Bai Changqing had to come here.
Since noon yesterday, Bai Changqing's two wives suddenly fell ill, their bodies were burning hot, and they have been in a coma. It was as if I was suffering from a bad cold, I was sweating endlessly, and I had convulsions from time to time.
Such a sudden illness made the people in Baifu panic. While they went to call for a doctor, they also sent people to the Yamen to ask Bai Changqing to come back.
By the time Bai Changqing rushed home, three doctors had already arrived, all with ugly faces.
"The two ladies are suffering from aversion to cold, and the cold poison has entered their bodies. In addition, they have cold constitutions, which makes their illnesses more complicated. Now they can only use heavy medicine to stimulate the vitality of the two ladies. But can they withstand it? In the past...it all depended on the luck of the two ladies."
The doctors have tried their best. Bai Changqing's two wives are just ordinary people who cannot afford powerful elixirs, so they can only treat them with medicinal decoctions. However, the medicinal decoctions are very slow to take effect, and the condition is urgent and severe. Even the best doctors in the imperial city There was no better way for a while.
It is normal for one person to suddenly become seriously ill, but it is not so unusual for two people to suddenly fall ill at the same time and in the same serious condition. Especially since Bai Changqing had always known something fishy in his heart, he had a hunch that the problem might not be a "disease", but someone who wanted his two wives to die.
Sitting opposite Shen Hao, Bai Changqing's face was calm, but his heart was anxious. He knew very well that if he spent more time, his two beloved wives would be closer to death. But at the same time, he also knew that he was facing a man-eating monster now, and he couldn't panic or show cowardice, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver.
"Master Shen, originally your method was perfect, and I shouldn't have noticed anything strange in it, but things always happen to be coincidental. Once, when verifying the old documents of the family of a criminal official, a portrait of my wife was found. The local master was in charge of this. They happened to be my students, and they came over to have a drink during my wedding, so they paid attention and told me. After that, I paid attention. Although I couldn't figure it out clearly, I could guess that they were given to me by Master Shen. Gift.
I would also like to thank Master Shen here. "
Shen Hao said nothing and had no expression on his face. No matter how Bai Changqing discovered the identities of the Xu sisters, it was no longer important. What's important is why Bai Changqing kept pretending not to know when he found out? Would they even show up at this stall where the Xu sisters were about to die?
Why? Shen Hao couldn't understand it at all for a while. He was also on alert, wondering if Bai Changqing was going to dig a hole for him?
Bai Changqing just paused, and then continued: "Since my old wife passed away, Bai's life seems to have been silent. Only some disturbances in the temple can arouse his spirit. When he gets old one day, he will be in decline, and he is ready to guard his old wife's grave." The heap slowly decayed.
But the appearance of the two sisters Zhiyuan and Zhidi broke away the haze in my heart and brought sunshine and rain to my silent life.
Haha, although it’s hypocritical, Master Shen, do you believe it? Because of their appearance, I thought about living another thirty to fifty years and whether I could make further progress in my career. Only then did I have the energy to do things as before.
Even though I later found out that their identities were not simple and that they were probably other people's eyes and ears, I still couldn't let them go, just like a sweet dream that I didn't want to wake up from.
Later, two little babies were born, and our little family became truly connected. I can feel their recent determination, as if they are doing something extraordinary. But I didn’t dare ask. It wasn't until they suddenly fell ill that I figured it out.
Mr. Shen, have they "betrayed" you? And you want to get rid of them and let them die of serious illness. Well... just like how you dealt with Lu Oliang before, right? "
For the first time, Shen Hao took a serious look at the person in front of him, Bai Changqing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, who he considered to be a "good person".
It was not because the Lord Shangshu had seen through the ears and eyes placed by Heishui around him, but because he was surprised by the deep and affectionate emotion that this man had shown his true feelings just now.
At first glance, Shen Hao was not convinced by Bai Changqing's words. What is your identity? He actually came here to "talk about feelings", so there was no need to be so perfunctory, right?
You will feel that Bai Changqing is lying. There might be some conspiracy hidden behind it.
But Shen Hao was quickly confused by the unabashed and unpretended friendship in Bai Changqing's words. Especially the happiness in Bai Changqing's eyes didn't seem to be fake! ?
It is hard to believe that a person who can be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance would be so emotionally honest and willing to be exposed to the eyes of others.
Emotions are weaknesses, how can we show them to others so easily? !
But what if it’s true love? If you are really reluctant to give up, how can you risk everything? This seems to explain why Bai Changqing never revealed the identities of the Xu sisters after knowing them.
Maybe as Bai Changqing said just now, he didn't want to wake up from his sweet dream.
So even though Shen Hao's reason told him that he couldn't believe what Bai Changqing said, what he saw before him and the logical answers made him have to believe it. If the two cancel each other out, it should be regarded as "doubtful".
"Master Bai, to be honest, I don't understand what you are talking about." Even if Shen Hao was doubtful, he would not admit to his face that he had inserted spies around the dignified minister, nor would he admit the death of Lu Ouliang and the conspiracy. Flag camp has anything to do with it.
"It's fine if Mr. Shen refuses to admit it. But Mr. Bai came here just to seek a way out for his beloved wife. If Mr. Shen can help, then Mr. Bai will owe Mr. Shen a huge favor. And if Mr. Shen refuses to save him, Then Bai can only bury his beloved wife before sworn in with Mr. Shen." Bai Changqing said the harshest words in the calmest tone, and it was also the most risk-taking he had ever done in his life so far.
Bai Changqing knew very well who the person sitting in front of him was, and he also understood that his words may not have a big threatening effect in the eyes of the other party. But this is his attitude at this moment, and it is also the only thing he can rely on.
Even Bai Changqing wasn't sure whether someone like Shen Hao, who lived in darkness, would believe his confession, but he really didn't tell any lies.
In fact, Bai Changqing himself was a little surprised that he could actually do this.
Humans are really strange creatures.
Looking at Shen Hao again, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously, choked by the blatant threat behind Bai Changqing. Is this still the Bai Shangshu he knows? He actually said harsh words to his face like a street gangster, and yet he was "destined to live together"?
Shen Hao wanted to laugh, but couldn't. It is definitely not a good thing to be regarded as a mortal enemy by Bai Changqing. Even he felt that the current situation seemed to be inexplicably frozen.
Ignoring Bai Changqing, he allowed the Xu sisters to die and formed a deadly feud. Later, Bai Changqing will definitely publicize the fact that the Black Flag Camp arranged spies to be around the officials of the old Jing Dynasty. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, Black Flag Camp will have to face the emperor's wrath, which will definitely be a huge blow to Black Water.
Pay attention to Bai Changqing and let the Xu sisters go. What if Bai Changqing regrets it later? Could it be that the Black Flag Camp was set on the fire again?
