The banquet was moved from the old gentleman's home to the magistrate's office.

The magistrate of Hangzhou personally accompanied him, and all officials from Hangzhou, big and small, came to pay their respects.

However, Bai Song had no interest in facing a banquet at this moment.

The current city of Hangzhou seems to be more chaotic than Yangzhou.

This cannot be solved by simply suppressing bandits, but the people have different minds and question and accuse each other. Because of the death of the old man, the conflict broke out.

Some scholars outside said that the old man deserved his death, and even his death could not make up for the smear he had brought to the scholars of Hangzhou.

Some people began to sympathize with the old gentleman and accused those people of driving the old gentleman to death.

As for the imperial envoys from the capital in Bai Song Dynasty, the literati spared no effort to insult them in all kinds of ways.

Moreover, Jiangnan scribes are really not afraid of death. They don't care about the court's attitude at all, and they are ready to die together.

Bai Song originally came here for Jianghu matters, but unexpectedly, by coincidence, he set off a cultural storm in Hangzhou.

The external situation made it difficult for the prefect to deal with it. When the imperial envoy came to Hangzhou, he saw such a chaotic scene. The court must have concluded that the local officials had neglected their duties. If they did not find a way to remedy the situation, they might not be able to keep their black gauze hats on their heads.

"Master Bai, do you want to arrest the people who are causing trouble outside? It's too shameful to speak so rudely." The prefect poured a glass of wine for Bai Song and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice.

Bai Song waved his hand: "No need."

"Master Bai, it was all because of the negligence of the subordinate officials that such bad things happened in the city. From now on..."

Bai Song raised his hand to interrupt, and the magistrate's heart sank, thinking that he was not even given a chance?

"I'm not here to care about the affairs of your civil servants. I will issue an official document starting tomorrow, saying that the imperial court has ordered all the rivers and lakes forces around Hangzhou to come and surrender. The deadline is one month. If you come to surrender to the imperial court within one month, , no matter what they have done in the past, the imperial court will forget the blame. But if they do not accept the imperial edict within a month, all sects will be recognized as rebels, and the imperial court will directly send troops to encircle and suppress them. "

The prefect nodded while listening, and quickly replied: "Don't worry, sir, I will go and deliver the message immediately."

Bai Song looked at the banquet table in front of him again. He had no appetite and threw away his chopsticks: "I'm going back to rest first."

The prefect prepared the finest villa for Bai Song to live.

There are waterside pavilions and pavilions in the garden, which fully reflect the style of the Jiangnan water town. The small courtyard with small paths is very poetic. Even a foreign woman like Jiumei, who is not familiar with poetry, was attracted by the scenery of the small courtyard.

Bai Song was in no mood. When he got to the room, he fell asleep.

Tian Ruoyun followed Bai Song all the way, and saw Bai Song so depressed for the first time, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

Tian Ruoyun gave him a bowl of porridge: "The death of the old gentleman was not my fault, so there is no need to worry so much."

Bai Song lay on the bed and did not respond.

Tian Ruoyun continued: "Master, please get up and have something to eat. I haven't eaten yet today."

At this time, Jiumei's voice came from outside the house: "Someone in Hangzhou City is deliberately provoking it, and that's why the literati are so indignant."

After hearing this, Bai Song immediately got up, walked outside, stared at Jiumei and asked, "Where did you get the news?"

"I ran into a person on Cai Street. He is an old member of my Ninja Sect who has been missing for many years."

"What?"

Can you still meet Japanese people in Hangzhou?

"That person was a traitor from the ninja sect. I bumped into her on the road today. She thought I was from the ninja sect and came to hunt her down. In the end, she was the first to attack. However, she had been using force against others for a long time, and her physical skills were much worse. She was already beaten by me. Captured in the courtyard."

"Oh? Take me to see it quickly."

In the backyard of the Villa, a peasant woman was tied under a tree.

Bai Song and Jiumei arrived, and the peasant woman struggled a few times.

"Don't be nervous. We have nothing to do with the Ninja Sect or Donghuang Pavilion. On the contrary, we and Donghuang Pavilion are still mortal enemies. If your identity is true, we can still be considered friends." Bai Song said Heshan.

The woman looked at Bai Song and said, "If what you say is true, then let me go."

"Just a few questions and I'll let you go."

Bai Song said and winked at Jiumei.

Jiumei stepped forward and untied the woman.

Bai Song asked: "Do you think the Hangzhou literati are so angry because someone secretly instigated them?"

"Yes!" the woman said firmly.

"How did you find out?"

"I am a traitor from Japan. I fled to Hangzhou a few years ago. I just want to live a peaceful life. However, I know that I have a special status, so I live on tenterhooks every day. I have to investigate carefully if there is any sign of trouble. Just a few months ago , someone in Hangzhou city deliberately used the Tang History incident to provoke discord, and the people gradually accumulated complaints, which led to today's situation."

"You mean you discovered it by accident?"

"yes."

"Who is spreading rumors?"

"Looks like a young master."

"Young young master?"

Bai Song's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this young master couldn't be his son Bai An, could he?

Using one person's power to stir up resentment among the people is not something that ordinary people can do.

Xiao Bai'an has been favored by thousands of people since he was a child, and has never had any fear. Moreover, he often visits the palace and has heard many secrets in the palace. If he leaks it because of a good thing, someone will flatter him. Suddenly, the desire for satisfaction is aroused, will you talk more and more?

The key is that Xiao Baian left Chang'an and went to Hangzhou a few months ago.

The other party is not said to be a young master, but a young master. No matter how you think about it, Bai An is the most suitable one.

And there is only one person, not a group.

When Bai Song thought about it, he felt more and more inappropriate.

Bai Song quickly asked about the young master's appearance and age, but when Fang Zhi heard the voice, he didn't look at everything. How could he know the details?

There was no other way, Bai Song could only send the woman away.

Then he quickly mentioned finding Bai An as the first priority.

The bastard doesn't know the heights of the world. If he caused this chaos, it would be a big sin.

"Call the prefect over."

Bai Song sent a message to the servants of Bieyuan.

The servant immediately went to do it, and within half an hour, the prefect arrived.

"Master Bai, are you in such a hurry to summon your subordinates? Is there something urgent?"

"Go and check immediately. Are there any five or six-year-old boys who have arrived in Hangzhou today in recent months? The characteristic... is that he is a brat and looks very mature. He uses all the information in the most practical way. Put it all together as quickly as possible."

"Yes Yes Yes Yes!"

The prefect had never seen Bai Song so nervous, so he quickly followed the instructions.

I originally thought this matter would be very troublesome. After all, there are so many people in Hangzhou. Looking for Bai An, wouldn't it be like finding a needle in a haystack?

But early the next morning, the prefect organized the news and found Bai Song.

In one night, the prefect learned that a five- or six-year-old young master really came to Hangzhou four months ago and made a lot of noise, so he immediately found out.
