After Lu Ping came back, he changed his clothes and hurried to Qinghui Courtyard. He stood under the eaves and paced back and forth. His breathing was slightly rapid, and his face was not very pretty. When he saw Bai Qingyan surrounded by maids,
When Zhong entered the courtyard gate, he hurriedly greeted her, cupped his fists and saluted: "Big girl..."
Bai Qingyan glanced sideways at Chuntao, who knowingly handed the umbrella to Lu Ping and stood still with the other girls.
Lu Ping held an umbrella to protect Bai Qingyan and walked to the ginkgo tree in the courtyard to close the umbrella. Bai Qingyan turned around and looked at Lu Ping: "Uncle Ping, please speak."
Lu Ping's throat rolled, and after exhaling a breath of white mist, he knelt down on one knee: "Big girl... please forgive me, big girl!"
Her hand holding the stove suddenly tightened, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "Uncle Ping, get up first."
Lu Ping stood up and looked at Bai Qing guiltily: "Today at the gate of Zui'anfang, King Liang was stabbed and stabbed several times... He was seriously injured! I was going to come back before Jingzhao Yin sealed the road, but I met someone with a body full of
An old friend of Xue! After bringing him back to the house, we found out that he was actually one of the assassins! Lu Ping begs for mercy!"
Lupine said and knelt down again.
Bai Qingyan gently rubbed the hand stove with his fingers, and his blood boiled because Lu Ping said, "The injury is extremely serious." If Prince Liang died this time, it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
Her heartbeat was extremely fast, and she leaned over to help Lu Ping up: "Where will Uncle Ping place this person now?"
"Backyard woodshed." Lu Ping was ashamed of causing trouble to the Zhenguo government, and his face was extremely ugly. "Now that Jingzhao Yin has closed the city, Lu Ping dare not send people out of the house rashly. Lu Ping is careless, please forgive me."
Girl, punish me!"
As he said this, Lu Ping was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Bai Qingyan.
"Anyway, everyone has been brought back. It's useless to apologize. We still have to think about how to deal with the consequences." Bai Qingyan's eyes were dark and bottomless.
Bai Qingyan stood under the tree for a moment and said, "Uncle Ping, take me to have a look."
She wanted to find out why King Liang was assassinated. If she could get any evidence against King Liang, she could set up a roadblock on his way to heaven.
Furthermore, Bai Qingyan can only judge whether this person can stay after he has seen the person who assassinated King Liang.
Bai Qingyan only took Chuntao with him, and braved the snow with Lu Ping to the backyard woodshed, but there was no one in the woodshed except for a pool of blood.
Staring at the drag marks on the muddy ground, Bai Qingyan glanced at the piles of firewood: "The knight is protected by my Bai family, why should he avoid it?"
Chuntao's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously stepped forward and raised her arms to protect Bai Qingyan behind her, her eyes full of vigilance.
Bai Qingyan patted Chuntao's hand and told her to put it down. Since the man hiding behind the firewood was discovered, he did not hide it and pushed the firewood in front of him.
The man sitting next to him had half his face covered in condensed blood, making his face even more pale. He was dressed in black clothes and was seriously injured and weak, but he had a vicious aura all over his body.
Bai Qingyan remained calm on the surface, but her hand clenched tightly on the stove.
The assassin Lu Ping rescued turned out to be Qin Shangzhi, the future adviser to the prince. However, in his previous life, Qin Shangzhi could not gain the trust of the prince, so he could not use his great talents, and he died in depression!
Qin Shangzhi looked Bai Qingyan up and down and sneered: "How do you plan to deal with me, the assassin, and ask for credit from King Liang?"
"Qin Shangzhi!" Lu Ping scolded.
She raised her hand to signal Lu Ping not to be upset: "How do knights know that I am the eldest girl of the Bai family?"
