Chivalrous Song Dynasty

He doesn't want to be an unsung hero. First of all, he doesn't think that he alone can ensure that An Daoquan will not be killed by Cai You's men.Secondly, he felt that if he raised his head to save An Daoquan, it was equivalent to raising his head to save Cai Jing indirectly. How could this be done without letting the master know about it?

He needs Cai Jing's help. He feels that even if Cai Jing will not act first and deal with his own son with vicious means, with Cai Jing's ability, he can completely prevent Cai You and Zhai Qian's plot from succeeding.

He was very anxious, but someone was causing him trouble. As soon as he left the building, someone grabbed his arm, "Nephew, where are you going? Do you know who I am?"

Bai Sheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the chubby official in his 40s in front of him. He could tell from the voice that this person was also one of those who entered Cai Jing's bedroom in the morning, but he didn't know his name.

But it is obvious that this person's official position is definitely not small, and he should have eaten on the third floor of Tianranju. Now he came back from outside, and he should have gone to the "bathroom".Although Cai Jing's home is luxurious, due to the technology of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is impossible to install a toilet in the restaurant.

Thinking to myself, how the hell do I know who you are?In his mouth, he said politely: "My nephew doesn't know. Please tell my uncle." Since the other party is an important minister in the court, of course he can't offend casually.

The official said: "Nephew, stupid uncle Bai Shizhong! Your lord Bai Shigeng is my cousin, why, don't you know?"

Bai Sheng was dubious when he heard the words, so the name of Bai Sheng's father was Bai Shigeng?How can this be?My cousin has become such a big official, how can my cousin still work in the countryside?

But Bai Shizhong sighed: "When Uncle Yu was appointed to know Yunzhou, he wrote a letter asking your father to come to Yunzhou to make a living, but your father didn't come. got in touch"

In fact, Bai Shizhong's words are half-truths and half-false.

He did have a cousin named Bai Shigeng.Back then, after he became a Jinshi, he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Later, he committed a crime, was impeached by the officials, and was relegated to Yunzhou as the magistrate.

At that time, Bai Shigeng took the initiative to join him, but he had just been relegated, and he wanted to return to the court with his activities, so he ignored this poor relative.As a result, Bai Shigeng settled down in the nearest Anle Village, and he himself only served as the magistrate in Yunzhou for half a year before returning to the imperial court.

The administrative division of Yunzhou was abolished by Cai Jing three years ago. The original jurisdiction of Yunzhou is now Dongping County and Yuncheng County. Dongping County occupies more than half, and Yuncheng County occupies a small half. A hundred miles of water.

Today he happened to hear Zhao Mingcheng's profound revelation about Bai Sheng. When he learned that Bai Sheng came from Anle Village, Yuncheng County, he immediately confirmed that Bai Sheng was his cousin's son, because there were not many households surnamed Bai in Dongping County and Yuncheng County. of.

It's just that he has a completely different view from Zhao Mingcheng. He thinks that regardless of Bai Sheng's background, just being able to enter Cai Jing's bedroom is enough to impress people.Originally, he was still thinking about how to recognize Bai Sheng as his relative, but he didn't expect to run into each other when he came back from the toilet.

"It turned out to be uncle, uncle, please be respected by my nephew!"

"Nephew please hurry up! Since you are in the capital, go live at Uncle Yu's house, and bring your father over later. By the way, how is my cousin?"

"he died."

Chapter 93 The Incident

Bai Sheng was actually very happy to recognize this relative.This is not only because he has a backer to gain a foothold in Beijing, but also because Bai Shizhong gave him a sense of existence in this world and made him feel the warmth of family affection.

Humans are social animals.No one in this world is truly alone in the crowd. Even if parents die young, there will still be various relatives in the world.Although there may not be as many patrilineal and maternal bloodlines as there are seven aunts and eight aunts, it is not impossible to have none.

In addition, there is another half of the map of the trapping island that he always keeps in mind. According to the half of the map he keeps, the other half of the map must always be found among relatives.

But right now he really doesn't have time to talk about family affairs with Bai Shizhong, Cai You and Zhai Qian have already put invisible knives on his neck, how can he have the mood to catch up with his uncle?

So he told Bai Shizhong directly that his father was dead.

He was eager to leave, so he didn't make any false statements, just like he said about the bathroom to Li Qingzhao and Xiao Feng upstairs, it was all the result of anxiety and tension.

"My miserable cousin" Bai Shizhong had to show due sadness, otherwise he would not be marrying Bai Sheng but seeking revenge.He held Bai Sheng's hand tightly, and two muddy tears came out of his eyes.

Who can become a high official in the court, who is not a figure like a movie king?Even if you are happy in your heart, you can show others by howling, even if you hate to the extreme in your heart, you can be as warm as spring on the surface.Crying when you talk, laughing when you are talking, these are their basic skills, and all of them are veterans.

Bai Sheng didn't have time to guess whether Bai Shizhong was crying for real or fake. He just wanted to get away, but he didn't have any reason to shake off Bai Shizhong's hands.

At this moment, a housekeeper from the Cai Mansion came in a hurry, went directly to the third floor of Tianranju, invited one of the guests down, and left in a hurry.

Bai Sheng heard the conversation between them. The housekeeper of Cai's house called that person Tengfu Yin. The guest called Tengfu Yin asked the housekeeper of Cai's house: "Did they say who reported the theft?" The housekeeper replied What he said was: "Say it's Wang Fu."

