The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 308
The children were very happy to see Bai Ziyu. What is rare is that the old ghost king and the great elder have been living in the ghost king's mansion, taking good care of the children, which made Bai Ziyu very grateful.And he just finished dinner in the mansion, and Qianzong issued an order to let Bai Ziyu enter the palace immediately to answer.Therefore, Bai Ziyu had to simply tidy up and came to the imperial study.

Qianzong sighed when he saw Bai Ziyu, but he didn't ask about the Bai family first. Instead, he first learned about the situation on the front line and Yun Yuhong's situation. He was relieved when he learned that Yun Yuhong was all right. Then Qian Zong took out a letter and said to Bai Ziyu: "This is a letter specially sent by Hong'er. In the letter, it repeatedly said that you and Ziren are innocent, but as descendants of the Bai family, you have your own unavoidable circumstances. It is said that it is best not to let you intervene in the affairs of the Bai family. If you have to suppress it first, everything will be dealt with after she comes back. This is also feasible, but the situation has changed, and I want to hear your opinion. "

Bai Ziyu was moved by the confidence in her hands after reading it. Yun Yuhong was devoted to him, afraid of making things difficult for him, afraid of getting implicated in him, pity her not only to take care of the war, but also think about the imperial court in Beijing, and him, what will happen again? How hard.Fortunately, Qian Zong loves Hong Er very much, trusts her very much and obeys her words, otherwise, just because the Bai family found out Bai Qixian, he should be imprisoned.

Gathering his mind, Bai Ziyu pondered. The matter was caused by moldy military rations and poisonous weeds in the fodder. It was found that these problematic items were sent by Qizhou. It may be related to Li Changwang, the son-in-law of the Jingguo Marquis, but there is no evidence yet However, Bai Qixian, the owner of the Medicine King Valley, was found in the Jingguo Hou Mansion today, a person who fled to Chiyan and was related to Chiyan, so the Bai family would not be able to escape from this matter anyway.However, the scene in the old lady's courtyard today was strange. The second master Bai obviously wanted to kill the old master Hou, and the Bai mansion seemed to be controlled by others, but here is a suspicious point, maybe we can start from here.

Bai Ziyu asked, "Does the Emperor know how the Marquis of Jingguo is doing now?"

Qian Zong replied: "I heard that he was given a chronic poison. He is currently in the Tai Hospital. Do you mean that he is the key to the whole thing?"

Bai Ziyu nodded his head and said: "The matter of the Jingguo Marquis's Mansion is unusual. If he appeals, everything may be different. This matter should have been spread. Tomorrow's morning court may be very lively. I will not be inconvenient to introduce it." If you come forward to defend yourself, maybe the Marquis of Yasukuni can do it."

Qian Zong nodded, and asked people to pass on the message to Marquis Jingguo. After a while, Marquis Jingguo was helped by two young eunuchs. At this time, he looked carefully, and he was a tall and strong old man, and his face was sallow. It looked like a person who had suffered a lot.

After seeing the ceremony for Emperor Qianzong, Marquis Jingyuan looked at Bai Ziyu beside him, but with tears in his eyes, he knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, you have to decide for the old minister."

Qian Zong asked: "What happened? Didn't Lord Hou say that he was sick? Why did the imperial physician say that he was poisoned? What happened at the bottom? Tell me in detail."

Jing Yuanhou still couldn't hold back, tears fell, and replied: "Your Majesty, this matter has to start before I was poisoned. A few days ago, I found out that my second son brought back a Young man, this young man is very weird. He stays at home all day long and doesn’t see anyone. However, he spread some poison around the yard and accidentally killed the servant girl in the mansion. So I asked my second child who he was, If you don’t understand, let him leave the Hou Mansion and don’t live here. Then I suddenly fell ill and fell asleep all day long, knowing nothing.”

"Why did Lord Hou fight with Second Lord today?" Bai Ziyu asked suspiciously.It's not a trivial matter for Bai Erye to kill his father. What makes him do such a rebellious thing is the key.

Hou Jingguo's eyes were red again, and he said after a long while: "Today, I was confused and heard that Ziyu was back, just outside the door, I wanted Ziyu to come in and meet him, but no one paid any attention, so I hit him in a fit of anger. I broke the medicine bowl and started arguing with my wife. This anger made me a lot more energetic. I was about to go out, but was stopped by my unfilial son. Knowing that the city defenders were about to surround the Hou's Mansion, I questioned the identity of that mysterious man, and he was impatient with my questioning, so..." Old Hou covered his face with his sleeves, he didn't want people to see his embarrassment at this time, but Thinking about the situation at that time, the son was determined to kill him, but his wife watched silently, he was very sick, and he was in the whole Marquis mansion but no one paid any attention to it. None of the waiting guards around him appeared in front of him to help him. He, the Marquis of Jingguo, had also lived a glorious life, so how did he end up in such a state.

