Chapter 443

"What's the use of saying this now? Didn't you all say that you wanted to show Bai Kou a good look? Now that the mission failed, it's my fault for acting recklessly?" Shi Tianqi argued unconvinced.

"Are you still reasonable? Who did you discuss with in advance when you gave the order?" The eldest princess glared at her daughter angrily, "Bai Kou is becoming more and more important to Gu Yun now, so he should give up his previous thoughts. , you can’t touch her anymore, otherwise what will happen to your brother’s business? Gu Yun passed the exam at the age of 15, he is not an idiot! Do you have to expose your uncle’s ambition to seize the throne now to be satisfied? Already?!"

"Mother, calm down. Tomorrow, I'll check Gu Yun's tone and see what he has to say, and we'll discuss it when we get back." Shi Tianmin walked behind his mother and stroked her back.

"Qi'er, look at how you made your mother angry, why don't you come over and apologize!" The stone son-in-law winked at his daughter.

Shi Tianqi pursed his lips, walked up to his mother with a pitiful look, held her hand and acted softly.

"Mother, my daughter knew she was wrong, and she will definitely not act recklessly next time. Anyway, this time they don't have anything against us, so please forgive my daughter this time, okay?"

Princess Jiayou only gave birth to this pair of brothers and sisters, and she was more important than her eyes. At this moment, the attitude of the two children softened. She took a long breath and no longer pursued her daughter's fault.

"Qi'er, the person who failed the mission was sent to the commander of my Princess Mansion, and he will give her another mission."

"Yes, mother." Shi Tianqi responded meekly.

"Also, stop thinking about Bai Kou, it's better to win over her than to kill her." Shi Consort said suddenly.

"Win her?" The wives and children looked at him together, waiting for his next words.

"Min'er wins over Gu Yun, Qi'er wins over Bai Kou, you brothers and sisters work together to hold both master and servant in your hands. Bai Kou is an official servant, so it's easier to negotiate terms to win her over, as long as she promises to forgive her when things are done. She and her whole family, she will naturally be tempted, if at the same time Gu Yun has already called Min'er brothers, Bai Kou will not hesitate too much."

"But she might also tell Duke Ye." Shi Tianmin hesitated.

"You can ask Gu Yun to persuade Bai Kou. Bai Kou is serving him, and she will not resist Gu Yun's orders. Besides, she is such a smart person, she must know the consequences of talking nonsense. If she is hated by Gu Yun because of this, she will not resist. You will lose everything you have now." Princess Jiayou followed her husband's train of thought.

"Understood, we know what to do." Brother and sister Tian Min and Tian Qi nodded clearly.

Early the next morning, Bai Kou sent Xiao Yezi to send a note to Yan Zheng, telling him to control the production of the workshop these days, and not long after that, the shopkeeper Bi, who was informed by Bai Rui yesterday, sent the money and the customer's money that had been calculated overnight. The address on the list, Bai Kou divided the addresses according to distance and route, and sent Meihuan, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing to send the money separately in a carriage, each accompanied by four guards.

After Gu Yun arrived at the school, he spread the news about Bai Kou's attack with his buddies and friends, and also described the details of the dagger very clearly. This amazing news quickly spread among all the people in the school. Everyone from the master to the handyman knows it. Under Gu Yun's deliberate inducement, people all think of the incident of the emperor's grandson being attacked. They can send killers to assassinate Bai Kou in the street in broad daylight. Only that matter can be relied upon. superior.

After Shi Tianmin heard the rumors among his classmates, he knew that Duke Ye's mansion did not intend to cover up this matter at all, but made it clear that he wanted to leave this matter under the sun to be discussed by the people of the whole capital, so he hurried to find Gu Yun, Showing concern by pretending to be innocent.

Gu Yun looked stunned, and was inviting people to have a drink on the street at noon, but he was persuaded by his brothers. There was still class in the afternoon, and if he drank too much, he would inevitably be punished by his master.

