Chapter 37: Extraneous Branches

Xin Twelve saw that the officials stopped Xue Bai at the door of the government office, and subconsciously turned around and walked to the back door.

It wasn't until he heard someone say, "Gifacio has gone to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion", that he reacted and hurriedly went to lead the horse.

These actions were only in an instant, but a shout and a question was heard from inside the government office.

"Xin Twelve, what are you hiding from me when you see me?"

"What are you doing?" Xin Twelve was stunned at first, and then responded: "I have an urgent matter to report to Ah Lang." ”

He turned over and got on his horse and drove away, the secret path was too sudden, what if he bumped into it? Are you afraid that a dying person will not succeed?

"You keep stopping him."

Xin Twenty said goodbye and rode away.

Xue Bai was still stopped in the yamen.

Ji Wen had obviously told him, so even the Kyauknu could not reassure those officials by taking out the token of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Originally, Xue Bai could stay at ease, but at this time, he already had some bad premonitions.

He turned around and was about to walk into the palace, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was Du Yan wearing a robe.

"Xue Bai!"

"Who trespassed on Jingzhao Mansion and immediately curfew, don't you know? Go! ”

The officials shouted, drove Du Yan away with their staffs, and began to close the door to the sound of twilight drums.

"Xue Bai, something happened!"

"Wait for me."

Du Yan watched the door of Jingzhao Mansion slowly close, and the twilight drum was still urging, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, she saw the two doors slowly open again, and an old man in a purple official robe took Xue Bai and the others out of the government office.

She hurriedly greeted her, saluted, and said, "I've seen Han Gong." ”

Jingzhao Yin Han Chaozong sighed, shook his head, and walked directly past the reins of the horse brought by the servant.

"Say it here."

Xue Bai hurriedly walked past Du Yan and hurried to the direction of Fangmen, and at the same time quickly said: "I told Han Jingyin that Ji Wen was going to persecute Zhongliang, so he promised to take me out. ”

He actually met Han Chaozong alone, and took out the jade pendant given by Du Hope, and said that he was not simply doing things for Li Linfu.

In addition, he only confirmed today that Han Chaozong and Yan Zhenqing were actually not from the East Palace family, but they acted mostly out of public intentions, so they often stood opposite Li Linfu. Presumably, many people are regarded as close to the East Palace.

It's a pity that Fang Cai Han Chaozong claimed that he had been impeached by Yushitai for a major crime, and it was estimated that he would soon be demoted, and his prestige in Jingzhao Mansion was even inferior to Ji Wen, but he still relied on an old face and some favors to reluctantly bring out Xue Bai.

And if Xue Bai didn't leave a hand, if he really regarded himself as a celebrity in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't know how long he would be trapped today.

At this time, Du Yan didn't care about this, and said anxiously: "Something happened, the eldest sister went to the East City to see Nuyalang today, and happened to meet Ji Wen's son and domestic servants, but for some reason they actually captured the eldest sister." ”

"What's going on?"

"At that time, Quanfu was driving the carriage, waiting outside the house with Qinglan, and saw that the carriage of the Ji family arrived later, after those people entered, Qinglan felt that something was wrong, and followed up, just when they caught the eldest sister, and also held the slave Yalang, she hurried back to report me, and Quanfu followed."

Although Du Yan was anxious, she still had rules and regulations when she spoke, and at the end, she analyzed: "Dare to kidnap the daughter of the Du family of Jingzhao in broad daylight, this matter is not simple." ”

Xue Bai said: "You mean ......?"

The two turned their heads to look and saw Kyauknu and the Tian family brothers following behind them, and said in unison: "Liu Tao's case." ”

"Kyauknu." Xue Bai instructed: "Ji Wen wants to rob us of the credit, you hurry back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, stop Xin Twelve, and don't let him see Ji Wen." Also, tell the right minister that the veterans of Longyou are strong, and they can send someone to take Jiang Mao as a hostage and force them to throw themselves into a rat trap. ”

Kyauk Nu asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

Xue Bai said: "The case has been clarified, only the last report is to the right minister, you go." I've been saved, big sister, do you think I still have the heart to do anything else? ”

Kyauknu's mind is very messy.

There are so many things that have happened in recent days that she can't see them all, so she can't understand them all.

But this time the credit is extremely important to her, whether she can get out of the lowly status is in this move, so she gritted her teeth and turned over the horse.

