Chapter 221 Bai Yunfeng sent someone to monitor him
Little Dumpling saw the Dajin soldier kicking the things in the basket, as if to confirm that there was nothing valuable in it, and then he left cursing.
She couldn't bear it any longer and asked Bai Yu'an in a low voice, "Second brother, aren't these Dajin soldiers going to rebuild this place? Why are they bullying the common people?"
Bai Yu'an naturally also noticed the situation along the way. He vaguely felt that something was indeed wrong. Either these soldiers were acting recklessly, or there was something wrong with the county magistrate Wang Yuanshu.
"Don't worry, just tell Lord Wang when you see him later." He gently patted the little ball in his arms.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was built in the heart of Dongyi City, the most prosperous place. From the outside, although the entire mansion was not large, its design was rough and full of exotic style, giving Bai Yu'an and others a refreshing feeling.
The soldier who led them here said something to the soldier at the door. The soldier at the door looked them up and down before saying coldly, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and inform the master."
"It's troublesome." Bai Yu'an nodded slightly.
"Second brother," the little girl's eyes were full of curiosity, "Is this the City Lord's Mansion? Is Uncle Wang in there?"
Bai Yu'an nodded, "Probably."
Several people waited quietly.
The soldier who had delivered the message trotted straight to the front hall. When he arrived, he immediately knelt on one knee at the door and said, "Sir Wang, there are people from the Great Jin Dynasty at the door who want to see you."
In the front hall, there were several boxes on the ground. In addition to Wang Yuanshu sitting in the main seat, there was also a man wearing northern barbarian clothes standing there.
There were several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry on the table next to Wang Yuanshu. He was obviously surprised when he heard this.
"People from Dajin?" He frowned and took a few steps forward. "Did they say who it was?"
The soldier who delivered the message quickly glanced at the northern barbarian man. Then, he stood up and took a step forward, lowering his voice and saying, "Sir Wang, the person who came said that they were from the Bai family army."
Bai's army?
Wang Yuanshu's expression changed slightly. He knew that Bai Yunfeng and others had already moved camp back to the imperial city today. Why would someone from the Bai family army come looking for him?
He pressed again, "How many people are there? How old do they look? What are their characteristics?"
"Three people, a young man who looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, and another girl who is a little older. Oh, and they also brought a little girl who looks only three or four years old." The soldier answered truthfully.
"A little girl of three or four years old?" Wang Yuanshu knew who it was in an instant. It was Bai Yunfeng's seventh daughter, the child named Li Suining.
So, who are the other two young masters? Could they be Bai Yunfeng's sons?
Wang Yuanshu was a little displeased. Was Bai Yunfeng worried about him and deliberately sent people to monitor him?
He suddenly thought of something and glanced at the northern barbarian man who had been lowering his head beside him. Then he smiled and said to the soldier in front of him, "Hurry and invite them in. The child is the general's seventh daughter."
"The general's daughter?" The soldier's expression changed and he turned and ran out.
Wang Yuanshu immediately asked people to move all the things in the front hall. Then he stood at the door of the front hall, waiting for people to come in with an enthusiastic look on his face.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Yu'an and others were quickly invited in.
"Lord Wang is in the front hall. Please come this way." The soldier who had just delivered the message led the way.
Li Suining had already let Bai Yu put her down. She held her second brother's hand obediently and looked around curiously as she walked.
Everything here is different from Dajin.
She noticed that there were many soldiers from the Jin Dynasty going in and out of various courtyards along the way. She didn't know what they were busy with. There were also some blue-eyed northern barbarians who stood aside with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.
The City Lord's Mansion was indeed not big, and they soon entered the courtyard of the front hall.
"Two..." Wang Yuanshu, who was waiting at the door, was even more shocked when he saw the person coming. He never expected that Bai Yunfeng would let Bai Yu'an and Li Suining stay, and he guessed that the other one was there to support and protect the two of them.
He came forward enthusiastically and greeted them happily, "Yu'an, Xiao Suining, why are you here? Please come in, please come in."
He deliberately didn't call their surnames and winked at Bai Yu'an.
Bai Yu'an nodded to express his gratitude. At this time, he also saw a northern barbarian man standing in the front hall, and he vaguely guessed the other party's identity.
As expected, Wang Yuanshu led the people in and immediately introduced them enthusiastically, "Yu'an, Xiao Suining, let me introduce you. This is the Lord of Dongyi City, Yun Tiankuo."
"Greetings, City Lord Yun." Bai Yu'an confirmed his guess that the other party was indeed the city lord.
It seems that Wang Yuanshu is afraid of exposing their identity as members of the Bai family. After all, there is no one in the entire Dongyi City who does not hate the Bai family.
He felt that Wang Yuanshu was obviously thoughtful and a trustworthy person.
The little girl also greeted him in a baby voice, "Meet Uncle City Lord."
Yun Tiankuo is tall and dark-skinned, a typical northern barbarian. His pair of deep blue eyes are particularly eye-catching.
His eyes swept from Li Suining to Wang Yuanshu and said, "Who are these people..."
"This is my relative." Wang Yuanshu replied with a smile.
Yun Tiankuo clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Master Yu'an, Miss Suining. Welcome to Dongyi City."
"You are too polite, Lord Yun. I have always heard that the Northern Barbarians are vast and sparsely populated, and their landscape is completely different from that of the Great Jin. We are very happy to have the opportunity to come and see it today."
Bai Yu'an responded politely, then he remembered what he saw on the street and immediately called Wang Yuanshu aside.
"Lord Wang, on our way here, we saw many Jin soldiers looting the people in the city."
"How could such a ridiculous thing happen?" Wang Yuanshu seemed very angry. "These people are really crazy. They have no respect for the law. I have told them countless times that we need to rebuild this place. General Bai's intention is also very clear. We want to make this place better than before. How dare they do this?"
He gritted his teeth and assured Bai Yu'an, "Don't worry, Second Young Master. I'll go get someone to pass on the message. If I find out again that anyone dares to take a penny from the people in this city, I'll make sure they're beheaded."
"Master Wang, there's no need to be so angry," Bai Yu'an said with a smile, "I believe that if Master Wang's order is passed on, they won't dare to act recklessly."
"Alas!" Wang Yuanshu sighed repeatedly, "I've been laughed at by the Second Young Master."
Then, he asked tentatively, "By the way, hasn't the general already broken camp and returned to the imperial city to report? Why are you and Miss Seven staying here? Does the general have any further instructions?"
Bai Yu'an didn't say anything. Wang Yuanshu in front of him seemed trustworthy. If he told him about You Zhu's disappearance, then with the help of Wang Yuanshu and the Dajin soldiers, would it be easier to find You Zhu?