Shi Tianmin stared blankly, and dragged Gu Yun aside.

"Calm down, calm down, it's a blessing that Bai Kou is fine. If you're really angry, how about going to the Jiaofang area for a drink with me after school in the afternoon? I have a brother who recently got married and is looking for someone every day Drink and have fun, you go with me to join in the fun?"

"No, I don't have time at night. Bai Kou has to stay in bed for the next few days to recuperate. I have to take care of some business. I don't have the heart to think about anything else now. Let's wait a few days until she can go to the ground. Let's have a drink on a rest day." one day."

"Okay, remember to call me when you have time, I'll accompany you anytime." Shi Tianmin couldn't force Gu Yun to have a drink, so he could only follow his words.

"Thank you." Gu Yun patted Shi Tianmin's shoulder gratefully, "It's time for class, I'll go back first."

"Well, let's talk back."

Shi Tianmin watched Gu Yun turn around and leave, and he hurried to find his three buddies, Mr. Xingning Hou Gongzi Su Fanbo, Xinxing Hou Gongzi Jiang Hongshi, and Mr. Moyang Gongzi Xie Zeying. interesting place.

After some discussion, the four of them made a charter, and when Gu Yun was free, they would take him to enjoy the tenderness and sweetness of the gentle country. They were still guessing, whether Gu Yun's life and rest are so regular, is it so far? Still a virgin.

At this time, the noble ladies in the capital also spread the news in their circles. Bai Kou sent a girl to come to the door to refund the compensation. Naturally, these ladies should hurry up and notify their friends to reschedule or cancel the date.

The Duke of the State was also in his official office. Taking advantage of the short tea break, he complained to his deputy. The deputy said a few words of comfort, and went out for a walk. It had been rumored before that the neighboring government offices also knew about it, and just after the lunch break, the East Palace sent someone to ask Ye Guogong for details.

It's not that Bai Kou is worthy of their attention, but the nature of the killer's killing in the street has attracted their attention. Otherwise, if the killer succeeds at that time, Bai Kou is dead, and the purse is lost, and the case file is at most a thief murdering for money , No one would think that it was the killer who did it.

It's just that Bai Kou didn't die, so this matter was spread out under the sun, and the appearance of a killer in the capital is a very nervous thing, and the defense of the capital happens to be under the control of the prince, so it is natural to ask questions.

The Duke of the State was waiting for the East Palace to ask, and told them a detail that was not disclosed to the outside world. The murder weapon was left behind by the killer when he fled.

After the two parties agreed, they made an appointment the next day to come to collect the evidence and send the imperial physician to examine Bai Kou's injuries.

Shi Tianqi, who was sitting at home, received a letter from a friend in the afternoon, telling her that the tea room she had reserved was cancelled, because Bai Kou was assassinated and had to recuperate for a month after being injured and unable to cook. Use that money to find another place to have fun.

Shi Tianqi was also taken aback. He never expected that the matter of Bai Kou's injury would be revealed with such great fanfare. The whole capital would know about it. In a few days, everyone in the world would believe that Bai Kou's attack must be related to She saved the emperor's grandson during the Chinese New Year, and the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill people, but failed. Otherwise, she, a small official and servant, would not be worthy of sending a killer to the street, let alone ordinary people who can afford to hire a killer.

Thinking of the most likely reactions of the world, Shi Tianqi couldn't help regretting his recklessness. He only thought about Bai Kou's death, but never thought about the consequences in case of failure. Besides, those people were handed over by his grandmother. The trust in the foreign grandmother is naturally because he believes in their skills. What's more, he is dealing with a little girl like Bai Kou, so he never considered the possibility of missing.

Shi Tianqi was sitting in her room, holding the letter in her hand, frowning, because she didn't expect the assassination to fail, so she didn't prepare for the follow-up caused by it in advance, and she was sulking with herself.