Qin Shangzhi chuckled, showing his bloody white teeth, and sat back casually: "If Lu Ping can be respectful, he must be the master of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. All the daughters of the Zhenguo Duke's family are martial arts practitioners and have good health. In the cold winter months,
A thin cotton shirt can keep out the cold, and a girl like her wearing a high-quality fox fur cloak... I'm afraid it can only be a big girl who was injured in the battlefield with the Duke in the early years!"
"Can the knight tell me why he assassinated King Liang?" Bai Qingyan asked.
"Prince Liang, shouldn't he die?!" Qin Shangzhi's black eyes were full of hatred, like a bonfire burning on the grassland before dawn, enough to start a prairie fire. "Pretending to be submissive and fearful, he secretly formed cliques and favoritism, neglected his duties and was corrupt.
What a waste of life! To force us to serve him, he killed our wives, children and family, cough cough cough cough..."
Qin Shangzhi coughed up blood when he was so excited. He covered his heart tightly and looked up at Bai Qingyan with a sneer: "Poor you, the Bai family is full of loyal people. They are as loyal as the watchdogs of the Jin Dynasty. Not long after,
, I’m afraid that I will end up with my family being ruined and my family being destroyed!”
"You are so presumptuous!" Chuntao said angrily, "Young lady, don't listen to his crazy words. You should let Lu Pingnuo send the person to the government!"
"Just follow the eldest lady's orders!" Although Lu Ping couldn't bear it, he couldn't really bring trouble to the Zhenguo Palace.
Listening to Qin Shangzhi's words, Bai Qingyan was shocked in her heart. It turned out that... Qin Shangzhi could have foreseen the fate of the Bai family at this time.
Thinking of what Xiao Rongyan, the regent of Dayan, said about Qin Shangzhi in his previous life, Bai Qingyan made up his mind in a flash.
She handed the stove in her hand to Chuntao and took two steps towards Qin Shangzhi.
"Big girl!" Chuntao was worried.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyan actually knelt down and bowed respectfully to Qin Shangzhi. Qin Shangzhi also seemed to be shocked and didn't understand what Bai Qingyan was going to do. He held the corners of his clothes tightly with his hands.
"Big...big girl!" Lu Ping was at a loss.
"Sir, since he knows the loyalty of my Bai family and foresees that our Bai family is in trouble, I dare to ask you to teach me how the Bai family can save itself?"
Bai Qingyan looked upright and upright. He was not annoyed by Qin Shangzhi's words. Instead, he was unusually calm, as if he had already known what Qin Shangzhi said.
Qin Shangzhi was now rescued by the Bai family. It was not Qin Shangzhi's style to not repay kindness. He pursed his lips and said, "Looking at the eldest girl's reaction, I should have foreseen this. There is no need for Qin to say anything more! Qin just said...
...If you want to protect the Bai family, the Duke of Zhenguo must retreat."
"The myth of the Bai family army's invincibility has been displeased by today's emperor! The Zhenguo's style is upright and loyal, and he has had a long-standing grudge with the sycophants in the court! People talk about gold, but accumulation of gold and bones! Today's emperor can no longer tolerate high achievements.
The lord has conquered the country. If... the prince does not retreat this time, the seventeenth son of the Bai family will probably lose all his power in southern Xinjiang."
Every word of Qin Shangzhi's words exactly fulfilled the fate of the seventeenth and second sons of the Bai family who were killed in southern Xinjiang in the previous life.
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes to look at Qin Shangzhi and shuddered, "Now?!"
In her last life, Bai Qingyan never thought that she would be displeased with the Bai family today. The Bai family has been loyal and upright for generations, upright and upright!
As Qin Shangzhi said, the Bai family is full of loyal people, as loyal as the watchdogs of the Jin Dynasty!
Public opinion makes gold, but accumulation destroys bones?!
She tightened her palms and grasped the light in her mind for a moment.
"Thank you sir for teaching me!" Bai Qingyan bowed again.
Chuntao hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Qingyan up, only to hear Bai Qingyan say: "Uncle Ping, it's a good idea to accommodate Mr. Qin."
Lu Ping responded gratefully: "Lu Ping accepts the order!"
