Several children were very happy to see Bai Ziyu, it was rare that the old ghost king and the great elder had been living in the ghost king's mansion and took good care of the children, which made Bai Ziyu very grateful. And he just finished dinner in the mansion, and Qianzong came to a decree, asking Bai Ziyu to enter the palace immediately to reply. So, Bai Ziyu had to simply pack up and come to the imperial study.

Qianzong sighed when he saw Bai Ziyu, but he didn't ask about the Bai family first, but first learned about the battle situation on the front line, as well as Yun Yuhong's situation, and only then did he relax when he learned that Yun Yuhong was fine, and then Qianzong took out a letter and said to Bai Ziyu: "This is a letter brought by Hong'er, and the letter repeatedly said that you and Ziren are innocent, but as a descendant of the Bai family, you also have to do it." He also said that it is best not for you to interfere in the affairs of the Bai family, and if you have to press it down first, and deal with everything after she comes back, it is also feasible to do so, but the situation has changed somewhat, I want to hear your opinion. ”

Bai Ziyu was moved by the confidence in her hand after reading it, Yun Yuhong was dedicated to him, afraid that he would be embarrassed, afraid that he would be implicated, and pity her not only to take care of the war, but also to think about the court in Beijing, but also to think about him, how hard it would be. Fortunately, Qianzong loves Hong'er very much, trusts her very much and obeys her words, otherwise, just because the Bai family found out that Bai Qixian was idle, he should be imprisoned.

Restrained his mind, Bai Ziyu pondered, the matter started from the moldy military rations and poisonous grasses in the forage, and found that these problematic things were sent by Qizhou, and Li Changwang, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Yasukuni Mansion may be related, but there is no evidence yet, but today in the Marquis of Yasukuni Mansion, he found out that Bai Qixian, the owner of the Yaowang Valley, a person who fled to Chiyan and was related to Chiyan, so the Bai family could not get out of this matter no matter what. However, the scene in the old lady's courtyard today is strange, Bai Erye obviously wants to kill the old marquis, and Baifu seems to have been controlled, but this is a suspicious point, maybe you can start from here.

Bai Ziyu asked, "Does the emperor know how the Marquis of Yasukuni is doing now?" ”

Qianzong replied: "I heard that he was given a kind of chronic poison, and he is currently in the Tai Hospital, do you mean that he is the key to the whole thing?" ”

Bai Ziyu nodded and said: "The matter of the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion is unusual, if he appeals, everything may be very different, this matter should have been spread, tomorrow's morning court is afraid that it will be very lively, I am inconvenient to come forward to defend at that time, maybe the Marquis of Yasukuni can." ”

Qianzong nodded, and asked people to pass on the Marquis of Jingguo, and after a while, the Marquis of Jingguo was helped over by two little eunuchs, and at this time, a burly, very sturdy old man was already skinny, with a sallow face, and at first glance he was a person who had suffered a lot.

Marquis Jingyuan finished saluting Qianzong, looked at Bai Ziyu on the side, but there were tears in his eyes, and he knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the old minister." ”

Qianzong asked: "What's wrong, didn't Master Hou say that he was sick, why did the imperial doctor say that he was poisoned, and what happened to him at the beginning, you tell me about it one by one." ”

Marquis Jing Yuan still couldn't hold back, tears fell, and he replied: "Your Majesty, this matter has to start before I was poisoned." A few days ago, I found out that my second son went to the Zhou University Scholar's Mansion and brought back a young man, but this young man was very eccentric, he closed his door all day long, and he didn't see anyone, but he spread some poison around the courtyard and killed the maid in the mansion by mistake. So I went to ask the second child who he was, and if he didn't understand, let him leave the Hou Mansion and not live here. Then I suddenly fell ill and fell asleep all day long, not knowing anything. ”

"Why did Master Hou fight with the second master today?" Bai Ziyu wondered. Second Master Bai killed his father, this is not a trivial matter, what is the reason for him to do such a rebellious thing, this is the key.

The Marquis of Yasukuni's eyes were red again, and after a while, he said: "Today I heard in a daze that Ziyu is back, just outside the door, I want Ziyu to come in to meet, but no one pays attention, I broke the medicine bowl in a fit of anger, and the lady quarreled, this anger made me a lot more energetic, I was about to go out, but was stopped by the unfilial son, and then someone came to report that it was a thief hidden in the house, and the city defenders had been transferred to surround the Hou Mansion, I questioned the identity of the mysterious person, he was asked by me in a hurry, just..." The old marquis covered his face with his sleeves, he didn't want people to see the embarrassment at this time, but thinking about the situation at the time, his son was determined to kill him, his wife watched from the side and said nothing, he was so sick, but no one paid attention to the whole Hou Mansion, when his life was dying, if there was a big Hou Mansion, even the guards around him did not appear in front of him to save him, and he Jingguo Marquis was also a glorious life, how did he fall to such a point.

