While Ning Xiaochuan was thinking about it, Mrs. Bai also noticed that Ning Xiaochuan's eyes had been staring at the scar on the back of her hand, so she subconsciously retracted her hand into her sleeve.

This move also made Ning Xiaochuan aware of his gaffe, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry madam, the junior took the liberty to ask, the scar on your hand ......"

"Ahem...... ahem" Hearing Ning Xiaochuan's words, Cheng Hao hurriedly coughed twice, "As a junior, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, it's rude." ”

"Sir, I'm sorry, I just think that this scar of Madame seems to have seen it there......" Ning Xiaochuan frowned and said.

Hearing this, Madame Bai was slightly stunned, then looked at Ning Xiaochuan with slightly hopeful eyes, and after being entangled for a long time, she slowly stretched out her right hand, the scar on it was extremely dazzling, and it was an obvious sword wound.

"Have you ever seen this wound?" Madame Bai said a little anxiously.

Cheng Hao next to him was a little speechless, looked at Ning Yan, Ning Xiaochuan looked at the scar carefully, this is a sword wound, a sword wound!

Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in Ning Xiaochuan's mind, it was the old man he saw in prison when he was imprisoned by Guan Zhongxian when he was in the prison of the Criminal Department when he designed to leave Yindu.

The old man also happened to have such a scar on the back of his hand, yes, it was exactly the same, it was a sword wound.

"Madam, please tell me more about the origin of this scar." Ning Xiaochuan said anxiously.

Madame Bai bowed slightly, first looked out, and then shouted in a deep voice, "Someone." ”

Soon, the maid outside the door pushed open the door and walked over slowly, arching her hand at Madame Bai, "Madam." ”

"You go and inform the kitchen, prepare dinner, and I'm going to entertain Mr. Cheng tonight." Madame White commanded.

The maid replied respectfully, "Yes, ma'am." ”

After the maid retreated, Mrs. Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "About this scar, I can only tell you and Mr. Cheng, except for you, I can't trust the people in this mansion." ”

Ning Xiaochuan gasped, what did this Mrs. Bai go through, no one in his family could believe it, judging from the situation when Mrs. Bai opened the maid outside the door just now, all this did not seem to be fake, at this time, Ning Xiaochuan had a slightly bold guess in his heart.

Mrs. Bai said slowly, "When my old man was young, it can be said that he really regarded Yangzhou as more important than himself, he was just appreciated by the prince not long ago, and he was in charge of Yangzhou's finance and taxation as the chief bookkeeper of Yangzhou.

As soon as the old man of my family took office, he started with finance and taxation, and found out many clues at a check, which offended many people, and on the eve of the Spring Festival, on the way we were about to visit relatives in the countryside, we met a group of masked killers. ”

Mrs. Bai shook her head helplessly, she still remembers the picture at that time, "At that time, in order to protect us, the dozen or so guards around me were all gone, and the scar on my hand was left at that time." ”

"So that's the case, Lord Bai is dedicated to the people and is not afraid of the powerful, which is really admirable." Ning Xiaochuan said with emotion.

"You said you had seen this scar, but really?" Madame Bai asked again.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded heavily, "That's true, and it's in Yindu." ”

Hearing the word Yindu, Mrs. Bai was a little out of shape for a while, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, "You...... Who are you? Mr. Cheng, he ...... He is not a disciple of science, and it is impossible for a disciple of science to have been to Yindu, let alone seen this scar. ”

At this point, Ning Xiaochuan no longer pretended, because he knew that this scar was likely to be the key to unlocking the situation in Yangzhou, and at this time, he needed Mrs. Bai to help him determine this guess in his heart, if it was true, it would be equivalent to understanding the truth of the overall situation in Yangzhou.

Cheng Hao looked at Ning Xiaochuan helplessly and waved his hand, "Madam, let him say this himself." ”

Ning Xiaochuan got up and arched his hand at Madame Bai, "Hello Madame Bai, the junior Ning Xiaochuan, from Yindu, is the son of Ning Zhi, the Duke of Liguo. ”

"Son of Liguo Gong Ning Zhi...... Madam Bai got up slowly, and then looked at Cheng Hao and Ning Xiaochuan with an incredible look, "What's going on?" Why is the son of Liguo Gong in Yangzhou? ”

"Madam, this matter is a long story, you just need to tell the juniors what the meaning of this scar is, please believe me, I am here for you and Mr. Bai this time, so that the people of Yangzhou can avoid war, so please be sure to tell them all." Ning Xiaochuan frowned.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai slowly bowed her head and pointed to the scar on the back of her hand, "Just after I returned home from injury, my husband Bai Xiangting Bai, after seeing the scar on my hand, felt guilty, so he also raised his sword and slashed a sword on the back of his hand, and the location is exactly here, in his words, that is, if you are blessed, you should share it, and if you are in trouble, you should share it." ”

Hearing this, Ning Xiaochuan was taken aback, and directly got up and arched his hand at Madame Bai, "What Madame said is the truth?" ”

"There is not a hint of falsehood." Madame Bai said firmly.

