Wulin Xiaohui

Zhu Tang made a bow: "We are rangers from Dingzhou, and I have something to ask your Excellency."

"what's up?"

Zhu Tang then told about Xiuxiu in detail, and after Bai Xiaosheng finished listening, he looked Xiuxiu up and down through the courtyard wall: "This little girl looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, what kind of fool would Do you think she is a witch?"

If the few of them hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that those decent people in the world would face a little girl like Xiuxiu. I believe that even if someone from Youdumen looks like a three-year-old child on the surface, they may actually be possessed of demon skills and full of evil. What's more, Xiuxiu does carry a token that looks like Youdumen, which is even more frightening.

"You want me to spread the news that this little girl is not from Youdu Sect?"

Zhu Tang nodded.Bai Xiaosheng stroked his white-faced and beardless chin, and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to do one thing for me."

Shen Yizhou said: "Your Excellency, just say it, as long as it is not against nature, we will definitely do it."

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened when he heard this, "Will I let you do something unreasonable?"

Several people hurriedly said no, and flattered him a few more words, Bai Xiaosheng was a little satisfied, pointed to the box at his feet and said: "This thing is to dry these and the books in my room."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, they never thought that the first thing would be so simple, so they hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Tang rushed forward with a stride, lifted the box next to Bai Xiaosheng, put it on the open space in the middle of the yard, opened the lid of the box, took out the books inside, stacked them neatly, and Xiuxiu squatted beside him, Help get the book out.

Shen Yizhou and Ye Zang walked into Bai Xiaosheng's study room, facing the full bookshelves.

Bai Xiaosheng ordered from the side: "Take all these books out to dry, take them back before the sun goes down, and put them away as they were." After speaking, he walked out and sat on the low stool under the eaves to read for a while. , greeted Xiuxiu: "Little girl, come here."

Xiuxiu glanced at Zhu Tang, and Zhu Tang gave her a comforting look: "It's okay, let's go."

Bai Xiaosheng watched Xiuxiu walk up to him, patted the low stool beside him, and motioned her to sit down.

After Xiuxiu sat down, Bai Xiaosheng said, "I just heard that you have a token from Youdu Sect?"

Xiuxiu heard what the righteous people who besieged her said, and took out the hairpin in her bosom.Bai Xiaosheng took the hairpin, weighed it in his hand, put it in front of his eyes, turned it over and over again, and finally returned it to Xiuxiu: "It seems to be an ordinary hairpin."

Xiuxiu put the hairpin away and patted it on: "Uncle gave it to me. Uncle Ye said that this hairpin should be put away and not let others see it."

Bai Xiaosheng was surprised: "Oh? Then why are you willing to show it to me?"

"Brother Tang said that you are someone who can help Xiuxiu."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, his three chins stacked together: "He's right, even if you're from the Youdu Sect, as long as you haven't done anything bad, you shouldn't be hunted down."

Xiuxiu shook her head like a rattle: "Xiuxiu has never done anything bad."

"Really?"

"Really!" After Xiuxiu finished speaking, she looked to the side and whispered, "I was the one who put sand in brother Zhutang's shoes yesterday."

Bai Xiaosheng glanced in Zhu Tang's direction, he was putting more books on the courtyard wall.

"Why did you put sand in his shoes?"

"Because he wouldn't let me watch the fights."

Shen Yizhou and Ye Zang were carrying out a sack of books, and said loudly to Bai Xiaosheng: "Mr. Bai, this is the last bag."

"Bai." Bai Xiaosheng said, "My surname is Bai."

"Ah?" Shen Yizhou put down the sack, asked Ye Zang to tidy it up, and walked in front of Bai Xiaosheng, "Bai Xiaosheng?"

Bai Xiaosheng let out a chuckle: "There is no such a coincidence, my surname is Bai, and I have only one name."

"Bai Qiu." Shen Yizhou said, "Sir and Bai Gan belong to the same family."

Bai Qiudao: "Bai Gan is indeed the ancestor."

Seeing that Bai Qiu's expression did not seem to be fake, Shen Yizhou was surprised, and hurriedly asked a question: "Those books you just moved...?"

Bai Qiu nodded, there are many classics left by the ancestors.

"Baigan is very talented, and what is even rarer is that he is humble and never arrogant. If the previous dynasty had not been destroyed, I don't know how many famous works by our ancestors would have been added in this world." It was Ye Zang who had finished drying all the books and came from the courtyard The other came over and joined the conversation.

