"Tap tap tap—!"
Not long after.
On the streets of the capital.
Accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps, a large group of soldiers and horses appeared, rushing towards the direction of Wuhou Mansion.
The entire city of Chang'an was instantly alarmed. Everyone couldn't help but look at the sudden and menacing group of soldiers and horses in surprise, and they all speculated on what happened.
Soon someone noticed the target direction of this troop.
"That seems to be in the direction of Jin State Mansion and Wuhou Mansion."
"It can't be the Jin State Mansion. Could it be the Wuhou Mansion?"
"Could it be that Wuhou Mansion has committed something? Recently, the court is strictly investigating whether anyone has colluded with Taiping Dao. Could it be..."
Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but whisper, and their eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Wuhou Mansion.
And soon their suspicions were confirmed.
The troops and horses that appeared in this group rushed straight to Wuhou Mansion with great momentum, and soon after arriving at the gate of Wuhou Mansion, they directly surrounded the entire Wuhou Mansion from the outside, front, rear, left and right.
"Hiss, it's really Wuhou Mansion."
"Could it be that Wuhou Mansion really has collusion with Taiping Dao?"
"I'm afraid I can't be wrong, otherwise it would be impossible to mobilize the troops and maintain such a posture."
"If this is really the case, then the Wuhou Mansion may be completely destroyed this time."
"."
Everyone else in the capital watching this scene couldn't help but start talking in low voices. At the same time, the Wuhou Mansion was also in chaos.
"It's not good, it's not good, old lady, ladies and gentlemen, it's not good. A large group of officers and soldiers came outside and surrounded our Wuhou Mansion."
The steward of the outer palace and the servants at the door rushed to the inner palace immediately and told Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mi and others present about the matter.
"What?!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Mi couldn't help but stood up in shock.
It's not clear what happened, why the officers and soldiers suddenly surrounded their Wuhou Mansion.
But no matter what it is, it will definitely not be small.
Mrs. Bai immediately gave an order quickly.
"Go quickly and call the head of the family, the second master, and the third master to come over."
"yes."
The steward didn't dare to delay any longer, so he quickly sent someone to inform Bai Zheng, Bai Lian and Bai He.
"What happened? Why did the officers and soldiers suddenly surround my Wuhou Mansion?"
Soon Bai Zheng was the first to rush over. When he saw Old Taijun Bai and others, he couldn't help but ask. He was also full of horror and suspicion now. He didn't understand why their Wuhou Mansion was suddenly surrounded by officers and soldiers. You know Although their Wuhou Mansion is now completely in decline, the Houmen Mansion is still there and has the relationship with Bai Yuxian. Even if they commit crimes, even ordinary things or even killing people, it will not be like this.
But at this moment, the officers and soldiers surrounded their entire Wuhou Mansion. There was only one result. Their Wuhou Mansion had definitely committed a heinous crime.
But Bai Zheng asked himself that since he resigned, he had been at home and had done nothing. He even rarely went out to the Wuhou Mansion.
Could it be his second and third brothers?
Then Bai Zheng suddenly couldn't help but think of his second brother Bai Lian and third brother Bai He, and suddenly his heart suddenly felt sudden.
Because based on the characters of Bai Lian and Bai He, it is really possible for them to commit crimes, and the business of his Wuhou Mansion has always been handled by these two people.
At this time, Bai Lian and Bai He also came, but at this moment, their faces were already pale and full of fear.
And after arriving, the first time he saw Old Taijun Bai was to step forward and kneel down to Old Taijun Bai and beg for help.
"Mother, please save our children."
Because the moment they received the news, the two brothers understood that their secret collusion with Taiping Dao for many years must have been discovered by the court.
Now it is impossible to continue to pretend that nothing has been done. The only chance of survival is to ask Bai Yuxian for help.
But if they want to ask Bai Yuxian for help, it may be difficult for the two of them to succeed, because they also know that although they are also Bai Yuxian's father-in-law in name, Bai Yuxian may not like their two father-in-laws. So the safest way is to ask his mother, Mrs. Bai, for help.
After all, her mother's status and seniority are also here. If she asks for mercy, Bai Yuxian will definitely not be able to refuse even if she is reluctant.
Seeing the actions of the two of them, Mrs. Bai's expression suddenly changed. She realized that what happened today was probably inseparable from her two sons, and asked quickly.
"What did you do?"
"My child is confused. When I saw that my eldest brother was suspended, life in the mansion became increasingly difficult, so in order to make more money, I couldn't help but do business with Taiping Dao. Now the court must know about this, so I came here."
Boom!
