Chapter 4: Pondering and Fearing (1st Update)
The upside-down golden bell was sent to Hong's house as a gift, and it was a friend that Hong Sheng made when he first came to Hami, because of the difficult conditions at home, he has not yet married a daughter-in-law, only an old lady, who likes to grow flowers and grass.
So when he came to visit Hong's house, he pulled a cart of home-grown flowers to Su Su, and more than half of them were upside-down golden bells that would be opened in June.
The so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, Hong Sheng knew that their family was in difficulty, and he specially explained it to Su Su. Su Su is naturally not a greedy person, it doesn't matter what you send, flowers can still decorate the yard.
Although the old lady who came to the door was dressed plainly, she could see that she had received an excellent upbringing, and she was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Su Su, and she was very good at talking.
But I didn't expect that it was such a kind old lady who loved to raise flowers and plants, but she had sinister intentions.
Following her vine, Su Su and Hong Sheng found a shocking relationship network.
The old lady's surname is Bai, and she is actually the aunt of the richest man in Hami, the Bai family.
After following the investigation, although I didn't find anything wrong with their family, there was something special.
Since the Bai family moved to Hami sixty years ago, they have been marrying on a large scale, and in the past fifty or sixty years, at least forty girls have been married.
And they are all concubines who marry low-level military attachés as wives, and concubines are sent to the backyard of high-level military attachés as concubines.
Examining how many of those low-ranking military attachés were promoted and how many high-ranking military attachés left the northwest to take up their posts in the capital and needed to transfer out the army's files may be too time-consuming.
Commander Liu trusted Hong Sheng's ability in the end, and Su Su had already revealed the matter to the Qin family, under the pressure of his wife, Commander Liu asked his confidants to secretly investigate.
According to the Qin family's banquet invitation list, one by one, they were horrified to find that at least half of the families of the military generals and local officials of Hamiwei Wupin and above actually had female dependents surnamed Bai in their families.
Although according to the news found, those Bai daughters are very praised for their virtuous generosity, husbands and children.
Even the concubine is also beautiful and gentle, and she does not fight or rob.
But it is undeniable that a huge network of relationships is slowly woven through these women, like a black widow waiting for an opportunity to act in the shadows, thinking about it with great fear.
Even Commander Liu was taken aback when he learned the news. He has been in the northwest for more than 20 years, and has served as the commander of the Hami Guard for five years, and is privately called the Emperor of Hamitu.
But right under his nose, there lurked such a big net that was above board and no one cared about, and he didn't even notice it at all, listening to the "Earth Emperor" was simply ridiculous.
After a closer inspection, half of the low-ranking generals in Hamiwei were directly or indirectly related to the women of the Bai family.
Even his little friend, one of the two conductors, purchased a foreign house that was the great-granddaughter of the Bai family.
At this time, Commander Liu somewhat believed Hong Sheng's words that "the Bai family has a great plan".
But if the Bai family is a spy, he still remains suspicious.
If the Bai family is really a Tatar spy, and so many Bai family women have contributed, it is impossible for the military secrets related to Hamiwei such as the deployment map and troop arrangement to not be leaked at all.
But he has not caught spies in Hami for so many years, but there is no indication that it is related to the Bai family.
It's that his eyesight is not good, but the Bai family has settled in Hami for more than 60 years and has experienced at least ten guard command rooms.
Even his friend and boss, Master Qin San, who is also his brother-in-law, has also served as the commander of Hamiwei's guard, he is not a vegetarian, it is impossible for so many people not to notice, right?
Commander Liu couldn't figure out the inevitable connection between spices and spies even if he thought about it.
However, he will draw attention to the Bai family, but as Hong Sheng said, it is not possible to lead troops to surround the Bai family and interrogate them directly.
The Bai family has so many in-laws and networks, and after such a long time, the low-ranking sergeant has been promoted to one of the parties, and the high-ranking Guan official has been on an equal footing with his brother-in-law.
If there is no evidence and troops are sent to besiege it, I am afraid that I don't know how many people are waiting to participate in it.
Strange to say, except for Bai Wansan, who has only one daughter, the Bai family has many heirs in the last few generations, but the boys don't live long, so they can only leave a single seedling to pass on the ancestry.
Just like Bai Wansan, the current head of the Bai family, he has more than a dozen brothers and sisters, but in the end, only one boy and five sisters and two younger sisters survived.
The Bai family's explanation to the outside world is that there is a genetic disease in the family, and it is not easy for boys to support them.
But there are also some people who are not used to seeing the Bai family's wealth and will say in private, I heard some old people in Hamiwei say that the Bai family's history is not very glorious, and this is retribution.
In the records, the old lady of the Bai family also came to serve in the military because of the national conscription.
As soon as he arrived in Hami, his team was ambushed by Tatars in a battle, and suffered heavy casualties.
He saved his life by pretending to be dead, but he could only take a detour into Hami. After returning to Hong Sheng for a month, he had already become a casualty soldier, his military status was also revoked, and even his pension was divided by Shangguan
However, the old lady of the Bai family was also considered a blessing in disguise, so she changed her name and surname, married a woman from a local desperate family as her wife, and relied on the gold and silver things picked up from the dead to start a grain business and slowly make a fortune.
When Commander Liu was checking the situation of the Bai family, Su Su was sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard of the Hongfu in Hami County, eating grapes while listening to the daughters-in-law of the disabled veterans of Hami talking about the origin of the Bai family, and she expressed suspicion that only her son died due to a genetic disease in the family.
And the reason why Su Su is so leisurely now is naturally that he has already prepared an antidote to the chaos.
The antidote to the confusion was not difficult for Su Su to mix, but Su Su made it in one night.
The antidote is also a kind of incense product, called Dingshen, powdered spices must be placed in incense balls, breathe the aroma at all times, and use the circulation method to force the poison out.
Su Su guessed that there may be many people in this world who know that there are troubled hearts, but those who know that it has an antidote are probably the only ones who are alone, otherwise Yue Baiyou would not be so confident.
Since she tore her face that day, Su Su didn't allow Yue Baiyou to come over to ask for peace, only saying "I can't stand it", but in order to appease her, she still asked someone to tell her. Will take him to Liu Fufu.
And Su Su's suspicion of the Bai family became more and more prosperous as Yue Baiyou frequently left the mansion.
Just because there is a place where Yue Baiyou appears, there will definitely be Bai Jasmine, the eldest lady of the Bai family.
Even though they would break up every time, the little beggar who followed them was not easy to fool, and it was strange to say that two people gave them.
"It's like we have to brew some emotions before begging every time, it looks miserable, but it's all true and false, and there are many nonsense."
When Su Su personally met Linlang's good brother, a strange thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, after knowing that this girl was the self-proclaimed leader of the little beggar gang in Hami County, she felt that she had to redefine the meaning of "beggar".
Ya's begging has a script, director, starring, supporting roles, group actors, and props.
You are a beggar, you are Beiying!
