Chapter 39: Proof (2)
Although I am curious about who the distinguished guests in Lingxuan's house are? No matter who it is, if you can let Lingxuan meet in person, you think that this person's identity is either rich or expensive. This is a separate private room, Tang Yao sat silently in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and was about to drink it.
The little girl beside Lingxuan hurriedly walked in, saw Tang Yao drinking tea there calmly, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Tang Yao up and walked out. Half-pulled out of the room by her, Tang Yao wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Tinghe turned around and said indignantly to Tang Yao, "Tang Gongzi, you go and help Miss, today's distinguished guest doesn't know how to drop, so he has to pull Miss and refuse to leave." Mom was hindered by the identity of the distinguished guest, and it was difficult to stop it, so the slave maid got the instructions of the young lady, so she came to find your son. ”
Tang Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then may I ask who this distinguished guest is?" ”
"His Royal Highness Li Yao, the second prince today."
Second prince Li Yao? Tang Yao suddenly realized, and then patted Lan Xiang's head, "Then I'll go and have a look." "On weekdays, according to Lingxuan's temperament, it is easy to resolve such a thing, but today I let the little girl ask for help from herself, it seems that this Li Yao is a little difficult.
The second prince, Li Yao, although she rarely got along with him, but when she was drinking in the garden that day, she could probably see that this Li Yao was a lustful person. However, at the feet of this son of heaven, as a second generation of emperors, it is more or less necessary to be more or less restrained. In case one accidentally reaches the ears of Emperor Li Nannan, it will not be a trivial matter.
Tang Yao withdrew her sleeves, then casually rubbed the head of the little girl who listened to him and said, "I'll just go by myself." ”
Bai Lingxuan held her piano and stood there as if she wanted to leave. Li Yao blushed, and he didn't know if it was because he drank too much wine and was on his face, that is, he pulled the sleeves of other girls' houses and didn't let people go. Tang Yao saw such a scene when he arrived.
"This king just wants you to play the piano and sing music today, but you are obedient to your words on weekdays, why do you want to leave today?" Li Yao said there with a loud voice.
Bai Lingxuan's face turned white, pulled her sleeve, and said, "What did the prince say, it was obvious that the prince set the time for a stick of incense first, and now that half of the stick of incense has passed, Lingxuan naturally wants to go down to rest." ”
Hearing this, Li Yao heroically took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, pressed them on the table, and said, "This king will stay here today, don't let the master have a good time, this king will not let you have good fruits to eat in Baohua Building today." ”
Bai Lingxuan was embarrassed, a pale cyan figure, holding a paper fan, walked in slowly, and when she saw Li Yao and Bai Lingxuan, she was slightly surprised and leaned over from the window, "Yo, this is not the second prince, this is a coincidence." ”
It is estimated that Tang Yao suddenly appeared, and Li Yao was surprised, "Brother Ziyao, why are you here?" ”
Tang Yao leaned against the window and said with a smile, "It's not like I haven't had a drink that day, and when I was hungry, I wanted to come here to have a drink or two." Why did the second prince appear here, and he also came to Baohualou to ask for a glass of wine? ”
Li Yao was a little embarrassed to withdraw the hand that pulled the hem of Lingxuan's clothes, and then scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Lao Tzu wants to drink, do you need to come here?" ”
"That second prince, this is ......," Tang Yao glanced at Bai Lingxuan beside Li Yao meaningfully.
"What can I do when I come to Baohua Building, of course, I listen to music and find a girl."
Tang Yao suddenly realized, "I originally wanted to listen to this girl play a little song." ”
As he spoke, he walked to Li Yao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a rough voice, "Everyone is a man, I understand you, second prince." Then he looked at Bai Lingxuan with some displeasure, "The second prince wants to listen to a small song, why don't you go and prepare quickly, is it because you don't think your life is long enough to be here?" ”
Bai Lingxuan glanced at her, seemed to understand something, and bowed slightly to the two, "Yes, the slave family will go and prepare." ”
After Bai Lingxuan left, Tang Yao said kind words to Li Yao, "Let's go, second prince, let Ziyao accompany you for a few drinks." ”
In the private room, Li Yao drank the wine in the cup, Tang Yao immediately picked up the wine jug and poured it for him, and did not forget to praise on the side, "Second prince, your amount of wine is really amazing, so that Ziyao admires it." ”
Li Yao was praised like this, and his face was happy, "Of course, I don't see who this king is." ”
"That's it, the second prince is a talent, and there are so many of them, it's really amazing." After Tang Yao finished pouring the wine, he pushed the wine glass to Li Yao's mouth, and said half-coaxingly, "Come on, the second prince will have another glass." ”
Li Yao drank another cup, he opened his somewhat drunk eyes, glanced at Tang Yao and scolded with a smile, "Ziyao, it's not this king who said you, you said how your kid has thin skin and tender meat, and he doesn't have any man's masculinity, no wonder the seventh brother has been sticking to you, it seems that there is a reason for it." ”
"Yes, yes, the second prince is right."
"This king sees that you are afraid that you lack a woman, so I will change the king of Japan to my father, and choose a beauty for you, so as to cut off your feminine feeling."
