After the luxurious carriage entered the city, it was very eye-catching, and I saw that the carriage passed through the most lively and prosperous streets of Shuoyang City, and slowly went to the remote houses in the east of the city, and stopped in front of a rather simple house.

"Big girl, it's here." The guard, who had come to see the dumb lady with Lu Ping before, said to Bai Qing in the carriage.

Hearing this, Chun Tao helped Bai Qingyan open the carriage curtain and helped Bai Qingyan get out of the carriage......

Shuoyang is not as good as Dadu, the place where the civilians live is slightly dilapidated, the small two black lacquer main doors have fallen off the paint, and the threshold has long been sunken in the middle, revealing the gray and dusty wood color, there is a persimmon tree planted in the courtyard, and the branches stick out of the courtyard wall, but fortunately, the pick-up is still clean.

Bai Qingyan stood at the door with Chun Tao, watching the guards come forward and knock on the door.

A short time later, a woman in her thirties came and opened the door with a child in her arms.

Seeing such a big battle outside the door, the woman was a little uneasy, and hurriedly said, "Your honor...... Who to look for? ”

The guard bowed to the woman and said, "This sister-in-law, I am the guard of the Zhenguo County Lord's Mansion, this is the county lord of my family, and the county lord of my family is here to see the dumb girl, is the mother-in-law who took care of the dumb lady here?" ”

When the woman heard that it was a county lord, or she came to see the dumb girl, she suddenly looked panicked, and put down the child in her arms and didn't know whether to kneel or bless.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, is the dumb lady there?" Bai Qingyan asked.

The woman lowered her head, seemed to be very frightened, took the hand of the two-year-old ignorant child next to her, and said uncomfortably: "That...... The dumb lady was picked up by a relative. ”

Bai Qingyan's brows tightened, and her indifferent and deep eyes stared at her head and she didn't dare to raise the woman: "What relatives picked her up?" I remember...... Someone in the Bai clan gave silver to take care of the dumb girl. ”

The woman was obviously panicked, and Bai Qingyan added lukewarmly: "The dumb mother's mother drowned, it is a matter of the Bai clan, do you need me to ask Zhou County Ling to ask you for someone in person?" ”

The woman was so excited that she knelt down with a plop, but when she opened her mouth, she could not tell where the dumb girl had gone.

"Say, where is the dumb lady?" Bai Qingyan's voice was as calm as water, but it was gratuitous and made people feel full of murderous intent.

"The county lord forgives the sin, after my mother-in-law took in the dumb girl, my man was worried that the people of the Bai clan would come to us to settle accounts, so he sent the dumb girl back to her own house that night, but we didn't greed for silver, the silver given by the Bai family, and the silver given by the big brother of the guard, we didn't keep anything, and let the dumb girl take it back to her house!"

The woman was frightened by Bai Qingyan, and explained everything cleanly: "Later, my mother-in-law was angry and beat my man with a cane, and asked my man to go next door to pick up the dumb girl, but my man didn't find the dumb girl next door, and I waited at the door for a day and a night without seeing the dumb girl come back...... I couldn't find it, and my mother-in-law was sick because of this, and she was still lying in bed! ”

The woman's voice was full of tears, and her voice spoke quickly and quickly, not like a lie.

Although Bai Qingyan is angry, he only seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, which is human nature.

Without saying a word, she came to the door of the dumb girl's house, saw that the door was locked, and asked people to climb over the wall to check it.

After the guard came back from a check, the door of the house was still open, the pot on the stove still had uneaten steamed buns, and the chickens were still there, and it seemed that he didn't want to go far.

But the woman said that she had waited for a day and a night and had not seen the dumb lady come back.

Bai Qingyan's fists clenched.

The dumb girl's child has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is an orphan girl without her mother's protection, and she can't speak...... If you encounter someone with bad intentions, you don't even have room to call for help, and if you are found to have offended the Bai clan, others don't know what bad idea to fight when they see it.

It is said that human nature is good, but she feels that people's hearts are sinister and the world is difficult, especially for a helpless orphan girl.

The dumb lady has been missing for two days, and no one dares to guarantee that something will happen in the middle.

She clenched her fists and thought for a moment, then turned around, looked at the Bai family's guards with black eyes, and commanded quickly and steadily: "Leave one person waiting at the door of the dumb girl's house, if the dumb lady comes back, come and report immediately!" Tell Quan Yu that I will use two teams of guards from the Prince's Mansion, divided into teams of five people, to beat gongs and drums and make a big show of the entire capital to find the dumb girl. ”

Her voice paused, and she spoke faster: "Focus on going to the place of fireworks and willow lane, and preach loudly...... Bai Qingyan, the county lord of Zhenguo, wants to find a dumb girl, no matter who can send the dumb girl to the Bai family ancestral hall safely before the time today, Bai Qingyan will give a thousand taels of silver thanks! If you don't see the dumb girl before sunset, and I find out that the dumb girl is secretly detained, it is my enemy, and it will be a disaster for the relatives. ”

The dumb girl looks delicate and beautiful, if the mute girl is bullied and there is no one to protect her, she will be forcibly taken away...... A large part of them may be sent to the land of Fireworks Willow Lane, hoping that she, the lord of the town and county, will be powerful enough to deter them from returning the dumb girl.

"Yes!"

Bai Qingyan got into the carriage, closed his eyes, and couldn't suppress the anger boiling over the clan in his heart, a good Bai clan made the current patriarch look like this, where is there still the slightest appearance of the Bai family!

If you don't change your mistakes, you don't say anything, in order to provoke the government...... He casually threw young children and young girls into the river and harmed people's lives! It's just not as good as an animal! The ancestors of the Bai family, the bones of the Bai family, have long been unaware of where they have been thrown!

Now Bai Qingyan finally understands why his grandfather does not allow the children and concubines of the Bai family to contact their biological mothers, and can only be raised by their mothers.

The biological mother is a concubine, and the means of vision are all inferior tricks to compete for favor in the back house, and even the temperament will be crooked by the biological mother who is good at competing for favor, and develop a vicious style, and subtly these things that will be learned from a young age will affect his life, affect future generations, and give birth to offspring...... One generation is not as good as the next.

Even if it is recorded in the name of his mother-in-law, he can't change his style.

The patriarch of the Bai clan must be replaced, and the Bai clan must also be cleaned.

"Big girl......" Chun Tao knew that Bai Qingyan was worried about the girl called the dumb girl, and comforted in a low voice, "The dumb girl will definitely be fine, don't worry too much, girl." ”

"Back to the ancestral home!" Bai Qingyan said with a deep look in his eyes.

Chun Tao said to the groom who was driving: "Go back to the ancestral house." ”

The news that Bai Qingyan was about to return to the ancestral house came back to the ancestral house, and Gu Gu and the servants of the Bai family were waiting at the door of the ancestral house early.

The last time Gu was escorted back to Shuoyang with Lu Ping's first batch of objects, he followed back to the ancestral house first.

In the past, when the king of the town, Bai Weiting, was still there, he returned to Shuoyang in advance every year, and he was in charge of the silver taels given to the clan, and the deterrent effect on the subordinates of the Shuoyang residence must be greater than others.

Since ancient times, he has not been idle in Shuoyang, and his methods are ruthless and simple, he will stay in Shuoyang to take care of the residence, sign a deed of ownership, break his leg, and sell the whole family.
