Chapter 92 Dispute

Li Hong was shocked when he heard Xiaoxue's words, if he had any secrets in the past few years.

The two people Xiaoxue mentioned just now, as well as some names of people he had never met, were all on his blacklist. Although they were not on the kill list, Li Hong's hostility and vigilance towards them could be said to be one of the main reasons for the establishment of "Jingwei".

Although the brothers Wen Ting and Wen Zhen were not on his list, Wen Ting's wife was the eighteenth daughter of Li Hong's great-grandfather, Gaozu Li Yuan, so he had to call her "auntie" whenever he saw her.

It was with the recommendation of her great-grandfather's eighteenth daughter, Princess Qianjin, that Wu Mei got her first male favorite, Xue Huaiyi, who should still be called Feng Xiaobao.

Now it should be... Li Hong thought about it, damn! Feng Xiaobao is just one year old now!

As for why he could remember in such detail the year when Wu Mei's first lover was born, it was all thanks to Feng Xiaobao's ordinary background and his infuriatingly good luck!

Feng Xiaobao was originally a peddler selling wild herbs in Luoyang City. He developed an affair with Princess Qianjin's maid, and the two were discovered by Princess Qianjin when they were having a secret meeting. Just as she was about to execute him, Princess Qianjin saw Feng Xiaobao kneeling in front of her, and found that he was strong and handsome, so she became interested in him.

At this time, Princess Qianjin was seeking Wu Mei's sympathy and mercy because of a royal family rebellion case. Because of this case, Princess Qianjin even took the initiative to offer to be Wu Mei's daughter in order to save her life.

So not long after keeping Feng Xiaobao by her side, Princess Qianjin took the opportunity to present Feng Xiaobao to Wu Mei. From then on, Wu Mei began her dirty years of recruiting male favorites.

...

...

For Li Hong, who had been a beggar and a thief in his previous life, these were commonplace stories he heard on the streets. Naturally, he listened with great interest and felt as if he were there, so it was hard not to remember them.

Therefore, it is conceivable that after Li Hong became Wu Mei's son in this life, he would naturally not allow such a thing that would damage the reputation of the royal family to happen.

"Jingwei" has been secretly looking for Feng Xiaobao, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi brothers in the past few years. According to the instructions given to "Jingwei" by Li Hong, as long as they meet the characteristics he mentioned, they can be executed on the spot.

Li Hong sat in the carriage and watched the dispute between Wen Ting, Wen Zhen and the people outside, his thoughts still immersed in the matter of Feng Xiaobao.

Now that I think about it, Feng Xiaobao was only one year old, and killing him would be considered as taking human life lightly. Moreover, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were her unborn sisters, and they were recommended by Princess Taiping, so they were probably not very old at this time.

Li Hong, with a dazed look in his eyes, kept looking out the window. Suddenly, the crowd gathered there dispersed, and from time to time, he could hear people talking in the crowd: "Miss Bai's carriage has arrived, get out of the way."

"Miss Bai is here, let her make the decision on this matter."

"What is Miss Bai doing at the city gate? It looks very grand."

Li Hong listened to the discussions outside through the gap in the window, signaled Hua Meng to park the carriage aside, and asked him to tell Bai Chun to deal with the matter first before coming over.

After all, he still wanted to see what this charming, elegant and beautiful Bai Chun looked like in front of others, and whether she was different from when she was in front of him.

Sure enough, Bai Chun's carriage did not drive towards him, but stopped on the other side. Bai Chun, dressed in white, walked out slowly amid the exclamations of the crowd, like a charming snow lotus.

"Wow……"

Everyone looked at Bai Chun and cried out in surprise. Although some people in the crowd had seen Bai Chun before, every time they saw Bai Chun, she seemed to have a completely different temperament. No wonder everyone stared at her in amazement.

Wen Ting and Wen Zhen frowned unconsciously. Although they did not know Bai Chun, they had occasionally heard of this name: a remarkable woman who was able to become half-lord of Taiyi City, an absolute confidant of the current Crown Prince who had entrusted her with important tasks but had not given her any title.

Bai Chun's expressionless face and her otherworldly appearance made Li Hong curl his lips and said involuntarily, "If I have to face her like this all the time, I might as well move a Buddha statue to keep her company. At least the Buddha statue has a smiling face, which is much better than her cold and icy character. Of course, I won't be in a hurry for you, Xia Zhi, right?"

Bai Lu smiled softly, knowing that the master was teasing Bai Chun again, and said softly: "Master, I think Bai Chun looks very good, but it's a pity that I can't do it no matter what. Besides, Helan Minzhi has hit a snag several times with Bai Chun."

Li Hong couldn't help but look sideways: "Helan Minzhi followed her to Taiyi City? He really wants to pester Bai Chun."

"It seems so, but Bai Chun seems to have never paid any attention to him." Bai Lu continued.

The master and the servant were gossiping excitedly in the carriage, while the main character had already walked to a large open space left by the crowd.

