Chapter 50: News
"How's it going over there?" Bai Qiuchi passed the news and asked Jinxu.
"Still haven't found them. Big Brother Bai, what should we do? Jin Su asked anxiously.
"You go back and rest first, and I'll look for it."
"But ......"
"We need to preserve our strength."
"Okay, then Brother Bai, you should also rest early."
-------------------------------------------------------------
If there is no trace of the official everywhere, it must be hidden, as for Ah Liang...... It is possible to be in one place.
"Bai Dao Chief, I knew you would come." Hu Yanshi looked at Bai Qiuchi, who came in in the rain, and motioned for him to sit down.
"Oh? The eldest young master is really like a god. Bai Qiuchi also made a rare "joke": "It's really flattering to be waiting for me so late without resting, and it makes you tired." ”
"Bai Dao is serious, it is my honor to wait for you." Hu Yanshi motioned for Bai Qiuchi to take a sip of hot tea and took the lead in asking, "I don't know what information Bai Dao Chang has about the death of the master." ”
"Then it depends on what information the eldest young master takes in exchange."
"Oh?" Hu Yanshi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't expect that such an upright person as Bai Daochang would also learn to bargain." ”
"Don't dare, someone Bai is just according to the habits of your businessman, young master."
"I know you're looking for someone, and the people in this place won't be looking for it seriously." Hu Yanshi prompted.
"The eldest young master still understands me, this information is very good." Bai Qiuchi understood, so he asked rhetorically: "I don't know what the eldest young master wants to know?" ”
"What was the situation like?"
"I just went to the scene and saw that the old man was not injured, but his whole body was bloody, and his lips were purple, he should have died of poisoning, and the food was indeed poisonous. But later, when I took my family to carry the body, I found that all the blood stains on his body had disappeared, and the toxicity was undetectable. ”
"It means that someone has gone in after that, and it must be a master of using poison." Hu Yanshi analyzed.
A master of poisoning...... Could it be ......
Bai Qiuchi raised his head, and Hu Yanshi also looked at him meaningfully.
"Who is the best at using poison in this family, I guess Bai Daochang also knows it very well."
It was the second lady Shu Xueyan, who planted a lot of colorless and tasteless orangutan grass ground into powder and dissolved in water in the courtyard. However, it cannot be ruled out that someone else secretly picked herbs to make poison.
"I know that there is a herb that is colorless, tasteless, and highly poisonous when dissolved in water, and we grow it at home for the treatment of the third brother." Hu Yanshi took a sip of tea slowly and said, "But it's hard to say whether it's used for other purposes." ”
"Will the toxicity of this herb go away?"
"I don't know." Hu Yanshi said meaningfully, "It should be better to consult a professional." ”
"What the hell is the Third Young Master...... What's going on? This herb is needed. ”
"I haven't seen my third brother for several years, and I don't know. The third brother doesn't know if Bai Daochang has been there? ”
"Not yet."
"That's a pity, the third brother is very interesting."
Interesting? He actually described his brother like this.
"I don't know what advice the eldest young master has?"
"Our words are unapproachable, and if it were you, there should be no problem." Hu Yanshi turned the teacup in his hand.
Doesn't that mean you didn't say it?
"I also want to ask, is there any connection between the second lady and Steward Mo?"
"Don't you steward it...... He came to our house after the second lady. He is really suitable to be a housekeeper, arranges all things in the family in an orderly manner, and takes good care of the three ladies, if it is biased, it is indeed better for the second lady, they are also of the same age, and their personalities are also suitable. In fact, I think Steward Mo is more suitable for the second lady who has no quarrel with the world than my dead father. ”
"Where do you start with no quarrel with the world?"
"Since the second lady married into my family, unlike the other two ladies, she has always been very peaceful, usually very low-key, basically does not participate in family decision-making, and treats her subordinates very kindly. Let's put it this way," Hu Yanshi seemed to think of a very apt description, and said with a smile, "Heh, we all treat her as if she doesn't exist." ”
"When you hired Steward Mo, did you investigate his origin?"
"I seem to have answered more than one of your questions, so if you don't have more interesting information, please go back and rest."
"Before, the eldest young master promised me to invite someone to come out and meet me, so he won't be untrustworthy, right?"
"Hehe, Bai Dao Chang laughed, how could I not believe what I said? It is natural to say that you will meet, but if you must meet, now is not the time, Bai Dao Chang, please go back and wait for good news. Hu Yanshi deliberately yawned and said, "If Bai Daochang wants to appreciate Zaixia's sleeping posture, Zaixia won't mind." ”
"You ......"
"Don't be angry, Bai Daochang, you said that I am a businessman, and if I tell you so much today, I can still be regarded as trading at a loss. Please come back. ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was no thunder, but the rain didn't stop.
Bai Qiuchi was put on a stand by Hu Yanshi, but he couldn't force it, so he had to go back first. He sat at the table combing through the clues, the sound of the water in his ears was warm and ethereal, and before he knew it, he was so tired that he fell asleep.
"Akiike ......"
"Autumn pool, wake up and wake up ......"
Tearful rainbows?
Bai Qiuchi opened his eyes and saw the tear rainbow smiling not far away, this smile made him feel like a spring breeze.
This must be another dream.
The golden yellow of the ginkgo biloba flutters all over the sky, like a flock of golden butterflies dancing. The ground is also golden ginkgo, spread out into a warm blanket, and it looks like a flowing river of gold.
