Xuanyuan guessed very early that the person sent by the government this time must be Pei Zhen, who has not shown up.

Seeing Pei Zhen wearing a dark brown official uniform, where is there still the momentum of a general's armor when he was in the capital. After all, it was his masterpiece that he was relegated to this point. A coward who betrayed his father-in-law and fiancée, Xuanyuan despised it from the bottom of his heart.

Now he is Bai Shengxin, this role always has to be performed, and he took the initiative to step forward, "Bai Shengxin greets the Lord Inspector Yushi, please take a seat." ”

Pei Zhen glanced at him, "The lord of the White League is polite, this official has been ordered by the imperial court to come to supervise all matters related to the election of the leader of the alliance, and if you choose a respected person to lead the Chamber of Commerce, the supervision of the imperial court will be much easier." ”

"What the adults said is that now that everyone has arrived, why don't we start!"

Pei Zhen was surprised: "Hey, don't worry, the Lord of the White Alliance, it's not a thorough inspection of the account books once every three years, it's better to announce the results of the thorough investigation first, which is also convenient for the supervision of the imperial court." ”

Bai Shengxin pretended to hesitate, "Your Excellency is here for the first time, I probably don't know the system of the Chamber of Commerce, the audit is an internal inspection, and it is never leaked, and before the election, the five have already been checked, and the other family heads have no opinions, if you don't believe it, Lord Pei can ask the family masters." ”

Pei Zhen was surprised, he was with several family heads the night before, and he was still discussing how to move to the Bai family, and his eyes looked at Meng Chongguang, "The head of the Meng family has something to say." ”

Although Bai Shengxin helped them detoxify, and still had their incriminating evidence and guarantee in his hand, Meng Chongguang got up and said, "Back to my lord, the account book has been rechecked, and there is nothing wrong. ”

Bai Shengxin said with a smile: "My lord also heard it, what the head of the Meng family said, the head of the Meng family is highly respected and is the best candidate for the leader of this alliance, and the words of the head of the Meng family are absolutely credible." ”

Meng Chongguang heard what Bai Shengxin said, gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "In the past three years, the leader of the Bai League has led many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, adhered to the benevolent business and benevolence, did not deceive the people, did not seek profit, was honest-based, and won the love of the people, and the Meng family decided to withdraw from the battle for the alliance leader. ”

Pei Zhen's Tie Qing, who was so angry, was so angry that Meng Chongguang turned back and looked at Qiu Tong in the crowd, Qiu Tong put the Gu flute in his sleeve into his lips and played it low, but Meng Chongguang didn't react at all, but Qiu Tong was shocked, what happened? Her Gu flute couldn't summon Gu worms.

"What sound?" Bai Shengxin pretended not to know and said deliberately.

The audio disappeared instantly. After searching for a long time to no avail, he smiled and said: "Xu is an auditory hallucination, can the ceremony of electing the leader of the alliance begin." ”

Pei Zhen's eyes were dark, looking at the remaining three family masters, now that the Meng family has withdrawn, he can only put hope on the two old guys of the Nangong family and the Shen family.

"Let's get started!"

"Wait, the Jiang family withdraws." It was Jiang Yeyang who spoke, and the four of them had signed a letter of guarantee, and the ending was already doomed, so they still took the initiative to quit like the head of the Meng family, and they were more chic.

"Not only did the Meng family and the Bai family withdraw, but the Shen family and the Nangong family also withdrew, and the head of the Bai League was highly respected and should be re-elected." Nangong Fudao.

Bai Shengxin was surprised and said: "How can you Bai be able to do it, I dare not do it." ”

Pei Zhen was immediately a little angry, this was his last chance, if he couldn't complete the task, the prince would definitely not transfer him back to the capital.

"The head of the Meng family withdrew, and the head of the Jiang family also withdrew, do you have a handle in the hands of the Bai family."

"Of course not, we did it willingly." Shen Jinian said.

