Chapter 47: The Forces Behind the Scam

With her words, Chu Bai almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

Thankfully, he drank less.

He looked up in great trepidation and looked left and right at the woman in front of him. Ordinary looks, 17/18 years old, this ...... How can it feel so wrong?

Xingchen smiled.

"I know the personality and temper of my head of the family best, and as soon as I came back today, I felt that something was wrong, and then I asked him tentatively, but he looked stupid. More or less, I can guess that something is wrong, so I was not too surprised when I heard what Master Chu said. ”

"Oh, I see."

Chu Bai suddenly realized, and then sorted out his mood a little, and then put his thoughts back to what he had done before. He pondered for a moment and asked Xingchen, "Do you want to save your master?" ”

Xingchen nodded.

"Naturally, I want to save it."

Her answer made Chu Bai nod in satisfaction, and then continued: "Then you listen to me, let's take it step by step." ”

"Huh?" Xingchen was a little confused, not knowing what he meant step by step. Chu Bai hurriedly explained: "There are a lot of forces involved in this scam, and if you want to uproot it, you need some means. ”

As soon as he said this, Xingchen understood.

It seems that the forces behind this scam must not be foreign bandits. She was silent and motioned to Chu Bai to continue with her eyes.

Chu Bai continued: "The scam came from the Wang family, but it was obviously not done by the main owner of the Wang family, and we have the object of suspicion, but ...... There is not enough evidence right now. ”

Xingchen nodded, and then very wittily picked out two words from this sentence: "We? ”

As soon as she said this, Chu Bai's smile immediately became a little embarrassed, and he glanced at the woman in front of him, but his heart couldn't help but rise. This Xiao Shi is really not simple.

However, it doesn't hurt if it's not simple. He opened his mouth to explain: "I told the girl before that I am a guest of the Chu family, and when I just said we, I naturally also refer to the Chu family. ”

His eyes were not the same as Fang Cai's downfall, Xingchen smiled and nodded. I don't want to, and I don't need to expose his lies. Following his words and thinking about it, she asked, "Then what do you need me to do?" ”

The heart that he was carrying was finally put down, and Chu Bai even glanced at Xingchen with some gratitude, grateful that she didn't ask anything more, otherwise he might not really be able to go back.

When I think about it, I feel that I am really clumsy in lying, and I don't know if I have been seen to be seen. Chu Bai pondered like this, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It's hard to put it into words, it's even more uncomfortable.

He glanced at the stars in front of him, went through the original plan in his mind, and thought about it again, and then spoke again: "Originally, I planned to let you go out of the palace to report to the official, and those liars have already lined up between your mansion and the official mansion to watch, if they see you walking towards the official mansion, they will definitely not allow you, so that following their trajectory may find out the real controller behind the scenes." ”

Xingchen nodded.

"It's indeed a good way, but if they kill them directly, won't my little life be explained in vain?"

Her words were right.

Chu Bai nodded.

"So it was the original plan, the origin of your head of the family is unknown, but the power is not small, originally thinking that his personal officer, even a woman should not be powerless. See you today...... Hmmm......"

He paused, pondering his words.

"The girl must not know martial arts, right?"

Xingchen nodded.

"My Chu family is not a careless person who cares about human life, and this situation will definitely not let the girl take risks."

What he said was sincere, and Xingchen smiled.

"I have a way to try."

Chu Bai was puzzled.

"I got acquainted with a teahouse boy in the afternoon, and he is also a victim of a scam, is it reasonable if I go to him and report to the police?"

Chu Bai nodded. "Reasonable."

Xingchen continued: "Besides, I don't know kung fu, but Gongzi will, if the situation is urgent, Gongzi will escape alone regardless of my safety?" ”

Chu Bai smiled and shook his head: "Don't say that you are a woman, you are a man who generally does not know martial arts, and in times of crisis, I will also let him go first." The head of the family often said that the ratio of responsibility and ability matches each other, and if I have a body of martial arts but hide behind a weak person, it will be shameless. ”

Xingchen nodded, although the person in front of her had not met for a long time, and what he said to her might not be true, she could see that the person in front of her was not one of those shameless villains. With such a good eyesight cultivated by years of court life, she is still very confident.

So she poured Chu Bai a glass of water and said yes.

"Childe's personality is upright, I don't go around in circles, I mean, you pretend to be the teahouse, I'll go to you, let's go to report to the official, if you meet someone who is blocking on the way, we will flee if we rob our lives, and we will stay if we rob money. Is that possible? ”

Chu Bai thought about it, nodded, but shook his head again, and there was some unbearability in his eyes when he looked at Xingchen.

"Your idea is naturally good for me, but you are a woman, and you don't have martial arts, even if I have the heart to protect you like this, I can't say if it will hurt you, and you are really dangerous."

He's right.

Xingchen nodded very approvingly, and then felt that Chu Bai was a good person. She originally thought that he would ask such a question, and she had thought of an answer in advance, but at the moment she was a little hesitant, and she didn't want to use the previous clichΓ© to reply to such a person who would sincerely consider others.

She thought for a moment and said, "My head ......" She paused, and the image that now felt a little unreal flashed in her mind, and Feng Mian on the city wall covered her head with his clothes that day, and whispered to her not to listen. And in the Zichen Palace, she clearly remembered that look, looking at her to beg the eyes of the man who watched her slowly fall to the ground.

She didn't know how to describe that feeling, and she was scared to face it. Even sometimes she felt that all this was her own thoughts, and Feng Mian was just using her to accomplish something from beginning to end, as he himself said.

But what is it? Was that after she fell unconscious?

She didn't know, and she couldn't tell.

She sighed lightly and opened her mouth to explain to Chu Bai: "The head of the family is kind to me, even if I really want to sacrifice my life, I should save him." ”

Her tone was not heavy, but it was heartfelt, and her emotions were quite mixed.

This is complicated, even Chu Bai can see it, so he looked at the stars left and right a few times, and then couldn't help asking, "Do you like your family master?" ”

His question was shattering. The stars will shake their hands like a rattle. "No, no, no, no!" She hurriedly said: "It's not what you think, it's really a grace, a life-saving grace, but ......"

She hesitated. "Hey, forget it, I'll talk to you when I think it through later."

Chu Bai smiled, he was not originally a person who liked to explore people's privacy, so he didn't care much, just smiled and waved his hand.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't say it."
