Chapter 16: Suicide in Fear of Crime?
Bai Yuncheng was packing up in the study when he heard footsteps and turned around to see Bai Yunqian.
"Grandpa, what are you up to?"
"Pack some things, girl, grandpa is going out."
Bai Yunqian was very surprised: "Go out? Where are you going? β
"Early this day, the emperor received a recital, saying that it was a disaster in Luzhou, whether the disaster was serious or not, whether it should be reduced or exempted, whether it was necessary to allocate funds and release grain, these must be seen before it can be decided."
Bai Yunqian frowned: "But aren't these reported by the prefect of Luzhou, and the household department sent someone over?" They are in charge of the money and food, how can they let such an old man go? β
Bai Yuncheng touched his beard, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Yo, do you still know this?" Haha, that's true, but this time ......"
He sighed slightly: "Luozhou is a rich land, and if it is affected, it will be very small, and it will directly affect the treasury, so the emperor is not at ease, let me take a look." Ay? I said you girl, you look down on your grandfather, think I'm old, don't you? β
Bai Yunqian hurriedly coaxed him: "No, of course not, even if my grandfather is old, he can also aim for thousands of miles, how can others compare?" My granddaughter is just worried that you are working too hard, why don't I go with you? β
Bai Yuncheng was coaxed by her and smiled: "Nonsense, I'm going to run an errand, not to play, how can I take you?" You have to be good in the house, if you have any grievances, wait for grandpa to come back, understand? β
"Understood," Bai Yunqian's heart was astringent and warm, "You clean up first, and your granddaughter will also go and prepare something for you." β
She ran away with a puff of smoke, and Bai Yuncheng shouted, "I haven't finished yet!" β
Not long after, Bai Yunqian came back with his baggage: "Grandpa, this is something I prepared for you, you must bring it." β
"Okay, good," Bai Yuncheng didn't open it and put it away carefully.
"When I went to the Prince's Mansion today, did I meet Mrs. Wang?"
"Yes, Mrs. Wang likes me, and said let me go to her house to play."
"That's good, my granddaughter, everyone loves you," Bai Yuncheng praised unceremoniously.
"Grandpa, Mrs. Wang is very powerful, and the pure concubines are very respectful to her."
"That's natural," Bai Yuncheng said, "The former Taishi is the former emperor's classmate, or the teacher of several princes, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s in the world, and he is an example of the literati. β
Bai Yunqian slowly opened his eyes wide, and said in his heart No wonder, I see.
"Concubine Chun is the biological mother of the prince, so she naturally wants to help the prince, how dare she be disrespectful to the old lady?" Bai Yuncheng snorted lightly, "It's not ......"
"But what?"
"But," Bai Yuncheng knocked on her head, "you little girl, you don't need to inquire about these things. β
Bai Yunqian covered his head and smiled, but secretly began to think in his heart.
"By the way, something went wrong in the Lin family's pharmacy, don't go there for shopping in the future."
Bai Yunqian naturally knew about this, but she didn't plan to tell Bai Yuncheng for the time being, so as not to make him angry and worried about it.
"The father and son of the Lin family are too much, but it can be regarded as retribution, they haven't been imprisoned yet, but they are dead."
Bai Yun's shallow eyes shrunk: "Dead?" β
"Yes, I heard that it was a suicide in fear of crime, and the specific Jingzhao Mansion is still investigating."
Suicide in fear of sin?
Lin Wenxuan doesn't seem to be a person with such courage, but I'm afraid that there is Dong Ye'er's handwriting here.
Heh, kill people and kill people?
It's really in line with Dong Yeer's vicious heart.
Bai Yuncheng was about to leave for Luzhou in the afternoon, and at noon Bai Yunqian personally went to the kitchen to make a few dishes.
Bai Yuncheng was surprised and delighted, sighed while eating, and when he got to the carriage, he didn't forget to tell Bai Yunqian.
Bai Yunqian obediently should all get down, and Baiyun City took the car out of the city.
Watching the carriage go away, Bai Yun sighed lightly: "It's impossible not to do something, but I will protect myself." β
As soon as she turned around, a doctor ran out of it with a medicine box in a panic.
"Miss Bai forgives her sins, and the villain has no intention of colliding."
"What's wrong?"
"The villain is incompetent, and the sick villain of the second lady is really powerless, so he will say goodbye."
Bai Yunqian raised his eyebrows and watched the doctor run away.
The second lady is not a good type, and she is not what she used to be.
How did the second lady assassinate Bai Yunqian, she wanted to return it little by little.
It was nearly evening, the second lady was irritable like a walking powder keg, the courtyard was silent, and the maid-in-law didn't dare to breathe.
She sent them all away, and hurried to the basement as soon as the hour came.
When she saw the figure inside, she hurriedly stepped forward: "You're here!" β
The man's voice was still hoarse: "What happened?" β
"Look at my face, I have found a lot of doctors, but they all said that they can't be cured, and I'm about to die!"
The second lady took off the veil on her face, and now not only her face, but also her neck became red and swollen, which was disgusting.
"This! This is ......" The man was startled, and his hoarse voice couldn't suppress the consternation, "You ......"
The second lady was frightened by him like this: "What the hell is this?" Don't scare me, you can cure it, you have a way, right? β
"Where have you been in the past two days? This is not a disease, this is a poison, and it is not an ordinary poison! β
The second lady was so frightened that she almost cried: "What? Poison? How is this possible? I've been in the house for the past two days, and I haven't been anywhere. β
The man shook his head: "Impossible, this impossible, this thing ......"
"Do you have a way to do it? Find a way! Otherwise, you don't want to get any more benefits from me. β
The man was silent for a moment, and his tone was heavy: "I can only suppress, not completely detoxify, just ......"
"Just what?" The second lady felt pain and numbness on her face, but she didn't dare to touch it, "No matter what, suppress it first, when my daughter comes back, she must have a way." β
The man smiled bitterly in his heart, I am afraid that the people who have a way in this world are no longer there.
"Okay," he said, taking out a pill and handing it to the second lady, "let's eat this." β
"This is detoxification?"
"No, it takes a while for the poison to be cured, and taking this medicine can relieve your pain."
The second lady no longer hesitated and swallowed it in one gulp.
"You lie down, close your eyes, I didn't say don't open them until you open them, don't move."
The second lady did as she was told, and the man's eyes flashed slightly, and he took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve, and there was a faint flash of black tentacles in it.
β¦β¦
At the same time, Bai Yunqian changed into a set of clothes and quietly went out with a baggage.
She drove lightly, got into a small alley, came to the door of the small courtyard, looked left and right to see no one, looked down and saw the lock on the courtyard door, took out a wire from the baggage, and poked it gently.
She dodged into the courtyard, completely unaware that someone was staring at her in the shadow at the mouth of the alley.
