Chapter 372 Subtle Influence

Chapter 372 Subtle influence

After the luxurious carriage entered the city, it was very eye-catching. I saw that the carriage passed through the busiest and bustling streets of Shuoyang City, slowly heading towards the remote houses in the east of the city, and stopped in front of a rather simple house.

"Miss, we're here." The guard who accompanied Lu Ping to see the mute before said to Bai Qing who was in the carriage.

Chuntao heard the sound and helped Bai Qingyan open the curtain of the carriage, and helped Bai Qingyan get out of the car...

Shuoyang is not as good as Dadu, the place where the common people live is a bit dilapidated, the two small black-painted front doors have been painted off, and the threshold has long been worn down so that the middle is sunken, revealing the color of gray wood, there is a persimmon tree planted in the courtyard , the branches stretched out of the courtyard wall, but fortunately they were cleaned up fairly cleanly.

Bai Qingyan and Chuntao stood at the door, watching the guards knock on the door.

Not long after, a woman in her thirties came over with a child in her arms and opened the door.

Seeing such a big battle outside the door, the woman felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "My lord... Who are you looking for?"

The guard bowed to the woman and said: "Sister-in-law, I am the guard of Zhen Guo County Lord's Mansion. This is my princess. My princess is here to see the dumb lady. May I ask where the mother-in-law who takes care of the mute is?" ?"

When the woman heard that it was a princess who came to see the dumb woman, she immediately showed panic and put down the child in her arms, not knowing whether to kneel or bless her.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too polite, is the dumb lady here?" Bai Qingyan asked.

The woman lowered her head, and held the hand of the two-year-old child next to her as if she was very frightened, and said uncomfortably, "That... the dumb girl was taken away by relatives."

Bai Qingyan frowned, and stared at the head with indifferent and deep eyes, not daring to raise the woman: "Was picked up by some relative? I remember... Someone in the Bai family gave money to take care of the dumb lady."

The woman was obviously panicked, Bai Qingyan added lukewarmly: "The dumb mother drowned and died, it's related to the Bai clan, do I need to ask County Magistrate Zhou to ask you for someone in person?"

The woman shuddered and knelt down with a plop, but she opened her mouth but couldn't tell where the dumb girl had gone.

"Say, where is the dumb girl?" Bai Qingyan's voice was as calm as water, but it made people feel full of murderous intent for no reason.

"Forgive me, princess. After my mother-in-law took in the dumb girl, my man was worried that the Bai clan would settle accounts with us, so he sent the dumb girl back to her home that night, but we didn't greedy for money. We didn’t keep any of the money that the big guard came to give us, and the dumb lady took it all back to her home!”

The woman was frightened by Bai Qingyan, and she explained everything cleanly: "Later, my mother-in-law got angry and beat my man with a cane, and asked my man to go to the next door to bring the dumb girl back, but my man was not found next door. Dumb girl, I waited at the door for a whole day and night but didn't see the dumb girl coming back. My man is still looking for the dumb girl outside...but I can't find it. Lying on the bed!"

There was a cry in the woman's voice, and her voice was urgent and fast, which didn't seem like a lie.

Although Bai Qingyan is angry, she also knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, which is human nature.

Without saying a word, she came to the door of the dumb woman's house. Seeing that the door was locked, she asked someone to go over the wall to check.

The guard came back after looking around and said that the door of the house was still open, there were still uneaten steamed buns in the pot on the stove, and the chickens were still there. It seemed that he didn't want to go far.

But the woman said that after waiting for a day and a night, the dumb girl did not come back.

Bai Qingyan clenched her fists tightly.

The mute child has beautiful features, is an orphan without the protection of her mother, and can't speak... If she encounters someone with evil intentions, there is no room to call for help. In addition, she is believed to have offended the Bai clan. Don't know what bad idea to play yet.

It is said that human nature is inherently good, but she feels that the human heart is dangerous and the world is dangerous, especially for a helpless orphan girl.

The dumb lady has been gone for two days, and no one can guarantee what will happen in between.

She clenched her fists and thought for a moment, then turned around, looked at the guards of the Bai family with her black eyes, and said quickly and steadily: "Leave one person waiting at the door of the dumb lady's house, and report immediately if the dumb lady comes back! Tell Quan Yu, we Use two guards from the Prince's Mansion, divide them into teams of five, beat gongs and drums, and drum up the entire Shuoyang City to find dumb girls."

Her voice paused, and she spoke faster: "The key point is to go to the place of Fireworks and Willow Lane, and preach loudly... Bai Qing, the princess of Zhenguo County, wants to find a dumb woman. Those who are safely sent to the ancestral hall of the Bai family, Bai Qingyan will offer you a thousand taels of silver as a thank you! If you don’t see the dumb girl before sunset, and I find out that the dumb girl is being held privately, you are my enemy and will be a disaster for your relatives .”

The dumb girl looks delicate and beautiful, if someone bullies the dumb girl and has no one to protect her, and takes them away forcibly... a large part of them may be sent to the place of fireworks and willow lanes. The dumb girl is back.

"yes!"

Bai Qingyan got into the carriage, closed his eyes, and couldn't suppress the boiling anger towards the clan in his heart. If the current patriarch of the Bai clan made such a ghostly appearance, there is no trace of the Bai family's appearance!

Knowing his mistakes and not correcting them, he didn't say anything, but in order to provoke the government, he casually threw innocent children and young girls into the river... Killing people is like a beast! The ancestors of the Bai family, the strength of the Bai family, have long since been thrown away by them!

Now Bai Qingyan finally understood why his grandfather did not allow the concubine and concubine of the Bai family to have contact with their biological mother, and could only be raised by their aunt's side.

The biological mother is a concubine, and her vision and methods are all inferior tricks of fighting for favor in the backyard. From a young age, even her temperament will be misled by the biological mother who is good at fighting for favor, and she will develop a vicious style, and subtly learn these things from childhood It will affect his whole life, affect the offspring, and the offspring born... One generation is not as good as one generation.

Even if it is recorded in the name of the aunt, it can't change the style.

The head of the Bai clan must be replaced, and the Bai clan must also be purged.

"Big girl..." Chuntao knew that Bai Qingyan was worried about the dumb girl, so she comforted her in a low voice, "The dumb girl will be fine, girl, don't worry too much."

"Go back to the ancestral house!" Bai Qingyan said with dark eyes.

Chuntao said to the groom who was driving: "Go back to the ancestral house."

The news that Bai Qingyan was going back to the ancestral house soon came back to the ancestral house, and Gu Gu took all the servants of the Bai family to wait at the gate of the ancestral house early.

When Gu Gu accompanied Lu Ping to escort the first batch of objects back to Shuoyang last time, he went back to the ancestral house first.

In the past, when Bai Weiting, the king of the town, was still there, he would go back to Shuoyang early every year to take care of it, and he was in charge of giving the clan silver. The deterrent effect on the servants of the Shuoyang residence must be greater than other people.

Since ancient times, he has been in Shuoyang, and he has been ruthless and straightforward. He will stay in Shuoyang to take care of the house, and a contracted manager will break his leg, and the whole family will sell it.
