005 The Queen of Border Town

Being snatched by someone is called "good luck", and I also want to be snatched and want to sell myself as a slave? What kind of world is it?!

Several foreigners were stunned when they heard this. They finally determined why the vicious incident of robbing people in the street just happened, and no one came forward to speak up and help... They felt that these foreign people on the border had long been assimilated by the barbarians, and their three views were completely subverted!

Even the Zhenbei Army, which is like a divine weapon and a general in my mind, is mixed with black sheep that helps the evil and is a fish and meat, and the world has really changed.

On the carriage, Bai Fuling carefully looked at Huang's wife's contract and said with satisfaction: "Eight thousand seven hundred and one!"

On a restaurant near the entrance of Tieding Hutong, Yang Heng, dressed as a rich young master, had completely watched the lively event just now. He was frowning and looking at the ebony carriage gradually moving away, and sneered: "Miss Bai Family? He is so majestic!"

…◇…◇…◇…………………

The wife of scholar Li Duanfang, Huang, whose boudoir is named Huang Qin, is the only daughter of Luo Diwensheng in Guihua Town nearby. Because her mother was seriously ill and poor, her father betrothed her to Li Xiucai from the neighboring village as his wife under the help of private media, and exchanged a betrothal gift for his wife to treat her. However, Huang's mother still failed to cure her. She went there the second year of her daughter's marriage. Old man Huang was heartbroken and had no one to take care of her. After half a year, she died together.

Li Xiucai was normal at first, but later she was tempted by a gangster from his fellow countrymen and became addicted to gambling. She lost all her family property two years ago and had to take Huang to escape from debts to Beiguan City. She still remained unchanged here, and she used all the money Huang had earned for embroidery work for others to bet on, and started beating Huang at every turn. Originally, Huang thought that marrying a chicken was already accepting her fate, but a few days ago suddenly found out that she was pregnant, which was a happy event, but Huang accidentally learned that the crazy Li Xiucai had actually made a secret agreement with the people in the gambling house that if the son was born, she would sell it to another place to offset the gambling debt.

Huang only felt that the sky was thunderous, and her determination to protect her flesh and blood in her belly defeated everything. She, a weak woman, naturally had no way to do anything. After weighing the pros and cons, she asked the owner of the embroidery workshop to find Bai Pingzi, the manager of the Bai family, and thus the scene of "taking off a wife" just now on the street.

After hearing the news that his subordinates were ordered to inquire, Yang Heng slowly turned the jade ring in his hand and said to his aide: "It seems that this Miss Bai is really kind of Bodhisattva-hearted. What's going on with her and Zhenbei Army?"

Another spy stepped forward and said, "There is rumors that the general of Zhenbei Grand Prix Lu Ying is a sibling who is very close to her brother and sister. The relationship is very close. Miss Bai has not paid all the military pay and all the military silver coins that the imperial court has not paid in the past two years. Miss Bai paid and paid for it. She even placed many disabled soldiers and orphans and widows in their family for the army. Her prestige in Zhenbei Army is not lower than that of Lu Ying. It is said that the army obeyed her will, and even Lu Ying was no exception."

When Yang Heng heard that the military pay and the military silver was paid by Bai Fuling, he paused his hand playing with the jade ring slightly, and a hint of coldness and irritability flashed in his eyes: "Who else is the Bai family besides this Miss Bai? Does the Bai family have other backers or who is closely related to?"

The spy said: "The Bai family moved to Beiguan City ten years ago, and no one knew their previous background. The Bai family still had Mr. Bai Chou and his wife Mu. There were only Bai Fuling, one of them. They both said that the couple spoiled their daughters very much, and Miss Bai had the final say in their family affairs."

The spy said this and paused and continued: "The Bai family operates the largest Tongcaiya Store in the northwest. It has countless transactions with neighboring countries and barbarians every year. It is rich enough to rival a country, but only people in the border areas know their reputation. The main managers and servants under him have their own sales contracts in the hands of Miss Bai. The specific scale of Tongcaiya Store is unknown to outsiders. However, they have never heard of which force the Bai family has a close relationship with."

Time is limited, and before coming, Yang Heng was only concerned about collecting information about Lu Ying, the general of the North Town, and never paid attention to anything else. Now, he temporarily asked his subordinates to go out to inquire, and it is not easy to get these news.

Beiguan City is far from the capital. The specific situation is unknown at all. The capital city only knows that since Lu Ying was named General Zhenbei, he has brought his subordinates to defeat the barbarians. The northern border has been safe for nearly two years. The senior royal officials in the capital who have recovered for a while have begun to think about words such as "the great achievements are shocking the master" and "held the troops and respect themselves". The emperor considered repeatedly and decided to send people to Beiguan City to investigate it privately, and to see if Lu Ying had already developed a disobedience, so he would take precautions early.

As a result of the game between various forces, Yang Heng, the sixth prince, who has never been valued, became the secret envoy of this operation. Yang Heng also knew that this trip was thankless and dangerous, but he had to come.

Now the eldest brother is fighting with the second brother to the death. If he reveals his strength too early, he may immediately become the target of the two factions, or be won over or strangled. Although the latter is not good, the former is just forced to consume the capital connections he had finally saved to make wedding clothes for others, so he chose to continue to keep a low profile and pretend to be helpless to accept this task.

In Yang Heng's opinion, the crisis may not necessarily be a turning point. Now the two forces in Beijing and China are fighting each other, so it is a good thing to avoid it for the time being. He is not interested in choosing either side to stand. His father has been in good spirits over the years. If nothing unexpected happens, he will sit firmly on the dragon throne for at least three to five years. Now he looks like he is eyeing the throne and will not have any good ending.

Unfortunately, neither the eldest brother nor the second brother seemed to understand this, or they were too confident in their own sect's power, and felt that the position of the crown prince would be decided among the two, so they were wholeheartedly thinking about how to defeat the other party.

Yang Heng is only concerned about how to complete this task, and to give his father a satisfactory result. This is very important, so on the way he came, he kept thinking about what kind of result was what his father wanted to see the most.

He had imagined several possibilities, but the premise was to understand Lu Ying's attitude. But he never expected that before he had contacted Lu Ying, he first saw such a beautiful but arrogant woman in Beiguan City. Her relationship with Lu Ying was never simple, and her background behavior was even more intriguing...

When he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to retreat, he waited for the only two of them to be left in the room, Yang Heng asked, "This Bai family sounds like a domineering Beiguan City..."

"The heart is punishable!" Lie Dang slowly spit out four words with blood. (To be continued)
