The Black Sheep (The Black Horse) - Chapter 63
In the same morning, Huang Youbi rushed for his life on Gaoyou Street, while Wen Tao turned over from the back wall, landed directly in the courtyard of the neighboring house, and escaped.
Although Wen Tao could stay and follow the officials who came to arrest him to the palace, the old butler dispelled his thoughts with a few words.
“The leader of the gang died for no reason. Someone in the gang incited a raid on the official office, and there was a premeditated plan. Even if the leader of the gang has a hundred mouths, you will not be able to tell for a while. As long as you enter the cell, you may never be convicted of the crime again. Can’t wash it off!”
Wen Tao was impulsive, bold and righteous. He had never faced such a situation before. When he was moved by the old butler’s words, he suddenly showed infinite courage in the midst of grief and anger.
After he escaped, the old butler did not hesitate to tell the young man to open the door, and looked at the official with a stunned look: “Our young housekeeper ordered someone to attack the official office? How could it be possible?”
The salt gang has always had a harmonious relationship with the local government office, and there are hidden interests in it. However, once Wen Bao passed away, the king of Zhou looked at him and became an official office. He did not dare to be private and could only detain Wen Bao. The veteran housekeeper and a part of the gang interrogated carefully, and always made an unselfish official-like article, so that it would be good for Zhou Wang to deal with each other.
Zhao Wujiu came to the south of the Yangtze River. His whereabouts were secret and his methods were gentle. The officials who knew that he was here could not help but secretly guess that he was depressed. Most of it was related to his current physical condition. I need a wheelchair, and I can’t go on the battlefield in this life, and my mood is mostly down.
However, within half a month, His Royal Highness King Zhou let the officials of Lianghuai see his thunderous methods and killed a river of blood, which is frightening. I don’t know how many officials of the Huaihe River have not yet been liquidated. I am afraid that the next moment will happen. His Royal Highness King Zhou led his troops to his own territory, but there were still people who went missing.
Bai Shiqi was lethargic for a few days, and when he woke up, the officialdom of Lianghuai changed.
She has made private visits over the years, and even led people to clean up the river on the canal. She is used to seeing the darkness of official collusion. Sometimes she has nowhere to complain. She can’t wait to clean up the dirty air, and see you when she wakes up. When the beard and stubborn King Zhou stood by the bed, he heard Shu Changfeng come to report the progress of the bandit, and even when he had auditory hallucinations.
“…How many people were killed?”
Shu Changfeng didn’t care: “I have all the important witnesses, and only some insignificant ones are killed. It’s just that these people have a lot of lives on their hands. There will always be more than 200 people.”
“Water Bandit?”
Shu Changfeng looked weird: “It’s a water bandit, not a water bandit.”
Bai Shiqi difficultly took a mouthful of his chapped lips: “What… mean?”
His Royal Highness Zhou took the opportunity to help her get up, and patiently fed her a sip of warm water with a small spoon. The gentle and virtuous seemed to have nothing to do with him who ordered the murder, and the most important thing before him was to take care of Bai Shiqi.
Seeing that his master had no intention of explaining, he could only explain on his behalf: “The master has sent people to search for the whereabouts of the water bandits. He also sent people to stare at local officials and the clan, and found that someone had woven a net in Jiangnan, even the salt gang. The people in this group were all involved and served him. And behind this group of water bandits is a backing master who ransacked the past business travelers and used the water bandits to exclude dissidents, even court officials dare to attack.” Yu Ang is the best. example of.
“Who is so capable? Is it the Governor of Salt Road?”
Shu Changfeng smiled and said, “Huaiyang Hou Zongheng.”
The Governor of Salt Road can take money out of his pocket openly. I don’t know how much money is coming. The filial piety below can’t be exhausted. Why take this risky trick?
On the contrary, the Huaiyang Marquis has no real power, but they have lived an extravagant life these years. If you want to maintain such a life, how can you maintain it without finding other ways to get money?
Hearing this, the pain of Bai Shiqi’s wound has alleviated a lot: “…Is that Zong Heng who has a feud with Old Man Huang? His son Zong Feng has a strange habit?”
His Majesty Zhou’s face that had been gloomy for several days finally showed a slight smile. He fed Bai Shiqi several sips of water and smiled: “You are right, it is the Huaiyang Marquis.”
The investigation of this Huaiyang Hou was nothing but a piggyback, and he was still in return for Huang Youbi’s salvation. Who would have expected such a big surprise to be found.
According to the original clues, I can only slowly piece together the reasons for the flood of bandits in the two Huai Rivers, but after checking both ends, it is not difficult to find that it is tricky.
