Chapter 11: The Death of Qing Zhi

The matter in Yuzhou was successfully resolved, and Ruoxi and his party returned to Kyoto. In her heart, there is still one thing pressed - the cause of Shiniang's death. She has no evidence now, and it may be difficult to reveal Wang Chengguang's true face based on Zhao Dahu's words alone, and she will be bitten back by him. Shi Niang's death day is just around the corner, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible to comfort Shi Niang's soul in the sky.

Ruoxi entered the palace to recover her life and went to the Tai Hospital by the way, and she still needs to discuss this matter with her senior brother. didn't talk outside, Leng Rui simply followed her back to the house.

Ruoxi didn't expect that Bai Yitian would move directly to General Anping's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Ruochen's talent in medicine is extremely high, and Bai Yitian realized that there was a successor after medical treatment, and he was overjoyed. Ruochen didn't want to leave his sister and didn't want to move to Rongxingtang, so Bai Yitian also moved to the general because of him. also made a drastic transformation of a pharmacy. Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh at the master and apprentice who were addicted to alchemy, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, Ruochen would be able to start refining medicine.

It's good that the manager has someone who can take care of him a little. Since he likes it, this one who is a sister will naturally support it.

The two of them met Bai Yitian and instructed Mo Ze to guard outside, and the two of them entered the study.

"Ruoxi, what's the matter? Why are you so cautious? Could it be that someone can still break into your Anping General's Mansion? ”

There was no smile on Ruoxi's face, "Senior brother, there is another hidden meaning in the death of the senior mother. ”

"What did you say?" The teacup that I had just picked up, one fell unsteadily to the ground. "What do you mean by that?"

recounted the events of Yuzhou in detail, and added a cup of tea to the senior brother again.

"Do you mean to say that the death of Shi Niang was deliberately designed by Wang Chengguang?"

"Yes!" Leng Rui still didn't want to believe that the junior brother of the same sect would do such a thing, "Ruoxi, you can't just rely on Zhao Dahu's one-sided words to make a conclusion easily." Cheng Guang's temperament is a little cold, but we have been in the same door for many years, and we still have to trust each other. ”

Ruoxi knew that she had no substantive evidence in her hands, and she couldn't even convince the senior brother, let alone the master. "Senior brother, Yuzhou and Jiangcheng are thousands of miles apart, if what Zhao Dahu said is not true, where did he learn about the whole story?"

"I thought about it carefully, when the bandits were rampant in Jiangcheng, in order to recuperate the body of the master, the master had to go to Jiangcheng to find the thousand-year-old ginseng in person despite the dissuasion. Who told Master the news of the appearance of that ginseng plant? I am in Jiangcheng and have not yet received the news, why would Wang Chengguang, who is far away in Kyoto, know? Also, before Shi Niang died, Wang Chengguang was not in front of him, according to him, it was Master who ordered him to go to Jiangcheng to find me. I asked Master, and it was true. At that time, the place where Shi Niang was killed was only more than ten miles away from the Red Flame Army's station, and it could be reached in half an hour. But I didn't wait for Wang Chengguang's people in the Chinese military tent at all, or Chiyan's scouts found out about the abnormality and came back to report to me, but in the end it was still a step too late. Ruoxi sighed and said, "Senior brother, at that time, we only thought that he was too frightened, and the master was grief-stricken after the death of his master, so he didn't think much about it, but when I think about it today, this is full of loopholes." ”

Leng Rui had to admit that what Ruoxi said made sense. On that day, if he had changed someone to accompany him, or if he had informed Ruoxi earlier, or if Wang Chengguang had run a few steps, this tragedy would not have happened.

It's a pity that in this world, there is never an if.

"I know, I still have one thing that I don't understand, why did Wang Chengguang want to kill Shi Niang?"

"Maybe I want to ask him this."

"What do you want to do? Master has always been a taboo for Master, and without evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to convince Master. ”

"I know, I've got it."

That night, Ruoxi said that he was going to make up a thank-you banquet for Ruochen, and invited all the senior brothers to come to the house for a gathering.

It happened that Bai Yitian was also in the General's Mansion, and everyone had no objections.

Accepting such a baby apprentice, Bai Yitian was so happy, he was very interested, and even drank a lot of wine, Ruoxi has been secretly observing, although Wang Chengguang concealed it very well, but Ruoxi still felt that every time Bai Yitian praised Ruochen, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and resentment.

Everyone was having their best time, when Mo Ze suddenly came in, "General Qiyu, that man's mouth is too hard, the brothers interrogated for a day, and they didn't ask anything." Ruoxi's chopsticks slammed on the table, and everyone was shocked, not understanding what was going on.

"Is there still a mouth that the Red Flame Army can't open? If you can't ask tomorrow morning, Ben Shuai will personally teach them what torture is! ”

"Yes, the general is angry, and his subordinates will go immediately!"

"Sister, what's wrong?" Ruochen had never seen such a sister, and she was a little scared. Ruoxi's face softened, and she said to Ruochen, "Go back to the room first, my sister and my master and brother have something to say." ”

Seeing Ruochen walking away, Ruoxi stood up and said, "Master, it's the disciple who is not doing well, the gang of bandits who killed the master back then, and the rest of the party are still alive." ”

The chopsticks in Bai Tiantian's hand fell in response, and when he looked over, Wang Chengguang's hand also trembled.

"What did you say?"

