Chapter 122 My Brother Is So Kind ([-] words)

[Then tell me, why did your mother suddenly come to my house and say something like asking for marriage? You didn't ask her to come, so she would change her attitude? 】

【I did mention marriage proposal to her before...】

【So, you should have expected such a day. 】

【If you don't marry you, you can't marry someone else. Xie Xingyun, I don't like being threatened. Whether it's you or your mother, you don't want us to be friends, right? 】

【In no mood. 】

[Then please leave now. 】

……

"Miss Bai, what are you thinking about?"

Guoying's voice brought Bai Xianyu back to her senses, she looked at the man on the bed complicatedly, "It's nothing."

"Did you hear what the servant said just now?"

"I heard, I see."

Seeing her calm face, Guoying was a little relieved, "That's good."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Zheng coughed twice, "Miss Bai Wu, your brother is here."

Bai Xianyu's heart was completely relieved, the word "brother" gave her too much sense of security since she was a child.

"it is good."

It was only at this moment that Guoying remembered to ask Bai Xianyu, "Miss Bai, didn't this servant send you back? Why are you here at this moment?"

Bai Xianyu said simply: "There was an accident on the road."

"...That's it." Guoying didn't ask too much.

"Then I'll take my leave first, since Xie Xingyun didn't continue to have a high fever."

"it is good."

Bai Xianyu bid farewell to Guoying, pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Zheng standing in the courtyard resentfully, with a guilty expression on his face.

She felt a dull pain in her waist, "Didn't you say that Xie Xingyun had a high fever again?"

Xiao Zheng said "ah", and said strangely: "Young master was still having a high fever before I went out to sweep the floor, but now it has come down for some reason."

Bai Xianyu said calmly: "Your young master has a fever, why don't you ask someone to take care of him, and go sweep the floor by yourself?"

The boy choked.

Bai Xianyu sighed softly, forget it, they were all in the same group, anyway, Xiao Zheng would never do anything that would harm Xie Xingyun.

The two walked quickly to the gate of the mansion. There, a tall and tall figure was stretched by the moonlight, lonely and warm.

Bai Xianyu smiled slowly, "Brother."

Bai Jingyuan responded lightly, and then a head popped out from the right side of the mansion door, "Sister!"

"Fourth brother."

Bai Jinyan pretended to be holding his heart together, and looked at Bai Xianyu aggrievedly, "What's so interesting about this Hou's mansion, you've been here all day, come, come, come and let my brother see if there's anything uncomfortable."

"I'm almost ready, fourth brother, you have to go to the academy tomorrow morning, why did you come with third brother." Bai Xianyu was afraid that they would see something, so he secretly glanced at his dress.

Bai Jinyan took a few steps forward and said, "Third Brother sent someone to pick you up in the afternoon, but he didn't arrive home, so I went out with Third Brother to look for you. We came here from Baimayi, and saw Lu Zhu standing at the door. That's where it stops."

With a warm heart, Bai Xianyu smiled and said, "Brother is so kind."

With such a smile, Bai Jinyan's heart melted instantly, and even Bai Jingyuan had a faint smile on his face.

"Let's go, go home early, the little girl can't sleep late." Bai Jinyan skillfully held Bai Xianyu's hand, rubbed it, and soon the cold hand became warm.

Bai Jingyuan seemed to want to ask something, but he glanced around and didn't speak.

Lu Zhu quickly put down the low stool, and supported Bai Xianyu to sit on it.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Xianyu took Bai Li and several hidden guards with him, and went to Baima Station early.

Because of the intention to assist in handling the case, Bai Xianyu can come in and out of the Imperial Guard at will.

Bai Li can hurt Xie Xingyun, and his strength is also very strong.

She first took Bai Li to meet Qi Heng, "You remember his appearance, and look around here to see if there are any strange people who look like him."

Bai Li respectfully apologized, "Yes, Miss."

"If you find it, don't act rashly. Tell me first, and then wait for my order."

"Yes."

Bai Li immediately flipped out of the window.

After listening to Bai Xianyu's words yesterday, Qi Heng didn't fall asleep all night. He was afraid that his neck would be wiped in his sleep, so he asked: "Girl, what should I do now? The carriage to pick me up has already arrived outside the city. gone."

Bai Xianyu said: "Let them wait, it's not safe yet."

Qi Heng nodded repeatedly.

At the very least, let her find evidence to prove her idea.

If their purpose is to let another "Qi Heng" take their place, then that "Qi Heng" definitely lives not far from this Qi Heng in front of him.

Today is the fourth day of handling the case in Dali Temple, and one day later, he will report to Emperor Wuxuan.

Bai Xianyu went to look for Li Yu after leaving the White Horse Station. It is inconvenient for her to say more about Qi Heng, she has no evidence for now, and such a guess is too bold, and it is easy to startle the snake, and even get beaten up.

