Chapter 441

"Bai Shuai." Yan Zheng looks at Bai Yi with a surprised look on his face. He really didn't expect that Bai Yi would say such a thing. Although Bai Yi didn't say it himself, he should be lenient, but since he is asking for the imperial edict, he undoubtedly wants to let these people go. You should know that the emperor is the king of benevolence and goodness. The previous chaos of the king of Dongping and the eighteen Marquis's house all happened under his eyes. He didn't get involved in it too much. He just dealt with the first evil according to the law.

"Isn't it a surprise?" Bai Yi moves the corner of his mouth and shows a smile, which is strange to Yan Zheng. In this smile, Yan Zheng feels a little lonely and helpless.

"I'm afraid people all over the world misunderstand Bai Shuai." Looking at Bai Yi's expression, Yan Zheng sighed and said.

"I am worthy of my heart when I act. It doesn't matter if I don't misunderstand." Bai Yi takes a look at Yan Zheng, shakes his head and says, "you are still young, and you have never experienced the tragedy of Northern Xinjiang when Qingyang iron hoof went south. So you can't imagine the tragedy of Daqian North at that time. Every family has the pain of lying dead, and every family has the sound of crying. If it wasn't for the Duke of Wei to step forward to help the country, I'm afraid people in the north will be killed by Qingyang people. That's the shame of our generation of soldiers. All I did was not want that to happen again. "

"Bai Shuai's heart, heaven can learn from it. Yan Zheng has been taught." Yan Zheng looks at Bai Yi with a moving face and salutes him respectfully.

Bai Yi looks at Yan Zheng's action and shows a trace of satisfaction on his face. He reaches out his hand to help him up and says, "sometimes people can't live too smart. Just do what they should do."

"So Bai Shuai, you really don't care about your name before and after you live?" After getting up, Yan Zheng asked curiously.

Yan Zheng is surrounded by such pure people, such as he Tao, Cheng Yuan and Feng Yang, who are devoted to military affairs; Lu que, the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, who works hard day and night for war; and his father, who has been an official in all prefectures and counties of Daqian since he was born, who seldom returns to his ancestral residence in Jinghu even on New Year's day. But he was still curious why these people became what they are today.

"I never thought about what you said." Bai Yi shook his head, looked at the stars all over the sky and murmured, "you may know that I came from a poor family and met your Majesty in the school period. Later, he was praised by his majesty, and he was appointed commander in chief of the Longxiang army in less than 30 years old. In the Hongxi Dynasty, in addition to Duke Wei and Lu que, I was the third one who was appointed head of the first army in my 30 years old. I can't repay your Majesty's kindness and old feelings. "

Bai Yi turned to Yan Zheng and said seriously, "for me, I have never regarded myself as a Marquis of Wu'an. I'm just an old soldier guarding the border for my majesty. For an old soldier in the army, there is no need to be named before or after him. "

"Bai Shuai, Gao Yi." Yan Zheng looks at Bai Yi with a moving face and says. What Bai Yi said may be a joke in the treacherous and incessant courtroom, but Yan Zheng can feel that every word Bai Yi said is from his heart. He really thinks and does it. He never thought that Wu'an Hou Bai Yi, who was known as a famous marshal of a generation and a supreme murderer, was such a simple man that even he, who was born in a statesman, had respect for him.

At this time, Yan Zheng suddenly thought of what Lu que said when he was in the imperial capital: "the more pure ministers there are, the less power there will be. We should give the world a clear and fair court, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and that the great Chieftains can be handed down for generations."

Previously, Yan Zheng had some reservations about this sentence, because Daqian's current pattern is composed of nobility, aristocratic family and poor family. If nobility is lost, he will become a aristocratic family. If aristocratic family is lost, he will become a poor family. Similarly, the rise of a poor family can make the whole family become nobility and a poor family. The three will always transform into each other. If the old family is suppressed, the new family will become a new one. If the old family is suppressed, the new family will make up for the vacancy. This is like reincarnation and a strange circle. People can't see any hope of breaking this strange circle.

But looking at the Wu'an Hou Bai Yi who is naturally in front of him, and then thinking about the quiet and introverted Lu que, Yan Zheng seems to see the hope of breaking this pattern from them. Perhaps only such sages who forget their own business and are only virtuous and virtuous can really do things that others dare not do or can't do.

