Neither Tang County Magistrate nor Yang County Magistrate told Master Old Tang about Bai Shan and Man Bao, but they told Master Old Tang that Wei Zhi had been investigating the King of Yizhou since the flood in Yizhou.
The Old Tang Dynasty and the Emperor also knew that Wei Zhi had always felt that the King of Yizhou was responsible for the breach of the Jianwei Weir, and the punishment given to him by the court was too light, so he kept a close eye on the Yizhou King, the Emperor and the Old Tang Emperor.
I'm not surprised either.
But the emperor was surprised that he had contacted Bai Qi's descendants so early?
So how many things did he find?
Wei Zhi didn't hide anything, he told everything about the time when he accidentally found out about the Bai family, and his contact with the Bai family in the past four years.
To put it bluntly, Wei Zhi never thought that King Yizhou wanted to rebel. He just wanted to find out the evidence that King Yizhou killed Bai Qi twelve years ago, and to get the evidence that King Yizhou corrupted Mo Jianwei twelve years ago.
.
Unlike the Yang and Tang families, Wei Zhi came from a poor family. He did not think that the King of Yizhou could only fine and confiscate some fiefdoms for embezzling so much money. The reason why he acquiesced in the emperor's punishment method four years ago was because he could not obtain the main evidence.
It cannot be determined that the death of the flood in Yizhou was caused by the rise of the King of Yizhou. Otherwise, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Jiannan Road. He did not believe that the King of Yizhou could not be killed by knocking him down.
He really didn't expect that the King of Yizhou would do more than he thought, which was why he acquiesced in forming an alliance with the Tang family.
The emperor waited for him to finish his narration and then asked, "What is the name of Bai Qi's son?"
"My name is Bai Shan."
The emperor suddenly realized that after all, he had just remembered those three interesting children, "The child named Zhou Man..."
Wei Zhi was stunned for a moment. He had not mentioned Zhou Man's name just now, but he still paused and said: "She is Zhou Yin's orphan, but it is said that the child was adopted by her uncle since she was a child. She does not know her life experience.
, and I only found out about it recently.”
The emperor remembered what she had said about King Yizhou in the palace, and he couldn't help but sigh. Whether they were natural enemies or not, she had already hated King Yizhou before he knew the truth.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I understand. Wei Qing should do something convenient after going to Yizhou City. It is best to send them to Beijing."
If the emperor had something to point out, he said: "The Queen Mother Qianqiu is not as healthy as before. If there is no evidence, I can't make the Queen Mother too worried."
There is no need for evidence, but a lead to reveal the case, right?
Wei Zhi thought that Bai Qi and Zhou Yin both had only one child alive, and remained silent.
The emperor frowned and asked, "Why should Wei Qing not respond?"
"Your Majesty, they are just two teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old. They should not be involved in such a big event." Wei Zhi already vaguely regretted mentioning them just now.
The emperor smiled and said: "Why, are you still afraid that I will eat them? Don't worry, I will naturally protect their safety after they enter the capital."
Wei Zhi pursed his lips, that was before they made the introduction, right?
After they have made the introduction, will the emperor remember them? Even if he does, by then they will be involved in such a big thing, who knows how many people will want their lives, and how much the emperor is willing to pay to protect them?
But Wei Zhi couldn't express these thoughts out loud. After weighing them, he could only bow his head and agree.
Because his official mission was to patrol, and his secret mission was to investigate the evidence of King Yizhou's rebellion. However, someone had already set out before him, so he was at best a cover for others.
Therefore, Wei Zhi was not in a hurry at all. After slowly packing up his things, he led a group of his men out of the capital. He planned to inspect one place after another, and Yizhou City was in the middle.
To enter Yizhou, you can first take a turn to visit Mianzhou, and then you can meet Mrs. Liu and the two children.
Bai Shan and Man Bao knew nothing about this, and they are still standing in the spring breeze endorsing it with pain and joy.
Bai Shan and Man Bao memorized most of the book over and over again. After being punished for a month, they finally memorized all the articles. After passing the inspection, Mr. Zhuang finally allowed them to enter the study room for class.
As for Bai Erlang, he still had three lessons to go, but since it was his first time offending, Mr. Zhuang graciously allowed him to follow him in.
Bai Shan and Man Bao were both shocked. They gathered together and whispered: "If I had known this was the case, we should have asked the husband to check it when we just memorized it a few days ago."
"It's just that we delayed it for four days just to wait for you."
"If you have the guts, you can delay me until I memorize all the textbooks. Don't you still want to leave me for my husband to check me today? Huh, I'm not moved at all."
"That's because you memorized it too slowly. We explained all the explanations to you in just four short articles, but you couldn't memorize them."
Bai Erlang: "You think everyone is you. You will be familiar with the article after reading it twice. I..."
"Ahem," Mr. Zhuang finally found out the papers he had written during this period. When he turned around and saw their unscrupulous chatter, he couldn't help coughing twice. He glanced at the three of them in warning.
Said: "Since you have memorized it, let's make a set of papers today and then go to class tomorrow."
Each person has a tailor-made paper, which is full of topics about the dictation, interpretation and composition of the texts they have memorized during this period.
Bai Erlang felt guilty, but Bai Shan and Man Bao picked it up and glanced at the questions as usual, then put down the test paper, thinking about the writing and polishing the ink.
The papers of the three of them are all different, even if they are opened and shown to each other, there is no use.
Of course, it is still useful. For example, Bai Shan and Man Bao can occasionally give guidance to Bai Erlang.
However, Bai Erlang had just offended them, so they decided to ignore his look for help and looked down at their papers intently.
Bai Erlang bit his pen and sighed, frowning and thinking. He could still come up with most of it silently, that is, the explanation...especially the writing...
Bai Shan and Man Bao only gave him a rough explanation, but he didn't remember much, let alone write it down.
Bai Shan and Man Bao also found it difficult. After all, they had read and analyzed the book themselves, and their husband had never talked about it, so it was still very difficult to write it.
The three of them sat in the study room all afternoon while working on a set of papers. It wasn't until a servant came to tell them that they were going to have dinner that Mr. Zhuang knocked on the table and said, "Man Bao, please bring up all the papers."
Man Bao put down the pen he was biting and took a moment to give his juniors some time before going to collect the papers.
Mr. Zhuang held the paper in his hand, waved his fan and asked them, "Have you learned enough lessons this time?"
The three of them nodded in succession.
Mr. Zhuang: "Will you dare to do it again in the future?"
The three of them shook their heads.
Mr. Zhuang looked at them seriously for a while, then waved and said: "In that case, you can go out. By the way, we have guests at home today. Don't be too lively, but be cautious and polite, you know?"
The three people who were about to jump up and cheer restrained themselves and nodded repeatedly.