When passing by Bai Shizhong's uncle and nephew, Tengfu Yin and Bai Shizhong greeted each other.

Bai Shizhong was surprised: "Teng Fu Yin, are you planning to go back to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Teng Fu Yin nodded, and sighed: "Well, there is an important case, and this meal will not be finished, Brother Shi Zhong, let's go."

Seeing the figure of Tengfu Yin leaving in a hurry, Bai Shizhong did not forget to introduce to his nephew: "This is Teng Qingtian and Teng Zhongxiao, the governors of Kaifeng Prefecture, the grandsons of the famous Teng Zijing. I will introduce him to you in the future." , if you want to hang around in the capital, you don't know Teng Qingtian."

What level of official is the Governor of Kaifeng?In future generations, he will be the mayor of the capital!Although not as popular as Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Liang Shicheng, etc. in front of the emperor, he is definitely one of the few powerful ministers.

Bai Sheng nodded, but he was thinking in his heart: "Don't tell me that the jade horse Shi Qian stole belongs to Wang Fu."

He didn't have a deep impression of Wang Fu, he only knew that this person was also one of the famous treacherous officials in Song Huizong's era. Seeing that Bai Shizhong was so enthusiastic about helping him, he simply asked, "Uncle, what kind of official is Wang Fu?"

Bai Shizhong's complexion changed, he pulled Bai Sheng away for a few steps, and said in a low voice, "This Wang Fu is amazing, he is a young minister today, his speed of promotion is rare in ancient and modern times, and he has created a record of eight consecutive promotions." A miracle in the officialdom, in front of the official family, he is more popular than Cai Xianggong. Let’s say that the grand master is ill this time, how many people dare not come to visit? The old and sick Yang Jian is one, and then Wang Fu.”

Bai Shengxin said it badly, this Wang Fu is so awesome, no wonder the Tengfu Yin can't eat. From this point of view, the jade horse that Shi Qian stole probably belonged to Wang Fu, and he murmured to himself: "This People are so awesome?"

Bai Shizhong didn't know what Niubi meant, so he nodded in confusion and said, "The most powerful thing about this person is that he is a native of Kaifeng, and his connections are deep-rooted. If this Bianliang City is compared to a towering tree, then The roots under the ground are all his Wang Fu's people. Can't be messed with."

While talking, Bai Sheng saw that Cai Xiao also came out from the door of Tianranju, and hurried away, not knowing where he was going.

Bai Shizhong told Bai Sheng some more about the relationship between people in the capital. When a gust of cold wind blew in, he couldn't help shivering a little, and said, "Nephew, let's go up and have a drink and chat?"

Bai Sheng seized the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Oh, uncle, my nephew is a little anxious, I will toast you when I come back."

After saying goodbye to Bai Shizhong, when he hurried to the outside of Cai Jing's private courtyard, he was blocked by a group of guards, and at the same time, there was an old lady in her thirties who was wiping tears.

Zhai Qian stood in front of the guards, and asked with a sullen face, "Master Bai is not enjoying lunch at the food garden, why are you here?"

Bai Sheng's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was wrong, he was afraid that he would not see Cai Jing again, and said: "I suddenly remembered that there is one more thing I haven't reported to the Grand Master, so"

"The grand master took a nap, and now he is ill, and no one can disturb his rest. Come back tomorrow if you have anything to do." Zhai Qian interrupted Bai Sheng's words coldly.

"Is it really not possible to be flexible? I really have something urgent!" Bai Sheng is still making the last effort, as long as he can see Cai Jing, he will immediately expose this sleazy guy.

Zhai Qian's face became even colder: "What are you talking about?" He pointed at the tearful Xu Niang next to him and said, "The grand master's own daughter is not allowed to enter, the son of Liang Zhongshu of the famous mansion, and the grand master's grandson are missing. Is this matter big enough? You can’t even go in and report this matter. Let me advise you one last thing, you’d better go to eat, and don’t disturb here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for using force.”

"Ah?" Bai Sheng was taken aback, I rubbed it, and this Xu Niang is Liang Zichao's mother. Seeing that Mrs. Liang has started to look at him, he hurriedly turned his head away to prevent her from seeing his face, and pointed at Zhai Qian. She cupped her hands, "Sorry, see you later."

He can run faster than a rabbit.There's no way, I'm guilty of being a thief.Killing someone's son, how to face the child's mother?

He left Cai's mansion in a short time, and rushed to the restaurant that the morning and Shi Qian had patronized. From a distance, he saw a group of people surrounding there, some of them were holding chains, water and fire sticks, and they knew it at a glance. He is the official of the Yamen.In addition, there were several people holding several dogs in their hands, barking and barking, and there was endless noise.

It's over, this must have been an accident.The efficiency of the Bianjing police in solving the case is good. They found this restaurant so quickly, but it seems that they did not catch Shi Qian.

Thinking of this, where would he dare to move forward, he turned around and left.

Idiots just come forward, even if those "police dogs" can't smell anything, the guys in the restaurant can identify themselves.

Chapter 94

Bianliang City is very large and prosperous.

In this era, whether it is her size, her population, or her wealth, she can be called the number one in the world.

But compared with later generations, Bianliang City is very small.

How small is it?At most, it is only the size of a backward prefecture-level city, or a county-level city with more prominent development.
