Qianzong looked at the following scene and felt sorry in his heart, pity the parents of the world, Mrs. Bai wants to take all the fault on herself, and leave a way for Bai Erye to live, but anyone can think that she is a woman in the house, and what she can do is very limited, how can she do such a big thing alone.

Bai Hou Ye said angrily: "Good future, now this is the good future you want, you hurt the second child, not to mention, even your daughter and son-in-law are involved, do you know how big a crime they are?" ”

Old Madam Bai exclaimed: "Daughter and son-in-law? What's the matter with them? ”

Bai Hou Ye was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Bai Ziyu said on the side: "This incident happened because I found that there was a problem with the grain and grass from Qizhou, so I tracked it all the way." ”

Old Madam Bai looked at Second Master Bai, there was a trace of resentment and disbelief in her eyes, she opened her mouth, but she was already in tears, "Why, why, she is your sister, my own sister!" ”

Second Master Bai lowered his head, raised his head as if he had made up his mind for a while, and said, "Did I really think that it would affect my sister, I just helped my uncle send her a letter once, and all of this was arranged by my uncle." ”

Old Madam Bai was stunned, and suddenly lay on the ground and cried bitterly, she can help this now, but she can't help that, a pair of children are difficult to preserve, and it also involves her mother's brother. The son said that all this was arranged by his uncle, but she knew that after her son was discouraged, he hated the Bai family in his heart, especially the ghost king and Bai Ziyu, and how eager he was for high-ranking officials. But she was selfish and didn't want to say everything, this was her son, and she regarded it as her son.

Bai Hou Ye looked at the old lady Bai who was crying bitterly, and he was also speechless with tears, after all, he was the person who knew the old lady Bai and the second master Bai best, how could he not guess what the real situation would be, but could he say anything, the old lady Bai would still struggle between her mother's family and her own children, but he didn't have to have so many worries. The Bai family has always looked forward to Zhou as the leader, and the Zhou family must have participated in this incident, so let the Zhou family take down the crime of this mastermind. He really didn't know about it in advance, and he was almost killed by poisoning, and it can also be said that he was the victim, maybe the saint will look at Ziyu's face and fall lightly to the Bai family, and the Bai family may be preserved.

Bai Ziyu looked at Qianzong with his eyes, and Qianzong said angrily: "It turns out that all this is the mastermind of the Zhou scholars, although there has always been discord between the ghost king and him, but he should not act like this, he really failed my love for him, come and send troops to raid the Zhou mansion, and put the Zhou family and others in the heavenly prison for trial." "Let's let things develop in this direction, someone must bear such a big crime, either the Bai family or the Zhou family, since the Bai family has pushed the sin on the Zhou family, he will treat everything as if everything is really so good, at least the Zhou family is not innocent.

Bai Ziyu lowered his head and stopped talking, to be honest, he admitted that he had done this very badly, obviously there were many doubts about the matter, and he knew who the mastermind was, but for the sake of Ziren, for his own little selfishness, he had to pretend that he didn't know everything.

Not long after, the people who raided the Zhou Mansion came back, in addition to reporting how many were caught and how many things were copied, they also reported that a box of letters was found, all of which were written by Scholar Chiyan Zhong, which had the relevant content of asking Scholar Zhou to urge Mo Yun to agree, and promised to give Scholar Zhou a number of relevant benefits after the matter was completed, although no evidence related to the military rations was found, but at least the evidence of Scholar Zhou's collusion with Chiyan was solid.

After reading a few letters, Qianzong and Bai Ziyu both had a score in their hearts, and it was not early, so the two went back to rest.

On the morning of the next day, Qianzong announced the results of last night's imperial trial, and the Marquis of Yasukuni was also helped up, crying bitterly about the misfortune of the Bai family, and then, the letter of the scholar Chiyan Zhong was also circulated, and public opinion began to one-sidedly denounce the Zhou family for being disloyal and bringing disaster to the country and the people, and some even directly asked the Zhou family to be beheaded and exterminate the nine clans, but they did not say anything more to the Bai family.

Bai Ziyu knelt down and asked Qianzong for guilt, even if the Bai family was used, but the crime of the second master Bai was a fact, and the Bai family could not escape the involvement.

As for Bai Ziyu's words, there were different voices in the court, as soon as the Bai family's crime was said, although it was not as good as the nine clans, but treason is treason, and the law should be consistent, even if the Bai family is dissatisfied with the beheading, it should be demoted to a civilian and never hired. One said that the Bai family has been loyal and good for several generations, Bai Hou Ye Rongma has defended the territory for the country all his life, and the brothers Bai Ziyu and Bai Ziren are all pillars of the country, and they should be extrajudicial and lenient to the Bai family.

