Chapter 734 Conversation Between Father and Son ([-])
"Black Flag Gang?"

Bai Yuanyi took a look at his son, then raised his hand abruptly, his rough hands trained in battle all the year round grabbed his son's ear like pliers, and twisted half a circle in spite of his pain.

"Fat enough guts!"

"Father, spare your life!" Bai Qing leaned over and begged for mercy, "Father, where am I so bold? I didn't do anything. If you want to punish me, there must be a reason that convinces me, right?"

"You still dare to pretend to be a fool with me?" Bai Yuanyi let go of his son's ears, slapped him on the head, and suddenly lowered his voice, "I ask you, who is Qi Ke?"

"Who is Qi Ke? Qi Ke is Qi Ke, a civilian who was collected by the army halfway south last year."

"Civilians taken in halfway?" Bai Yuanyi naturally couldn't believe his son's nonsense, "Is it easy to lie to me? The civilians taken in halfway happen to have a land deed from your ex-in-law's family?"

"Tsk." Bai Qing rubbed his painful head, his face was serious, not foolish, "The world was so chaotic last year, how did you get the land deed in Qi Ke's hand, anyway, we have no evidence to prove that she did something bad, on the contrary Because of this Zhuangzi, she was framed and imprisoned by the local gentry when she first arrived, and she was finally cleared of her grievances."

Bai Yuanyi didn't believe a word, but he didn't pull his son's ear to force him to tell the truth. Instead, he threw up his clothes and sat down on the chair. He picked up the teapot and poured another cup of cold water, and drank half of it as if he were using tea. With distant eyes, he held the cup in his hand and played with it as if distracted, with an old father's sigh and melancholy on his face.

"Father, tell me what you have to say."

"Hey, what else can I say? My son has grown up, he has his own ideas, and he has become more courageous. He dares to lie in front of my father."

"Father..." Bai Qing knew what his father wanted to ask, but he naturally refused to admit it. He changed Qi Ke's household registration without telling the truth last year, and it is even more impossible to tell the truth now.

"Last year you wrote to me about the Qi family's mess, and the person who told you so many details was this Qi Ke, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

Bai Yuanyi stared at his son sharply. Bai Qing knew that his father's eyes were sharp, and he didn't dare to show any superfluous expressions, so he nodded obediently.

"You said at the time that Qi Ke died, but Qi Ke survived, so you inherited your cousin's inheritance and settled down in this village."

"Yes."

"Yes, that's what you wrote in your letter, and I also believed that at the time. I sent someone back to the capital to investigate and found out that it was true, so I took care of the Qiqiu family to avenge your unfortunate ex-fiancée."

"Yes." Bai Qing lowered his head deeply, with a harmless and honest look, but he didn't know that his behavior was hiding secret guilt in the eyes of his father and son.

"Unexpectedly, Qi Ke is very capable. Since she settled down, she has made great contributions. I just want to pretend that she is an ordinary landlord. I can't pretend to be stupid anymore. I squeezed out money to reward her under the premise of tight military expenses. I just rewarded her once. How long has it been, let's do it again."

"Well, Qi Ke is indeed a capable person."

"Hey, what did you tell me last year that this cousin, Qi Ke, is from Qi Hongyi's old family, and all she can read and write relies on eavesdropping in a private school, and her reading is mainly to steal the books of Qi Hongyi's family. A few books are pitiful."

"Yes, she is today because of her hard work and studiousness. Since she settled here, she is still collecting books. It's a pity that so many bookstores and bookstores are closed, and it is getting more and more difficult to save a few books."
