Chapter 412: The Perplexed People
Inside Bai Yu's mansion. Bai Yu and Bai Yan were discussing things in the study, and when they heard the report from the next person that Bai Yan and Bai Bo had returned, the two hurriedly got up.
Soon in the courtyard, the two saw Bai Yan and Bai Bo and their party.
"Brother!"
"Brother!!" Bai Yan and Bai Yu looked at Bai Bo Jili, and after watching Bai Bo return the salute, they looked at Bai Yan, Bai Junzhu, and Bai Yingxue, who were bowing their hands.
"Uncle, uncle!"
"Father, uncle!" Looking at the three of Jili, Bai Yan and Bai Yu nodded.
"Go to the study!" Bai Yan and Bai Yu didn't rush to say anything here, but asked Bai Yan to go to the study. With the group back to the study.
Lu came over with tea. Bai Yan and Bai Yu knelt behind the wooden table, glanced at each other, and looked at the young man with frowns.
"What is the matter with Luoyin?" Bai Yan was the first to ask, his tone full of worry.
"Do you kid know that during this time, the entire Xianyang City is waiting to see the joke!" Bai Yu was also on the side, sighing, and looked at Bai Yan with some hatred.
Looking at the kid in front of him at this moment, Bai Yu couldn't understand why the kid who was like a little fox in the past was confused for a while, and put down that notice, even if he just arrived in the fiefdom, he didn't want a reputation like this.
Nowadays, every day in the court, while waiting at the gate of the palace, all the officials are laughing and talking about Luoyin, and almost most of them are waiting to see the jokes.
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Yu became angry. has been a general for so many years, how can he have been laughed at like this, but Bai Yan, this kid, can't afford to take it lightly, which makes people see the joke, the key is that he has nothing to refute, otherwise Bai Yu will have to fight with those people even if his body is not as good as at the beginning.
"The matter of Luoyin is approved by the king!" Bai Yan looked at Bai Yan and said, then looked at Bai Yu who had a complaining face and smiled.
"Uncle why should he care about what others say, if others laugh today, they won't laugh again in the future!" Bai Yan pretended to be profound.
However, this appearance fell in Bai Yu's eyes, so he didn't make Bai Yu angry.
"You're still hiding?" Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan unhappily, to be honest, fortunately Bai Yan was not his own nephew, otherwise Bai Yu really couldn't help but take out his crutch.
However, Bai Yan was more rational, and when he heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan quietly.
"The king's permission?" Bai Yan said softly. Previously, Bai Yan and Bai Yu learned about Luoyin, so they continued to analyze it in the mansion, because they both had a hunch that Bai Yan's personality was probably not a moment of confusion, but a plot, but they didn't know why.
And seeing more and more businessmen crossing the river from Luoyin coming to Xianyang, this made Bai Yan and Bai Yu even more confused, because looking at those businessmen, Bai Yan obviously really helped them pay for the boat.
Now. Hearing Bai Yan say that he had reported to the king, the king also allowed this matter. Hiss~! Bai Yan has been a businessman for many years, and it is the first time that he feels that his head is not enough, if Bai Yan may be confused and mess up for a while, then it is impossible for the king to mess around.
What the hell is going on here? Bai Yan, who couldn't figure it out, looked at his two daughters quietly.
However, Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, who were standing, shook their heads silently when they saw Bai Yan's eyes, signaling that they didn't know.
"Virtuous nephew, no matter what, he is a member of the Bai clan, if there is a major matter, it is better to say it, it was the uncle who had a lot of inappropriateness before, but his mind is still for the sake of the virtuous nephew." At this time, Bai Bo couldn't help but look at Bai Yan helplessly, with a sincere face.
After all, Bai Yan didn't even say Bai Yu at the moment, which made Bai Bo difficult, Bai Yan and Bai Yu had never been to Luoyin, and they hadn't seen the crowds inside and outside Luoyin City, but he Bai Bo had seen it with his own eyes, and he knew the amount of money behind it best.
Therefore, Bai Bo is really worried that Bai Yan will not be able to come to power in the future, and he will lose his prestige in Luoyin when the time comes!
"Bai Yan is clear! However, this matter is not suitable for opening up at this time! When Bai Yan heard Bai Bo's words, he raised his hand and saluted Bai Bo to apologize.
As for why he had to pay, Bai Yan didn't plan to say it now, before Bai Yan thought that Bai Bo might wake up when he saw the crowded scene in Luoyin City.
But later Bai Yan learned that Bai Bo was still limited by the times after all, or in other words, not only Bai Bo, but the vast majority of people in the world, their thoughts were limited.
Many people only see the benefits that can be seen in front of them, and they cannot see the layout of the deeper roots. Just as he told Tian Feiyan that day, how much is it for a person to take a boat, if you simply look at the money for a boat, it is not much in a year, and the real big head is still eating, drinking, living and playing.
Different from ordinary people, as a businessman, the most important thing is money, but the one who cares about interests the most, likes to take advantage of the most, and is also a businessman, so as long as the vast majority of businessmen in the world come to Luoyin City, then the profit behind it is enough to make people's scalp tingle, and most importantly, it can also make the people of Luoyin all profit from the businessmen.
Bai Yan thought that Bai Bo should understand this truth at first, but he didn't realize it until later, Bai Bo's vision pattern was limited by the times after all, and he didn't understand it.
