Chapter 141: The bet was right
At the same time, in the almost dark underground prison of the prison, Jiang San slapped the table in anger, and the porcelain cups and bowls on the table were shaken.
"And there's more! Yesterday in the Tai Hospital, the people in the Tai Hospital were looking for trouble, and today in our prison...... our own family looking for trouble! β
In front of Jiang San, the two small flag officers looked at each other, "...... The third master, this Bai Yi, are we still trying it? β
"Nonsense!" Jiang San roared, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, "When I was caught last night, I should have been tried immediately!" This has been dragging on for a day and a night, and if we can't get Bai Yi's confession, what will we do! Take your heads, or mine!? β
The little flag officers glanced at Jiang San tremblingly.
"Words...... You can't say that, Third Master. One of them said, "Yesterday, according to your orders, we were arraigned overnight, but the Fourteenth Master suddenly ran over and intervened, and we ...... It's really a no-brainer. β
Jiang San forcibly suppressed his anger, "What about Wei Fourteen and the others? β
"It's in Bai Yi's cell," replied the little flag officer, "I came late last night, and without saying a word, we opened the cell and moved in by ourselves." We were supposed to be arraigned at night, but the fourteenth master asked us for the arraignment warrant in the palace, which was even more midnight...... Where are we going to find this thing? β
"Yes," the other continued, "He now eats and lives with Bai Yi, and the meals we sent over in the morning are all exchanged with Bai Yi......
"Why didn't you say it sooner!!" Jiang San was almost mad, and stepped forward to grab one of them by the collar, "If I don't come to the prison today to take a look, you guys will drag it on!" β
"No, the third master, it was the fourteenth master who said let's waitβ"
"Fuck the Fourteenth Master!!" Jiang San couldn't hold back any longer, knocked the person in front of him to the ground with one punch, felt unrelieved, and made up for it with two more kicks.
"Where is Wei 14 and Bai Yi's cell," Jiang San shouted angrily, "Lao Tzu will personally interrogate him today!" β
β¦β¦
On Huang Chongde's side, Bai Ling was already sitting in the guest seat, with steaming new tea in her hand, but she didn't look at it.
The fingers under the sleeves of Bai Ling's shirt were twisted together.
"I didn't want to come to my father-in-law so soon, because I was afraid that things would be as deeply involved as I guessed. If my brother is imprisoned on the first day, I will come to my father-in-law the next day, and I will definitely arouse suspicion if I say it......" Her voice was slightly dry, "but fortunately, Lin Jieyu has been making trouble for the past two days, and I have this opportunity in vain."
"Yes, I did guess at first if there was a misunderstanding, or if our family offended someone somewhere, so I was framed indiscriminately by Jinyiwei, but then I felt that this was not the case."
Huang Chongde didn't speak, just listened silently.
Bai Ling's tone was a little restrained and calm, but he spoke quickly because of the panic in his heart.
"The biggest doubt is why these brocade guards didn't arrest Bai Yi immediately after suspecting him of suspicion.
"Although I haven't dealt with them much before, I also know what the style of these minions raised in Beizhen Fusi is. I had to wait for Bai Yi's customized silver knife to be beaten out before I started to arrest and interrogate, which was not like Jinyiwei's usual style. β
Huang Chongde looked at Bai Ling, "What do you think they should do?" β
Bai Ling frowned, "If you are really worried that my brother is suspected of assassination, wouldn't it be better to arrest someone as soon as you get the news and directly nip all dangers in the bud?" But instead of doing that, they let my brother stay in the hospital for two more days.
"I didn't understand it at first, but last night I suddenly had a guess - because the knife is the most critical and concise evidence, so they, like my brother, are waiting for the knife to be made." Bai Ling's eyes were slightly cold, "Although I'm not sure who the person on the other side is this time, I think they are ready to confront each other in the court." β
Speaking of this, Bai Ling frowned slightly, and her eyes once again revealed a straightforward worry, she looked up at Huang Chongde, "This is what worries me the most...... If they really have set up this game, then it is not only for Bai Yi or my father, no matter whether anyone can return my brother's innocence in the end, Bai Yi's half life will be broken in prison - because these people will not give him a chance to prove his innocence at all, if he waits for the day of confrontation in court, I am afraid that it is only a question whether Bai Yi can still speak......"
Bai Ling's voice stopped abruptly because he was exerting too much force.
Thinking of the torture instruments in the prison, her nails were tightly cut into the flesh, almost leaving blood marks.
Huang Chongde's eyes were lowered, his face was unpleasant, and he had secretly exclaimed in his heart.
It is unbelievable that Bai Ling was able to think of things at such a young age.
It's no wonder that after she got the news, she didn't alarm the concubine, but ran to herself first.
Come to think of it, Bai Ling probably broke Prince Gong's intention to trap her and the concubine in a dilemma...... It's really, really, so rare.
Before Huang Chongde could speak again, Bai Ling had already stood up again and knelt down in front of Huang Chongde again.
"If I wasn't cornered, I wouldn't have risked my father-in-law." Bai Ling's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice, "I remember the day I went to Chengqian Palace for the first time, my father-in-law not only came to see me off, but also taught me not to forget my original intention. I've always remembered that...... Although I don't know why my father-in-law took care of me at that time, Bai Ling could only gamble again and ask my father-in-law to help me through this difficult time. β
Bai Ling said, and kowtowed again, "Bai Ling...... Pleaseββ! β
Huang Chongde sighed, and also got up to help Bai Ling stand up, "Good boy, don't kneel, it's cold on the ground." β
This "good boy" made Bai Ling's eyes hot for a moment.
Bet right.
Bet right.
"What do you think next?" Huang Chongde asked softly.
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could speak, she lowered her head and pressed her eye socket with her sleeve, she sniffled, and then said, "The top priority is to seize time, as long as we rescue Bai Yi before they torture to extract confessions, and when we confront each other again, Bai Yi will have a way to get out." β
"Do you want me to tell the emperor?"
Bai Ling nodded vigorously, then shook his head again.
Huang Chongde smiled, "Do you want to tell, or don't you want to tell?" β
"I said that I definitely wanted to say it to the emperor, but I won't let my father-in-law take the risk for me, let alone let my father-in-law get involved." Bai Ling said softly, "The reason why my brother wants to fight those knives is to prove that the current medicine in the Tai Hospital is poisonous, as long as he can be given this opportunity, Jiang San's planting and blame will be self-defeating." β
Huang Chongde nodded thoughtfully.
"The bell must be tied to the bell." Bai Ling said softly, "I only need my father-in-law to preface someone for me in the emperor." β