Baigan, the most famous wit in the previous dynasty, is said to be able to write a beautiful essay while the wine is still warm, but at the age of 16, he was enshrined as a teacher by the royal family and enjoyed the favor of the world.In the former imperial court at that time, there were two people whose names were resounding throughout Jiuzhou, and even people in the Jianghu who lived in the grass had heard of them.

Baigan and Li Xuan, one is famous for his poetic talent, the other is first famous for his political talent, but in the end he was notorious for treachery and corruption.

It is said that Bai An and Li Xuan were like-minded friends in the early years, but after they both entered the court, they gradually parted ways, proving to the world what it means to be different and not to seek each other.Such two people gradually drifted apart, and in the end neither of them had a good end. However, the world sighed for Bai Gan's death and celebrated Li Xuan's demise.

Bai Qiu listened to Ye Zang's words, and there was a trace of longing and regret on his face: "When I was young, every time I heard my family tell the story of my ancestors, I couldn't help admiring and proud, and at the same time felt that the law of heaven was unfair."

Seeing him disappointed, Shen Yizhou hurriedly comforted him: "Now Mr. Bai also uses his pen as a sword to criticize current events and convey information, which can be regarded as echoing with your ancestors from afar, and is in the same line."

Bai Qiu felt ashamed, suddenly thought of something, stood up from the low stool, and rummaged through the ancient books drying in the courtyard.

Bai Qiu rummaged for a long time before he found a piece of paper from a tome whose cover was so worn that the name could not be seen, and ran back holding the paper.

"This is a calligraphy left by our ancestors."

Ye Zang reached out to take the piece of paper, and found that it was a piece of parchment, which seemed to be a letter written to someone.After roughly reading the content of the letter quickly, several people were surprised that it turned out to be a letter addressed to Li Xuan.

The content of the letter is unremarkable, just like an ordinary greeting between friends, but it is different from the rumors that Bai Gan and Li Xuan did not communicate with each other in the later period of old age and death.

At the end of the letter, Bai Gan hinted to Li Xuan that the court would take action to make him be careful.This letter is in Baigan's hands, so it probably hasn't been sent.Perhaps although Baigan has different ideas from Li Xuan, he still couldn't bear the blood of his former friends to splash on the court after all.It's a pity that this letter was not sent to Li Xuan as Bai Gan wished, otherwise a generation of traitors might escape to a small border town and die.

Shen Yizhou repeatedly shook his head and said it's a pity, but Ye Zang didn't respond after reading it, and asked persistently on the parchment, "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that if this letter is sent out, many people may survive."

"But when Li Xuan was punished by the nine clans, the common people were overjoyed and rushed to tell each other to celebrate the downfall of this treacherous official."

Shen Yizhou said: "Li Xuan deserves to die, but how innocent are those implicated?"

Bai Qiudao: "I don't know if those implicated are innocent or not, but Li Xuan must deserve to die." He approached mysteriously, "Before Li Xuan died, he hid countless gold and silver treasures in places that no one knew. Wealth and wealth can rival a country."

Zhu Tang's eyes lit up when he heard "gold and silver treasure", and he asked anxiously, "What gold and silver treasure, where is it hidden?"

Bai Qiudao: "More than ten years ago, a tomb robber dug up the tomb of Zhang Zhidong, an official who was in charge of raiding the Li family at that time, and looted all the valuable burial objects inside. The notes written by Zhang Zhidong during his lifetime were thrown outside the robber's cave. Notes, found that Zhang Zhidong recorded what he saw and heard at Li Xuan's house.".

Zhu Tang continued: "It is said that the carved beams and paintings of Li Xuan's family and the furnishings in the house were extremely luxurious at that time, but there was nothing else, no gold, silver and jewelry, and even a pair of ivory chopsticks..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Qiu interrupted him slowly: "It is indeed recorded in the notes."

It seems that Li Xuan knew that he would die a long time ago, so he moved all the things that could be moved in advance.It's a pity that he was punished by the nine clans and lost his life. What's the use of keeping those gold, silver and jewels?

When the sun went down, everyone moved the books that were drying in the yard back to the study room.

Bai Qiu looked at the neatly arranged books with satisfaction, and said calmly under the expectant eyes of everyone: "The second thing is easier."

He stretched out a hand and spread his palm: "You can send a message, this number."

Shen Yizhou reacted first: "Collect money?"

Bai Qiu nodded: "Those who want to send messages to me, those with reliable and valuable sources don't need money, those with reliable sources and no value get 50 taels, those with unreliable sources but valuable ones don't send them, and those with unreliable and worthless sources get 500 taels " He pointed to the note pasted on the door of the study, which clearly marked the price of the Jianghu news that was sent out, but everyone was so busy just now that they didn't see it.

