Chapter 366: The Case of Arrival at the Pawnshop (12)
Everyone felt that what Bai Min said was absolutely true.
Song Ningzong couldn't wait to ask Bai Min about his specific methods.
Bai Min said that he had not thought of the specific method yet.
Qin Shaobai suddenly interrupted and gave everyone a plan.
"First of all, let's find a person from this fake list who we can completely trust, and have a real show with him."
Seeing everyone looking at him with confused eyes, Qin Shaobai said again.
"What I mean is that we should treat this account book as authentic and reliable, and then conduct house searches based on the records in it. After the house searches, we will encourage people to submit letters to avenge the victims."
Everyone still expressed that they did not understand what Qin Shaobai meant.
Zhao Bai even said: "This crime of confiscating a house is not a trivial matter. If you make a mistake in one step, you will make a mistake in every step, and then you will really harm the virtuous ministers and loyal men, and be reviled by the people of the world."
"So, this matter must be resolved quickly."
Qin Shaobai told everyone his plan in detail.
This time, not only Song Ningzong nodded repeatedly, but even Bai Min also cast approving glances at Qin Shaobai.
Only Zhao Bai still had a deep frown on his face.
He was worried that such a risky move might backfire. Not only would he not be able to intimidate Empress Yang to produce the real account books, but she might also lose a loyal and good person, and it might even lead to the disunity of the people.
Song Ningzong did not think so much. What he wants to think about now is to quickly find the real account book, dig out all the moths, collect all the ill-gotten gains back to the treasury, and replenish the already poor and weak country.
Song Finance.
Since Song Ningzong agreed to this plan, Zhao Bai had nothing to say.
Qin Shaobai asked Zhao Bai if he really wanted to raid his home, if he had the most suitable candidate.
"Among these people, I think the one who can cooperate with us and cause the least harm is probably General Bi Zaiyu."
"Then we will go to General Bi to discuss. If he is willing, we will follow Shaobai's plan."
Song Ningzong said, and asked Feiyu to invite Bi to meet again.
Zhao Bai said that Bi Zaiyu would suffer the least loss because Bi Zaiyu was the only one in Bi Mansion in Lin'an City. Bi Zaiyu's three sons were all stationed in the border areas, and his daughter was also married to a younger brother of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty.
Bi Zaiyu was quickly invited over and was surprised to see Zhao Bai and others in the hall.
After Song Ningzong told Bi Zaiyu their plan, Bi Zaiyu agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I wanted to do my best for the Song Dynasty, so I rushed back to Lin'an from my hometown. Let me sit in jail for a few days, and we can clean up the cancer that harmed the Song Dynasty. I am extremely willing.
but……"
"Old general, if you have any requests, just say them."
"It's just that I hope that the emperor will not let this matter involve my three sons when issuing the imperial edict. All three of them are reckless men. I am afraid that they will not know what is going on and lead troops to Lin'an to argue with the emperor.
"
"Old General, don't worry. I know very well what kind of personalities the three young generals have. I will write three letters now to inform the three young generals about this and let them know that this is just a trick of ours."
Zhao Bai said and then gave instructions to Fei Yu.
"Feiyu, in an hour you will take the Imperial City Secretary to Bi Mansion to search the house. You must remember that after putting the old general in prison, you must treat the old general well and protect the old general's safety."
"Please, Your Majesty, don't worry, General. Feiyu will protect the old general even if he risks his life."
Zhao Bai held Bi Zaiyu's hand, his eyes red.
Bi Zaiyu saluted Song Ningzong and retreated calmly.
Walking in front of Qin Shaobai, Bi Zaiyu suddenly stopped.
He held Qin Shaobai's hand.
"Shaobai, I really hope you are the Shaobai I know."
Qin Shaobai's heart moved, and he was about to say something, but found that his throat was getting tighter and he couldn't say anything.
Bi Zaiyu patted Qin Shaobai on the shoulder.
"Go ahead and do it boldly. We old guys will support you no matter what."
An hour later, the quiet Lin'an Street was awakened by the sound of horse hooves.
The people along the street saw through their doors and windows dozens of imperial city inspectors riding horses towards the north of the city.
The people lamented and didn't know who was going to suffer, and silently closed the doors and windows.
