[The Wind Rises in Luoyang] The Extraordinary Branches of the Festival

The outskirts of Shendu.Longmen Ferry.

Gao Bingzhu found something unusual as expected.The wooden house is newly built, some people are moving it, and some people are keeping watch.

This is a newly built base for swapping and transshipping Liaoshan copper materials.

If Jiale were here, she would definitely feel that it coincided with the timeline of the marriage between Baili and Liu.

Bai Liyan wanted to find a backer for his son, but how could it be so easy to find a backer?

It was obviously the Weeping Willow House in my own home, but it was taken over by the magpie's nest and used for some unclear activities.

Isn't Bailiyan the first to be held accountable for the loss of copper materials?Those who hide behind him can hide tightly.

The loss of copper material is not counted, and it has to be used to make weapons.Isn't Bailiyan the first to lose his head?At that time, even the son and the Baili clan will not be able to keep them.

Find a backer for my son!Just found a scourge!It will not fall without it, but it will fall if it has a "backer".

No, six engagements were made under the three letters, and the marriage has not yet been consummated, so Bailiyan is gone first.

Knowing that the Liu family has plots, they don't hurry to stop the loss, they have to catch the bus, the wedding will be held as usual, and there is no one left for Baili Shangshu.His son lacks such a backer?Can't live without it?

Looking for a backer... Looking for a backer also needs to find someone more reliable, right?

Not to mention that Bailiyan was kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.Really ignorant, the people behind the scenes will rush to attack him?Isn't it beautiful to keep it as a shield?

It can only be said that Bailiyan was too worried about his son, and he had to find a backer for him no matter what.Even though Liu Xiang was found to have made a mistake, he was lucky enough to think that it could be remedied, redeemed, and corrected.To have illusions about others is to be cruel to yourself.

It's a pity that Jia Le is not here, and the above-mentioned slanders are all in vain.

Jia Le didn't come, but someone came.

Neiwei Yuehua Jun, Wu Siyue.

It is not unusual for Wu Siyue to come here.Lian Fang has eyes and ears.Not only did she know Gao Bingzhu's whereabouts, she also knew about Bailang.

Gao Bingzhu may not be easy to follow, but Bailang is much easier.

Wu Siyue followed all the way out of the city and arrived at Longmen Ferry.

Bailang was surprised that Wu Siyue knew him, but Gao Bingzhu was much calmer.It can almost be regarded as a peer, and talking too much is just a means.

"What are they moving?"

"Dropped Liaoshan copper." Gao Bingzhu said.

Only then did Wu Siyue know that the small note that the beggar gave her last night with the words "copper material" written on it was written by Gao Bingzhu, implying that there was something wrong with her copper material.And the problem of copper material is right in front of us at this moment.

If we talk about cooperation, we should cooperate well. The two of them didn't even have a little better communication.Wu Siyue didn't know what was going to happen, so she came alone.Watching helplessly, the gangsters wanted to transfer the copper material away, but there was nothing they could do.

If she brought the inner guards, wouldn't she be able to catch them all at once?

Going back to ask for reinforcements at this time, maybe Gao Bingzhu wanted to dismiss her, so Wu Siyue sent Bailang away.

Gao Bingzhu really wanted to send Wu Siyue away.

He has his reasons.Why are you catching these gangsters?If you catch them, they are a bunch of stubborn people who don't know how to speak. It's better to follow the vines and see where they transport the copper materials.

However, Wu Siyue refused to leave for a while, so now the two of them watched the gangsters transfer the copper away.

Speaking of which, the culprits were also extremely vicious. Li Fu, who had just unloaded and loaded the cargo, would kill him as soon as he said it, what's the matter?If you robbed the copper material this time, you won't rob it next time?Or do we need to change batches of strength next time, use batches and kill batches?Are you not afraid of being suspicious?The wooden houses are all built, so what's wrong with just keeping these dozen or so Lifu?