The people around were obviously still in awe of Bai Chun. Even the closest person was ten steps away from Bai Chun, which allowed Bai Chun to see what was going on inside effortlessly.

I saw a cart of tea scattered on the ground, and eight other people standing in the middle of the venue. A man who looked like a businessman stood opposite the eight people with a sad face.

"Compensation will be based on the price of the tea, and the damaged parts of the carriage will be compensated according to the cost of repairing the carriage." Bai Chun glanced at the waiter at the tea shop, and then at the eight gorgeously dressed people.

Although the voice was not loud, it gave people a feeling that could not be disobeyed.

Wen Ting and Wen Zhen looked at Bai Chun and were thinking about what to do when a Hu man who came with them said dissatisfiedly, "You said you would pay? Why don't you ask who is right and who is wrong first? It was his carriage that blocked our way, he should compensate us."

Bai Chun looked up at the Hu man unmoved and said, "His carriage is already close to the roadside. If he lets you pass, he will probably drive the carriage into the shop next door. This is a wide road. Even if eight of you ride side by side, it won't affect you. So it's fair to ask you to pay compensation."

"It's just... it's such a wide road, but you have to chase after people and ask them to give way. Is that unreasonable?" someone in the crowd said.

"I just saw that the tea shop clerk hurriedly made way for you after hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, but you refused to give in and insisted on squeezing past him," said another voice in the crowd.

"Who saw it? Come out and explain it in person. How can you be a hero if you stand in front of a crowd and talk?" The Hu man turned his head and looked at the crowd threateningly.

Bai Chun ignored him, his voice still very light, glanced at Wen Zhen and Wen Ting, and said, "What do you mean, you also don't want to compensate?"

"Miss Bai, my name is Wen Ting. I came to Taiyi City for an important matter, and it was indeed the waiter from this teahouse who did not give way first..."

"You're talking nonsense. I had already hidden in the corner. I was just a little slow, so he whipped my horse. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been frightened and collided with the horse of the man behind me." The tea shop waiter said angrily.

At first he was a little afraid of these well-dressed people, but now that Miss Bai was here, he was no longer afraid. In Taiyi City, no one dared to offend Miss Bai, not to mention that Miss Bai had always been very fair.

"Miss Bai, how about this, for your sake, we won't bother with him. This horse was transported from the Western Regions and is worth a fortune. Now the horse's leg is broken. I think Miss Bai should be very clear about the medical expenses. Even if he brings another ten carts of tea, it is not enough to treat my horse. So let's take a step back and put today's matter behind us for now. No one will pursue anyone's responsibility, okay?" Wen Ting thought for a while and said.

In his opinion, this was the biggest concession he could make for the sake of the crown prince.

Although they came to Taiyi City this time not to ask anything of Bai Chun, they did ask something of Bai Chun's master. If things got out of hand over this matter, and this beautiful woman told her master, it would affect the purpose of their visit to some extent.

Bai Chun calmly shook his head, his tone still indifferent: "No, it's your fault, it's your fault, there's no such thing as giving in..."

"You... do you really think we are afraid of you? Let's leave now, I wonder who dares to stop us!" The Hu people were furious. A little woman actually dared to challenge Wen Ting!

As soon as the Hu people finished speaking, they saw the crowds around them suddenly gathered around them, surrounding them. Everyone had a determined look on their faces, and it seemed that they would never let them leave easily.

Bai Chun slowly walked to the center of the venue, picked up a piece of tea leaves on the ground, and said to Wen Ting: "It's not easy for tea merchants to pick tea, and it's even harder to earn some hard-earned money. Besides, this is Taiyi City, where official business has always been handled impartially. This is not Luoyang City. Since you are here, you have to follow the rules here. Unless you are him."

Wen Ting's face changed. He originally thought that Bai Chun didn't know who he was, but when he heard people mention Luoyang City, it was obvious that people knew his identity. Knowing who you are but not believing you, it was obvious that he had something to rely on.

Although Bai Chun's voice was still not loud, his tone was already very firm. If he didn't pay the money today, there would obviously be no way to resolve the matter peacefully.

Moreover, he also heard that the "unless you are him" in Bai Chun's mouth was referring to the fifth prince of the current emperor, Crown Prince Li Hong, who was heard of by all the royal relatives, and who was always vindictive and never suffered any loss!

Wen Ting stared at Bai Chun silently. The Hu man behind him had vicious eyes and he wished he could kill Bai Chun.

"Okay, I promise you. Miss Bai named the price, and we will compensate her." Wen Ting gritted his teeth. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. One day, he will make sure that Bai Chun falls into his hands, and he will neither be able to live nor die!

"This is something you two families need to discuss. Hurry up and understand the matter and leave. It has been delayed for too long." After listening to Wen Ting's words, Bai Chun turned around and walked out, speaking lightly as he walked.

Seeing such an attitude, Wen Ting was extremely angry. It turned out that other people didn't take him seriously at all!
