Qin Feng followed closely, and waited until Master Bai Qi got on the sedan chair. He followed beside the sedan chair and escorted him all the way. When they returned to Master Bai Qi's house in Quanzhou, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Chong also rushed over and asked him nervously: "Are you okay?"
He did not go with Young Master Xiao. He was so nervous at home that he didn't know what to do. He finally waited until Qin Feng and the others came back.
"It's okay." Bai Qiye's voice came from the sedan chair. Qin Chong was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to open the curtain and helped Bai Qiye down: "Godfather, I was extremely worried."
Master Bai Qi looked at him, hummed gently, and rubbed his brows: "Fortunately, the young master is sensible and nothing happened. Now, we should worry about how to solve the difficulties in front of us. Otherwise, even if the young master is willing to forgive us this time, we will still be unable to escape the disaster next time."
As they were talking, Qin Feng signaled for the sedan chair to be carried away. The three of them entered the study room, and Qin Feng asked first: "Godfather, what should we do?"
Master Bai Qi raised his eyes and looked at him: "What do you think we should do?"
Qin Feng thought for a while, a little hesitant: "Just as you said, godfather, he is raised in Xu Fengqing's house. If he is not punished, Shen Hai will not be able to calm down. But... people are greedy for life. Xu Fengqing is the governor of a place after all. How can he wait to die so easily?"
It is probably impossible to persuade Xu Fengqing to take the initiative to take responsibility and take on this matter alone.
But besides this, is there any other way
After all, Xu Fengqing is the local governor. We can't really kill him, right
Qin Feng could think of this problem, so could Bai Qiye. In fact, he had already thought of a solution before this. When Qin Feng mentioned it, he said, "As you said, people are afraid of death and it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Xu Fengqing is no exception. If he knew our plan, I'm afraid he would be the first to jump up and tear things apart."
The hint is obvious enough.
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment without saying anything. Qin Chong suddenly said, "Why not..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Qin Feng also nodded. At this point, it seemed that killing Xu Fengqing was the best solution.
Master Bai Qi smiled and shook his head: "No, no! How can a local governor be so active? Killing him will not leave any traces, and it will still cause trouble. It's better to let him die on his own."
Qin Feng and Qin Chong looked at each other and realized that Master Bai Qi had already made up his mind. They hurriedly bowed to Master Bai Qi and replied in unison: "Please give your orders, godfather."
Mr. Bai Qi waved his hand, and they both hurried forward a few steps.
On the other side of Liancheng, Xu Fengqing has been so anxious that he dared not close his eyes and sleep for several days. He tried to test Boss Duan's attitude, but Boss Duan didn't say anything at all, just asked him to hand over the person as soon as possible. But where can he get the person out
However, Boss Duan did not do anything else as Uncle Hai asked him to do except asking him to hand over the person, so he was unable to accurately judge how to deal with the matter. He was so anxious that several pimples appeared on his forehead, which hurt when touched.
Uncle Hai saw this and knew that Xu Fengqing still had illusions about Master Bai Qi, so he asked him directly, "Sir, did Master Bai Qi write back to you?"
Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. Before Xu Fengqing could reply, his confidant rushed in with a letter: "Master! An urgent letter from Quanzhou!"
Amitabha!
Xu Fengqing was almost crying with joy. He no longer cared about anything else. He took the letter, opened it and read it. Then the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He stared at the letter for a long time without moving.
Uncle Hai frowned and called him softly, but Xu Fengqing didn't react. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Uncle Hai in a daze, and opened his mouth: "Uncle Hai, Master Bai Qi said in the letter that he handled everything very well. He is still in the capital now, and asked me to keep my mouth shut. As for what will happen next, he will think of a way, so I don't have to worry."
Uncle Hai laughed sarcastically.
Xu Fengqing finally realized that everything Uncle Hai had said before was true.
Mr. Bai Qi was planning to put all the blame on him alone, so he had to keep him calm now, fearing that he might mess things up.
He was dazed, then suddenly became angry and picked up the letter, intending to tear it into pieces.
Uncle Hai grabbed his hand and said calmly, "Sir! Wait a moment!"
Seeing Xu Fengqing shaking with anger, he sighed, took the letter and read it, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed-----Mr. Bai Qi was being vague in the letter. Even when writing such a private letter, people were extremely cautious, fearing that they would let out a single word and be caught.
Xu Fengqing gnashed his teeth in hatred: "He is just trying to fool me!"
It was such a waste that he trusted Master Bai Qi so much and listened to Master Bai Qi's words, concealing the news of Shen Yaoniang's accident in Beijing and not daring to reveal it at all.
But now, Mr. Bai Qi has turned around and put all the responsibility on him, hoping to use him to solve the problem.
Uncle Hai also knew that he was extremely angry, but in the current situation, anger was useless. He waited until Xu Fengqing had vented his anger and calmed down before calmly shaking his head: "Sir, this is only secondary. What you should think about is that since he has to push you out as a scapegoat on Shen Hai's side, and he has to keep you stable here, then what does he want to do?"
What do you want to do
Xu Fengqing got goosebumps from Uncle Hai's question. His whole body ached and he couldn't move. He watched the man in front of him take a step back dejectedly, his back hitting the corner of the table. But he didn't care about that at all. He just shook his head in despair: "But they have all my evidence in their hands. I..."
"What's the worst possible outcome?" Uncle Hai said to him, "Are you really just waiting for Master Bai Qi to take action? In order to appease Shen Hai's anger, he will have to throw you out. If you wait until that time comes, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Xu Fengqing is not a fool. This matter has been delayed for so long, he certainly knows that the consequences are very serious.
But now, he covered his face with his hands in despair: "What else can I do? I have no way out now!"
He himself was not clean. He had done countless beheadings together with Master Bai Qi. If he confessed his crimes, he would not be able to escape death, and he would also implicate his clansmen.
And he had no way to start with Master Bai Qi.
Uncle Hai suddenly said at this time: "No, sir, you still have a way to go."