It's really a trick, but I didn't expect the sloppy old man I met in prison at the beginning...... It was actually Lord Bai Xiangtingbai, no wonder he refused to tell himself his real name at that time, so it was.

The guess in Ning Xiaochuan's heart was confirmed, the old man was imprisoned for three years, and Bai Xiangting has been in prison for three years since he came back from Yindu, and this time is also right, so the question is, if Bai Xiangting has been locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, then who is sitting in Langya at this moment?

Ning Xiaochuan's expression was extremely solemn, "Madam, if that's the case, then the one I saw in Yindu before was Lord Bai Xiangting Bai......

The story that Bai Xiangting told himself in the prison of the Criminal Department came to his mind, told him the origin of this scar, and said that he also had a good talent when he was young, hoping to help the world and be a good official who could benefit the people.

But he was victimized by the villain, and then he had this scar, and it was this scar that made him determined to eradicate these black sheep.

No wonder the old man didn't bring his name when he told him, and the name was exposed as soon as he said it, and it was from that time that Yangzhou began to rectify the family gate valve and make the so-called wealthy families who were lawless in Yangzhou completely disappear.

Everything is right, that old man is Bai Xiangting.

"Kid...... Have you really seen my old man, how is he now? Is it okay in Yindu? Madame Bai excitedly pulled Ning Yan's arm and said.

Looking at Madam Bai's red eyes, Ning Xiaochuan didn't feel good in his heart, so he could only say with relief, "Don't worry, Lord Bai is very good, he doesn't have any danger to his life." ”

At this time, Cheng Hao looked at Mrs. Bai's reaction, and couldn't help but understand something, got up and said, "Madam, if you say so, then the current Lord Bai ......"

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she burst into tears, and shook her head helplessly, "He...... I don't know who he is, anyway, he's not my old man at all. ”

"I see!" Cheng Hao was a little stunned, but it wasn't so strange when he thought about it carefully, after all, this Bai Xiangting's style of acting was very different from before, and he even had to meet with the prince.

"Three years ago, when he came back, I found that something was wrong, the style of acting was too different from before, and I was lukewarm, and I was even more impatient with the trivial matters at home.

I thought that he had suffered some grievances in Yindu, and he would vent when he went home, and he would be fine after a while, but I didn't expect that it was not like this at all...... "Madame Bai said helplessly.

……

Three years ago.

The originally clear sky suddenly began to rain, and Mrs. Bai, who was shopping, had to hurry home with the maid.

At the moment when Madame Bai returned to her room and pushed the door open, a completely strange man appeared in front of her, and this man was wearing the clothes of her father-in-law, Bai Xiangting, and on the table next to him, there was a small box, and next to the box was a mask similar to human skin.

This scene directly frightened Mrs. Bai shouted, and this shout was discovered by the man in an instant, only to see that the man stepped forward quickly, strangled Mrs. Bai's neck, covered Mrs. Bai's mouth, and prevented her from making a sound.

Hearing Mrs. Bai's shouting in the room, the personal maid hurriedly ran to the door and shouted worriedly, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

At this time, this strange man actually said in the same voice as Bai Xiangting, "It's okay, Madam accidentally bumped it, it's okay." ”

"The master is also here, okay, if it's okay, the slave will retreat." After hearing Bai Xiangting's voice, the maid left with peace of mind.

After the maid left, the man showed his true face of Lushan, only to see him pinching Mrs. Bai's neck, Mrs. Bai's face turned red, she rolled her eyes, and Mrs. Bai struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Madam, you'd better not make a sound, otherwise, if I pinch it gently, you won't see Lord Bai again." The man pressed to Madame Bai's ear and muttered in a low voice.

As soon as Madame Bai heard this, she instantly fell silent, tears flowed, but she no longer struggled, the man let go of his hand with great satisfaction, and Madame Bai directly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, "You...... Who the hell are you? What about my father-in-law, what have you done to him? ”

"Madam Bai, don't worry, Lord Bai is fine, but it's inconvenient to come back now, I'll take care of some things for him."

The man didn't care about Mrs. Bai on the ground, walked to the table by himself, picked up the human skin mask on the table, slowly put it on, and threw a letter to Mrs. Bai at the same time, "This is Lord Bai's letter, as long as you listen to me obediently, don't talk nonsense, don't do anything, I guarantee that your husband and wife will be reunited, otherwise, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Madame Bai opened the letter and saw that it was really Bai Xiangting's letter, and at the same time, the blood stains on the letter were particularly conspicuous.

Madam Bai shed tears in despair and stared at the man in front of her viciously, "If you do this, aren't you afraid of the prince and the court?" He is a Yangzhou pastor. ”

At this time, the man happened to put on a mask, turned his head, and Mrs. Bai was stunned, this ...... Isn't this his own confession? This...... How could this still be the case.

The man walked up to Mrs. Bai and helped Mrs. Bai, and said with a smile in Bai Xiangting's voice, "Madam, take care of the things that should be taken care of, don't worry about what shouldn't be taken care of, it's cold on the ground, hurry up, don't catch a cold." ”

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, there was a thunderstorm outside the window, and Madame Bai trembled suddenly, and so far, she has never stepped out of Baifu again.
