Chapter 137 Cruel and ruthless
Bai Zhao secretly hated his bad luck.
He was originally on the second to last ox cart.
When they were about to leave the city gate, the Prince of Yan yelled again. He was worried, so he let Ren Bing drive the ox cart to the back.
He heard from his daughter that she wanted to trade Jiang Lan for a good price.
Their start-up capital for going to Wujiyuan depended on Jiang Lan. After all, the Prince of Yan was still valuable to the King of Yan.
Even if Prince Yan doesn't give it, the other princes should be happy to give it.
These days they are not just fleeing famine, his daughter has already analyzed all the twists and turns involved.
The current situation is a sign of impending chaos.
The emperor was incompetent and licentious, and the princes under him were ready to make trouble.
Of course, anyone who can ascend to the throne is not a fool.
In the future games, it will depend on who has better skills.
As long as Wujiyuan develops in a low-key manner, it will emerge as a dark horse and get to share the fruits of its labor.
If Jiang Lan wasn't their future money bag, he wouldn't have put himself in danger.
The atmosphere here was relatively peaceful, but it was a bit depressing over at Bai Jingzhi's place.
When Old Mrs. Bai learned that Bai Zhao did not come out, she collapsed in the carriage without any strength left.
Bai Jing had no choice but to ask Wei Liu to speed up and get away from Huaicheng.
The group ran for about ten miles, and Wei Liu found a relatively safe place to rest.
"Go quickly and ask them what happened to your father? Why is there no one to help?" When Old Mrs. Bai heard them stop to rest, she finally came to her senses.
Bai Jingzhi also had doubts about this matter.
She just sent a message to her father, but received no response.
She became really worried when Bai Zhao didn't reply to the message.
"Sister Yue'e, go call the person next to Wei Li over."
Zhou Yue'e is now inseparable from Bai Jingzhi, and the Zhou family has not shown any reaction so far.
Bai Jingzhi asked her to do things very quickly.
Zhou Yue'e called people over, and Wei Li followed.
Wei Li still had a big beard and looked like a man in his thirties.
Bai Jingzhi was speechless. He admired his cousin for daring to vilify himself like this.
Judging from the appearance of Wei Duan and Wei Yao, Wei Li must be good-looking. Not only that, he must be extremely outstanding.
"What's wrong with my father?" Bai Jingzhi stopped worrying about his ugly appearance and started asking about the cause of the incident.
Her father has been in the business world for many years, and although his ability to seek profit and avoid harm is not extreme, he is still very resourceful.
Bai Zhao was detained in Huaicheng, and she always felt that something was wrong.
Her father's dress was completely different from when he was in Ping County.
How could the fat woman's servants recognize her so easily?
She wouldn't believe it even if I beat her to death.
When they came to the Bai family to smash things and cause trouble that day, they had more opportunities to interact with the mother and daughter.
How could she recognize her father?
There must be something fishy here.
Ren Bing glanced at Wei Li, who just nodded at him without stopping him.
"Girl, this is what happened."
Ren Bing described what happened outside the city again, and Bai Jingzhi frowned.
The man did not hide anything and told everything.
It was also not concealed that Jiang Lan caused trouble again before leaving the city, and Wei Li asked them brothers to protect the team.
Bai Jingzhi didn't say anything when he heard it, but he looked at Wei Li meaningfully.
Wei Li felt uncomfortable with her, so he simply kicked Ren Bing and said, "Why are you bringing this up? Tell me why Uncle Bai was arrested."
Bai Jingzhi no longer paid attention to him, and he hung his head again, feeling a little disappointed.
Bai Jingzhi saw his performance and found it quite funny.
Wei Li's behavior is exactly the same as Wei Duan's, both of them are a little bit arrogant.
If you pull off Wei Li's beard, you can tell at a glance that they are brothers.
Ren Bing didn't notice Wei Li's expression and quickly explained the whole story to prevent the girl in front of him from misunderstanding that they had ulterior motives.
Bai Jingzhi hesitated for a moment and said affirmatively: "It seems that the man is an old friend of my father, otherwise how could he recognize him so quickly."
Bai Zhao was ranked last at the time, and he never expected that he would be implicated.
The Prince of Yan's vehicle passed smoothly, and Bai Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were about to pass through, a gentleman who looked like a scribe came to the city gate.
The gentleman held Bai Zhao's shoulder and said, "Brother Minghui, how are you?"
Fortunately, Bai Zhao was smart and quickly cut off ties with them. "We just met these people. They don't know the past between our two families. Let them go."
"I see. My father knew that man?"
Bai Jingzhi was still skeptical. How could that person let someone leave so easily?
She has no memory of her original body, and her father's few friends are all bad friends. There is no one similar to the person described by Ren Bing.
"Who could that person be?" Bai Jingzhi's voice was loud, but she was frowning in thought and no one dared to disturb her.
Could it be him?
Bai Jingzhi's eyes lit up. It was the brother of that adulterous couple!
He is also Bai Zhao's classmate for many years.
Ren Bing had already gone down to feed the cows, leaving Wei Li staring blankly in the direction of Wei Liu, Wei Duan and Wei Yao.
Just then, Bai Zhao's video call came.
"If you want to go play with the kids, go ahead. You're already familiar with the place, so why are you still standing here?"
Bai Jingzhi winked at Zhou Yue'e, signaling her to follow.
Taking the opportunity to send the person away, Bai Jingzhi quickly connected the video.
"Dad, where are you, are you okay?"
"Is the man you met your childhood sweetheart and classmate?"
Bai Zhao had eloped, but now the whole family has to bear the consequences.
The more Bai Jingzhi thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
"Those people are ruthless, so you better be careful. If there is any danger, enter the space immediately, don't worry."
There was no reply from Bai Zhao, so Bai Jingzhi could only give these instructions.
Since no one was talking on the other end, Bai Jingzhi simply sat back in the carriage and pretended to rest.
In fact, she has to keep an eye on the situation on her father's side.
Bai Zhao sat up straight after seeing the video connection was completed. "Why are you here? Did you come here just to catch me?"
The teacup lid rotated back and forth under the slender fingers.
"Brother Minghui is still so childish! Still so conceited!"
The man who looked like a scholar suddenly stood up, and he lost all his composure as a scholar.
The quarrel between the two stunned the people around them, who were completely confused as to why they were quarreling in such an elegant place.
Especially since the person opposite him looked like a scholar, while the one with him was a rough guy.
"It's not that I'm childish, nor that I'm conceited, but I'm used to seeing how ruthless you siblings can be."
Bai Zhao replied neither softly nor harshly.
"You know everything that happened back then?"
The man who looked like a scholar became more stable in his emotions.
"Dad, get some information quickly." Bai Jingzhi reminded at the right time, "What happened back then?"
Bai Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if you know? How could what happened back then escape your hand? Are you the official in Huaicheng now?"
The scribe remained silent.
"Thanks to your sister, I am still a scholar."
The scholar's face suddenly turned red.