In short, the thugs had their reasons. They packed up the copper materials and were about to leave. Before leaving, they locked Lifu into the wooden house and burned them to death.The newly built wooden houses are also gone.

Wu Siyue wanted to put out the fire, Gao Bingzhu wanted to track the carriage, one wanted to show up while the gangsters were still there, and the other was afraid of scaring the snake, so they had a dispute.Fortunately, the gangsters finally left, and the two immediately went their separate ways.

Gao Bingzhu went to chase the carriage, but he was worried and came back halfway.

Now the clue to the whereabouts of the copper material was also broken.Fortunately, there was no danger, Wu Siyue was rescued.

If he doesn't come back, Wu Siyue will be buried in the flames.

This was the sixth time Wu Siyue saw Gao Bingzhu.It was also the first time they cooperated after investigating the case file in the Imperial Guard.

The cooperation was not very good, but a fire adventure gave the two a budding relationship.

Reinforcements often came in good time.In time, the copper carriage could not catch up, and the people had been rescued from the fire.

Reinforcements come to clean up the battlefield.

Song Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, took a look at Gao Bingzhu.Wu Siyue had no choice but to dispatch the Furong Peony Order to save Gao Bingzhu.

There is something wrong with Song Liang.Gao Bingzhu was obviously being investigated by the Neiwei Mansion and Dali Temple, and your Ministry of War was at most assisting. Even Mr. Yuehua of the Neiwei Mansion said that Gao Bingzhu was not the murderer, and he was beaten back with the sentence "don't explain to him".Who is investigating the case?

If Wu Siyue didn't have the order of Furong Peony, Gao Bingzhu would have been taken away by him.

If Gao Bingzhu was really taken away by him, he would probably be a corpse in the next moment.

To put it bluntly, Song Liang was filled with righteous indignation, defending Bailiyan and upholding justice; to put it darkly, Song Liang was eager to find a scapegoat and hastily closed Bailiyan's case.

Gao Bingzhu was moved.

Because Wu Siyue actually sacrificed the lotus peony order bestowed by the sage, and was willing to be his guarantor.

This is what he did not expect, and it was also what Song Liang did not expect.

Baili Hongyi ran to two families in one day.Both families did not attend the wedding banquet due to business.

There is only the last one left, Huang An, the supervisor of the Ministry of Industry.

When Baili Hongyi returned home, Qiniang was still there, "Why are you still here?"

Didn't he ask Uncle Wu to withdraw the marriage contract?

Qiniang was tidying up the study that had been turned into a mess by Baili Hongyi, "I think the study is a bit messy. How is the investigation of Erlang's case going?"

"What's the matter?" Baili Hongyi threw out two words indifferently.

"Oh, there are some family matters I want to discuss with you..."

"Family affairs in Baili Mansion are handled by Uncle Wu. You can go home."

"It's getting late today..."

"Then go and rest. Let Uncle Wu take you back tomorrow."

Baili Hongyi unfolded the guest list for the wedding banquet and ignored her.Qiniang left silently.

Baili Hongyi devoted himself to investigating the real culprit who killed his grandfather, and he didn't care about the clansmen who rushed to the door arguing for the division of the family property and the position of the head of the family.

"Whoever you want to be the head of the family will be. How to divide the family property is up to you to discuss."

After finishing speaking, he left, as if he didn't even care about his future livelihood.

The clansmen rushed in and broke into Baili Mansion.There is nothing worse than this posture.

However, a decree sent by Dali Temple made everyone dumbfounded.

Seeing that Wu Siyue was awake, Gao Bingzhu wanted to get up and leave.Was stopped by Wu Siyue.

"Last night was... to save you."

"I know. The method of breathing to save people has existed since ancient times. You don't need to explain. You sacrificed your life last night to save me. In the future, don't do such things that risk your life."

"Don't follow me from now on."

Gao Bingzhu left.Only two people know how much affection is contained in a few words.

Gao Bingzhu is going to Longmen Ferry.He wanted to see what the reinforcements had gained last night.

