Chapter 242: The Bai Family's Catastrophe

Perhaps it was frightened by Ruan Cailing, the entire Bai family did not dare to come out, and looked at the two people sitting on the main seat in a daze, and the entire hall fell into a quiet moment, and suddenly a group of people broke in at the door, Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi Bafeng did not move and sat quietly, and the people who broke in were thought to be people from the Yamen, but they didn't think that it was Chen Heng who broke in with people.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jinxi glanced at Chen Heng who was standing at the door.

In broad daylight, he was dressed in a black and gold robe, holding a silk fan.

Chen Heng said with a smile, "Isn't this the prince and eldest lady who came to pick me up?" How about it, shall we go, or shall we ...... Kill? ”

When Chen Heng said the last word.

The entire Bai family was quiet, and then everyone except for Master Bai knelt down, "No, no, no, spare your life!" Spare your life! We, we don't mean that, we just hope to get some benefits from the eldest lady and the prince, we, we don't want to embarrass the eldest lady and the prince! Please be clear! ”

But at this moment, it didn't matter what they said, Ruan Cailing didn't look at the kneeling people on the ground, and only said, "It's damned, but you can't die now, stay for the time being, let's go, big brother is still waiting for us." ”

"Still."

Ben walked to the door with Ruan Cailing and the others, and before this group of Hades could walk out, he saw Ruan Cailing's footsteps stop, slowly turned around, and swept his cold eyes to the white master who was sitting down, not afraid of his resentful gaze, and said softly, "But you'd better remember today's events, I'm the best at holding grudges." ”

Inside the Yanhua Building.

As soon as Ruan Cailing stepped in, she was kneeled on the ground by a group of people, Ruan Cailing took a step back slightly, and Gu Jinxi supported Ruan Cailing's waist behind her, "People from the yamen." ”

At this time, why did the people from the yamen come?

When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I heard that the people from the yamen were inquiring about them, and it had only been a long time, why did they come here honestly and kneel?

Ruan Cailing looked at the person who appeared in front of her with confused eyes, Chen Heng shook his fan and came in from behind the two of them, his voice was smiling, but his eyes did not have the slightest temperature, "Didn't I hear that the Bai family invited you over, the eldest lady, the prince was worried that you had been wronged by the Bai family, so he brought the county lord here to press." ”

It seems that Ruan Xuchen should have done something, or said something, otherwise Zhixian would not have this kind of expression.

"What a fuss this is! My eldest brother called someone over, at most he was talking about the Bai family, how could he look at the magistrate's eyes as if he had seen a ghost? Ruan Cailing didn't let the magistrate get up.

still whispered to Gu Jinxi and Chen Heng behind him.

Since leaving the new house, Gu Jinxi has been following Ruan Cailing's side, but he doesn't know anything else, Chen Heng is inconvenient to show up in Jiangnan, but he has always followed Ruan Xuchen's side, at this time, going to the Bai family to show up shows that the Bai family's life is not long.

Chen Heng covered the corners of his lips with a fan, "Don't you know, your eldest brother sent someone to the yamen, and when he went in, he killed the head catcher who stopped at the door, and also killed the officials who came to the new house to invite you, and directly gave the magistrate to get off the horse, and he naturally couldn't be majestic at this time." ”

came up to forcibly suppress the magistrate like this, but it was also Ruan Xuchen's style, Ruan Cailing nodded, and then remembered that the magistrate was still kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Magistrate, please get up." Gu Jinxi opened his mouth and said.

Zhixian knelt with sweat, and only got up at this time with the support of the master next to him.

Upstairs, Ruan Xuchen was already waiting, followed by a group of people.

The shopkeeper of Yanhua Building in Jiangnan Town is a man, and he looks like he is only in his early twenties, and there is a long scar on his jaw, from the jaw to the position of the Adam's apple, it looks old, and it seems that there is no such a deep color anymore, and it is not hideous.

The other people who stood here and there were either the junior two of Yanhualou or the people of the Yamen.

Seeing Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi coming, Ruan Xuchen raised his hand, "Ling'er is here." ”

On the way from Baifu, Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi didn't say anything, but they followed a carriage behind them, following from a distance, even if they didn't say it, they knew who it was.

I didn't dare to get too close, so I could only watch from the door.

Ruan Cailing sat next to Ruan Xuchen, her eyes drifted to the people of the yamen, and the magistrate also followed her upstairs, but perhaps because Ruan Xuchen's murderous methods were too neat, at this moment, when she saw Ruan Xuchen, she trembled and opened her mouth, but Ruan Cailing snatched her words.

"The Bai family's tax leakage, can the county magistrate know?" Ruan Cailing asked suddenly.

This......

There are so many shops in the entire Jiangnan Town, it is normal that some money has not been handed over, as long as the money given to the county is in place, there are not so many people who care, and the money in the pocket of the county has been more than the income of a serious minister in a year.

