After hearing this, Bai Shao found a chair and sat down, as if he was suddenly caught in the memories of the past.
Her silence did not last long, and then she heard her say: "Bai Shaoyuan and I are twin sisters, our surname is Tong. Although our family was not rich when we were young, our parents were loving and treated our sisters as treasures. We lived a good life.
It was quite peaceful. Later, the bully from the next village took a fancy to my mother and took my mother away while my father was working in the fields. When my father found out, he went to find my mother and never came back since then. No one in the village came back.
Seeing that we were pitiful, they adopted us. The family that adopted my sister was named Bai, so she changed her name to Bai Shao. I was adopted by the Yi family and changed my name to Yi Wu after my adoptive father. But the good times did not last long. When we were six years old,
, a large number of bandits came to the village, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, and everyone in the village died. That day I happened to invite my sister and several children from the same village to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and I survived. Later, King Ling
He led the troops to quell the chaos and saved us..."
"So you and your sister went to Prince Ling's Mansion?" Xia Houshu sighed.
Bai Shao nodded and said, "We were indeed taken in by Prince Ling, but we didn't go to Prince Ling's Mansion. As for where we went, I can't tell you."
Xia Houshu choked. She didn't expect that Yi Wu had such a cool temper, and she actually appreciated it.
However, now is not the time for sympathy. Xia Houshu coughed and reminded: "You haven't said why you exchanged identities with your sister."
Bai Shao thought for a while and continued: "Our surviving children all went to that place, eight of us in total. After arriving, my sister and I and another girl named Yaoyao were sent to learn dancing, and the other five
The boys went elsewhere and I never saw them again."
Xia Houshu realized that Bai Shao had reached the key point, so he didn't dare to interrupt and waited expectantly for her to continue.
Bai Shao seemed to have had another mental struggle. In addition, Xia Houshu's kick to the chest was not light, and her expression was a little distorted in pain. After a long while, she continued: "We were locked up in that place for ten years.
Years ago, during that period, we learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, dance and how to seduce men. Of course, we also learned how to kill people."
Xia Houshu was secretly surprised, thinking how could such a place exist? It was comparable to the dead men of the Changqing Sect. The difference was that the dead men of the Changqing Sect were said to only learn how to kill people quickly and accurately, and had never learned any music, chess, calligraphy or painting.
, let alone how to seduce men.
However, King Ling secretly established such a place. What was his intention?
Thinking of this, Xia Houshu realized that Bai Shao still hadn't explained how their sisters exchanged identities. She wanted to remind her again, but she was worried that she would be too eager and it would be counterproductive.
Bai Shao curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you whatever you want to know. As for what I can't say, even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
With her words, Xia Houshu was really not in a hurry. She secretly calculated the distance between herself and Bai Shao, then sat down on the couch and listened to her quietly.
Bai Shao then said: "We can't leave that place until we are sixteen, but our first task when we come out is to seduce an old man who is old enough to be our grandfather and make him willingly leave his family property to us. Otherwise,
We will be put to death."
Xia Houshu was startled and became more and more curious about the mystery she mentioned.
Bai Shao ignored her reaction and continued: "That old man's name is Ma Rengui. He is the owner of Majiazhuang and a local wealthy businessman. I heard that the two mountains under his name have mined gold and iron respectively.
Mines, his three sons and four daughters are all eyeing those minerals, and he doesn’t know who to give them to, and has been hesitant. And we just want to gain his trust and get the property, how difficult it is!"
It is indeed difficult! Xia Houshu sighed in his heart. Not to mention that the old man surnamed Ma has many children. Even if he has no children and can become a wealthy businessman, he is not an ordinary person. How can he willingly give up the family fortune and wealth that he has earned?
The property is handed over to a woman of unknown origin?
Bai Shao didn't notice the change in Xia Houshu's expression, and continued to recall: "At that time, my sister and I were both known as Bai Shao to the outside world, and we were regarded as the same person. We were mainly responsible for hooking up with the Ma brothers and instigating the relationship between them. Yaoyao
long
She was handsome and gentle, which Ma Rengui liked, so she was responsible for getting close to please Ma Rengui. But Yaoyao was timid, and soon showed her flaws, which aroused Ma Rengui's suspicion. In order to save Yaoyao, we had to take a risk and kill Ma Rengui.
They forged a suicide note and asked Ma Rengui to leave his property to Yaoyao. But the Ma brothers were not fools. They not only tore up the suicide note in public, but also took off Yaoyao's clothes in public. Yaoyao couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by biting her tongue."
Xia Houshu was shocked again. No wonder the information she had found before showed that there had never been a girl named Yi Wu in Lingdu. It turned out that the sisters shared the name of their sister Bai Shao. But in order to complete the task as soon as possible, the sisters dared to conspire
It seems that those who killed Ma Rengui were ruthless people!
In order to avenge their father, the Ma brothers forced the girl named Yaoyao to death...
It's really retribution.
Bai Shaogu smiled to herself and added: "Yao Yao grew up with us, endured hardships and hardships together, and has been as close as sisters through life and death. When she died, my sister and I lost a relative, so we both decided to hurry up as soon as possible.
To complete the mission, I will not hesitate to kill the Ma brothers."
"Ma Rengui is a cunning woman, but his sons are not as thoughtful as he is. Under the instigation of our sisters, they soon fell into internal strife and started killing each other." She said this with a smile on her face.
The smile became even thicker, "But this is exactly what my sister and I want to see."
