”The General Mansion is clean and white! Where did the evidence come from? ”
”Zheng naturally does not dare to speak nonsense, and has specially brought the evidence this time, uncle, please look at it.” As Bai Zheng said this, he took out the letter that Nianming had copied beforehand, and offered it to Bai Yizhang with both hands.
Looking at this letter, the unease in Bai Yizhang's heart grew more and more intense. He had a feeling that this was not a good thing and he didn't even dare to take it. He could only calm down and read the letter through ten lines. The more he read, the more shocked he was.
On top of it, Bai Yinan's handwriting read: ”Brother, I dare not disobey your wishes. Ran Nan Town is a flood, the people are suffering, two hundred thousand silver is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people.
It was clear that this was his handwriting.
Just the word ”good”.
Bai Yizhang held onto the letter, the texture of the silk felt light and soft, but now it felt like a thousand kilograms, pressing down on him until he couldn't breathe.
But it was enough to take him, and the life of the entire General Mansion.
Ordinary officials who embezzled money could at most be executed. However, he was a great general, a general who feared the Emperor even with military power. Wouldn't he... Bai Yizhang felt as if he had entered an ice cellar, the bottom of his feet cool to the top of his head.
Bai Zheng had taught Bai Yinan how to write since he was young. His handwriting was similar to Bai Yinan's in the first place, so it was easy to copy. As for Bai Yizhang's handwriting...
”It would be difficult for other officials to change their words. Finally, there are a few letters written by my uncle in my house. What do you think, Eldest Uncle? ”
”Wretched girl, you are courting death!” Killing intent surged in Bai Yizhang's eyes, she turned and picked up the sword on the shelf, neatly cut off the letter, and pointed the sword straight at Bai Zheng, flying straight for her face.
Bai Zheng's clear and cold eyes looked at Bai Yizhang, without any intention of backing down, and even when Bai Yizhang's sword blade struck, his lips were curled up, and his calm death god like appearance caused Bai Yizhang to look up, the sword blade swept past Bai Zheng's hair, and collided with Bai Zheng's steps, creating a clear sound, which finally landed beside her feet.
”Uncle is still quite clear, if Zheng's life is really lost here today, with seventy-three people from the General Mansion accompanying me in death, it would be worth it.”
”You're not afraid of death!” Bai Yizhang's entire being drooped down, the imposing aura he exuded just now had disappeared without a trace.
”Zheng believes that Eldest Uncle's achievements in the battlefield are outstanding and he is not an impulsive person. Since Zheng dares to pass this letter to you today, Big Uncle should know of my family, so even if it was each person, there wouldn't be any difficulty. If Zheng does not let Zhuling return within two hours to report her arrival, I believe that Big Uncle would not want to see a great calamity befall our General Mansion. ”
Bai Yizhang weakly fell back onto the chair and sat down. He lowered his head and rubbed the space between his brows, ”What do you want?”
Bai Zheng smiled slightly, ”I want father to return safely.”
”Your father is very important to His Majesty. He has ordered the Supreme Court to investigate this matter strictly, so there is nothing I can do about it. However, as you have said, the outside world knows that your father is my younger brother, so the effect of my words is not very great. ”
