The two clusters of light in Qiu Ying's eyes suddenly disappeared, and she was indescribably dejected: "I also want to be like Xiao Shi, how good it is."
Although Xiao Shi and others are dead, they will always live in her memory.
And although he is alive, he has become a stranger to her in this life.
He took two steps closer and said as intimately as in the past: "Seventeen, I have something to tell you." But the moment he approached her, a short dagger in his sleeve suddenly appeared, and the castration was exactly Bo Shiqi's heart: " You are so good to me, and I owe you what I owe you when I pay it back together in the underworld!"
Zhao Wu Jiu stared at Bai Shiqi with good eyes today, for fear that she would accidentally tear the wound again, he even paid special attention to Qiu Ying, in a hurry, he dodged in front of Bai Shiqi, and met Qiu Ying's desperate gaze, He was stabbed in the chest by him!
His Royal Highness King Zhou kicked out, Qiu Ying was kicked out, and fell heavily to the stage. He felt that his vertebrae were going to be out of place, and he had about a few broken ribs, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.
The sudden change shocked everyone.
Afterwards, Baihualou suddenly became confused.
A team of sergeants rushed in and violently suppressed Qiu Ying. In fact, even if violence was not used, he would not be able to get up for a while.
There were also several other teams who drove the Cao Gang to leave the table to gather together, and some people took the list and called the name according to the order. More Shu Changfeng rushed to the stage, worried about King Zhou's injury.
Bai Shiqi had already stood up, clutching Zhao Wu Jiu's bleeding wound in panic: "His Royal Highness, how are you? Where's Zhu Shoumei? Come on someone!"
Song Yuankai turned around anxiously: "How can this be good?"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qian Sai was kicked into the knee by the sergeant who rushed to the stage, and fell to his knees with a thud, Zhao Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Deputy Gang Master Qian, where are you going?"
Qian Sai's face was full of horror, and he had forgotten to defend himself.
Bai Shiqi was furious: "What time is it, you still care about him? Why don't you look at the wounds on your body?"
King Zhou blocked a knife for her. If the average girl would have been moved to cry, Pian Bai Shiqi would not be coquettish. Although he cared, his words had nothing to do with coquettishness.
It was embarrassing that King Zhou would find it extremely useful, and smiled to reassure her: "It doesn't matter, the wounds I have suffered on the battlefield before are much heavier than this!"
He was most afraid that the woman who would be attracted by a little injury would lose her inch of tears, and Jiao Didi could only be kept in her boudoir, unable to withstand a little wind and rain.
Qian Sai and his party members were all locked up on the spot, and Zhu Shoumei, who was accompanying him, was quickly invited in to help King Zhou deal with the wound.
Qiu Ying was kicked by King Zhou, and his internal injuries were not serious. When he was taken away, he tried his best to turn his head to look at Bai Shiqi on the stage.
Bai Shiqi was busy taking care of King Zhou, and he didn't even look at him. Seeing Zhu Shoumei's rudeness, he kept saying, "Shoumei, take it easy, take it easy, it hurts Your Highness."
If it wasn't for the fact that Zhou Wang blocked the sword for Bai Shiqi and was injured, he would not be willing to bandage it. However, Bai Shiqi's concerned appearance also made him feel quite uncomfortable. It touched his lonely temper, and he wanted to strike halfway: "If you think my hands are heavy, you can do it yourself."
Bai Shiqi is omnipotent, but he is not as good at dressing wounds as Zhu Shoumei. He can only accompany a smile: "Shoumei, don't be angry, I'm not... afraid that you will hurt Your Highness?"
The corners of Zhao Wu Jiu's lips were slightly curved, his eyes were comfortable, he didn't feel the pain from the wound at all, he just stared at Bai Shiqi and worked for him.
Halfway through the Cao Gang meeting, not only did the gang fail to discuss a charter, Qian Sai, Qiu Ying, and more than a dozen people were locked up, and the rest of the group chatted endlessly.
All those who were locked up were Qian Sai's confidants. I heard that the crime was colluding with water bandits, which made the others even more curious.
"The young gang leader and his brothers have been cleaning up the river for several years. I didn't expect that some people in the gang were linked with the water bandits. I feel sorry for Xiao Shi and the others. They were probably unprepared at the beginning, otherwise, how could they be in trouble?"
"Before, there were people who lobbied around, saying that the leader of the gang was a woman, and the implication was that they wanted to expel the leader of the gang. Qian Sai himself wanted to be the leader of the gang. Would you say that the leader's death is also a rumor? Or the leader of the gang? Does his death have anything to do with them?"
