Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Li Baolu pondered for a moment and said: "Even we feel that Master has money and military books, let alone other people, so even if Master doesn't show up this time, they will find a way to find Master. Still hiding."

Gu Jingyun nodded, "There are only two ways to solve this matter. One is to catch all these Jianghu people with ulterior motives and judge them by law."

"It's unrealistic. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has been a law that prohibits the people of the rivers and lakes from using martial arts. Therefore, it is forbidden to privately manufacture weapons among the people, let alone encourage the common people to practice martial arts. But for thousands of years, there have been only a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. Everyone has created sharp weapons. If you target so many martial arts people at once, it will definitely arouse the rebellion of the whole world, and then things will only get worse." Li Baolu paused and said: "I don't agree with the people of the world. Solve the grievances privately, but I think it is better for the people to have this style of martial arts, and this kind of inheritance in a narrow sense. On the basis that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, I do not agree to target them on such a large scale."

"Then there is only the last one left." Gu Jingyun poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said, "Let Master throw away the hot potato in his hand, and I will frighten these Jiang Hu people for him, and let everyone in the world know what they are trying to do." The thing that belonged to Master is no longer in the hands of the old man, and he is protected by my Qin family and the court, and no one can touch him."

Then the Lingtian Gate must be handed over to the imperial court, Li Baolu hesitated.

Her master is only one of her apprentices. In the future, most of the Lingtianmen will be handed over to her. If Lingtianmen is in her hands, it’s fine. ...

Li Baolu felt that Master would probably not be willing. He is a person who specializes in stealing corrupt officials. How much trust can such a person have in the court?

Gu Jingyun said lightly: "The matter is very important, you might as well write to ask Master what he means."

Li Baolu lowered her eyes, nodded and said, "That's fine."

This time, the letter from the two of them was sent urgently, and Gu Jingyun handed it directly to Li An's forces in Kaifeng Mansion, and they delivered it on their behalf.

I don't know how they delivered the letter, but this letter arrived in Beijing earlier than the one sent two days ago.

When Bai Yitang received the letter, he was being hugged by Niu Niu on his thigh, crying and calling for Feifei, while Qin Wenyin stood aside and stared at him coldly. Seeing that Hongtao had brought him a letter, he opened the letter and shouted loudly. Advised Niuniu, "Uncle needs to read the letter, no time, no time."

He Zipei came out with a plate of dim sum from the kitchen, and waved to Niu Niu, "Niu Niu, come quickly to mother, mother has made many delicious snacks."

Niu Niu hesitated for a moment, seeing that Uncle Bai was pinching a letter as if he really didn't have time, so she reluctantly ran to her mother's embrace.

Bai Yitang breathed a sigh of relief, and innocently said to Qin Wenyin who was staring at him, "I didn't take her flying, she was the one who pestered me."

Qin Wenyin snorted coldly, "If you hadn't brought her around to coax her two days ago, would she have pestered you?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Bai Yitang's forehead, how did he know that Niuniu would like this?

And her memory is better, she still remembers it after a few days, isn't it said that the child has a great forgetfulness?

Qin Wenyin glanced at the letter in Bai Yitang's hand, turned around and followed Niu Niu into the house. He Zipei was hugging Niu Niu to feed her snacks, and when she saw her sister-in-law come in, he smiled and said, "Are you blaming Hero Bai again? In fact, he is not to blame for this, Niu Niu is a pestering child, and even we are often pestered by her. But we can't see Daxia Bai is also so tolerant towards children, I used to see him teaching Baolu kung fu, he would beat and scold him if he didn't like it, I was really afraid that he would throw Niuniu aside."

Qin Wenyin smiled and said: "Bao Lu is his apprentice, a strict teacher produces an excellent apprentice, so he is naturally stricter, but Niu Niu is a child of a friend's family, and she doesn't practice martial arts with him, so he naturally loves her more."

He Zipei smiled slightly, "You do understand him."

Qin Wenyin's heart skipped a beat, feeling that what her sister-in-law meant was meaningless, but He Zipei had already lowered her head and continued to feed her daughter.

Niu Niu looked at her mother and then at her aunt with big round innocent eyes.

Qin Wenyin nodded her nose and said, "Eat your food."

After Bai Yitang waited for the others to leave, he opened the letter to read it, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and Junyi's face was solemn, showing a seven-point sharpness. This surprised Qin Xinfang, who had just returned home from the office, and couldn't help but feel a shivers down her spine.

Bai Yitang looked up at Qin Xinfang, folded the letter and said with a half-smile: "Master Qin, Mr. Bai is looking for you."

Qin Xinfang smiled lightly and said, "Brother Bai, you are being polite, just speak up if you have something to say."

"Oh, I want to see the current Majesty."

Qin Xinfang: ... What do you, a knight-errant, see the emperor for?

But thinking of Bai Yitang's identity, Qin Xinfang nodded.

The rivers and lakes are separate from the imperial court, and the two sides usually only intersect in the following three aspects: one is that the imperial court collects their taxes; The country was humiliated, and people in the rivers and lakes ran to kill the generals and senior officials of the enemy country for the sake of the country and the people.

But Bai Yitang is an exception, or Ling Tianmen is an exception.

As a two-term cabinet member and the grandson of the former Chief Assistant, Qin Xinfang knew Ling Tianmen better than ordinary officials, even the royal family.

This is a sect that specializes in stealing corrupt officials and noble gentry. They are born with relations with the court, which is different from ordinary sects.

Qin Xinfang agreed, but today is impossible, he has to ask the emperor, and tomorrow will be the soonest.

