wedge
On the third day of the eighth month of the second year of the Huangyou reign, Kaifeng was established.
The oil-paper lanterns swayed in the wind and rain, their flickering light casting an inconspicuous glow on the entrance of the official post station. Through the sound of the rain, an inconspicuous blue sedan chair turned the corner and stopped at the entrance of the post station.
The person who emerged from the sedan chair was dressed in a blue robe, with a cold expression, and went straight to knock on the door.
Before long, the official opened the door from the inside, looking impatient. Upon seeing the person who had entered, he hurriedly put on a smiling face and bowed deeply: "Sir!"
Where is Lord Bai, the Imperial Textile Commissioner of Suzhou?
"It's in the back room. I'll lead the way."
Seeing that the official had no servants with him, the officials hurriedly held up umbrellas and lanterns and led him to the back room.
"This is it! Would you like me to brew you a pot of good tea?"
"No need. I will call you if I need anything. You don't need to come over unless I give the order."
After the attendants left, he raised his hand to knock on the door.
"My lord! Please come in quickly, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" A man in his forties with a slightly round figure opened the door. Seeing that it was a man in a blue robe, he hurriedly ushered him in. "I delivered a letter to your residence these past two days. Did you see it, my lord?"
"I see it!" the man in the green robe said impatiently, "...Who let you into the capital!"
When Bai Baozhen, the textile commissioner of Gusu, saw his cold expression, he was stunned: "This humble servant believes that this matter is of great importance and should be discussed with you, sir."
"Xiang Shang!" he sneered. "Bao Zhen, what can I say to you? You only feel satisfied when you see me die under that tiger-head guillotine!"
"I wouldn't dare!" Bai Baozhen's knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling with a hint of tears. "Why do you say such things, sir? Even if I had the greatest courage in the world, I wouldn't dare to think like that!"
Seeing him like this, the man in the green robe softened his tone, reached out to support him, and sighed, "I know you're not that bad. You're not like them. They're all cowards and incompetents who only know how to hide when trouble comes."
"Your Excellency is wise!" Bai Baozhen dared not rise. "But now that Bao Zheng has begun to suspect me, I am terrified, so I have come to the capital to ask for Your Excellency's instructions."
"Did you bring the account books?"
"No, this is a very important matter, how could I dare to carry it with me?"
"You did the right thing."
The man in the green robe nodded approvingly, casually tapping his index finger twice on the dark lacquered table. A cool breeze swept past him, and Bai Baozhen felt a chill on his back. Looking down in surprise, he saw a sharp sword piercing through his chest, blood still dripping from its tip.
"I had no choice. You should go now," the man in the green robe said calmly. "I will take care of your family. They will not be mistreated."
Bai Baozhen opened his mouth with difficulty, as if to say something, but the sword was suddenly pulled out, blood gushed out, and before he could catch his breath, he died.
"grown ups!"
The one wielding the sword was none other than the burly man w
