Section 30 The son of a wealthy merchant

In the two months after Yusheng left, Bai Zhengbo had no idle time, helping to find the whereabouts of Miss Lingchen, and on the other hand, looking for various connections to inquire about the whereabouts of Venerable Qilin, but after more than two months, both of them were as silent as a stone sinking into the sea, which made Bai Zhengbo feel powerless and afraid for the second time in his life. Especially for Yusheng, that day, Yusheng was broken by the Qilin King and the pipa bone was abolished, and his whole body was taken away with blood, but he couldn't even move, he wanted to tell the Qilin King that Yusheng might be the poor child, the real young master of Zixiao Palace, but at that time, he couldn't even make a sound, and he also blamed his wife for why he didn't stop the Qilin Venerable at that time and tell him the truth, but his wife said that she was also scared stupid, and didn't think about it at all, of course, He was also worried about one thing, that is, whether the Qilin King was still the original Qilin Venerable.

Not only that, the ghost Lixiao also sent a female corpse that had already decomposed half a month ago, saying that it was Master Li's Miss Lingchen, Bai Zhengbo and Qiu Chan felt that it was not Lingchen, but Master Li admitted it, and held a beautiful funeral for his "daughter", and at the same time, he also posted notices everywhere saying that he was retaliated by the bandits because he vigorously fought against the bandits, and his daughter was unfortunately martyred, etc., Qiu Chan was angry, but what can be done? In addition to these, his daughter Bai Qingqing seems to have suddenly fallen in love with a noble son from the palace, whose surname is Jia and his name is benevolent. Bai Zhengbo has no good impression of this Jia Gongzi, although this Gongzi is still handsome, but he always looks so frivolous and prodigal between his eyebrows, except for a day of sweet words around Bai Qingqing, it is really useless. Bai Zhengbo has explained to his daughter many times that he doesn't like Jia Renshan, but Bai Qingqing doesn't think so, and always breaks up unhappily.

On this day, Bai Zhengbo and his wife were rushing to the county government, because today the officials informed them that they had found a male corpse in a small river ten miles east of the city, and they couldn't identify it but suspected that it might be Yusheng. Bai Zhengbo's mood was very heavy, although he kept praying in his heart that it was not Yusheng who was lying in the cold corpse, but the anxiety was written all over his face, and the whole person looked cold and abnormal, so that even Liu Zhihui beside him couldn't help frowning. When the husband and wife were just about to walk to the county office, they suddenly saw Bai Qingqing rushing down from the drunken fairy building behind them, grabbed the couple and dragged them to the restaurant, and shouted in their mouths: "Go, daddy, go up together."

How could Bai Zhengbo be in a mood at this time to eat and drink, without saying a word, he broke his daughter's hand and said angrily: "Qing'er, aren't you worried about your senior brother at all?" ”

Being scolded by Bai Zhengbo like this, Bai Qingqing was stunned for a while, and then said very unhappily: "Qingqing is also worried, but I am worried that I have to eat......"

Bai Zhengbo snorted coldly and said, "You only have that Jia Renshan in your heart now, will you still think of your senior brother?" ”

"Why is it so kind to let you go to dinner and have to do with this?" Bai Qingqing pouted as soon as she heard this, stomped her foot and shouted.

Mrs. Bai looked at her husband and her daughter helplessly, so she had to say softly: "Husband, it's better to eat first and then recognize it, to be honest, I'm also hungry ......."

When Bai Qingqing heard this, she was overjoyed, and she was busy pulling her mother to the restaurant, while Bai Zhengbo stood straight in place, looking at his daughter hatefully. At this moment, the window of the private room on the top floor of the restaurant was opened, and a person leaned out and said: "Brother Bai, if you don't come up at this time, when will you stay, the official is here to handle official business, and Brother Tai will be reluctant to make it difficult." ”

Bai Zhengbo saw that it was the county government master Li who came out, and he was even more dissatisfied with Bai Qingqing. Seeing that even the county lord had spoken, Mrs. Bai and Bai Qingqing had no choice but to put Bai Zhengbo to the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, and after sitting down, the county lord took the initiative to introduce the guests of today's banquet. First of all, it is Chen Tingzhi, the son of Chen Xiao, the richest man in Lingcheng, followed by Jia Renshan, the noble son of the prefect, and then Bai Zhengbo's family.

Bai Zhengbo sat opposite Chen Tingzhi, and suddenly had a feeling of familiarity and strangeness towards this rich son. I saw that this son's face was like a crown of jade and Pan An was incomparable, he had extraordinary knowledge between talking and laughing, and he gave people a clear and righteous temperament between his eyebrows, which was really a rare beauty in the world, and even Master Li frequently praised it. Bai Qingqing at today's dinner table was particularly active, she was obviously not satisfied with Master Li's simple introduction, so she began to introduce in detail how famous her father and mother were in the rivers and lakes, how many righteous things she had done, how she was admired by others, what kind of good education she had received since she was a child, and what her talents were, etc.