After listening to it, Shen Yizhou checked the notes again: "Do you not send out those with reliable and valuable sources?"

"Of course, if the news that everyone pays attention to, if it is sent by mistake, it will cause trouble."

Shen Yizhou had to admire Bai Xiaosheng's professional ethics, no wonder he had such a unique status in the world.After thinking about it, I felt wrong. Since the price has been clearly marked, wouldn't my group of people help him with a day's work in vain?Then he said angrily: "Then you still let us move the books."

"I didn't force you, you did it voluntarily."

One sentence made Shen Yizhou speechless, this Bai Xiaosheng was really proficient in conversing, he let those who asked him to work for a day in vain, but he sat and rested leisurely.

500 taels is not a small amount. It is really not easy to take out so much money at once. Several people don’t have that much money with them, and it takes time and effort to get it outside.

Bai Qiu saw their embarrassment, and smiled slightly: "The little girl is so cute, I can let you write an IOU."

"real?!"

"But there is one condition..."

"There are conditions..."

Bai Qiu rubbed his chubby face, and said with a smile, "500 taels, if it's Yinyin, I can help you do things when I get it, but if you can help me get something, I can send it immediately. An IOU."

"what?"

"A jewel."

"gem?"

"A yellow gem, that gem is inlaid on the scabbard of Windbreaker."

Shen Yizhou and Ye Zang looked at each other, Bai Qiu probably didn't know that they knew Sha Qinghe and had already seen Duanfengdao.The Broken Wind Knife caused an uproar in the Jianghu. Unexpectedly, even Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have this knife.

Shen Yizhou looked at Bai Qiu suspiciously: "What do you want Duanfeng Knife for?"

"I didn't want the Broken Wind Knife, but I just wanted to take a look at the gems on the scabbard. After you get it, lend me the scabbard to look at it for three days. After three days, you go back with the scabbard and gems. After three days, you can see it." How about 500 taels? Is this a good deal?"

"Okay, we promise you." It was Ye Zang who spoke, Shen Yizhou pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "Why did you agree so easily, there must be a conspiracy, we still find a way to go back and get 500 taels Bar."

But Ye Zang shook his head: "The bank in Dingzhou can't withdraw 500 taels at a time. If you want to go to Liangtang, it will take ten days to come and go. If you fail to keep it for such a long time, you will be targeted by those people. Let's deal with it first. When you meet Brother Sha, ask him to borrow the Broken Wind Knife."

Bai Qiu watched the two of them whispering with a smile from behind, with a confident attitude.

Shen Yizhou looked back at Bai Qiu: "Are you really just looking at it?"

Bai Qiu raised a hand: "I swear, if I take the Broken Wind Knife for myself, I will be struck by lightning and die without a place to die." Seeing that Shen Yizhou still refused to believe it, Bai Qiu sighed and said: "Actually, that gemstone is called Yuehen. It originally belonged to my Bai family. There is an inscription of our ancestors engraved on the bottom. It was a coincidence that it fell to the Northwest Hengdao Sect. After many years, everyone in the world knows that Duanfeng Dao belongs to the Hengdao Sect. , I don’t want to ask for it, but I want to get the inscription on it down to comfort the ancestors.”

In the end, Shen Yizhou was persuaded and gave Bai Qiu an IOU.Bai Qiu finally didn't have any troubles this time, took out a pen and paper and wrote a new issue of Jianghu Know-how, pointing out that the demon girl who was hunted down by many decent sects in the Jianghu recently was actually a demon girl who was hunted down by the demon sect ten years ago. The kidnapped daughter of an ordinary family became insane after being exposed to the brilliance of the devil, and escaped by coincidence when everyone in the devil sect was negligent in guarding against it.

Shen Yizhou read the article carefully, gave Ye Zang, Zhu Tang, and Uncle Guan a look, and then nodded in relief. He watched Bai Qiu fold the paper, grabbed a pigeon from the backyard, and put the paper into the pigeon. In the bamboo tube hanging on the leg.

Seeing him finish all this, the few people felt relieved, left Chenjiacun overnight, returned to the carriage, and went straight to Liangtang.

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng's news was sent out, Shen Yizhou asked Xiuxiu to continue to disguise herself for a few days, and then carefully removed the stickers on her face, and went to the street to show off, but no one came to provoke her again, so she gradually felt relieved.
