Li Baolu pondered for a moment and said: "Even we all think that Master has money and military books, let alone others, so even if Master doesn't show up this time, they will try to find out. And hiding."

  Gu Jingyun nodded, "There are only two ways to solve this matter. One is to catch all these people with ulterior motives and sentence them with the law."

"It's unrealistic. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has been legislation. People in the rivers and lakes are forbidden to use martial arts. Therefore, privately-made weapons are prohibited, and civilians are not encouraged to practice martial arts. But for thousands of years, there have been only a lot of people in the rivers and lakes. There are many people who make sharp weapons privately. If you target so many martial arts people, you will definitely arouse the rebellious hearts of the whole Jianghu, and things will only get worse." Li Baolu paused and said, "I don't agree with the people of Jianghu. Privately resolve the grievances, but I think that the folks have this style of martial arts, and it is better to have this narrow sense of inheritance, on the basis that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, I do not agree with targeting them on such a large scale."

"Then there is only the last one left," Gu Jingyun poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said, "Let Master throw away the hot potato in his hand, and I will shock these people in the arena for him, so that everyone in the world will know what they are trying to do. The things that belong to him are no longer in the hands of the master and his old man, and his old man has my Qin family guarding him and the imperial court, so no one can touch him."

  Then the Lingtianmen should be handed over to the imperial court, Li Baolu hesitated.

Her master is only her apprentice. In the future, most of the Lingtianmen will be passed on to her. It is good that Lingtianmen will be handed over to her. If the ancestors want to blame her, they will blame her. ...

  Li Baolu felt that Master would probably not be willing to do so. He was someone who only stole from corrupt officials. How much trust could such a person have in the imperial court?

   Gu Jingyun said lightly: "It's a big deal, you might as well go to the letter and ask Master's meaning."

  Li Baolu lowered her eyes and nodded, "Alright."

   This time, the letter from the two of them was expedited, and Gu Jingyun directly handed it over to Li An's forces in Kaifeng Mansion, and they handed it over on their behalf.

   I don't know how they sent the letter, but this letter arrived in Beijing earlier than the one sent two days ago.

When Bai Yitang received the letter, he was being hugged by Niuniu, crying and shouting to Feifei, while Qin Wenyin stood by and stared at him coldly. Seeing that Hong Tao brought a letter to him, he opened the letter and made a good voice. Persuade Niuniu, "Uncle is going to read the letter. I don't have time, I don't have time."

  He Zipei brought out a plate of snacks from the kitchen and waved to Niuniu: "Niuniu, come to my mother, my mother made a lot of delicious snacks."

   Niuniu hesitated for a while, seeing that Uncle Bai was holding a letter as if he was really empty, so she reluctantly ran to her mother's arms.

   Bai Yitang breathed a sigh of relief, and said innocently to Qin Wenyin who was staring at him: "I didn't take her to fly, she was the one who haunted me."

   Qin Wenyin snorted coldly, "If you hadn't brought her around to coax her two days ago, would she have pestered you?"

   A drop of cold sweat dripped on Bai Yitang's forehead, how did he know that Niu Niu would like this?

   And her memory is also better. It's been a few days, she still remembers, doesn't it mean that the child is forgetful?

   Qin Wenyin glanced at the letter in Bai Yitang's hand, turned around and followed Niuniu into the room. He Zipei was holding Niuniu to feed her snacks, and when she saw the aunt came in, she smiled and said, "You blame Hero Bai again? In fact, it's not his fault. Niuniu is a child entanglement, even if we are often entangled by her, we can't do anything about it. When I came out, Daxia Bai was so tolerant of children. I saw him teach Baolu Kung Fu before, and he beat and scolded him when he didn't like it. I was really afraid that he would throw Niuniu aside."

   Qin Wenyin smiled and said, "Baolu is his apprentice, and a strict teacher produces a high-level apprentice, so he is naturally stricter, but Niuniu is a friend's child, and he doesn't practice martial arts with him, so he naturally loves him more."

  He Zipei smiled slightly, "You know him well."

   Qin Wenyin's heart skipped a beat, she felt that what her sister-in-law said had nothing to do with it, but He Zipei had already lowered her head and continued to feed her daughter.

   Niuniu looked at her mother and her aunt with her big round, innocent eyes.

   Qin Wenyin nodded her nose and said, "Eat your food."

   Bai Yitang and the others left and opened the letter to read. The smile on his face gradually faded away, Jun Yi's face was awe-inspiring, and it showed a seven-point sharpness. This surprised Qin Xinfang, who had just returned home from the ya, and her back could not help feeling chills.

  Bai Yitang looked up at Qin Xinfang, folded the letter and said with a smile, "Master Qin, Bai is looking for you on something."

   Qin Xinfang said with a light smile: "Brother Bai is polite, just say something straight."

   "Oh, I would like to meet the present His Majesty."

  Qin Xinfang: ...What are you doing when you see the emperor as a fighter in the rivers and lakes?

   But thinking of Bai Yitang's identity, Qin Xinfang still nodded.

The rivers and lakes are separate from the court, and the two sides usually only meet in the following three aspects: first, the court will collect their taxes; second, the people of the rivers and lakes are killed in private fights, involving innocent people, the court will order the arrest; third, Foreign humiliation of the country, people in the rivers and lakes ran to kill enemy generals and high officials for the country and the people.

   But Bai Yitang is an exception, or Lingtianmen is an exception.

   As the grandson of two cabinets and the former chief assistant, Qin Xinfang knows Lingtianmen better than ordinary officials and even the royal family.

   This is a sect that specializes in stealing corrupt officials and nobles. They are born with a relationship with the court, which is different from the general sect.

   Qin Xinfang agreed, but today is impossible, he has to ask the emperor, the fastest is tomorrow.

