"Brother Bai?"
Several government officials looked at Bai Song dumbfounded.
Everyone was speechless.
What did your heart say?
Is this case related to this guy?
This guy Bai Song is really capable. This guy took over all the cases this month.
How come everything has something to do with this guy?
"Brothers, I'm about to report the crime." Bai Songlian said.
"This person is accusing you of having money from unknown sources in your home. What else do you want to accuse you of?"
"The grassroots are here for this."
As he spoke, Bai Song told him exactly how he met Xue He and what Xue He promised to give him as a thank you gift.
Finally, I mentioned the boy and said that he gave me a box of silver.
"The grassroots are an honest man. I have never seen so much money in my life. I heard that the money comes from military pay and is not available to ordinary people. So I brought the money to the county government office and wanted the county magistrate to see what this money can do. Can’t accept it?”
Bai Song looked honest and courteous, took out the brocade box, and then looked at the boy.
The boy was stunned. He thought to himself, is there such a fool in the world?
Don’t even want the free money?
And you took the initiative to send it to the Yamen?
Since Bai Songdu took the initiative to send the money, his intention was very clear, and he wanted the county magistrate to tell him whether he could accept it.
Regardless of whether the origin of the money is clean or not, the matter has nothing to do with Bai Song.
The yamen servant glanced at the boy: "Tell me, is what he said true?"
"No... no... I don't know this person."
"You don't know me, so why do you know that I have shady money in my family?"
"I...I..." the boy hesitated, his eyes evasive, "I heard that from somewhere else! Someone saw that you have money at home."
"Who is it? Go and find someone right away." The officer shouted, grabbed the boy and walked out.
This boy was obviously not very intelligent. He was frightened by the officer and did not expect the situation in front of him. He immediately panicked and said, "Yes... yes... I gave it to you..."
Bai Song smiled: "Brother, you gave me money and then came to the Yamen to sue me. What's the reason?"
"I...I won't sue..."
"You come to this county government office and leave as soon as you want?" The government servant gave up and stared, "Let's go! Come in with me and tell Mr. Chai clearly!"
The boy was dragged back to the county government office, and Bai Song followed him.
When they arrived at the court, Bai Song presented the silver.
After hearing what happened, Mr. Chai immediately knew that the boy was behind the scenes.
Immediately asked: "What do you want to do by framing others like this?!"
After a few minutes of calming down, the boy calmed down. Not only was he no longer panicked, but he felt more confident: "Master Chai, although this matter was planned by my master, it was also secretly instructed by the governor and the Zheng family. If you are aware of current affairs, , then punish this person! He secretly hid military pay, which is a serious matter that will lose his head. Why don't you take this person down quickly?"
"Zheng family, Zheng family again!" Bai Song frowned and looked at Mr. Chai.
The Zheng family's intention to persecute Bai Song was obvious, and what happened today was no surprise.
Bai Song wanted to see how Magistrate Chai would respond when he heard this.
I saw Magistrate Chai stroking his long beard and laughing. He suddenly slapped the crowd and said angrily: "What a cunning man, how dare you talk nonsense in the court! How noble the governor and the Zheng family are, how can they compete with you?" This little guy is complicit, come here! Give me a hard beating!"
The next second, the yamen servant was not polite. He dragged the boy out and beat him with sticks until he was almost alive. He dragged him back and asked again: "Now, who ordered it!"
"What I said is true, that is... that is... the governor and the Zheng family..."
"It seems that you are still unwilling to plead guilty, so give me another beating."
When the boy heard this, he was frightened out of his wits.
After a round of fighting like this, I can't even save my life.
Then he changed his mind and said, "My master said it. He told me to just do it. If there is a governor... no, no, no... it was my master who said that the Bai Song Dynasty killed the Xue family. Although my master has left the Xue family, I am a family of my own, but I remember my old relationship and want to avenge Mr. Xue. So I framed him..."
"Mr. Xue is Doctor Xue?"
"Exactly."
After hearing this, Magistrate Chai already understood, but his brows furrowed and he looked at the master beside him.
The master whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid if the Zheng family and the governor are really supporting me, then the Zheng family will definitely put this white boy to death. Sir, do you still want to protect this person?"
Chai Guan thought about it and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to protect him. Escort the thief to Ji County and hand it over to the governor. Let's say that this person slandered the governor and the Zheng family in the court to jointly frame good people. In addition, he was involved in the official bank. And hand it over to the Governor."
Master Liang smiled, extended his thumb and praised: "This is a clever move, sir. The Zheng family does not dare to take justice in this matter, and will definitely hand all the blame to this person. We will not overstep our bounds, and we will not offend others."
Chai Guan nodded: "That's how we deal with this matter, withdraw from the court."
Several government officials pressed the boy away.
Then Magistrate Chai stopped Bai Song again.
There was no one in the courtroom, Chai Guan called Bai Song to the back hall, and Master Liang chased after him with a box of silver in the hall.
