Chapter 70 Defeated
Although it is not known whether the note was written by Miss Bai, it is also not known whether Miss Bai knew his identity.
But now that the person who sent the note remained silent, did not make any demands, and did not reveal his identity, he would just remain unchanged and wait.
However, he guessed that the matter of the note was probably related to this cunning and shrewd Miss Bai.
“Sister Bai!” When Lv Yuanpeng was about to get close to the crowd, he reined in his horse, jumped off, squeezed out of the crowd with the whip in his hand, and rushed up the stairs. He bowed respectfully to Bai Qingyan, then turned around and looked at the people kneeling in front of the Duke’s Mansion and said, “Early this morning, Brother Xiao and I got the news that two people bribed some soldiers’ families and were going to cause trouble in front of the Duke’s Mansion. I think these people are…”
Hearing the words “Brother Xiao”, Bai Qingyan raised his eyes.
Not far away, Xiao Rongyan, wearing a sable-skin cloak, was escorted by a dozen guards, leading a horse and walking slowly towards them, looking elegant and calm.
The common people who were there to join in the fun heard the guards’ shouts and turned around.
I saw a tall and strong guard with a sword on his waist, carrying two bloody men towards the Duke’s Mansion, and the people made way for him.
“Sister Bai! This morning, I was very sad to hear about the seventeenth son of the Bai family. On the way to the Duke’s Mansion, I met Brother Xiao. It happened that the elder of Brother Xiao’s family was reporting to Brother Xiao that he had delivered silver to several poor families on his behalf this morning. Unexpectedly, when passing by a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, I heard someone distributing silver to the families of soldiers, and told them to come to the Duke’s Mansion to cause trouble. They would let these people say that the Duke was stubborn and used the army to leave a name in history, and that he took the lives of soldiers as nothing! They said that after the trouble was over, they would give them fifty taels of silver each!”
“What a vicious method! This is to kill the widow of the Duke of Zhenguo!” Bai Jintong clenched his fists tightly at his side.
The families of the soldiers who had come to cause trouble in front of the Duke’s Mansion were trembling all over. Lu Yuanpeng even described the location so clearly, it seemed that the matter had been exposed. Some people wanted to escape but were stopped by the people and guards. They fell to their knees on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and begged, and everything else was shaken out.
“Miss, spare my life! It was these two who gave us 20 taels of silver each and asked us to cause trouble in front of the Duke’s Mansion!”
“Miss! Miss, I don’t want the money anymore! I’ll give it all to you! All of it! I know I was wrong! I won’t do it again! Please spare my life!”
“Sister Bai, guess what?” Lu Yuanpeng threw back the hem of his cloak and pointed the whip at the bloody man on the ground. “These two men are waiting for these idiots to come back to the ruined temple, ready to kill them all! Then they will frame the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to discredit it!”
The families of the soldiers who had caused the trouble were so frightened that they turned pale. They crawled forward a few steps on their knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy: “Miss Bai! We are the ones who were blinded by greed and accepted money to cause trouble in front of the Duke’s Mansion, but…but I only have one child! If the child dies, I also want to get more money to support myself in my old age!”
“Yes! We are also forced to do so. If our son really dies, how will we old ladies and old men live?”
Bai Qingyan stood upright on the high steps, looking at the man who had come to cause trouble and claimed that his grandfather had killed his son. He was now crying and begging for mercy. He did not have much emotion in his heart. Instead, he looked at the two thieves who were pinned down by the guards and asked, “Who ordered you to do that?”
The two men were suppressed and could not resist. One of them said, “We are paid to help others get rid of disasters. People in the underworld have their own loyalty and rules. We should have died. We are not as skilled as others and were captured alive. We accept defeat! Miss Bai, you can kill us or chop us up as you wish.”
“You are helping those with evil ambitions to frame the loyal and brave heroes who died for the country, and you are trying to frame the widow of the Duke’s Mansion for being unkind. Are you worthy of mentioning the word righteousness?” Her voice was hoarse, as if she was exhausted, and her heart was as cold as winter. She closed her eyes and said, “Now that the loyal bones of the Bai family are still warm, there are people who want to kill our Bai family! That’s it! The Bai family is loyal, and both humans and gods can witness it! My grandfather is dead, and all the men of the Bai family are gone. My Bai family can finally live up to the word “guarding the country”!”
The indifferent and cold expression, full of exhaustion, was completely different from the woman who had just been full of righteous indignation and argued with the greedy people who besieged the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion. It was indescribably sad, as if there was nothing more desolate than a dead heart.
She bowed and saluted to Lu Yuanpeng: “The Bai family is busy with important matters, and the stewards and servants are unable to spare time. Could you trouble Master Lu to hand these two people over to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion? The Bai family is confident that the Jingzhao Yin can give justice to the Bai family.”
Lu Yuanpeng didn’t react, and replied stupidly: “Of course no problem!”
She looked at Xiao Rongyan who was standing calmly outside the crowd. Behind him were a dozen guards with swords. He was wearing a cloak, a robe embroidered with dark blue and white cloud patterns, and a belt trimmed with emerald and gold threads, looking extremely elegant.
His facial features were originally extremely deep and stunning, but he was full of the elegance of a scholar. There was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were calm and restrained, and his elegant charm was rare even among the great scholars of the time.
She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is smart and clear-headed. Today, these two people were sent to the door of the Duke’s Mansion by Xiao Rongyan through Lu Yuanpeng.
Bai Qingyan nodded to Xiao Rongyan. She accepted this favor.
“Fourth Miss Bai Jinzhi whipped the people. Uncle Ping confiscated the whip from her and took her back to the mansion to punish her according to family law.”
After saying that, she turned around, held Bai Jinxiu, whose face was covered in blood, with tears in her eyes, and smiled silently at Bai Jinxiu.
“Eldest sister…” Bai Jinxiu choked and tears fell like rain.
“Stop crying and let’s go!” Bai Qingyan’s voice was like a sigh. He held his sister tightly in his arms and walked towards the Bai Mansion.
Bai Jintong bowed to Lu Yuanpeng and personally escorted Bai Jinzhi, who looked unwilling and angry, back home.
Lu Yuanpeng looked at Bai Qingyan’s depressed back and tightly grasped the whip in his hand. He did not expect that bringing these two people to Bai’s mansion to seek credit from Bai Qingyan would make the woman with a graceful demeanor that defies frost and snow lose all hope. He seemed to be infected by the white cloth hanging on the door of the Duke’s Mansion, and he felt a sadness and anger that made him heartbroken.
Once in front of Manjiang Tower, this seemingly frail woman, with a proud character, spoke from the bottom of her heart with loyalty and righteousness, and her love for the people was deafening! When she dealt with that bastard, she was as powerful as thunder. What kind of courage did she have? !
That day, her slender figure stood tall like a pine or cypress in the hall, with an air of righteousness and courage, as if no setbacks or shocks could crush her pride. But today, she was defeated by the people whom her Bai family had fought to protect at the cost of their lives for generations!
