When Xin Twelve saw the government officials blocking Xue Bai at the door of the government office, he subconsciously turned around and walked toward the back door.
It wasn't until he heard someone say "Jifacao has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion" that he realized what he was doing and hurriedly went to fetch the horse.
These actions lasted only a moment, but a shout was heard from inside the government office.
"Xin Twelve, what are you hiding from when you see me?"
"Why are you hiding from me?" Xin Twelve was surprised at first, and then responded: "I have something urgent to report to Alang."
He got on his horse and drove away, secretly thinking that it was too sudden just now, so what if he bumped into him? Are you still afraid of a dying person?
"You continue to stop him."
Xin Ershi said and rode away.
Xue Bai was still blocked in the Yamen.
Ji Wen had obviously warned him, so even Jiao Nu couldn't reassure the government servants when he took out the token from the Right Prime Minister's Palace.
Originally Xue Bai could stay at ease, but now he had some bad premonitions.
He turned around and was about to walk into the government office, when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves again, and it was Du Kui who came wearing a robe.
"Xue Bai!"
"Whoever broke into Jingzhao Mansion without permission, don't you know there will be a curfew soon? Go!"
The government officials shouted, drove Du Jin away with their sticks, and began to close the door amidst the sound of dusk drums.
"Xue Bai, something happened!"
"wait for me."
Du Jin watched the door of Jingzhao Mansion slowly close, while Mu Gu was still urging, and she was inevitably worried.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, she saw the two doors slowly opening again, and an old man in purple official robe led Xue Bai and others out of the government office.
She hurriedly went up to him, bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Han."
Jing Zhaoyin Han Chaozong sighed, shook his head, and walked directly over the reins of the horse brought by the servant.
"Tell me this way."
Xue Bai hurriedly grabbed Du Jin and hurried towards Fangmen. At the same time, he said quickly: "I told Han Jingyin that Ji Wen wanted to persecute Zhongliang, and he promised to take me out."
He actually met Han Chaozong alone, took out the jade pendant given by Du Xixi, and said that he was not simply working for Li Linfu.
In addition, he only confirmed today that people like Han Chaozong and Yan Zhenqing are not actually members of the Donggong family. They just act out of public interest, so they often stand opposite Li Linfu. Presumably many people are considered to be close to Donggong in this way.
It's a pity that Han Chaozong just now claimed that he had been impeached by Yushitai for serious crimes, and he was expected to be demoted soon. His prestige in Jingzhao Mansion was not even as good as Ji Wen's, so he could only be brought out with an old face and some favors. Got Xue Bai.
And if Xue Bai didn't hold anything back and really regarded himself as a celebrity in the Youxiang Mansion, he didn't know how long he would be trapped today.
At this time, Du Jin couldn't care about this and said anxiously: "Something happened. The eldest sister went to Dongshi today to see Nu Yalang. She happened to meet Ji Wen's son and his servant. For some reason, they actually captured the eldest sister."
"what happened?"
"At that time, Quanfu was driving a carriage and was waiting outside the house with Qing Lan. When they saw the Ji family's carriage arriving later, after those people entered, Qing Lan felt something was wrong. She followed them and saw them arresting the eldest sister. She also held down Nu Yalang, so she hurried back to repay me, and Quanfu followed."
Although Du Jin was in a hurry, he still spoke in a coherent manner. At the end, he analyzed: "If you dare to kidnap the female family members of the Du family in Jingzhao in broad daylight, this matter is probably not easy."
Xue Bai said: "You mean..."
The two of them turned around and saw Jiaonu and the Tian brothers following behind them. They said in unison: "Liu Ji's case."
"Jiao Nu." Xue Bai ordered: "Ji Wen wants to take our credit. You should hurry back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and stop Xin Twelve. Don't let him see Ji Wen. Also, tell the Right Prime Minister, Long You The veterans are tough, so you can send someone to take Jiang Mao as a hostage and force them to throw a rat weapon."
Jiaonu asked, "What about you?"
Xue Bai said: "The case has been investigated. All we have to do is report it to the Prime Minister. You go. I have to save my eldest sister. Do you think I have anything else in mind?"
Jiaonu's mind was very confused.
Too many things happened recently, and she couldn't see them all, so she couldn't understand them well.
But this achievement was extremely important to her. Whether she could escape her lowly status depended on it, so she gritted her teeth and got on her horse.
