Chapter 226 Easily Gain the Upper hand
Chapter 227 Easily Gain the Upper hand
After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the living room in the front yard. At the same time, Bai Jingyi was thinking with disgust in his heart: "Although this courtyard looks magnificent, it's too far away!"

"Squeak~~"

Bai Jingyi pushed the door open and walked in, and all he saw was a group of ministers sitting straight on chairs, without anyone talking among them.

After all, they belonged to two different factions, and it was already giving themselves face if they didn't pinch them directly.

After seeing Bai Jingyi, Hou Junji stood up first and said to Bai Jingyi, "I've seen General Bai!"

As for Wang Chen, Wang Gui, and Du He, the son of Duke Cai, they bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "I've seen the King of Beiliang!"

Du He originally belonged to Li Chengqian, while Wang Gui belonged to Wei Wang Li Tai.

The two sides looked at each other, as if they had reached a tie in the invisible battle they met for the first time.

Bai Jingyi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Sit!"

After the words fell, Bai Jingyi sat directly on the front seat, looked at the people below and asked indifferently: "I don't know what is the important thing for you to come here at this time!?"

Normally, it's time for dinner, but Bai Jingyi doesn't believe that these people are here to drink with him.

After hearing Bai Jingyi's question, the forces on both sides were silent for a while, as if they wanted to let the other party speak first, so as to gain an advantage. ,
Bai Jingyi almost didn't laugh out loud, he could only say softly with a smile on his face: "Could it be that you all came to see me for a drink!?"

Immediately, Bai Jingyi leaned lightly on the chair and said, "Today the carp is exceptionally fresh, and the fish soup is even more delicious, why don't you all take a step and taste it together!?"

When they heard this, all the people present turned pale with fright.

Wouldn't it kill them to drink carp soup? ?It means that a ruthless person like Bai Jingyi can do such a thing.

And the reason why they came to visit Bai Jingyi at this time was because they were sure that Li Er should be eating dinner at this time, as long as his whereabouts were concealed, the Holy Majesty would not find him.

But there are no absolutes, if the Holy One finds out that they secretly visited Bai Jingyi during dinner and drank carp soup in Baifu at the same time, it would be their own death! ?
Hou Junji hurriedly cupped his hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "I want to report to General Bai, the general has heard that rumors are spreading in Chang'an City, and those pedantic people believe it even more!"

"The general still has some connections in Chang'an City, so Quanzi can help the general solve this problem for the general!"

Those present were not stupid, they could all understand what Hou Junji meant.

It's just that his son and Bai Jingyi are drawn into the relationship, as long as they can get on the line, it is equivalent to being drawn into the camp of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Du He considered it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and it was also very suitable for the current scene.

Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "It's just a bunch of jumping clowns, it's already been dealt with by this general! General Laohou has to worry about it!"

After all, if you want to accept the benefits they sent you, you still need to be polite.

But to them, Bai Jingyi's words meant that it was useless to dislike this condition.

Du He was also thinking, after all, gift giving is not the icing on the cake, it is best to give charcoal in a timely manner.

While he was thinking, Wang Chen saw that Wang Gui's brows were tightly furrowed, so he smiled faintly, stood up and bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "Your official knows that when General Bai takes over Liangzhou, it must be There is a shortage of food!"

"A month ago, the lower officials reported this matter to the family. Presumably after General Bai arrived in Liangzhou, members of my royal family have sent the three thousand shi grains to General Bai's residence!"

When Hou Junji and Du He heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and at the same time, their minds went blank.

Wang Gui didn't know the news at first, but after hearing it now, he was even more overjoyed, with a smug smile on his face as well.

Bai Jingyi cupped his hands at Wang Chen and said, "It's indeed thanks to the food from the Wang family! Otherwise, the people in Liangzhou might riot because of hunger!"

Wang Chen said very proudly: "It's not enough to raise one's hand. If General Bai is still short of food, my Wang family will definitely help!"

At this moment, Hou Junji and Du He's complexions became a little pale, and they thought to themselves: "Don't they even cover up!? Directly speak out to win them over!"

However, Wang Chen looked at Hou Junji and Du He with disdain, and thought: "A martial artist, a young man who has not yet reached the crown, is also fighting with an old man!?"

"This old man has already figured out this Bai Jingyi's temperament with other aristocratic families. Besides, this white mansion was given by me personally. The maidservants in this white mansion all have the blood of the aristocratic family flowing in their bodies!"

Bai Jingyi said very bluntly: "Winter is here now! Liangzhou is indeed short of food! And after the food is gone, there will be no food to cultivate next spring!"

"However, the Holy Majesty only rewarded Liangzhou to this general, but never distributed a grain of grain! Recently, the Japanese general planned to sell this White Mansion for some money to buy grain!"

Wang Chen immediately spoke up and said, "For the country and the people, General Bai did not hesitate to pay for it himself. Such a feat is really admirable!"

"However, although my Wang family in Taiyuan doesn't have much food, I can still support General Bai. I am willing to act as a lobbyist for General Bai and walk around among the other great families!"

Now, Hou Junji and Du He were a little desperate, because Wang Chen didn't directly say how much food the Wang family would support for Bai Jingyi, and they would also bring in other aristocratic families!
This is simply not something His Royal Highness can contend with.

After all, compared with the royal family, the background of the aristocratic family is not too much, let alone several aristocratic families united together.

Hou Junji sighed secretly. Although he was a high-ranking general, he had no real role at all. After all, his official position was not as high as that of Bai Jingyi, and he didn't have many soldiers in his hands.
Du He was thinking in his heart: "When the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, he had already appointed the crown prince, in order to prevent the change of Xuanwumen from happening again!"

"So no matter what, the position of the crown prince will not change. It depends on whether General Bai can make the right choice."

Bai Jingyi even turned his head to look at Du He and the others, thinking: "People from this family are going to give me food, why don't these two people show any sign at all, do they still want to be white wolves with empty hands!?"

"Even if you want white wolves empty handed, you should set them up yourself!"

Immediately, Bai Jingyi smiled faintly and said: "If it is possible to do so, then this grain will be considered as borrowed by this general, and will be used until late autumn next year."

"General Bai is for the country and the people, and he understands the righteousness so well. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, we should do our part for the Tang Dynasty! We will do our best to raise food for General Bai!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Du He was even more anxious, he stood up and said to Bai Jingyi, "."
