When Bai Yu had nothing to do, he received an order from Concubine Yi, and an auspicious golden tortoise came out of Qingzhou Mansion. He had just got married a few days ago, and the joy in his body was still there, so he was asked to welcome the auspicious golden tortoise back to the emperor.
The city is coming.
"Concubine Yi is so rude. I wanted to be her minion and do things that were inconvenient for her to do, but she treated me like a nephew and sent me on everything big and small."
Bai Yu thought about it carefully and felt that Concubine Yi treated him well. She welcomed envoys from various vassal states and welcomed auspicious golden turtles. These were very prestigious errands that others could not win.
It happened that Su Jinhua was sent back to the Jinnan Prince's Mansion. He also needed to recuperate, so it would be great to go out and relax.
Bai Yu wore a python robe and a jade belt, rode a Huohuang horse, followed by dozens of mounted guards, and headed for the Jingzhaofu Pier.
It is not good to be alone when welcoming an auspicious beetle. You must have some pomp, otherwise you will be too shabby to welcome auspiciousness.
When I arrived at Jingzhaofu Pier, I saw a huge official ship waiting there, with red lanterns hung high and dressed festively. Next to the official ship, there were two fully armed warships, escorting them, and there were also some people playing gongs and drums.
Joy band.
An official from the Ministry of Rites came over to greet him with a smile, bowed his hands, and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to King Ming. We have made arrangements for welcoming the auspicious King Ming. We are waiting for King Ming to arrive."
Bai Yu nodded slightly, said hello, and led dozens of mounted guards onto the boat.
The female river goddess of this river emerged from the water. Her hair was dozens of feet long and her body was covered with water mist. She smiled sweetly at Bai Yu and said, "King Ming, welcome the auspiciousness, and I will personally guide the boat."
"Thank you."
Bai Yu smiled and said that when he went to worship the mountain gods and river gods, he saw hundreds of them at once. He felt that the mountain gods and river gods were not so mysterious anymore. To put it bluntly, they were still gods enshrined by the Daqian Dynasty, that is, ministers.
The female river goddess sank to the bottom of the water. Bai Yu was curious about how she guided the boat herself. When his detective eyes opened, he found her holding the boat with both hands at the bottom of the boat... How could such a beautiful female river goddess have the nerve to wrong others like this?
, Alas, the river god also wants to live...it's not easy.
The female river goddess personally guided the boat. The speed was so exaggerated that with a "whoosh", it was like entering a time tunnel, and all the boats and the scenery on both sides of the river quickly went backwards.
The trip, which originally took three or four days, arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture in less than an hour.
Seeing the female river goddess emerging from the bottom of the boat, Bai Yu smiled and thanked her, then led officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, dozens of mounted guards, and a joyful band playing gongs and drums to Qingzhou Fucheng.
"Move!"
When they were approaching Qingzhou Fucheng, the official of the Ministry of Rites waved his hands like a "music conductor", "The rhythm cannot stop, the rhythm must be festive!"
It has to be said that under the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the music band playing gongs and drums really found the feeling. It was obviously more rhythmic, rhythmic and louder than the ordinary music band.
Bai Yu was a little funny, but didn't say anything.
Just arrived at the Qingzhou government office gate.
Dozens of officials, large and small, from the yamen hurried out, and they all knelt down before Bai Yu.
The magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture even ignored his image and hugged Bai Yu's Huohuang horse's legs.
There’s no need to do this to welcome auspiciousness, right? Bai Yu is a little confused….
The magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture was so old that he cried bitterly, "I beg King Ming to save Xianguan. Xianguan is about to retire and return to his hometown to live in peace and happiness. After what happened, it is not a pity for Xianguan to die, but Xianguan's son
The grandchildren are innocent."
Dozens of officials, large and small, also looked pale and kowtowed.
"King Ming, help me."
"My great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten in this life. If I have to be called upon in the future, I am willing to do the work of a dog or horse."...
The official of the Ministry of Etiquette's face darkened, and he had a bad feeling, "What's going on?"
The magistrate wiped away his tears with his broad sleeves and said, "The lower official is incompetent, and the auspicious golden tortoise has been snatched away by thieves."
Such things as auspiciousness are rare in the world. Even though the Daqian Dynasty was a vast country, it only took decades for an auspicious sign to appear. It was regarded by the Daqian Dynasty as a symbol of improved luck.
