Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 398: Is there any news about Young Master Bai?

Gradually, public opinion changed.

Initially, everyone was scolding Xue Jin, but not long after, everyone was scolding Xue Huaizu, blaming all the bad things Xue Jin had done on Xue Huaizu's connivance and doting.

Although Bai Mingwei's people deliberately guided it, the people would eventually think so even if Bai Mingwei didn't intervene.

Intervening is just to bring about this result.

After the meal, several people left the restaurant and went to the tea shop.

This place where people listen to books and drink tea usually has few people, but today it was packed with people.

The storyteller on the stage slapped the ruler, and a wonderful and bizarre story began.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this story. It is completely based on Xue Jin's life and adds some details to make the story more vivid and twists.

After everyone heard this, they exclaimed: "What a good death! Those who have done such bad things deserve to be punished by heaven and earth!"

Then, everyone began to discuss the Xue family's affairs. Under the deliberate guidance of Bai Mingwei and others, Xue Huaizu's sanctimonious face was exposed bit by bit by the people.

The reputation that the Xue family spent many years building up was gone in just one morning.

Zhang Jin was very happy: "The Xue family should not be able to stand up now."

Bai Mingwei shook his head: "No, it's not enough. If someone scolds him now, there's no guarantee that someone will sympathize with him tomorrow. People's hearts are fickle, and their views on a person will also change with the situation."

"If Xue Huaizu wants to continue to hang out in Jincheng, he will definitely take some measures to make the people change their minds. We will continue to cut off his escape path."

Zhang Jin cupped his hands and said, "Miss Bai, please show me."

Bai Mingwei told him: "Don't be impatient. I have already sent people to do this. We will wait for the news."

While the two were talking, a subordinate sat next to Bai Mingwei and lowered his voice: "Miss Bai, this subordinate has watched a good show!"

Bai Ming took a sip of tea, the fragrance lingering on his teeth and cheeks: "Tell me about it?"

The subordinate said: "The Xue family is in complete chaos because Xue Jin was favored by Xue Huaizu and was jealous of others. Now they are adding insult to injury and want to drive out all the people in Xue Jin's father's house."

Bai Mingwei showed an unexpected look: "Most big families are like this, fighting openly and secretly, and quarreling with each other."

Not every big family is as upright as the Bai family.

The subordinate also said: "The business partners of the Xue family knew that Xue Huaizu's private treasury was robbed, and they came to collect debts one after another. Now that Xue Huaizu's grandson is gone, his money is gone, and he has to face this kind of thing. He fainted many times because of his anger. The middle is all pinched to pieces."

Bai Mingwei put down the tea cup, his expression became sharp for a moment, and then he smiled meaningfully: "His business is huge. I wonder if he can pay back the payment in a short time?"

The subordinate gloated: "I'm afraid he can't? Those children and grandchildren are making such a fuss, I'm afraid he won't be allowed to use all the money in the company to repay the debt."

Bai Mingwei raised the corner of his lips: "If you want to do this business for a long time, you must not be a deadbeat. If Xue Huaizu wants to make a comeback, he has to rely on those people. He will not default on them for too long."

Zhang Jin slapped his thigh: "Now I know why you want to scrape his private treasury instead of the public treasury."

Zhou Yi quickly looked around. Fortunately, everyone was enthusiastically expressing their opinions on the Xue family, and no one noticed them.

Bai Ming nodded with a smile: "Exactly, I just want to push him into a desperate situation. Only in this way will he use those things as the last straw to escape the predicament."

"In order to collect money to pay them back, he would transport the items as quickly as possible to get his reward."

"So from now on, pay close attention to Xue's every move, rob all the letters he sends out, cut off his connection with his backers, and let him be in trouble."

Only when there is chaos, it is easier to make mistakes.

Zhang Jin quickly responded.

Zhou Yi asked in a low voice: "Aren't you worried that he will use his property to pay off his debts?"

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "Real estates, shops...these things are like old hens that often lay eggs. Killing them can meet temporary needs, but there will be no eggs in the future."

"The Xue family has not yet reached the point of depletion. They will not do this. Otherwise, how will they make money in the future?" Zhang Jin patted his thigh again: "Now I know why you still keep Gongzhong."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, there is still a warehouse in Gongzhong, so he won't kill those old hens that can lay eggs."

It seemed like there was room left, but in fact it cut off all escape routes.

Because he had public property, Xue Huaizu would not use his land and shop to pay off his debts.

But he couldn't easily touch the property in the palace, so the only way to go was to transport food.

Zhang Jin sincerely admired him: "Everything you did last night was not in vain. It was all based on your consideration. I have to say that I admire you."

Bai Mingwei chuckled: "Okay, don't compliment me. This is common sense, because opponents compete with each other to see who is bold enough, who is more thoughtful and comprehensive, and who has the longest view."

Everyone showed a look of enlightenment.

……

A few people drank tea and quietly returned to the stronghold.

At this time, the person who was sent out also brought news: "Miss Bai, according to your instructions, we found Jiang Shan and quietly buried a box of silver nuggets in the house he was repairing."

"We have put some effort into that box. It must be an old item that has been buried for many years. He will not notice anything strange."

"According to his progress, it won't take a few hours to find the box of silver. By then we will draw the Xue family's attention to him."

Bai Mingwei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. This Jiang Shan belongs to Li Xianzhao. He has always helped Li Xianzhao deliver things to Jincheng."

"How can we let him go if he helps the tyranny? Let him be our target and block Xue Huaizu's arrows for us. The more fierce they bite each other, the better it will be for us."

Having said this, Bai Mingwei patted his hand gently on the table: "Everything is ready. What we have to do now is to wait quietly for the time to pass. Within five days, he will make some move."

Everyone clapped their hands: "Yes!"

……

Qiang City.

Mr. Gongsun stopped Feng Qingchen halfway: "I haven't cooked for a few days. Are your hands disabled or your legs lame?"

Don't blame Mr. Gongsun for being anxious, he had been coaxing her with nice words before, but Feng Qingchen just didn't want to listen to him.

If it's too soft, then he has no choice but to be hard. If it's too hard, he's ready to play rogue and has even thought of his moves.

Feng Qingchen smiled warmly: "Sir, I am blind."

Mr. Gongsun gritted his teeth: "What's the matter with you? If you feed someone else, can you be irresponsible after that?"

Feng Qingchen faced Mr. Gongsun with a thoughtful expression.

Mr. Gongsun thought Feng Qingchen had changed his mind and was overjoyed: "What are you going to eat tonight? Military Master Feng."

Feng Qingchen said calmly: "I was wondering if the little girl would be like my husband, and her stomach would be firmly grasped by my food."

Mr. Gongsun almost couldn't lift it up in one breath, but when he was about to start cheating, Feng Qingchen had already used Qinggong to escape.

Mr. Gongsun was furious: "Who is he! This is him!"

On the high roof, Feng Qingchen listened to the soft sound of the north wind blowing in his ears, and said in a very indifferent tone: "What's the matter?"

The secret guard behind him lowered his voice: "Master, there is a letter from Lord Ling."

Feng Qingchen turned his face slightly, his face was like a crown jewel and his nose was straight: "But is there any news about Young Master Bai Qi?"