"Give me the token of the right phase." Xue Bai suddenly stretched out his hand, and his tone was incomprehensible.

Kyauknu tugged at the reins, still hesitating.

"Quick."

Xue Bai drank again, and finally, a wooden card was handed to him, the wood was small leaf red sandalwood, it was very heavy to start, the carving was exquisite, and it was engraved with the scenery of Yanyue Hall.

"This is not an official fish talisman, only Ah Lang's henchmen recognize it." Kyauknu said a word and hurriedly ran in the direction of the right minister's mansion.

Xue Bai turned his head and asked Tian Shengong again, "Did you bring the paperwork for the curfew?" ”

"Brought it."

"Let's say something."

Xue Bai pulled Du Yan into the alley.

The two glanced at the Tian brothers guarding the alley, got closer, and said in unison.

"You're in trouble."

"I have a problem with my background."

They all knew very well that the Ji family had arrested Du Cheng because of the Liu Tao case.

The most feared thing still happened, Xue Bai's family was likely to be persecuted by Li Linfu.

They have analyzed that if a noble son has the imprint of an official slave on his body, it is likely that he was copied, and over the years, Li Linfu has really copied too many people.

I thought it wouldn't be so coincidental, but when I thought about it at this time, I found that this result originally had a very high probability.

Thinking about it again, Li Linfu wants to be quiet when he goes out, just because he knows that the enemy is very wide, how could he not think of this? Therefore, while promising to recruit Xue Bai as his son-in-law and inducing him to bite the East Palace, he ordered Ji Wen to visit him, in case he was really an enemy.

"Sure enough, the rope is unreliable."

Du Yan used the word "also", although she knew this, she was still a little desperate.

It is clearly the prosperity of Tianbao, but she doesn't know why she fell into this desperate situation, and she was forced to the point of ruining her family again and again. If someone had told her this a month ago, she wouldn't have believed it.

"Don't panic." Xue Bai said: "We haven't reached the last step yet, let's take a look." ”

"Well, pluck."

"As I said last night, the East Palace is unreliable, and we have to rely on Li Linfu for the time being."

"But if we only rely on Li Linfu, we will die sooner or later, sure enough, we are right."

One of the two was buried alive and the other was abandoned, and they had already reached a consensus that they must no longer trust the East Palace. But they also gradually saw that it was difficult to abolish Li Heng at this stage.

The difficulty is that Li Heng only needs to abandon his son every time to make the saint think that he is weak and will not abandon him. Unless Li Heng is confused, he personally leads troops into the palace like Li Ying, the prince who was killed before.

But before Li Heng was confused, these little people would have been finished a long time ago.

Because Li Linfu is also unreliable, compared to Li Heng who abandoned the people around him out of helplessness, Li Linfu is more ruthless and ruthless.

For example, Xue Bai found out that the dead man in the East Palace was in Wang Weld's house, and it seemed that as long as he handed over the evidence to Li Linfu, he could complete an errand and become the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But if he did, he would die worse than if he were buried alive.

Why did the East Palace hide the Longyou veterans in the other house of the Wang Gong brothers?

Donggong had already thought about it, Wang Fei squeezed money from the family of the border army, and once someone put Wang Ji and the border army together, it would inevitably lead to this case.

Once tried, as long as one of the Longyou veterans said, "I sold myself to Wang Jian to avenge my brother, because Wang Ji killed my brother's family for greedy ink!" ”

So, you have to ask where is the money?

In the hands of the saints.

Who is so bold to slander the saint and try to rebel?

At that time, Xue Bai will be the first to be cut by a thousand knives, and it was ordered by Li Linfu.

Even if there is no such a confession from the veteran of Longyou, whether he can bring down the prince and dare to check the Wang family's house, Wang Ji still will not let Xue Bai go.

Therefore, if Xue Bai dares to investigate, he must die. But if you don't investigate, the reason why Xue Bai can persuade Li Linfu to let the Du family go is that the condition is to help bring down the prince, if you can't do it now, how can you live? How could Jiwen allow someone to save the Du family from his torture?

There are dead ends on all sides, and there is only one way, which is called "check and don't check".

Xue Bai pointed out the truth in front of Li Linfu, this is an investigation, and at the same time find someone to come out with a bad thing, this is not an investigation.

In this way, Li Linfu couldn't blame him and the Du family, and framed Ji Wen again, so that he would not be able to persecute them again.