But she told Li Yu about her being followed last night, and if she cooperates with Dali Temple to lure the snake out of the hole, it is not impossible...

Li Yu stroked his beard and was silent for a while before smiling and saying, "My niece is hallucinating."

Bai Xianyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I've already found out that the case is about to be closed. The thief you met that day should be a nearby thief. After guarding for so many days, except for the peddler who lost his life, no other murders or clues were found. Very soon It's most likely just ordinary people who want to rob money, which premeditated thief would choose to commit crimes outside Qionglin Garden."

Bai Xianyu understood the meaning of his words, and remained silent without speaking.

Li Yu went on to say: "If my niece really feels that someone is following you, they are probably just blind thieves. What does it have to do with this case?"

This is not going to continue the investigation, so the case is closed.

Bai Xianyu smiled without saying a word, his clear eyes made Li Yu feel unnatural for a moment.

After a while, he said: "Since that's the case, Xianyu will not bother Dali Temple to investigate the case."

……

On the day when the case was closed, Bai Xianyu secretly sent several secret guards to stay in Baimayi to protect Qi Heng.

When Bai Jingyuan came home, he saw Bai Xianyu standing at the door of his study.

Bai Jingyuan glanced at her and said, "What's the matter, sister?"

Bai Xianyu pushed open the door of the study, Bai Jingyuan had never seen such a serious expression on his sister's face, so he followed in.

The door is closed.

Bai Xianyu's first sentence was: "Brother, do you believe me?"

Bai Jingyuan didn't hesitate, "Naturally."

"If you didn't guess wrong, when Dali Siqing closed the case today, he only said that it was an ordinary thief who made trouble?"

"Yes."

"But I said no."

Deep thought flashed across Bai Jingyuan's eyes.

Bai Xianyu said seriously: "Brother, their goal is not for money, nor for my life... but for the position above ten thousand people."

Bai Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, "How do you say?"

Bai Xianyu made up a reason and said: "When I was in Fo'en Temple, I had a dream about past and present lives. In that dream, there was a Minister of the Ministry of Industry named Qi Heng. And that day after I bought the White Horse Inn, , I met a Qi Heng who looked exactly like in the dream, but the Qi Heng in the dream was Wu Zhi, and the person I met was Liu Zhi."

Bai Jingyuan said: "Did something go wrong in the dream?"

"No, I guess it's because the assassin wanted Qi Heng's life, so that another 'Qi Heng' could take his place as Juren."

If it were someone else, they might have scoffed at such speculation, but Bai Jingyuan didn't. He asked seriously, "Twins?"

Bai Xianyu nodded, "I think so, so I asked Bai Li to investigate that day."

Just as he was speaking, a voice came from outside.

"Miss, son, I have something to report."

"It's Bai Li, there should be some news, brother and I should go and have a look."

Bai Jingyuan followed Bai Xianyu out of the door, and Bai Li's expression was still a little strange, "Miss ordered my subordinates to search for the person that day, and my subordinates... found it."

It really is.

Even though Bai Xianyu was [-]% sure before finding someone, but when he heard Bai Li's report, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Then, Bai Li described what he saw in detail.

Bai Jingyuan's face changed slightly, "Xiao Yu'er, come with me."

Entering the study again, Bai Jingyuan's face was extremely ugly, "Then in your dream, do you know who this bully is?"

Bai Xianyu slowly shook his head.

In the previous life, Emperor Wuxuan intended to appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince, and the general's mansion naturally supported the fifth prince, but the fifth prince did not succeed to the throne in the end, but died in an accident.

But the accident now, if you think about it carefully, it might have been premeditated.

And the people behind "Qi Heng" have been targeting the General's Mansion. Now that I think about it, the few princes other than the fifth prince...even ministers with treasonous intentions may be behind the scenes.

In other words, any one of the remaining princes may be the one who caused Emperor Wu Xuan to doubt their loyalty. If they can't get them, they will be destroyed.

Maybe even Emperor Wu Xuan was murdered with a borrowed knife.

But she really didn't know about the question asked by the third brother. Before she was reborn, such news had not been released in the court. Even after Xie Xingyun became the regent, the people behind the scenes were still recharging their energy. Already, if you move, the mountains and rivers will be in turmoil.

"This can also explain why the thief took a huge risk to do it. Qi Heng will set off to Zhizhou to take office in a few days, and it will be too late to do it. Even if they are twins, there will still be a difference in appearance. If someone recognizes him, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted, and it is the safest way to replace him before the person who picks him up arrives."

Bai Jingyuan also understood the seriousness of the matter.

If this is the case, if it is not the first time to commit a crime, how many of the current court officials have been replaced by this method?
Once found out, it would be a death sentence. Apart from the allure of the throne, what else is worth playing such a big game of chess?

"Little Yu'er, this is a big matter. We don't have evidence yet, so don't spread it."

He can trust Xiao Yu'er, but others may not.

"Ah."
