Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Contradictions in the East China Sea in Beitang
"Although the person is temporarily out of danger, he is still in a coma, and I can't say when he will wake up. In the Yuntian Mansion, an elderly healer wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, turned to Beitang Xiaoren and said.
Hearing that his younger brother was free of worries, Beitang Xiaoren was overjoyed at first, but the words in the doctor's mouth immediately made his face full of sadness. After sending the doctor away, he immediately said to the officials and subordinates around him with a straight face: "Have you found out who did it?"
The officials behind Beitang Xiaoren looked at each other, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing.
"These people are too arrogant, they dare to do it in Yunzhou City, what are you Yunzhou City defenders doing, hundreds of people against a dozen, and let them leave calmly. Seeing that everyone behind him bowed their heads and remained silent, Beitang Xiaoren pointed to a general who was in charge of patrolling the city that night and said.
"The incident happened suddenly, and when the general at the end of the day found that Lord Xiaoming had been attacked, he immediately brought people to support. It's just that the other party moved too fast, and immediately evacuated when he saw us appear, and we didn't chase after us because we were worried about the safety of Lord Xiaoming and afraid that there would be an ambush. The general who patrolled the city saw that Beitang Xiaoren was accusing himself, and hurriedly explained.
"Fortunately, you showed up in time and saved my brother's life, otherwise they would all have been walking around without eating. I have three days for you to find out the origin of this group of men in black, and if there is no clue after three days, all military justice will be involved. After Beitang Xiaoren finished speaking to the officials behind him, he let them leave Yuntian Mansion.
After the officials left, Beitang Xiaoren called the entourage he had arranged in advance to monitor Chu Qiuci and asked, "On the night of the incident, was that Chu Qiuci in the mansion?"
"Second master, this Chu Qiuci has indeed been in the house and has never gone out on the night of the actual hair, but the third master has a habit, that is, he likes to eat some pastries in the second half of the night, this thing is generally done by the third master's personal maid Chun Tao, but it is this Chu Qiuci who went to the third master's room to put snacks that night. After hearing Beitang Xiaoren's question, the entourage hurriedly replied.
"Then who in the mansion knows about my brother's visit to Xueyuan Pavilion to meet friends?" Beitang Xiaoren then asked.
"Except for Chun Tao and me, only a few old housekeepers in the mansion know, but they have followed Lord Xiaotian for many years, so they shouldn't betray Lord Xiaotian," the attendant replied.
"Can Chun Tao be in the mansion that night?" asked Beitang Xiaoren continued.
"I asked the guards who were on duty that day. Chun Tao went out that night and didn't return until a long time after the third master's accident. The attendant replied.
After hearing the words of the entourage, Beitang Xiaoren immediately sent someone to control Chun Tao for interrogation, and after interrogation for a period of time, the officials in charge of interrogation did not get any useful information, so Beitang Xiaoren had to go to the torture room to interrogate Chun Tao in person.
"Say, why weren't you in the mansion on the night of my third brother's accident?" asked Beitang Xiaoren to Chun Tao, who had already been beaten.
At this time, Chun Tao had already been tortured and was not human, she couldn't have imagined that she just wanted to secretly go out of the house to watch a circus with her lover but was killed like this. In the face of the majestic Beitang Xiaoren, Chun Tao, who was tortured and only had half a life left, was already frightened to the point of being rational, so he had to keep kowtowing to Beitang Xiaoren to admit his mistakes, and Chun Tao did not answer Beitang Xiaoren's question at all.
After asking several times in a row, Beitang Xiaoren completely lost his patience, and after taking out the long knife in his hand and killing Chun Tao, he led people out of the torture room.
After leaving the torture room again, Beitang Xiaoren summoned the entourage who was in charge of monitoring Chu Qiuci again, and soon learned from the entourage that Chu Qiuci had nothing abnormal these days. As a result, Beitang Xiaoren had no choice but to order this entourage to continue to monitor Chu Qiuci in the Yuntian Mansion. At the same time, the news of the attack on Beitang Xiaoming was notified to Beitang Xiaotian, who was far away in the east, with a transmission note.
Beitang Xiaotian came to the East this time, firstly, to promote marriage with the Dongfang family and pull into the alliance between the two families, and secondly, to come to the East to rest and relax his tense nerves. Who knew that after only a few days of walking, he received the news of the attack on Beitang Xiaoming, so he had to hurry back to the north. Before leaving, in order to prevent his son from ruining his chance to enhance his relationship with Dongfang Chenhui because he was worried about this matter, Beitang Xiaotian did not tell Beitang Donghai about the attack on Beitang Xiaoming, but only said that there was an urgent matter to deal with in the north, so he left in a hurry.
Regarding Beitang Xiaotian's words, Beitang Donghai has no doubts, after all, his father is a famous careeraholic. And there is a sense of responsibility, no matter how big or small things in the north, everything must be done personally. It's normal for Beitang Xiaotian to not let go of the political affairs of the northern border and go back. It's not normal for him to travel in the East.
And for Beitang Donghai, Dongfang Chenhui took him to the mountains and rivers every day, which can be regarded as allowing him to appreciate the other side of Dayuan, allowing him to walk out of the ivory tower and completely enter the world. As for the ordinary life of these people in the east, Beitang Donghai felt novel and interesting, and he lingered for a while. It's just that the only thing that bothers him is his relationship with Dongfang Chenhui.
If you want to ask him if he hates Dongfang Chenhui, the answer is naturally no, this Dongfang Chenhui is not only good-looking, but also empathetic. She seems to be taking Beitang Donghai around during this time, but in fact, it is also to make Beitang Donghai more integrated into life, and while Beitang Donghai is integrated into life, she is also invisibly familiar with Dongfang Chenhui's character and hobbies, and the two of them are becoming more and more familiar with each other, if this familiarity becomes a habit, then the two will probably never be separated.
But at the same time that Beitang Donghai is becoming more and more accustomed to Dongfang Chenhui, another woman's name has always appeared in his heart, that is, Chu Qiuci, what kind of feelings he has for Chu Qiuci, he doesn't know, maybe it's because the gap between the two is too big, the high-ranking Beitang Donghai always likes to help Chu Qiuci, and this help not only gives him an indescribable sense of satisfaction, but also always makes him take the initiative in his relationship with Chu Qiuci. Let him be more open. And when facing Dongfang Chenhui, whose identity is almost or even slightly better than himself, he is always nervous, deliberately maintaining his demeanor and hiding his true nature.
In fact, in Dayuan, if a young cultivator of Beitang Donghai's status likes two female cultivators at the same time, it would be a big deal to marry them, but this kind of thing can't happen to Beitang Donghai. After all, the gap between the identities of Dongfang Chenhui and Chu Qiuci is too big, and Dongfang Chenhui, the pearl of the Dongfang family, who is the pearl of the Dongfang family, makes the whole Dayuan people fall for it, how can he tolerate serving a husband with an unidentified country girl. And Chu Qiuci has never clearly responded to Beitang Donghai's love. As for Beitang Tokai himself, who has been highly educated since he was a child, he also feels that such a decision is unfair to both girls, but it is difficult to choose him to choose. Therefore, in the days before the Peach Blossom Festival, although Beitang Donghai still traveled with Dongfang Chenhui, he was always preoccupied.
Beitang Donghai's state full of worries naturally will not hide from the intelligent Dongfang Chenhui. Just the day before the Peach Blossom Festival, not long after returning to Chaoyang Palace, Dongfang Chenhui suddenly turned around and grabbed Beitang Donghai's hands, stared at Beitang Donghai's eyes with a pair of watery eyes and said, "Donghai, do you have something to say to me?"
