Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1170 This is courtesy, not scheming

"What are you doing?!"

The person who spoke was Yu Jianling, and he scolded him again.

Standing in front of him were several officials.

His face was stern, showing that he was truly angry.

Bai Mingwei stood up and walked over: "What's wrong?"

Yu Jianling cupped his hands: "General."

Then, he looked at a few more people and said, "Do you want to say it yourself, or should I help you say it?"

Several officials lowered their heads in unison.

Seeing this, Yu Jianling said coldly: "General, I noticed these people were sneaking around. When I came over, I saw that they were unloading nails from Mr. Meng's carriage."

It turned out that he had long discovered the other officials' rejection of Meng Ziang, and because the matter was not a big deal, he did not tell Bai Mingwei about it.

But just in case, he would still come to Meng Ziang from time to time to avoid something irreversible happening.

When he came over for inspection as usual, he happened to find them doing such immoral things and immediately stopped them.

Bai Mingwei glanced lightly, and several people in the crowd knelt down in fear.

However, just when everyone thought Bai Mingwei would get angry, she just said quietly:

"How you unload it, load it up. Tomorrow/you guys will ride in this carriage. If the carriage is not strong enough and any accidents happen, you will be responsible for it."

Having said this, Bai Ming slightly raised his eyes and looked at the carriage: "Mr. Meng, this general has something to discuss with you. Please move to His Highness's tent."

After the words fell, Bai Mingwei turned and left.

This matter was lifted high and put down gently.

Yu Jianling was shocked and doubtful. He looked up and saw several officials heaving a sigh of relief as if they had survived the disaster.

He scolded in a low voice: "It's too early to worry now. If you don't repair the carriage properly, when we set off tomorrow, the road will be slippery and it will fall into the gutter. Let's see how you can still laugh!"

Several officials lowered their heads and did not respond to Yu Jianling.

Yu Jianling caught up with Bai Mingwei and asked puzzledly: "General, you were the one who insisted on re-employing Mr. Meng despite all the opposition."

"But why did you just expose it without any pain when something like that happened? I don't understand, so I asked the general to clarify my doubts."

Bai Mingwei was about to speak when he found Meng Ziang approaching.

She didn't speak immediately, but just used her eyes to signal the guards to surround the place and create space for them to talk.

Meng Ziang came slowly, raised his hands and saluted: "General."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. I have been wronged by you these past few days."

Meng Ziang nodded slightly and said nothing.

At this time, Bai Mingwei looked at Yu Jianling and asked: "Your Majesty, what punishment do you think is fair?"

One sentence stopped Yu Jianling.

Bai Ming smiled: "The Crown Prince also feels that there are no appropriate punishment measures for people like them, right?"

Yu Jianling sighed: "If there are no serious consequences, we can't beat them. But their behavior is bad, and we can't pretend that nothing happened. It's really difficult to deal with."

Bai Mingwei explained slowly: "Your Majesty, let's look at those people. They all come from aristocratic families and have backgrounds in the court. That's why they have such a meteoric rise."

"Some of them are already in their thirties, and some have just reached the age to start a career. They have been assigned a position by their family and are getting by."

"Even though he is wearing official robes, he is still as petty as a naughty child. He can even do things like remove the nails from a carriage."

"That's all. It's not done cleanly. If someone catches me by the tail, I don't have the courage to take responsibility."

"Can these people be reasonable? Will they become mature after being taught a lesson?"

"It's not that I don't care about Mr. Meng's situation, but the current situation is special. If we go to war over such a matter, it will not only put the cart before the horse, but it is also not worth it."

When Yu Jianling heard this, he was speechless.

What kind of virtues do these people have? How could he not understand them?

But they happened to receive positions, to put it mildly, they were imperial officials.

These officials are only temporarily assigned to wait for orders, and are not subordinate officers of the general. Naturally, we cannot ask them to follow the same rules and regulations as when marching to fight a war.

If the general is always punished heavily for trivial matters, there will be a lot of trouble in Jiangbei before the matter is completed.

In the end it became a joke.

In the final analysis, the root cause lies with the officials themselves, not with the general's handling of the situation.

After Yu Jianling thought about it, he bowed deeply to Bai Mingwei and said, "Thank you, General, for taking the trouble to clear up my subordinates' doubts."

After saying that, he withdrew.

Meng Ziang smiled meaningfully: "You are quite patient with him."

Bai Ming smiled and said: "Since the prince has doubts, naturally he should make it clear. It is just a few words of explanation. It doesn't cost much words, let alone trouble."

"In order to show off the majesty of the top, you can't just let the people below guess. If you guess wrong, it will be troublesome."

There was no one around, Meng Ziang mocked without concealment:

"Donngling is really going to end. These future mainstays, not to mention they don't look like officials, they can't even be considered normal people. They are just nothing."

Bai Mingwei heard the words and did not agree or object.

She smiled and said: "Mr. Hard work puts up with them."

Meng Ziang stared at Bai Mingwei, and finally suppressed the disdain on his face: "At least, the Dongling court is not full of idiots."

Bai Mingwei naturally understood what Meng Ziang meant.

She naturally changed the topic: "Judging from the time when Mr. Sir appeared, if the person targeting Mr. Wants to take any action, it is time to take action."

"Today, the nails on Mr.'s carriage were removed. He seems childish and brainless, but there is no guarantee whether it was the pebbles they threw to ask for directions."

"The reason why I suppressed the attack was because I wanted to wait and see what happened. If I act too harshly now, I'm afraid I might alert the snake and it will be difficult to lure them out and catch them all."

"I also hope that you, sir, can understand that I am not completely ignorant of what they have done in recent days, nor am I ignoring you."

Yes, how could these little tricks be hidden from Bai Mingwei's eyes.

You must know that Meng Ziang is carrying a huge secret, and she will be cautious when it comes to Meng Ziang.

Among these officials, the apparent alignment is clear.

But there is no guarantee which one of them is the hidden stake planted by Prince Liu Yu.

What she was waiting for was just further actions from these people.

When the prince and others made big moves to get rid of Meng Ziang, she could just deal with it together.

Firstly, this matter can clear the hidden stumbling blocks, and secondly, it can severely dampen the energy of these people, making them severely damaged and unable to continue to act in a short period of time.

To avoid having to deal with these troubles every three days, they can focus on Jiangbei's problems.

When Meng Ziang heard this, he turned his face aside and said, "Great general, why are you explaining this to me, a humble person?"

Bai Ming smiled slightly: "I respect you, sir, and naturally I don't want to have any misunderstandings with you."

Meng Zi'ang snorted coldly: "General, please don't behave like a corporal in honoring a virtuous corporal. I won't accept it."

Bai Mingwei didn't take it seriously: "Sir, this is the most basic courtesy, not scheming. Sir, you misunderstood."

Meng Ziang did not hold on to this matter anymore, he turned around and walked into the shed.

Liu Yao was already waiting inside, and Bai Yu was sitting under Liu Yao.

Meng Ziang raised his hand to Liu Yao and stood aside immediately.

Bai Mingwei then walked in, and his trusted guards immediately surrounded the tent.

Bai Mingwei walked to the simple small table, spread out the map, and pointed at the map:

"We are here now. Sir, there must be a reason for leading us to take this path. Can Sir, please tell us?"

After the words fell, everyone looked at Meng Ziang in unison, waiting for Meng Ziang's answer.
