In order not to disturb Wen Qingzhu's questioning, Jasmine directly dragged Xin Zhong out.
The room fell silent.
After a while, Bai Liufang felt very tired and lay down again.
"Why does it feel like your body is falling apart?"
Wen Qingzhu straightened the silver needle on his body: "Because your father drugged you, or Jasmine told me, and now I'm just forcing you to wake up, how much do you know about your Bai family and your father's affairs? "
"He, he is not my father!" Bai Liufang seemed to have remembered something, her face full of anger.
After inserting the last needle, Wen Qingzhu turned around and put away the needle bag: "Tell me what you know. Now your father is probably targeting you. If you are here, the government will protect you."
When the government was mentioned, Bai Liufang looked strange and said: "My father is the governor of Linzhou. He can handle Liu Guang's hands with ease, but he is not an easy person to deal with."
Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean, but Liu Guangdu has been dead for more than a month, and now Dezhou Yamen is the new magistrate, so don't worry."
"Dead?" Bai Liufang couldn't believe it, "How could he be dead?"
Could it be that he knew something about this reaction
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu briefly told him some of the things she encountered here.
After it was over, Bai Liufang didn't speak for a long time.
Wen Qingzhu was not in a hurry: "You have never been out, so you don't understand the outside world. At present, the biggest problem in the northwest should be the clan forces headed by Bai Dong, the three major families in Texas. You should You must have heard something.”
"Of course I know! The deaths of my grandfather and my mother are probably related to them! Originally, I discovered the things my grandfather left behind, but my father ended up imprisoning them."
Speaking of these things, Bai Liufang was very angry. He seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his title, and immediately changed his words: "He doesn't deserve the surname Bai at all! He's not my father either!"
Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised: "Do you know everything about the White Cave?"
"Well, he told me personally." Bai Liufang's mood dropped, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"You actually know everything, or did he tell you himself?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't expect that Bai Liufang would know so much about this matter, and it was actually Bai Dong who told him.
If this is the case, then Bai Dong is even more interesting.
From the very beginning of his surrender, Wen Qingzhu thought he was a good person.
Until now, Bai Dong has actually colluded with the three major clans in Linzhou to overthrow the evildoers.
Now Bai Liufang told her that these things were revealed by Bai Dong on his own initiative.
After thinking for a long time, Wen Qingzhu could probably understand why Jasmine was able to investigate everything so smoothly. Maybe someone was secretly adding fuel to the fire.
As for who this person is, Wen Qingzhu doesn't need to guess too much.
There were hurried footsteps outside the door. Jasmine stepped in and reported directly: "Sir! Bai Dong came here just now and asked if you were here. He didn't come in. He said he was going to help General Lu!"
Wen Qingzhu stood up immediately and walked to the door: "When did he come?"
"A quarter of an hour ago, if I hadn't sent Mr. Xin out just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have known about this." Jasmine didn't like Bai Dong very much.
"It's okay. You've been targeted, so don't show your face. Just leave the outside matters to me and Lu Chuan." Wen Qingzhu walked out.
He gave another instruction: "Bai Liufang wants to trouble you. His body needs to be put to good use. In a quarter of an hour, you go and pull out his needles."
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu made a calculation in his mind.
Jasmine, who didn't understand, chased after him for a few steps: "Sir, why don't you just go and catch Bai Dong? He is obviously from Linzhou, but he is an official in Linzhou. This is obviously up to no good!"
Wen Qingzhu stopped and held Jasmine's shoulders: "I know, but it's just not the time to touch him yet."
Looking at her eyes, Jasmine suddenly understood something, nodded and went back to the room.
Arriving outside the Yamen, Wen Qingzhu quickly met Lu Chuan who had returned.
He raised his hand to stop the team and came down to Wen Qingzhu. While looking inside, he asked, "Has the matter at the Yamen been resolved?"
"Almost, what's going on over there?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at the army behind him. It was nearly half less than when he came.
Lu Chuan raised his chin and said, "Of course we'll beat them up and run away!"
Recalling Baidong's visit, Wen Qingzhu asked suspiciously: "They didn't retreat on their own initiative, right?"
"Yeah, it doesn't count." Lu Chuan was a little embarrassed. After careful calculation, those people were indeed retreating and did not want to fight.
"As expected." Wen Qingzhu sighed. She turned to look in the direction of the Bai family and said, "Come with me to the Bai family. The Bai Cave is there. He must know where the teacher is."
At the door of Bai's house, the door is open.
There was no one in the room, and Wen Qingzhu, who was about to enter, couldn't help but hesitate.
After handing the horse over to his wife, Lu Chuan stopped next to Wen Qingzhu: "I'll go in first and take a look. You wait outside."
Thinking of what Bai Dong had done, Wen Qingzhu nodded.
After turning around, Lu Chuan ordered four people to follow him in.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, a personal attendant came out and reported: "Master Wen, the general invites you to come in! There is no danger inside, only Bai Dong is alone."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and followed him inside.
They did not go to the lobby of the Bai family, but to the ancestral hall on the east side.
Two soldiers were guarding the door. Wen Qingzhu walked in quickly and found Lu Chuan and another soldier, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding the white cave.
Suddenly there were footsteps in the quiet ancestral hall. Bai Dong turned around and bowed and saluted: "I have met Mr. Wen."
Looking at Bai Dong, who didn't have any unusual expression in front of him, Wen Qingzhu was a little unsure.
