I Conquer the World For My Duke

The last four words were especially harsh on Bai Zheng, as each word fell onto Bai Shou's heart.

Bai Shou was surprised, his eyes turned a few times: "Third Miss, please wait." He then returned to his study.

Not long after, Bai Shou opened the door and invited them in, "Third Miss, please."

Bai Zheng nodded, signalling for Zhuling to stay outside the door, then walked into the study.

The structure of General Mansion's study was similar to that of the Bai Mansion, except that most of the books on the bookshelves were soldiers, and a map was hanging on the side of the wall.

When Bai Qiying was still alive, he often came to play, but now, things had changed.

Bai Zheng stopped her messy thoughts and walked straight to the desk. There was a middle aged man sitting in the middle of the chair. His thick black hair was tied up, and there was not a single strand of white hair to be seen.

"Zheng pays her respect to Big Uncle."

Bai Yizhang raised his eyes, an imposing manner without anger spreading out: "What are you doing here?"

Bai Zheng bowed her head. "Zheng wishes to request Eldest Uncle to save Father and plead for Your Majesty on behalf of Father."

"I know about your father, but I can't help him. Moreover, the Great Zhou treasury is now empty, your father has embezzled two hundred thousand gold at this critical juncture, he is courting death. " Bai Yizhang said indifferently, as if he was not talking about his own brother, but a criminal that he did not know.

Bai Zheng's body trembled slightly, as if she was crying, "Uncle, you should know that father has always been a dutiful and timid man, how could he dare to steal silver! It was just a letter, it couldn't be counted! "As long as uncle pleads with His Majesty, in consideration of General Mansion and Grandfather's face, Daddy, Daddy will be fine …"

Bai Yizhang frowned, he looked at Bai Shou impatiently, and the killing intent that came out from the battlefield caused Bai Shou to be extremely shocked. This Third Miss, he had said just now that he was not here to plead for mercy but was instead here to save General Mansion, and in the end, had actually lied to him.

"Uncle …" Zheng is begging Big Uncle … "You have to save father, it's just a letter, it can't be counted on …"

Bai Yizhang finally could no longer hold it in, and interrupted Bai Zheng's tearful and pleading voice: "That letter is an ironclad proof! Your father is courting death, and even if he were to sacrifice his entire General Mansion, he will not be able to save him.

Hearing that, Bai Shou immediately went forward to support Bai Zheng, and secretly used her power to pull her.

Bai Zheng looked like she was about to collapse. As she struggled out of Bai Shou's grasp, she tried to continue grabbing onto Bai Yizhang's sleeves. At the same time, she sobbed, "It's just a letter, anyone can write it!"

Bai Yizhang avoided Bai Zheng's hand and blurted out in annoyance: "Your father's handwriting is clearly on top of it, who are you going to make write it?"

Bai Zheng finally raised her head, allowing her to see clearly. At that moment, Bai Zheng's face did not have a single tear, her eyes were clear and bright, causing Bai Yizhang's hair to stand on end.

The corner of her lips lifted slightly, and her tone became as cold as water: "That letter was taken away by the officials of the justice courts after my father's study was dug out, and not even the people in my residence were able to see its contents. How can Uncle be so sure that it contains my father's handwriting? "Is Eldest Uncle so powerful that he could extend his hand into the justice courts? Or is it that letter? It was Eldest Uncle's doing in the first place!"

Bai Yizhang realized that he had leaked the information, but he was experienced enough in government affairs, the expression on his face did not change at all: "What nonsense are you spouting! If it wasn't for your father's handwriting, how could a mere letter have allowed a third-grade assistant minister to enter the Supreme Court? "

Bai Zheng stood up and brushed off the dust on her body. But, my father is still a descendant of the same grandfather as you, and everyone knows that my father is as timid as a mouse, and has always been afraid of your big brother.

"Are you threatening me?" Bai Yizhang shouted in anger.

"How would Zheng dare?" Although she said she didn't dare, Bai Zheng's thin body remained straight.

"After all they are siblings, Zheng naturally believes that anyone in the imperial court would harm my father. Only my General Mansion do not, and not only so, I should do my best to help my father if anything happens to him. Otherwise... Do you think the Emperor will believe that a mere third-grade household minister lures corruption away for profit, or do you think that a general in possession of four hundred thousand soldiers will have the heart to disobey him a little? "

Bai Yizhang immediately got up, the table was pushed back by his sudden movement, Bai Zheng nimbly dodged it, then raised his head to bump into Bai Yizhang's slightly red eyes: "My General Mansion has always been for His Majesty, for His Great Zhou's life and death, do you think you can rely on this to climb up to me! You can make His Majesty suspect me? "

Bai Zheng laughed softly. This smile made Bai Yizhang feel an intense unease in his heart.

"What if Zheng has true evidence?"
