Seeing the trembling appearance of the general's wife, Bai Quan said helplessly: "Why are you so afraid? I didn't say that you were the cause of the plague, and haven't I said it several times? This is called a virus, not a plague. !」
He rubbed his temples helplessly, and then said:
"I just want to find out the source of the virus. I also know that you are probably innocent. As victims, even if the source of the virus is really related to you, I will not punish you. But if you refuse to cooperate, it will be an unforgivable felony."
The general's wife lowered her head silently, her face full of fear, "My wife is guilty!"
Bai Quan narrowed his eyes, "So you know the inside story, right?"
The general's wife was so obedient that she didn't dare to speak.
At the same time, the retreating soldiers had already brought in large and small boxes, almost all of which were items that the son-in-law had come into contact with.
Seeing the general's wife's face getting worse and worse, even Liu Shengsheng noticed something was wrong.
It seems that this virus is really inseparable from the General's Mansion...
Thinking like this, Liu Shengsheng approached the boxes step by step, "As long as the eldest son has touched anything, pour it out and let me inspect it myself."
"yes!"
The soldiers quickly poured the contents of the box onto the ground one by one.
It was the middle of the night, and the surroundings were dark. Fortunately, the surroundings were full of candles, and there were groups of people holding torches, so everything was illuminated very clearly.
While Liu Shengsheng was checking the items one by one, the general's wife's face turned pale.
Bai Quan said meaningfully: "I have already said that you are also victims. There is no need to be afraid of this kind of thing. It does not mean that if the source of the virus is found in the General's Mansion, I will blame the General's Mansion. I will only discuss the matter on its own merits, but if you know and do not report it, then this matter..." New
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
In the end, the general's wife couldn't bear the pressure and kowtowed, and then said with tears in her eyes: "We are really victims, real victims, and we have no way of knowing about this..."
"If you have no way of knowing, why should you panic?"
Bai Quan looked at her coldly, "If you tell the truth now, even if there is something hidden, I can still let you go. If you really wait until I find out personally, you know what the consequences will be."
After all, she was a woman. After hearing such a blatant threat, the general's wife couldn't bear it anymore.
She sobbed softly, and her shoulders were shaking.
Suddenly, an older maid crawled over from not far away, "Your Majesty, please calm down! I know the cause and effect of this matter!"
The maid kept her head down the whole time, crawled all the way to the general's wife, and then kowtowed to the ground.
"Madam, let's tell the truth. We are also victims of this matter. The young prince is very tolerant and will definitely understand us! Now only the young prince can make the decision for us!"
The general's wife said tremblingly: "This, this is not us..."
"Of course we didn't do this, but this matter has nothing to do with our General's Mansion! The General is unconscious in bed, and the Eldest Young Master is dying. Now the Young Prince is here in person. As long as we tell the truth, the Young Prince will definitely do something for us. We will seek justice! If we continue to conceal it, the evidence of the crime will be conclusive! Only then will the eldest son be in real danger..."
The maid's words were touching. After she finished speaking, she changed direction tremblingly, not daring to look at Bai Quan. Instead, she kowtowed twice in the direction of Bai Quan.
"My young prince, calm down! I know the secret! I know where the plague started!"
Hearing these words, Liu Shengsheng, who was looking at the items, finally stopped, then raised his head and looked at the maid intently.
Bai Quan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Then
Just make it clear. "
The maid said tremblingly: "This matter really has nothing to do with our wife, nor does it have anything to do with the General. It is all due to the eldest son's ignorance. I beg the prince to forgive the general's mansion this time!"
Bai Quan frowned, his face obviously unhappy.
Zuo Yu even said coldly: "Who do you think you are? When will it be your turn..."
"Shut up and let her talk."
Bai Quan interrupted Zuo Yu's words coldly.
Although Zuo Yu was angry, he still obediently stepped aside.
The general's wife held the maid's hand tremblingly, "What are you doing here? You..."...o
"Madam, you can't hide it! You can't hide this kind of thing..."
The maid spoke with runny noses and tears, and then said: "If we tell the truth, even if the emperor knows about it, he will be open to the general's palace, but if he keeps hiding it like this, then everyone in the world will I think we are the cause of this plague. Which one is more serious? Madam, please think twice!"
After hearing these words, although the general's wife was filled with fear, she finally closed her mouth.
Only then did the maid say earnestly: "Your Majesty, the thing is like this. Before anything happened, the eldest son stayed at the fireworks place all year round, living and drinking every day, without learning or skill. He had no ambitions. Leopard dared to do anything." I never had any bad intentions when it came to hurting others.”
"The worst thing about him is that he wants to run away all the time, and every time he runs out, he takes a lot of wealth to gamble randomly, and every time, he loses empty-handed..."
Zuo Yu narrowed his eyes, "How dare a mere servant speak of his master like this? You girl is quite brave!"
Facing the suspicious eyes, the maid said with piercing eyes: "I don't dare! I have no right to say anything bad about the eldest master! But I must tell the truth! Everyone present must know the eldest master's virtues. , the whole city knows that the eldest young master is fond of gambling, right?"
Bai Quan frowned, not understanding what this maid wanted to express.
Liu Shengsheng walked up to him and explained in a low voice, "This little maid is sincere. She is telling us in advance that the eldest son is uneducated and a loser. There is absolutely no way he has any heart or courage." It is impossible to do something that will endanger the country..."
After listening to Liu Shengsheng's explanation, Bai Quan shrugged, "I understand what she means."
Liu Shengsheng just smiled and did not expose him. Instead, she looked at the maid and said, "Then what? So what if you know? What does this virus have to do with your eldest son's gambling?"
