Chapter 305 The Truth About Three Years Ago (1)
"No need."
Xie Xingyun put down the paper and pen in his hand, his eyes seemed to be falling on the paper, but also seemed to be out of focus.
Xiao Zheng was not surprised by this answer. According to Gu Yu's words, this girl named Pei was the only one who could prove that the love poison on Miss Bai Wu was not someone they deliberately planted.
But now that Miss Bai Wu has passed away, there is no point in bringing this Miss Pei back to Kyoto.
"yes."
Xiao Zheng turned around and left, but came back not long after. He stopped at the door, raised his hands to the man inside and said:
"Sir, there is news from the palace that the third son of the Bai family left Kyoto this time. Perhaps it has something to do with the person who assassinated Miss Bai Fifth at the Qionglin Banquet."
Xie Xingyun's eyes gradually darkened and became bottomless.
Xiao Zheng continued: "The young masters of the Bai family are really strange. After the fifth Miss Bai's accident, you sent me to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to help them investigate these things, but they avoided seeing you...
"
Such a fire was rare in my life, and almost destroyed most of the general's palace. If there was an evil person at work, there would probably be very little evidence left.
Wouldn't it be possible for more people to investigate things more clearly?
Not to mention it was him. Later, the young master visited the house in person and was only allowed to take a look at the tomb of Miss Bai Fifth.
Even until the case was finalized, several young masters of the Bai family worked together with Dali Temple to handle the case. The young master took him into the mansion regardless of the emperor's order, but all the evidence pointed to an accident.
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on the palace. I will make my own decisions regarding the Bai family."
"Yes, sir."
…
It's the summer solstice again, and the lotus flowers in the pond are stacked in layers, their branches and leaves are stretched out, and the fresh lotus leaves show a new green color.
A girl wearing a pearl-white dress was lying under a weeping willow on the shore, with catkins flying and falling on her closed eyes.
Luzhu held the account book and waited quietly for a while. After about half a quarter of an hour, the girl who took a nap yawned lazily, her eyelashes as long as butterfly wings fluttered gently, revealing a pair of clear and moist eyes.
eye.
She stood up, her figure was slim and fit, her eyebrows were too delicate and beautiful, and she suddenly felt a bit unreal. The halo of the sun around her hit her body, and every hair lifted by the wind was reflected clearly.
.
If the Bai Xianyu three years ago was already showing its allure, the current Bai Xianyu is more like a metamorphosed butterfly, fully grown, with all the greenness on its face fading away, and every inch of its fair skin is glowing.
It makes people feel like it is blasphemy just to look at it.
Lu Zhu has been looking at this face for more than ten years, but sometimes she is still amazed by the girl in front of her. She only hopes that their plan goes well. It would be a pity for someone as elegant as the young lady to live in a corner.
.
She should stand in a position that attracts everyone's attention, instead of living outside Linzhou City. Fortunately, three years have passed and they will leave soon.
"Miss, here are the profits of various branches in Fengshadu last month, as well as letters from the eldest and third young master."
The green beads are placed one by one.
Bai Xianyu changed her position on the beauty's couch and lay on her side. She hummed slightly. The smell of fresh grass and sunshine came in the air. She focused on a few places and then closed the door. "The sun is just right today.
Let’s go to Linzhou City for a walk. My eldest brother will leave for Kyoto the day after tomorrow, so it’s time for us to leave too.”
Bai Li paused for a moment, "Miss, when we go back this time, do we need to bring anyone from the living family with us?"
"There are 910 students in Kyoto, and they are all elites. There is no need. Besides, didn't your master take those children on a mission recently?" The girl kicked a stone into the pool, and there was a bang-dong sound, "Now
If you leave for Kyoto, wouldn't you be breaking your promise?"
Obviously he is not that old, but he speaks with maturity. Bai Li felt a little helpless and said, "Yes."
The past three years have been unexpectedly peaceful.
Bai Xianyu took Lv Zhu and Bai Li to the street together. They all dressed up in disguise. They have become accustomed to it year after year.
After casually entering a teahouse, Bai Xianyu ordered a few dishes and then listened to the people singing opera in his leisure time.
"Sir, you want fried peanuts and green sprout cake!"
"Thank you."
Looking out from the corridor of this tea house, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of the royal city. I stayed here for three years, and when it was time to say goodbye, I felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Have you heard? The Shengmen recently released two killer quotas, and now the number of people who signed up is already vying for them!"
"Shengmon, are you talking about the killer organization that has risen rapidly in recent years? They are actually recruiting people?"
