It was just after noon when the carriage arrived. Bai Yu'an got off the carriage and in a blink of an eye saw several guards at the entrance of the alley, and a carriage next to them.
Bai Yu felt reassured, walked over quickly, and then saw Changsong carrying someone out at the entrance of the alley.
Bai Yu'an knew that Shen Jue had promised well verbally but had deep thoughts behind her back, so how could she believe her words.
Really a villain.
Changsong didn't expect to meet Bai Yu'an here.
The two looked at each other, feeling silently awkward.
Changsong thought that he might not be able to complete the task today.
Bai Yu'an glanced at Gu Yiyi, who had fainted on Changsong's shoulder, and took a step forward to look at Changsong: "That's my good friend, can I ask where Chief Shen asked you to take him?"
Isn't this asking knowingly?
The adults asked him to take the people back quickly, and there were people passing by, so Changsong didn't want to delay any longer.
Facing Bai Yu'an, Changsong whispered: "Master Bai wants to know, why don't you go and ask my master in person?"
Bai Yu'an walked up to Changsong and looked at Gu Yiyi who was tied up. Thinking that she was still a woman, she whispered again: "Give the person to me. I will be the one to tell Shen Shoufu. No wonder." On your head."
Changsong only listened to Shen Jue, and his expression did not change after hearing these words: "Without the words of my family, I cannot give him to you."
He glanced at Bai Yu'an again and said in a lower tone: "Master Bai, please forgive me."
At this time, passers-by passed by and looked at the guards standing at the entrance of the alley. They all lowered their heads and walked away in a hurry.
Bai Yu'an didn't want to embarrass Chang Song, but she must stay.
Gu Yiyi went to Shen Jue's place, and then she really couldn't hide anything.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand and quickly drew out the long sword from Changsong's waist.
The sound of the blade cutting across the scabbard was so sharp and harsh that everyone present looked shocked.
Changsong was carrying Gu Yiyi on his shoulders, but Bai Yu'an took advantage of him. His expression changed and he looked at Bai Yu'an: "What is Master Bai going to do?"
"This sword is sharp and not something Master Bai should hold."
Bai Yu'an has thin skin and tender flesh, and he is a scholar with no physical strength. Just the blade of the sword may cut his skin.
Based on how much his master cared about people, Changsong didn't want to go back and be unable to do his job.
A Tao, who was standing next to him, also looked shocked. His fingers couldn't help but pull at Bai Yu'an's sleeves, for fear that she would do something extraordinary next.
Bai Yu'an held the long sword with a calm expression and a cold face, watching Chang Song lift the sword.
The sword was really heavy. Holding the hilt with one hand, it was hard to lift it.
However, there was no trace of embarrassment on Bai Yuan's face. He looked directly at Changsong and said in a heavy voice: "This is still outside. Whenever something happens, everyone passing by will come over."
"I will definitely keep that person. Could it be that you are willing to let him go only if there is blood splattered here?"
"When the time comes, Chief Shen will forcibly kidnap someone for no reason, and the matter will spread. It will be troublesome for Chief Shen to deal with it, right?"
Changsong was not afraid of the sword in Bai Yuan's hand. Those hands that were always used to hold books could kill people, and he might not be able to hold the sword.
But Changsong was afraid that Bai Yu'an would hurt him. If something happened, he would not be able to explain it when he went back.
Moreover, he had been in contact with Bai Yu'an several times and understood what he meant when he said that things were getting serious.
If the person in front of him was someone else, it would be easier to just knock him out. But this person was Bai Yu'an, someone who everyone in his family would support, so he didn't dare to knock him out.
He hesitated for a long time, then put down the person on his shoulder and threw it to the ground, and stretched out his hand to Bai Yu'an.
"I'll let him go. Can Master Bai return the sword to me?"
Bai Yu'an glanced at Gu Yiyi, who was lying on the ground and still unconscious, and asked A Tao to help her up, and then handed over the sword.
Changsong took the sword, and the sharp blade returned to the scabbard, and the tension just now disappeared.
Changsong didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and stood in front of Bai Yu'an. He hugged his hands and led the others away.
Bai Yu'an looked back at Changsong, who was already riding on the horse. Without saying anything, he turned back to look at Gu Yiyi on the ground.
After bending down to untie the rope from Gu Yiyi's body, Bai Yu'an said to A Tao, "Can you afford it?"
A Tao gave it a try. Gu Yiyi was a woman after all, so she could drag her up with some strength. She then lifted Gu Yiyi up.
Bai Yu'an and A Tao walked into the alley holding one of Gu Yiyi's arms.
Here in Shen's Mansion, Shen Jue had already changed his clothes, leaning crookedly on the pear wood armchair, and casually took the book on the table to read.
Some time ago, he asked his men to impeach Wei Ping in the main hall for raising private soldiers at home, and then he came up with information about Wei Ping's impeachment.
Shen Jue picked up a few and looked at them in his hand, glanced at them briefly and threw them back on the table.
Wei Ping's crimes were nothing more than embezzling the treasury, using power for personal gain, and affixing seals privately.
All are mortal sins.
But the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Banquet was coming soon, and she suppressed it again, only to let the Empress Dowager understand first that Wei Ping had committed a heinous crime and had offended the public.
The satin cloak was hung loosely on Shen Jue's body, rising and falling with Shen Jue's movements, falling from the chair layer by layer, and swaying slightly with the jade ornaments around her waist.
Looking at it from a distance, it seems alienated, lazy and noble, so that people dare not approach it.
When Changsong came in, he didn't dare to look up at Shen Jue behind the table. He lowered his head and tightened his grip before whispering: "When I went to arrest someone, I happened to bump into Master Bai."
After Changsong finished speaking, there was no sound in the room, and there was even more oppression in the silence.
Changsong then gritted his teeth and continued: "Master Bai drew the slave's sword and said he would see blood if he didn't let him go."
As he spoke, Changsong immediately knelt down and said, "I didn't bring this person back, please punish me."
There was still no sound in the room. Changsong trembled but did not dare to raise his head to look at Shen Jue.
It wasn't until a sigh sounded that Changsong raised his head and glanced up.
Shen Jue rubbed his brows and asked, "Then I asked you to inquire, have you heard about it?"
Changsong quickly said: "This servant has heard about it."
"I heard that the man's name is Gong Yushu, and he is said to be the candidate who came to Beijing to take the exam this time."
"There is also a silly man in his yard, who says he is some relative of Gong Yushu."
"I haven't found out the others yet."
Shen Jue nodded noncommittally as she paused with her finger on the case, thinking that Bai Yu'an was indeed talking about the people who had harmed him.
Changsong hesitated and then asked cautiously: "Does the master still want slaves to arrest people?"
Since Bai Yu'an already knew that he had called people to arrest people, he would definitely have a backup plan. It would be pointless to arrest people now.
But Shen Jue is very interested in the person Bai Yuan wants to stay even if he draws his sword.
The slender fingertips hit the table, always wanting to see that person.
