Chapter 283: Catching the Ghost Inside
The beautiful thoughts in Xiao Jing's mind disappeared in an instant, and he took a closer look according to what Bai Weiying said, and found that a page had really been torn off, but he was too eager in the past, or for some other reason, so he ignored this subtle detail.
"Except for me, no one is allowed to enter the study, including Mu'er." Xiao Jing seemed to think of something, and said: "However, there will be people here who come to tidy up and clean up regularly, but those are all women, and they don't have martial arts." ”
Bai Weiying looked around the study, and then raised his feet and walked out the door.
"Aren't you looking for it?" Xiao Jing asked this sentence, only to realize that he seemed to be stupid, since the person deliberately tore this page off, doesn't that prove in disguise that all the useful records in this study have been destroyed? No matter how much they tried to find it, it would be in vain.
Bai Weiying didn't speak, she leaned on the railing, holding her chin, observing everyone who passed downstairs.
Suddenly, a figure attracted Bai Weiying's attention, and she quietly locked her gaze on the footsteps of the woman walking in front.
Ordinary women walk with lotus steps, or small steps, all because women's stature is generally not as tall as men, so even small steps look harmonious.
But the woman's way of walking and posture seemed to be uncoordinated, even a little weird, as if the original big stride was deliberately small.
And the woman at the head is about the same size as the other women who accompany her, and under such conditions, such a walking posture is really a bit abnormal.
Because Bai Weiying's gaze was very vague, the man didn't notice that Bai Weiying was secretly observing her.
"Xiao Jing, who is the woman at the front?" Bai Weiying stretched out her hand to the back of the woman she suspected and asked.
Although it was night, Xiao Jing's eyesight was excellent, so he could clearly see who the person Bai Weiying was talking about.
"She is Xu Qing, the manager of the valley, responsible for the daily chores of the valley." Xiao Jing knew that Bai Weiying must not have asked this question on a whim, so he immediately reacted, "Could it be that you are doubting her?" ”
Xu Qing is the chief manager, and she is a woman, this entry and exit of the inner room, cleaning and management is naturally her business, if such a person wants to enter the study, it is also justified, and no one will doubt it.
"That's right." Bai Weiying told Xiao Jing in detail about the clues he observed and the guesses in his heart, and added at the end: "What I saw is not all true, I once saw in an ancient book that there is a medicine in this world that can make a man become a woman." ”
The meaning of Bai Weiying's words was already obvious, she suspected that Xu Qing had used some medicine, or what hands and feet had been moved, so that she could become a weak woman, in order to hide people's eyes.
After all, in the eyes of the world, women are weak, so naturally, when something happens, the object of people's suspicion will subconsciously skip the woman and turn their attention to those more capable men.
Xiao Jing took a deep breath, although Bai Weiying's guess was a little ridiculous, and it could even be said to be wild, but there was a voice in Xiao Jing's heart telling him that what Bai Weiying said was right.
As for what kind of purpose Xu Qing wanted to harm Xiao Mu, it is still unknown.
But no matter what, Xiao Jing will not let go of anyone who dares to hurt Xiao Mu.
Just when Bai Weiying and Xiao Jing were discussing specific countermeasures, Xu Qing took the initiative to send them to the door.
Xu Qing broke into the study in a panic and said to the two people sitting in front of him, "Oh no, Miss...... Miss, she's fainted again! ”
When Xiao Jing heard this, when he stood up, he mentioned the light work and disappeared in place.
When Bai Weiying was about to raise his heels, Xu Qing suddenly pulled Bai Weiying's skirt, and said with some eagerness: "White girl, while the valley master is now in the young lady's room, you should quickly find a chance to escape, lest you end up with a bloody death." ”
Bai Weiying glanced at Xu Qing deeply, the expression on her face did not seem to be fake, and the worry revealed in her eyes also seemed to be real.
It's just that why is she in such a hurry to let herself go?
Is it really out of sympathy, I can't bear to see Bai Weiying die because I want to save Xiao Mu, or is there something else?
"Manager Xu, you get up and speak first." Bai Weiying stretched out his hand to help Xu Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed faintly, as if he was very helpless and said: "I also want to leave, but there are many organs in this valley, plus my younger brother and friends are under house arrest in Tianji Pavilion by the valley master, if I leave alone, it is really inappropriate." ”
Bai Weiying saw that Xu Qing seemed to be in a dilemma and deliberation, and continued to complain: "These days, I am also frightened, for fear that once I am not careful, I will step into the land of no return, but the situation is really bad, unless I can find another way, otherwise ......."
Bai Weiying didn't finish the rest of the words, but as long as he was in the know, he would be able to know what the result of waiting for Bai Weiying would be.
Xu Qing's fist on his lap was clenched and relaxed, and Bai Weiying's afterglow always paid attention to Xu Qing's changes, and hid the smile on the corner of his mouth by drinking tea.
After struggling, Xu Qing finally lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's because I didn't think about it, let's wait for later." ”
Bai Weiying nodded, and then Huaying walked in and said to Bai Weiying with her lips: "Girl, Miss is dangerous, the valley master asked you to hurry over." ”
Bai Weiying listened, and when she passed by Xu Qing, she patted her shoulder with her hand, and then left with Huaying.
When they arrived at Xiao Mu's room, Bai Chongming and Xiao Jing were both by Xiao Mu's side, Bai Weiying did not hesitate at all, picked up the dagger on the table, and slashed hard towards his arm.
Blood flowed from the wound and dripped into the porcelain bowl, and in a short time it filled the bowl.
"Feed her this blood." Bai Weiying's face was a little pale, and Hua Ying hurriedly handed the porcelain bowl to Xiao Jing, and then turned over the wound medicine and gauze.
Because Hua Ying witnessed the scene of Bai Weiying cutting her wrists and bleeding, her hands were even more subconsciously shaking, and when she bandaged Bai Weiying's wounds, her strength was not well controlled, causing Bai Weiying to "hiss" in a very low voice.
Xiao Jing did not ignore this cry of pain, and after watching Xiao Mu drink the bowl of blood, he got up and walked to Bai Weiying's side, replacing Hua Ying, and gently and slowly treating Bai Weiying's wounds.
Hua Ying silently retreated to the side, although Xiao Jing's face was calm as usual, the slight tremor of his fingertips still betrayed his not peaceful mood at the moment.