The carriage was stopped, the copper material was confiscated, and the criminals arrested 12 people, the leader of whom escaped.

"Since you can keep up with the carriage, wouldn't it be good to follow the vine?" Jia Le said, shaking his fan.

What is the confiscation of this batch of copper materials, where the previous copper materials go is the key.

"Maybe Lord Yuehua didn't make it clear?" Nong Yue asked.

"Wu Siyue may not be clear, but Gao Bingzhu definitely knows." Jia Le said, "Oh, can't we have a good communication and cooperation?"

The killer's hand halberd was made of Liaoshan copper, which Jiale knew through Gao Bingzhu.So Gao Bingzhu must be concerned about where the copper material goes.

Another action without communication.

But... Jia Le gave a fan, "If there are traitors among the reinforcements, that's a different matter. It's not bad to be able to arrest these people."

"Princess, the reinforcements are the Gyeonggi Camp led by Minister of War Song Liang." Fufeng said.

"Princess, are there traitors in the Gyeonggi Camp?" Nong Yue was dumbfounded.

"It's not a traitor, it's also a mediocrity." Jia Le said bluntly, "Song Liang didn't think it was the first time that the copper material was swapped, did he? He happened to catch up with him the first time? It wasn't the first time, and he didn't go yet. Follow the clues and wipe out their lair?"

"Isn't Lord Yuehua also...?" Nongyue quickly swallowed.Song Liang is mediocre, and so is Jun Yuehua.Neither of them chased the carriage.

Fufeng: "Princess, didn't they catch the murderer? Maybe they can find out something."

Gao Bingzhu stood by a pond.He is sitting on the sidelines.

This is the only water source nearby.The murderer at the head will definitely show up here.

Pei Jian of Dali Temple took the sage's decree to Baili Mansion.When you enter the door, look for the Patriarch of the Baili family.

Now there is no competition.

Because the copper material was transferred midway, Bailiyan was designated as corrupt ink, and the saint wanted to thoroughly investigate Baili's property.

Fearing that they would be implicated, the clansmen shrank back one by one.In the end, Liu Qiniang, who neither left nor stayed, knelt down to receive the imperial edict on behalf of her fiancé-in-law.

In this way, whether the future of the Baili family is good or bad, the position of the head of the family has been determined - Baili Hongyi.

With the arrival of the imperial decree, Baili's property was sealed off, Baili's mansion was unsustainable, and the servants in the mansion were dismissed.In the huge Baili Mansion, only the housekeeper Baili Wu and the guard Shen Fei are left.

There is also Liu Qiniang, Liu Ran, who is never going to stay, and her maid, Yunzhi.

Liu Qiniang knew that if she left now, she would never be able to enter the gate of Baili Mansion again.

Dali Temple Minister Gao Sheng accused Bailiyan of being greedy for ink in front of the saint, and the saint was sullen.

"Bailiyan is the cleanest person in God's City, is he greedy for ink?"

"Princess, Dali Temple has gone to investigate the properties of the Baili family. Will the Baili family not collapse?" Nongyue said worriedly.

Jia Le: "'Checking' is not 'copying'. After checking, it will be returned if there is no problem. Pei Jian can still trust his work."

Even if some are scraped off, most of them will still come back.

"But Baili Shangshu has been designated as greedy for ink!" Nong Yue said.

"Oh," Jiale sighed, "The one who doesn't believe that Baili Gong is greedy for ink is a saint, and the one who ordered to convict and thoroughly investigate Baili's property is also a saint. It's fine to investigate first and then convict. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?"

"Princess." Nong Yue hurriedly stopped in a low voice.

Jia Le was still dissatisfied, "Neiwei and Dali Temple just settled the case like this? Greedy ink... Where have you found the copper material for greedy ink? Are you busy convicting people?"

This time Nongyue didn't stop her.As long as it's not talking about saints, her princess's life will be fine.

Fufeng: "Feng Yulang said that all the copper mines owned by Shangshu Baili were confiscated by Song Liang, and they are now in Daying, Gyeonggi." It is the batch confiscated by Longmen Ferry.