"Give me the token of the Right Prime Minister." Xue Bai suddenly stretched out his hand and said in a tone that was unreasonable.
Jiaonu pulled the reins, still hesitating.
"quick."
Xue Bai drank again, and finally, a wooden sign was handed to him. The wood was made of small-leaf red sandalwood. It was very heavy and the carvings were exquisite. The carvings were of the scenery of Yanyue Hall.
"This is not an official fish talisman. Only Alang's confidants recognize it." Jiaonu said and hurried towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Palace.
Xue Bai turned to Tian Shengong and asked: "Have you brought the documents for curfew walking?"
"Bring it."
"Let's say something."
Xue Bai pulled Du Jin into the alley.
The two of them glanced at the Tian brothers guarding the alley, got closer, and said something in unison.
"You have a troubled life experience."
"There is something wrong with my life experience."
They all knew that the Ji family's arrest of Du Wei was definitely not because of Liu Ji's case.
The most worrying thing has happened. Xue Bai's family is likely to be persecuted by Li Linfu.
They had analyzed that if a noble family member had the mark of being an official slave, it was likely that his family had been ransacked, and over the years, Li Linfu had had too many families ransacked.
I thought it wouldn't be such a coincidence, but when I thought about it now, I realized that this outcome had a very high probability.
Thinking about it more carefully, Li Linfu always kept quiet when he went out because he knew that he had many enemies. How could he not think of this? Therefore, while promising to recruit Xue Bai as his son-in-law and inducing him to bite the East Palace, Ji Wen was ordered to investigate in case he was really an enemy.
"Sure enough, asking for a fighting cock is unreliable."
Du Jin used the word "ye". Although she had known this, she was still a little desperate.
It was clearly the prosperous age of Tianbao, but she didn't know why she fell into this desperate situation, and was forced to the point where her family was destroyed time and time again. If someone had told her this would happen a month ago, she would never have believed it.
"Don't panic." Xue Bai said: "We haven't reached the last step yet, let us take a look."
"Well, just fine."
"As said last night, the East Palace is unreliable, and we have to rely on Li Linfu for the time being."
"But if we only rely on Li Linfu, we will still die sooner or later. Sure enough, it is true."
One of them was buried alive and the other was abandoned. They had already reached a consensus that they could never trust Dong Gong again. But they also gradually realized that it was difficult to abolish Li Heng at this stage.
The difficulty is that Li Heng only needs to abandon his son every time to make the saint think that he is weak and will not abandon him. Unless Li Heng is confused and leads the troops into the palace personally like the prince Li Ying who was killed before.
But before Li Heng got confused, little people like them were already finished.
Because Li Linfu is also unreliable. Compared with Li Heng who abandoned the people around him out of helplessness, Li Linfu is more vicious and ruthless.
For example, Xue Bai found out that the dead man of the East Palace was in Wang Wen's villa. It seemed that as long as he handed the evidence to Li Linfu, he could complete the errand and become the son-in-law of the prime minister's office.
But if he does this, he will die worse than being buried alive.
Why did the East Palace hide the Longyou veteran in Brother Wang's villa?
The East Palace has long thought that Wang Fei has squeezed money from the family members of the Bian Army. Once someone puts Wang Fei and the Bian Jun together, this case will inevitably be brought out.
Once the trial is over, as long as a Longyou veteran says, "I sold myself to Wang Wen for revenge for my brother, because Wang Wen killed my brother's family because of his greed for ink!"
So, we have to ask where is the money?
In the hands of a saint.
Who is so bold as to slander the saint and plot against him?
When the time comes, Xue Bai will be the first to be chopped into pieces, and it was Li Linfu who ordered it.
Even if there were no Longyou veterans calling for confessions like this, whether he could bring down the prince or not, Wang Xing would still not let Xue Bai go if he dared to check the Wang family's villa.
Therefore, if Xue Bai dares to investigate further, he must die. But if there is no investigation, the reason why Xue Bai was able to persuade Li Linfu to let go of the Du family was to help bring down the prince. If he can't do that now, how can he survive? How could Ji Wen allow anyone to rescue the entire Du family from his torture?
There are dead ends on all sides, and there is only one solution, which is to "check but not check".
Xue Bai pointed out the truth in front of Li Linfu, which was an investigation. At the same time, he found someone to do bad things, which was not an investigation.
In this way, Li Linfu could not blame him and the Du family for framing Ji Wen again, so that he would not be able to persecute them anymore.
