A table of banquets was changed from the old gentleman's courtyard to the prefect's yamen.

The prefect of Hangzhou personally accompanied him, and all the officials of Hangzhou came to pay their respects.

However, Bai Song was not interested in facing a table of banquets at the moment.

The city of Hangzhou now seems to be more chaotic than Yangzhou.

This is not something that can be solved by simply suppressing bandits, but the people have different hearts, questioning and accusing each other, because of the death of the old gentleman, the contradiction has exploded.

Some of the literati outside said that the old gentleman was innocent of his death, and even his death could not make up for his discredit to the literati in Hangzhou.

Some people began to sympathize with the old gentleman and accuse those people of forcing the old gentleman to death.

As for Bai Song, the few Qincha who came from the capital, the literati spared no effort to insult them.

Moreover, the Jiangnan scribes are really not afraid of death, and they don't care about the attitude of the court at all, and they have the posture of burning jade.

Bai Song originally came for the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he did not expect to set off a cultural storm in Hangzhou under the coincidence.

The situation in the outside world made it difficult for the prefect to do so, and when he came to Hangzhou, he saw such a chaotic scene, and the imperial court must have determined that the local officials were derelict in their duties, and if they did not try to remedy it, they were afraid that the black gauze hat on their heads would not be able to keep it.

"Lord Bai, do you want to arrest the people who are making trouble outside? It's too unseemly to be so outrageous. The prefect poured Bai Song a glass of wine and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice.

Bai Song waved his hand: "No need." ”

"Lord Bai, it was the dereliction of duty of the subordinate officials that caused such a bad thing to happen in the city, and it will ...... in the future."

Bai Song raised his hand to interrupt, and the prefect's heart sank, and he said that he didn't even give himself a chance?

"I'm not here to care about your folk literati, I'll issue an official document starting tomorrow, saying that the imperial court will be edicted, and let all the Jianghu forces around Hangzhou come to serve, with a period of one month, if they come to serve the court within a month, no matter what they have done before, the court will not be guilty of the past. However, if they do not accept the imperial court's edict within a month, all sects will be recognized as rebels, and the imperial court will directly send troops to encircle and suppress them. ”

While listening, the prefect nodded, and quickly replied: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower official will go to pass the word immediately." ”

Bai Song looked at the banquet table in front of him again, he didn't have much appetite, and threw away his chopsticks: "I'll go back and rest first." ”

The prefect prepared the best annex for Bai Song to live in.

There are water pavilions in the annex, showing the style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the small courtyard is very poetic, even foreign women like Kumi who do not understand poetry are attracted by the scenery of the small courtyard.

Bai Song was in no mood at all, and when he arrived at the room, he fell asleep.

Tian Ruoyun followed Bai Song all the way, and for the first time he saw Bai Song so depressed, he was inexplicably unhappy.

Tian Ruoyun sent a bowl of porridge: "The death of the old gentleman is not a public fault, so there is no need to be so worried." ”

Bai Song lay on the bed and did not respond.

Tian Ruoyun continued: "Xianggong get up and eat something, I haven't eaten today." ”

At this time, Jiumei's voice came from outside the house: "Someone in Hangzhou City deliberately provoked it, so that the literati are so indignant. ”

Hearing this, Bai Song immediately got up, walked outside, stared at Jiumi and asked, "Where did you get the news?" ”

"I met a person on the street, and it was my old department where my ninja sect had been missing for many years."

"What?"

Can Hangzhou still meet Dongying people?

"That person was originally a reninja sect, and when she bumped into her on the road today, she thought I was a ninja sect to hunt her down. In the end, she was the first to do it, but she had been using force with others for a long time, and her body skills were much worse, and she was already captured by me in the courtyard. ”

"Oh? Take me to see it. ”

In the backyard of the annex, a peasant woman is tied under a tree.

When Bai Song and Kumi arrived, the peasant woman struggled a few times.

"Don't be nervous, we have nothing to do with the Ninja Sect or the East Emperor Pavilion, on the contrary, we are still mortal enemies with the East Emperor Pavilion, if your identity is true, we are still friends." Bai Song said kindly.

The woman looked at Bai Song: "If what you said is true, let me go back." ”

"Just a few words, and I'll let you go."

Bai Song said it, and then glanced at Jiumei.

Kumi stepped forward and untied the woman.

Bai Song asked: "You say that the literati in Hangzhou are so angry because someone secretly instigated it?" ”

"Yes!" The woman said firmly.

"How do you know?"

"I'm Dongying Rebel, I fled to Hangzhou a few years ago, and I just want to live a peaceful life. However, I know that my identity is special, so I live every day with fear, and I have to investigate every day. Just a few months ago, some people in Hangzhou deliberately stirred up trouble with Tang history, and the people gradually accumulated complaints, so that today's situation is possible. ”

"Meaning you stumbled upon it?"

"Yes."

"Who the hell is spreading rumors?"

"Looks like a young boy."

"Young boy?"

Bai Song chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that this young boy would not be his son Bai An, right?

To stir up public resentment with the power of one person is not something that ordinary people can do.

Xiao Bai'an has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child, and he has never been afraid, and he often goes to the palace, and has heard a lot of palace secrets.

The key is that Xiao Bai'an left Chang'an for Hangzhou a few months ago.

The other party does not say that it is a young son, but a young son, no matter how you think about it, it will be the most suitable for Bai An.

And there is only one person, not a group.

When Bai Song thought about it, he felt more and more inappropriate.

Bai Song hurriedly asked the little boy's appearance and age, but when the other party heard the voice, he didn't see it all, where did he know the specifics?

There was no way, Bai Song could only send the woman away.

Then he hurriedly mentioned the matter of finding Bai An in the first place.

The bastard doesn't know how high the sky is, and if he creates this chaos, it will be a great sin.

"Call the prefect."

Bai Song sent a message to the family of the other garden.

The family immediately went to do it, and within half an hour, the prefect arrived.

"Lord Bai, is there anything urgent about summoning the lower officials in such a hurry?"

"You immediately go and check, is there a five or six-year-old boy among the young teenagers who have come to Hangzhou City today in recent months? Features...... It's the kind of person who is small and big, and looks particularly mature, and summarizes all the information as quickly as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The prefect had never seen Bai Song so nervous, so he hurriedly did as he was told.

I thought that this matter would be very troublesome, after all, there are so many people in Hangzhou, if you want to find Bai An, wouldn't you be looking for a needle in a haystack?

But early the next morning, the prefect sorted out the news and found Bai Song.

In one night, the prefect learned that four months ago, a five or six-year-old boy really came to Hangzhou City, and there was a lot of trouble, so he found out after checking.