No one cares about the Zhou family anymore, because the Zhou family's guilt has been decided, but they all have different thoughts about the Bai family. Some adhere to fair legal principles, some take into account the merits and favors of the Bai brothers, and some are a little cautious, if Bai Ziyu can be pulled down, then will there be a new situation in the court? The ministers argued fiercely, but Bai Ziyu and Qianzong kept their mouths shut and just listened quietly.

The ministers argued too fiercely, and after a while, they realized that the atmosphere was not right, so they closed their mouths one after another, looking at Bai Ziyu and Qianzong, I don't know what these two people mean by such expressions.

Qianzong sneered: "What are you all thinking, I know in my heart that this case was tried by me personally, except for the participation of Old Madam Bai and her children in the Bai family, there is no problem with the others, and Zi Yuzhen has already said it first, he is my son-in-law, according to your ideas, do you still want to say that the eldest princess of the daughter-in-law of the Bai family around you is also guilty, do you also want to cure my crimes!" ”

Qianzong's words were a bit heavy, and the ministers were so frightened that they knelt down and said in unison: "The ministers don't dare." ”

There was a smart reaction quickly, and he immediately said: "The saint is reasonable, Bai Ziyu is the royal son-in-law, naturally he is a royal person, and he has nothing to do with this case." ”

Many ministers immediately followed: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Bai Ziyu sneered and said to Qianzong: "Your Majesty, some ministers just said that the law of the country should be treated fairly, and if you are guilty, you will be punished. If the identity of the minister puts the minister out of the matter, I am afraid that the people will not accept it. ”

Qianzong said angrily: "Okay, according to what you said, you should be punished, and the eldest princess should also be dealt with, why don't you study it and send someone to capture her from the front line!" ”

The ministers below began to think about it in their hearts, Qianzong obviously wanted to protect Bai Xiangye, of course, this is also for the sake of the eldest princess, but he was right, if Bai Ziyu is punished, the eldest princess who is a wife will not be able to get rid of it, but, who has the courage to catch the princess, even if you have the courage, you have to consider the current situation, catch the princess back, who will be responsible for the things on the battlefield, if you drill the tip of the horns at this time, and eventually lead to the defeat of the war, then you will become a sinner through the ages. But Bai Xiangye is right, if he is only extrajudicial to him, this matter is too obvious to be biased, and it is really unreasonable.

Yi Taifu thought about it and stepped forward and said: "In fact, who is involved in this case, how things are not clear, it is too early to say how to deal with it, and now that the three countries are at war, the people's hearts are unstable, if this shocking case breaks out at this time, I am afraid that it will shake the country's foundation, needless to say, the traitor must not be tolerated, but the implication should not be too wide, and I hope that the emperor will be merciful." ”

Qianzong listened and thought for a while, and nodded, "Master Yi is also reasonable, what else do you have to think about it?" ”

All the ministers said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal." "Your Majesty, you have said that Master Yi has a point, so what are we fighting for, why don't we go down the ladder.

Qianzong thought for a while and said: "I have always had no doubt about Ziyu, since you know this matter best, this case will be handed over to you for trial, it must be fair and just, and in accordance with the law, it is inevitable that the long night dreams will make the people's hearts turbulent, and the sooner there is a result, the better." ”

Bai Ziyu bowed down to receive the order, so everyone understood that the emperor had made a plan to protect Bai Xiangye from the beginning, no matter what happened to the Bai family, Bai Xiangye's position in the emperor's heart was still standing.

Bai Ziyu talked to Scholar Zhou, and Scholar Zhou admitted that he had dealings with Scholar Chiyan Zhong, but he was only anti-war and peaceful, which was not treason, as for the rest, he didn't do anything, and as for the rest of the Zhou family, they didn't know about him. Bai Ziyu asked him, but he knew what Second Master Bai had done, but Scholar Zhou was silent.

Bai Ziyu negotiated a deal with Scholar Zhou, but Scholar Zhou told him what he knew, and he tried his best to protect the lives of innocent people from the descendants of the Zhou family. Scholar Zhou knew that he couldn't escape, but he simply told Bai Zi about what he knew.

A few days later, Bai Ziyu handed in a list, Scholar Zhou and Mrs. Bai were the masterminds of the matter, and they should be beheaded according to the law, and Bai Erye's family, Li Changwang's family, the capital of Qizhou, and other related people were accomplices, and they were assigned to serve in the bitter cold land. The rest of the Bai family and the rest of the Zhou family were unaware of it, and asked Qianzongen to pardon their crimes.

Qianzong agreed, and with a stroke of his pen, this shocking case of treason came to an end. Although the Zhou family has descendants left, but there is no official in the court, and ashamed to stay in Beijing, walking, scattering, the Zhou family perished, the Bai family is also a lot of damage, the Marquis of Yasukuni asked for the removal of all positions, only retained the title of marquis handed down from the ancestors. But Bai Ziyu is still in the position of the prime minister, and he is still highly valued by the Qianzong, Bai Ziren is still serving in front of the battle and has made countless military achievements, and it is still unknown what will happen to the Bai family in the future.
