"You know it too?" Bai Song was a little curious about how much influence a book could have, and why it seemed like the news had spread all over the world in just one day.
Ouyang Yanran swallowed and looked a little nervous: "Can you please let my brother go?"
"Your brother?"
"Ouyang Xun was ordered to collect literature and history from the Jiangnan area a year ago for documentary research on "History of the Tang Dynasty". Later, he was arrested and taken to Chang'an because he offended some adults. He is still imprisoned in Dali Temple."
"Is he locked up in Dali Temple?"
Bai Songyi frowned.
If you offend some superiors, being imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment for one year is already a serious crime, but being imprisoned in Dali Temple does not seem to offend ordinary adults, right?
Ordinary prisoners are not eligible to be detained by Dali Temple, unless the crime is serious or the case is doubtful and there is no conclusive evidence.
Bai Song thought for a while and asked, "Miss, is this the reason why you want to come to Chang'an?"
Ouyang Yanran did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Brother is the most outstanding talent of the Ouyang family in the past century, and the only candidate for the heir of the Ouyang family. He plays a vital role in our Ouyang family. Please look at Yanran's support all the way." As a matter of love...save him."
"Why have you concealed the matter of rescuing people until now? For me, it is not difficult to catch a prisoner. Although it is a bit tricky in Dali Temple, it is not impossible. I have asked you several times, but you don't think so. Ken said, I'm not afraid of anything happening to your brother in prison."
"I..." Ouyang Yanran was speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Tell me, what happened to your brother, can't you just save people and not let me know the crime?"
Ouyang Yanran looked around and brought Bai Song to her room.
Ouyang Yanran brought Bai Song a cup of tea, and then briefly told the story.
Ouyang Xun received a mission from the court to collect information. After the information was handed over to Chang'an, Mr. Qin, who succeeded King Li Zhan of Shu, fainted from anger when he saw the information. The information Ouyang Xun handed over was not the local literature and history that he was responsible for. Instead, it was a summary of the various versions of the Xuanwumen incident in the Jiangnan area, followed by an admonition, pointing the finger at the emperor.
Is this a big deal?
Fortunately, Mr. Qin had a deep relationship with the Ouyang family, so he suppressed this information and did not give it to the emperor. Otherwise, the Ouyang family would have been raided and executed by now.
But Ouyang Xun had to do such a thing without punishment, so he just arrested Ouyang Xun in Chang'an and imprisoned him directly in Dali Temple. Later, Mr. Qin was implicated and was killed, and Ouyang Xun's case became A story that only the Ouyang family knows.
Ouyang Yanran kept delaying and refusing to tell the truth because this story could not be told casually. If it were leaked, not only would her brother die, but the Ouyang family would also be wiped out from this world.
After hearing this story, Bai Song spat out a mouthful of tea and said to himself, "I'm such a good boy, but Ouyang Xun is much more courageous than him. He actually summarized the folk stories of the Xuanwu Sect and included an essay to criticize the thieves?"
What a long time to see you!
This is a huge crime. With Bai Song's current status, he would not dare to do such a thing. He wanted to save people, but it was risky.
Bai Song is unwilling to take risks easily because there are too many people involved behind him.
Ouyang Yanran saw Bai Song's hesitation, but she had already told her secret and there was no possibility of taking it back, so she hugged Bai Song's arm excitedly: "Sir, please, save my brother... Ouyang's family You can live without Yanran, but you cannot live without your brother. I know this makes it difficult for you, but please see your devotion at the cold spring of Mount Emei..."
"Dedicate...dedicate yourself?" Bai Song's eyes almost fell out, "You...what do you mean?"
Ouyang Yanran's face was red, but her eyes were resolute, without any escaping, and she said seriously: "When you were sleeping, Yanran was emotionally moved, and without your knowledge, she gave her body to you. I know it is not good to do this, but... But it’s true, as long as the adults help Yanran this time, Yanran will not need a status in the future and can just be an adult’s kitten.”
Ouyang Yanran shed tears as she spoke.
Bai Song stood up and said, "Why are you crying? It's me who should be wronged, okay? You...you are indecent! Damn! You are still crying..."
Ouyang Yanran knew this would happen, so she never dared to tell the truth. She just thought that Master Bai must be unwilling to help, and she was even more sad.
Ouyang Yanran couldn't stop crying. Bai Song sighed: "Hey, stop crying! Can't I help you? I really owe you!"
When Ouyang Yanran heard this, she was immediately surprised: "Really?"
"Let's go, follow me to Dali Temple first. Let's confirm whether your brother is still alive."
Ouyang Yanran was in high spirits, quickly wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly.
After a while, the palace's sedan stopped in front of the Dali Temple.
When Bai Song emerged from the carriage, the officials guarding the gate outside Dali Temple felt strange, but they recognized the carriage and sedan of the Prince of Beiding.
In the whole of Chang'an, there was only one royal palace, Beiding Palace. The brothers of other emperors were killed and assigned. Even some brothers who were crowned kings were arranged to far away places.
Therefore, the Beiding Palace is the most special existence in Chang'an. A palace can be established in Chang'an. This alone shows how much the emperor trusts him.
Therefore, it is okay not to recognize any of the errands, but the only thing that must be recognized is the carriages and horses of the Prince of Beiding.
Even the palace grooms were greeted respectfully wherever they went.
"This is the loyal uncle of the palace. I don't know who this is..."
Uncle Zhong, the groom, winked at the servant: "This is my master."
"Master? That's the prince... No, it's Lord Bai!"
After clearing up the relationship, several officials immediately changed their colors and knelt down respectfully to pay homage.
Ouyang Yanran had quietly come to the area near Dali Temple before, wanting to inquire about her brother, but she found out nothing. Instead, she saw how arrogant the police officers of Dali Temple were.
But when the previously arrogant police officers met Mr. Bai, they were all as well-behaved as cats and dogs.
Ouyang Yanran felt very relieved and followed behind, wanting to save Mr. Bai's arm to show who she was to Mr. Bai. However, Ouyang Yanran did not have the courage after all. She was afraid of offending Mr. Bai and he was unwilling to help.
"Is the Minister of Dali Temple here?" Bai Song asked calmly.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, because few people directly asked the official's name, either Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, or the like with direct surnames.
Bai Song didn't know who the Minister of Dali Temple was, so he could only ask this.
After being stunned for a while, one of them reacted and said, "Oh... Lord Wei Zheng is not here, but Lord Shaoqing Ma is."
"Wei Zheng..." Bai Song muttered, "It seems that it is different from history."
"Then go and ask Mr. Shaoqing to come over."
"Okay, Mr. Bai, later."