Jia Le sneered, "Didn't it mean that the Tiantian Project has been short of materials for a long time? It has been a long time since it was paid just once? It has been a long time since there are only a dozen stones and copper materials. Who are you fooling all day long!" Nonsense Literally, the sage actually believed it?

Nong Yue hurriedly blocked her way: "Princess."

Neiwei Fengyulang and Yuehuajun are the treasures of their Wu family.The sage should not be happy to hear the princess's words.

Where the copper material went, the Wu family didn't care about it themselves, so why is the princess so anxious?

Jia Le still said: "By deceiving the superiors, whitewashing the peace, Wu You never knows whether he is helping the Wu family or harming the Wu family."

"Princess..." Nongyue hurriedly served tea and brought it to Jiale's lips.

Baili Hongyi hastily left behind the clansmen who besieged Baili Mansion, and was going to visit Huang An.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see Huang An just after entering the door, but saw Huang An's mourning hall.

Huang An died the day before the wedding banquet, no wonder he was not able to attend the wedding banquet.

Baili Erlang was upright, he told people that he wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy.To be reprimanded and expelled.

Fortunately, he pointed out that Huang An's cause of death was suspicious, and Huang An's widow finally agreed to an autopsy.

The copper material came from Cangshan, and the informer also came from Cangshan. Could it be that the informer was related to the corruption of the Cangshan copper mine?Many people have this question, and so do saints.

This time both Wu Youjue and Gao Sheng reported the truth: I don't know yet.

The informer was hunted down all the way from Cangshan to Shendu, and all the guards and soldiers along the way were dispersed. It is obvious that the secret to be reported is not trivial.

But Baili Erlang was the one who was looking for this big secret. It can be seen that this secret is related to Baili's family and the Cangshan Copper Mine, but it is not just as simple as the copper mine being corrupted.

There is a bigger conspiracy behind this.

Jia Le first suspected My Niang, second Liu Xiang, and third, she still secretly suspected her cousin, Princess Yongchuan.

But to start, she will start with Liu Xiang, Gong Xunshan.

As expected, Yaoniang is a killer, to put it bluntly, a knife in the hands of a conspiracy, even if she knows something, she is limited.Since she had something to do with Gao Bingzhu, Jiale put My Niang in front of Gao Bingzhu.

It's a pity that Gao Bingzhu didn't listen to her.

She wanted to get close to Yong Chuan, but unfortunately the two had been at odds since they were young, and they had been separated for several years, and one lived in the palace and the other lived outside the palace, so it was almost impossible to get along.

So she wanted to keep an eye on Liu Xiang.

It's a pity that she has a record of returning home late at night, and the King of Dongchuan somehow found out about it, and punished her to stay in the princess' mansion.Even Fufeng was not allowed to go out.

Jiale had to stop for a while.

Shengren didn't believe that Bailiyan was greedy for ink, and he wasn't sure what the whistleblower was doing, but the copper mine was exchanged under her old man's nose, and Lianfang had no news at all.This made her dissatisfied with Young Master Chu Xin.

The pressure on Young Master Chu increased sharply.He knew it was Lian Fang's traitor, but he couldn't find out for a while.

Baili Hongyi opened the coffin for an autopsy, and it turned out that Huang An's death was not an accident, but was killed and set on fire.

Huang An, the supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, and the supervisor of the Paradise Project, was probably like his grandfather, who knew something he shouldn't know, and was silenced.

Sure enough, Gao Bingzhu was by the pond and caught the leader of the murderer who secretly exchanged copper materials at Longmen Ferry.

This is the No.15 person he met in Chunqiu Dao.Finally someone who could speak.

"Wherever the signal points, I will ship the copper ore there. The token is for me to trade."

Gao Bingzhu then harvested a token that he didn't know what to trade for.

Baili Hongyi checked Huang An's relics and got an order for Persian turmeric oil.This involved Huang An's concubine, the Zhai family.
