As soon as Bai Yutang's words came out, everyone was surprised, Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Then who else?"

Bai Yutang sneered: "Fortunately, Grand Master Pang managed to get a fine for his grandson's pleading for a few years, but he didn't know that his good grandson's corruption was given to others, and he wanted to rebel."

Bai Jincheng immediately stood up and stopped his words: "Don't say anything, just follow me into the palace. Zhaohui, Yuehua, you go back to training."

Zhan Zhao also said: "This matter is of great importance, Yutang should tell the officials in person, this is not something we should know. I will take Yumo to see the adults to express their grievances."

So everyone split up.

Bai Jincheng and Bai Yutang rode their horses and went to the palace. Jade Lion still didn't like Niu Niu's eyes all the way. Niu Niu trotted all the way very calmly.

The guards guarding the gate came out and greeted each other cheerfully: "Commander Bai, the officials announced you again? Come and give me Niuniu, brother Niuniu will take you to eat carrots."

Niu Niu flaunted her head to the Jade Lion—look how popular I am!

Bai Jincheng signaled Bai Yutang to get off his horse, and waved to the guard, "Take this jade lion too, and make sure they don't fight."

The guard led the two horses, and chatted with Niuniu as he walked away: "You still fight? How can the little girl bully others... er, bully other horses? Look, this kid doesn't even have you." sturdy……"

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky - he had already entangled enough about the size of the two horses.

The remaining guards saw a beautiful woman in white clothes beside Bai Jincheng, and asked, "Commander Bai, are you..."

Bai Jincheng said in a low voice with a serious expression: "My friend Bai Yutang, we have something important to report to the officials, so go and ask Chen Banban if the officials are here now."

The guards immediately became serious, and the leader of the guards on duty hurriedly sent someone to find Chen Lin, and then welcomed the two of them to the duty room and waited.

After a while, the guards who went to report came back in a hurry, and took the two of them to the Yanying Hall where Zhao Zhen rested when he retired.

Zhao Zhen was taking a nap with his son in his arms before, when he suddenly heard Chen Lin say that Bai Jincheng brought Bai Yutang, and he had something important to tell him, thinking that Bai Jincheng was not an outsider anyway, so he asked him to bring him to Yanying Hall up.

This was the first time Bai Yutang saw Zhao Zhen. He had never met Zhao Zhen when he was in Kaifeng Mansion before. Just as he was about to salute when he entered the hall, he heard a very gentle voice saying, "Yutang doesn't need to be too polite."

Fifth Master was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Zhen standing there in plain and clean cotton clothes with a baby in his arms, looking at him with a gentle smile.

Bai Jincheng went over to look at Xiao Changsheng, stretched out his finger to touch his face, and then asked Zhao Zhen contemptuously: "Why did you call 'Yutang' all of a sudden? You are so familiar... Changsheng was taught to ruin you gone."

Before Changsheng, he was woken up by his father and cried a few times, but now he calmed down, seeing Bai Jincheng lowered his head to tease him, so he reached out to grab the red tassel on his head crown.

Zhao Zhen simply thrust the child into Bai Jincheng's hand, "Hold him." Then he asked Bai Yutang to sit down.

Although Bai Yutang had heard from Bai Jincheng that the two were friends, he did not expect that the two of them got along like this... He didn't know how to describe it anyway, he was a little shocked and dazed, and subconsciously followed Zhao Zhen to the table After sitting down, he took a sip of tea from the tea cup handed by Zhao Zhen, only to realize that he actually drank the tea poured by the official!

Fifth Master was stunned, okay?

Zhao Zhen watched him holding a teacup and couldn't help laughing, "Don't be so surprised, right? Didn't Hanzhang tell you about me?"

After all, Bai Yutang was an arrogant person, so he let go of what he said, nodded, and said, "I said it, but I didn't expect the official family to be so approachable."

Bai Jincheng hugged Changsheng and sat beside Zhao Zhen, laughing, "He has a good temper."

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Don't you have something important to tell me? What is it?"

"Someone wants to rebel!" Bai Jincheng said, "Do you still remember the grandson of Grand Master Pang? The one who was exiled to Lingnan before."

"Him?" Zhao Zhen wondered, "Isn't he all exiled?"

Bai Yutang shook his head: "He is not the mastermind. After I investigated his criminal evidence, I accidentally discovered that one of his tents had been killed, but before he died, he left blood on it and covered it with his body. I follow the blood The word guide found several ledgers, which recorded Sun Zhen's money transactions, but the amount was huge, different from what we found before, and the ledgers were still incomplete. I felt a little strange, so I went all the way to track down... ..."

It took him a lot of effort to find the murderer who killed the accountant, but the murderer couldn't beat him, and before he died, he even threw the other parts of the account book he had taken from the accountant's house down the mountain.After Bai Yutang dealt with him, he went down the mountain, but he didn't find the account book at the bottom of the mountain, thinking that someone might have picked it up.He investigated again, only to find out that the person who picked up the ledger might be the passing scholar Yan Chasan, so he pretended to be a down-and-out scholar under the pseudonym Chinchilla and approached Yan Chasan, but ended up becoming friends with Yan Chasan instead. After Yan Chasan was sent to the destination, the ledger was taken away and the investigation continued.