Qianzong couldn't help but sigh, wanting to persuade but didn't know what to say. Bai Ziyu stepped forward and patted the back of Jingguo Hou, feeling uncomfortable. This old man was good to him at first, at least when he was young, he treated him well. He took him with him and taught him carefully, and he also had a grandparent's affection for him at that time. Although he was regarded as an abandoned son later, it was mostly out of family interests.He hated and resented before, but now he saw that he had betrayed his relatives, but he didn't feel happy at all. Perhaps, these wishes had already been let go.

Hou Jingguo's mood gradually calmed down, he raised his head and asked Bai Ziyu, "Ziyu, do you know what's going on?"

Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure about the details, it's mostly guesswork. I came back because there were frequent problems with the grain and grass sent to the army, and General Wang, who transported the grain, said that once the grain was taken from Qizhou, I was worried about something, so I rushed back."

"Qizhou, grain and grass? They dare, they dare!" Jing Guohou was very excited when he heard this, and he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Bai Ziyu continued: "As soon as I came back, I went to the big warehouse of the household department, and found that there was indeed a problem with the grain shipped from Qizhou, so I wanted to go back to the mansion to inquire about the situation, but I didn't want to be turned away." Stopped, Bai Ziyu said again: "The mysterious person captured from the Baifu is Bai Qixian, the owner of the Valley of the Medicine King, that is, the person who defected to Chiyan and sacrificed the strange poison to kill the ghost king. The ghost king ordered the whole world to hunt him down. , and put pressure on Chi Yan to hand over Bai Qixian, Bai Qixian has been missing since then, but unexpectedly hid in the capital."

Marquis Jingguo was stunned again, Bai Qixian escaped from Chiyan, and the grain and grass transported in the army were poisonous, which is tantamount to linking the Bai family with Chiyan, now it is wartime, so this is Now it is tantamount to saying that the Bai family is treasonous!The ancestors of the Bai family have been the pillars of the country for several generations and are admired by all people. How come there are traitors in his generation.Don't be afraid of the Bai family's decline, as long as they keep their title and have a vigorous descendant, they will make a comeback. If the fame of the whole life is ruined, the Bai family will be completely over.

Hou Jingguo suddenly shouted: "The Zhou family, it's the Zhou family. All of this was arranged by the Zhou family. That man was brought back from the Zhou family by the second child. It's all a trick of the Zhou family. Your Majesty, all of this is Zhou's plan." The head of the family envoy."

Qian Zong was shocked when he heard this, and exchanged glances with Bai Ziyu, Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said: "It's also possible, the emperor has already brought the case here, so let's continue the trial and bring the old lady and Bai Ziyu to court." The second master also brought him here to make sure." If it was true that everything was entrusted by the Zhou family and the White House was just being deceived, then the matter would be much simpler.

Qian Zong also thought of this, Hong'er begged him to protect Brother Bai Ziyu, if the Bai family was accused of collaborating with the enemy, how could the two get rid of the relationship.But if it was just being used and considered a victim, it would be quite different.So people went to mention the relevant criminals, and Qian Zong was going to have a trial in person.

After a while, the old couple Bai and the second master Bai were brought up. Hou Jingguo stepped forward and slapped the second master Bai first, and cursed: "You rebellious son, you want to make the Bai family confiscate the family and exterminate the family, and cut off all children and grandchildren!"

Qian Zong said to Hou Jingguo: "Master Hou, don't get angry, if you haven't figured out this matter, maybe he was also deceived."

Bai Erye was stunned and looked up at Qian Zong, but saw that there was no killing intent in Qian Zong's eyes, so he began to think about it, and cried: "Father, my son is wrong, my son knows his mistake, and my son doesn't want to do this. .”

Qian Zong asked: "How did you tell the truth about what happened?"

Bai Erye thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, my father has always wanted to invite Brother Bai Ziyu back to the Marquis, and also said that he would pass the position of Marquis to Ziren. Do something out of the ordinary, until that day, I went to the Zhou Mansion to meet my uncle, he said that as long as I listen to his arrangement, he will definitely let me be the next master of the Hou Mansion, I, I will believe it, and then Let me bring that person back. Other things, I, I..."

Second Master Bai didn't say any more, but just glanced at Old Madam Bai intentionally or unintentionally, actually pushing other matters onto his mother.

The old lady Bai put a blank face on her face, and said coldly: "Yes, I arranged all of this. It was I who poisoned Lord Hou, and I was the one who kept Ziyu out, and it was I who ordered the second child to kill him." Father, I arranged all of this."

Jing Guohou said angrily: "Why, you and I have been husband and wife for decades, and I haven't treated you well enough. You exclude the heirs of the big house. Did I say anything to you? You want me to cultivate the second child, and you want the second child Did I say no to the position of marquis? It's just that he didn't live up to his expectations and ruined his bright future, so you would do this."

The old lady Bai said coldly: "I know you are good to me, but who changed your heart, you actually saw brother Bai Ziyu climbing up to the princess, and the future is bright, you only think about the two brothers, I think about them all the time, and say that their brothers can only inherit the title of Marquis. Since I married into Baizi, I have worked hard for decades, so that my children have a good future. How could I let you spend so many years of hard work on me? all destroyed."