Hearing these words, everyone present in Wuhou Mansion felt thunderous and stood stunned on the spot.
Brothers Bai Lian and Bai He have actually been doing business with Taiping Road these years.
But you must know that today's Taipingdao is a rebel.
This is simply a huge disaster, and everyone in their entire Wuhou Mansion is afraid that they will be implicated and unable to escape.
Mrs. Bai was staggering and almost fainted, looking at her two sons in disbelief.
"You, you are confused. Such a catastrophic disaster is going to make our entire Wuhou Mansion irrecoverable."
"We didn't expect that Taiping Road would actually rebel. When we did business with them, it was for the sake of the government and to make more money."
Brothers Bai Lian and Bai He quickly explained.
However, when they started doing business with Taiping Dao, the two brothers simply did not resist the temptation and wanted to make more money. They were not thinking about the whole Wuhou Mansion. However, at this time, they wanted to survive and asked their mother for help. Naturally, the two brothers agreed. He insisted that he did this for the sake of the entire Wuhou Mansion.
However, Bai Zheng standing by didn't believe what they said and asked directly.
"What kind of business do you do with Taipingdao?"
Bai Lian and Bai He suddenly looked a little guilty and whispered.
"Copper, iron, minerals, salt."
"Asshole!"
When Bai Zheng heard this, his face turned livid with anger.
Copper-iron salt itself was strictly prohibited by the imperial court and was illegal, and it was also a serious crime to behead someone directly.
It turned out that the two brothers not only colluded with Taiping Road to do business, but also sold copper and iron ore and salt. Did they die quickly because they were disgusted?
"We were all confused for a moment, but we were only focused on our family at the beginning, and we never thought that Taipingdao would rebel. Now that things have come to this, brother, you and mother must save us."
Brothers Bai Lian and Bai Zheng also quickly admitted their mistake and asked for help.
"You two are confused."
Old Taijun Bai thought again and again, feeling angry and anxious, but after all, he was his own son, so he could only look to Bai Zheng for help.
"Zheng'er, you have to think of a solution to this matter. After all, your second brother and third brother are all for our Wuhou Mansion, and blood is thicker than water."
"Save, how to save?"
Bai Zheng was furious. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel the urge to die together.
He felt that it was really difficult for him, and there were almost no one in the family who didn't get into trouble.
Nephew pit.
Son pit.
Now two brothers are also cheating.
Who can withstand this?
Let’s talk about what Bai Lian and Bai He committed this time, let alone helping them, their entire Wuhou Mansion would probably be executed.
Moreover, he did not believe even a single punctuation mark about what Bai Lian and Bai He said about colluding with Taiping Dao for the sake of Wuhou Mansion.
"Such a huge disaster, let alone saving them, even my entire Wuhou Mansion is afraid of being executed. This is colluding with rebels and selling copper, iron ore and salt, strategic materials strictly prohibited by the imperial court. Mother, let me How to save the child?"
For the first time, Bai Zheng couldn't help but look at Mrs. Bai Jundao almost questioningly.
If it were in the past, no matter how unhappy Old Mrs. Bai was, Bai Zheng would never contradict Old Mrs. Bai, no matter how unhappy he was.
But this time, he really couldn't help it.
Bai Zheng felt that his mother must bear most of the responsibility for the Wuhou Mansion to reach this stage.
When Mrs. Bai heard this, her body suddenly staggered again, and everyone else in the surrounding Wuhou Mansion also turned pale when they heard this.
Bai Lian and Bai He also turned pale, but they still had hope in their hearts and said quickly after hearing this.
"No, there is still a chance, and there is Yuxian. Nowadays, Yuxian is a high-ranking official and is highly respected by the emperor. He is also the governor of the two towns. If Yuxian helps to intercede, he will definitely be able to save us."
"Yes, yes, there is Yuxian. Let's ask Jadexian for help. Jadexian will definitely be able to save us. Moreover, we are both members of the Bai clan. We have the same bloodline and are in-laws. Jadexian cannot ignore us."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai seemed to have woken up from a dream and grasped a life-saving straw, and murmured to herself quickly.
And this time.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang from the direction of the outer gate, and then a large group of soldiers and horses filed in. They looked at everyone in Wuhou Mansion with sharp eyes and said coldly.
"Arrest Bai Lian and Bai He, and the remaining people in Wuhou Mansion will be under strict supervision. Everyone, no matter who they are, will stay in Wuhou Mansion and are not allowed to go out. Anyone who resists or disobeys will be killed without mercy."
Plop.
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Lian and Bai He instantly became weak and collapsed to the ground. Old Mrs. Bai also rolled her eyes and fainted.
