Chapter 381: There may be spies in the cottage
As they walked, they came to another village, where everyone was busy collecting herbs, and they didn't bother but walked directly through the village to the mountain, where pavilions were built at intervals along the winding mountain road.
Sitting in the gazebo, you can see the view.
"Duan Xun, this place is a good place to live in seclusion, but we can't live here for a long time now," Bai Zhi likes it very much, it is quiet and peaceful, and time seems to stand still.
"Zhi'er, I also want to live in seclusion with you in such a place, at least there are not so many worries, but now I can't, even if I don't pursue some things, I still hold on to them!"
After being with him for so long, even if she didn't say it directly, Bai Zhi knew that something bad must have happened, so she asked him, "Did you find something?" β
Duan Xun looked at her with a complicated expression, this matter itself had little to do with her, and he didn't want to involve her.
"Zhi'er, do you remember when we met?" After thinking about it, it probably didn't hurt to talk to her so that she wouldn't worry.
"Well, of course I remember, I'm blind and lame, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would be ruined in this life, what? Do you want to say something to thank me? She looked at him jokingly.
"Heh, you're clever, what's the use of talking about it now? Anyway, I have repaid the favor with my personal promise," Duan Xun ridiculed her words.
Bai Zhi pursed her lips: "Obviously, it is also a kind of fate that the two of us can meet, but meeting in that way, it is another fate, you are blind and lame, and my legs are not convenient, if it weren't for my superb medical skills, I'm afraid the two of us would be wasted now!" "Fortunately, I met her, otherwise Duan Xun would have really died like this in his life.
"I told you before that I just want to live a secluded life with you and no longer ask about the world, but then because of some things that made me angry and wanted to take revenge, I suddenly changed my mind, didn't you doubt it?" She was always so innocent and harmless.
It was a little unbearable to deceive her, but at that time, she was so focused on business that telling her was tantamount to distracting him, and it also burdened her psychologically.
"Mmmm, I thought about it for a moment, it's just that the two of us are husband and wife, I don't think you should do anything bad behind my back, if you really want to tell me, even if I don't ask you, you will say, since that's the case, then why should I ask you if I'm bored?" Actually, she has no proof!
knew that he must be doing something behind her back, but people stayed by his side every day, and even if he had doubts, he was embarrassed to ask.
"You! I found that no one in this world is better at speaking than you, and you are all talking about good and bad things alone," Duan Xun really had no way to deal with her.
"Hey, hey, hey, then you don't tell the truth now, what is the reason? I always felt that you didn't come to this cottage because of herbs," she said with a serious face.
Duan Xun was a little interested when he saw her like this: "Oh? How so? β
Bai Zhi thought for a while and said: "Since you know that this mountain is full of herbs, and you think that after some investigation, then of course you also know that their herbs can't be sold, and you can use other methods to trade with them, and you don't need to risk yourself, so I always feel that you broke in with us, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives," Since the topic has been said, she doesn't hide it, what do you say.
"In the end, you are careful, yes, I do have something here, and I must enter this cottage, but it is related to the person who framed me, and there are people in this cottage who have connections with the imperial court, if you can find out......"
He didn't say anything more about the latter words, Bai Zhi was not the original Bai Zhi, and those words to her might make it difficult for him to sleep.
But Bai Zhi had already seen that he had something in his heart, so how could he hide it now? So he spoke: "Duan Xun, there is no one here, you and I should share the weal and worn, if there is anything, you just have to say, maybe I can share a little for you!" β
It's all said and done, even if he doesn't say it, she'll force him to speak.
Duan Xun knew her temper, and since it was difficult to stop at the beginning, it was better to confess to her directly, and it would be very convenient to act in the future: "Actually, the cottage suffered a catastrophe before, I suspect that there was a mole in the village, maybe you don't know, when I was framed and fell off the cliff, it was not long before this cottage was surrounded and suppressed, how can there be so many coincidences?" β
Suddenly she stood up: "You mean there are spies in this cottage, right?" β
"I haven't found out yet, and I can't make a conclusion now, but one thing can be concluded, Liuli Cottage is so big and has a large population, and it may not be easy for the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress it, but I haven't heard of this matter at all on my way to office, even if it is sudden, Liuli Mountain and Yibei are not far away, so I associate these two things together," he wanted to find out that person.
can frame him and encircle Liuli Mountain again, killing two birds with one stone, who will benefit in the end?
"Duan Xun, didn't you say that you were calculated by the lady in Dingbei Mansion? Could it be that he ...... again, "Originally, he was naΓ―ve, thinking that it was just his stepmother who saw him unpleasantly and wanted to find a chance to get rid of him."
In this way, the relationship can be complicated.
"But I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to find out, and it will take some time to figure it out for him from the beginning, right?" secretly raised soldiers behind her back, she didn't know at all, although she told her now, but her heart was not a good feeling.
"Zhi'er, this matter can be big or small, and the key is that the person who should be in this cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the emperor sends heavy troops to encircle and suppress, it is not an easy thing, you have also seen that there are still many villagers after the encirclement and suppression, which shows that this matter is done suddenly, plus I am in distress, and the person who can finally be happy is probably not only Mrs. Dingbei Houfu, because the extermination of mountain bandits has nothing to do with Mrs. Dingbei Hou."
She has no right to mobilize troops......
"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, since you have decided to investigate, and you have also found out some eyebrows, then I support you to investigate to the end, find out the person who harmed you, and have a good trial," Suddenly she had a chill down her spine, and she always felt that there was a black hand behind the scenes controlling all this.
"Could it be the emperor? He cuts you to the bridle, and he's very jealous of you, and it's easy to hurt you if he wants to," she could only think of so much now.
Duan Xun shook his head: "Although the emperor is jealous of me, I am still useful, so I was relegated to Yibei, just to recruit me back when it needs me in the future, so I will not be blackmailed behind my back." β
