Being robbed is called "life is good", and there are people who wish to be robbed or sold into slavery? What morals? !
Several outsiders were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they finally determined why no one came forward to speak up and help each other in the vicious incident of robbing people in the street just now... Everything is completely overturned!
Even the Zhenbei army, which is like a god in the heart, is mixed with black sheep who help the tyrants and abuse the common people. This world has really changed.
On the carriage, Bai Fuling carefully read Mrs. Huang's deed of prostitution, and said with satisfaction: "Eight thousand, seven hundred and one!"
On a restaurant near the entrance of Tieding Alley, Yang Heng, who was dressed as a rich young master, had watched the excitement just now, and was frowning as he looked at the ebony carriage that was going away, and said with a sneer, "Miss Bai? What a wonderful life prestige!"
The scholar Li Duanfang's wife, Huang Shi, whose maiden name is Huangqin, is the only daughter of a poor student in the nearby Guihua town. Because her mother was seriously ill and her family was poor, her father betrothed her to a neighbor with the help of a private matchmaker. Li Xiucai from the village was his wife, and exchanged a dowry to treat his wife's illness. How did he know that Huang's mother was still not cured, and her daughter left in the second year of marriage. Old man Huang was heartbroken and had no one to take care of her. After half a year, they also died together.
This Li Xiucai was quite normal at first, but later he was seduced by local ruffians from his hometown and became addicted to gambling. He lost all his family property two years ago and had to flee to Beiguan City with Huang to hide his debts. When he got here, he still didn't change his mind. He gambled all the money Huang earned from doing embroidery work for others, and began to beat and scold Huang frequently. Originally, Mrs. Huang thought that marrying a chicken and following her as a chicken was her fate, but a few days ago, she suddenly found out that she was pregnant. It was considered a happy event, but Mrs. Huang accidentally learned that the maddened Li Xiucai had secretly agreed with the people in the gambling house, If a son is born, it will be sold in another place to pay off gambling debts.
Huang only felt that there was a thunderbolt in the blue sky, and the determination to protect the flesh and blood in his belly had overcome everything. As a weak woman, she naturally couldn't do anything, after some weighing, she asked the owner of the embroidery workshop to find Bai Pingzi, the steward of the Bai family, and that's why the scene of "robbing a wife" in the street just now happened.
Yang Heng heard the news that his subordinates were ordered to inquire back, slowly turned the jasper finger in his hand, and said to the staff beside him: "It seems that Miss Bai is really a bodhisattva. What's going on with her and Zhenbei Army?"
Another spy stepped forward and said: "There are rumors in the market that the general of Zhenbei, Lu Ying, is commensurate with her brother and sister, and the relationship is very close. In the past two years, the imperial court failed to fully distribute the military salary of the Zhenbei Army and a supply of military supplies. The young lady paid in advance, and even placed many disabled soldiers and their orphans and widows in the army. Her prestige in the Zhenbei Army is no lower than that of Lu Ying. It is said that the whole army obeys her, that is, Lu Ying not excluded."
When Yang Heng heard that Bai Fuling paid for the military salary and military supplies, he slightly paused the hand that played with the jade wrench, and a trace of coldness and irritability flashed in his eyes: "Who else is there in the Bai family besides this Miss Bai? Do you have other backers or have a close relationship with anyone?"
The spy said: "The Bai family moved to Beiguan City ten years ago. No one knows their previous background. The Bai family still has Master Bai Bai Chou and his wife Mu Shi, and they only have Bai Fuling and an only daughter. The two couples dote on their daughter extremely, and Miss Bai has the final say on all matters in the family."
The spies paused for a while before continuing: "The Bai family runs the largest financial institution in the Northwest area. Every year, there are countless transactions with neighboring countries and barbarians. The wealth is incomparable to the enemy, but only people in the border area know about it. Fame, the main management and helpers under him are all in the hands of Miss Bai, and the exact size of Tongcai Dental Shop is unknown to outsiders. But it has never been found out which party the Bai family has a close relationship with."
Time was limited. Before coming here, Yang Heng was only focused on collecting information about Zhenbei General Lu Ying, and never paid attention to other things. Now it is not easy to get this information by asking his subordinates to go out to inquire temporarily.
Beiguan City is far away from the capital, and the details of the situation are unknown in the capital. All we know is that ever since Lu Ying was appointed General Zhenbei, he led his troops to defeat the barbarians. There was no incident for two years, but those high-ranking royal officials in the capital who had breathed a sigh of relief began to think about words such as "high meritorious service", "supporting soldiers and self-respect", and the emperor decided to send people to Beiguan City in private. Let's investigate carefully to see if Lu Ying has developed a heart of disobedience, so he can take precautions early.
As a result of the game of various forces, Yang Heng, the sixth prince who had never been taken seriously, became the secret envoy of this operation. Yang Heng also knew that this trip was thankless and dangerous, but he had to come.
Right now, the First Brother and the Second Brother are fighting to the death. If he reveals his strength too early, he may soon become the target of the two factions, or be wooed or killed. The latter is certainly not good, but the former is no more He was forced to consume the capital and contacts he had saved so hard to make wedding clothes for others, so he chose to keep a low profile, pretending to accept this task helplessly.
In Yang Heng's view, the crisis may not be a turning point. Now that the two forces in Beijing and China are fighting each other, it is good to avoid it for the time being. He is not interested in choosing either side. No accident, at least three to five years will be sitting on that dragon chair, showing a posture of eyeing the throne now, there will be no good end.
It's a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother don't seem to understand this point, or they are too confident in their own power, thinking that the position of crown prince will be decided between the two, so they only think about how to defeat him. other side.
Now Yang Heng only cares about how to complete this task, and it is very important to satisfy his father with a satisfactory result, so on the way here, he has been thinking about what kind of result his father would most like to see of.
He imagined several possibilities, but the premise is to find out Lu Ying's attitude. It's just that he never expected that before he came into contact with Lu Ying, he would first meet such a beautiful but domineering woman in Beiguan City. Her relationship with Lu Ying is not simple, and her own background and behavior are even more intriguing...
He waved his hand to make several subordinates retreat, and when he and Lie Dang were the only two left in the room, Yang Heng asked, "This Bai family sounds like a tyrant in Beiguan City..."
"His heart can be punished!" Lie Dang slowly uttered four words that concealed blood.
