Chapter 960 The Old Scholar's Background

Bai Yunxi nodded, worthy of being the emperor's favorite, smart.

"We can't think about this matter. Didn't mother test it? Let's see what the Tang family does before making plans."

If the Tang family takes it seriously, they will definitely take the initiative to come to the door to find out the reason. They just need to cooperate actively, and everything will be happy.

If they don't care at all, there is no need for them to be warm and stick to their cold butts.

Their Bai family is now a new noble in Kyoto, so there is no need to go to the pole to curry favor.

Moreover, as far as he knows, his father was very miserable when he fell to Liushu Bay. A young man from a noble family appeared in such a poor and remote place. If there was no conspiracy theory during the period, he himself would not believe it.

So, what is the situation of the Tang family, wait and see, and then make plans.

Listening to Xiaowu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi nodded, which coincided with her thoughts. Anyway, she has put out the bait, and whether the other party will take the bait depends on them.

"You've thought it through very carefully. We really don't need to be anxious. We are not the ones who should be anxious."

Mrs. Tang must have a plan when she returns to the mansion.

As for the next step, they just have to wait. Anyway, the real owner is dead. It doesn't matter whether it's late or not.

The mother and son reached a consensus. Bai Yunxi looked at her son seriously and raised her eyebrows. "If the Tang family lets you recognize your ancestors, are you willing?"

Xiao Wu's eyebrows jumped, looking at the teasing look of his mother, pursing his lips.

"We just need to know what our father's status is in the Tang family. Let's forget about recognizing our ancestors. The Tang family is now full of talents. In their eyes, our brothers are nothing at all?"

Besides, why should they recognize their ancestors?

He just wants an answer.

Besides, they live with their mother in Willow Bay, where they grew up. There are many indelible memories there, and the Bai family members have long been accustomed to it. There is no need to add another layer of restraint to myself.

"Then you have a good rest. Don't worry about anything in the next two days. Everything will be covered by mother."

Bai Yunxi took the jade card, comforted softly, and took people back to her yard.

Next, she just had to wait for the actions of the Tang family.

After Wenyou came back, Bai Yunxi directly asked her to investigate the news of Xiaowu's assassination. As for the Tang family, it would not be too late to investigate later.

The news that Bai Xiaowu was attacked on the road had spread everywhere, and Jingzhao Prefecture also dispatched. The yamen runners appeared on the street with gloomy faces, scaring the people to avoid them. The sudden appearance of the court official on the New Year disrupted everyone's vacation.

None of the people who were forced to go to work had a good face. Everyone looked like they owed money and were gloomy.

"Damn it, they can't even let me have a peaceful year. I was just about to accompany my wife to burn incense and pray for blessings, but they were pulled back halfway."

"Who said it wasn't? I don't know which desperate person chose this time to assassinate Lord Bai. Everyone in Kyoto knows that Bai Hanlin is a favorite of the government. Isn't this plucking hair from the tiger's mouth?"

"Okay, everyone, cheer up and don't look so gloomy. The master said that this matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise there will be no explanation to Lord Bai."

After these words came out, everyone was silent for a while, and followed him resignedly.

"Zhang, the crime scene has been destroyed long ago. How can we investigate?"

"We have to investigate it, and be more careful. You guys should visit separately. Don't miss any of the people around the crime scene. See if anyone has seen any suspicious people or suspicious things. If you dare to do this in broad daylight, no matter how clean the tail is, there will be some traces left."

"Yes,"

Watching the brothers investigate separately, Guard Zhang wiped his face. Today, he was caught by friends before he had enough wine.

On the long street, the government offices shuttled back and forth. The originally bustling streets were also much quieter. No one wanted to be contaminated by bad luck during the New Year.

Tang Family,

As soon as Mrs. Tang returned to the mansion, she immediately asked her confidant, "Where is the master?"

"Reply to the old lady, the master went out to meet friends in the morning and stayed in the study in the afternoon."

"Go and ask the master to come,"

Mrs. Tang changed into a casual dress, sat on the Luohan bed, reached out to take the hot tea handed by the maid, took a sip, and her mind was racing.

Her mother-in-law was the second wife of the Tang family, and her own master was also the son of the second wife.

It is said that before her mother-in-law entered the family, the original wife also had a son, who was the eldest son of the family, the eldest son in the family, and had been raised by the old lady... Later, it was heard that at a temple fair, the eldest son was separated from his family, and the old lady gathered the whole family to find him, and finally reported to the government, asking the government to assist in the search, but in the end, nothing was found.

The old lady could not bear the blow and passed away. Later, her mother-in-law also passed away, and the matter gradually faded.

Now someone suddenly came out and told her that she also had a jade pendant of the Tang family.

All the children of the Tang family have a jade card in their hands, each with their own name.

And the quality of the jade card also matches their identity. For example, she and her little grandson carry mutton-fat white jade, which is the best quality jade.

If what Bai Shuren said today is true, then the jade card in her hand may be the eldest son of the Tang family, that is, her uncle whom she has never met.

With such speculation in mind, Madam Tang raised her head and drank the tea in the cup. At the age of a grandmother, she had seen a lot of secrets in the backyard of the mansion.

It was so difficult for a legitimate son without the protection of his biological mother to make a living under the stepmother. Even if he was protected by the lady, there would be times when he was negligent.

It is easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. How can we guard against thieves all day long?

While she was deep in thought, Tang Yushi came in with his hands behind his back, "You came back early today?"

Looking at the master who was calm and composed, Mrs. Tang poured him a cup of tea.

"Sir, we met Bai Shuren at Putuo Temple today. Our sister Yuan likes the little girl from the Bai family very much. She holds her hand and never lets go, just like a real sister."

I just thought it was funny before, but now maybe it's really a blood connection.

"Bai Hanlin is very popular with the officials. If you can get along with the Bai family, you can move around."

Tang Yushi sat down opposite her and spoke softly.

"It's not easy for our sister Yuan to meet a friend who we can play with."

Listening to the master's tone, Mrs. Tang almost trembled at the corners of her mouth.

"Master, the Bai Shuren I met today is very strange. She said she has a jade plaque in her hand that is exactly the same as Brother Xuan's."

Tang Yushi frowned, it was exactly the same, ridiculous... Just as he raised the corner of his mouth, he suddenly raised his head and looked at his old wife,

"Have you seen the exact same jade plaque?"

Seeing the master's surprised expression, Mrs. Tang instantly felt that her guess was true, "She didn't bring it with her, and she said that if I was curious, I could just go to the house to check."

Tang Yushi was silent, put down the tea cup, and spoke after a while, "Since the other party has come to the door, it should be good."

"What do you mean by this, sir?"