"When Yucheng incorporated Heifeng Village this time, it was the big boss of Heifeng Village who handed people over to me personally. I suspected that he had other accomplices, so I escorted him back to the Red Flame Army for interrogation. In order to survive, the man actually said that someone deliberately planned what happened back then. ”

Bang, it was Wang Chengguang who touched the wine glass, "Yes, who is it?" ”

Ruoxi shook his head, "That man knows that once he speaks, he will definitely die." ”

"But don't worry, Master, when you enter the Red Flame Army, you have to say if you want to say it or not, the Red Flame Army has the means to make him speak."

Bai Tiantian got up suddenly, didn't say a word, just walked to the door, and didn't say until he was about to walk out of the door, "Qingzhi's death day is coming." ”

"Master rest assured, I will find out the people behind the scenes and avenge my master."

"Eat!" Several disciples who looked at each other also picked up chopsticks absentmindedly under Leng Rui's majesty. Ruoxi's words just now caused a shock in their hearts in one way or another. I thought it was just an accidental misfortune, but I didn't expect that someone was deliberately plotting, who would be unable to get along with such a gentle and amiable woman, or rather, is there any other purpose? Wang Chengguang's heart also stirred up thousands of waves, he thought that the incident was done very cleanly, but he didn't expect that someone escaped in the end, if he was really asked by Ling Ruoxi something, with their means, he was afraid that not only would he not survive, but even death would be a luxury. Wang Chengguang was careful in his heart, and he didn't miss half a flaw on his face, even Ruoxi, secretly observed for a long time, except for the panic at the beginning, there was no more inappropriateness.

Bai Yitian didn't eat much dinner, and Wang Chengguang even made some supper before leaving, and personally sent it to Bai Yitian's room. On weekdays, he is like this, he has always been careful, looking at the people who carefully closed the door and left, Bai Yitian also sighed with his own emotion, this disciple is really filial.

A bowl of millet porridge also took a lot of thought. Add lotus seeds, red dates, and a little honey, which has a good effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep.

It was already late at night, except for a few autumn insects that were still active, and the entire Anping General's Mansion had already fallen asleep.

When the moon is in the sky, it is difficult to illuminate people's hearts.

Qing Zhi's death day was just a few days away.

Bai Yitian took a few disciples and held Qing Zhi's favorite hibiscus during his lifetime. Qing Zhi still loves flowers, and when she was alive, she took care of the small wooden house where she lived in seclusion with Bai Yitian like a sea of flowers, even more beautiful than the imperial garden in the palace. There are thousands of flowers on land, water, plants and trees, and Qingzhi's favorite is this hibiscus. "Plug Jin as a fence, and cover the small pond in clusters." The vitality of hibiscus is extremely tenacious, and the morning and evening are all for the next more splendid opening. What Qingzhi loves is this gentle persistence.

It's a pity that he couldn't hold on to it like hibiscus.

The disciples saluted, and left the space for Bai Yitian. Although in the past two years, the pain of losing his wife has not diminished in the slightest, but has increased day by day.

Bai Yitian's encounter with Qingzhi is really old-fashioned. Bai Yitian, who was addicted to medicine, accidentally fell down the mountain in order to collect medicine, and happened to be rescued by Qingzhi's father and daughter who were collecting medicine nearby. In the process of taking care of Bai Yitian, the two of them have a crush on each other. In addition, Qingzhi's father is also a local Langzhong, Qingzhi is also proficient in medical skills under the teaching of his father, and the two have more common language.

The two have been in love since they got married, and their husbands sing and their wives follow. Unexpectedly, flying disasters will disillusion all this.

Bai Yitian has been living in self-blame and guilt, if it weren't for his insistence on going to Yuzhou and insisting on buying the thousand-year-old ginseng, Qingzhi might not have died.

But he didn't expect that this tragedy, which he still can't get out of, turned out to be premeditated.

"Qingzhi, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and avenge you."

Burst!

Bai Yitian fell in love to the depths, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, unconscious.

The hibiscus flowers next to the tombstone are blooming just right. Under the blazing sun, it blooms like fire.

Ruoxi and the others who were waiting at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but be a little anxious after not seeing each other for a long time.

"Why hasn't Master come down for so long?" Ruochen Road. "Nothing will happen, will it?"

"Master and Master have a deep relationship, let's talk a little more." It was the third senior brother Yuan Hao who spoke. That's what he said, but it didn't seem to have been delayed for so long in previous years, and he was relieved to Ruochen, and his eyes unconsciously looked up the mountain.

Ruoxi was faintly uneasy in her heart. Wang Chengguang didn't make any moves for a few days, wasn't it him? Ruoxi was thinking about things in her head, and her eyes were looking at her at random, not knowing where she fell. One, two, three, three, not good!

"What about Wang Chengguang?" Ruoxi felt bad, Wang Chengguang didn't know when he was gone.

"Maybe it's gone, right? Second senior brother, senior brother! ”

Among these four people, only Ruoxi and Leng Rui knew the truth, and the two of them looked at each other and understood. Yuan Hao was still shouting there, and there was no response.

"Master!" As soon as the words came out, Leng Rui understood in seconds, and the two of them ran up the mountain together, anxious, and unconsciously brought light skills under their feet.

"Eh, senior brother and little junior sister, what are you doing, wait for me!"

"Eh, little junior brother, why are you running so fast at night!" The next second Ruoxi moved, Ruochen followed, and Yuan Hao looked at the three people in front helplessly, shouting and chasing. "Wait for me."

"Hey, you're running too fast, I'm ......." Yuan Hao was halfway through his words, and was forced back by the scene in front of him. Master! Master! What's going on? ”

I saw Bai Tiantian lying on the ground with a pale face, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and a large pool of blood on the ground.
