Chapter 21: Clues
Thinking of this, Shiraki hurriedly asked about the contents of the remaining two letters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qin Yan touched his chest, took out the piece of red jade that fell on his neck, and said: "A month later, he sent me a second letter, which said that what he did was a bit troublesome and that it would have taken longer, but I was not relieved that I was ready to flee back, and asked me to wait for him to go back, and said in the letter that he had prepared a gift for me." ”
Could it be the red jade left by Shen Liang? Bai Mu couldn't help but guess, it seemed that this Shen Liang had plans to leave, but he was guessed in advance by the mysterious person.
Qin Yan touched the red jade, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but there were tears rolling in his eyes, "All I was looking forward to was that Shen Liang would come back safely, but a few days later, I received his third letter. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yan didn't hold back his tears after all, and cried bitterly, Shi Kai on the side hurriedly hugged Qin Yan and comforted him, "Things have passed, look away." ”
At this time, Bai Mu guessed that the third letter was likely to be related to the identity of the mysterious person, Shen Liang should know that he could not easily escape from the palm of the mysterious person, and the deeds were revealed and he knew that his life was difficult to protect, so he sent the third letter so urgently.
Seeing that Qin Yan's mood in front of him had improved, Bai Mu hurriedly asked about the content of his third letter, "Miss Qin Yan, what is written in the third letter that makes you so sad?"
Qin Yan put the red jade back in his clothes, took a deep breath, and said: "When I received the third letter, I thought that Shen Liang was going to come back, and I was very happy, but when I opened the third letter, it was written that he wanted to escape back, but he found out some previous things, and he wanted me to find out, if he didn't go after a month, he asked me not to wait for him." I thought I'd have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect that after that... Woooooooo ”
Shi Kai saw Qin Yan crying again, and hurriedly hugged Qin Yan to comfort him.
"What happened before?" Shiraki asked.
Qin Yan wiped away his tears, forcibly endured his grief and said, "It's about my family." Then he began to cry again.
Qin Yan actually had a relationship with the mysterious person, and Bai Mu was even more puzzled.
At this time, Shi Kai said: "Hey, speaking of Qin Yan, after she is also a famous family, I never thought that she would end up in such a situation." ”
"Saying so ... Bai Mu suddenly thought that Hua Feihong seemed to have mentioned to him that the mysterious person was likely to be related to the official government, and this Qin Yan was also an official eunuch, so to speak, the real target of the mysterious person was not Ying Tianshun?
No, the more Bai Mu thought about it, the more confused he felt, there were too few clues he knew now, and his thoughts were like countless vines entangled, and he was extremely confused.
Bai Mu said earnestly: "Miss Qin Yan, can you tell me about the situation at that time, maybe I can help you." ”
When Qin Yan heard the word help, he raised his head and looked at Bai Mu, feeling as if he had seen Shen Liang, and Shen Liang had said the same thing to him at the beginning, but...
Qin Yan took a deep breath and said tremblingly: "My father is Qin Jian, the servant of the Ministry who was investigated and dismissed by the imperial court five years ago. I think my father has been impartial in law enforcement all his life and dedicated to serving the imperial court, but he was framed for rebellion and believed that my father had something to do with the rebels twenty years ago. Alas, my father, as a servant of the ministry, is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, and transfer of officials, which of the large and small officials in the court has nothing to do with my father?"
Twenty years ago, a rebellion?
Bai Mu has heard people say that twenty years ago, someone rebelled, but they were finally suppressed, and the rebels were even connected to the nine clans. If it was true, as she said, that her father was framed for what happened twenty years ago, then the remnants of the rebels at that time still survived?
In fact, Shi Kai also had a big question at this time. However, what he doubted was not twenty years ago, but Shiraki in front of him.
Shi Kai felt more and more that Bai Mu's appearance was not just to be a perfume master of the Sky Eagle Gang.
Bai Mu, as the owner of the Sky Eagle Gang, should be for the sake of the Sky Eagle Gang, and after the bloody case in the rivers and lakes has passed, he should help the Sky Eagle Gang recover its vitality. But now Bai Mu is suspicious of the bloody case in the rivers and lakes. The matter of the Jianghu bloody case was handled by Bai Mu himself, how could he still have doubts?
Shi Kai quietly observed Bai Mu's demeanor and did not speak.
Qin Yan, who was crying, saw Bai Mu, Shi Kai and the others listened to their silence with solemn expressions, thinking that they had said the wrong thing, so they quickly put away their crying, pursed their mouths, made tea and said, "Let's drink some tea first, that... Am I saying the wrong thing? ”
Shi Kai felt lovely when he saw Qin Yan in his arms, and comforted: "No, you didn't say anything wrong, what you said is very important to me." ”
Qin Yan looked at Shi Kai with wide eyes and puzzled, but Shi Kai didn't make a sound.
At this time, Bai Mu said: "I think there are many things worth exploring about Shen Liang's affairs. Presumably Shen Liang has a deep affection for you, but he gave up the opportunity to escape and went to check some previous matters, then he is likely to have discovered some ulterior secrets. ”
"That's right! We must find out what happened to Hou Shen Liang. Bai Mu also felt that Shi Kai was slightly the same as what he saw at this time, and said: "If it is really about the imperial court, I will go to Huanmen Road to investigate." Speaking of the official mansion, Bai Mu remembered Hua Feihong.
Shi Kai saw that Bai Mu was in such a hurry to find out at this time, and he became more and more puzzled in his heart, walking the rivers and lakes has always been better than less than one thing, but Bai Mu took the things that did not belong to him on himself, Shi Kai said tentatively: "If you want to investigate Shen Liang's affairs, I have a shortcut." There is a forest behind Jinbu Villa, there is a small river in the forest, and you can reach the bottom of the cliff where Shen Liang jumped off the cliff that day by following the river downstream. ”
"Oh, really there's a way to get to the bottom of the cliff?"
"It's just a bumpy and dangerous journey, and it takes the cooperation of two people to get there. ”
At this time, Qin Yan couldn't help but stand up, his eyes flashing: "I'm going, I want to see Shen Liang for the last time." ”
Shi Kai hurriedly calmed Qin Yan: "Which road is extremely bumpy, I will go with Brother Bai, you can wait in the villa." ”
When Bai Mu heard Shi Kai offer to go to the bottom of the cliff together, hope suddenly rose in his heart, and he comforted Qin Yan together: "Miss Qin Yan, your current identity needs to be kept secret, it is safer to stay in the villa, you can rest assured, Shi Kai and I will definitely help you find Shen Liang." ”
Qin Yan also knew that she was a weak woman, and if she insisted on going together, it would become a burden, so she listened to the words of the two, got up and thanked: "Qin Yan has thanked the two of you first. ”
Shi Kai hurriedly helped Qin Yan up, and said gently: "You rest in the villa, and after noon, I will go to the bottom of the cliff with Bai Mu to investigate." ”
