Chapter 734: Father and Son's Conversation (3)

The Black Flag? ”

Bai Yuanyi glanced at his son, raised his hand suddenly, and the rough palm that he had cultivated in the war for many years grabbed his son's ear like a pliers, and twisted half a circle despite his painful cry.

"Fat gall!"

"Dad, spare your life!" Bai Qing tilted his body and begged for mercy, "Dad, where am I fat?" I didn't do anything, and there must be a reason to convince me if you want to punish me, right? ”

"Do you dare to play stupid with Lao Tzu?" Bai Yuanyi let go of his son's ears, slapped him on the head again, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Let me ask you, who is Qi Ke?" ”

"Who is Qi Ke? Qi Ke is Qi Ke, a civilian who was collected by the army on the way south last year. ”

"Civilians halfway through?" Bai Yuanyi naturally didn't believe his son's nonsense, "It's easy to deceive when Lao Tzu? The commoner who received it halfway happened to have a title deed from your former in-laws? ”

"Tsk." Bai Qing rubbed his beaten head, his face was serious, and he didn't look stupid, "The world was so chaotic last year, how did you care about Qi Ke's land deed, anyway, we have no evidence to prove that she did bad things, on the contrary, because of this Zhuangzi, she was framed and imprisoned by the local squire when she first arrived, and it was not easy to clear up her grievances." ”

Bai Yuanyi didn't believe half a word, but he didn't pull his son's ears to force him to tell the truth, but instead lifted his clothes and sat down on the chair, lifted the teapot and poured another cup of cold boiled water, and drank half a cup of tea in the posture of tea, his eyes were far away, as if he was distracted, he pinched the cup in his hand and played with it, with the embarrassment and melancholy of an old father.

"Dad, you have something to say."

"Eh, what else am I talking about, my son is older, he has his own ideas, and his courage is fat, and he dares to lie in front of Lao Tzu."

"Daddy......" Bai Qing knew what his father wanted to ask, but he naturally refused to admit it, he didn't tell the truth last year and directly changed Qi Ke's household registration, and now it is even more impossible to tell the truth.

"Last year, you wrote to tell me about the Qi family's, and the person who told you so many details was this Qi Ke, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Bai Yuanyi stared at his son sharply, Bai Qing knew that his father was sharp-eyed, and he didn't dare to have a superfluous expression, so he nodded honestly.

"You said at the time that Qi Ke died, but Qi Ke survived, so you continued to settle down in this village with your cousin's inheritance."

"Yes."

"Yes, you wrote so in the letter, and I also believed it at the time, and it was true that I sent someone back to the capital to verify it, so I cleaned up the Qi Qiu family and took revenge on your unfortunate ex-fiancΓ©e."

"Yes." Bai Qing bowed his head deeply, looking harmless and honest, but he didn't know that his behavior was hiding a secret in the eyes of his father and son, and he was guilty.

"I didn't expect it, Qi Ke has a good ability, and since she settled down, she has made meritorious contributions again and again, I just want to be an ordinary landlord and can't pretend to be stupid anymore, and squeeze out the silver to reward her under the premise of tight military spending, I just rewarded it once, how long has it been, and I came again."

"Well, Qi Ke is indeed a capable person."

"Phew, what did you tell me last year, Qi Ke's cousin is Qi Hongyi's old family, and she can read and write by eavesdropping in private schools, and reading books is mainly to steal Qi Hongyi's family's collection, in short, she is a little pitiful who racks her brains just to get a few more books to read."

"Yes, she can be here today because she is diligent and studious, and she is still collecting books since she settled here, but unfortunately so many bookstores and bookstores are closed, and it is getting harder and harder to save a few books."