Bi Mansion in the north of the city is already brightly lit.
Everyone from the Imperial City Department held torches and surrounded Bi Mansion.
Bi Zaiyu, who had just slept with his clothes on, was pushed out by everyone from the Imperial City Division.
The servants of Bi Mansion burst into tears, not even believing this sudden disaster.
"You guys should be polite to me. He is the prince personally given by the emperor. How dare you bastards bully him like this."
The loyal old housekeeper Bi Huan screamed loudly while struggling.
An imperial city inspector casually slapped Bi Huan in the face.
Bi Huan had never been so angry before. He was about to fight with force, but Bi Zaiyu stopped him with a soft drink.
"Be polite to the old general."
Feiyu ran over and saw Bi Zaiyu being tied up by Wuhua Da. He felt heartbroken and angrily scolded his men.
"Reporting to the command history, the entire mansion has been checked and there is no gold, silver or jewelry."
"What, you actually think that our master has taken bribes and violated the law? Let me tell you, our master is the most honest and upright person in the Song Dynasty, cleaner than every one of you."
Bi Huan shouted, his emotions became more and more agitated, and he even cursed loudly.
"You young men, if you let the three young masters know that you have abused me so much, they will definitely come back to peel off your skin and beat your muscles."
He wanted to curse again, but a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth, and no sound came out.
Feiyu didn't want to stay any longer in Bi Mansion and was about to gather his team and leave when he heard someone shouting at the door.
"Master Li, the prefect of Lin'an, has arrived."
Feiyu couldn't help but frown, and he quickly looked at Bi Zaiyu.
Bi Zaiyu also looked surprised, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
When Li Xiaolin comes now, he must have received the news that the Bi family was ransacked.
With Li Xiaolin's violent temper, he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
But if he gets involved, unexpected things may happen.
Why didn't I expect that Li Xiaolin existed?
Sure enough, before the two of them could recover, Li Xiaolin had already rushed in with big strides.
Several imperial city inspectors tried to stop him without knowing what was wrong, but were knocked away by Li Xiaolin's punch.
Li Xiaolin ran straight towards Bi Zaiyu who was kneeling on the ground, and without hesitation went to untie Bi Zaiyu's body.
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing? You can't do this. Fei Yu is also doing it under orders. You can't make it difficult for him."
Li Xiaolin was not willing to listen, and shouted angrily while helping Bi Zaiyu untie the rope.
"Don't talk about Feiyu, even if the Sixth Prince comes in person, I won't care. If anyone dares to bully you, I will never end it with him."
Bi Zaiyu held Li Xiaolin's hand and burst into tears.
"Xiao Lin, a friend in need is a friend indeed. With your words, it will be worth it even if I die immediately when we meet again."
"Bah, bah, bah. If you want to talk about being frustrated, as long as I, Li Xiaolin, are here, no one can let you die unjustly."
As he said this, Li Xiaolin helped Bi Zaiyu away and glared at Feiyu.
"I would also like to ask the commander, what serious crime did General Bi commit that made him have to go through the trouble of commanding Master Shi to come and raid Bi's house late at night?"
"Old General Li, Mr. Li, you are really making things difficult for Feiyu. You have to know that Feiyu and everyone in the Imperial City Division are just following orders. Who are you qualified to ask why?"
"Yes, Xiao Lin, don't make things difficult for Fei Yu. Fei Yu has taken great care of our Bi family. He didn't beat or kill anyone, and he didn't shed any blood, right?"
Bi Zaiyu looked at Li Xiaolin quietly and comforted him.
"You have to believe in the emperor and the court. He will never wrong his subjects and the people. Things will eventually come to light. Maybe, tomorrow, I can drink wine with you."
Bi Zaiyu said and patted Li Xiaolin on the shoulder very casually.
This shot almost brought out Li Xiaolin's tears.
"Senior brother, if you have been wronged, I will do my best to seek justice for you."
"General Li, your Majesty just asked us to invite General Bi to the palace for an interview. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Please be patient, General Li, and let us take General Bi to the palace for an audience."
"No one is allowed to take father away."
A clear shout,
Everyone looked up, and it was Bi Zaiyu's daughter, Princess Yan Bi Lingling, who came hurriedly.
