Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang thought for a while, "Okay, Jiajun, just follow your mother's orders, and let the Kaifeng mansion not act rashly, and let the imperial guards of the palace never disclose this matter to the outside world."

"Yes, my lord."

"Xiaopeng, if someone comes looking for you, immediately notify the lonely king."

"Yes, my lord."

After waiting for two days, there was no news. Defang couldn't eat well and sleep uneasy, and sat in the main hall all day, frowning. Concubine Di persuaded, "My lord, Baili will be fine, you can go and have a rest."

Defang shook her head, "Ma'am, it's been two days, and there is no news at all."

"They probably just want to avoid the limelight and watch what's going on in the Palace. These gamblers can't stand it for long."

"Ma'am, although Xiaopeng is Baili's godson, how much money can he have? Will these people look for him?"

"My lord, Baili is the chief executive of the palace and someone close to you. They also know that they can't tie Baili for too long, otherwise something serious will happen. These gamblers are only doing it for money, and they won't hurt people's lives unless they have to. , The concubine guessed that they should let Xiaopeng get as much money as possible, and then let him go to another county for a hundred miles."

"As long as it can be released for a hundred miles, they can do as much as they want, but there is no news at all." De Fang stood up, "No, the lonely king should let Kaifeng Mansion issue a wanted notice."

"My lord, wait a little longer"

"I can't wait any longer." Defang walked to the door, and Xiaopeng suddenly ran into the main hall, "My lord! My lord!"

"what happened?"

"Letter! Letter!" Xiaopeng held a piece of paper

Defang opened it and looked, "Who gave it to you?"

"As soon as the young one came out of the empty field, he was dragged into the alley in a sack. He threw a letter into the bag and tied the bag. The man ran away without saying a word. The young one yelled. It took a long time to be released."

"My lord, what did the letter say?"

"In the name of Baili, they said that they had something to go out of the city, and asked Xiaopeng to ask him for leave. They also said that they needed silver urgently, so they asked Xiaopeng to prepare 1 taels immediately. After noon, they took the silver to Xishuimen for two Beside the Bianhe stele ten miles away, don't tell anyone else." Defang clutched the letter, "Three idiots, this letter can't even fool a child."

"My lord, it's easy to deal with when you have a clear location, but the area is full of small roads, which can lead to all roads in the northwest. It's better to let people guard the roads first, and wait for Xiaopeng to pay the money and return it to Baili, and then arrest people later. .”

"No, there are too many forks in the road. If there is an omission, it will be cheaper for these villains! The lonely king will arrest them all! Jia Jun! Lead the army and follow the lonely king to Xishuimen immediately!"

"My lord, this is too dangerous. If you lead troops to arrest people, they will definitely take Baili as a hostage."

"The lonely king will not let Baili have trouble!" Defang led out Xiangrui, and Jiajun led the troops out of Xishuimen.