Qianzong was also embarrassed, he wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say, Bai Ziyu stepped forward and patted the back of the Marquis of Jingguo, and felt uncomfortable, this old man was originally good to him, at least when he was young, he took him with him and taught him carefully, at that time, he also had the love of grandchildren, although he was later regarded as an outcast, but it was mostly out of family interests. He hated and resented, but now he saw that he had betrayed his relatives and left, but he did not have a trace of joy, perhaps, these wishes have been put down.

The Marquis of Jingguo's mood gradually calmed down, raised his head and asked Bai Ziyu: "Ziyu, do you know what all this is going on?" ”

Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said, "I don't know the specifics, it's mostly speculation." I came back because there were frequent problems with the grain and grass sent to the army, and General Wang, who transported the grain, said that once he was taking fodder from Qizhou, and I was worried that something would happen, so I rushed back. ”

"Qizhou, grain and grass? They dare, they dare! When the Marquis of Yasukuni heard this, he was already very excited, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Bai Ziyu continued: "As soon as I came back, I went to the Hubu Warehouse, and found that there was indeed a problem with the grain transported from Qizhou, so I wanted to go back to the house to ask about the situation, but I didn't want to be turned away. After a pause, Bai Ziyu said again: "The mysterious person caught from Baifu is Bai Qixian, the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, that is, the person who defected to Chiyan and sacrificed a strange poison to harm the ghost king, the ghost king ordered the whole world to hunt him down, and pressured Chiyan to hand over Bai Qixian, Bai Qixian has lost his trace since then, but he didn't expect to hide in the capital." ”

The Marquis of Yasukuni was stunned again, Bai Qixian escaped from Chiyan, and the grain and grass in the army were poisonous, which was tantamount to linking the Bai family with Chiyan, and now it was wartime, which was tantamount to saying that the Bai family was treasonous! The ancestors of the Bai family have been the pillars of the country for several generations and are admired by all the people, but how come there are traitors in his generation. The Bai family is not afraid of the decline, only to keep the title, have a competitive descendant, since the day of the comeback, if the reputation of the first generation is ruined, the Bai family will be completely finished.

The Marquis of Jingguo suddenly shouted: "The Zhou family, it's the Zhou family, all this is arranged by the Zhou family." That person was brought back from the Zhou family by the second child, this is all a ploy of the Zhou family, the emperor, all this is the mastermind of the Zhou family. ”

Qianzong was shocked when he heard this, and glanced at Bai Ziyu with each other, Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said: "It's also possible, the emperor has already tried the case here, so let's continue the trial, and bring the old lady and Bai Erye over to ask for clarification." "If everything is really done by the Zhou family, and the Bai Mansion is just deceived, then things are much simpler.

Qianzong also thought of this, Hong'er begged him to protect the Bai Ziyu brothers, if the Bai family was accused of collaborating with the enemy, how could these two get rid of the relationship. But if it's just being used and being a victim, it's very different. So he asked people to mention the relevant criminals, and Qianzong was going to try the case in person.

After a while, Old Master Bai and Second Master Bai were brought up, and the Marquis of Jingguo stepped forward and gave Second Master Bai a slap and scolded: "You rebel, you are going to kill the Bai family and destroy the family, and cut off your children and grandchildren!" ”

Qianzong said to the Marquis of Yasukuni: "Master Hou, don't be angry yet, if you don't figure out this matter, maybe he will be deceived by someone." ”

Second Master Bai was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Qianzong, but when he saw that there was no killing intent in Qianzong's eyes, he had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly cried: "Father, the child is wrong, the child knows that he is wrong, and the child doesn't want to be like this." ”

Qianzong asked, "How did you come from the truth?" ”

Bai Erye thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, my father has been thinking about inviting Bai Ziyu's brother back to Hou Ye, and also said that he would pass on the position of Hou Ye to Ziren, I do have a grudge against this, but I also don't do anything out of the ordinary, until that day, I went to the Zhou Mansion to see my uncle, he said that as long as I listen to his arrangement, I will definitely let me be the next master of this Hou Mansion, I, I will believe it, and then let me bring that person back." Other things, I, I..."

Second Master Bai didn't say any more, but his eyes swept to Old Madam Bai intentionally or unintentionally, and he actually pushed everything else onto his mother.

Old Madam Bai made a wooden face and said coldly: "Yes, I arranged all this, I gave the poison to Hou Ye, and I also turned Ziyu away, and I even ordered the second child to kill his father, all of which I arranged." ”

The Marquis of Yasukuni said angrily: "Why, you and I have been married for decades, am I not good enough for you, you squeeze out the heirs of the big house, have I said anything about you, you want me to cultivate the second child, and you want the second child to compete for the throne, have I said a word?" It's just that he is not angry and ruined his good future, and you will do this. ”

Old Madam Bai said coldly: "I know that you are good to me, but who made your heart change, you actually saw that Bai Ziyu's brothers climbed to the princess, and the future is bright, you only think about their brothers, always thinking about them, and saying that the throne can only be inherited by their brothers, I married into Bai Zi, and worked hard for decades, in order to have a good future for my own children, how could I let you ruin my hard work for so many years." ”
