Chapter 479
Chapter 479
The content of Bai Jinxiu's letter was to find out that Liang Wang's mansion and Jiuqu Lane Wang's family got together, and it turned out that Liang Wang's mansion was trading children with Jiuqu Lane Wang's family. In charge of the steward of Liang Wangfu.
The secret guards sent by Bai Jinxiu saw the two parties getting together with their own eyes, and heard from the steward of Prince Liang's mansion that they would want boys and girls under the age of ten in the future, and the next time they would have ten boys and ten girls, and then they would bring the ones brought by the Wang family. Five virgins and five virgins sneaked into Liang Wangfu.
Bai Qingyan lit the letter paper on fire, and put it into the brush washer when he saw that it was almost burned.
What does Liang Wangfu want children for?
The emperor has sent dark guards to protect Liang Wang's mansion, and Liang Wang brought ten children into the mansion, and the emperor would not be unaware.
Could it be... related to alchemy?
Bai Qingyan's palms tightened, and she sat on the chair and pursed her lips for a long time without saying a word.
Once Ji Langhua made such a fuss about the resurrection pill in the metropolis, the emperor seemed to be interested in this matter, and King Liang even took advantage of this to curry favor with the emperor with the pill.
A wave of blood rushed to the top of Bai Qingyan's head, and she felt a buzzing in her head.
If it was true as she guessed, King Liang would really dare to use children to make alchemy to curry favor with the emperor, which is not as good as a beast...
If the emperor knew about it, he would dare to take it, even if the emperor ordered it...
Then the imperial power of the Lin family in the state of Jin is really exhausted.
"Is Uncle Liu at the house?" Bai Qingyan turned to ask Aunt Tong.
"It should be here!" Tong Nanny said.
"Mommy, get someone to invite Uncle Liu and Housekeeper Hao, and wait for me in the front hall!" After Bai Qingyan finished speaking, she took up a pen and wrote back to Bai Jinxiu.
Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinxiu to send people to continue to watch the Wang family, not to startle the snake, and carefully send people to investigate the situation in Liang Wang's mansion, and keep the ten children safe if they can.
There are some things that are no longer suitable for the pregnant Bai Jinxiu to do, but the prince is just right.
After writing and sealing the letter to Bai Jinxiu, she wrote another letter to the prince.
Bai Qingyan told the prince that King Liang might be secretly refining the elixir behind the emperor's back, and that he was using children to make alchemy regardless of human life. If the prince could try to expose King Liang, he would be able to get rid of the prince's serious troubles.
Now that King Liang is about to marry Liu Ruofu, behind Liu Ruofu is King Xian who holds military power, and the crown prince is more anxious than anyone else.
If the prince were to know that the king of Liang was refining pills privately, he would definitely use it as a handle to deal with the king of Liang.
Even if the counselors behind the crown prince guessed that King Liang made the elixir for the emperor, but between preventing King Xian’s only daughter from marrying King Liang and offending the emperor, the crown prince would definitely choose to prevent King Xian’s only daughter Liu Ruofu from marrying King Liang .
Even though the prince is confident that he has the Bai family army in his pocket, but the Bai family army is far away in the southern border... The prince must be afraid in his heart.
And as long as King Liang's way to the top is blocked, except for those young ones, the emperor will only have the son of the prince who can take the big job, and he will not be able to compete with the prince.
In terms of weighing pros and cons, the old man next to the prince... will never disappoint.
Bai Qingyan sealed the two envelopes and took them to the front hall together.
Steward Liu and Steward Hao had been waiting for Bai Qingyan, and when they saw Bai Qingyan enter the door and retreat around the screen, they realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Uncle Liu, you send two reliable people to send these two letters to Dadu day and night, and this one is for Jinxiu!" Bai Qingyan also handed over another letter written by the prince himself, "This letter Send it to the Prince's Mansion!"
"Yes!" Guanshi Liu responded and went out.
"Housekeeper Hao, it's hard work for you to go to the prefect's mansion in person, and tell Shen Yancong... I'm going to inspect the Martial Arts Field tomorrow morning! By the way, check out the bandit-ridden area... How many families have reported missing children! " Bai Qing said.
Although Housekeeper Hao didn't know what Bai Qingyan meant by this, he knew that a big girl had her own way of doing things, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, big girl."
On the way back, Bai Qingyan heard about a lot of children being lost, but it was such a coincidence... Liang Wangfu took back ten children from the Jiuqu Lane Wangfu. It was hard for Bai Qingyan not to connect the two things together .
Steward Hao represents the Bai family, and this is well known in Shuoyang. Steward Hao went to the prefect's mansion. If the prefect wanted to show favor to Bai Qingyan, he would naturally tell Steward Hao everything he knew.
Seeing Guanshi Liu and Butler Hao coming out one after another, Chuntao stepped into the main hall.
The curtains and veils hanging on both sides of the black sandalwood pillars carved and painted with gold are held up by silver hooks, and the flames of the sixteen copper lamps flickering up and down, and the bright yellow lights reflect the thoughts of Bai Qingyan who is sitting beside him thinking. , like a picture of a beauty.
Chuntao felt sorry for Bai Qingyan who hadn't rested since she came back. She stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Miss, go back and rest earlier when you're done with your work! I just heard that...the fourth girl took a rest when she came back. Just now, Shaohua As soon as the hall was dispersed, the fourth girl was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and she was carried back by the nurse who served beside the third lady."
Only the eldest girl of their family closed her eyes and took a rest when she took a bath after entering the door, and she didn't stop.
Bai Qingyan nodded to Chuntao upon hearing the sound, got up and followed Chuntao along the veranda to the Poyun Courtyard, still thinking about the bandits robbing the children.
Although Lu Ping has not yet returned from Ji Tingyu's place, Bai Qingyan has a feeling that the bandits who robbed the child just because of the rampant banditry around Shuoyang, even dared to rob the Prince and Princess Zhenguo. The location was chosen near Shuoyang.
Regardless of whether the "bandits" who robbed the child were from the Wang family or the King of Liang, since they're here...then don't even think about leaving in full.
After all, Bai Qingyan's training for the people to suppress bandits was well known to everyone from the emperor down to Li Shu, and it was also an explanation to the emperor to use these so-called bandits to attack them.
Tomorrow, Bai Qingyan will go to the school to have a look. If you have already practiced to some extent, you can take it out for a try, so that those who are thinking about eating, drinking, and money will know that these food and money are not free. In the future, if someone still wants to enter the camp, they have to weigh it carefully.
Bai Qingyan didn't rest when she went back to the cloud courtyard, and asked Chuntao to tie a weighted iron sandbag for her to practice the silver gun. Chuntao and Nanny Tong were very distressed, but their girls always said they were the same, and no one could persuade her , they can only accompany the girl if she does not sleep.
It wasn't until Steward Hao returned from the prefect's mansion that Bai Qingyan put the silver gun back on the shelf, wiped off his sweat with a handkerchief, and asked Nanny Tong to ask Steward Hao to speak in the courtyard.
"The prefect said that the area under his jurisdiction now... plus the seven reported in today's report, a total of twenty-one children have been lost. Among the twenty-one children, a total of sixteen were robbed by bandits." Housekeeper Hao Standing beside Bai Qingyan, she bowed her eyes and said.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "I see, it's hard work for Housekeeper Hao, you go and rest!"
