Chapter 702 Questioning
Nanny Tong saluted, walked out of the main hall with her servants and servants, and stood guard at the door.
"Mr. Shen, get up and talk." Bai Qingyan put one hand on the small table, propped himself up and leaned against the hidden pouch.
Eunuch Shen stood up in response, sat at Bai Qingyan's lower seat, and slowly said to Bai Qingyan: "Princess Zhenguo asked Bai Qingping to check me. I expected it, but it was unexpected. Hurry up, I admire Princess Zhenguo's extraordinary insight."
"I'm not fully recovered yet, so Governor Shen still picks out the important things to say. After listening... I can go to rest and recuperate." Bai Qingyan listened impatiently to these flattering words.
Taishou Shen smiled, looked at Bai Qingyan and said, "Your Majesty, you are the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, that is, your father, Princess Zhenguo, and Bai Qishan stayed in Shuoyang... to prepare the way for the Bai family. "
Bai Qingyan's palms tightened, tightly clutching the fringed tassels of the hidden bag, but his face was calm and calm: "I don't understand what Shen Taishou said. My Bai family has always been loyal to the great advancement and there is no way out. , my grandfather brought all the boys of my Bai family to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, because he did not leave a way for the Bai family to train successors for the Jin country. Isn't it funny that the prefect is my Bai family's back? "
"And..." Bai Qingyan said with a slow smile, "Even if my father wants to leave a way for the Bai family, he should find the same blood relatives of the Bai family. My grandfather and father have always trusted the family. How could you not ask for help from the clan... but find you an outsider."
"Princess Zhenguo knows better than someone Shen what the virtues of the Bai clan are." When Taishou Shen said this, his eyebrows and eyes were all dismissive of the Bai clan. False, it doesn't mean that the eldest son thinks the same way, Princess Zhen Guo is the biological daughter of the eldest son, she should understand better than anyone else."
Bai Qingyan curled her lips into a smile: "Unfortunately, I don't understand. What I've seen and known...is all grandfather and father's trust in the people of the clan."
It's not surprising that Bai Qingyan said so, Prefect Shen. He already understood that Bai Qingyan walked on thin ice this way. If he hadn't been overly cautious, how could he have led the Bai family to this day? He never thought that this time he would be able to Gain Bai Qingyan's trust.
However, seeing people's hearts after a long time, Taishou Shen is confident that one day Bai Qingyan will believe him.
"At the beginning, Shizi didn't leave any tokens or evidence to the lower official, so the lower official's words are also groundless, and it's reasonable for Zhen Guo Princess not to believe it." Shen Taishou lowered his eyes and said unhurriedly, "At that time, Shen A certain person lost a bet with the Shizi, so he agreed to the Shizi and stayed in Shuoyang to become the retreat of the Bai family. At the beginning, the Shizi left me two secret guards, but unfortunately... these two secret guards, and later one He died of illness, and one died to protect Yan, which is why Shen asked his youngest son Yan Cong to enter the military camp to serve Princess Zhenguo."
What Shen Taishou said was not a lie. He stayed in Shuoyang for so many years because of a bet with Bai Qishan at the beginning, so that there is a saying in Shuoyang official circles, which is called a magistrate of iron, and a county magistrate of flowing water.
There were many magistrates in Shuoyang, and they were all transferred to other places in the end, or they were promoted, or served as prefects in other places in Jin State. Only he has been guarding Shuoyang for so many years.
He was just...for a promise.
For the sake of the promise made to Bai Qishan, if one day he is gone... If the Bai family is in trouble, and the members of the Bai family are fortunate enough to be able to return to Shuoyang, please try to protect the members of the Bai family on the boundary of Shuoyang.
Bai Qishan has long seen that he is not someone who is willing to be loyal to the imperial court of the Jin Kingdom, that's why he dared to bet with him, and after he lost the bet, he dared to tell him... Let him become the Bai family's retreat in Shuoyang.
To be honest, at the beginning, Prefect Shen just stayed because of his promise, thinking that if the orphan of the Bai family did not return to Shuoyang and died in Dadu, it would have nothing to do with him, if he was smart enough, he would return to Shuoyang, and then he would do it again arrange.
Naturally, if most of the Bai family can't deal with the Bai clan... then it's not in his bet with Bai Qishan, he is only responsible for the safety of the Bai family members, and he will never show himself in front of the Bai family in his life .
But he really didn't expect that Bai Qishan's daughter would be too powerful.
Since the death of the members of the Bai family in southern Xinjiang, Shen Taishou has been paying attention to the news of the Bai family in Dadu. Since Bai Qingyan borrowed the coffin from the world, this woman who was originally insignificant in Shen Taishou's heart has been doing things that frighten him. Step by step, she worked hard to get the position of the princess of Zhenguo, became the confidant of the current prince, trained soldiers in the name of suppressing bandits, and benefited the people of Shuoyang and many neighboring counties.
To be honest, Taishou Shen looked down on the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, but he was very willing to be loyal to Bai Qingyan. He was completely overwhelmed by the intelligence and courage of the little girl in front of him.
Bai Qingyan looked at the prefect Shen with a sense of sizing up, and rubbed his fingers lightly, remembering that the guards of the Shen family who were training in Shuoyang had a bit of the shadow of the Bai family army, this... makes sense.
Taishou Shen sat there generously and let Bai Qingyan look at him, like a gentleman standing upright, with bright eyes.
"When Zeng and Shizi met in Shuoyang, I planned to resign from office and travel around the world for the rest of my life. Shizi invited me to join the Bai family army, but I didn't want to join the Bai family army and submit to others, and I was also subject to military regulations. In comparison... I prefer to be an official in Shuoyang."
Bai Qingyan pursed her lips and listened quietly to what Shen Taishou said.
"Later, Princess Zhenguo challenged the Bai family on her shoulders, and won a great victory in the South and North Wars. Shuoyang trained troops and made profits for the people. Shen admired him very much. He wanted to join Princess Zhenguo's family several times, but Zhenguo The princess is very guarded, I can only let my son enter the barracks with the subordinates from the two dark guards who were sent to me by the elder son, thinking that if Princess Zhenguo sees the clue, she will definitely send someone to investigate."
Shen Taishou explained the cause and effect very clearly.
But in this world where rites and music are broken... If there are still people willing to stay in Shuoyang for so long because of a bet, and they can't produce any evidence, I'm afraid it's not completely credible.
Therefore, when Taishou Shen came to express his feelings to Bai Qing, he felt a little uneasy and uneasy in his heart.
He could tell that... this princess of Zhen Guo was different from Bai Qishan, the eldest son of Duke Zhen Guo.
Princess Zhenguo experienced her grandfather being betrayed by the lieutenant in the First World War in Southern Xinjiang, and experienced all kinds of things in the treacherous metropolis. Compared with Bai Qishan, Princess Zhenguo must have less trust in others, and more A little bit of doubt, this is all as it should be.
