Chapter 125: A Game Within a Game
As soon as Yan Zhuo saw Bai Yi smiling, he knew that it was done.
Bai Yi was also happy, he finally completed a big thing alone, and said happily: "The fifth uncle agreed, he will hide it from the sixth uncle, and say that the red yeast rice has been collected in two warehouses, which is enough to brew the imperial wine for the New Year's Festival." ”
When Bai Shixin's Yulu Autumn is selected, it is necessary to re-brew all Yulu Autumn with red yeast rice. At that time, Bai Shixin, who can't find red yeast rice, is not at their disposal?
She thought for a while and asked, "Does Uncle Sixth want anything else?" ”
Bai Yi shook his head, "He said that he wanted to divide the family, and then take the rice and grain shop, and don't want anything else." ”
After thinking about it for a moment, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.
However, Bai Shipeng had long been dead to Bai Shixin, and it was impossible to betray them.
Bai Shipeng returned to his inner yard, Bai Zhilan was already able to get out of bed and walk, and Zhang was still in bed.
The tea was not very toxic, except for a few mouthfuls of blood at the time, the two of them were a little scary, and there was no big problem in the back, most of the Zhang family was still frightened, plus the age, this one after another tossed, and they were simply bedridden.
"Grandpa!" Bai Zhilan came up to serve tea to Bai Shipeng, her body and voice were soft and weak.
Bai Shipeng took the tea, showed a rare smile, and rubbed Bai Zhilan's bun, "Don't worry, in a few days, no one will dare to bully us!" ”
The eighth day of August is a good day.
Early in the morning, the gate of Haicheng was opened, and the county commander Gao Peng led a group of officials to the outside of the city to welcome Zhu Rong, the Taifu Shaoqing who came from Jinling.
Zhu Rong's trip came to inspect the people and bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, and secondly, it was to select tribute wine and tributes and other palace supplies for the Xinnen Great Zhou court.
During the day, accompanied by Gao Peng and Gao Huai, he led Zhu Rong to walk around the county government and the lake and seaside, and in the evening, it was Gao Huai who prepared a reception banquet for Zhu Shaoqing, which was also a scene prepared for Bai Shixin's Yulu Autumn.
Bai Shixin has been excited since the morning, and asked Bai Shipeng no less than 20 times if the wine is ready, and the red yeast is ready?
The Yuluqiu to be used at the dinner was made by him personally guarding the stove and steaming and rebrewing, which was bound to make this Zhu Shaoqing kneel down at the first bite!
Bai Shipeng, as usual, ran for him, busy all day, after noon, Bai Shipeng and Bai Shiwei together, accompanied Bai Shixin to Gaofu.
Bai Yi and Bai Yu went to Wang Lu to help choose people and set rules, and Yan Zhuo rarely had time to play chess with Zhizhi.
As soon as I finished a plate and a half, I heard a commotion outside.
Yan Zhuo pricked up his ears, stood up, and was about to go out to look, when he saw Tianguo'er stumbling in, and said urgently: "Lady, lady!" ”
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhuo hugged her, "Speak slowly." ”
Tianguo'er took a breath, "Bai Shixin! Bai Shixin ......"
Zhizhi was even more impatient, and rushed over to shake the sweet fruit, "Sixth uncle, what's wrong with him?" ”
"I heard he killed someone!" Sweet fruit hurriedly spit out.
Yan Zhuo was stunned, how could Bai Shixin kill someone?
"Killed whom?"
Tian Guo'er gestured with her hand, "The big official who came today, what is Zhu Shao!" ”
Yan Zhuo and Zhi Zhi exclaimed at the same time, "Zhu Shaoqing? ”
Tianguo'er nodded, "Everyone outside is panicking!" I heard that the sixth master was locked up on the spot and sent to prison! ”
Yan Zhuo gasped, Bai Shixin did everything possible to let Yuluqiu be selected as a tribute, and it was absolutely impossible to harm Zhu Shaoqing!
