Chapter 5 Yu Ren (Redited)
005 Border Town Female Overlord
Being robbed by someone was called "good life", there was someone who wished he could be robbed and wished he could become a slave? What kind of world is that?
A few passersby were stunned when they heard this. They were finally certain why no one had stepped forward to speak out and help out with their swords...The feelings of these passersby who were in the town had long been assimilated by the barbarians, and their views were completely overturned!
Even the Northern Town Army, which was like a divine weapon and heavenly general in their hearts, was mixed with the black sheep to abuse the people and probe the common people. This world had truly changed.
In the carriage, Bai Fuling carefully examined the contract of Lady Huang and said with satisfaction,
" 8701!"
***********
At a restaurant near Tie Ning's alleyway, Yang Heng, dressed as a wealthy young master, had finished looking at the bustling scene just now. He was frowning as he sized up the ebony horse carriage that was gradually disappearing. He sneered,
" Miss Bai? How impressive!"
Scholar Li's wife, Huang Shi, was the daughter of Huang Qing and she was the only child of a poor teacher at Gui Hua town. Because her mother was seriously ill and her family was poor, her father gave her to Li Xiucai in the neighbouring village as his wife under the help of a private matchmaker. She exchanged the betrothal money to treat her wife. How could she know that Huang Shi's mother was still unable to be cured? She died the next year of her daughter's marriage. Old man Huang was extremely sad and left unattended. After half a year, he also died.
This Scholar Li was quite normal at first. Later on, he was seduced by local rascals and became addicted to gambling. He lost his family property two years ago and had no choice but to take Lady Huang to escape to Beiguan City. When he arrived here, he still didn't change his nature. He took all the money that Huang shi had earned from working hard for others to make embroidery and began to abuse Huang shi.
At first, Huang shi felt that she had already accepted her fate by marrying a chicken. However, a few days ago, she suddenly discovered that she was pregnant. It was initially considered a happy event, but Huang shi unexpectedly found out that Li Xiucai, who was insane, had secretly agreed with the people in the casino that if the son was born, he would sell him off to repay the gambling debts.
Huang shi only felt that the sky was clear, and her determination to protect the flesh and blood in her abdomen had defeated everything. As a weak woman, she naturally couldn't do anything. After some consideration, she asked the owner of the embroidery shop to find Bai Pingzi, the manager of the Bai family. That was why she had the scene of "robbing a man's wife" on the street.
Yang Heng had heard the news from his subordinates. He slowly turned the jade thumb ring in his hand and asked his guards,
"It seems that Miss Bai really has a kind heart. What's going on between her and the Zhen Bei Army?"
Another subordinate went up to the front and said,
"According to the rumours, Lu Ying, the General of Zhen Bei(Northern Army), is a brother of hers. His relationship is extremely close. In the past two years, the salaries of the Northern Army and the first-aid supplies that the Imperial Court failed to pay for them were all paid by Miss Bai. In fact, she even arranged support for many disabled soldiers and orphans and widows in their families. Her prestige in the Zhen Bei Army is not lower than Lu Ying's. It's said that even Lu Ying is no exception in the army."
When Yang Heng heard that the salary of the army and the amount of money needed to be replenished by the Bai Fuling, he paused his hand that was playing with the jade thumb ring. A hint of coldness and irritation flashed across his eyes.
" Who else is there in the Bai family other than this Miss Bai? Do the Bai family have other supporters or are they close to anyone?"
The scout replied immediately,
"The Bai family moved to Beiguan City ten years ago. No one knows their background. The Bai family still has Elder, Bai Chou, and Madam Mu. The two of them only have Bai Fuling as their only daughter. Both of them say that these two couples are extremely fond of their daughter and the family matters are all up to Miss Bai."
The scout paused for a moment before continuing,
" The Bai family runs the largest Tong Cai yahang in the northwest. Every year, there are countless transactions with the surrounding countries and barbarians. They both are rich but enemies, but only the people in the border area know their reputation. The main steward and helper have their contract in Miss Bai's hands. No one can know the exact scale of Tong Cai yahang but I didn't find out which side has a close relationship with the Bai family "
Time was limited after all.
Before he arrived, Yang Heng had only been busy collecting information about General Lu Ying. He hadn't paid any attention to anything else at all. Now, it wasn't easy for his subordinates to go out and listen.
Beiguan City was very far away from Capital. It was unknown what exactly was going on in Beiguan. All they knew was that since Lu Ying was appointed as the general of Zhen Bei, he had led his troops to continuously defeat the barbarians. The Northern Region had been safe for almost two years.
Meanwhile, the royal officials in Capital, who had calmed down, began to think about such words as "high praise" and "heavy support ". The Emperor decided to send people to Beiguan City in private to investigate and see if Lu Ying was already in the mood of a minister. It was better to take precautions early.
As a result of the game between various factions, Yang Heng, the Sixth Prince, who had never received much attention, became the secret envoy for this operation. Yang Heng knew that this trip was ungrateful and dangerous, but he couldn't help but come.
Right now, the First Royal Brother was fighting with the Second Royal Brother to the death. If he exposed his strength too early, he would immediately become the target of the two factions, or be roped in or killed. Of course, the latter was not good. The former was only forced to use the capital and connections he had managed to save to make a wedding dress for others, so he chose to keep a low profile and pretend to accept this mission helplessly.
From Yang Heng's point of view, the crisis might not be a turning point. Right now, the two powers in the capital were fighting each other, and it was also a good thing to temporarily avoid them. He wasn't interested in choosing either side. His father had been strong over the past few years. If there was no accident, he would at least sit on the throne for three to five years. Now, he was showing a look of hostility towards the throne. There wouldn't be an acceptable end.
'Unfortunately, the big brother and the second brother didn't seem to understand this, or they were too confident in their faction's power. They felt that the crown prince's position would definitely be decided between the two of them, so they are focused on how to defeat the other party.'
Now, Yang Heng was only concerned about how he could complete this mission and make his father have a satisfactory result. This was very important, so on the way here, he had been thinking about what kind of result his father wanted to see the most.
He had envisioned a few possibilities, but the premise was to understand Lu Ying's attitude. However, he had never expected that before he had come into contact with Lu Ying, he had first seen such a beautiful but arrogant woman in Beiguan City. Her relationship with Lu Ying was not simple, and her background and actions were more interesting...
Yang Heng waved his hand and let a few of his subordinates retreat except Lie Dang. When the two of them were left in the room, Yang Heng asked,
"This Bai family sounds like a tyrant in Beiguan City"
"His heart is doomed!"
Lie Dang slowly spat out the words there was hidden bloodlust.
