Chapter Seventy-Nine: Weighing Interests
Bai Yujing stared at this knife, if it weren't for the relationship with Bu Zhuohua, he only needed to draw the knife and stab it directly, and no one dared to come and ask him for the life of the person in front of him.
But he still didn't do this, and asked coldly: "I am a friend of the fourth head of your family, why am I treated like this here?" ”
When the people inside heard this, they said in a low voice: "Shanhaiguan City is thousands of miles long, and thousands of valleys are beautiful and far away. ”
Bai Yujing was stunned, didn't speak, and stood outside the door with a frown, unable to figure out what the people inside were saying.
After a while, the man inside said: "You are not a friend of the four heads of my family. ”
Bai Yujing seemed to have understood that this was some kind of code for them, so he said: "I don't want to spoil the harmony, if you don't believe it, please come out to see me." ”
The man inside: "Now the four masters are inside, please tell me why you came?" ”
Bai Yujing thought for a moment before he spoke, "Talk to the four masters of your family, Yuhang County, above the waterway, the little Buddha brews, and the big Buddha incense." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Bu Zhuohua ran out of it panting and red-faced, grabbed Bai Yujing's arm, dragged him in, and apologized repeatedly, "My lord, please forgive me, I have never told others about this matter, and I forgot to tell you when I was drinking...... I...... I didn't expect it either...... Ay! ”
He sighed and quickly fell to his knees.
At this time, Bai Yujing saw that there were more than 20 people standing behind him, all of them in plain clothes, and when he saw that his head was like this, he immediately knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Please forgive me." ”
Bai Yujing waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Then he went to support Bu Zhuohua, "What are you doing here?" Where is the reason to kneel to friends? ”
When Bu Zhuohua heard this, there was a heat in his chest, and he was even more attentive, leading Bai Yujing into the upper seat, bowing and bowing, and just about to speak, Bai Yujing grabbed his arm, "You and I sit together, we are friends, don't give me these officialdom etiquette, in private, you and I are good brothers." ”
At this moment, Bu Zhuohua was even more admiring in his heart, it was difficult for him to contact an embroidered cloth envoy, and now Bai Yujing, the red-clothed envoy, actually treated him like this, and immediately had the mood to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for him, and sat aside and said abruptly: "To have a friend like Lord Bai, Bu is willing to die." ”
Bai Yujing smiled on his face, but he still scoffed at this kind of saying that if he didn't understand it, he would die, and said in his heart: "These people in the rivers and lakes don't know if they can really say and do it, but it just sounds quite comfortable." ”
He swept around the room and asked, "Miss Qin isn't there?" ”
Bu Zhuohua said in a low voice: "My lord, I won't tell you, I did a big deal a few days ago, and I was afraid that it would affect her, so I hid her and waited for the limelight to pass." ”
Bai Yujing hurriedly crossed his hand, "I don't have any curiosity, don't tell me if you shouldn't listen." ”
Bu Zhuohua breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Bai Yujing said: "I came to you to ask you something. ”
Bu Zhuohua said: "You say." ”
Bai Yujing said: "Do you know that there is a shipping business who brought a batch of goods from Fuyang to Lin'an a few days ago, but was arrested for selling illicit salt?" ”
Bu Zhuohua seemed to grasp a life-saving straw at this moment, and said continuously: "My lord! What I said...... That's exactly what happened! ”
Bai Yujing said: "Oh? What does this have to do with you? ”
Bu Zhuohua said: "My lord, this matter ......"
As if he had thought of something, he immediately retreated, and then continued: "I won't hide it with you, this matter is that the official family of Jiafu came to find me in person, and the purpose is to eradicate Feng Yuanwailang, and it just so happens that the shopkeeper of this shipping company has some holidays with us, so I will take him into the water." My lord, could it be that this matter has something to do with you? ”
Bai Yujing said: "Feng Yuanwailang? Jia Fu? ”
Bu Zhuohua said: "The one who lives in Jiafu is the current Zaifu, Jia Rucheng. ”
Bai Yujing smiled: "You have so much energy? ”
Bu Zhuohua sighed and said: "Lord Bai, don't you know, Jiafu is not a friend of us, let alone a friend of Shuilongzhai, but Shuilongzhai wants to live and die, it is all a matter of Jiafu's words, they handed it over to us, and most of them are the sins of killing heads, we may survive if we go, but if we don't go, we must die." ”
He shook his head, "If something happens, it's all our bosses who will take their lives to fill it." If we have something, Jia Fu will not help, they will leave it all involved. ”
I see.
Bai Yujing sneered in his heart, it seems that the water dragon village that is in full swing on the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River is just a toy in the eyes of Zai Fu.
And this toy can easily destroy other people's lives.