She immediately asked, "How did you kill it?" ”
Tianguo'er shook her head, "I don't know, I heard that the sixth master was imprisoned for murder!" ”
Yan Zhuo immediately ran out with Zhizhi, and Tianguo'er was busy catching up behind.
Bai Mansion is already panicking, who is Bai Shixin, patriarch!
Whether you are in a hurry or watching the excitement, you are all asking for news here.
As soon as Yan Zhuo and Zhi Zhi ran to the second gate, they heard someone saying, "Ouch! Who knew that wine was poisonous? Lord Shaoqing drank it and bled on the spot, gone! ”
Zhizhi grabbed the man and asked, "What wine?" ”
The mother-in-law saw that it was her, and replied with a trembling Suo: "Yes, the newly brewed Yuluqiu of the sixth master." ”
Zhizhi let go of her hand in fright and looked back at Yan Zhuo.
Yan Zhuo shook his head and motioned for her not to panic.
The brewing recipe she gave to Bai Shixin through Zhizhi is absolutely fine, it's not Yuluqiu's business, it's absolutely, someone poisoned Yuluqiu!
Who could it be?
Yan Zhuo narrowed his eyes, this matter is too simple, Bai Shipeng!
But apart from a few of them and Bai Shipeng knowing, how could anyone else think that Bai Shipeng would frame Bai Shixin?
However, it is obvious that Bai Shipeng deceived them!
He wasn't going to work with them, so why did he pretend to join them that day?
He could have rejected them, but he could still poison Bai Shixin in Yulu Qiuli!
Whatever his ultimate purpose, at least, he didn't mean anything to them......
Thinking of this, Yan pondered and immediately said to Zhizhi: "You go and find Erlang and Bai Yu, and let them be careful of Bai Shipeng." ”
Zhizhi didn't ask why, nodded and rushed out.
Yan Zhuo turned around and said a few words to Tianguo'er, and then hurriedly went to Bai Zhilan.
In the county office, it has been blocked by the forbidden army.
The night was dark, and Zhu Shaoqing's corpse was placed in the flower hall that should have been staggered.
In the side hall was Gao Peng, who was so worried that his beard was almost white, and he was trembling to write a report to the imperial court.
In the study at the back, there was a person kneeling in front of Gao Huai, it was Bai Shipeng.
Gao Huai's white jade face sank like the bottom of a pot, staring at Bai Shipeng with squinted eyes, his eyes full of murderous aura.
“…… I don't care how your Bai family fights, but if you do this game, you know that my Gao family will also be involved, and it is me Gao Huai who is bullied! Hmph, stupid! Do you think that Bai Shixin is so finished, you will be able to take over the Bai family smoothly? You're too ignorant of the sky! ”
Bai Shipeng knelt on the ground respectfully, raised his head, but his face was not afraid, and his eyes were still shining, "My lord! Bai Shipeng is not a stupid person, if Bai Shixin hadn't deceived my wife and daughter and had no way out, how could I do this risky move? But this game doesn't end there! Do you know, who supplied Bai Shixin with Yuluqiu? ”
"Who?" Gao Huai raised his eyelids and looked at him.
He once asked Bai Shixin, and Bai Shixin only said that he had accidentally discovered it.
"It's Erlang of Baijia Village, Bai Yi!" Bai Shipeng said word by word.
Gao Huai's eyelids twitched, as if he guessed what he was going to say.
Bai Shipeng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said gloomily: "Didn't the adults tell my sixth brother last time?" Do you want to find a way to force the Bai family again? If you can't force it from the money, then from the name! This time, won't adults have a chance? ”
Gao Huai stared at him without blinking, "What do you mean?" ”
Bai Shipeng grinned, "Let Bai Shixin confess, this wine was given by Bai Yi, then he Bai Erlang has no way to escape this time, and he can also take the opportunity to kill the court ministers and frame the patriarch to kill his orphans and widows, and remove the orphans and widows of Bai Shixi!" ”