That night, Bai Yitang went out alone in a carriage, and when he came back, he brought two big boxes. He said to Qin Xinfang, "Take these two big boxes with you when you enter the palace tomorrow."

Qin Xinfang opened it and saw that there were two full boxes of booklets inside. He was slightly taken aback and looked at Bai Yitang.

Bai Yitang nodded slightly at him, and then he picked up a booklet and opened it. Inside was the account book, and the handwriting seemed to be from many years ago.

He was a little dazed. It recorded how much Ling Tianmen spent on a certain day, month, and day in a certain year and provided help to those people. Below it was a detailed account, showing how much it cost to build a house, how much food and medicinal materials spent .

Qin Xinfang knew at a glance that this was an account book for the relief of refugees coming to Beijing.

He faintly understood in his heart, put down the account book and bowed slightly to Bai Yitang.

Bai Yitang turned around and left. He returned to his room, took out the letter from his pocket, read it again, and sneered in his heart: Want to force him to show up? Does he look that stupid?

He picked up the pen to write a letter to his apprentice, and it was time for his apprentice to see how powerful Ling Tianmen is.

Each generation of Lingtianmen has only one disciple, but this does not mean that there is only one disciple in Lingtianmen. If there is only one person, how could Lingtianmen have done so many things?

The senior brothers and sisters' understanding of Lingtianmen only comes from their master, they have never read the classics in the school, let alone touched on the fundamentals, it is time to let them know what Lingtianmen is like.

On the second day, Bai Yitang followed Qin Xinfang into the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor was also very curious about Bai Yitang, because Bai Yitang committed too many major crimes, especially in the middle and late period of the first emperor, when the government was turbid and corrupt officials were rampant, Bai Yitang, who was only recorded in the case records, committed twelve crimes , and those corrupt officials who were stolen but did not report to the officials, just think about how many corrupt officials he stole and how much money he stole.

What the emperor was curious about was how he transported so much money out of the mansion of corrupt officials without anyone noticing.

It is naturally impossible for Bai Yitang to tell him, what he wants to say here is another matter, "Your Majesty, this is the account book left by Ling Tianmen in the capital, you can take a look."

Director Su led his servants to open the box, and presented an account book to the emperor.

The emperor flipped through the pages, and said in silence for a while: "That is to say, all the things stolen by your faction are used to help the victims?"

"It's not all, but it's about the same," Bai Yitang said calmly, "Since I was exiled to Qiongzhou, Lingtianmen has stopped committing crimes, and all the wealth accumulated in the backdoor of the Yellow River's embankment four years ago has been used up. There is only an empty shell left in Tianmen, and it is absolutely impossible for someone to seize the money. If Your Majesty wants to see the account books, I can send someone to go to Sichuan to find all the account books accumulated in the gate. "

"No need," the emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the account book in front of him. He also participated in the Yellow River embankment breach four years ago. The embankment that embezzled the Yellow River's repair money was only hastily repaired by local officials. The embankment could not withstand the water pressure and collapsed overnight.

Because the embankment of the Yellow River was handed over to the fourth prince at that time, the fourth prince was pushed to the forefront as soon as the incident happened. The officials were furious, and the flood victims in the lower reaches of the Yellow River were even more resentful. disaster victims.

However, the relief money and food available from the treasury were extremely small. At that time, he was trapped in the disaster area and almost thought he was going to die there.

The victims had nothing to eat or drink, they could only eat turf. There were no medicinal materials, and the plague could happen at any time. Even if no one incited them at that time, as long as it took longer, the relief food and medicinal materials could not keep up with them, and they would rebel.

According to the victims, the chance of him being able to escape while staying in the disaster area at that time was very small.

But the victims did not rebel, because someone organized the local gentry and merchants to donate a large amount of silver, food and medicinal materials. Although not all the victims could be cured, the conflict between the victims and the court was greatly eased, so no one rebelled. .

Through diversion, he distributed all the victims to various prefectures and counties, and ordered the local officials to properly arrange the victims. When he came back to find the person who donated a lot of money at that time, he couldn't find anyone.

Only the country gentry and businessmen who followed suit and donated supplies were on the list, and the great benefactor who donated 290,000 taels and 180,000 shi seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing these familiar account books now, what else does he not understand?

At that time, it was the person in front of him who did those things, or the Ling Tianmen behind him.

Bai Yitang said: "Lingtianmen only steals corrupt officials and rich and unkind gentry. Their money comes from the common people. We just save it for them for a while and return it to the common people. The Zhang Boying case in Datong was the last case I worked on eighteen years ago. All the wealth used by Lingtianmen in the past eighteen years has been left unused before. Now it has been completely used up, and Lingtianmen’s treasury only has a pile of account books, not even a penny or a grain of rice.”

The emperor sighed in admiration, looking at the solemn knight in front of him, he couldn't help but believe in his words from the bottom of his heart.

"Ling Tianmen has always been unrestrained, why is Bai Daxia doing this today?" The emperor asked gently.

Bai Yitang was silent for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, there can only be one disciple in the Lingtianmen to inherit the mantle, and I have already accepted my disciples, and I will not accept others as disciples in the future."

The emperor was stunned, and then he remembered that Bai Yitang's apprentice was Gu Jingyun's wife and Qin Xinfang's niece and daughter-in-law.

So in the future, Gu Jingyun's daughter-in-law will steal his family property?

The emperor felt a little twitching in his heart, and also had some weird sense of pleasure, he looked at Qin Xinfang.

Qin Xinfang kept a sullen face and said nothing. He refused to assume the possibility that his niece and daughter-in-law were going to be thieves or something.