So after arriving here, even if there is a chance for promotion, the magistrate is reluctant to go.

The emperor was far away, and no one cared about the top of his head.

"I, this, what the eldest lady said, there are so many shops in Jiangnan Town, even if the villain has eight pairs of eyes, it is impossible to see them all! Some businesses use some crooked brains, and we just turn a blind eye, there is really no way. ”

Seeing the sincerity of what Zhixian said, if it weren't for knowing the transaction between them, Ruan Cailing would have believed it.

nodded thoughtfully, and temporarily confirmed the words of the magistrate, and then Ruan Xuchen said, "Okay, you go out first, you don't need you here for the time being, oh yes, I heard that the Bai family has never made a big gift to my sister and King Xuan's son?" This matter, the county magistrate will look at it, and we shouldn't take care of it too much when we first arrive. ”

As soon as the magistrate heard that he was going to let him go, he immediately stood up, "Yes, yes, the lower officials must discipline them well!" The two princes are safe, the eldest lady is An, let's retreat first! ”

When the magistrate left from Yanhua Building, he stood at the gate and wiped the sweat on his head under the scorching sun.

"My lord, what are these two princes and eldest ladies doing when they come to us at this time? Didn't you say some time ago that you sent a colt to the plague-plagued border town next door? We're here again? "The master followed the county magistrate, and he didn't dare to come out.

The master who followed Zhixian was originally resourceful, but looking at the appearance of the two princes, he also understood that the frog at the bottom of the well was talking about them, and the master naturally didn't dare to get an axe in front of them.

Not to mention the two princes, let's just talk about the eldest lady, his wisdom is not worth it.

Zhixian looked at the carriage of Baifu at the door, and sighed faintly, "Haven't you understood what the prince said!" This sharp statement pointed directly at the Bai family, it seems that this time is a catastrophe for the Bai family, I have been secretly trading with the Bai family for many years, but I am afraid that this time I will not be able to help! ”

Obviously, they are going to take the Bai family under the knife, as long as the fire does not burn on their bodies, the magistrate feels that it is okay, it doesn't matter if others die, as long as they can survive, just a Bai family, where can it compare to their own lives?

As long as you are alive, there will always be other businesses to tie you up, and you don't have to worry about having no money.

"Forget it, this is a sin created by the Bai family themselves, we can't take care of it, the prince also said, during this time, let's watch the gate of the yamen, don't listen to the things outside the window, just don't care about anything, the affairs of the Bai Mansion are not something we can manage, let's go back." Zhixian flicked his sleeves, and the master followed behind Zhixian in a gloomy manner, leaving with his head down.

Ruan Cailing took a sip of tea, "I was in the Bai family just now, and I drank some snow-capped mountains and cold greens, even Qingrui could see that it was old tea, and the Bai family actually looked proud, as if they couldn't drink such a delicious tea in other places besides their Bai family, it was really ridiculous." ”

I'm afraid that the Bai family has been in this kind of place for a long time, and I don't know what kind of identity and scenery their Dingguo Mansion is in the capital.

Dare to argue with them, and they are very bold.

"People who have never seen the world are like this, it doesn't matter, I have already arranged for someone to send Uncle Long to the border city, take care of the matter here a little, we should go to the border city, but the plague is spreading in the border city, what Jin Xi and I mean is that otherwise you will stay here, and it won't take long for us to have any news to and fro."

Ruan Cailing frowned, knowing that the eldest brother and Jin Xi would choose to let her stay here because they were worried about her safety, but she was never a greenhouse flower who needed to be protected.

Ruan Cailing shook her head and said, "No, I'm going with you!" The plague spreads, but after all, there are people who have not been infected with the plague, I think there must be something in common among people who have not been infected with the plague, it must be right to start with them, I want to go and see, and I can also help Uncle Long. ”

Gu Jinxi gave Ruan Xuchen a 'I know' look.

Originally, on the way, Ruan Xuchen and Gu Jinxi discussed letting Ruan Cailing stay in the new house, but until they arrived, Gu Jinxi never mentioned it to Ruan Cailing, just because he knew Ruan Cailing too well.

She wouldn't say yes.

If she was cowardly, she wouldn't have followed this time.

Since she came, Ruan Cailing knew what the purpose of her trip was.

Ruan Xuchen sighed helplessly, "That's it, Jin Xi said, you won't be obedient, Uncle Long also said this before leaving, I think it makes sense, this Bai family must be recovered within three days, and the emperor is still waiting for news." ”

Heh, the lives of the Baifu family are not important at all in the eyes of the emperor.

Maybe the emperor's reason is high-sounding enough, and Baifu deserves it, but what the royal family did still made Ruan Cailing feel a little awkward.

It's good that they're not royalty.

And the only pure wisdom that has something to do with them is also a simple and kind character, so don't be too burdened
