Chapter 455 was detained
When the Rong'an Marquisate learned that Bai Baoying had been detained by the Jiucheng Military Department, they did not believe it at first.
Even if Baoying did something outrageous outside, what did it matter? As long as it didn't become a big deal, everyone would turn a blind eye. If he ran into someone shameless and difficult, the worst that could happen was to give him a few taels of silver.
Even if Baoying didn't know, how could the servants in the Marquis' Mansion who followed him out not know? There was no way he would offend the nobles in the capital who could not be offended.
So, what kind of courage did the Nine City Military Command have? They dared to arrest the relatives of the Marquis' Mansion.
Aunt Bai wiped away her tears anxiously, "Sister, what should I do? This unfilial son, this unfilial son, how could he be so ignorant! How could he be so ignorant!"
"How many times have I told you this is the capital, not our home? The rules in the capital are very strict, but you probably won't listen and will only cause trouble for the Marquis' Mansion."
The wife of Marquis Rong'an did not think that her nephew was causing trouble, but only felt that she had lost face in front of her sister.
She hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, sister. I think there must have been some misunderstanding. I will send the housekeeper to the Jiucheng Military Commission to bring Baoying back. If Baoying has really been wronged, I will seek justice for him. Even the Jiucheng Military Commission should not think of bullying the relatives of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister!"
"Why should we be so polite to each other, sisters?"
Lai, the chief steward of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, received the order from his wife and personally led people to the Jiucheng Bingmasi Yamen to demand the person.
He was sensible enough to prepare fifty taels of silver for tea money, thinking only of spending money to avoid disaster, and politely took his cousin back.
Although the patrol soldiers of the Jiucheng Bingmasi were of low status, they were in charge and there was little news on the ground in the capital that they didn't know.
It is not wise to make enemies with them.
He had long seen through his cousin's temper, and he knew that sooner or later he would cause trouble, but even if he did, it would not be a big deal, the Marquis's Mansion would be able to handle it, it would just be a little troublesome.
Look, it’s here as expected.
Butler Lai had a smile on his face and his expression and attitude were very humble and decent. As long as he could get things done, establish a good relationship, and give the other party a good impression, he didn't mind lowering himself to praise the other party.
According to past experience, the other party would be flattered and very polite and friendly to him. He just needed to flatter them a few more times and present them with a banknote, and the matter would be settled.
Unexpectedly, this trick didn't work this time.
The other party was completely impatient to listen to him or watch his performance, and angrily sent him away: "Go, go, go, hurry up and leave! Don't even think about disrupting the rules and order of the yamen. That Bai man was beating and insulting people in the street. He is extremely arrogant. He will be imprisoned according to the law and a verdict will be made after the interrogation. You, the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, come to demand someone at this time. Don't you really care about the laws of Daming?"
Butler Lai was completely stunned.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "Officer! Officer, is there any misunderstanding here? Our cousin is not like that. Even if he had a quarrel with someone, it can't be all his fault, right? I wonder if the other party——"
"What? Did our Nine Cities Military Division arrest the wrong person? Do we need the steward of your Rong'an Marquis Mansion to teach us about the affairs of our Nine Cities Military Division?"
"Oh no, no, that's not what I meant. I just want to find out what's going on."
The more Steward Lai tried to probe, the more his heart sank. He hurriedly slipped the fifty taels of silver into the officer's hand and said, "Sir, could you please tell me something clear so I can understand what's going on? Please accept these fifty taels of silver and have some tea."
"What are you doing? You old man, you still want to bribe me?"
The officer refused to take the banknote and instead pushed Butler Lai away, saying, "Who wants your banknote? Get lost!"
"Sir, please don't be angry, please don't be angry. I was wrong. It was my fault. Goodbye, goodbye."
Upon seeing this, Butler Lai left in a hurry and asked someone to drive the carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible.
He understood in his heart that no matter how much fault his cousin had in this matter, it was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion.
This is aimed at the Marquis' Mansion.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an was calm and composed, while Aunt Bai and her daughter were restless. Unexpectedly, Butler Lai did not bring the person back.
Aunt Bai's vision went dark as she screamed, "How could this happen! What do they want to do to my son? What on earth do they want to do? Sister, I beg you to save Baoying! When has that child ever suffered this kind of hardship? I'm afraid he's terrified."
Thinking that her son was still detained in the yamen, Aunt Bai became extremely anxious.
Bai Jinfu supported her and comforted her again and again.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an felt very embarrassed. She tried to appease her sister and said unhappily, "Butler Lai, you go ahead."
She really didn't believe it. Could it be that the Jiucheng Bingmasi wouldn't even give face to the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion?
At best, her nephew was just a bully. Could it be possible that someone was killed?
This is a bit tricky.
"Madam, calm down. Auntie, don't worry. My cousin is only detained at the Jiucheng Military Affairs Office. He should be fine."
Butler Lai briefly recounted his visit, then said, "Madam, I suspect someone is deliberately targeting our Rong'an Marquisate. Do you think we should invite the Master and Young Master back?"
After all, the wife of Marquis Rong'an had lived in the capital for many years, so even if she hadn't been there, she had seen and heard of it.
It turned out to be a deliberate targeting.
This was not something she, a lady in the inner house, could control. It was probably related to what her husband and son did outside.
But her son is now studying in the Imperial College, so it should be fine. It must be that there is something wrong on the part of her husband.
In this case, it is my family that has implicated my nephew.
"Don't worry, sister. If that's the case, there's no need to worry. Baoying will be fine, don't worry! Go find the master. The young master is studying hard in the Imperial Academy, so don't disturb him."
"yes."
When Aunt Bai heard what her sister said, she became even more worried?
Was her son implicated by the Rong'an Marquisate? What had the Rong'an Marquisate done? Why didn't those people dare to confront the Marquisate openly, but instead took it out on her son?
This is nothing.
In that case, wouldn't her son be treated as a punching bag and suffer in the Jiucheng Bingmasi Yamen?
Aunt Bai was so anxious that her heart was about to burn.
On the way back, Marquis Rong'an heard Butler Lai talk about what happened at the Jiucheng Bingmasi, and he couldn't help but frown.
"From what you said, it does seem like this is targeting our mansion. However, I haven't had any grudges with anyone recently, nor have I done anything wrong. What's the reason for this? Send someone to the Imperial Academy to bring the young master back."
"yes"
When the family is reunited and looks at each other, they still can't figure out what the problem is?
Maybe Bai Baoying did something outside and offended someone he shouldn't have offended without realizing it?
Marquis Rong'an asked tactfully.
Aunt Bai and her daughter's faces suddenly turned red.
