Collect a Corpse

"He was actually allowed to escape!" The prince was extremely angry. "Immediately let people block all the docks and important roads, and then surrounded the Duke Bai's palace." He quickly gave the order.

This year, the emperor went to Beijing to escape the summer heat. It was General Qin who was responsible for the security of the palace and the royal hunting ground. To be able to arrange for so many people to sneak in under his nose must be that General Qin trusted him, or he would never set up defenses.

The prince and others searched for two or three days and found Duke Bai. He and General Qin were not only good friends for many years, but also their sons and daughters. General Qin never imagined that Duke Bai would harm him.

This old fox was really calm. He knew that the prince was suspicious of him, but he didn't show any emotion at all. When he saw the prince, he greeted him as usual, and even went to visit the seriously injured General Qin.

Where was he visiting? He was clearly trying to silence him! If General Qin's personal entourage hadn't suddenly returned after being sent away, General Qin might have died in his hands. Unfortunately, he still managed to escape.

Who would have thought that Duke Bai, who always smiled at everyone, could be such a ruthless master?

Knowing who the mastermind was, the matter became easier to investigate. According to someone's explanation, their team was transferred because someone gave the order with General Qin's token. The other two teams changed defenses before it was time to change defenses.

Holding General Qin's token, they all thought there was a change in orders from above.

The key is that General Qin's token is still on him and has not been lost at all. And the guards insisted that the token they saw was genuine.

There is only one explanation, the token is counterfeit! The relationship between Bai Guogong and General Qin is so good, he should have many opportunities to get close to the token.

General Qin thought about it carefully, and something really reminded him of something. It was about a year ago. The token he always kept with him was not on him, and he found it between the bed and the wall. The night before

He happened to be drinking with Duke Bai, and both of them were drunk.

At that time, General Qin only thought that he was drunk and the token fell. Now that he thought about it, it was very problematic. He was really drunk. He was not sure whether Bai Guogong was drunk or not. The only thing that was certain was that he was tricked by Bai Guogong.

died.

He had counterfeited the token a year ago, and Duke Bai was really able to keep his composure.

There were cries in Duke Bai's palace. Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai and several unmarried ladies were all taken away by the government. Naturally, the servants in the palace were not spared either.

But the courtyard where it is said that the stupid eldest son of Lord Bai lived was empty, leaving only an old servant who was mute and deaf, and could not ask anything. The other people in the house, even the housekeeper Mrs. Bai, were very confused.

It took me a while to even remember that there was such a person in the house.

That stupid eldest son of a common concubine was not only a taboo in the entire Duke's palace, but also the embarrassment that Mrs. Bai didn't want to mention. Fortunately, he was a fool and couldn't hinder her. Even the Duke didn't care about him and left him to fend for himself.

, her aunt would not care too much.

The person is gone? How can a fool serve the people with all his heart? He might have fallen into the pond and drowned a long time ago!

Apart from the exiled Bai Youfu, the Bai family only lacked such a fool. Wen Jiuxiao, who knew the inside story, didn't believe that he drowned. He was more inclined to believe that he was taken away by Bai Guogong. Tsk tsk, I don't even want my wife and daughter.

, what a ruthless person.

Wen Jiuxiao found the entrance to a secret passage in the idiot's room, and went down to take a look. The exit of the secret passage was an ordinary house in the east of the city, which had long been empty. I heard from neighbors that a young scholar lived there, and there was only one person around him.

The old servant was waiting on him. The scholar was studying in an academy and came back once every ten days and a half. When I asked them which academy they were studying in, everyone looked at each other and no one could tell.

At this time, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong. This scholar had lived here for several years. Logically speaking, they should be familiar with him, but they didn't even know his last name. They all called him scholar. Also.

, they only knew that there was such a person, but they could not remember the scholar's appearance at all. It seemed that every time they saw him coming back from a distance, they heard his old servant say that his young master was back, lost weight, and wanted to buy something.

He has been taking some meat supplements and the like for several years, but in fact, no one has ever had any formal dealings with him.

Wen Jiuxiao searched Duke Bai's study and found several confidential letters, including letters to and from the magistrate of Dongyang County. When he saw one of the letters, Wen Jiuxiao's hands shook.

Duke Bai was more courageous than he thought. He actually dared to raise private soldiers! For a Duke to raise private soldiers, his intentions were already obvious. Raising soldiers requires a steady stream of money, so no wonder he wants to make money.

The prince and Wen Jiuxiao reported to the emperor together. Emperor Taikang had a stern face and cold eyes. If you look carefully, you will find the anger in his eyes! Good! Very good! As a minister, he dares to raise troops privately. What else does he dare not to do?

made?

Emperor Taikang only said two sentences, one was to capture Duke Bai at all costs, and the other was to send Concubine Bai into the cold palace.

"I obey the order." The prince and Wen Jiuxiao looked at each other. Indeed, Duke Bai must be captured as soon as possible and cannot be allowed to leave the capital. He has at least 10,000 private soldiers in his hands and cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain.

Yu Zhi received a letter from He Xiaodie again. The handwriting on the letter was scrawled, and it looked like it was written in a hurry. The letter said that she was going to chase Bai Guogong. Either she died or he died. If she was unlucky, please give her some money.

He collected a body and left an address.

Yu Zhi didn't wait for half a minute, and immediately left the house to find Wen Jiuxiao, "Where is this place?" she asked, pointing to the address left by He Xiaodie.

"Sent from He Xiaodie?" Wen Jiuxiao quickly scanned the contents of the letter with a very solemn expression, "This was a ferry more than ten years ago, but now it has been abandoned, and even the nearby villages have been moved away."

"You just said that the Baiguo Guild will not leave from here?"

"Yes!" Wen Jiuxiao's voice was urgent, "If you get on the boat from this place, you only need to walk a short distance to reach the Jing River. If you reach the Jing River, it will be difficult to catch up."

Most people don't know about that deserted ferry. That's why he had an acquaintance with Hu Rongkun from the Cao Gang. When he helped Hu Rongkun avoid being hunted, he took him to that deserted ferry.

"Zhizhi, you go back home first..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhi interrupted, "I'll go too." After a pause, he added, "I'm going to collect He Xiaodie's body. You see, I've even changed my clothes."

It was impossible to collect the body. As long as she was still breathing, she could still be saved!

Only then did Wen Jiuxiao notice that his Zhizhi's clothes today were a little weird. They were neither women's clothes nor men's clothes, but somewhere in between women's clothes and men's clothes. He suddenly had a headache. When he saw Yu Zhi's insistent eyes, he had to compromise, "Okay.

!”

He knew in his heart that even if he didn't agree, she would follow her secretly. Rather than doing this, it would be better to put her under his nose.
