Chapter 924, If I don’t die, the Bai family will not die!

When Bai Zhijing stopped, Bai Pojue took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, grandpa." Bai Pojue said. This result was within his expectation.

Killing one's own cousin has been taboo in all dynasties. No matter what reasons or excuses he had, it was still difficult to conceal the fact that he killed someone.

Besides, all reasons can be invented, all excuses can be made - some people will believe it, some people will not believe it. Take this murder as an example, Bai Canpu's father will believe that he was forced to kill himself because of self-defense.

Killer?

No.

They will remember this blood feud on themselves, but they don't know when the hatred will break out and bear fruit.

He knew that the old man would punish him, whether it was to cover up his truth through superficial work or to vent his inner sadness, he needed to push himself out as a scapegoat.

This punishment was lighter than he imagined, much lighter. He even thought that he would be imprisoned and returned to his old house to be served by his family.

That's why he took the initiative to say thank you after being beaten. Thank you sincerely. Because he knew that his grandfather didn't want to do anything to him.

In other words, grandpa understood the pain in his heart and understood his compulsion to do this.

"With grandpa's understanding, everything you do is worth it." Bai Pojue thought in his heart.

"Why do you want to kill him?" Bai Zhijing said in a low and weak voice with his back to Bai Pojue.

He was also so fragile and helpless when faced with the death of a loved one.

When he was young, he thought that nothing in this world was impossible.

Now, he finally faced this unacceptable fact.

"I never thought about killing him." Bai Pojue's face showed pain. Whether it was true or false, he needed to show the emotion he wanted to see in front of his grandfather. No old man wanted to see it.

After his own grandson killed another grandson, he still looked sarcastic and gloated.

"I drove here to see him, hoping to have a good talk with him. I didn't even let the bodyguards in - I hoped he could go with me to see Qin Luo. Let's explain things clearly in person. Qin Luo looks

In my face, I would not embarrass him too much. But he was too excited - I shot him in the thigh. I thought he would compromise and know that I was talking to him seriously.

.”

After Bai Pojue said this, he fell silent, as if there was a sadness that made it difficult for him to speak.

"Go on," Bai Zhijing said in a hoarse voice. "Whether it's the truth or a lie you told me, I need a complete story."

Bai Poju raised his head and glanced at his grandfather's stern side face, and then continued: "He said that I didn't treat him as a brother, that I was not qualified to be the head of the family, and that he should either let him go or let him die - I didn't let him

He had the ability to die. He had arranged for me to die. He had already arranged people in the side room of the study. After getting his order, they rushed out and wanted to kill me - he hated me very much."

Bai Zhijing squeezed a triangular piece of broken ice in his hand and made a crunching sound. Melted ice water overflowed from the gaps between his fingers. He said in a buzzing voice: "In this case, why is he the one who died?

"

Bai Poji knew that his grandfather would ask him this question, or in other words, before his grandfather came, he had already reasoned out all the answer processes in his mind countless times. Every possibility and every doubtful point was thought over and over by him.

, come up with the most appropriate and least suspicious answer.

"Because of Li Wei," Bai Pojue said. "Li Wei happened to come in. He saw our brothers killing each other and persuaded us in the middle, so I got a chance - Li Wei is outside. Grandpa can call him in to ask. He is

The old people of the Bai family do not dare and will not deceive grandpa."

Bai Pojue didn't use the word 'interrogation', which would make it sound like Li Wei followed him and made a mistake. He used 'question', thus removing Li Wei from the matter.

.

"Do you think I would ask an outsider about this kind of thing?" Bai Zhijing suddenly turned around, his hazy eyes flashing with a captivating light. "Bai Poji, do you think I'm an old fool?"

"————" Bai Poju didn't dare to answer. He didn't know how to answer either.

"I understand the character of Zuan Pu. He is smart in small ways but stupid in big ways. I believe you when you say that he is unwilling to go with you to see the boy named Qin. I also believe when you say that he is ambushing people in the dark. You say that he wants to kill you.

I don't believe it at all - Broke, I know you too. In the past I was always worried that you were too

Renhou doesn't understand that using a knife in the dark will lead to losses, so I prefer to leave many things to Zanpu. Only now do I feel relieved. There is nothing that you can't do in vain - you hide in front of me.

