Bai Song sighed inwardly, thinking that when he found Bai An, he would discipline him well.
In the past, I didn't take educating my children seriously, but now I see that my son is becoming more and more careless. If he continues to develop like this, he will become the number one playboy in the Tang Dynasty sooner or later. He cannot be allowed to become a cheater.
"Does the girl know where Bai An lives?"
The girl shook her head: "Brother An never told me where he lives. The only time we meet is in an inn."
"Which inn?"
"Go straight two streets to Yuanlai Inn."
Bai Song nodded and left from the flower building. When he arrived at the original inn, he asked the boss again, but the boss said that the young master had not been here for a month.
I met a little beggar at the door of the restaurant and said he knew where Bai An lived.
Bai Song spent a tael of silver asking for directions, and when he arrived at a courtyard, he found that the building was deserted.
I don’t know if Bai An really lives here or if he was deceived by the little beggar.
There is a lot of news about Bai An in Hangzhou City, but all of it has no beginning and no end. In the end, it is impossible to know where Bai An lives.
That kid seemed to have been guarding against being tracked from the beginning. He left traces wherever he went, but he was never accurately tracked. He was as nimble as a loach.
In the process of running around, Bai Song gradually lost his patience.
The prefect became nervous when he saw Master Bai's face: "Master Bai, don't worry, I will mobilize everyone to search the whole city."
Bai Song thought of something. His son could actually dispatch experts to protect his mother. Then there must be experts around him to give guidance. Maybe he has been exposed at this moment. Bai An didn't want to be caught, so he might have hidden it.
Woolen cloth?
At this time, Jiumei brought news. Some people spread the news that Emperor Li Yuan was ordered to die by Emperor Li Shimin.
Bai Song was shocked when he heard the news.
Can this news be spread casually?
However, the news spread at an alarming speed in Hangzhou. Before Bai Song could understand the origin of the news, the literati in Hangzhou were already in a panic.
At the same time, officials from the prefect came to report that countless literati had attacked the Yamen and that the Yamen had been occupied.
The officials did not have any news from the prefect and did not dare to take action casually. They needed the prefect to take charge of the overall situation.
The prefect had been an official for more than ten years and had never encountered such a situation. He quickly reported it to Bai Song and returned to the Yamen with his men.
Bai Song stopped on the road, widened his eyes and asked, "Who spread the news?"
"The news came out in the morning. At that time, you were tracking down the young master and didn't attract any attention at all. And the people who spread the news don't know yet, but the news just appeared half a day ago. It's not difficult to trace the source. You will see
It won’t be…”
Bai Song knew what Jiumei meant, and she was worried that Bai An would spread the word.
Bai Song's brows knitted together, seeing that this handwriting was indeed very similar to Bai An's.
As a child, some things can be passed off as a joke, but some things cannot be laughed off.
If Bai An causes such a big disaster, he, as a father, must be prepared to resist anything from now on.
Thinking of this, Bai Song felt a little regretful. He had completely failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. He always thought that everything he did was to make his life more stable in the future. Unexpectedly, he neglected the simplest things.
"We must find Bai An this time. I hope this child can still make amends."
Bai Song secretly made up his mind and ordered Jiumei to trace the source of the news.
Afterwards, Bai Song returned to Bieyuan and told Wang Xiaohua about the matter. Wang Xiaohua also wanted to use his influence among the people, hoping to find Bai An as quickly as possible.
The riot in the prefect's Yamen continued until night, and the Yamen dispatched garrison troops to suppress it.
This riot was just the beginning, because the news had just come out, and the literati did not think of any remedial measures except anger. They besieged the prefect's Yamen just to vent their grievances.
At this time, Hangzhou's literati community's rejection of the Tang Dynasty reached an unprecedented level.
Tonight, the magistrate didn't even sleep. He stayed in Bai Song's yard and ordered his men to block the news while listening to Bai Song's command.
This matter is not trivial. It has only spread within the city of Hangzhou. If it is not suppressed as soon as possible, if it spreads to further places, it will be out of control.
"Sir, please go back and rest."
Seeing that the night was already deep, Tian Ruoyun persuaded the prefect with good words.
After all, the prefect is getting older, so he can no longer bear to stay up late like this.
The magistrate has no intention of sleeping, he is just here guarding him. Even if there is nothing he can do, he can at least let Master Bai see his hard work. When the matter reaches the court, Master Bai will also say a few good words in front of the emperor.
Bai Song stayed up all night tonight, locking himself in the room and no one knew what he was doing.
Until the next morning, Bai Song opened the door and shouted: "Wang Xiaohua."
Wang Xiaohua ran over: "Brother Bai, I have notified several ladies in Yangzhou to check, but I haven't received any news yet."
That's not what Bai Song wanted to say, so he took out a stack of manuscripts.
Wang Xiaohua's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with this. When he wrote about the Three Kingdoms in the past, he used to write manuscripts like this.
"Brother Bai, this is..."
"From today on, you will stay in Hangzhou and give lectures."
"What book is this?"
"Biography of Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties."
"Sui and Tang Dynasties... Listening to this name, could it be..." Wang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, it tells the story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties."
Wang Xiaohua's eyes widened: "Brother, this...isn't this a discussion among the people about the emperor? Who dares to talk about this?"
"You dare, what are you afraid of when I'm here? There are constant rumors in Hangzhou, so the lectures will continue. Extraordinary times use extraordinary means. As long as you can finish the lecture well, the emperor will know that instead of counting, he will reward you."
Wang Xiaohua was hesitant, so she took the manuscript and looked at it briefly, but she didn't read it all.
He didn't know how this book was compared to the Three Kingdoms, but since it was Brother Bai who said it, he would definitely do it, even if he knew there would be risks, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
The person who spread the news has not yet been identified, but starting from the next day, in the largest restaurant in Hangzhou, the world-famous Wang Xiaohua reopened the book.
As soon as the news came out, it swept the whole city instantly. Not only the ladies in Hangzhou went crazy, but also many literati were attracted.
After all, Wang Xiaohua has not lectured in public for two years. The title of the biography of heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties that she is talking about today is quite controversial.
A discerning person would know at a glance that this book would cause trouble for people, but Wang Xiaohua dared to talk about it in public. Although he was an actor, he respected him as a man. Naturally, he wanted to hear who the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were, and how they compared to the Three Kingdoms.
?
The restaurant was overcrowded, and a young master and two servants sat in the corner indifferently.
"Your Highness, is Wang Xiaohua, who is talking about heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, an enemy or a friend?"