The death of Bai Zhenting was the news from Gaoyou, Song Yuankai hurriedly sent someone to confirm, but the brother who sent the message was nowhere to be seen, even Huang Youbi disappeared, there were many doubts, for the sake of safety, he also did not There is no need to re-select the gang leader.
Bai Gang leader has a hot personality, Song Deputy Gang leader is gentle and considerate, the two have cooperated perfectly for many years, and they have been smooth for many years.
Song Yuankai was deeply disturbed and kept sending people into the Bai family mansion, but it was Bai Shiqi who consoled him: "Uncle Song, Your Highness is not the type to take anger out. You don't have to worry about Qiu Ying's burdening the entire Cao Gang!"
Song Yuankai apologized to Zhao Wujiu repeatedly, only to be sent out by Bai Shiqiu.
Standing at the gate of Bai's house, avoiding everyone except Yu Shu and nephew, Song Yuankai said worriedly: "Seventeen, it is rumored that the gang leader has been killed, I sent someone to look for it, and there is no whereabouts so far. It's not groundless, what do you think about this?"
Bai Shiqi was recuperating from his injuries in Yancheng. He was in a coma for many days. He didn't know any news from the outside world. It was also because the Cao Gang civil strife had broken out, so Zhao Wu Jiu had no choice but to tell her.
According to Zhao Wujiu’s idea, with Bai Shiqi’s injury, it’s best to stay in Yancheng to slowly recover. Whether it is the whereabouts of Bai Gang’s leader or the Cao Gang’s civil strife, he will send someone to investigate and deal with it, but he can’t beat Bai Shiqi. To go his own way, he personally accompanied the labor.
His Royal Highness Zhou's original words were: "Anyway, it's time to investigate these officials in Suzhou House. I'll take you back along the way."
His "follow the road" was relatively smooth. He stepped into the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture. First, he didn't send troops to the government office, and secondly, he didn't take anyone to the Yandao Yamen. When he arrived at Baihualou, he stared at Bai Shiqi with good eyes throughout the whole process, but he didn't expect that he would lose his color.
Bai Shiqi had mixed feelings in his heart, but his face remained calm as usual, and he wanted to comfort Song Yuankai: "I already know about this matter, maybe... It will probably fall on Qiu Ying."
Bai Zhenting and Huang Youbi were recruited by her to Gaoyou to treat Qiu Ying. Now it is rumored that Bai Zhenting is dead and Huang Youbi is missing, but Qiu Ying appeared at the Cao Gang meeting intact, saying that this matter has nothing to do with Qiu Ying. She doesn't believe in death.
She blamed herself in her heart and sent Song Yuankai away. Only in a place where no one was there did she slump her shoulders.
Seeing Bai Shiqi coming back, Mrs. Su seemed to have found the backbone. She clung to her hand tightly, with tears in her eyes: "Seventeen, there are rumors that something has happened to your father. What's going on?"
Bai Shiqi held his mother's cold hand to comfort him: "Father just lost contact for a while. I have already sent someone to look for him. As long as you are fine, I will go to him now."
Su shi forced herself to sit up and urged her: "Go find it! I'm fine, leave me alone, go find your father!"
Bai Zhenting's group of concubines who were crying and grabbing the ground were shocked by the falling of Bai Shiqi, who wiped her tears and sent her out of the Su family's main house.
When the fourth lady Song heard the news and rushed over, Bai Shiqi had already left.
Zhener whispered: "Don't worry girl, I'll go back and ask Mr. Qiu."
Song Si Niangzi: "No need, since the young gang master is back, I will wait for him."
Zhou Wang Zhao Wujiu has a lot of capable people, and he has made great contributions to the spies scattered all over the two Huaihe Rivers. He found out the gangsters in the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang who colluded with the water bandits.
At the same time, Yu Ang and another imperial envoy, together with officials sent by the Ministry of Household, were still busy in Yancheng, checking the accounts of officials in Yandao.
In the Suzhou prison, Qiu Ying sat cross-legged on a pile of straw and waited for Bai Shiqi.
"why?"
Bai Shiqi didn't understand why he did this: "My father treated you well, he treated you like a son and nephew from a young age, and did his best to nurture you, why did you betray the Cao Gang and kill a few brothers Xiao Shi? My father also followed your way?"
Today, she can no longer deceive herself and say that Qiu Ying is innocent.