Bai Yujing asked, "What about Feng Yuanwailang?" ”
Bu Zhuohua lowered his voice to the lowest, "Do you remember the county order of Yuhang County, Feng Kaiyuan?" ”
Bai Yujing said: "Of course." ”
Bu Zhuohua said: "This Feng Yuan Wailang is Feng Xianling's younger brother, and he is also the only existing official in his family, because of this matter, now Feng Xian Ling and Feng Yuanwailang's family are all in prison." ”
Bai Yujing felt a stirring in his heart.
Is this what those officials do? The best way to silence these people completely is to kill people to prevent future troubles.
The caution with which they did things was completely beyond Bai Yujing's imagination.
In this way, it is not possible to do it in one sentence, and if you want to pull this willow shopkeeper out of it, I am afraid that you need other words.
Bu Zhuohua said: "My lord, are you here for Shopkeeper Liu?" ”
Bai Yujing smiled, "I'm not here for anyone, I just heard that there is such a case, and I will ask about it tomorrow, and I heard that it is related to you, I am worried that this will be cut too quickly, if it is asked from above, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to you, you and I are friends, so I naturally want to ask." ”
Bu Zhuohua's heart was churning, and he was about to kneel down and shout at his father and brother, and with the intention of drinking, he said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Bai, you have this intention, I Bu Zhuohua will not say other nonsense, if you have anything to do in the future, I and my brothers in Shuilongzhai will listen to your dispatch." ”
When Bai Yujing heard this Water Dragon Village, he suddenly had a new idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "You and I are friends, why do you want to say such things, is it possible that I can't find you to drink and listen to music if I have nothing to do?" ”
Bu Zhuohua said: "My lord, it is my honor for you to take me!" ”
Bai Yujing said again: "Hey? You're the only one here this time? The other three masters of Shuilongzhai did not come? ”
Bu Zhuohua lowered his head, "Don't hide what your lord said, now that my father has stepped down and returned to his hometown in Chenzhou, the position of the big boss is still vacant, and my two brothers and I ...... They are all eyeing this position. Now they are all busy with their own work. I told you that Shuilongzhai has two houses in Lin'an, and they are there. ”
Bai Yujing sighed, understood, and nodded lightly, "Hey, Brother Bu, do you know that you have been tricked." ”
Bu Zhuohua's face was full of shock, staring at Bai Yujing and said, "My lord, these words ...... Where to start? ”
Bai Yujing said: "Let me ask you, have you seen the main culprit, the accomplice, and even the outer lang of the seventh rank of the imperial court, who was beheaded in a hurry for ten days?" ”
Bu Zhuohua immediately said vigilantly: "There are very few. ”
Bai Yujing said: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems, Lin'an Mansion is now the princess of Lin'an Mansion as Yin of Lin'an Mansion, who is the judge below, we naturally speak for themselves, the power above the court is constantly disputed, Jia Zaifu is even more of a dragon and phoenix among people, extremely shrewd, you say...... How could they make such a big mess? If you let the official family know, a seven-grade foreigner will be beheaded in a hurry for ten days......"
Bu Zhuohua said: "What do you mean...... Will there be something going on tomorrow's execution? ”
Bai Yujing said: "I don't know how the execution will be tomorrow, but I'm afraid this matter will involve you, and Brother Bu may have to be buried with you." ”
Bu Zhuohua's face was full of fear, "Bai ...... White-sama! Lord Bai said...... Can...... Can ......"
He was speechless.
Bai Yujing said with a smile: "I can get rid of the tail of the Lingyin Temple, eradicate the Feng family, and then select the head of the Water Dragon Village for my own use, and then take advantage of the situation to attribute the case of this foreigner to a person...... Hey, the plan of killing three birds with one stone is really powerful. ”
Bu Zhuohua stood up, "My lord! Help me! ”
Bai Yujing waved his hand and said, "You are my friend, I will naturally help you, but this matter is ...... It is very difficult to revive the situation. ”
Bu Zhuohua said: "My lord, I ...... I can give you anything, please save my life, little ...... The small one is willing to look forward to the big one, and he will not hesitate to do so. ”
Bai Yujing said: "Does Qin Wen know about this matter?" ”
Bu Zhuohua's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Let her know immediately." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and ran out all the way.
He's going to call it himself.
Bai Yujing sat calmly on the chair, crossed his legs, and drank tea with a smile.
The wealth of Shuilongzhai is huge, but what is the use of him asking for so much silver? All you need is the silver of the shopkeeper Liu.
And Shuilongzhai can not only be used as a long-term meal ticket, but also as a backup for its own information storage and power structure, isn't it even better?
Fang Cai is just a guess on his part, in order to turn Zhuohua into an ant on a hot pot, and then control the extremely smart Qin Wen, so that the dominant power is not in anyone's hands, only in his hands.
What he wants, isn't it all at his fingertips?
People, they still have to be kind to themselves, and he doesn't bother to care about things that don't benefit him.
