Chapter 880 Alliance
Mr. Bai has raised Bai Erlang for fourteen years, and he has never enjoyed such treatment from him. It is impossible for him not to be jealous. However, this is his son's husband, and he has no reason to be jealous.
He coughed lightly, walked into the yard and greeted Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang hurriedly stood up to greet them and asked his three disciples to pour tea for Mr. Bai and County Magistrate Yang.
However, the three of them did not talk for long. Mr. Zhuang knew that County Magistrate Yang wanted to see Bai Shan and Man Bao about something, so he just said a few polite words and let Man Bao and the others go with County Magistrate Yang.
Bai Erlang was about to catch up when Master Bai suddenly called out to him, "Erlang, stay. I want to ask the teacher about your homework."
Bai Erlang was anxious, "Then ask me. I'll go talk to Lord Yang first."
"With your homework, do you have the nerve to approach Lord Yang? Come here, let me ask you, did you get into trouble during your trip to Yizhou City?"
Bai Erlang was somewhat reluctant. Mr. Zhuang, who had been drinking tea, suddenly looked up at him and said, "Erlang, take out the article you wrote the other day and show it to your father."
Bai Shan and Manbao turned around and winked at him. Bai Erlang could only go to find his homework reluctantly. After finding it, he handed it to his father with a sour face.
Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Look at this article. This child has made great progress. He is much better than before the New Year. I originally planned to let him work hard for the next two months and then try for the provincial school. Maybe he can get in."
Although Mr. Bai was not very good at reading when he was young, he still had some appreciation ability. His son's article was indeed well written, much better than before, and not worse than when he was fourteen years old.
Mr. Bai finally had a smile on his face.
Bai Erlang was also happy with the praise and finally felt less uncomfortable.
Bai Shan and the others did not stay in the Bai residence, but took County Magistrate Yang back to their own home.
Nanny Liu was still standing at the gate of her house, watching people moving things. When she saw her young master leading County Magistrate Yang over, she hurried to greet them.
Bai Shan said, "Mammy, I can't go to pay my respects to Grandmother and Mother for the time being. Please go and apologize for me. I have something to say to County Magistrate Yang."
"Yes, yes, you go first. I'll ask the servants to bring you some refreshments."
Bai Shan's study was always tidy and well-ventilated, so it wasn't uncomfortable to go in. Bai Shan asked County Magistrate Yang to sit down. After the servants brought in some refreshments and left, he looked at County Magistrate Yang and asked, "Sir Yang, why are you here at this time?"
County Magistrate Yang was walking among the bookshelves with his hands behind his back. Upon hearing this, he found a place to sit down and said with a smile, "It's the busy spring season, and I'm going to the countryside to encourage farming and sericulture. I just happened to walk into your Qili Village today. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Bai Shan: "...What a coincidence."
County Magistrate Yang flicked his robe and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Come on, let's discuss this in detail. How did you manage to become such a mortal enemy to the most powerful official, the most influential person, the most powerful force in Yizhou City, no, in Jiannan Road, after only a month of absence?"
Manbao and Baishan lowered their heads together.
After a while, Bai Shan felt something was wrong and raised his head and said, "This wasn't caused by us, it seems like a grudge from the previous generation."
Manbao finally reacted and shouted, "Besides, we didn't know anything at the beginning. Didn't you ask County Magistrate Tang to investigate?"
Bai Shan reacted quickly and immediately stared at County Magistrate Yang. "Yes, County Magistrate Tang found out about Manbao and then Uncle Zhou Yin, and that's how he brought up my father's case..."
The two men looked at County Magistrate Yang with a culprit's look.
County Magistrate Yang was choked and unable to speak for a long time.
After a while, he simply waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Where have you guys got to now?"
Bai Shan said, "My father must have been killed by the King of Yizhou. Erji is the witness. He said that the King of Yizhou had many private soldiers. Magistrate Tang also knew about this."
Not only County Magistrate Tang knew about this, but Yang Heshu had also known about it for a long time.
Tang He had just left Erji at that time, and he turned around and wrote him a letter, and also encouraged him to write to his family to report it, as if he was afraid that the Yang family would not get involved.
But he was the one who brought up this matter in the first place, and the two key figures who died were still in Luojiang County. Could he get away with it?
Even if he could run away, County Magistrate Yang would not run away, otherwise he would not have gone to investigate Manbao because of his doubts.
After a pause, County Magistrate Yang asked, "Evidence alone isn't enough. Where's the most crucial evidence? Where are the things County Magistrate Bai took away?"
Manbao and Baishan turned their heads to look behind the house, and behind that was Dahu Mountain.
County Magistrate Yang also knew this. He sat up straight and said, "Go ahead and do it. Bring your men with you tomorrow. I'll secretly send some more people over to you. You must find the thing."
Something that the King of Yizhou still yearned for ten years must be very important evidence. Yang Heshu said, "If we find it, this case will be overturned, and you can live openly in this world. Otherwise, you will have to hide in Qili Village for the rest of your lives."
"No, if I leave office, you may not even be able to hide in Qili Village." Not everyone has the courage and ability to confront the King of Yizhou.
Thinking of this, Yang Heshu couldn't help but look at the two of them and sighed, "You are really lucky."
Bai Shan said: "Of course, Manbao is a fairy who came down to earth."
Manbao: ...
Yang Heshu: ...
He couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and said, "Alright, then this time it depends on whether your luck will be as good as before. Manbao, go back and pay your respects to your Tianzun Master, and ask him to bless you to find the evidence quickly."
Manbao decided to live in the mountains for the rest of his life. He must take Keke with him to sweep every inch of the land. "Can finding something really overturn the case?"
"Once we find the thing, what happens next is beyond your control," County Magistrate Yang said. "Until then, all you have to do is follow us closely and save your own lives. The rest will be handled by the officials in the court."
Bai Shan asked, "Isn't it you?"
Yang Heshu shook his head. "We're just running errands, gathering some witnesses and evidence, and filing a few petitions. The real vanguard is still the senior officials in the court."
Yang Heshu looked at them meaningfully and said, "For example, Lord Wei, whom your grandmother met."
This time when he returned to the capital, he personally met the ruthless Lord Wei. Although he came from a humble family and often fought with the aristocratic families, they stood on the same side on this matter.
Although they have never said it explicitly, they are now allies.
Originally, His Majesty was planning to revise the clan history, but because of Wei Zhi's joining, this matter was postponed. This was a good thing for their family. The court had been arguing about the clan history for half a year.
Of course, Yang and Shu would not tell their two children about these political matters, at least not now.
