"The General Mansion is clean and white! Where did the evidence come from? "
"Zheng naturally does not dare to speak nonsense, and has specially brought the evidence this time, uncle, please look at it." As Bai Zheng said this, he took out the letter that Nianming had copied beforehand, and offered it to Bai Yizhang with both hands.
Looking at this letter, the unease in Bai Yizhang's heart grew more and more intense. He had a feeling that this was not a good thing and he didn't even dare to take it. He could only calm down and read the letter through ten lines. The more he read, the more shocked he was.
On top of it, Bai Yinan's handwriting read: "Brother, I dare not disobey your wishes. Ran Nan Town is a flood, the people are suffering, two hundred thousand silver is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people.
It was clear that this was his handwriting.
Just the word "good".
Bai Yizhang held onto the letter, the texture of the silk felt light and soft, but now it felt like a thousand kilograms, pressing down on him until he couldn't breathe.
But it was enough to take him, and the life of the entire General Mansion.
Ordinary officials who embezzled money could at most be executed. However, he was a great general, a general who feared the Emperor even with military power. Wouldn't he... Bai Yizhang felt as if he had entered an ice cellar, the bottom of his feet cool to the top of his head.
Bai Zheng had taught Bai Yinan how to write since he was young. His handwriting was similar to Bai Yinan's in the first place, so it was easy to copy. As for Bai Yizhang's handwriting...
"It would be difficult for other officials to change their words. Finally, there are a few letters written by my uncle in my house. What do you think, Eldest Uncle? "
"Wretched girl, you are courting death!" Killing intent surged in Bai Yizhang's eyes, she turned and picked up the sword on the shelf, neatly cut off the letter, and pointed the sword straight at Bai Zheng, flying straight for her face.
Bai Zheng's clear and cold eyes looked at Bai Yizhang, without any intention of backing down, and even when Bai Yizhang's sword blade struck, his lips were curled up, and his calm death god like appearance caused Bai Yizhang to look up, the sword blade swept past Bai Zheng's hair, and collided with Bai Zheng's steps, creating a clear sound, which finally landed beside her feet.
"Uncle is still quite clear, if Zheng's life is really lost here today, with seventy-three people from the General Mansion accompanying me in death, it would be worth it."
"You're not afraid of death!" Bai Yizhang's entire being drooped down, the imposing aura he exuded just now had disappeared without a trace.
"Zheng believes that Eldest Uncle's achievements in the battlefield are outstanding and he is not an impulsive person. Since Zheng dares to pass this letter to you today, Big Uncle should know of my family, so even if it was each person, there wouldn't be any difficulty. If Zheng does not let Zhuling return within two hours to report her arrival, I believe that Big Uncle would not want to see a great calamity befall our General Mansion. "
Bai Yizhang weakly fell back onto the chair and sat down. He lowered his head and rubbed the space between his brows, "What do you want?"
Bai Zheng smiled slightly, "I want father to return safely."
"Your father is very important to His Majesty. He has ordered the Supreme Court to investigate this matter strictly, so there is nothing I can do about it. However, as you have said, the outside world knows that your father is my younger brother, so the effect of my words is not very great. "
"Zheng has a plan, as long as uncle is willing to help, it won't be difficult for someone with powerful profound strength to come out."
Bai Yizhang raised his head, "You want to rob a prison?"
"Uncle is joking." Zheng naturally did not have such an audacious thought. My Bai Mansion are all weak scholars. At most, my clan can only look after the house and protect it, so I need to borrow some people from General Mansion. "
Don't you have the audacity to do so? Bai Yizhang's chest tightened, he felt his Qi and blood rushing to his head, his temples throbbing, and then he called out, "Bai Heng."
A young man dressed entirely in black suddenly appeared in the room. He appeared too quickly, to the point where Bai Zheng was unable to see clearly how he entered.
Bai Yizhang ordered: "Tonight, you will obey Third Miss's orders."
Bai Heng only hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands together and saying, "Yes."
Bai Zheng looked at Bai Heng and was very satisfied with his skill, "Uncle, Zheng still needs to borrow some letters from uncle and the important officials of the imperial court. You are a first rank great general, and are not at the level of my father's third rank.
"You …"
Bai Zheng stepped out of the door, and Zhuling anxiously stepped forward to support her: "Miss, did Master agree?"
Bai Zheng nodded her head: "The things have already been sent by uncle, go back and tell Nianming."
Zhuling was surprised and said: "Then old master can be saved? This servant will be going back now! " After saying goodbye, he hurriedly turned around and left.
Bai Zheng looked at Zhuling's happy back, and felt a wave of warmth in her heart. In this battle, she had many helpers and many loyal servants in Bai Mansion.
Only when Zhuling's figure disappeared around the corner did Bai Zheng turn around and walk into the courtyard. By now the sky had turned dark blue, and the snow had stopped. Half a crescent moon could be vaguely seen on the horizon.
Bai Zheng's red face was hidden behind the white fur on the brim of her fiery-red fox fur hat. Her hand gently played with the snow that was falling on the plum trees in the courtyard.
"How long has it been since my father was captured?" Bai Zheng suddenly asked.
"Almost four hours." Unknowingly, Bai Heng, who had followed him from behind replied.
Bai Zheng looked at the plum tree in front of him and seemed to have thought of something. "At this time of year, the Red Plum of Long Mountain is the most gorgeous.
Bai Heng raised his head abruptly. "Young mistress, you mean …"