Lost auspiciousness
, this is a big deal, it could range from being dismissed from office, the men would be exiled to the Northern Wilderness, and the female family members would be sent to the Jiaofang Division for people's entertainment; at the worst, the family would be confiscated and the entire clan would be exterminated.
Because of the serious consequences, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture and dozens of officials, big and small, panicked and begged Bai Yu for help. The only one who could save them was Bai Yu. Bai Yu was the king of Ming Dynasty and a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother. One word could do it. This can save the lives of their whole family.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were furious, "Who is so bold and dares to snatch the auspiciousness of the dynasty without fear of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?"
Immediately afterwards, the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked sternly, "How to snatch it away? There are so many of you, and your grades are not too low. Who has such great ability? Is there something wrong with you?"
Bai Yu also felt that something was strange.
You must know that the prefect is the official official of a state, a serious fifth-rank official. Although he is not a high-ranking official above the third rank, the seventh-rank county magistrate is already very capable, not to mention the fifth-rank prefect, who is quite capable. beat.
"How dare Xiaguan and others make mistakes? The imperial court attaches great importance to auspiciousness, and Xiaguan and others also know that almost all the officials, including Xiaguan, are guarding Xiangrui and waiting for the court to send someone to greet him, for fear that something will go wrong."
The prefect looked bitter as he spoke.
"The thief broke into the Yamen in such a grand manner and snatched away the auspiciousness in full view of the officials and others. The officials and others were helpless."
"It's strange to say that the thief is not very strong, but he seems to have some secret technique. He claps his hands gently, and everyone present will lose control of their bodies and be forced to stand still."
If you clap your hands, others will have to stand still? Bai Yu was surprised. He thought of his own roll call. You have to know other people's names before you can call them. This clap will force everyone in the audience to stand still... It's simply better than him. It doesn’t make sense to name names!
Obviously, this is the power of some kind of rules that Zheng Tong said. There really is such a powerful person in the world. His ranking of fifth in the world may be a bit high...
The official of the Ministry of Etiquette's eyes almost popped out of his head and he was dumbfounded. He thought about it carefully, if he encountered such a person snatching the auspicious golden tortoise, he would be helpless even if he was present.
He couldn't help but look at King Ming next to him. He heard that King Ming had great supernatural powers, but he didn't know if King Ming could defeat such a person.
"I know where the thief is."
Bai Yu's thoughts turned, his eyes were cool and investigative, and the whole world suddenly changed color.
Seeing the different colors exuding from the officials of Qingzhou Prefecture, this was not what he wanted to see. He blinked and saw a red light band, spreading into the Qingzhou Prefecture Yamen, then turning back and leaving. He must be the thief who snatched the auspicious golden tortoise... .
"Come with me."
Bai Yu turned the Huohuang horse to follow the direction in which the red light belt left.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly changed their expressions and quickly said with a smile, "The thief has great magical powers. I'm afraid that if I go to the official position, I won't be able to help him. Instead, he will become a burden to the Ming Dynasty... Otherwise, I will wait here for the Ming Dynasty King's triumphant return."
He is not stupid. Thieves are difficult to deal with and there is a risk of death if he goes there.
Moreover, he was just following King Ming to welcome auspiciousness on behalf of the Ministry of Rites, he was not here to investigate and solve the case...
It would be fine if Xiangrui was taken back, but if he was not taken back, he would still have to be held accountable... Wouldn't it be better to just do nothing, wait and see what happens, and stay out of it?
"..." Bai Yu understood what he was thinking. As long as he did nothing, nothing would go wrong.
"I'm going to go with Prince Ming."
"I'll go too, my subordinates."......
The prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture and dozens of officials, large and small, were willing to go, but they had to go if they didn't want to.
They lost their auspiciousness, the knife was already hanging on their necks, and the heads of the whole family were with them. Even if they knew it was very dangerous, they still had to fight to the death.
Moreover, they still expected Bai Yu to intercede for them, but they did not dare to shrink in front of Bai Yu.
"Forget it, no one should come with me, I'll go alone."
Bai Yu thought about it carefully. When the Auspicious Golden Turtle was robbed, these officials were helpless. If they encounter the thief again, these officials may not be able to help him. He went alone.
It’s also convenient.
He dared to follow him, and he had considered it.
The thief's energy level is not high, it's just red, which is level 5. It's just that the thief has mastered the rule of "clap your hands to make others stay put" that makes him look a bit powerful. He's not very afraid...
