Man Bao subconsciously raised his head to take a look at Tao Yi, but looked past him and saw a woman leaning against the door of the cell. She was covered in wounds and was looking at the bun in Bai Shan's hand with her eyes wide open.
Man Bao pointed at her and asked, "Then what did she commit?"
Tao Yi turned to look at her, frowned and then his expression softened, and after a while he said, "Kill your husband."
He paused and then said: "Her husband had a bad habit of beating people, and then she poisoned him to death. This was a serious crime and she was sentenced to beheading."
Man Bao and Bai Shan were stunned for a moment.
Bai Shan followed her gaze and looked at the other paper bag in his arms, then handed it to Man Bao, who took it and walked forward to stuff it to her.
The woman was stunned, subconsciously hugged the paper bag, and looked up at Man Bao.
Man Bao smiled at her and turned back to Bai Shan.
Ba Bo became dissatisfied and said: "Hey, isn't this for me? Why are you giving it to others indiscriminately?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "That bag was originally bought for us to eat. Mr. Ba, there are five in this bag. Isn't it enough for you?"
Babu's eyes were a little sinister, but there was a smile on his face, and he said with a slightly silly voice: "That's enough, aren't I thinking about tomorrow?"
Just hearing this voice would easily make people feel good, but at this moment Bai Shan was still squatting on the ground and staring at his face. When he saw the look in his eyes, he felt a chill in his heart.
However, his smile did not show, but he smiled and said: "Tomorrow we will visit our companions, and we will bring you some steamed buns by the way."
Ba Bo said: "Then don't fool me with buns like this anymore. The buns your family usually gives you are much more delicious than this one."
Man Bao couldn't help but squat down to look at the buns he was eating, and said blankly: "It's so meaty."
Ba Bo ate up the buns in his hands in several bites, and finally stuffed a large handful and said, "But the taste is a bit different."
Bai Shan's eyes deepened slightly, and he nodded with a smile, "No problem, I will send you homemade buns tomorrow. By the way, Mr. Ba, did our friend sleep well last night?"
Bapu leaned against the cell door and asked with a smile, "Why, you didn't go over to see them?"
Bai Shan smiled lightly and said, "Can't Master Ba tell whether we are going or not?"
Ba Bo was slightly startled, and looked up at Bai Shan. Knowing that he was seeing someone, he felt that he had underestimated him because of his young age. He smiled and quickly realized what he was doing. He touched his head with his big greasy hands and said with a smile:
"Yes, you didn't go. I vaguely heard someone say that the higher-ups don't allow people to go in to visit them anymore."
Bai Shanxiao asked, "Besides, what else did you hear?"
Babu's eyes turned slightly and he glanced at the looming shadow at the entrance of the cell. He smiled as usual and said: "What else is going on? Just some rustling little noises. You two are the only ones who like to talk there."
A little bit, well, now that you guys are out, Mr. Ba, I will be quite lonely."
Bai Shan didn't notice his hidden gaze, but Man Bao was a doctor, so she noticed.
Man Bao turned slightly and looked at the entrance of the cell, seeing darkness and seemingly nothing there.
Behind Man Bao, the female prisoner leaned on the wooden fence, reached out and took out a bun, smelled it, glanced at the shadow at the entrance, then lowered her head and slowly started to eat it.
Bai Shan couldn't ask anything from Ba Bo, so he was not in a hurry. After chatting for a while, he left.
Tao Yi sent the two of them to the door, waved weakly and said: "It's an unlucky day. If you are fine, you better not come here. Let the servants do the work of delivering things."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "We have already lived there, are we still worried about the bad luck of staying here for just a short while? Anyway, we have nothing to do at home now, so we might as well come here to see our friends. Mr. Tao, Brother Saturday's cooking
It’s delicious. Would you like to bring some for you tomorrow?”
Tao Yi fell silent.
He is much tired than Bai Shan and the others. Since the Queen Mother's birthday party, he has been staying here twelve hours a day. Except for occasionally sneaking time to run home to wash up, he has eaten and stayed here. He is already tired.
However, Bai Shan's food seems to be quite good.
Seeing his silence, Bai Shan took it as his acquiescence, smiled, said goodbye to him, and pulled Man Bao into the car.
As soon as the car curtain was lowered, the smile on Bai Shan's face fell, and Man Bao's dull expression also fell. Both of them were a little frustrated.
The carriage started running gurglingly. When it was far away, Bai Shancai said: "Bapu lied to us."
Man Bao looked worried, "They won't torture Xiang Mingxue, right?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and shook his head, "No, the ones presiding over the trial now are Mr. Wei and Mr. Old Tang. They are not people who can torture to extract confessions, and Xiang Mingxue has nothing to hide from them."
He lowered his voice and said, "I suspect they moved Xiang Mingxue?"
"Why?" Man Bao was confused.
Bai Shan muttered: "In order to protect their safety, Xiang Mingxue's situation is different from ours. He assassinated King Yizhou. I'm afraid the King of Yizhou wanted to kill him more than us. It's also possible that Xiang Mingxue wanted to kill him."
What other secrets does Xue know?"
Man Bao thought about it, "So you want to hide it from even us? Then will we still come tomorrow?"
Bai Shan nodded fiercely and said decisively: "Come on, if it is for Xiang Mingxue's safety, then what if we accompany them in this scene?"
Man Bao nodded, "Anyway, we have nothing to do recently."
Bai Shan nodded again, "That's right."
They really had nothing to do. Bai Shanbian and Bai Erlang went to the Imperial Academy early this morning. Then Kong Jijiu met him in person and granted him a long leave, asking him to have a good rest at home and recuperate.
To nourish a body broken by imprisonment.
Bai Shan, who had gained a little weight and had a rosy complexion, silently accepted the leave note.
Kong Jijiu obviously saw his physical condition and was a little unwilling to accept it. So before he left, he also invited the gentlemen from Class A and Class 3 to temporarily assign a bunch of homework to Bai Shan and wrote him a letter.
She gave him a book list and asked him to go back and read those texts.
But the terrible thing is that he has read and memorized most of the texts listed by the gentlemen.
However, out of a very secretive mentality at that time, Bai Shan did not tell Kong Jijiu and the gentlemen, but quietly collected the book list and assigned homework and left.
This made Kong Jijiu and the other gentlemen very satisfied with him. Wu Xueguan, who had never liked him very much, even sent him to the entrance of the Imperial College and patted his shoulder with a look of relief.
Although there seemed to be a lot of homework assigned, Bai Shan compared it to his own vacation and found that it would be very boring.
The two of them sat in the carriage and looked at each other. Manbao raised the curtains and took a look outside. He saw that it was not very far from Jishi Hall. It was just a short walk away. He immediately said: "Daji, let's go to Jishi Hall first."
"
"Why are you going to Jishi Hall? Didn't you already go there once this morning and grab all the medicine you need?"
Man Bao said: "Since we have to go to the prison tomorrow, I will bring some ointment to the female prisoner."
