Soon, Linghu Feng came back and brought back a half-dead man.
"Senior, I asked clearly. There is no real imperial edict on Bai Yan. They just made it up. It really scared me to death. I really thought I had offended someone I couldn't afford to offend."
Linghu Feng said fearfully for a while.
"Are his words credible?" Bai Yan didn't believe it.
Can random fabrication be so accurate? Isn't this too evil? He had to doubt Linghu Feng's ability.
"He doesn't dare. His home is in Yanzhou City. I have sent people back to arrest all his family members. If he dares to lie to me, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life." Linghu Feng snorted coldly.
The man kneeling on the ground kowtowed and explained: "What I said is true. That day I congratulated the Qin government and saw with my own eyes that His Majesty issued an imperial edict and gave Master Bai a title. Later, I wanted to do business with Master Bai, and I kept looking for it.
When I didn't get the chance, I came up with this idea and spread rumors that Young Master Bai had an imperial edict. In this way, everyone thought that Young Master Bai and I had a good relationship. Many people came to win over me, and the business went smoothly."
"Then are you cooperating with the Bai family? Are you going to buy medicinal herbs and sell them to Baicaotang?" Bai Yan asked.
The man shook his head: "No. Mr. Bai is now at the height of his power, and there are too many people who want to do business with him. It is impossible for someone like me who has never interacted with him before. Besides, my words can fool other people, but I can't
I can't get enough of the Bai family.
This trip south is also a collaboration between Boss Wang and Baicaotang. He saw that I have a good relationship with the Bai family, so he took me with him."
Bai Yan nodded, somewhat believing this person's words.
He rarely cares about business matters now. However, his subordinates often report, and he also knows that Baicaotang's largest partner is indeed named Wang.
He continued to ask: "Then Boss Wang doesn't doubt you? Just ask Master Bai and I will know that you are a liar."
"Senior, you may not know that Boss Wang took us to see Young Master Bai just now, but we were directly rejected. Not to mention that Boss Wang can't see Young Master Bai now, even if he did, he wouldn't ask about such a trivial matter.
.What's more, Lin Xiao and Bai Yan have a good relationship, and they both believe what I say and deliberately win over me." The man replied.
Bai Yan asked some more questions, and the man answered them openly, confirming that he was a liar, someone who made money by building momentum.
Bai Yan then asked Linghu Feng to take him down and ignore him.
Soon, Linghu Feng came back again and gave Bai Yan jewelry to express his gratitude.
"Senior, although it is a rumor that there is an imperial edict on Bai Yan, I think that this rumor will affect us and should be put to rest. I want to keep those people under guard until they arrive at the place and then release them." Linghu Feng suggested.
road.
"Don't talk to me about such trivial matters, I'm too lazy to listen." Bai Yan said coldly.
Linghu Feng sighed for a while. There was no need to say this kind of thing. He just wanted to bring the relationship between the two people closer, so he said a few more words.
"Then, senior, take a rest first, and junior will not disturb you."
Bai Yan nodded and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He felt that Linghu Feng was right and stopped Linghu Feng.
Since they are afraid that rumors will spread and affect them, why not let rumors spread? Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
"Senior, what are your orders?"
"Send people secretly to spread this rumor." Bai Yan said solemnly.
"What? Senior, isn't this building momentum for Bai Yan? This is not good for us."
Linghu Feng's pupils were shaking, and he looked at Bai Yan dumbfounded.
"Building momentum? Rumors are just rumors after all. When too many people believe it, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If the magnetism does not go smoothly, we can also report it to the court and use the help of the court to get rid of Bai Yan. Using imperial edicts to defraud, even if it is suppressed
Beihou will also be implicated. This is the escape route we have arranged for ourselves," Bai Yan said.
Anyway, he really has a secret mission, and he is not spreading rumors. He is not afraid of making things worse.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Senior is indeed an expert."
Linghu Feng slapped his head and almost jumped up in surprise.
idiot!
Bai Yan cursed secretly in his heart and continued to fabricate: "The wider the news, the better. I know some powerful martial arts masters who are very dissatisfied with the royal family. If they knew that Bai Yan had a secret order, they might kill him.
Come on, we won’t need to take action when the time comes.”
"Okay, senior, I'll make arrangements right away and make sure everyone knows about it within a few days. But do you want to tell Master Chen and the others?" Linghu Feng asked.
"Why should you tell them?" Bai Yan asked.
Linghu Feng was stunned for a moment, then said Cancan: "We are all our own people."
"When you were beaten, did they regard you as one of their own? Just let them believe it, so that others will believe it," Bai Yan said.
"Okay, just listen to seniors."
Linghu Feng couldn't wait to leave.
That night, before nightfall, the news had spread throughout the ship.
After getting the news, many people came to visit one after another.
With Emperor Ming's secret decree, he is a close confidant of Emperor Ming, and his status is even more powerful than that of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Without exception, these people were all turned away.
No one was surprised. It would be normal if they didn't see it, but it would be strange if they did.
In the room, Qing Gong's face was as dark as water, as if he wanted to kill someone.
Mr. Yuan and others were solemn.
"Master Hou, someone is spreading rumors. Should we kill the person who spread the rumors directly?" Mr. Yuan suggested.
"No. Once you take action, it will only scare the enemy." Qing Gong refused.
"But if it spreads like this, big things will happen. They use such despicable methods just to use other people's hands to deal with you and the young master." Cheng was very worried.
"If you want to use His Majesty's help to get rid of me, you would be looking down on me, Qing Gong. After all, I often see people who come to the palace and often see Your Majesty. What I'm worried about now is whether they have other purposes for doing this."
Qing Gong said worriedly.
He knew that Bai Yan had a secret mission, so he was not afraid of spreading rumors.
Now he is a little confused about what the people who spread the rumors are thinking.
Did they know it and leak it on purpose, or just to make them guilty of deceiving the emperor?
"Master Marquis, maybe they have other plans. You also know that some warriors are on the wanted list of the imperial court. In addition, many warriors also hate the imperial court, not to mention overthrowing the imperial court. But if you want to get rid of them
They are still willing to leave those who leave the imperial court, and those who work for the imperial court." Mr. Yuan said.
He swallowed the word "running dog" hard.
In the past, people like Bai Yan who harbored secret intentions would have been Emperor Ming's lackeys, one of the people they hated the most.
"That's it. If that's the case, I know what to do." Qing Gong smiled, very happily.
If he hadn't brought more martial arts masters, wouldn't it be possible that Emperor Ming still couldn't find them? Those martial arts masters raised by the imperial court would be happy to do something that could kill wanted criminals.
Since someone wants to muddy the water, he is willing to play along until the end.
