poor family prodigal

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, and Hu Mengying immediately put down what she was holding, walked to the door and opened it.

After opening the door, he saw Bai Qingcang and Bai Feifei standing at the door. He immediately bowed respectfully and said politely: "Your Highnesses are here, please come in quickly!"

"excuse me."

Bai Qingcang and Bai Feifei walked in the door greeted by Hu Mengying.

When Wang Yuan saw the two people visiting, he immediately stood up with a smile and said politely: "I guess you two already know about the caravan being robbed, right?"

Bai Feifei and Bai Qingcang looked at each other, and immediately stepped forward and said politely to Wang Yuan: "Young Master Wang, you are right, we do know about this matter, so we came here to see you. Do you have any opinions?"

Wang Yuan directly asked Bai Feifei and Bai Qingcang to sit down, poured two cups of tea and handed them over.

"Thank you, Prince."

Bai Qingcang took the tea and took a sip. He saw Wang Yuan's serious face and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, to be honest, I have already made some assumptions in my mind."

"This matter may have something to do with the Sheng family."

"exactly."

Bai Qingcang nodded and replied with a very solemn expression: "This matter is indeed very similar to what the Sheng family did."

"They have always been cunning and cunning, and they all use tricks."

Bai Feifei's expression became serious, and he slowly said: "The method they used was too low-level, but even so, it caused a lot of trouble."

"There are actually a lot of speculations about this matter from the outside world, but most of them point to you, Prince Wang. I'm worried that it will have a bad impact on you in the future."

Bai Feifei's words were very concerned.

When Wang Yuan heard this, he also nodded and said in a solemn tone: "I'm afraid they will use some tricks in the future. Your Highness, when you go back, you must tell the people around you to pay more attention."

"Thank you, Prince Wang, for reminding me."

Bai Qingcang nodded, and after a moment he said: "But actually, I was thinking that if we can pull off the trick, maybe we can use this opportunity to see what the Sheng family is up to."

When he heard this, Wang Yuan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Bai Qingcang sat with Wang Yuan for a while, and then left after lunch.

Since the decision was made to let this matter develop, the number of robberies occurring in various places has gradually begun to increase.

In every yamen, people kept running in to report the crime, almost breaking the threshold!

What's so busy is that all the yamen are so worried that they don't even know how to solve this matter!

Many people were reporting on Bai Zhentang's memorial. Suddenly, it became the most concerning thing in the court!

Early the next morning, as soon as Bai Zhentang went to court, he received many reports from ministers!

One of the ministers suddenly took a quick step forward and took a step forward.

His expression was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there have been frequent robbery cases in various places recently. At this stage, there is no clue to solve this matter, but I have learned a piece of news!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhentang's face suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why did Aiqing say this?"

"Because I received news that the convoy that was robbed recently also encountered Wang Yuan's convoy, but they did not rob Wang Yuan's, they only robbed other people's!"

The minister's face was very serious. She frowned and said in a deep voice: "So I think maybe Wang Yuan did this."

"That's right!"

Hearing this, the faces of several ministers around him suddenly became very solemn. Their eyes were a little serious, and they said unhappily: "I feel that this matter does have something to do with Wang Yuan." It’s an inescapable relationship!”

"Wang Yuan opened up trade routes before and could safely transport goods to various places. Perhaps he is no longer satisfied with simply transporting goods. He wants to block other people's shipments so as to monopolize all trade routes and keep his family alone. Big purpose!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wang Yuan is very scheming. Although the trick he used this time is a bit too obvious, who knows if he did it deliberately to let us see through this trick and tell us what it is." What about others who framed him?"

"Furthermore, Wang Yuan's goods were transported safely, which has caused quite a stir in the hearts of the people. Many people feel that he must have done this!"

"Bandits are out and about, the people are in panic, and the caravans are suffering terribly. Your Majesty, this Wang Yuan's scheme is really very vicious!"

At this moment, almost all the ministers in the court were speaking ill of Wang Yuan with dissatisfied expressions!

They subconsciously believed that Wang Yuan must have done this!

Bai Zhentang's expression was very serious.

His face was particularly solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Prince, haven't I already handed this matter over to you for investigation? Have you found any problems?"

Hearing this, Bai Qingcang immediately took a step forward. He bowed to Bai Zhentang respectfully, and then said seriously: "Father, during this time, I have been investigating this matter!"

"This matter is indeed as the ministers said. The robbers one by one seem to have agreed that as long as there is a caravan, they will rob, loot and burn, and they will commit all kinds of evil!"

"But they didn't attack Wang Yuan's motorcade. Not only that, they were also very polite to them!"

Bai Qingcang looked solemn and said again: "I have encountered this group of people before, and their methods of committing crimes are very skilled, as if they were deliberately trained."

"And they are also very cunning. After I caught them, they swallowed poison without hesitation and died. This shows how terrifying the people behind all this are!"

Bai Qingcang's face was very ugly, and he spoke in a deep voice, and said again: "I have been listening to the analysis of the ministers just now, and I guess that this matter may really be done by Wang Yuan!"

"Well, if that's the case, have you collected any evidence that points to Wang Yuan's doing this?"

Bai Zhentang asked lightly.

"Not yet, because these people are too cunning, and I have nothing to do against them for the time being."

"Since there is no conclusive evidence, it is really not in line with the rules to arrest Wang Yuan."

Bai Zhentang looked hesitant, and his eyes scanned the faces of everyone present one by one.
