Chapter 246: Brothers Reunited
When the group first arrived in Beiping, it ushered in the first snow of this winter.
There was a long queue in front of Zhengyang Gate, quietly waiting for the guards to check everyone's passes.
The carriage was already burning with a hearth, and the snow was shaking outside, but it was warm as spring inside. Bai Tang lifted the corner of the car curtain, the blue-gray bricks and stones into a tall and long city wall as far as the eye can see, this scene is familiar and unfamiliar, he can't help but sigh, fate is really strange, he has traveled through thousands of years, and actually returned to his hometown!
The carriage slowly entered the city. Bai Tang suddenly heard Xu San's frightened cry: "Ah Jianβ"
Ajan?
Bai Tang hurriedly leaned out of the car, and in the wind and snow, Ah Jian held an umbrella and talked to Xu San with a smile. I haven't seen her for nearly a year, and Ah Jian's temperament is more elegant, like a Xiuzhi jade tree, which is difficult to give up.
"I'm sure you're almost there, so I'm here to pick you up at the gates." Ah Jian didn't hide the expectation in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "What about Bai Tang?" In which car? β
"Ah Jianβ" Bai Tang jumped out of the car and ran towards him happily.
Xu San's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The road is slippery in snow, you slow down!" β
Ah Jian was shocked when he heard Bai Tang's voice. He turned his head very slowly to look for the source of the sound, and when he saw a cold face that he had traced in his mind many times, he suddenly felt choked in his throat, and he felt that his feet were nailed in the slush, and he couldn't move.
Xu San also forgot to avoid suspicion at this time, held Bai Tang's arm, and the acidic liquid was tumbling in his heart, helping him to walk towards Ah Jian.
Even though he had already been mentally prepared, he had obviously convinced himself that he must no longer be attracted and confused by Bai Tang, but looking at the two people who came side by side in the snow and were intimate, Ah Jian's heart still tingled.
"Ajan." Bai Tang approached him, couldn't hold back his excited smile, and then looked at him in annoyance and said, "You are also taller than me!" β
Ah Jian came back to his senses, smiled and comforted him: "You are already younger than us. β
Xu San coughed lightly twice: It's only half a head away from being with Ye, how tall do you want to grow? Do you still want to disguise yourself as a man and go to Qinhuai River to flirt with girls? Thinking that the city of Beijing is still barren and has no place to have fun, I suddenly felt very relaxed. I felt depressed for a while: other families are guarding against men looking for flowers and willows, and he has to beware of a woman cheating on a woman behind his back - what kind of world!
Su Shi Bailan also happily greeted Qin Jian, and the three of them sat in Bai Tang's carriage together.
Bai Tang saw that the upper of Jian's deerskin boots was wet. "Why have you been standing in the snow for so long?" Take it off and bake it around the fireplace. It's dry in a while. β
Ah Jian took off her socks embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Thanks to your hearth!" It's cold here, and it can really kill people. β
Bai Tang poured a cup of hot tea and asked Xu San to snatch it and deliver it to Ah Jian: "Quick, warm up." β
Ah Jian pretended not to see their eyebrows and eyes, drank tea, and said in a low voice: "Bai Tang, I heard about the Du family. β
Bai Tang didn't think about it for a while: "What Du family?" β
"Hangzhou Du family." Xu San said in a deep voice, "What? Did Duan Minglou really go to Hangzhou to open the coffin for an autopsy? β
Only then did Bai Tang remember: the shameless Hangzhou Du family who pretended to be Xu Danling.
"You're far away in Beiping, and you've heard about it?"