   Bai Yitang drove a carriage out by himself that night, and when he came back, he pulled two big suitcases, he said to Qin Xinfang: "Go to the palace tomorrow and bring these two big suitcases with you."

   Qin Xinfang opened it and saw that there were two boxes of booklets inside. He looked at Bai Yitang slightly.

  Bai Yitang nodded slightly to him, and then he picked up a booklet and opened it. Inside was an account book, and the handwriting seemed to be many years ago.

He was a little stunned. It recorded that Lingtianmen provided help to whom by spending a certain amount of money on a certain day in a certain year. The following is a detailed account. .

   Qin Xinfang knew at a glance that this was an account book for the relief of refugees in Beijing.

   He vaguely understood in his heart, put down the account book and bowed slightly to Bai Yitang.

   Bai Yitang turned around and left. He returned to his room, took out the letter from his arms and read it again, sneering in his heart: Do you want to force him to show up? Does he look like an idiot?

   He picked up the pen to write a letter to his apprentice, and it was time for the apprentice to see the power of Lingtianmen.

  Lingtianmen has only one disciple per generation, but this does not mean that there is only one person in Lingtianmen. If there is only one person, how could Lingtianmen have done so many things?

   The understanding of Lingtianmen by brothers and sisters only comes from Master, and they have not read the classics in the sect, nor have they touched on the fundamentals. It is time to let them know what Lingtianmen is like.

   Bai Yitang followed Qin Xinfang into the palace to meet the emperor on the second day.

The emperor was also very curious about Bai Yitang. It was true that Bai Yitang had done too many major cases. During the middle and late period of the late emperor, the emperor was especially dazed, the official management was muddy, and corrupt officials were rampant. Only the one recorded in the case file, Bai Yitang, committed twelve major crimes. , There are also those corrupt officials who were stolen but did not report to officials, just think about how many corrupt officials he stole, and how much money he stole.

The emperor    was curious about how he transported so much money out of the corrupt official's mansion without knowing it.

  Bai Yitang naturally couldn't tell him, he came here to say something else, "Your Majesty, this is the account book that Lingtianmen left in the capital, you can take a look."

   Director Su brought the chamberlain and opened the box, holding an account book for the emperor.

  The emperor turned around and said in silence for a while: "That is to say, all the things stolen by your faction are used to help the victims?"

"Although it's not all, it's almost the same," Bai Yitang said indifferently: "And after the self-imposed exile in Qiongzhou, Lingtianmen stopped committing crimes. There is only an empty shell left in Tianmen, and it is absolutely impossible for someone to take this money. If Your Majesty wants to see the account books, I can send people to the Shuzhong Jiangmen to find all the account books accumulated in the door. "

"No need," the emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the account book in front of him. He also participated in the case of the Yellow River burst four years ago. In the late summer and early autumn, when the rice in the fields was about to mature, the fourth prince was arrested by the fourth prince due to excessive rain. The embankment that embezzled the repairing silver of the Yellow River was only rehabilitated by local officials. The dam could not withstand the water pressure and collapsed overnight.

Because the embankment of the Yellow River was handed over to the fourth prince at that time, the fourth prince was pushed to the forefront as soon as the incident happened, and the officials were furious. The victims who were submerged by the flood in the lower reaches of the Yellow River were even more resentful. disaster victims.

   But there was very little disaster relief silver and food from the treasury. At that time, he was trapped in the disaster area and almost thought he was going to die there.

  The victims had no food or drink, but could only eat the grass. There were no medicinal materials, and the plague could happen at any time. Even if there was no incitement at that time, as long as the time went on, the food and medicinal materials for the relief could not keep up with them.

   The disaster victim turned against it. The chance that he could escape when he was in the disaster area at that time was very small.

But the victims did not rebel, because some people organized local gentry and merchants to donate a large amount of silver, grain and medicinal materials. Although they could not treat all the victims, it greatly eased the conflict between the victims and the court, so no one rebelled. .

  He divided all the disaster victims to various prefectures and counties through diversion, and ordered the local officials to arrange the disaster victims properly. When he came back to his senses and went to look for the people who had donated a lot of money at that time, he could not find anyone.

  Only the squires and businessmen who followed the trend and donated materials were listed, and the great benevolent person who donated 290,000 taels and 180,000 stones seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

   Now that he sees these familiar account books, what else does he not understand?

   It was the person in front of him who did those things at that time, or the Lingtianmen behind him.

Bai Yitang said: "Lingtianmen only steals corrupt officials and tyrannical gentry who are rich and ruthless. Their money comes from the common people. We just save them for a period of time and return them to the common people. Eighteen years ago, the Datong Zhang Boying case was the last case I did. The wealth that Lingtianmen has used in the past 18 years is all left over before it is used up. Now it has been completely used up, and there are only first-level account books in the treasury of Lingtianmen, not even a penny or a grain of rice."

The    emperor was amazed, looking at the awe-inspiring chivalrous man in front of him, he couldn't help but believe his words in his heart.

   "Lingtianmen has always been unrestrained, why is Bai Daxia doing this today?" The emperor asked gently.

  Bai Yitang was silent for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, there can only be one disciple of Lingtianmen who can inherit the mantle.

  The emperor stayed for a while, then remembered that Bai Yitang's apprentice was Gu Jingyun's wife and Qin Xinfang's nephew's daughter-in-law.

   So in the future, Gu Jingyun's daughter-in-law will steal his family's property?

  The emperor felt a little queasy in his heart, and also had a strange sense of pleasure, he looked at Qin Xinfang.

   Qin Xinfang did not speak with a sullen face. He refused to assume the possibility that his nephew and daughter-in-law would be a thief.
