DAY 144 Self-mutilation
Bai Minghe passed on all the evidence of Wei Lizhuan collected from Li Bing's justice.
Li Bing was in Bai Minghe's study and used his own court.
The brothers who came to Bai Mansion to help inspect the grain distribution affairs gathered in Bai Minghe's study. Bai Minghe was driven out like a guest.
The censors seemed to have discovered a huge prey, with green light in their eyes. They sorted out the evidence of guilt and wrote the memorials for impeachment in the pen of the censors. Li Bing was determined to go to the palace to meet the saint today, and he had sent someone to contact Xu Gui, and he wanted to have a face-to-face conversation with Xu Gui.
The white-known crane quietly went out.
The goal was naturally to find Shi Heng, but Bai Minghe was unwilling to see Shi Heng alone, so he kept spinning around the streets near Gaogu Mansion. He had some snacks, some tea, and looked at the shops in the capital, just thinking that it was for himself to have a holiday.
"Young Master Bai!" A mature, but extremely charming voice came to Bai Minghe's ears. Bai Minghe looked back and saw Wan Xueer in white clothes appear behind Bai Minghe.
"Miss Wan!" Bai Minghe returned the gift, but his expression was a little unnatural, as if seeing the courtesan is not a good thing!
"Walk to the bottom of my Piaoxue Tower and pass by the door and stop entering?" Wan Xueer said in a coquettish tone.
Bai Minghe smiled and nodded: "That rude disturbed." He spoke, but his feet did not rush to move.
It will be the morning, and it will be the afternoon when Piaoxue Tower needs guests. According to modern times, it will be almost after about four o'clock in the afternoon. Piaoxue Tower is not alone. There is at least one beautiful young woman who counts by the number of people. The only background of Piaoxue Tower is the most mysterious in the capital.
Sitting in the small hall on the second floor, Wan Xueer personally put a tea set for the white crane.
After smelling the fragrance of tea, Bai Minghe took a deep breath: "Good tea, this is Longjing, the best Longjing! Unfortunately, I always knew it, but I didn't have the chance to taste it. It's too expensive!"
Anyone who says Longjing Gui here is believed by Wan Xueer. Only Wan Xueer doesn’t believe the words of Bai Minghe.
If someone is talking in the capital, Bai Minghe can't afford to drink the top Longjing, someone will spit it on the speaker's face and talk nonsense.
"Young Master Bai is kind-hearted, aren't you in a hurry?"
Bai Minghe did not answer Wan Xueer's question immediately, but was playing with the teacup in his hand. Wan Xueer said again: "Mr. Li, who is temporarily stationed in Bai's mansion, is out. Isn't Mr. Bai waiting for someone to notify the news?"
Bai Minghe understood: "What kind of girl Xue'er is?"
Wan Xueer covered her face and smiled: "I dare to have a rank, but my identity is just a special one. Mr. Bai is scheming, and this identity is probably something no one can guess."
Bai Minghe said, I have a scheming, you have to click on this point, if I can't guess it anymore, I'm an idiot when I pass it to Dongchang. I'm afraid I'll be laughed at by big figures like Dongchang. However, Bai Minghe thought again that Wan Xueer seemed to have made some guesses on purpose, but she could say that she had guessed it, and she had to say it.
"My sister Qinghe's affairs, Mr. Bai owes me a favor!"
"I don't know, how can Miss Xueer repay this favor?"
"It would be best if Mr. Bai wrote down this favor. It is always a good thing to owe someone a favor." Wan Xueer is about twenty years old. Compared to Bai Minghe, there is nothing wrong with calling Qinghe sister. What's more, before Qinghe debuted, Wan Xueer was already the most famous courtesan in the capital.
Bai Minghe really wanted to say that he gave him a piece of spice, which was worth a lot of money.
But if you really withdraw money, this matter would be too vulgar.
Bai Minghe touched his body and took out the bamboo flute he used to put it on the table. Wan Xueer took it without any politeness. Bai Minghe's bamboo flute is very ordinary, both in bamboo and in work, but this bamboo flute appeared at the Zhuozhou Poetry Conference. The bamboo flute was engraved with Sun Yuanjun, which represents a promise of Bai Minghe.
Wan Xueer used the excuse to put away the flute and left the small compartment.
Bai Minghe drank tea alone for a while, and Wan Xueer came back and said to Bai Minghe: "Li Bing and Xu Gui's secret meeting. Under special arrangements, at least three people saw it. I believe that there are people from Gao Gu. Calculate the time, if there are two cups of tea, Mr. Bai should take action!"
"Everything is in control. But, keep the tea and I'll come back and continue drinking it later!"
"Exchange a new cup of tea for Mr. Bai!" Wan Xueer replied with a smile.
Not to mention two cups of tea, it was almost half an hour before Bai Minghe was still sitting and not moving. Wan Xueer didn't know what Bai Minghe was waiting for. Are you just waiting at this time?
Bai Minghe slowly drank the tea in the cup, ate another snack, and then stood up: "I'm afraid I'm going to miss lunch time."
"If Mr. Bai doesn't mind, I will cook for the master!" Wan Xueer responded.