Xia Houshu did not answer the call. After all, she did not approve of what the Tong sisters did.
Bai Shao continued: "When the Ma family brothers were fighting to the death, my sister claimed to be pregnant with Ma family Dalang's child, and then deliberately argued with the stubborn Ma Sanlang, letting Ma Dalang see Masanlang taking her off the steps.
He fell down and spun his tire. He hated his son forever, so Ma Dalang turned around and called for someone to beat Ma Sanlang to a disability, barely saving his life. When Ma Erlang came back, I pretended to be his sister.
, told him that I was actually pregnant with his child, but Ma Dalang had no children, so he forced me to give birth to an heir for him, to help him secure his position as the eldest son and grandson, and to take charge of all the property of the Ma family. Ma Erlang naturally did not believe it.
But I just used a little trick to let him see that Ma Dalang changed his usual loving attitude after his sister slipped, and started to fight with fists and kicks, so he softened his heart."
Xia Houshu couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Who among them won in the end?"
Bai Shao smiled and said, "Of course my sister and I won."
Xia Houshu:......
Bai Shao smiled and shed tears: "In order to protect my innocence, my sister went back and forth between the three brothers of the Ma family and suffered humiliation. So after my sister and I got the property of the Ma family, we burned it.
Majiazhuang, everything was reduced to ashes. Later, King Ling invited me to perform a dance at Prince Ling’s Mansion, but deliberately did not let my sister go with him. My sister was thoughtful and found out that King Ling wanted to entertain Prime Minister Wang, and also heard that Prime Minister Wang
Being a romantic by nature, I guessed the intention of Prince Ling. My sister was worried that I would be humiliated if I went, so she went in my place. Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wang actually took advantage of the situation and took my sister back to the capital."
Xia Houshu silently lamented in his heart that these two sisters had such a deep love for each other. He sympathized with them for their many misfortunes, but he had to lament that their methods were vicious and decisive. They were really good knives!
It's a pity that this knife is in the hand of King Ling.
However, after she thought about it, Xia Houshu was probably able to connect what happened next. It was simply that in order to protect his sister, the real Bai Shao voluntarily pretended to be his sister Yi Wu and committed herself to the powerful Wang Chonghou, and was brought back
In the capital, she was lurking in the Prime Minister's Mansion as an internal agent. But the real Yi Wu lived in the name of her sister, and ended up becoming Yu Wenke's woman by some strange combination of circumstances.
Xia Houshu looked at Bai Shao and asked, "Should I call you Yi Wu or Bai Shao now?"
"Bai Shao." Bai Shao said thoughtfully, "My sister died with the name Yi Wu, so I will live on my behalf."
Xia Houshu nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "So, Miss Baishao, do you know how your sister died?"
This time Bai Shao looked at her in surprise and asked, "Aren't you always checking her up?"
Xia Houshu thought for a while and said, "Let me put it another way. How did you know that I was checking up on your sister?"
Bai Shao looked at her doubtfully, and then said for a long time: "I
Of course I have my own way."
"Okay." Xia Houshu knew that he couldn't get the answer. After thinking for a while, he added, "Yinxiang told me that your sister seemed to have been poisoned before she died, so the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly cremated her.
And I also heard that your sister had a dispute with Prime Minister Wang before her death, so I doubt..."
"Do you suspect that Prime Minister Wang killed your sister?" Bai Shao spoke first.
Xia Houshu nodded solemnly.
Bai Shao pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Then it should be him."
How could you be so sloppy?
Xia Houshu thought for a while and decided to tell her his thoughts, and said: "At first I also suspected that it was Prime Minister Wang, but I once saw him holding a white jade plaque in memory of his old friend... If it is not true,
That’s because he is too cunning. By the way, that white jade plaque is in the shape of a peony flower, and your sister’s name is Bai Shao. You must have seen it, right?”
Bai Shao nodded and said: "The peony jade tablet is indeed something that my sister carries with her. She has never left her body for ten years. Maybe Prime Minister Wang has some true feelings for her, so she is willing to be trapped by her. But if he is true love
Sister, I wouldn’t have killed her and kept a jade plaque to show off.”
Xia Houshu had no say in whether Wang Chonghou really loved Yi Wu. Sometimes she even felt that Wang Chonghou loved herself and power more than anyone else. Even the Princess Mingjia whom he tried so hard to marry was nothing more than Princess Mingjia.
It was just a tool for him to consolidate his power and status. But Yi Wu had true feelings for Prime Minister Wang, but she didn't expect it.
Bai Shao suddenly stood up and said very seriously: "I know you are curious, but there are many things that I can't tell you. My sister's death is indeed closely related to Prime Minister Wang. My sister had a dispute with Prime Minister Wang earlier.
, it was precisely because my sister peeked at his important secret messages. But before she could spread the news, she died of poison. The reason why I haven't gone to Prime Minister Wang to take revenge yet is because there is still use in keeping him.
.And I have more important tasks now."
Xia Houshu felt that what she said seemed reasonable, but also seemed to miss something. She couldn't tell what exactly was missing. She wanted to ask her if her more important task was to check the content of the cipher text, but she thought of Bai Bai.
Shao was sincere when she said it was not convenient for her to tell him, but she still held back.
Xia Houshu thought for a while, then an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked: "By the way, there are many exotic flowers and herbs planted in the yard where your sister lives. Is the poison your sister was poisoned related to this?" This chapter has been completed!