"Are you a family member who was elected as the leader of the alliance? In such a child's play, the official had to report to the imperial court that the general association of merchants had been withdrawn. ”

Qiu Tong saw that Pei Zhen was about to go berserk, "My lord, the head of the Meng family once found out some accounts, but for some reason he suddenly changed his attitude~ . The account book was on Qiu Niang's body and was handed over to the adults for inspection. ”

Qiu Tong finally made a move, and the heads of the four families also escaped the interrogation, and the corners of Shen Jinian's lips hooked up with a sneer, Bai Shengxin said that the account book was deliberately left by him to lead the prince's people to take the bait. After all, the prince is also the one who persecutes ~ them, watching them eat dog and kill each other. There was some schadenfreude.

Qin Shui, who was sitting on the side, was about to stand up, but was stopped by King Yu, and he didn't expect that the four family heads were unwilling to even cooperate with the acting, and directly chose to quit.

It's much simpler, and you don't need to do it. watched Qiu Tong hand over the account book to Pei Zhen's hand.

Pei Zhen looked at it pretendedly, "Okay, you Bai Shengxin, what kind of crime should you be guilty of building a furnace privately and violating the law of the country by casting silver without authorization!" ”

"I admit that the Bai family did privately mint two taels of silver, one for 1.1 million taels and one for 800,000 taels."

"Since you admit it, the position of the alliance leader of the Bai family can be regarded as the end."

Bai Shengxin laughed loudly, "It's really ridiculous, Master Pei doesn't ask what all this silver has been done?" ”

These words made the heads of the four families interested in advance, no matter what it was? Privately minting silver money is a violation of national law.

Bai Shengxin took out a document authorized by the government to mint coins from his arms, "Two years ago, the Ganjiang River flooded for thousands of miles, and thousands of miles of starvation. The imperial court was at war, and the treasury was empty and could not produce much silver. But he still paid 500,000 yuan in silver for disaster relief.

Although it was expected that in the hands of Zhang Shida, the governor of Yunzhou, he was exploited layer by layer, and there were less than 200,000 taels left, and where did the 300,000 taels go? ”

There are people dying of hunger and disease every day, and my Bai family secretly opened all its granaries to support the disaster area free of charge. Zhang Shida couldn't bear the suffering of the people, and knelt down and begged me to temporarily lend him 300,000 taels of silver to help the disaster. However, he hoped to use the official's money to help the disaster, and he did not want the people to be disappointed in the court. The instrument of silver casting was specially approved. ”

"The silver is like a water drift, it is not enough at all, we have cast it twice, the first time is for disaster relief, the second time is for building a dam, the embankment that stretches for hundreds of miles outside the Yunzhou embankment is built by the Bai family.

I would like to ask where the money for the construction of the embankment distributed by the imperial court has gone. Our Bai family has plugged holes for corrupt officials again and again, and the people are talking about the good of the court, and they are grateful to the court.

Pei Zhen seemed to have heard a big joke, "Who will believe it?" The Bai family is not a fool~. ”

"Because Bai Shengxin is still a person, an upright person. A person with a conscience and conscience ~ knowledge is not a profiteer and corrupt official who ignores his conscience, regardless of whether the people live or die. The people of our Bai family can stand up to the sky and say that every tael of silver in our Bai family is clean. ”

There is another point he didn't say, that is, for his father, Zhang Shida, who he took the initiative to find.

He did his best to relieve the disaster, Zhang Shida won the political achievements, he only needed the silver-minted documents.

His father was incompetent, but he was still a good emperor who loved the government and the people. He can resent and spurn, but he does not allow the people to scold him for being mediocre.

Bai Shengxin's righteous and awe-inspiring speech made people awe-inspiring, and some people applauded, and some people in the crowd shouted: "We choose the leader of the Bai League to continue to worry about the leader of the alliance and lead everyone to be a benevolent and righteous businessman." ”

As long as one person takes the lead, someone will stand up and respond, and Bai Shengxin is expected to be the leader of the alliance.

On the other side, Mu Bangshang seemed to have a long, long nightmare, dancing happily on the fire in the dream, and then the fire became hotter and hotter, and she was scorched and tormented by the scorching flames, she ran desperately, but she couldn't get out of the dream.

