When the prince arrived at Changqing Lane, he recognized the Bai family without needing the guards to guide the way, because there were two official servants standing in front of the Bai family.
The prince reined in the horse, jumped off the horse and raised his chin to look at them.
Obviously, the two officials had never seen the prince, they clenched the sabers in their hands, and looked at him warily, but seeing his awe-inspiring demeanor, they didn't dare to move for a while.
The guard quickly caught up from behind, took out the iron plate and said, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The two officials were surprised and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
The prince waved his hand, glanced at the wall, frowned and said, "There are assassins?"
The two officials replied anxiously: "I haven't seen any yet, but Mr. Xu said that he is not afraid of 10,000 but just in case, so let me wait and watch."
The prince nodded, raised his chin and said, "Knock on the door."
The official was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and immediately turned around and knocked on the door, but in fact he pushed the door open.
Because they were guarding the door, the door of Bai’s house was ajar. As soon as they pushed it open, the servants inside poked their heads out with a smile and asked, “Brothers, are you thirsty or hungry? Have a snack…”
Probe out to see the prince and the guards behind him, the servant immediately stood up straight, looked at the stern prince, Nuonuo dared not speak.
The prince glanced at him, saw the door opened, and stepped in directly.
The two officials guarding the gate and the servants of the Bai family got along pretty well, mainly because they guarded here. In addition to taking money from the yamen, the Bai family would always give them a little hard work fee, so the two of them saw the prince entering Then he reminded him softly: "It's His Royal Highness..."
The servant was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he ran after him.
But the prince has long legs and walks fast, and he doesn't have the slightest sense of being in someone else's house. He feels that he has already asked someone to knock on the door. Since the door is opened, he is allowed to come in.
The Bai family's house is very square, once you enter, you enter first, and when you enter second, you enter second. There are many servants in the front yard, and the prince glanced at it before heading to the back yard.
The family servants who were resting or recuperating from their wounds glanced at the prince, saw a servant of their family chasing behind him, saw that his face was anxious but did not say to stop him, so they pretended to be a guest and continued to sit without moving.
The prince arrived at the backyard unimpeded in this way.
Man Bao and the three of them were greatly frightened. After taking their medicine last night, they slept until noon.
It's rare that Mrs. Liu and Mr. Zhuang didn't wake them up, and Zhou Wulang and the others purposely kept their footsteps light.
By the way, the old Zhou's family has already closed the restaurant, and they all moved back to live. There is no way, no one knows how many assassins the King of Yizhou has hidden in this capital, and it is only when people gather together that they can defend against the enemy.
Man Bao and the others woke up from starvation.
Because of being frightened and cold, and injured, both Bai Shan and Man Bao had a low-grade fever, but Bai Erlang, although he was also injured, only had nightmares and kicked a few times at night, so he didn't have a fever.
Man Bao prescribed medicine for himself and Bai Shan, and Bai Erlang volunteered to take the prescription and went to his pharmacy to pick up the medicine.
After eating and drinking the medicine, the three of them sat in the yard basking in the sun in a daze and talked by the way.
Wu Wulang sat next to Man Bao, handed her an account and said: "This is the bounty given out yesterday, a total of 420 gold, our family should have paid 210 gold, but in fact only six Ten gold, still owe one hundred and fifty gold."
Bai Shan on the side heard it and immediately said: "Brother Wu, you shouldn't have paid for this, don't say what you owe or not."
"That won't work," Wu Wulang insisted, "We even paid a rent for the house, and the money should be accounted for, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate in the future."
Man Bao nodded, patted his chest generously and said, "Don't worry, I have money."
Zhou Wulang nodded, "I know you are rich."
So he looked at her seriously.
Yesterday, when he heard that they had paid a lot of money to the chivalrous people who saw injustice in order to save themselves, Wu Wulang took out all the money they had earned from opening the restaurant for more than two months.
It's just over four hundred gold, the Bai family doesn't have much money, but they really don't have that much cash.
After all, who has nothing to do with putting more than four thousand taels of silver at home.
In the end, Mrs. Liu and Yinlou borrowed 1,500 taels of silver, which was enough.
Bai Shan pulled Manbao's sleeve and said in a low voice: "The root cause of this matter is my father, how can I ask you to pay for it? The matter of renting a house is different. This is what we want I study and live here, but what happened yesterday was because I wanted to avenge my father."
Man Bao said: "Don't I also want to avenge my parents? We sued together in the imperial court, and the king of Yizhou wanted to kill the two of us."
"But if it wasn't for my father, your parents wouldn't..."
"Could it be your father's fault too?" Man Bao interrupted him and said, "It's the king of Yizhou who did the evil, and your father is also a victim. How can you blame him? How can you put all the pressure on you and me?" What about Grandma Liu and Aunt Zheng?"
She said: "If you want to say that the money should come from the king of Yizhou, but can we ask him for money?"
Before Bai Shan could speak, Bai Erlang shook his head first.
"So let's split it equally. Alas, when we recover from our injuries, we still have to buy gifts for Feng Zongping and the others. After all, they were also injured because of us."
Bai Erlang said: "There is also me."
Bai Shan and Man Bao glanced at him angrily, and said, "They said they would live and die together, and even such a small injury asked us for a gift."
Mrs. Liu in the study endured the soreness of her nose, looked up at the sky outside the window, and suppressed the tears in her eyes.
Zheng Shi held her arm.
Mrs. Liu turned her head and smiled at her, then turned to look at Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang was making tea, when he noticed her gaze, he raised his head and smiled at her, "Madam, sit down and drink some tea?"
Mrs. Liu replied with a smile, and sat down opposite Mr. Zhuang.
And the three teenagers in the yard had already finished their quarrel, Man Bao regained his energy, got up and went back to the house to get the money.
She dragged the empty boxes out from under the bed, and took the money out of the system, she only kept some silver, most of the rest was taken out and piled in the boxes, and then the gold.
Because her head was a little dizzy, she didn't bother to count, guessing that it was almost enough, she closed the three boxes that were piled up in a mess, and then went out to ask the fifth and sixth brothers to come in and move the boxes out.
Wu Wulang was very surprised, "I needed money urgently yesterday, I came in to look for it, and the boxes under your bed are all empty."
Man Bao snorted and said proudly: "That's a trick to cover one's eyes. If you find it easily, is it still called hiding money?"
"Okay, what you say is what it is." Anyway, yesterday was too urgent, and he hadn't had time to look through the cabinet. It seems that most of the money is hidden in the cabinet, but can the cabinet hold so much money
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang moved the money out to count.
So when the prince walked into the backyard quickly, what he saw was seven or eight people squatting on the ground counting money, maybe they were tired, maybe they were injured, Bai Shan and Man Bao were sitting directly on a futon, picking up gold Set it aside.