When he arrived at the back hall, Chai Guan sat down directly, drank tea, looked at Bai Song, and asked with a smile: "Bai Song, how are you? I have solved another problem for you. How are you? Have you thought about it? Do you want it? Good at reading?"
It's okay not to mention reading, but when it comes to reading, Bai Song feels resentful in his heart.
In order to force himself to study, this old man actually paid attention to his own family.
Bai Song's expression was calm, but his heart was filled with anger.
Chai Guan watched his words carefully and knew what he was thinking. He smiled again and said: "I know you have complaints in your heart, but everything I say and do is for your and my future. We came from a poor family together. If you can become a successful person in the future, you can also be a good person." I’ll give you a hand.”
"Yes, yes, there is someone Liang, hehe." Master Liang interjected with a silly look that was inexplicably funny.
Bai Song waved his hand impatiently: "So, we are in the same boat, right?"
"You can say that, but I am the one at the helm, and you are the ship's passenger."
"Does that mean if I behave badly, you will kick me off the boat at any time?"
Chai Guan nodded and drank tea without commenting.
"Okay, no matter what, I still have to thank Mr. Chai today. But, since everyone admits that we are riding in the same boat, it is natural that we share the blessings and share the hardships."
With that said, Bai Song walked towards Master Liang.
Chai Guan and Master Liang both frowned and looked at Bai Song.
Bai Song walked slowly to Master Liang and took a piece of silver from the brocade box.
"What are you doing?" Chai Guan asked warily.
Bai Song pretended not to listen, took out another tablet, and put it into Master Liang's pocket.
"One for me, one for you, Master Chai also gets one..."
"You...you...you are so brave!" Chai Guan stood up immediately and grabbed Bai Song's wrist, "This is official silver!"
"I know it."
"If you take it if you know it, you will risk your life!"
"Don't worry, there are only three of us on the same boat here, take some, who knows?"
Bai Song smiled and continued to take the silver from the brocade box. As he took it, he said, "This silver came from the home of the medicine merchant Xue He, but Xue He didn't dare to recognize it. After he recognized it, he soon admitted that he had hidden the official silver." ?Since no one dares to recognize it, no one knows how much silver is in this brocade box. Who dares to say that there is not enough silver in this brocade box, that proves that there is something wrong with him.
Even if the brocade box is delivered to the governor, the governor will not ask any questions. How much relationship can a drug dealer have with the governor and the Zheng family? Probably not even a chess piece. This is at most a loss for the drug dealers, so who cares?
Besides, how can you make me feel at ease when you keep saying that you are on the same boat and you don’t even take advantage of this convenience? Isn't it true that people have to rely on blood to become allies when they worship the boss? Let's not be so clichéd. We each take some money and treat it as an alliance. "
Bai Song said as he stuffed money into the two of them.
The firewood manager felt that his hands were a little hot while holding the silver, and he frowned and said, "This is greed!"
"Why not be greedy if we can be greedy? We are not greedy for the people, disaster relief, the army, or the court. What we are greedy for comes from others."
"This is military pay, so why isn't it from the army?"
"Since it is military pay, if all of it is submitted, will it be used as military pay?"
"Master Chai, don't say any more. Bai Song is right, we can use this money! If we don't take it, sooner or later it will be taken away by the superiors."
After that, Master Liang took Bai Songsai's money in one go.
After going back and forth, the three of them took forty taels each and left.
Even if it is traced down in the future and the money is cut out, it will never be found.
Before leaving the county government, Bai Song gave Mr. Chai another ingot of silver.
Chai Guan was a little afraid of this boy, frowned and asked: "What else do you have planned?"
"Last time, my lord arranged for ten taels of silver to be used as payment. Naturally, the property must be returned to its original owner. We don't take advantage of others."
"If you can study hard, I will be satisfied."
"Don't worry, don't worry, read it when you get home. After learning and practicing it, don't you say that you won't be happy when friends come from far away? If you don't know it, you won't be surprised. Isn't that a gentleman? I understand, I understand..."
…
In a few days, Bai Song accumulated nearly fifty taels of silver.
The money left in Xiaomang County was enough for the Qu family and sister to squander for a while.
Today, the Zheng family is causing trouble again. On the surface, Bai Song seems to be calm, but in his heart, he has lost his patience.
At night, Bai Song called his sister and Sang Sang together.
Under the night, Bai Song made a decision.
"I'm going to Ji County, you should take care of yourself."
"elder brother……"
"Brother Bai..."
"Okay, I know what you are going to say, but I have made up my mind. I must do this well, otherwise I will not be able to rest at ease."
Bai Song's expression was solemn. The two girls had never seen Bai Song passing by like this.
They all understood it and knew they couldn't stop it.
My sister's eyes were wet and she asked in a low voice: "When will the brother come back?"
Bai Song pointed to the vegetable garden behind: "I will definitely be able to return before the potatoes bear fruit."
Sangsang looked back at the green sprouts in the small vegetable garden, feeling a little annoyed. If he had known this, he would have taken more care of those novel things.