Maybe it is still necessary to wait until there are enough people, and wait until the daily income of those shops startles Bai Ping, maybe Bai Bo may understand, and then he reacts ignorantly.
As for the present. Bai Yan wants to know as few people as possible, or the later the better. Inside the study.
Whether it was Bai Bo, Bai Yan, or Bai Yu, looking at Bai Yan, who didn't enter the oil and salt, and didn't listen to persuasion or speak, they all looked at each other helplessly and sighed.
"By the way, during this time, someone mentioned the matter of Great-Ancestor Baiqi, and now in the city, it is rumored everywhere that after you drank Baiyan, you had a bold statement, and you will definitely live up to Great-Ancestor Baiqi's mistakes!" Bai Yu thought of something, and suddenly said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yu was not worried about this matter at all, not mentioning the fact that Bai Yan, a kid, sacrificed his life to protect the king, even if there was no assassination by the envoys of Yan State, when the king heard these rumors, he knew that someone was secretly framing and slandering this kid.
After all, that sentence could only be said from the position of the Bai family, and Bai Yan, this kid, is not a child of the Bai family at all.
Come to think of it. Bai Yuyou looked at Bai Yan with some depression. Speaking of which, at the moment, even everyone in the Bai family still can't figure out where Bai Yan's kid comes from!
"If Bai Yan's guess is correct, it should be an envoy of the Qi State!" Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words, thought about it, and said.
To tell the truth, if Bai Yan is really a child of the Bai family, Tian Ding's hand alone is enough to scare Bai Yan out of a cold sweat, it is estimated that when he sees Yingzheng in the future, he will be unstable, and the best result under his concern is to resign and go into hiding, and in the future, it will not include other forces looking for opportunities to frame him.
But he, like Tian Ding, is also from the Qi State, and Mao Jiao has also been to the Qi State to see his family, and even went to visit his grandmother.
Come to think of it. Bai Yan was a little melancholy, and turned his head to look at Bai Yu.
"Envoy of Qi State? Tian Ding!! Bai Yu listened to Bai Yan's words and was talking to himself, when he suddenly saw Bai Yan's gaze.
"Uncle, what can the right prime minister do during this time?" After Bai Yan saw that there were no outsiders around, he looked at Bai Yu and asked.
Qin State attacked Yan, Tian Ding was 'invited' to Xianyang again, Wei State has no strength, and now the most important thing to pay attention to is Chu State, and it is necessary to take extra precautions against Changping Jun, who has a blood feud with the Bai family.
"Yes! Speaking of which, during this period of time, there were frequent visits in the Changping Jun's mansion! According to the news from the State of Chu, I heard that the King of Chu can no longer hold on, and it will only be a month and a half at most! If there is no accident, once the king of Chu dies violently, the person who sent the envoy to the state of Chu is likely to be Changping Jun! Bai Yu mentioned the matter of Changping Jun, and the whole person became serious.
After all, it was Changpingjun who almost killed him in the first place, and it was Changpingjun who was behind the scenes, wanting to destroy the entire Bai clan at any time.
"King Chu?" When Bai Yan heard the news that the King of Chu couldn't hold on, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that in this year, not only the King of Chu, but also the King of Wei, would all die of illness in this year, and the new monarch of Wei was the previous son Wei Jiao, who regarded the dog as his life and made a feud for killing his beloved dog.
Suddenly. Bai Yan noticed that Bai Yu's eyes were very strange, this was the first time he had seen him. In an instant, Bai Yan thought of a possibility.
"Uncle wants to arrange someone to assassinate him in Chu State?" Bai Yan asked softly. In a word, Bai Bo, Bai Junzhu, and Bai Yingxue were full of surprises, but Bai Yan did not show a surprised expression, obviously he already knew.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and nodded.
"It must not be so, his son has just been assassinated! Uncle arranged the assassination at this time, and he would definitely fall into the trap of Changping Jun! Bai Yan hurriedly shook his head and persuaded him.
In a word, Bai Yan and Bai Yu hurriedly looked at Bai Yan, very puzzled. Snare?
"There will be someone to assassinate the Bai clan on this trip! Uncle doesn't believe it and look! When Bai Yan said this, he looked at Bai Yu's eyes, full of meaning.
This made Bai Yan and Bai Yu wonder why, they glanced at each other, and then looked at Bai Yan very suspiciously.
......... Day 2. With dawn, Bai Yan and Bai Yu put on their official uniforms early and rode a carriage to the palace gate of Xianyang Palace.
And when he came to the gate of the palace and stepped out of the carriage, Bai Yan noticed that there were not many officials in front of the palace gate, and one was counted as one, and they all looked at him.
Bai Yu, who walked off the carriage with Bai Yan, naturally saw this scene, sighed helplessly in his heart, turned his head to look at Bai Yan beside him angrily, and then shook his head, as if he didn't see those eyes, he stepped out of the carriage by himself.
Soon. Bai Yan stood beside Bai Yu, waiting for the palace gate to open and enter the court, and more and more officials also came to the palace gate in carriages.
Meng Yu, Wei Yu, Changping Jun, Wang Juan, Kui Xiang, Li Si and other bigwigs appeared one after another, and almost without exception, no matter who it was, when they saw Bai Yan, they all showed strange expressions.
When Hu Lao and Mao Jiao arrived, the two were also a little surprised to see Bai Yan. Then, under the gaze of the civil and military officials, Hu Lao and Mao Jiao got out of the carriage, and after the carriage left, they walked directly towards Bai Yan.
