since he didn't understand the rules, Dong Liang just wanted Bai Xiao to suffer a little.
It is inconvenient for the officials of Dali Temple to meddle in the place, but where is Dong Liang's official rank? It is also reasonable to let Bai Xiao do something for this petty official.
Dong Liang directly asked Bai Xiao to guard the prisoner car.
This prisoner car can't get into the house, which means that Bai Xiao has to freeze outside and do what officers and soldiers should do, Bai Xiao can only light a few more bonfires to keep warm.
It is precisely because of these bonfires that Bai Xiao quickly became one with those officers and soldiers, and the soldiers were also cold!
However, they are a little better than Bai Xiao, they can rest in shifts, but Bai Xiao can't, Bai Jian feels distressed when he sees it! In Bai Jian's memory, where did Bai Xiao suffer this crime!
Since there is no big quilt, let's put on a few more layers of quilts! It's the same.
Luo Jun is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he personally went to the mountains to hunt a rabbit and came back, which is very rare in winter, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone.
The rabbit has lost a little weight, but there is no problem with one bite, plus the big bones that Zheng Tu brought to boil some bone broth, it is delicious.
But as soon as the rabbit was roasted, Dong Liang appeared, "Bai Xian Ling is very good at enjoying it!" You are being asked to guard the prisoners, and you are derelict here. ”
"My lord, Xia Guan has never left a single step."
"But your mind has already flown away, and someone will take the rabbit for me." If you want to eat game, just say it, do you need to say all that high-sounding?
Dong Liang fell in love with rabbit meat, but he couldn't look down on bone broth, and he could make a living by drinking a bowl of one person, and he could add water if it wasn't enough.
Those officers and soldiers also didn't look down on Dong Liang's style, and Dong Liang began to spit as soon as he turned around.
You must know that these officers and soldiers are the border army in the northwest, and they have all killed people and seen blood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are elite soldiers, so there is not too much flattery, stealing, and trickery on them.
It's all rectum, and the preference is all up to the heart.
The leader is a centurion, who is bold, "Bai County Order, don't care, drink some wine to dissipate your anger." ”
Bai Xiao poured a big sip without thinking about it, and only after drinking it did he feel that something was wrong, it was like a fire from his throat to his stomach, but it was not easy to vomit, so he could only swallow it forcibly.
When he opened his mouth, he spewed out a white gas, "What a strong drink!" ”
Jiao Meng's wine is really not a good wine, but it is definitely strong enough, maybe this is the bar that the border army should drink!
"Bai Xian ordered you to not spit it out, you behaved very well, do you want to take another sip."
"Forget it, it's not enough to drink." If you drink a few more sips, your throat will be hoarse, and you won't have stomach bleeding if you drink a few more sips!
Bai Xiao's words caused laughter, these border soldiers are all honest people, and Bai Xiao really likes them a little.
After drinking a little wine, the night passed in a daze, but when I woke up, something happened and the prisoner in the prisoner car died.
Dong Liang was furious and asked, "What are you all doing?" Not a single prisoner can hold it, and the good people let you freeze to death. ”
Bai Xiao: "It is impossible for the prisoner to freeze to death, we are also outside, how can the prisoner be okay if we are fine?" ”
"That prisoner is dead, I know that it is you who made the ghost, and you are angry and hurt others." This Dong Liang obviously wants to use Bai Xiao as a scapegoat!
Other Bai Xiao can bear it, but this Bai Xiao can't bear it no matter what, "Blind your dog eyes, which eye of you saw me hurting people." ”
"There's nothing else going on, people will die when they get to your place, and the prisoner drank your soup last night, this official is right!"
Jiao Meng stood up and spoke for Bai Xiao, "My lord, we have all drunk the bone broth of Bai County's order. ”
"Don't quibble for him, Bai Xiao, you have the biggest suspicion, come and arrest him."
"Dare." With Bai Xiao's roar, Luo Jun had already picked up the gun.
Dong Liang: "Why do you still want to resist?" ”
Bai Xiao stopped Luo Jun, no matter how much he didn't do it!
Dong Liang asked Bai Xiao to be brought to the house, "Boy, it's strange to blame you for your bad life and ignorance of lifting." ”
"My lord, the jade pendant on Xiaguan's waist is not bad, you can taste it on your behalf."