See speech is lost in meditation, Bai Yi mouth stirred up a trace of smile. Through this period of contact, he is really optimistic about this young man. In his opinion, Yanzheng's talent, learning and moral character are all first-class, and what he lacks is just the accumulation of experience. But for young people like Yanzheng, the most important thing is time. As long as he can be tempered a little, he will become a famous official.

Just because Yan Zheng was born in Jinghu Yan family, his habit of thinking will naturally put everything on the two ends of the scales in his heart, so as to make a choice between the pros and cons. This can not be said to be bad, but such people are easy to fall into their own selfish desires and family ties. The reason why Bai Yi said this is to give him a certain touch, let him make a new choice for his future.

Before they knew it, they had been standing on the wall all night. At this time, the sky was white. Bai Yi and Yan Zheng, who had been standing on the wall all night, were all hit by the water vapor in the morning. On the outside of the armor, there was a layer of water condensation.

"Bai Shuai." Jing Wenyang, the commander of the right rosefinch guard who left before, went up to the wall and gave Bai Yi a military salute. But when he raised his head, his face was dignified.

"What? Haven't you found a way for the four great families to leave Qingquan city? " Bai Yi looks at Jing Wenyang and frowns slightly.

"No, just as Bai Shuai expected, they did leave through the tunnel. I've sent someone to walk along the tunnel. There are many brand-new and messy footprints in it, and the taxi drivers below also found this one." With that, Jing Wenyang took out a jade pendant from his arms. On the front of the jade pendant, there was clearly a conjunction "I've asked someone to verify that this is indeed the inheritance jade pendant of Lian's lineage."

Bai Yi took the jade pendant and looked back and forth. Then he threw it back into Jing Wenyang's hand and said, "it's really good jade. The sculptors should have been made by famous artists. It seems that they have already reserved a way out to be so unscrupulous. Commander Jing, where are the entrance and exit of that tunnel? "

"The exit is in an abandoned River port in the southwest of Qingquan city. As for the entrance," Jing Wenyang said. After taking a look at Bai Yi and Yan Zheng, it is obvious that they have scruples.

"Where is the entrance? Isn't it Qingquan Prefecture Seeing Jing Wenyang's hesitation, Bai Yi asks with dissatisfaction.

"That's not true." Jing Wenyang waved his hand, hesitated a little and said, "Bai Shuai, the entrance of the tunnel is in zuixiang residence."

"What?" Bai Yi and Yan just looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

Zuixiang residence is the most famous restaurant in Nanjing and even in the whole city of Daqian. Its reputation should be on top of Baizhen building in the capital. If it's just like this, it doesn't matter. A place for selling money doesn't embarrass Bai Yi, marquis Wu of Daqian, and Yan Zheng, the eldest son of Yan Family in Jinghu. However, zuixiang Ju is the property of Qingquan an's family, and the establishment of zuixiang Ju more than two hundred years ago is the time to marry and settle down.

Ren wuhui is the sister of Ren wuhui, one of the founders of the United Kingdom. Ren wuhui is one of the nine great powers that were granted by the empress. In the ranking of the nine great powers, Ren wuhui is the first one among the nine great powers.

However, because Ren wuhui resigned and retired after the stability of Daqian, both the royal family of Daqian and the local officials of Qingquan city took good care of Ren wuhui, the only younger sister, and the subsequent emperors still did so. This is why for more than 200 years of Daqian, zuixianju has been so prosperous, but no one dares to seize the property of an family.

Now, although the an family moved to the north of Changqing river before January, they have violated the law of Daqian by digging a tunnel in zuixiang residence to get out of the city. Lian, Bian, Zeng and Xiang families even use this tunnel to escape from the city. Even if the an family is not involved in it, it has nothing to do with them.

This is because digging a tunnel is definitely the secret of settling down. Not many people even know it inside the an family. However, the four families all regard this secret road as the last way out. Obviously, it can't be known until recently. Either the important people of an family were bribed by the four families and sold their family secrets, or the an family told the four families themselves. However, this matter involves the an family, which in turn involves Ren Gong, the founder of the country. This is a bit difficult to deal with.