Ah Jian shook his head and said: "This case has caused a lot of trouble in Jiangnan. Women and mothers know it. β
Bai Tang frowned and asked, "What does the prefect of Hangzhou say?" β
Ah Jian hesitated: "Hangzhou prefect...... A thorough investigation of this case is an order of the national teacher. But as you know, the national teacher passed away not long ago. β
Xu San snorted coldly: "He still dares to disobey the yin and the yang and shield the Du family?" β
Ah Jian smiled bitterly: "The Du family has deep roots in Hangzhou, and they have always gotten along well with local officials. It's not that the prefect is protecting him. However, in terms of evidence, there is quite a lack of evidence. β
Bai Tang couldn't help asking: "Is Duan Helin's medical case still there?" β
"Yes." Ah Jian sighed, "Duan Helin was originally suffering from an ordinary cold, but he was treated as a serious illness by that doctor. His nephew Duan Minglou asked the Du family, the doctor was invited by the Du family, and he had no grudge against Duan Helin, why did he want to harm people like this? β
"The Du family only cried and complained that they were mistaken by quacks, and they are absolutely harmless."
"What did the doctor say?"
Qin Jian shook his head: "I didn't have time to summon that doctor." β
Bai Tang and Xu San looked at each other and said, "Dead? β
"Hmm. left a suicide note, saying that it was a misdiagnosis of Duan Helin that caused him to die. Guilty, he committed suicide by taking medicine. β
If you don't die sooner or later, you commit suicide with guilt when the government investigates the case? There was silence in the carriage for a while, and Bai Tang asked coldly, "Duan Minglou accepts this result?" β
Duan Minglou originally asked for an autopsy. But when it came to this point, he also knew that if the doctor wanted to heal a person, he would never leave any traces of poison on the corpse. Even if the coffin is opened, nothing can be found. So he could only angrily accuse Du Mianhua of using his uncle's name to pretend to be Xu Danling in Nanjing. β
Bai Tang gently wiped his forehead: "Swagger and deception." This crime is much lighter......"
Qin Jian nodded and said, "Yes." Duan Minglou's purpose was to clear his uncle's name. Du Mianhua admitted that he was fascinated for a while, and mistakenly thought that Duan Helin was Xu Danling, greedy for the profits of Lan Xue and the color version, so he caused these troubles. I am willing to apologize to the Duan family. β
Xu San read the law. The cause of Duan Minglou's death could not be found, and Du Jinhua's actions did not cause serious consequences to Baitang, nor did it have any bad impact. If the prefect of Hangzhou wants to reconcile with the mud, it can really be stable and stable, without revealing any mud cracks.
He endured his anger and asked, "So, Duan Minglou knew that his uncle died unjustly, and he let the King of Han and the Du family conspire to kill him." But because there was no evidence, I had to admit that I was unlucky and went back to Jingjiang? β
Qin Jian sighed: "What can he do? However, I heard that he did not return to Jingjiang, but went to Nanjing. β
Xu San was slightly stunned: "What is he doing when he goes back to Nanjing?" β
"βFlood control." Bai Tang said, "Have you forgotten Your Majesty's recruitment order?" β
If Duan Minglou had no intention of intervening in officialdom before. But the death of his uncle Duan Helin made him deeply realize that with his current strength, he could not pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. If the King of Han and the Du family wanted to retaliate against him and put him in a small shoe, he would not be able to escape no matter what. But his father, Pan Youming, is the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry after all. If you can get a recommendation and start as a junior official in the Ministry of Works, it will be completely different.
"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Qin Jian comforted Bai Tang and said, "If the Du family behaves like this, something will happen sooner or later." β
Bai Tang sneered. King Han went to the fiefdom, and the Du family had nothing to rely on! and because of Duan Helin's incident, his vitality was greatly damaged. In recent years, we can only recuperate in a low-key manner in order to make a comeback.
Du Jiaben is also preparing to build a school in the new capital. It's a pity that this has happened, and it can't be done in recent years. β
Bai Tang sneered: "Can this kind of thief mislead people's children? After thinking about it, he asked, "Hangzhou can't only have his Du family, right?" β
Ah Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled and asked, "What do you want to do?" β
Bai Tang hooked his lips and smiled: "Revenge." β
The carriage stopped.
"Host, Madame, Mademoiselle. We're home! β