Bai Shiqi was pleased to sit up abruptly, and unexpectedly stretched to the wound, grinning with pain, but grinning strangely: “This good news must be told to old man Huang!”
In recent days, Zhao Wujiu has been busy cleaning up the water bandits, the Yan Gang and local officials in Yancheng. The people under his hands have been scattered, and he has not sent anyone to stare at Bo Zhenting, so he does not know about Gaoyou.
At this moment, His Royal Highness Zhou supported Bai Shiqi’s shoulders and stuffed the person back into the quilt. He also tucked the corner of the quilt for her. His eyes were painful that he had never felt before: “You should have a flirtatious temper. After the change, the injuries were so severe, almost…” He paused for a while, and finally said, “Don’t worry, when you recover from the injury, tell Mr. Huang the good news personally.”
If it weren’t for Zhu Shoumei’s whereabouts, there was a long waterway away from Yancheng, and the Clippers carried people back and forth to save lives, I’m afraid Bai Shiqi would really not be able to sustain it.
Zhu Shoumei finished the medicine and brought it in. Seeing Bai Shiqi wake up, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, handed the medicine to Zhao Wujiu sternly, and turned her head away.
Bai Seventeen: “Hey thin plum——”
Zhu Shoumei did not look back.
Bai Seventeen: “…”
Zhao Wujiu smiled a bit on his face, and raised the pillow for her: “Come and drink the medicine.” Feed her spoonfuls.
Shu Changfeng was afraid that he would hinder the master’s affairs if he stayed, so he hurriedly withdrew after reporting serious matters.
During the period of Bai Shiqi’s injury, Zhu Shoumei almost became invisible, except that when the pulse was prescribed and the medicine came in, the two had met several times, and he seemed to ignore him. Seventeen couldn’t figure it out, and wanted to ask him several times, but it was a pity that Zhu Shoumei saved her life and didn’t take care of her.
Shu Changfeng keeps his feet on the ground every day, and every time he sees Bai Shiqi’s gloomy eyes, he feels a little bit pity for this little helper who is kept in the dark.
I still remember that Zhu Shoumei was seriously injured that day when he heard that Bai was seventeen. With a pale face, he was taken over to treat the wounds that had been bandaged by His Royal Highness Zhou. At that time, when he drove out his master, he said: “There is a difference between men and women. His Royal Highness Zhou avoided.”
I don’t know that my master opened his eyes and said nonsense: “Dr. Zhu’s words are not correct. The boss of the Boss has already allocated seventeen promises to me. She and I are unmarried couples. What can I avoid?”
Zhu Shoumei seemed to be smashed in the head, and she was silly on the spot: “You are talking nonsense!”
Shu Changfeng has always been his own master, but he never knew that he was a good hand for telling lies. He actually pulled out a piece of jade pendant from Bai Shiqi’s waist and showed it to Zhu Shoumei: “This is the king’s personal jade pendant. It is the thing of our determination, Dr. Zhu will not believe it and see.”
Zhu Shoumei tremblingly looked at the wound, she seemed to feel prickly when she glanced at the jade pendant more.
Under the Zhouwang Palace, he stuffed his close-fitting jade pendant under the pillow of Bai Seventeen, and grievedly squeezed the hand of Bai Seventeen who was in a coma, fearing that Zhu Shoumei would not be enough to say: “We were going to wait for this. After wading the water, the bandits got married and got married, but she didn’t know she was injured.”
Shu Changfeng opened his mouth wide, and stood behind them dumbly, thinking that Doctor Zhu would suffer a straightforward loss.
If he pays more attention to it, and talks to the guys on the boat, or chats with Zhao Ziheng, he will know that the jade pendant of your Royal Highness is not something of affection, but the prize that Bai Shiqi won on the boat. .
The crooked hit is on the right, letting His Highness use the topic.
On the one hand, Shu Changfeng secretly wondered if his master had known Bai Seventeen’s clues, but at the same time, he felt that his doubts were a bit ridiculous—the master knew that Bai Shiqi was a woman, and that was something later.
In this way, is it a heavenly marriage?
He guessed in his heart, but didn’t have the time to rest. Seeing the master put on a posture rooted in the seventeenth room of Bai, he could only convey all the orders one time.
Within a few days, it was spread everywhere, saying that the Cao Gang leader Bai Zhenting was killed by the enemy, and the Cao Gang young leader Bai Shiqi was a woman. Her identity was revealed and she did not dare to show her face. Chaos.
Disturbing one after another, all kinds of rumors are clamoring, and it’s hard to stop.
