Chapter 143: The Rouge Goose Breast and the West Chamber (26)
What did he mean by that? What Ning Lang's matter can end here at Governor Xu's Mansion. Bai Limu sent Ma Chao away, and looked at Bai Ze with some puzzlement: "What is the relationship between this Xu Prefect and Ning Lang?" Also, who is Ma Chao, and what will he do to Governor Xu?
"Ning Lang's death must have something to do with the one at the top, this person died, there must be an aftermath. Although this case is in the hands of Master Xin, in the final analysis, he is just a county order, an official the size of a sesame seed, and he can't get any better after this. Xu Zhifu, but it is okay to use. As for Governor Xu, nine times out of ten, he will not survive, but most of them will not kill openly, but will only assassinate, and the reason used for this is nothing more than guilt and suicide. As for who Ma Chao is? Obviously, he is the one at the top, but nominally he still obeys the words of the old father-in-law of the Xu Governor's Mansion and Mrs. Xu's father. ”
"This Ma Chao, so powerful?"
"It's quite powerful, after all, not everyone is good at double-faced." Bai Ze nodded and said, I don't know if he was really praising that Ma Chao, or cursing in the form of irony.
"What, what will happen to Mrs. Xu and her children?"
"Mrs. Xu's face was scratched by the cat spirit, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to be healed, and there will be some scars on this face. As for this little boy, the cat spirit has been removed, safe and sound, healthy and healthy. ”
"You know that's not what I'm asking." Bai Li stared at the thing on the ground that had just been knocked over by the cat spirit: "If Governor Xu is really dead, who should their mother and son rely on?" No matter how powerful the mother's family is, she can't always keep her daughter who is married. If this is an ordinary family, it is possible, the more this kind of high-ranking family, the more exquisite, the more fancy the discussion and vision of others. Mrs. Xu is to blame, but the child is innocent after all. ”
"Li'er wants to know?"
"Nonsense, I don't want to know why I'm asking you."
"Then I'll reveal a little bit of heaven to you." Bai Ze smiled sheepishly: "According to the arrangement above, Ma Chao should replace Prefect Xu as the new prefect here, and Mrs. Xu will become Mrs. Ma." Of course, Ma Chao didn't treat Mrs. Xu sincerely, marrying her was the meaning of the one above, and it was also to appease the old lady. ”
"Isn't that Mrs. Xu miserable?"
"Look at who you want to compare with, if you compare it with before, it's really a bit miserable. Because after marrying Ma Chao, she is equivalent to being confined, and she can't even get out of the yard where she lives until her children reach adulthood. As for other aspects, Ma Chao has never been treated badly, the food and clothing are the best, and for that child, he has also fulfilled the responsibility of being a stepfather. ”
"It's really not that miserable, at least it's much better than Qiaoqiao's mother and son."
"Li'er, do you want to know what Ma Chao's ending is?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's going to be better." Thinking of the smile on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, Bai Li felt in his heart, "Compared to Governor Xu, he is not a good person." ”
"If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again. This person, if he cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, he will be ruthless. But if he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he would have repaid his grievances, and the son of Xu Zhifu was still more like his own biological father. ”
"So......" Bai Li didn't say the second half of the sentence, but he already understood it in his heart.
This Ma Chao, in front of Xu Xiaogongzi, calculated the Xu Governor's Mansion, and forcibly married Mrs. Xu, and imprisoned Mrs. Xu, this child, nine times out of ten, will grow up in hatred. When the wings are full, it is also logical to get rid of Ma Chao. can think that the child just now will become such a person in the future, Bai Li is still inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart.
got the five hundred taels of silver from Ma Chao's hand, Bai Ze didn't think about it, and directly stuffed all the silver to Bai Ze. Five hundred taels, a heavy small box, tired and white-glazed hands hurt. Fortunately, they still have carriages.
"Where are we going to find my master? Otherwise, you can also calculate where my master's greedy and greedy old guy is hiding. ”
"It's not difficult to calculate, but the difficult thing is that your master has long legs, and I can figure out where he is now, but before we can find it, he will change places again. I'm a fortune teller, and your master knows this very well. Since he asked Ma Chao to bring you and me to this Liyang City, it made it clear that he was not afraid that I would use the method of calculation to find him. To be more clear, he wants us to look for him slowly according to the little clues he left us, and if I really count him, he will run away immediately, and he will not stay where he is at all waiting for us to find him. Li'er, think about it for yourself, is this still interesting? ”
"It's boring." Bai Li wrinkled: "Then what are we going to do now?" ”
"Of course, I'm going to eat and drink, five hundred taels, enough for us to eat and drink for a while." Bai Ze jumped into the carriage: "Let's go, I'll take you to taste the best rouge goose breast in Liyang City." ”
The carriage seemed to be at the end of its life, and it was walking with a clatter, and just when Bai Li couldn't help but want to go down to the ground and walk by himself, he heard Bai Ze say: "It's here, it's here." ”
When I lifted the curtain, I saw an abandoned house.
"The best rouge goose breast in Liyang City is here?" Bai Li looked at the dilapidated house in front of him: "Bai Ze, white liar, do you think that my attitude towards you is a little better, you will make fun of me." Is this like a place where there can be rouge goose breast? Is this like a place that costs five hundred taels of silver? ”
"It doesn't take five hundred taels, at most five taels." Bai Ze stretched out five fingers: "It's not easy for me to make a lot of money, Li'er, you have to help me manage my money, you can't spend it so casually." No matter how good the rouge goose breast is, it's not worth five hundred taels of silver. ”
"White liar, if you don't talk to me, I'll ask you, is there a rouge goose breast in this broken house?" After Bai Li finished asking, he felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his neck.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and when she turned around, she saw a female ghost in white floating above her, looking at her with a faint gaze.
"Is my house very shabby? I think it's good, it's not as tattered as you say! Seeing Bai Li turn around, the female ghost hugged her arm and asked her, "Do you like to eat rouge goose breast?" ”
"I don't like it!" Bai Li rolled her eyes and turned around: "Even if I used to like it, I don't like it now." ”
"It's not good for the girl's half-heartedness." The female ghost floated in front of the white glass and made a very cute look: "My favorite thing to eat is rouge goose breast, especially the one made in Qingyutang." Unfortunately, after I died, no one bought it for me. Later, I thought that instead of waiting for someone to buy it for me, I should learn to do it myself. Don't say it, this hard work pays off, the rouge goose breast I made is even better than the one I made in Qingyutang. How, would you like to try it? ”