Yan Jiu has now returned to her original appearance and changed into a woman's clothes, and it is inconvenient for her Bai Shengyi's identity to stay and take care of her.

Seeing Mu Bangsang's expression seemed to be very painful, "Miss Mu, Miss Mu!" ”

In her dream, Mu Bangshang heard Yan Jiu's voice, followed the sound and walked forward, and suddenly opened her eyes.

It's a terrible dream, but my body is abnormally weak, and every inch of my body hurts. Sister. ”

"You don't know you're weak."

Her body knows best, but she doesn't even have the strength to speak, how could Sister Yan change back into women's clothes? It's dawn now, and "I.... How long did you sleep? Lord them.... Where did it go? ”

"They went to the General Chamber of Commerce, and today is a big day to run for the League. The prince has already arranged for the Qinshui mother-in-law to attend on your behalf, the prince has always been considered to have made no omissions, and he will definitely keep the position of the leader of the Bai family. ”

King Yu's means, Mu Bangshang is not worried. Now she is worried about her body, she has been poisoned once, and she has not become so weak, Yan Jiu was supposed to participate in the election as the second young master of the Bai family, and she always felt that something happened during the time she was asleep that she didn't know.

straightened her body, Yan Jiu hurriedly helped her body up, took the soft jacket and put it behind her back.

"You're weak, it's better not to move."

Sitting up, his breath was much smoother than just now, "Sister Yan told me, what happened?" Why am I so weak? ”

Yan Jiu didn't want to say it, but it seemed that she still couldn't hide it, after all, she knew her body best, "It's Wen Zhen, she took advantage of your weak body to burn ylang-ylang." ”

Mu Bangsheng's brain roared, Wen Zhen was so despicable. Busy and take a look.

Yan Jiu has always had clear grievances, and he admires Li Ge for being a righteous gentleman and does not hide it.

"Miss Mu, don't worry, this time thanks to His Royal Highness throwing you into the bathtub, His Royal Highness was also poisoned, and it was the prince of my family who used his internal force to drive away the poison for Miss Mu."

Unexpectedly, the two men joined forces to save her, "How is Ge now?" ”

"Your Highness is naturally fine, you have to worry about yourself. That Wen Zhen is so hateful that he has been imprisoned by the prince. ”

Mu Bangshang's heart was also cold, women's jealousy was really terrible, and such things as ruining people's reputations were done.

Mu Bangshang took the medicine to nourish his body, and fell asleep again.

Today, Bai Shengxin was undisputed as the leader of the alliance, and after the banquet, everyone returned to the Bai family one after another.

Xuanyuan and Li Ge came to the room and saw that Mu Bangshang was still sleeping, "Have you ever woken up?" ”

"I woke up during the day, took the medicine and fell asleep again."

The two looked at each other and prepared to leave, Mu Bangshang had slept a lot in the past few days, and woke up when he heard the noise.

"Don't go!" The two men who had just reached the door turned around and walked back.

Yan Jiu saw that she had something to say, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and Li Ge said, "If you have anything to say, say it slowly." ”

The light of his eyes crossed Li Ge and fell on Xuanyuan's reckless body, King Yu was determined to win the position of the leader of the alliance, "The prince can see Pei Zhen." ”

"See."

"Lord Wang, if this mission fails, they will definitely leave the capital, I want revenge!"

Xuanyuan frowned heavily, "Those two people will not be in a hurry to return to the capital, they will definitely wait for an opportunity to get rid of the Bai family, and the Bai family may be the next Xilin family." So this time, the king will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and he will not let go of any of them, forcing the prince to jump over the wall in a hurry. ”

Li Ge was a little worried, "Lord Wang, this is a risky move." ”

"If it succeeds, the Wei family will be eradicated in one fell swoop."

His eyes looked at Mu Bangshang, "When I was in the capital, this king promised to avenge you, and this time I will let you see Pei Zhen's retribution with your own eyes." ”