Also, since the result is not checked, it is exactly what the East Palace wants, and the benefits given by the East Palace must be accounted for. borrowed the hand of the East Palace to determine Xue Bai's life experience and the future of the Du family, so as not to have no way out when Li Linfu was unreliable.

To sum it up, the East Palace wanted to abandon them, so they took advantage of the right Prime Minister's Mansion to force the East Palace to protect each other. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion wanted them to die with the East Palace, so they asked the eagle dog of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to sabotage the matter and let the eagle dog come out.

Last night, Xue Bai and the Du family sisters and brothers clarified this idea before formulating the next series of plans.

"I have already told Uncle Taigong today, he will relay our conditions to the East Palace, and in the afternoon he sent someone to say that the East Palace has agreed, and you have received half a jade pendant from Goro?"

"Roger. I also made a decision with the people in the East Palace that I would lead the search and help them transfer. In the afternoon, I went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to remind Li Linfu that the dead man in the East Palace might be hiding in Wang Weld's mansion or Yang Shenjin. ”

"All of this is going well?"

"Hmm."

Xue Bai closed his eyes and recalled the experience of this day.

He saw Li Linfu early in the morning, went to Daozheng Fang in the morning to investigate and knock on the mountain and shook the tiger, waited for Du Wulang to meet at the Qingmen Restaurant at noon, and then saw the dark line of the East Palace, secretly reported to Li Linfu in the afternoon, and then rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to interrogate Wu Kangcheng.

Ji Wen met Li Linfu in the morning, went to arrest Wu Kangcheng in the morning, and stayed in Jingzhao Mansion since then. When I rushed to the right minister's mansion in the evening, I could be sure that I had not seen Xin XII.

As for the East Palace, he was probably going to abandon his son again, but he agreed to his conditions in the morning, and after the two sides discussed at the Qingmen Wine Shop after noon, they should have prepared to transfer tonight......

"The whole program went well."

Du Yan said: "In other words, the eldest sister's matter has nothing to do with the plan?" ”

"It should only be related to my background."

Du Yan said: "There is still a possibility, Ji Wen ordered someone to find Nu Yalang to fake your life experience, and collided with the eldest sister?" ”

"It's all the same."

Xue Bai was also a little anxious, after agreeing with their sisters last night to accept the identity of Xue Ling's son, Du Cheng said that she had clues to check his life experience, and it was better to confirm it as soon as possible, in case she could find it, as long as it was a portal that did not cause trouble, she could also have multiple choices; If there is a grudge with the right prime minister's house, you can also erase the traces; Of course, it is more likely that he got nothing, at least let him do his best before recognizing others as his father.

She helped him so much, but something happened because of it.

Xue Bai took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "That Nuyalang is in Dongshi?" ”

"Yes."

"When was the eldest sister taken captive?"

"Noon." Du Yan said: "I only got the news in the afternoon, I went to find Uncle Taigong first, and then returned to Du's house to see that the eldest sister had not returned yet, so I hurried to find you." Also, Gorou didn't come back either, where did he go? ”

"I don't know." Xue Bai said, "We need to know where the eldest sister is being held, you just said, who else did you meet besides Xin Twelve?" ”

"Auspicious, son of Giwen."

"Let's go."

"Do you know where to go?"

"Ji Wen's family is in Guangde Mansion, very close to Jingzhao Mansion. And if he wants to see the right minister, go to Dongshi, and go to Qingmen to drink, there must be another house in that area. ”

"Where?"

"Check."

Xue Bai's face was grim, and he had already taken a few steps as he spoke.

He walked straight up to the Tian brothers and asked, "I am running errands with Ji Wen under the Right Minister's Sect. Do you believe me, or do you him? ”

"Of course, I believe in Lang-kun!" Tian Shenyu did not hesitate.

Tian Shengong's face became solemn.

He was born in poverty, and he was used to seeing the cold eyes of powerful people in his life, and recently he saw Xue Bai treating him kindly, and he was even more resourceful, and he had the intention to follow Xue Bai for a future.

With a fist, Tian Shengong said: "Xinlangjun." ”

"Good. Givin framed us in order to fight with us. If you want to make a future, how about you fight with me tonight? ”

"It's all up to Lang Jun's arrangement!"

"Boom."

The last twilight drum sounded, and Chang'an fell into a curfew again.

The four men, without torches, led their horses and drove them into the darkness.