Later, he found a place called Taisuizhuang, the owner of which was Ma Gang, the nephew of Ma Chaoxian, the head of the four-valued treasury of the court.

"That Ma Gang calls himself 'Thousand Years' at home, and the village has taken in many well-known people in the world," Bai Yutang snorted coldly, "In his family, concubines are still called concubines. Isn't this a rebellion? What is it? After going back and forth to his village several times, it was found that more than half of the property embezzled by Sun Zhen was transported to his Taisui Village, and after several rounds, it was transported to Bawang Village of his brother Ma Qiang, and there was another place in Bawang Village. It’s called the Recruiting Hall, and this recruiting hall recruits heroes and heroes, so many powerful people from all corners of the world go to join him, they wield guns all day long, they are very powerful, and they come and go, even the king of Xiangyang, Zhao Jue, has contacts with him.”

Zhao Zhen's expression became serious, and he was silent in thought.Bai Jincheng asked, "Zhenzhen, what's the relationship between Zhao Jue and you?"

Bai Yutang was dumbfounded—what's this called? "Zhen Zhen"? !Call an emperor "Zhenzhen"? !

"It's my uncle, the fief is in Xiangyang," Zhao Zhen sighed, "What does Yutang mean, my uncle wants to rebel?"

Bai Yutang came back to his senses and shook his head: "I didn't find out about this, I just suspected it. After all, it's too ridiculous for a few Jianghu people to say that they want to rebel. It would be more credible if a prince wanted to rebel. But all the clues came to Bawang All the signs indicate that Sun Zhen’s money went to Bawang Zhuang Maqiang’s hands, and never went anywhere else after that.”

"In that case, why don't you find out by calling Ma Chaoxian over and asking?" Bai Jincheng turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Then Ma Gang and Ma Qiang are all his nephews?"

Zhao Zhen smiled wryly: "Ma Chaoxian retired half a month ago and returned to his hometown. I'm afraid it's impossible to find him now."

"Okay, then let's go and wipe out all those Taisui Villages and Bawang Villages," Bai Jincheng said, "Can't we find out if this is the case?"

Bai Yutang gave him a squinting look: "The masters are unknown, what reason do you use to suppress them?"

Bai Jincheng was surprised: "Is there any reason for this? First charge them with crimes, and we'll talk about it after they are suppressed."

"But this was investigated secretly by me, and there is no obvious evidence at all," Bai Yutang said with an expression of "you idiot", "they didn't show anything on the surface, and those belongings can't be used as evidence at all. They can say that it is their own family property. As for the titles of 'thousand' and 'concubine', they can also say that they have never mentioned it at all."

Xiaowei Bai shook his fingers with a proud face, "Yutang, you don't understand this, you should take the people down first, and then find a way to get them to confess."

Bai Yutang snorted: "If you want to be impeached, go ahead and ask the officials if you don't believe me."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "You must find out the real evidence, otherwise Yushi will definitely impeach you for abusing your power."

"If it wasn't for Yan Chasan's accident, I would still be investigating now. The water here is very deep, do you think it's that simple?" Fifth Master still looked at Bai Jincheng with the eyes of a fool, "Besides, if the King of Xiangyang really has objections, Wouldn't the destruction of Taisui Village and Bawang Village be a shock to the snake?"

"No, you didn't understand what I meant." Bai Jincheng finally realized that his expression had gone wrong, "I didn't mean to charge them with treason, but to charge them with random crimes, such as robbing civilian girls It’s like killing people and getting goods. After they are caught, they will be interrogated for treason.”

The other two immediately looked at him with the eyes of a hooligan.

Zhao Zhen touched his chin and sighed, "Hanzhang, why are you such a rascal?"

Captain Bai proudly raised his chin, "This is called fighting evil with evil."

Bai Yutang poured cold water on him: "Don't be complacent, Taisui Village is easy to talk about, but there are many masters in Bawangzhuang, and many famous people in the world are in that recruiting hall. Have you heard of Hei Yaohu Zhihua? I'm about the same as that cat. Besides him, there are little Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan, the great sage Deng Che, etc., who are also masters. There are countless other second- and third-rate masters. Only those under your command have been trained for more than two months I’m afraid you will suffer heavy losses. Even if Mao’er, I, Zhaohui, Yuehua, and Di Qing go with you, we can’t guarantee that none of your men will be sacrificed.”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and asked Bai Jincheng: "Hanzhang, how long will your soldiers need to train before they can reach the minimum qualification standard you told me?"

Bai Jincheng raised Xiao Changsheng's chubby hand and spread his fingers.

"Five months..." Zhao Zhen was slightly disappointed, "That's okay, on the one hand, secretly investigate, and on the other hand, step up military training. For the secret investigation, please ask Yutang?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Okay."