"Ginkgo, how beautiful." Tear Rainbow approached Bai Qiuchi's side, raised her hand, and just caught a piece of falling ginkgo.
"It's beautiful."
"Qiuchi, do you know the flower language of ginkgo?" Tear Rainbow put the ginkgo biloba in Bai Qiuchi's hand.
Bai Qiuchi picked up this piece of golden, small fan-shaped ginkgo biloba, and gently stroked the texture on it, a very real touch, he shook his head.
"Finally, there are things you don't understand. Every flower has its own flower language," Tear Rainbow looked happy and said proudly, "Ginkgo's flower language is tenacity, composure, and innocence." It's like you! ”
"Really?" Bai Qiuchi lowered his head and pondered.
"Akichi, this way!" Tear Rainbow ran away softly at some point, she smiled softly and beckoned to Bai Qiuchi.
A swing was tied to the trunk of a stout tree, swaying slightly with the wind, as if inviting them.
"Akichi, help me push the swing." Tear saw him coming, and immediately sat down.
"Okay."
"Higher."
"Taller!"
"A little higher!"
"Hahaha......"
"Akichi, I'm flying!"
The laughter of tears echoed in the wind, as clear as a mountain spring, and as happy as a mountain spring.
She closed her eyes and faced the wind again and again, and her headband was also golden, fluttering and swaying with the wind along with her long hair.
Again and again, Bai Qiuchi tirelessly pushed the swing according to the tear rainbow's request, until she was tired of playing and said that she wanted to take a break.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Have fun?"
"Very happy! So happy! The corners of the tear rainbow's mouth are still curved.
"So can you tell me, who the hell are you?" Bai Qiuchi suddenly asked her seriously.
"Qiuchi, I'm a tear rainbow." Tear Rainbow winked at him and said in a coquettish tone, "Don't joke with me like that~ I'll be sad." ”
"You're not a tear rainbow." Bai Qiuchi said in a very affirmative tone.
"Why do you say that?"
"We ...... Tear Rainbow and I have never seen Ginkgo biloba together. Bai Qiuchi asked, "Are you a demon trapped underwater?" ”
"Hee-hee, Qiu Chi is really too smart to be seen," Tear Rainbow smiled even more happily and asked him, "How do you know I'm trapped in the water?"
"Otherwise, why don't you chase it to the surface, and why do you borrow someone else's body?"
"Qiu Chi is really thoughtful, so have you seen through all my little tricks?"
"It's not a trick, it's all a living human life." Bai Qiuchi looked at the familiar but unfamiliar face in front of him and said, the feeling in his heart was very complicated.
"Human life?" She sneered, "Hmph, compared to my sister, their lives are nothing." ”
"Sister?"
"I still have something to do today, so I won't play with you." The water demon turned to leave.
"Wait, what did you do with those servants?" Bai Qiuchi grabbed her and asked eagerly.
"They......" The water demon smiled innocently and replied, tilting her head for a moment, "they should be happy." ”
Without waiting for Bai Qiuchi to react, the water demon disappeared and turned into water vapor, and everything around him was also withdrawn from Bai Qiuchi's dream, and he woke up.
This demon is so powerful! It actually entered his dream. Those officials were indeed taken away by her, and I don't know what kind of danger and torture they face, so I have to rescue them as soon as possible. And who is the sister in the mouth of the water demon?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Brother Bai, there's news over there. He said that he inquired all the way to find the home of the former prefect, but he died and could not find out the news, and the prefect's family also kept silent about the case, as if they were hiding something. He planned to start looking for the family of someone who had contact with Hu Fu three years ago, investigate the situation first, and talk to the prefect's family more. ”
Early in the morning, Jin Fu came to Baiqiu Pond to deliver breakfast and report the situation.
"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Qiuchi invited Jin Xu to have breakfast together, and this time she did not refuse.
"Last night, I saw the water demon."
"Really? Where is it? ”
"In a dream."
"Huh?" Jin Su was very surprised.
"She ......" Bai Qiuchi hesitated for a moment and said, "She transformed into the appearance of my most important person, but I saw through it." ”
"The most important person? So who is that? The focus of Jin Xu seemed to be starting to deviate, and seeing that Bai Qiuchi was silent, she said apologetically, "Brother Bai, I'm sorry." ”
"It's fine." Bai Qiuchi shook his head and said, "Now it seems that there may really be some connection between them. I'll talk to you slowly when I have a chance. At the moment, the top priority is to get rid of this demon first and rescue the servants. ”
"Big Brother Bai, let me get rid of the demon this time." Jin Fu took the initiative to ask for help.
"No, it's too dangerous. I know now, she can transfigurate, then she may also transfigurate into your most important person, I don't want you to bear this kind of pain. ”
"That's not necessarily, I have the magic weapon given by Master! You'll take care of it on the shore, but if you don't, I'll run away! Jin Xu said in a relaxed tone, suddenly held Bai Qiuchi's hand, looked at him firmly and said, "Brother Bai, believe me." I really want to help you get this out of the way and find the person you're looking for. ”
"Okay......" I don't know why, looking at her eyes, Bai Qiuchi had no way to refuse, and said, "Jinxu, all along, you have been helping me find someone, but the person you are looking for has no news, I remember you said, he is also surnamed Bai ......"