What is the purpose of this person
Bai Dong seemed to have noticed her doubts. He looked sideways at the memorial tablet on the memorial platform and said: "These things should not be told to the adults, but the adults are different from Liu Fang. After thinking about it, it is better to tell the adults."
His tone sounded like he was explaining the aftermath, and he seemed to trust himself.
Worried that Bai Dong had misunderstood something, Wen Qingzhu interrupted him: "I am special to Bai Liufang, just because he and Bing Ning are friends. Bing Ning's temperament rarely makes good friends, so I helped Bai Liufang. "
"It turns out to be Miss Zuo." Bai Dong had some regrets on his face, but he quickly cheered up.
He pointed to the two lowest tablets and said: "Whether you are Sir or Miss Zuo, you are all trustworthy people. These two are my father-in-law and my wife. They both died because of me. In the end, I even lost my son." Can’t even keep it.”
"So you decided to commit suicide after confessing?" Wen Qingzhu saw through his purpose at a glance.
Bai Dong said with a guilty look on his face: "I have sinned so much that it is not easy for me to survive until now. Even King Zuo Xian has retreated. It will be a matter of time for you to wipe out the northwest. Why should I struggle so hard and see through it?" They are all old antiques."
Wen Qingzhu did not relax her vigilance about this. After all, few people could deceive her eyes, and Bai Dong was one of them.
"The three major clans in Linzhou secretly colluded with the Xiongnu. The purpose is not just to make money, right?"
"Of course, their purpose is to get rid of the Lu family." Bai Dong said bluntly.
Lu Chuan, who had been watching with cold eyes, almost jumped up, holding back his anger and said: "Did our Lu family provoke you into anything? We don't even hesitate to collude with the enemy and treason!"
"Why is it related to the Lu family?" Wen Qingzhu looked at Lu Chuan and then at the white cave. Is there any hidden secret here
Bai Dong looked out the door and said in a faint tone: "These are all grievances a hundred years ago. When Taizong pacified the world, he had more than one general from the Lu family. But later, Emperor Taizong took back the remaining military powers and handed them all over. After killing the Lu family, I rewarded the other families with countless money, which is considered as a kind of compensation."
"Wait! This matter was arranged by Emperor Taizong. What does it have to do with our Lu family!" Lu Chuan felt that he was being targeted for no reason, and he felt very unhappy.
Being targeted by civil servants in the capital who had never fought in a war, the Lu family was already in a dilemma, and now suddenly there were other enemies.
Seeing Lu Chuan's expression, Bai Dong just smiled. He didn't say much, "In short, these families were unwilling to accept it. In the end, three families settled in Linzhou, but they have not forgotten what happened back then and have been trying to get rid of Lu Chuan." Home.
The first two generations were okay, at least they were upright, but by my third uncle's generation, they had gone crazy and would not hesitate to destroy the foundation of Qi State.
It is natural to collude with the Xiongnu, after all, they can even do it to their own brothers and sisters—"
Bai Dong couldn't continue what he said next. He raised his eyes and looked at Wen Qingzhu: "Sir, my third uncle and his family have been rigid for thirty years. The other people in the three families have been dissatisfied for a long time. I only hope that your Excellency can see that the three families are doing their best. By managing Linzhou well, we have contained Dezhou to some extent and spared those innocent tribesmen."
"Where is my teacher? What is the book you gave me? Why is the teacher here? Where did you lead him?"
Wen Qingzhu was not interested in their family feud. She had not received any news from Fu Lie yet, and she couldn't help but feel impatient.
"I'm sorry, this matter is a personal grudge between the teacher and Mr. Ji. It's best for you not to get involved. As for the regent, as long as he doesn't encounter the Huns, nothing will happen to him."
Bai Dong didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and knelt in front of Mr. Bai and Miss Bai.
He kowtowed slowly, his shoulders twitching slightly, as if he was crying.
After a while, the movement slowed down, and the white hole became motionless.
Wen Qingzhu, who was staring at him, felt something was wrong and immediately stepped forward. As soon as he touched the white hole, his body fell softly to the ground.
The exposed face was filled with a layer of black air, and blood was flowing from the eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
Wen Qingzhu quickly checked and found that it was Xiongnu's poison.
"Is he dead now?" Lu Chuan still had many questions in his mind.
Bai Dong died so simply that Wen Qingzhu had no time to stop him.
Standing up, she turned to Lu Chuan and said, "Take Bai Dong's body back, and when Bai Liufang wakes up, let him see his father for the last time."
"He is a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and the country! And Bai Liufang is not willing to see him." Lu Chuan also knew something about Bai Liufang.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the corpse and said unhappily: "I didn't want to either! But since he left evidence of colluding with the Huns! It saved us some trouble, I have to show my gratitude and let his son go see him. Bar."
"There is evidence of colluding with the Huns on him! Where is it? I didn't see you searching him!" Lu Chuan turned his head and looked over, wishing he could see through the white hole.
Wen Qingzhu, who was feeling irritable, waved his hands, turned around and walked out: "You handle it here, if you don't understand anything, go to Ming Liang, and I'll find out who the teacher of Baidong is!"
Just now Bai Dong said that the teacher and his teacher had a personal grudge.
But in her two lifetimes, she had never heard of any grudge between her teacher and him.
After leaving the Bai family, Wen Qingzhu quickly found Yan Yongzhang and asked about the Bai Cave.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yongzhang looked confused: "Bai Dong's teacher? He doesn't have any special teacher, right? He was a teacher hired by the Bai family before. Later, he was admitted as a scholar, and he has been self-study and made rapid progress."