"I'm afraid I can't bear it. Not everyone can be qualified to eat your meal, but..." Bai Minghe pulled a long voice and said with a smile: "Today, thank you for your hard work to invite Miss Xueer. I always have to drink a drink when I come back later!"
After saying that, Bai Minghe left Piaoxue Tower.
It is two streets away from Gaofu, and it is only two miles away by foot.
When he heard Bai Minghe's visit, the housekeeper asked for instructions and took Bai Minghe away from Gaogu's study room. Several servants were cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Shi Heng was not surprised that Bai Minghe was here, so he should be here, otherwise he would not come.
"Hello, Lord Gao, hello, Lord Shi!" Bai Minghe bowed his fists and smiled into the study.
"Mr. Bai has worked hard to distribute the food recently. Many good words from Master Bai are circulating in the capital!" Gao Gu also smiled and raised his hand.
Bai Minghe sat down and took out a piece of paper from his arms: "Master Gao, I, Bai Minghe, do not go around in circles. This time I came here about the agreement last time. Every year, I will add another 50% to the quantity mentioned last time. It is 4.5 million stones of grain each year to exchange for salt intake!"
"I wonder if Mr. Bai's number of improvements is based on it?"
Gao Gu asked quietly.
"I have a way to suppress Li Bing. There are two things that are enough to get the order to let Li Bing leave the capital immediately for two days. Within these two days, many things have been over." Bai Minghe's proposal is attractive enough.
Not to mention Shi Heng, even Gao Gu was a little moved.
They don’t care about Wei Lizhuan’s life or death, and they have a mutual use relationship with the eunuch. But this matter will involve many people, and their purpose is to protect others, except for eunuchs.
However, cooperation with Bai Minghe has become a handle, and Bai Minghe will inevitably not use this handle to do something that makes them even more difficult. Just now, Gao Gu was discussing with Shi Heng whether some people need to give up their current official positions and save their lives.
Thinking of this, Takagu replied to Bai Minghe with a very frivolous sentence: "Is that true?"
"Or it is said that Lord Shi directly gave the governor of the Cao Transport to his subordinates. I can at least convince someone to help me, only deal with the chief criminal!"
Gao Gu smiled and pointed to the white-known crane. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Heng slapped the table: "Bai Minghe, what are you? You, a small official the size of a sesame, dare to set conditions before your official?"
Bai Minghe smiled coldly: "I, Bai Minghe, is a little man, but there are dozens of censors in the Bai Mansion now. Could it be that when these censors wrote the memorial, they accidentally shook their hands and added Lord Shi's name!"
Facing the white-famous heir's tit-for-tat confrontation, Shi Heng's face turned extremely cold.
Bai Minghe was anxious. He was waiting for another message to come back. It is logical that the people from Takagu and Shi Heng would not be so useless. He has been in the mansion for so long, so why hasn't he reported it yet?
Helplessly, Bai Minghe had to use rogue methods to anger Shi Heng.
How could Shi Heng not be angry? He was a second-rank military officer, and he was also a person who could shake out a few ounces of dust in the capital with one stomp in his feet. He threatened a sesame official who was only eighteen years old and seventh-rank, and he had the desire to kill at this time.
Shi Heng was so angry that he shivered. Gao Gu really didn't understand where Bai Minghe's confidence came from.
"Master Shi, know the practice..." Bai Minghe finally saw a running figure and almost rushed into the house. Seeing Bai Minghe was still calm, he quickly walked to Shi Heng and Gaogu, and whispered: "Master Wei was arrested, the person was dirty and caught. He also arrested more than a dozen of us. The people who started the attack made it clear. The person who captured Eunuch Wei was the Internal Criminal Department, and the person who arrested us was the East Factory."
Shi Hengxin suddenly got up, and his first reaction was that there was nothing to talk about with Bai Minghe at the moment.
The conditions for the white-famous crane are outdated.
He was getting angry, but he heard Gao Gu say, "Mr. Bai, please stop. I will not leave any blank for lunch.
"Get out quickly, can I ask my official to arrange someone to beat you out?"
Since Gao Gu is not angry with Bai Minghe, there is no need for Shi Heng to get angry about Bai Minghe's affairs at the moment. They have more important things to do.
The white-known He had a white face, and the follower who came to report the message pointed at the door: "Please!"
The tone of this word "please" is extremely disrespectful. Just after Bai Minghe left, the entourage said, "Send him out of the mansion, be careful, don't let anything missing in the mansion?" Bai Minghe swayed his sleeves and strode away.
However, Takaya blamed the follower and said, "There is no need to speak evilly, and the white-famous crane is not a good person!"
"He counts that hair." Shi Heng cursed and said to Takagu: "At present, those people are caught and cannot escape. This is not a matter of losing their official position, but a matter of losing their lives."
Gao Gu was very calm: "I arranged for someone to find a way to meet them and protect their family. As for you, go into the palace immediately!"
"Ask apologize? Now you have to argue for anything." Shi Heng was a little reluctant. But Gao Gu said: "Go and impeach!"
Impeachment! Another angle is to abandon your son, or to lose the army to protect the general. Of course, in Shi Heng's eyes, this is just a matter of losing a few pawns, and there is nothing to hesitate. The memorial book has been written long ago, and he got up and prepared to enter the palace.
Chapter completed!