Thank you for your kindness, but thank you no.
"What the second prince said is that for the sake of the second prince's words, the prince should have a drink."
Tang Yao continued to pour wine.
"Hiccup, you've been pouring wine for this king, but this king hasn't seen you drink."
"The second prince has a bad memory, and most of this half pot of floating drunkenness was drunk by Tang." Tang Yao shook the wine jug that was almost empty, and flickered.
"Is that so?"
"Yes." Tang Yao continued to flicker. A stupid prince whose consciousness has been confused can see something! Hearing Tang Yao's praise so hard, he was about to go to the sky, which shows that the second prince Li Yao is not only lustful, but also can't bear to praise. Hey, this kind of temperament, born in the emperor's family, can be regarded as a kind of misfortune.
It is estimated that he was provoked by someone with a heart, and he couldn't be stable. After three or four rounds of drinking, Li Yao completely lay on the table unconscious. Tang Yao calmly took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said to the servants waiting outside the door, "Your prince is not strong enough to drink, so he won't be carried back to the mansion." ”
"Go back to Lord Tang, the slave will go."
Tang Yao flickered Li Yao and drunk it, and when she heard it in Bai Lingxuan's ears, it really made this girl worry about her. From the perspective of friends, they are afraid that her identity will be exposed, and they are worried about her safety. However, when she saw Tang Yao appear in the house safe and sound, Bai Lingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she breathed a sigh of relief, she was still very worried, "Ah Yao, you still have to be cautious in the future, now it's not as good as before, once this identity is recognized, it will be a crime of bullying, I'm worried about ......"
Tang Yao waved his hand and said with an indifferent expression, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to be easily recognized." ”
"As much as I hope so, I can't help but worry about you."
Tang Yao patted her hand and comforted, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." It's you.... It's not a problem to stay in this Baohua Building. Wait for me a while, and I will redeem you, and you and Tinghe will move into my house, so that I can rest assured of your safety. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Yao suddenly fell silent, she had not forgotten the purpose of this trip. She deliberately suppressed her voice and said, "I came to Baohua Building to look for you today, but there is actually a matter. ”
"Just say if I can help." Bai Lingxuan replied.
Tang Yao bowed slightly, and said without pausing, "Recently, I was ordered to investigate the case of Huai'an disaster relief silver being swallowed..... It's about the case of your Bai family, so I hope you can tell me everything you know, and I will do everything to help you clear your grievances. ”
Bai Lingxuan's hand pouring tea shook obviously, her teeth were red lips, and there was a sense of sadness and helplessness in the depths of her always gentle eyes, "Hmm." It took her half a moment before she spoke softly.
Although Tang Yao has never had that kind of experience, if she stands in Bai Lingxuan's position, a good Bai Mansion, because she has suffered injustice, and forced her family to fall into the middle of the road and her family is ruined, even if she doesn't have a long time, she can't forget it.
"Three years ago, the floods in Huai'an caused people to be displaced. My father was ordered by the emperor to personally take 100,000 yuan of relief official silver to Huai'an for disaster relief, 100,000 taels of relief official silver is not a small number, where did Wang Shen get the news, I don't know this, I only know that he used the reason for his father to take over the wind, and secretly withheld the disaster relief silver taels. ”
Later, when his father found out, he begged his father to spare his life and took the initiative to hand over the silver taels that were deducted. His father relented and forgave him. Who knew that this person never let go of the ghost mind of making a move on the disaster relief silver, and always induced his father to fill his pockets. Although my father was not a big official, he had always been impartial and refused Wang Shen on the spot. ”
Wang Shen was afraid that his father would leak the matter, so he bought off Liu San next to his father and stole more than 20,000 taels of disaster relief silver overnight. More than 20,000 taels of disaster relief silver disappeared, and his father was furious and immediately returned to Beijing to sue him. It's only hated that the emperor doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and he blames the Baifu family for this crime....."
Bai Lingxuan's tone was unconcealable anger and resentment, "My father was secretly poisoned by Liu San, and his return to Beijing was delayed due to illness, but Wang Shen sued again on the grounds that his father had escaped. When my father returned to the capital, he was already angry..... Less... Three days... I went to ......."
"Baifu was connected, I should have been a dead person, and it was my mother who did everything she could to replace me from the beheading. The reason why I've been staying in the dangerous capital is so that one day... can be ashamed of my father and the innocent lives of the Baifu family......"
Full of trembling, it is a kind of fear that I don't want to think about in my heart. Tang Yao was silent, although this kind of thing was not as good as what was said on the secret document, it still made people angry. Afraid that Bai Lingxuan would be in a bad mood, she thought twice before slowly asking, "Have you seen Wang Shen of Shanyang County?" ”
Bai Lingxuan shook her head slightly, "Although I haven't seen it, I have heard my father mention this person." ”
"Oh? What your father said. ”
"My father once said that this Wang Shenben was a down-and-out scholar in Shanyang County, who was insidious and cunning, and then he got the help of a mysterious person for some reason, so he sat on the seat of the magistrate of Shanyang County."
Tang Yao was puzzled, "Who is that mysterious person?" ”
"I don't know very well, but the power of the person behind Wang Shen is not low."
