Qin Gong

Inside Bai Yu's mansion.

Bai Yu and Bai Yan were discussing things in the study, when they heard the servant report that Bai Yan and Bai Bo had returned, they got up quickly.

Soon in the courtyard, the two saw Bai Yan, Bai Bo and his party.

"Brother!"

"Brother!!"

Bai Yan and Bai Yu made the salute to Uncle Bai, and after watching Uncle Bai return the salute, they looked at Bai Yan, Bai Junzhu, and Bai Yingxue who were making the salute together.

"Uncle, uncle!"

"Father, uncle!"

Looking at the three people who compiled the ceremony, Bai Yan and Bai Yu nodded.

"Go to the study room!"

Bai Yan and Bai Yu were not in a hurry to say anything here, but asked Bai Yan to go to the study.

With a group of people back to the study.

Lu Shi came over with tea.

Bai Yan and Bai Yu sat kneeling behind the wooden table, looked at each other, and looked at the boy with frowning.

"What happened to Luoyin?"

Bai Yan was the first to ask, his tone full of worry.

"Do you know, kid, that during this period of time, the entire city of Xianyang is waiting to see a joke!"

Bai Yu was also on the side, sighed, and looked at Bai Yan with a bit of hatred.

Looking at the boy in front of him now, Bai Yu couldn't understand why the boy who used to be like a little fox was so confused for a moment and made that announcement, even if he just arrived in the fief, he didn't want a reputation like that.

Now every day at court, when waiting at the gate of the palace, all the officials are laughing and talking about Luoyin, and almost most of them are waiting to see a joke.

Bai Yu gets angry when he thinks of this matter.

After being a general for so many years, why has he ever been laughed at like this before? In the end, this kid Bai Yan couldn't handle the seriousness, and people saw the joke. The key is that he didn't have a word to refute. shelf.

"The matter of Luoyin is approved by the king!"

Bai Yan looked at Bai Yan and said, then looked at Bai Yu who was complaining, and smiled.

"Uncle, why should you care about other people's words? If others laugh today, you won't be able to laugh again in the future!"

Bai Yan pretended to be profound and said.

However, this appearance fell into Bai Yu's eyes, so he couldn't make Bai Yu angry.

"Are you still hiding, kid?"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan with a displeased face. To be honest, it's a good thing that Bai Yan is not his nephew, otherwise Bai Yu really couldn't help but take out his walking stick.

On the contrary, Bai Yan was more sensible, upon hearing Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan calmly.

"His Majesty approves?"

Bai Yan said softly.

Before Bai Yan and Bai Yu learned about Luo Yin, they kept analyzing in the mansion, because both of them had a premonition that Bai Yan's behavior was definitely not a momentary confusion, but a conspiracy, but the two of them didn't know why .

And seeing more and more merchants crossing the river from Luoyin to Xianyang, this made Bai Yan and Bai Yu even more confused, because looking at those merchants, it was obvious that Bai Yan really helped them pay for the boat.

at the moment.

Hearing Bai Yan said that he had reported it to the king, the king also agreed to this matter.

hiss~!

Bai Yan has been in business for many years, and this is the first time he feels that his brains are not enough. If Bai Yan might be confused and act recklessly for a while, it is impossible for the king to act recklessly.

What's going on with this body?

Bai Yan, who couldn't figure it out, looked at the two daughters calmly.

However, Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue, who were standing, saw Bai Yan's eyes and shook their heads calmly, indicating that they didn't know either.

"Nephew, no matter what, he is a member of the Bai clan. If there is an important matter, it is better to say it. It was my uncle who was wrong before, but his heart is still for my nephew."

At this time, Uncle Bai couldn't help but look at Bai Yan helplessly, with a sincere expression on his face.

After all, Bai Yan didn't even talk about Bai Yu at the moment, which made Uncle Bai very difficult. Bai Yan and Bai Yu had never been to Luoyin, and they hadn't seen the crowds of people inside and outside Luoyin City, but he, Uncle Bai, had seen it with his own eyes, and he was the most Know the amount of money spent behind it.

So Uncle Bai was really worried that Bai Yan would not be able to step down in the future, and that he would lose his prestige in Luoyin!

"Bai Yan is clear! However, it is not appropriate to speak about this right now!"

When Bai Yan heard Bai Bo's words, he raised his hand and bowed to Bai Bo to express his apology.

As for why he had to pay, Bai Yan has no plans to say it now, before Bai Yan thought that Bai Bo might wake up when he saw the crowds of people in Luoyin City.

But it was only later that Bai Yan realized that Uncle Bai was still limited by the times after all, or in other words, not only Uncle Bai, but the vast majority of people in the world were limited in their thinking.

Many people only see the benefits that can be seen in front of them, but cannot see the layout of the deeper roots.

Just like what he told Tian Feiyan that day, how much it costs to take a boat alone, if you just look at the money for a boat ride, it won't be much in a year. The real big head is eating, drinking, living and playing.

Different from ordinary people, as merchants, the most indispensable thing is money, but those who care about profit the most and those who like to take advantage are also merchants, so as long as the vast majority of merchants in the world come to Luoyin City, then behind them The profit is enough to make one's scalp tingle, and most importantly, it can also allow the people of Luoyin to profit from the merchants.

At first, Bai Yan thought that Uncle Bai, a businessman, should understand this truth, but he didn't realize it until later. Uncle Bai's vision was limited by the times after all, so he didn't realize it.