After so many years, are you afraid that this is the day?"

Bai Pojue didn't say anything. He knew that he didn't need to speak. Talking more and quibbling at this time would only make the old man even more angry and do things that no one could predict.

Now, the situation is still under his control. Including Mr. Bai's reaction.

"The first shot you shot at the injured person's thigh was not to make him believe that you were talking to him seriously. You were doing it so that he could explain to others after he died. You can say that I warned him with the first shot, otherwise

, why don’t I kill him directly - Li Wei is the spy you have arranged for him for many years? Canpu asked my opinion when he wanted to choose Li Wei as the housekeeper, and I agreed. Unexpectedly, even I

I also took a wrong look."

Bai Poju stood there in silence, looking at his nose and his nose, like an obedient primary school student.

"Zanpu is dead, and you probably won't take his little property seriously. You are now the only third-generation heir of the Bai family, and I can't do anything to you - now, your goals have been achieved.

Alright?"

"Grandpa, maybe I have my own selfish motives. But everything I do is for the Bai family." Bai Pojue finally spoke. When he said this, he bravely raised his eyes and looked directly at Bai.

The endless scrutinizing eyes collided with each other, but they did not give in.

"I believe you are doing it for the Bai family." Bai Zhijing said. "But is it worth it? Do you know that you are pushing yourself into a desperate situation? A person who dares to kill even his own brothers will be in danger in the future.

Who dares to do business with you? How can you explain it to your second uncle, second sister-in-law and the rest of the family?"

After a pause, Bai Zhijing asked in a solemn voice: "Do you know that you are alone now?"

"I know." Bai Poju said stubbornly. "But the Bai family needs a murder knife."

"Bastard." Bai Zhijing cursed loudly. "I would rather make this knife than have you do this kind of thing with your own hands. Damn it, I'm old. I have been scolded and hated all my life.

It doesn't matter if you do something righteous and annihilate your relatives. But you are still young, and you are now shouldering the responsibility of revitalizing the Bai family - your reputation is ruined, what will the Bai family do in the future? "

"What if we lose Qin Luo's trust?" Bai Pojue asked back. "Qin Luo met with me some time ago and asked me to help investigate Bai Canpu. The reason why he asked me to investigate is because he still trusts me.

And he didn’t want the matter to escalate into a conflict between the Bai family and the Wenren family. But after the fire in the flower field, he lost his trust in me. He also sent people to follow Zanpu around - "

"I know that if I don't give him an explanation, he will blame all the things that Can Pu has done on the Bai family. He will think that we are in the same group with him, and what Can Pu has done is

We acquiesced. Zanpu is in too deep, and we can’t save it even if we want to. If Qin Luo knew about these things, I’m afraid he wouldn’t give up even if I was there to smooth things over. The Bai family can’t afford to fall now, so do

As the head of the Bai family, I will not allow it to fall again."

Bang!

Bai Zhijing slapped the ice cubes on the iron bed, causing ice shards to fly and splash on the person's body, causing burning pain.

Although Bai Pojue's face was hit by ice chips, he did not move, letting the cold pain keep him awake.

This is just the beginning, there are many more things to come.

"It's Qin Luo again - it's Qin Luo again." Bai Zhijing roared and shouted. "When did he become so powerful and make you all afraid like this? Who has my son from the Bai family been afraid of? Who has he been afraid of?

Come?"

"Grandpa, we are not afraid of anyone." Bai Poju straightened his spine and said. "But this is not a war. It is to make money. It is not to show pride, but to make the Bai family prosperous. Qin Luo is not scary, on the contrary,

He is our closest ally now - if the Bai family doesn't have even one ally, they will really be alone."

Bai Pojue looked Bai Zhijing directly in the eyes and said, "If I kill my brother, others will fear that I am ruthless. If the Bai family is annexed by others, others will accuse me of being stupid and incompetent - I chose the former."

Bai Zhijing stared at Bai Pojue, and Bai Pojue's eyes stared at him unblinkingly.

It was freezing in the ice cave, but the old man and the young man didn't feel cold at all.

After a long time, Bai Zhijing patted Bai Pojue on the shoulder and said, "Zanpu is no longer here, and the Bai family is relying on you."