"Isn't it too late to do this now?" However, Dong Liang still took Bai Xiao's jade pendant, this look shocked him into a cold sweat, the people walking in the imperial capital Luoyang, the others don't know, the Bai family's jade pendant still knows, plus Bai Xiao's surname is Bai, "You are the seventh son of the Bai family." ”
Although Bai Bao said not to use his banner, but now it can't be done if he doesn't fight, this is all forced by Dong Liang.
Bai Xiao: "I didn't expect you to know me?" ”
"Only the direct descendants of the Bai family are qualified to wear such jade pendants, and only the seventh son of the Bai family in the northwest is offended by not knowing Mount Tai."
Although Bai Bao did not touch Dali Temple, but as an official in Luoyang, who doesn't want to stammer, even if he doesn't stammer, he has to rely on people's snorts!
"That's not loose."
"Yes, yes, yes." Dong Liang personally untied Bai Xiao, that attitude is very humble! It turned out that he could be a man, but he was a little snobbish.
Bai Xiao: "You can solve the outside affairs by yourself, don't implicate me." ”
"Seventh Prince, I'm afraid it's difficult, the murder happened in your jurisdiction, and you can't get away with it, unless you reveal your identity, but obviously you don't want to do this."
Not everyone can go to Luoyang as an official, observing words and seeing the wind and making the rudder, that is the most basic, Dong Liang can of course see that Bai Xiao is unwilling to reveal his identity, otherwise he would have been exposed.
Since Bai Xiao has been involved, he can't let Dong Liang find a substitute for the dead at will, "I want you to do business." ”
"I understand below."
Luo Jun, Zheng Tu and the others were very anxious outside, and when Bai Xiao and Dong Liang walked out together, it was really incomprehensible!
Bai Xiao walked in front of Dong Liang, Dong Liang didn't say anything, and he took it for granted.
Who said that the floor lamp phoenix is not as good as a chicken, the phoenix is a phoenix, more than a chicken.
Dong Liang: "From today onwards, no one is allowed to leave until the real culprit is caught." ”
Bai Jian walked to Bai Xiao's side, he was still very smart, "Young Master, you have revealed your identity." ”
"What else can I do if I don't? This time it's not a small matter! ”
The matter was far more serious than Bai Xiao imagined, and within a few days, even the Taishou of Xihe County came, and it turned out that the person who died was Zhang Ye, the Taishou of Yanmen County, and was accused of colluding with the Hu people.
You must know that once you have a relationship with a foreign race, it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans
Taishou Liuzhuang of Xihe County is a mediocre person, this kind of person has a good side and a bad side, he will not harm others, but once he encounters something big, it is difficult to make a decision and be indecisive.
Afraid of offending this, afraid of offending that, it's better not to come if he comes?
Bai Xiao is the local county magistrate and the person who keeps watch at night, and he has also been protected by Dong Liang, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and asked Bai Xiao to investigate.
These high-ranking officials, nothing else, shirk responsibility to the point of being a matter of ease!
Pushing back and forth fell on Bai Xiao's head, fortunately, Bai Xiao never counted on them, so naturally he couldn't talk about disappointment.
Bai Xiao directly found Liuzhuang, how to say that he is also his own Shangguan, who is not looking for him if he has something!
"Lord Taishou, the lower officials need a job." Zhang Ye died for no reason, there was no physical evidence, and in such a situation, he could only start from the corpse, and Wu Yezi's two knives would not work.
Liu Zhuang is also a county guard, and it is easy for him to find a job, "Bai Xiao, this is a great task entrusted to you, don't let me down!" I will arrive in two days. ”
"Master Xie's cultivation."
Zhang Ye is a felony in the imperial court, and there are special people around him, even Bai Xiao, who is the county commander, will not be allowed to approach, so there are not many people who can contact Zhang Ye that night, just a few.
Bai Xiao is interrogated one by one, even if he can't ask anything, do you have to make a show? It's better than doing nothing!
Bai Xiao saw Jiao Meng among these people, "Brother Jiao, I didn't expect you to be there." ”
"In the middle of the night, I check on the prisoners, which is what I should do."
"When you look, is Zhang Ye still alive?"
"If you live well, and still beg me for wine? I really shouldn't have given it to him at the time. ”
After drinking Jiao Meng's wine, then Jiao Meng's suspicion is even greater, no wonder he regrets it, but Jiao Meng dared to speak out and did not hide it, which is already a manifestation of self-purification.
In other words, Zhang Ye died after the child, and there are not many people who don't sleep after the child, and even fewer people can have the leisure to contact Zhang Ye.