Bai Li glanced at the people sitting next to him, and after judging that there was no danger, he started chewing peanuts.
"Compared to other assassin organizations, although the Shengmen is not the largest, it is the most strict in selecting people. It is said that the young master set the quota. The number of Shengmen has always been controlled at three thousand people, and these three thousand
The killers have almost conquered all the forces in the world, and to this day, no organization can shake their position."
"That's of course. Ordinary Jianghu organizations never think about the life and death of our people. As long as they collect money, they will be dead before they know it. But although Shengmen is a killer organization, it does not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
They didn't seem to be short of money. Most of the people they killed were those who were treacherous and evil. There were many people who were forced to go to them with nowhere to go, but they didn't take any money! Compared to those corrupt officials
, they prefer to seek survival!"
"Whenever someone dies, the sect will open up a quota, and those chosen from outside can only be the lowest killers. Do you know who the highest ones are?"
"I know! It is said that the names of those three people were personally given by the young master of the Shengmen, Yinchen, Yinsui, and Yinshou!"
"The two people in front are men, and the person behind is a woman, but she is more powerful than the men. Someone has seen her from a distance, and she looks like a little girl."
"These are just rumors. You are so ruthless and ruthless. How could it be a woman? There were rumors before that the young master of the living clan is a woman who doesn't know how to do martial arts? But you can tell with your butt that you don't know how to do martial arts.
How could a young woman have the ability to support such a large family?"
Hearing this, Bai Li and Lu Zhu looked at the girl who was lazily leaning on her seat. The latter raised her eyebrows at them and threw a peanut into her mouth.
Some rumors are not credible, but some rumors are somewhat true.
The speaker may not have thought that the young master of Shengmen is really a woman who does not know martial arts. Not only does she not know martial arts, but she is also a young girl who has no fingers in the spring water. In addition to being able to use a bow, a slightly heavier sword and
It's difficult to swing the knife.
And what they probably didn't expect the most was that the young master of the Shengmen was sitting next to them. The three killers they now said were the most powerful had almost starved to death on the roadside.
"By the way, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother are all alone now. You ask Ah Chen, Ah Sui and Ah Yi to follow us back to Kyoto. There are people protecting the eldest brother, so let the three of them protect one," Bai Xianyu pondered.
After a moment, he thought of the woman next to the third brother and the friend of the second brother he met in Liangzhou, and said thoughtfully: "Let Achen protect the second brother, Asui protect the third brother, and Ayi protect the fourth brother."
."
"Yes, I will make arrangements when I get back."
"Um."
After listening to the song for a while, they were about to leave for Ji Shuang's mansion. Bai Xianyu prepared some gifts. She was able to stay here for three years, not only because of Ji Shuang's help, but also without King Pingnan.
If you help secretly, things will be much more complicated.
When Ji Shuang received Ji Shuang's reply, he asked her if she could tell her grandfather. Bai Xianyu didn't hesitate long before asking her to tell King Pingnan. King Pingnan's governance was strict and careful, and the access to the territory was even more strict.
It's even more stringent than King Nanzhao's. If they sneak in secretly, they will be discovered sooner or later.
Instead of hiding in Tibet, it is better to seek the advice of King Pingnan.
The most important thing is that she trusts Ji Shuang. Ji Shuang never made a decision that was harmful to her in her last life, and she believes that it will be the same in this life.
Moreover, if she was discovered in the territory of King Pingnan, and King Pingnan was labeled as a deceiver, and it was discovered that she and Ji Shuang were collaborating to deceive, she would be sad and angry. At that time, she had also made two preparations. If King Pingnan did not agree,
She then tried to find a way to go to a place close to Ji Shuang, so that she could take action if something happened to her.
But soon Ji Shuang brought good news. He could develop a temperament like Ji Shuang. King Pingnan was also a temperamental person. Not only did he not blame Ji Shuang, but after asking him the whole story, he agreed and even
He said that if the Bai family is loyal and has no choice but to retreat, they can come to our royal city.
Bai Xianyu's heart was shocked. In the past, he was always chilled by the indifferent attitude of people who were officials in the same dynasty as his father after his father passed away. However, Prince Pingnan and his father had very little personal relationship, and he could do this. It really had to happen.
Moved by it.
Now that I have to leave, I should go and visit.
They could not enter the palace directly, so they had to look for Ji Shuang first. The people in Ji Shuang's house had already recognized them, and after greeting them, they took them to the main hall.
As she walked to the main courtyard, a woman's profile suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xianyu's eyes. She was slightly startled and said silently, Pei Ying?