At this time, Yan Zheng and Jing Wenyang both looked at Bai Yi. At this time, there were three people in southern Xinjiang who could move the an family. One was Lu que, the commander in chief of Southern Xinjiang, the other was Liu Buyi, the second prime minister, and the other was Bai Yi, the Marquis of Wu'an. However, Lu que is now in Longpan mountain, and Liu is seriously injured. How to deal with this depends on the attitude of Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an.

"Bai Shuai, after all, settling down is no better than any other family. Ren Gong is very popular. Even his majesty will treat them with great courtesy. Moreover, at this time, all the an people have left Qingquan. It's better to put the matter down for the time being and wait until after the war." See Bai Yi has been silent, obviously is also in the heart of hesitation, speech is open to say.

"No matter what the reason is, it's a big crime to dig the secret road outside the city. Is it because they settled down and had something to do with Ren Gong, one of the founders of the United Kingdom, that we ignored them? And where do you place the majesty of the law? " Bai Yi Wen Yan shook his head and said very seriously.

"Bai Shuai, an's practice is not the first or the last. It's just the instinct of the aristocratic family to ensure its own survival, and it may not mean that they have the heart to give up. At this time, they should focus on the stability of Southern Xinjiang and the war in zhennanguan." Jing Wenyang also said.

In fact, no matter Bai Yi, Yan Zheng or Jing Wenyang, they all know that this kind of thing is not a big deal. Although it is against the law, at most they will be ordered to fill in the tunnel again and then be fined. But now, after all, it's wartime. There's a secret road that can lead to the outside of the city, and the city guards don't know. Then they can leave Qingquan city through the secret road. Naturally, the enemy can easily break through the city defense and enter the city through the secret road. According to the wartime military law, those who do such things can be killed without asking.

"Send a letter to Dan Shuilu Shuai. He will control the military and political affairs in southern Xinjiang. This matter will be decided by Lu Shuai." Bai Yi thought about it and said.

Jing Wenyang and Yan Zheng look at each other and nod at the same time. This may be the best way. They are really afraid that Bai Yi will directly order the house arrest or direct killing of an family. You should know that such as Shuangying and Sanjie of the founding of the people's Republic of China, bu Shenglian, the famous Prime Minister of the Wendi Dynasty, Baili Chengping, the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang in the Wudi Dynasty, and Lu Chun, the Duke of Weiguo, are all influential figures among the students in the nine University palace. Countless students are following these people's footsteps, looking forward to one day becoming like them.

Therefore, once Bai Yi, the Marquis of Wu'an, wants to fight against the an family, he will make a big stir in the family of Nanjing and the students of jiudaxuegong.

Looking at their relief, Bai Yi's mouth twitches twice. It seems that his name of killing God is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He can't help saying, "Yan Zheng, you draft a document to describe last night's events, and send it to the imperial capital and Danshui with Xinying."

"Nuo ~" Yan Zheng nodded and agreed.

"In addition, I wrote the story of the 40000 captives in the eagle letter to Lu Shuai. Seeing that most of them were ignorant and rebellious people, I couldn't bear to punish them all, but I couldn't just feed them and waste food. I asked Lu Shuai what to do with them."

"Bai Shuai, I think it's better for your majesty to decide this matter. Lu Shuai may not care about it now." Yan Zheng thought about it and said.

"Oh? Why? " Bai Yi smell speech to see a speech is one eye, light ask a way.

"According to the calculation of time, now the army of Zhongyang king is about to arrive, and the decisive battle under Zhennan pass is around the corner. Marshal Lu may not care about such things." Yan Zheng replied. In fact, what Yan really wants to say is that Lu que is the kind of person who not only controls the overall situation, but also carves out details. In his mind, the most important thing now is to wipe out the animal tide. Lu que only needs them to ensure the stability of Qingquan City, the place where the materials are transported. As for the prisoners, he doesn't care too much.

Even in Yan Zheng's mind, in order to ensure that there will be no mistakes before the decisive battle, Lu que will even order the execution of all the rebellious people, because this is the most once and for all without future trouble. Moreover, tens of thousands of people will fall to the ground, which is enough to frighten the southern aristocratic family from daring to act in a short time.
