Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"My lord, you also want to save Baili, and you don't want him to be hurt by bad guys."

"But he was still injured, and it was so serious. Judging by the national player's expression just now, Baili's injury must be very difficult. If it is true, as the national player said, the skull is lacerated and the inner brain is damaged, then... even if it is stopped Blood too..."

"My lord," Concubine Di said, "The national player hasn't yet confirmed whether he has injured his inner brain, so don't worry too much."

"Why are you not in a hurry? Baili's mouth and nose were bleeding on the carriage, his hands became very cold, his breath was like a thread, and his pulse was weak." Defang looked at his hands, "I...I supported his head. ...his blood... just kept flowing..."

"My lord." Concubine Di shook Defang's hand, "Don't do this, Baili will be fine."

"Yes...it will be fine..."

Concubine Di walked to the door, "Ke'er, hurry up and get a basin of hot water."

"Yes, ma'am." Ke'er also cried for a long time, and hurriedly wiped away his tears and went to fetch water. Concubine Di changed Defang's clothes, dipped in hot water and wiped his hands. There will be none, take it easy."

"Those three damned guys! The lonely king will definitely not let them go!"

"My lord, who are those three people?"

"I don't care who they are!"

"My lord, Baili gave them thousands of taels of silver. There must be a reason. The guards saw that Baili took the silver out of the mansion many times. Mr. Nangong also followed him to the gambling house. He saw with his own eyes that Baili was I handed over the silver to them, these people must have some background, otherwise why would Baili give them all his savings for decades."

"The origin? What origin can the three gamblers have, the rascals, they are just defrauding Baili's money."

"There must be some excuses for cheating money. Baili is the chief steward of Nanqing Palace. How could he get involved with a rascal in the market for no reason? Besides, more than 9000 taels of silver is not a decimal. What can those three gamblers use?" The reason is to defraud Baili of so much silver."

Defang looked at Concubine Di and thought for a while, "Madam is right, why did they lie to Baili..."

"My lord, do you still remember what the casino thugs said? Those three people showed the owner of the casino a piece of paper, and Nianchao spent 5000 taels in exchange for it. Then there must be something important written on the piece of paper. Why don't you go first?" Interrogate the owner of the casino to find out what it says."

"That person ran away. Jiajun didn't find him when he led the soldiers to arrest him. Later, Kaifeng Mansion also went to his home, and there was no one left." Defang sighed, "I don't care what I wrote. , It's just... Baili himself never spends any money on weekdays, why he suddenly gave all the money to the three of them, I really can't figure it out."

"My lord, it's better to hand them over to the judge of Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation."

"No! I have to ask myself!"

"Alright," Concubine Di reassured Defang, "You can ask again when Baili feels better."

"Ma'am, I want to drink."

"My lord, drinking at this time will hurt your health."

"Just a few drinks, okay? I feel bad."

Concubine Di sighed, ordered the dining room to cook some food and wine, and warmed the pot of wine, "My lord, my concubine will drink with you."

"Ma'am, you should go to bed earlier."

Concubine Di poured wine and served it to Defang, "I know that if Baili doesn't wake up, you won't rest. If you don't rest, how can I fall asleep?"

Defang put the wine glass aside, pulled Concubine Di to the bedside, "I won't drink, ma'am, I'll lie down and rest."

"Thank you, my lord." Concubine Di helped Defang lie on the bed, "Your lord, get some sleep, you have to go to court tomorrow."

"The previous dynasty?"