The people sent by King Zhou checked Qiu Ying's small courtyard and found a lot of bloodstains in it, but it was very strange that they did not track down Bai Zhenting's whereabouts. They only found the witnesses of the incident in Gaoyou that day. An old man was chased and rushed out of the alley and was taken away by the yamen who was patrolling the street. However, he sent someone to the county yamen to ask, but Ba Hongru, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, replied that there was no such thing and nothing. The old man who reported the case.
There's something weird about the whole thing.
Either there was a problem with the magistrate of Gaoyou, or there was a problem with the subordinate yamen, so Huang Youbi lost the news.
Qiu Ying sat cross-legged, and he didn't know if it was because he injured King Zhou, and he was beaten to pieces in half a day, and there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body.
Inside the dark cell, his eyes were like nocturnal beasts, glowing with an abnormal scorching light. He looked at Bai Shiqi through the cell door, and his voice was as soft as in the old days: "When I was young, People scolded wild breeds because my mother was in the flesh business. Even after she became a good person, she never won the forgiveness of others. Everywhere I went, people laughed at my origin, and even my dead father was taken as a joke. "
Bai Shiqi stood quietly, not understanding why he suddenly talked about old things.
"Then one day, deputy gang leader Qian appeared. He said that he was close to my father and brought a lot of food and clothing. He was very kind to me, just like my father. No, no, he was better than the father I remembered. More cordial. My father used to beat me during his lifetime."
"Afterwards, one day he told me something, the person I called Dad was not my own father. My father was the former leader of the former Cao Gang, Mo. I should not be named Qiu, but Mo. I will ask my mother. , My mother only cares about admiring the silk silk and satin sent by the deputy gang leader Qian, and indulges in the wine country every day, and she will die of drunkenness within two years."
"As soon as I saw you, Deputy Gang Leader Qian said that she was the daughter of the enemy, so I must find a way to avenge my biological father... But..."
Bai Shiqi went on for him: "But everyone has feelings. I grew up with you. If you are not bad, you start to hesitate?"
Qiu Ying took a deep breath and seemed to have summoned up a lot of courage before she dared to look back on the road she had traveled: "I later found out that I couldn't do anything to you, and Patriarch Bai wanted you and me to be married, and I even... I've been shaken, I've imagined how happy I would be after getting married with you. But... you and I have a revenge for killing my father, how can I marry the enemy's daughter?"
"So you killed Xiao Shi and the others?"
Bo Shiqi's mind was pounding, his hand was holding the prison door, his nails were digging deeply, and he said with difficulty: "I have a grudge against you, you can just come at me. Xiao Shi and the others are not only my arms, but also Your brother! How can you..." Her eyes were blood red, as if she had returned to the waters full of stumps and broken arms, and the shock when she first heard the bad news was unbearable.
Qiu Ying didn't seem to want to think about this episode again, and leaned against the corner with a self-deprecating smile and said, "I thought what Qian Sai said was true, but your father said that I couldn't be the son of Gang Master Mo at all! I have no doubts about Qian Sai. , but never thought that he just wanted to bury a chess piece next to your father who was so devoted to him!"
Bai Zhenting dared to act and act. Qiu Ying had been by his side for many years and knew his temperament. Since then, he became suspicious of Qian Sai. He personally went to investigate his mother's affairs back then, only to find out that the truth was as Bai Zhenting said, he could not be The son of the gang leader.
In the dirty cell, Qiu Ying stared at Bai Shiqi almost greedily, as if he wanted to engrave this man deeply in his heart.
He said, "He's been nice to you, isn't he? Willing to block the knife for you!"
Bai Shiqi: "Where's my father?"
That was the last dialogue between them. After years of entanglement, the betrayal and lies, as well as the thoughts of young men and women, were all buried.
******
When Bai Zhenting was rescued by Bai Shiqi from the dark room next to Qiu Ying's courtyard, he was seriously injured and imprisoned for nearly ten days.
The abacus who stayed by his side immediately panicked when he saw Bai Shiqi: "Where's the son?"
Bai Zhenting has been in a coma for several days, and the wounds on his body have not been properly treated. His life is on the line. The man who used to be majestic has chapped lips, his hair is loose, and his black hair is mixed with frost, as if he has grown old overnight. , startling.
Bai Shiqi lazily talked nonsense with him, and instructed Shu Changfeng: "He may know Uncle Huang's whereabouts and try him carefully." Although Bai Zhenting found it, Huang Youbi disappeared.
