Chapter 346: Confused
The Ye family guard's eyes widened, as if someone had opened the door to a new world, "Yes, I understand."
Ye Anlan looked at him with gratified eyes of "children can be taught", "If they dare to procrastinate like this, you can just take our people out of the city as soon as possible to avoid the limelight."
It is true that she agreed to help Bai Qingzhi save people, but it doesn't mean that she will put some of her personal guards in order to save a group of people who are not able to use their brains.
Being cautious, she didn't even let her personal guards contact other people's family members in the name of Ye Shi or Bai Qingzhi.
Every family they contacted thought that what they were facing was someone sent by their relatives to save them.
This is a retreat that Ye Anlan has left for herself and Bai Qingzhi from the very beginning. If they do this, even if something goes wrong with one of the families they are targeting, they will not be able to provide any valuable clues to implicate Bai Qingzhi. Or Ye Anlan, naturally, it would not affect other people who were also the target of Ye Anlan and the others.
In addition, Ye Anlan also solemnly mentioned that Ye's personal guards must never put their lives and their companions' lives on the line in order to save people, especially those who are foolish.
Ye's personal guard, who was brainwashed by his master, answered yes. He stood up, bowed to Ye Anlan and left, and ran away like the wind after getting permission.
Li Jing, who had been listening silently, did not put down the tea cup in his hand until this time, and he said to Ye Anlan: "We have to speed up the evacuation of the other companies as well."
Ye Anlan nodded in agreement, "Fortunately, we've already made almost the same arrangements."
Li Jing glanced at her, "How are you preparing for the Bai family?"
Ye Anlan said: "The only thing missing is that you haven't found a substitute for Young Master Bai."
It’s true, she doesn’t have such a big bodyguard_(:з」∠)_
Li Jing thought for a while, "I think you can ask Mrs. Bai to help choose someone."
Ye Anlan was taken aback.
Li Jing said again: "The Bai family has a lot of servants, young master Bai has nearly 20 servants who grew up together, and all of them were carefully trained as his future personal soldiers. These people know Bai Young master, playing him is not easy to show flaws. In addition, they have all practiced martial arts, are proficient in bows and horses, and are agile. When you and I want to withdraw from the capital after finishing our business, the pretending little master Bai can accompany you all the way. There will be no danger of life.”
He knew that Ye Anlan had always been very lenient to children, and she would not push other innocent children to die in order to save Young Master Bai, so he specifically mentioned this last point.
As he expected, when he said that those children were all skilled in bows and horses, and they could escape the capital with them, Ye Anlan was immediately relieved and beamed with joy.
She said to Li Jing: "Then I will ask Liu Niang to send a letter to the Hou Mansion tonight."
Wen Liuniang, who was on the line with the Hou Mansion as an embroiderer, has now become "Miss Bai's favorite embroiderer outside the mansion", and she will go to Miss Bai's place in the Hou Mansion almost every two or three days. run a trip.
Although each of her trips to the Hou's Mansion has its own reasons, in fact, she does not go to send skirts, change skirts, send handkerchiefs, discuss patterns, and choose screen frames. She just uses these various names, which are reasonable. In and out of Houfu.
Others thought she was just lucky, and accidentally won Miss Bai's favor with her embroidery skills, but they didn't know that she was actually just a tool person in charge of passing messages back and forth_(:з」∠)_
As for why Wen Liuniang was in charge of running errands, instead of Ye Anlan herself after she changed her appearance, or Ye's personal guard who replaced her in the jewelry shop, the reason is also very simple-no matter how rich the Hou Mansion is, it is impossible to buy it every now and then. Buying jewelry once, isn't it?
***
Two days later, Ye's personal guards transferred all the target people, including the Bai family, away in batches on the same day, and Ye Anlan and the others also entered Weipinghou's mansion through that secret passage, and began to formally play the role of Weipinghou. The master and servant of the house.
Because rumors of Bai Qingzhi collaborating with the enemy and treason have already spread in Beijing, the fake Bai family members who are on the cusp of the storm have justifiably started a life of "avoiding suspicion" behind closed doors.
Ye Anlan, who was pretending to be Mrs. Bai, dismissed nearly 80% of the servants in one day under the pretext that "the Bai family cannot protect themselves now".
Hongying, the maidservant next to Mrs. Zhenbai, and Wen Liuniang, who pretended to be another big maid beside her, Haitang, came forward together. They not only returned the contracts of prostitution of the servants of the Bai family who were not taken away by Mrs. Bai and the others, but also followed the real For the sake of the Bai family, each of them was given some rice, flour, cloth and silk money so that they would not be deprived of food and clothing after they went out.
Under the terrified gaze of these servants of the Bai family, Hongying also conveyed the promise of Mrs. Bai to them.
The old lady Bai promised them that if the Bai family can get through this calamity safely, and they are willing to return to the Bai family, then the Bai family will definitely accept them again.
With her words, those eyeliners who originally wanted to incite other servants to make trouble suddenly had no excuse to accuse the Bai family of being ungrateful.
They didn't know that their true identities had been exposed, so even at this time, they still didn't dare to make too abrupt moves, for fear that the Bai family would suspect them because of this.
Ye Anlan was happy that they had scruples in doing things, so they pretended to be blind collectively, and gently let go of these Bai family servants who had different expressions.
After all the servants of the Bai family who were scheduled to be dismissed left the Hou's mansion one after another, Ye Anlan let herself slump on the chair without image, "The next step is to get money."
The family members of the generals of the Dingbei Army have all been sent out of the capital by them. When this group of people joins up with other people from the counties outside the city, Ye's personal guards who are in charge of taking them one step ahead will **** them to the north according to the established route. Border several states.
It's a pity that in order to be as inconspicuous as possible, Ye Anlan couldn't give the money needed to build the pass in the northern border at the same time.
But it doesn't matter, now those guys who will become their weakness have been sent away, it doesn't matter if Ye Anlan acts a little bigger in the next action.
She asked Yang Xiaotao, "I asked you to prepare for the retreat, how are you preparing?"
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Li Jing who was drinking tea opposite Ye Anlan, "It's ready. Thanks to Mr. Li for your help."
Ye Anlan raised his eyebrows.
Li Jing smiled and explained her doubts, "I used to study in Beijing Middle School, and I have heard of some small tricks used by officials in the capital to harm public interests."
Yang Xiaotao had an eye-opening look of excitement, "Girl, you don't know, those officials and lords really can get money from anywhere. As for the city wall that Mr. Li asked me and Chang'an to investigate, it is really only The outermost layer and the innermost layer are bluestones, and the middle of these two layers of bluestones is all perfunctory silt and straw."
