Chapter four hundred and seventy third strange robbery
Bai Ling only stayed in Ruyi County for two days before leaving.
However, Bai Ling was not idle either. He specially found a big business owner who had a strong hand against Bai Xiaoshan, and used my name to vacate the wealthy gentry's home and property as a warning to other squires.
Naturally, Bai Ling would not keep these things if he was not short of money. Instead, he would distribute cash, food, cloth, etc. to the homes of people in need.
For a time, I came to have a great reputation, but all the wealthy people who had done bad things were afraid and on guard. The people burned incense and prayed to Buddha to pray that I came to do good and eliminate evil.
"Girl, we'll be home one day later. Should we stay at a house in the county for one night, or should we hurry up and go to a private home to stay overnight?" the coachman asked.
"Let's go to the county seat." Bai Ling said.
After staying in the county town for one night, you have to rush home afterwards, but staying in your own house is always more comfortable than staying overnight.
After receiving the order, the coachman flicked his whip to urge the horse to go faster so that the master could rest early.
"Hey!" However, the carriage had just gone a certain distance when the driver hurriedly pulled the reins.
Bai Ling's ears were very good, so he heard the sound of weapons clashing and the frightened cries of women and children without the coachman replying.
"It's a robber." Haitang raised the car curtain and replied after seeing the situation outside.
"Go and help." Bai Ling naturally saw the fierce fighting, so he ordered.
There was no need for Haitang to take action. Other guards came to help. After half a stick of incense, the robber was hacked to death and captured alive.
"Master, among the group of people targeted by the robbers, there is only one young man who was seriously injured and unconscious, and a baby. Do you want to take them with you?" The guard asked for instructions outside the carriage.
"Save a carriage and let someone stop the boy's bleeding and bandage it first, then bring the baby to me." Bai Ling frowned.
The guard responded and left. Haitang asked in a low voice: "Master, do you think it's weird?"
"Baifu County is the richest county around, and the security has always been good. I have never heard of bandits, but there is no guarantee that bandits will pass by. I will ask someone to check it later, and we must find out the truth." Bai Fu County
Spiritual way.
Haitang also noticed that it was unusual, so she nodded in agreement and said nothing more.
Soon the guards came back and handed the baby to Haitang. It looked like it was not even one year old. There were tears on its chubby little face. It was obvious that it had fallen asleep due to exhaustion from crying.
Haitang had never reported a child, and her body was so stiff that she didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Bai Ling took the child into his arms and patted it gently.
The original owner had taken care of his younger brothers and sisters, so he knew how to coax children.
After the group entered the county town, the guards escorted the bandits who were still alive and handed them over to the county government.
The bodies of those innocent people who died in vain, as well as those of bandits, were left where they were. It was necessary for people from the county government to go to the site to survey the scene and then relocate them.
In order to prevent passers-by from taking away the property or damaging the scene, Bai Ling also left someone to guard the scene of the crime and wait until people from the county government passed by before entering the city.
After resting, Bai Ling asked: "How is that boy?"
"I've asked a doctor to take a look. There are many stab wounds on my body, but there are no fatal injuries. I lost too much blood and fell into a coma. But my head was hit hard. I don't know when I will wake up and whether there will be any sequelae. Doctor's
It means that it is best not to move in a short period of time." Haitang replied sternly.
As for the baby, it was left to the servants in the mansion to take care of. Bai Ling did not have time to take care of it all the time, so this was the end of benevolence.
"I'll go over and take a look." Bai Ling said and stood up, very suspicious of the young man's injury.
But if the young man acted, the price would be too high, and Bai Ling couldn't tell for the moment.
The young man was placed in the guest room, and Bai Ling took a stick of incense to leave. After checking the young man's injuries, Bai Ling's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Judging from the injuries, no one would suspect fraud. After all, if such injuries are not treated in time, death will occur.
But every cut was avoided, and it was very weird.
"First let him stay in the mansion to recuperate. If he is able to move, he will be sent to the county government office and let the government office take care of the arrangements." Bai Ling glanced at the unconscious young man and ordered Haitang.
After only staying in the county seat for one night, Bai Ling and others returned to Nanshan Village.
Naturally, the little baby stayed in the county town and let the ladies and girls take care of it first. Later, he and the injured boy were sent to the county government office. They were a family.
After Bai Ling returned home, Mrs. Bai Liu showed concern for her, and then Bai Sanshu had a private chat with Bai Ling.
This time Bai Ling didn't hide anything, but he didn't tell the truth either. Whether it was from Zixiao City or Bai Xiaoshan, he said it with mixed feelings, which was more true.
"Dad, I have arranged some manpower for my little brother. There should be no problem in terms of safety. But I have some ideas that I need your help to complete. This is a letter from my little brother to my father. Dad, please read it." Bai Ling wrote Bai Xiaoshan alone to
Bai Sanshu handed him the letter.
"Okay, dad will take care of the arrangements. You have worked hard during this period, so go and rest early." After Bai Sanshu finished speaking, he was about to open his faith. Suddenly he remembered the date of the engagement and brought a few
He asked very nervously: "Daughter, something happened in Zixiao City, what should we do about the engagement?"
When it came to marriage, Bai Ling felt a rare girlish shyness and said, "Dad, the engagement is as agreed. Shangguan should be on his way."
"It's done. Dad will explain it in a moment and let everyone below get ready." Bai Sanshu said happily.
The children in the family all got married late. Although Bai Sanshu was willing to keep the children for a few more years, he felt worried if he kept them too big.
Now that Bai Ling is engaged, it's still a good marriage, and it's time to put an end to some unpleasant words outside.
Just thinking of Bai Wei, Bai Sanshu's face was filled with sadness again, but he couldn't say anything to Bai Ling for fear of making his second daughter unhappy.
Beijing.
Bai Xue was grounded for several months and finally regained her freedom.
Bai Wei's business is getting better and better, especially the Jinyu Pavilion opened with the support of the third prince. The business is booming. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge profit.
Except for Xiao Mu's shop, almost no one in the industry can do as well as Jinyu Pavilion's business. This is also due to Bai Wei's design and the third prince's source of goods.
"The emperor's birthday is coming soon. My master attaches great importance to this birthday gift. Do you have any good ideas? If my master is lucky, I will certainly benefit from you." After finding Bai Wei, Bai Xue stood in front of the bookcase and looked at it.
Bai Wei was drawing design drawings, feeling jealous.
They were both from peasant families. Bai Xue had been studying since she was a child and had never done farm work. But after all, she did not have the capital to cultivate playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she could only read and write.
But Bai Wei only had the opportunity to study when she was a teenager, and she actually had the capital to become a design master. How could Bai Xue be willing to do so?
"These paintings I painted are all vulgar things and cannot be considered elegant. You have found the wrong person." Bai Wei replied without thinking.
In fact, Bai Wei also understood that if she could design good objects and satisfy the emperor, her reputation would become bigger and she could earn more money.
But Bai Wei knew better that if she didn't seize this opportunity well, she might be in danger, so she didn't dare to gamble.
"Don't you want to become famous? Although you are somewhat famous in this industry, compared to Bai Ling's design, your reputation is far behind. Are you willing to do so?" Bai Xue asked. (To be continued)