Also, since the result of no investigation is exactly what Dong Gong asked for, then the benefits given by Dong Gong must be taken full advantage of. Borrow the help of the East Palace to determine Xue Bai's life experience and the future of the Du family, so as not to have no way out when Li Linfu is unreliable.
To sum up - Dong Gong wanted to abandon them, so they took advantage of the power of the Prime Minister's Office to force Dong Gong to protect them. The Youxiang Mansion wanted them to die together with the East Palace, so they asked the eagle dog of the Youxiang Mansion to disrupt the matter and let the eagle dog take the lead.
Last night, Xue Bai and the Du family members clarified this idea and made the next series of plans.
"I have told Taigong Bo today that he will convey our conditions to the East Palace. In the afternoon, he will send someone to say that the East Palace has agreed. Have you received half of the jade pendant from Wu Lang?"
"Received. I have also made an agreement with the people in the East Palace to divert the search and help them move. In the afternoon, I will go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to personally remind Li Linfu that the dead men in the East Palace may be hiding in Wang Wean's villa or Yang Shenjin."
"Did everything go well?"
"Um."
Xue Bai closed his eyes and recalled the experience of this day.
He met Li Linfu early in the morning. In the morning, he went to Daozhengfang to investigate and knock on the mountain Zhenhu. At noon, he waited for Du Wulang to meet at the Qingmen Restaurant. After that, he met the secret agent of the East Palace. In the afternoon, he secretly reported to Li Linfu, and then rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to examine the martial arts. Kangcheng.
Jiwen met Li Linfu in the morning, went to capture Wu Kangcheng in the morning, and stayed in Jingzhao Mansion ever since. When I rushed to Youxiang's Mansion in the evening, I was sure that I hadn't seen Xin Twelve yet.
As for the East Palace, they were probably planning to abandon their son again, but they agreed to his conditions in the morning. After noon, the two parties discussed it at the Qingmen Restaurant and were already preparing to move tonight...
"The whole plan went smoothly."
Du Jin said: "In other words, the elder sister's matter has nothing to do with the plan?"
"It should only be related to my life experience."
Du Jin said: "There is also a possibility that Jiwen ordered Nu Yalang to fake your life experience and bump into the eldest sister?"
"It's all the same."
Xue Bai was also a little anxious. After agreeing with their sisters last night to accept the identity of Xue Ling's son, Du Wei said that she had found clues about his life experience, so she should confirm it as soon as possible. If she could find out, as long as she didn't cause trouble You can also choose from multiple portals; if you have a grudge with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, you can also erase the traces; of course, it is more likely to get nothing, at least let him do his best before recognizing someone else as his father.
She helped him so much, but something happened because of it.
Xue Bai took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked: "Is Nuya Lang in Dongshi?"
"right."
"When was the eldest sister kidnapped?"
"At noon." Du Jin said, "I only got the news in the afternoon. I went to see Grandpa Bo first, then returned to Du's house and saw that my eldest sister hadn't returned yet, so I hurriedly looked for you. Also, Wu Lang didn't come back either. He Where did you go?"
"I don't know." Xue Bai said, "We need to know where the eldest sister is being held. You just said, besides Xin Twelve, who else did you meet?"
"Jixiang, son of Jiwen."
"Walk."
"Do you know where to go?"
"Ji Wen's family is in Guangde House, which is very close to Jingzhao Mansion. And if he wants to meet the Prime Minister, go to Dongshi, or go to Qingmen to drink, he must have another house in that area."
"where?"
"check."
Xue Bai's face was stern and he had taken a few steps while speaking.
He walked straight to the Tian brothers and asked, "Ji Wen and I work under the right minister. Do you believe me or him?"
"Of course I trust you!" Tian Shenyu did not hesitate.
Tian Shengong's expression became solemn.
He was born into a poor family and had been accustomed to seeing the cold looks from powerful people in his life. Recently, he saw that Xue Bai was friendly to him and was more resourceful. He had long been willing to follow Xue Bai to find a future.
Holding his fists, Tian Shengong said: "Xinlangjun."
"Okay. Ji Wen framed us to gain credit for us. If you want to make a future, how about joining me tonight?"
"It's all up to Mr. Lang's arrangement!"
"Boom."
The last dusk drum sounded, and Chang'an fell into curfew again.
The four of them took the horses without torches and drove into the darkness.
