Mr. Bai looked at Qi with some pity, and said nothing more. He nodded and followed Qi Yunxi hurriedly away. Before he had time to ask about the matter, Tian Bo stepped forward and looked at them solemnly: "As soon as you two left, someone came back to report that Ding Cheng led a group of people to set fire to Shenjia Village last night, burning three houses and nearly killing people. He was caught by Captain Shen who happened to return to the village and sent to the authorities!"
Qi Yunxi closed his eyes.
really!
Qi Yunxi had already prepared for the worst, so when she heard the news, she didn't react much. She looked at Mr. Bai and went back to the study.
"There is no need to have any hope at all. Someone is indeed targeting us and is testing us step by step to force us into a trap." Mr. Bai quickly sorted out his thoughts. Seeing Qi Yunxi leaning back in the armchair with his eyes closed, he continued to analyze in a low voice: "If my guess is correct, it should be someone from the Song family."
"Why do you think so?" Qi Yunxi had been silent until he heard Mr. Bai say this, then he opened his eyes and stared at him sharply: "Why not someone else?"
"After much thought, the Song family is the most likely one, because after all, does that old fox Song Che really not know Xiao Heng's background? He was able to raise Xiao Heng, so we know he is very shrewd." Mr. Bai was also in a heavy mood: "We have been too obvious recently. If I am right, it should be when we were in the palace that we helped Princess Fenyang accomplish the matter of the Eleventh Princess, which attracted Xiao Heng's attention. I said it before, Xiao Heng is a very strong opponent..."
Qi Yunxi was impatient: "Don't say these bullshit to me now!"
She was a noble lady since childhood and was later raised by the queen. In fact, Qi Yunxi's pride was engraved in her bones, but the years in between also left her with many things, such as these vulgar insults.
Mr. Bai lowered his eyes: "For now, we should attack Wei to save Zhao."
"Speak clearly."
Mr. Bai was very patient. "It's either Xiao Heng or the Su family who are suspicious of us, but do they have other evidence? If they did, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to test us repeatedly using a corpse. In the final analysis, they hope that we will become confused, and when we are confused, it will be easier to reveal our flaws. So now, what we have to do is to divert their attention."
Qi Yunxi took a deep breath.
Mr. Bai knew that she had listened to what he said, so he gently reminded her: "What else in the capital right now is more important than Su Rong and Xiao Heng going to Yunnan to supervise the army?"
"Go ahead!" Qi Yunxi made the decision: "No matter what the cost, we must not let them continue investigating!"
Mr. Bai hummed.
Xu Chong was also very annoyed. He brought his son, who still needed someone to support him, into Shuntian Prefecture. The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was smiling, but he could not make a decision - because as soon as he entered the hall, Xu Chong saw Gao Ge Lao sitting at the head of the table.
His heart skipped a beat.
Gao Ping smiled slightly, and seeing Xu Chong's stunned expression, he slowly said, "Young Lord, do you look very surprised?"
Xu Chong felt bad, but he couldn't show his fear on his face, so he forced a smile and said, "Yes, such a small case actually requires you to come and try it in person? I really don't understand."
"How can it be a small case?" Gao Ping sighed to Xu Chong slowly: "Young Lord, you may have misunderstood. I asked you to come here not because of your son's murder, but because of your slave's murder." Mr. Bai looked at Qi with some pity, and said nothing more. He nodded and hurriedly followed Qi Yunxi away. Before he had time to ask about the matter before the sedan chair landed, Tian Bo stepped forward and looked at them solemnly: "As soon as you two left, someone came back to report that Ding Cheng led a group of people to set fire to Shenjia Village last night, burning three houses and almost killing people.