Zhu Shoumei took Bai Zhenting's pulse with a dignified expression. From taking the pulse to treating the wound, her brows never loosened.
The King of Zhou sent people to investigate Qiu Ying's small courtyard, and he also checked the dark room and tunnels, but found nothing, but he did not know that this alley was bought by Qiu Ying.
The abacus struggled endlessly and kept shouting: "What are you doing, Bai Shiqi? If it wasn't for the son who left him under the sword, the leader of the Bai gang would have died long ago!"
Bai Shiqi sneered: "If it wasn't for your son's treatment, why would my father and Uncle Huang have such a disaster? Don't mention your ungrateful son to me again!" She said forcefully: "Keep his mouth shut, Drag it out!"
She has always restrained her anger, and she didn't even flare up in front of Qiu Ying, so why would she flare up in front of the abacus.
In the past, no matter how much you pay, you can't get it back. The sadness of being betrayed, the countless sacrifices to pursue, and the life of the old father almost took it. Could it be that by scolding and scolding and killing Qiu Ying, you can take those living brothers to the past. Countless happy years chasing back
It doesn't help.
Bai Shiqi has never been a person who blames others. Although he laughs and scolds on weekdays, he is very calm, but he is very calm when it comes to major events. Even if there are turbulent waves in his heart, he can still hold on to his face. He takes out the style of her little gang leader and assists Song Kaiyuan. Injured to deal with the mess left by the money game.
After the Cao Gang meeting, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang kept his feet on the ground and handled official duties with injuries, and he could not follow behind Bai Shiqi. He could only send Shu Changfeng to protect Bai Shiqi and obey her orders.
Shu Changfeng is worthy of being the confidant of His Royal Highness Zhou Wang. After finding Bai Zhenting, the way to trace Huang Youbi's whereabouts is quite simple and rude.
Abacus was first subjected to unforgettable torture, and then his strong mouth was pried open by him. Following him, he led a group of people to surround the Gaoyou County Office, and everyone from the county magistrate to the office was arrested.
County captain Miao Song had long been in contact with the people under Zhou Wang, and actively cooperated with Shu Changfeng to find the suspect, and soon dug up several people from the Huaiyang Houfu from the Gaoyou County Government Office.
These people usually surround the county magistrate Ba Hongru, which makes people mistakenly think that he is Ba Hongru's confidant. Unexpectedly, the real master behind him is a man from Huaiyang Houfu.
Ba Hongru has always been timid, cowardly and incompetent. He relied on running around the camp. Hearing that these officers had committed a crime, he said tremblingly, "How many of them...they were sent by the Prince of Huaiyang, I just When he was the county magistrate, he went to see the Marquis of Huaiyang, and it was the prince who met me. He said that since there was no one around me, he gave me a few guards to look after the house and the hospital." He was saddened and regretted, "How dare I refuse? "
Huang Youbi was hidden in the death row in Gaoyou County, where the sun was not seen.
This was originally a trick in the cell. The head of the prison saw which prisoner was not pleasing to the eye, so he locked him with the death-row inmate and let the death-row inmate bully him.
Huang Youbi was bound and gagged and thrown into the death row. Seeing that the death row inmate was a gray-haired old man, he had not had a gout attack the night before, and slept soundly. He was still in the mood to pull out the sweat towel that covered his mouth and asked: " Old man, what did you do?"
When Huang Youbi saw this man's ferocious face, and his body was full of fierceness, he knew it was not good, and as soon as he met him, he said, "Your Excellency often suffers from severe joint pain at night, right?"
The man was originally lazy, and was going to play with the old man slowly, but he actually knew the intentions of these yamen, and he became more and more reckless when he bullied the prisoner. "Old man, are you a doctor?"
Huang Youbi had her hands tied behind her back, and was half lying on the ground when she was thrown in. After a terrifying night, she rushed out of the Qiu family's small courtyard early in the morning to ask for help. Although she was the reporter, she was imprisoned in the cell for no reason. No matter what happened to Bai Zhenting, he could only save his own life first.
"The old man's surname is Huang."
"Master Huang, the holy hand of Jiangnan?"
The death row inmate had been imprisoned for two years. Every night he had gout attacks, and he wanted to be executed as soon as possible.
"Don't you coax me?"
Huang Youbi: "Come on, come on, let me loosen up for the old man, and wait for the old man to put two needles for you first." The silver needle on his body was always in his hand, but it happened to be of great use and saved himself a disaster.