Maybe we still have to wait until there are enough people, until the daily revenue of those shops startled Bai Ping, maybe Bai Bo would understand, and then he would react in a ignorant way.

As for now.

Bai Yan wanted people to know, the fewer the better, or the later the better.

Inside the study.

Whether it's Uncle Bai, Bai Yan, or Bai Yu, they all looked at each other helplessly and sighed when they saw Bai Yan who didn't take in oil and salt, didn't listen to persuasion and didn't speak out.

"By the way, during this period of time, someone mentioned the matter of great-grandfather Bai Qi, and now there are rumors everywhere in the city that you, Bai Yan, once made bold words after drinking, and your words will definitely live up to the mistakes of great-grandfather Bai Qi!"

Bai Yu thought of something, and suddenly said to Bai Yan.

Regarding this matter, Bai Yu is not worried at all, not to mention the fact that Bai Yan risked his life to protect the king, even if there is no assassination of the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, the king will know that someone is behind the scenes when he hears these rumors Frame and slander this kid.

After all, those words can only be said from the standpoint of the Bai family, and Bai Yan is not a child of the Bai family at all.

thought here.

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan somewhat depressed.

Speaking of which, right now, even everyone in the Bai family still doesn't know where this kid Bai Yan came from!
"If Bai Yan's guess is correct, he should be the envoy of Qi State!"

Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words, thought for a while, and said.

To be honest, if Bai Yan is really a child of the Bai family, Tian Ding's action alone is enough to scare Bai Yan into a cold sweat. I guess he will be unsteady when he sees Ying Zheng in the future. The best result under consideration is Resign from office and go back to hiding, and in the future, other forces will not find opportunities to frame him.

But just like Tian Ding, he is also from Qi State, and Mao Jiao has been to Qi State to meet his family, and even specially visited his grandmother.

thought here.

Bai Yan felt a little melancholy, and turned to look at Bai Yu.

"Emissary of Qi State? Tian Ding!!"

Bai Yu listened to Bai Yan's words, and when he was talking to himself, he suddenly saw Bai Yan's eyes.

"Uncle, what will Prime Minister You do during this period of time?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu and asked.

Qin State defeated Yan, Tian Ding was 'invited' to Xianyang again, Wei State has no strength, now the most important thing to pay attention to is Chu State, and extra precautions must be taken against Changping Lord who has a deep feud with the Bai family.

"That's true! Speaking of which, during this period of time, there have been frequent visits to Lord Changping's mansion! According to the news from Chu State, it is said that the king of Chu can no longer hold on, and it will only be one and a half months at most! If there are no accidents, once The king of Chu died suddenly, and the person who will go to Chu as an envoy will most likely be Lord Changping!"

When Bai Yu mentioned the matter of Mr. Changping, he became serious.

After all, it was Mr. Changping who almost killed him back then, and Mr. Changping was always behind the scenes, trying to destroy the entire Bai family at any time.

"King Chu?"

When Bai Yan heard the news that the king of Chu was about to lose his hold, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that in this year, not only the king of Chu, but also the king of Wei would all die of illness in this year, and the new king who succeeded the king of Wei would be It was Wei Jia, the young master who regarded dogs as his own life and avenged him because he killed his beloved dog.

Suddenly.

Bai Yan noticed that Bai Yu's eyes were very strange, this was the first time he saw him.

In an instant, Bai Yan thought of a possibility.

"Uncle wants to arrange assassination in Chu State?"

Bai Yan asked softly.

In a word, Uncle Bai, Bai Junzhu, and Bai Yingxue were all surprised, but Bai Yan didn't show a surprised expression, obviously he already knew it.

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and nodded.

"It must not be like this, his son was assassinated just now! Uncle arranges the assassination at this time, and he will definitely fall into Lord Changping's trap!"

Bai Yan quickly shook his head to persuade him.

In a word, Bai Yan and Bai Yu immediately looked at Bai Yan, very puzzled.

trap?

"Someone will assassinate Mrs. Bai during this trip! Uncle, if you don't believe me, let's see!"

When Bai Yan said this, he looked at Bai Yu with meaningful eyes.

This made Bai Yan and Bai Yu not sure why, they looked at each other, and then looked at Bai Yan very suspiciously.

Day two.

With the dawn, Bai Yan and Bai Yu put on their official uniforms early and took a carriage to the gate of Xianyang Palace.

But just now when he came to the gate of the palace, after getting off the carriage, Bai Yan noticed that there were not many officials in front of the palace gate, one counted as one, and they all looked at him.

Bai Yu, who got off the carriage with Bai Yan, naturally also saw this scene, sighed helplessly in his heart, turned his head to look at Bai Yan beside him angrily, then shook his head, as if he hadn't seen those With a look in his eyes, he got off the carriage on his own.

soon.

Bai Yan stood beside Bai Yu, waiting for the palace gate to open to enter the court, more and more officials came to the palace gate in carriages.

Meng Yu, Wei Liao, Chang Ping Jun, Wang Wan, Kui Zhuang, Li Si and many other bigwigs appeared one after another, and almost without exception, no matter who they were, when they saw Bai Yan, they all showed strange expressions.

When Mr. Hu and Mao Jiao arrived, they were a little surprised to see Bai Yan.

Then, under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, Mr. Hu and Mao Jiao got off the carriage, and after the carriage left, they walked directly towards Bai Yan.