When she heard Bai Qingqing say that the people killed by Bai Zhengbo and his wife were all traitors and evil people, Chen Tingzhi's face couldn't help but sink slightly, and the fierceness that flashed in his eyes was just seen by Mrs. Bai, such a look couldn't help but make her tremble, but when she looked back, she saw that this Chen Gongzi was talking with Bai Qingqing with great interest about interesting things when he was a child. Bai Zhengbo, who was beside him, looked extremely helpless as soon as Bai Qingqing spoke, and kept sighing and shaking his head, at this time, Bai Zhengbo's heart was miserable, and he kept asking himself why he didn't find out that his daughter was so stupid and vain.

And Jia Renshan, who was dining together, looked at Chen Tingzhi who was talking with Bai Qingqing with a strange expression, although the corners of his mouth were always full of smiles, but the jealousy and hatred in his eyes were several times stronger than that of Red Snake. In addition, the county lord was not too satisfied with Bai Qingqing's performance, this was obviously not giving him face in public, it seemed that among the people who ate here, he Bai Zhengbo and his wife were the most famous and capable.

So, Master Li said gloomily: "Miss Bai is really eloquent, as soon as she speaks, I don't have to say anything later, hahahaha."

Hearing this, Bai Zhengbo rushed before Bai Qingqing and said: "Master Li, don't praise this ignorant little girl anymore, Bai is already extremely ashamed."

When Bai Qingqing heard that her father not only did not praise herself, but also said that she was "ignorant" after being praised by others, she immediately pouted and said, "Dad, what's wrong with my daughter, is it?" Chen Gongzi? As soon as the conversation changed, he suddenly asked Chen Tingzhi.

At this time, this Chen Gongzi smiled slightly, gently shook the white jade folding fan in his hand, and said: "The white girl is in her prime, smart and clever, and it is not an exaggeration to be active."

Hearing this, although Master Li was still not very comfortable in his heart, he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Brother Bai should not be too demanding, Miss Bai is already good."

Jia Renshan was also busy saying: "Uncle, Qingqing is very cute, don't talk about her" After speaking, he didn't forget to fly a wink to Bai Qingqing, but Bai Qingqing didn't see anything at this time, just looked straight at Chen Gongzi with his eyes. Chen Tingzhi's words undoubtedly helped Bai Zhengbo relieve the siege, Bai Zhengbo nodded slightly to Chen Tingzhi to thank him, and Chen Tingzhi also smiled back. The most talked about at the subsequent dinner table was about the future business development of the Chen family, and it could be seen that Master Li and Jia Renshan were very interested in this, so after the small banquet, the three of them had a preliminary intention, and then they needed to talk in detail, according to the agreement, it would be four days later, because Chen Tingzhi also needed to go to a neighboring county.

As soon as the dinner was over, Chen Tingzhi left the Zuixian Building first accompanied by his entourage and guards, while Master Li went back to the county government to deal with the next "official business", Bai Zhengbo and his wife rushed to the morgue of the county office, Bai Qingqing and Jia Renshan didn't know where to go for a while, plus they had promised their parents to identify the corpse together, so they went with their parents, and Jia Renshan also cheekily followed to the morgue together.

When Bai Zhengbo's family walked out of the Drunken Immortal Building, they didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes looking at them in the alley diagonally opposite. I heard one person say: "Young master, why don't you just rob them and ask them to understand?" ”

But the person in front of him said coldly: "Don't make a mistake, you go back first, and make the illusion that you will go to Sanjiang County tomorrow."

The people behind listened and said respectfully: "Young master, be more careful" After speaking, seven or eight people disappeared into the alley in a flash. The person who stayed behind was Tuoba Hongxuan, who came back from the Medicine Valley, the former Yusheng, and the impostor Chen Tingzhi. The so-called richest man in Lingcheng, Chen Xiao, is actually a messenger of good fortune under the throne of Qilin, and he is also an extremely loyal and intelligent person. When the new Zixiao Palace Lord bloodbathed the former loyal servants, Chen Xiao saw through many things early, so he automatically offered a large amount of gold and silver to show his loyalty, and secretly helped the Qilin King collect all kinds of clues and cultivate the dead in the secret. When Tuoba Hongxuan came to Chen Xiao with the disc card in the hand of the Qilin King, Chen Xiao actually held a banquet and lied that his son Chen Tingzhi, who had been bedridden for many years, had recovered greatly, and frequently took Tuoba Hongxuan to attend various occasions, in order to help the young master establish enough contacts and information sources as soon as possible, and his real son Chen Tingzhi was actually still lying on the hospital bed and could not move.
