Bai Nao'er's eyes were opened. He never imagined that the place where they were imprisoned could be so magnificent. How did he know that the yamen in Dingxiang City used to be the residence of the Turkic Khan, and the room where he was imprisoned was none other than Jieli The Khan's bedroom was of course magnificent. His son Bai Gensheng was also here. The father and son squatted in the middle of the room, not daring to sit on the chairs or the bed for fear of getting dirty and causing greater trouble.
After staying up until night, Bai Gensheng couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Dad, I'm hungry."
Bai Gensheng is fifteen years old this year. It is the time when he is growing tall. He will feel hungry even if he does not eat. He has not eaten at noon or evening today and he is already starving. When he is at home, he runs a wine shop and a kitchen. There was always something to eat, and Bai Gensheng had never been hungry before. This was the first time he could remember being hungry, and he felt doubly uncomfortable.
"Dad is hungry too." Bai Nao'er sighed and whispered: "Tighten your belt tighter first and endure it for a while. I don't believe that the official can watch us starve to death." After a pause, Bai Naoer Nao'er said again as if to comfort himself: "I don't think that official looks like such a cruel person. Don't worry, someone will definitely come to deliver the food later."
Bai Gensheng listened to his father's words and tightened his belt tighter, pursed his lips and endured it. But being hungry was something he couldn't bear. He thought to himself, and the more he thought about it, the hungrier he became. After a while, Bai Gensheng became hungry again. I couldn't help but say, "Dad, I can't bear it anymore, I'm hungry!"
Bai Nao'er became irritated when he heard this and cursed: "I know I'm hungry when I'm hungry. I think I've spoiled you. Do you know that when your father was your age, he escaped from Lingzhou and stayed there for three days in a row? You can't even eat a piece of cornmeal, you just got hungry and you keep yelling, what are you talking about!"
Bai Gensheng couldn't hear this, but he didn't dare to talk back to his father, so he could only mutter in a low voice. Bai Nao'er had sharp ears and could clearly hear what his son was mumbling. He was so angry that he slapped him and said: "What sister? Do you still expect her to deliver food? I want to blind you!"
Bai Gensheng said with a bitter face: "Dad, even if I think about it, it won't work, right?"
"Nothing!" Bai Nao'er cursed, and was about to say something more when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. He quickly closed his mouth and lowered his head in a submissive manner. Although Bai Gensheng didn't understand, he also learned the lesson and followed suit. His father put on the same pose.
The two people outside the door were Wang Hu's men. They were the ones who caught the Bai family here during the day. They had just received instructions from Li Mu to put on a play.
There was a clatter of chains, and Bai Nao'er heard that the two of them were unlocking the door. He couldn't help but feel moved and pricked up his ears.
I heard one of them say while opening the lock: "I don't know where these guys came from. They got so crazy that they actually said that the wife of our county magistrate is his daughter. Look at the old man's appearance, how can he give birth to such a beautiful daughter?" ?!Why don’t I believe it!”
Another person answered: "Who says it's not the case? This is great. It has angered our county magistrate. Doesn't he know that our county magistrate and the county magistrate are so good that they are brothers? I see, this father and son are going to be unlucky. , who is our county magistrate? He is the son of General Li Ji, Duke of Cao. He wants to deal with someone, who dares to say anything?"
"Oh, lard has blinded my heart. Poor, poor!"
Bai Naoer broke out in a cold sweat after listening to these brief words. Only now did he know who he was who arrested him today. He was actually the son of General Li Ji! The shadow of a famous tree is like that of Li Ji. Who knows about the figures in the Tang Dynasty? His great achievements, from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, are too numerous to mention. Even a child with a yellow mouth has heard of his reputation, how can Bai Nao'er not know about it! Then But how old is the Duke? The highest official Bai Nao'er has ever seen in his life is the county magistrate. Compared with the county magistrate, he can't even count how many grades the Duke has fallen behind. This time, he can't even count. If you offend the prince's son, how can you survive?
At the same time, he was also very puzzled by what kind of bad luck this kid Li Mu had, to be able to hook up with such a brilliant person. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At this time, the door lock was opened, and the two detectives were one behind the other. The one at the back was carrying a basket. Inside the basket were steamed buns and dried vegetable soup, the same as those eaten on the construction site. The one behind him put the basket on the ground.
He said: "Eat the food I gave you. Once you are full, enjoy this meal. Tomorrow you will..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another person: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can say anything?"
The person who spoke first listened and seemed to have just reacted. He raised his hand and gave himself a mouthful, saying: "I didn't say anything. You eat quickly. We will come back to deliver it to you tomorrow morning!"
Bai Gensheng didn't understand what it meant, so he stretched out his hand to grab the steamed bun, and now all he could see was the steamed bun. But Bai Naoer heard it, and was so frightened that his heart trembled. He had just finished saying that the county magistrate had dealt with all the people.
People dare to take care of it, and now they are talking about tomorrow, how come these words sound like this is the last meal! Bai Nao'er felt scared, seeing that the visitor was about to leave after delivering the meal, he couldn't care about anything else.
He jumped forward, hugged their thighs, and cried: "You two military masters, please don't leave. I have something to say, I have something to say!"
"You can't tell us, we are not in charge, old man, you should save some strength, tomorrow... oh, that's all, it's just a pity for your son!"
The ambiguous sentence further confirmed what Bai Nao'er was thinking. Bai Nao'er wiped his face and refused to let go, saying: "The two military masters are very kind and compassionate. Please help me spread the word. I am ignorant and offended.
County magistrate, it really shouldn’t be the case. And my daughter... In fact, it’s just a misunderstanding at home. I know I’m wrong. I shouldn’t make a fuss and make people laugh. Please send me a message... That son-in-law,
Just say that the little old man was wrong, and I asked my son-in-law to forgive me for the sake of my daughter, just this time!"
Bai Nao'er was a good person, so he was worried that he would not be able to convey what he said, so he quickly took out a few copper coins from his pocket and forced them into the hands of the two detectives. The two looked at each other, and one of them said: "Okay,
Seeing that you are so old, it is not easy for you, so I will help you pass on a message. Once the message is delivered, even if it is right for you, whether it is useful depends on your own destiny!"
Bai Naoer hurriedly said: "Now that the words are here, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. Thank you, Master Jun. Thank you, Master Jun!"
"Easy!" The two waved their hands, walked out, locked the door, and came to the front lobby to meet Li Mu.
Li Siwen was also here. There was such an interesting thing, how could he be absent? After listening to the two of them learning the words, Li Siwen was so happy that he couldn't help but pointed at Li Mu and said: "You are so bad, you can't even
My father-in-law is making fun of me! You see, I scare that old man!"
"It's a helpless move, and I can't help it." Li Mu said repeatedly, and he had to use whatever method he had to deal with whoever he wanted. For people like Bai Nao'er, if you don't scare him, he won't know how to advance or retreat.
After procrastinating for a while, Li Mu followed the two detectives to the door of the room where Bai and his son were detained. As soon as the door opened, Bai Nao'er rushed towards him. Before Li Mu could speak, he had already started shouting.
