Chapter 14

Bloodstains: "Shut up, let's go see a doctor."

Mr. Jiang looked back to see the officials and bandits fighting not far away.The officers and soldiers surrounded the entire street, most of the remaining assassins surrendered, only three or two were dying, and there was no trouble.Now that the overall situation has been decided, someone will naturally finish the work for Mr. Jiang.The Jiang family's small yard was dimly lit, and someone had already prepared a medicine box, hot water towels and waited for Mr. Jiang.

"A sword has no eyes, so why bother to block the sword for her, Master!"

Ruyi's body with a big belly is a bit clumsy, but her movements are very light.Skillfully moistened the bloody clothes with a wet towel, and slowly peeled off the wound.Even so, blood still oozed from the wound from time to time, leaving bloodstains along Mr. Jiang's back.

Mr. Jiang next to the bed had disheveled hair covering his chest, his white shoulders were exposed with half-undressed clothes, he was biting a towel tightly in his mouth, his fingers were so tight that they almost scratched the bed sheet.By the time he stripped off the bloody clothes, Mr. Jiang was already dripping with sweat, and his hands were propped on the edge of the bed, and his whole body was shaking, and his voice was fluttering: "The Jiang family already owes her, so we can't owe more and more."

Ruyi used a towel to clean up the blood stains on the wound, and said disdainfully: "No one forced her to marry into the Jiang family, it was her Bai family who bullied others and forced her to marry."

"I know you don't like her..." Mr. Jiang took a breath, turned his head to Ruyi and sighed: "She has nothing but her title. Now the Jiang family is being plotted against, and she is also dragged down by the Jiang family."

"When the incident subsides, when you and the child have a status, I hope you will see it for my sake and don't embarrass her too much."

Ruyi didn't answer, picked up the medicine bottle and changed the subject: "Is this troublesome?"

"It's very troublesome, huh!" Mr. Jiang snorted, the wound was stimulated by the medicine, and his body twitched, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Ping An thoroughly investigated the Shibawan waterway, most of them returned in vain, The other party obviously knew the news earlier than us. Later, the official bank was found and it was confirmed that the bandits had colluded with the government..."

Ruyi suddenly frowned, and reached out to touch her stomach: "It moved again!"

"What?" Mr. Jiang was still a little dazed, and it took a while to react, and smiled weakly: "Is it fetal movement? Let me see!"

Covering Ruyi's stomach with trembling palms, Mr. Jiang held his breath and concentrated. Sure enough, he felt his belly swell and squirm under his palm after a while. The force was not strong but it was very interesting.

This is the blood of the Jiang family!

"It's been seven months?"

Ruyi caressed her round belly: "It's almost eight months. Master, what should I do in the future?"

"As usual, I will find out the mastermind as soon as possible. You are careful to raise your baby here. As long as I am the young master of the Jiang family for a day, I will not watch the Jiang family collapse." Under the light, the slender figure is full of flexibility, the flesh The rolled scars are particularly glaring.

Picking up the gauze bandage to bandage Young Master Jiang's wound, Ruyi couldn't help but slow down when it passed from his back to his chest: "Be careful these two days, don't wrap your body too tightly if you have an injury, and don't let her see anything. "

"Yes." Mr. Jiang was still thinking about something on his mind, so he answered absently.

Ruyi moved her mouth and said nothing, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to the blood-stained rags on the ground.There are not only Mr. Jiang's clothes, but also chest-wrapping steps inside.The cracks were neat and severed by the assassin.

Thinking about it, the night is extremely dark tonight, and it's a life-and-death fight, so she probably won't notice, right?

After bandaging, Mr. Jiang was helped into the room by his servants. He was wearing a thin padded jacket, which was especially eye-catching in the weather at the end of October.Every step I take is vain and looks sluggish.Baiyunxi helped Mr. Jiang to sit down, and accidentally saw Mr. Jiang's fingers were still cold, and the thick cotton coat didn't help. He worried, "Is it better? What does the doctor say?"

"Skin trauma, just bandage it up and mend it." Mr. Jiang smiled, pointed to the low stool next to him and said, "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you."

Bai Yunxi sat down as promised and listened carefully to Mr. Jiang's words.Mr. Jiang sighed, "Someone is plotting against the Jiang family, and you know about it."

Seeing Baiyunxi nodded, Mr. Jiang continued: "I have been pretending to be sick for more than a month, just to see how the situation develops. This time I sought medical treatment in the middle of the night, and some people really couldn't bear it. Tonight, I will arrest a few people safely and interrogate them The local city guard was involved. After careful investigation, it was found that the city guard not only embezzled military salaries, but also had ties to other officials. Ping An is ready to hunt."

The word Wai Lie emphasized the tone, Young Master Jiang raised his eyes to see Bai Yunxi's expression.Baiyunxi is no stranger to hunting, and hunting is held every year in the royal family.Surround the hunting ground on three sides, and deliberately open one side to drive the prey in this direction.The prey panicked and would often lead the hunter back to his lair, and the result was a bumper harvest for the hunter.

"You let the city guard go on purpose?"

"That's right, I want to see how many grasshoppers he can pull out from behind his back!" Mr. Jiang looked at Baiyunxi appreciatively: "There may be changes in Jiangnan's officialdom after all this trouble. You have to take care of yourself, and if something happens, go Find the old lady and the housekeeper, they will help you."

Bai Yunxi asked strangely, "What about you?"

"This time it's not a bandit, it's an official. Ping'an doesn't have an official title, he can't handle it, so I have to go there myself."

"Are you looking like you want to go out to suppress bandits?" Bai Yunxi raised her voice, full of disapproval.

"It doesn't matter. Everything will be handled safely. I will only show up when the officialdom is involved. The time of this trip is uncertain. You have to be more careful. The safest place in the mansion is the old lady's place." Mr. Jiang explained the precautions in detail, Hong Candle It didn't burn out, Young Master Jiang's face was already showing fatigue.

Bai Yunxi interrupted him: "I'm going to make the bed, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"No, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, I'll just go to the study to rest. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Mr. Jiang smiled slightly, and staggered out of the house wrapped in a thick cotton jacket.Bai Yunxi watched him leave, his back disappeared into the night before turning back to his room.I saw candles flickering in the room, and a man in black appeared out of nowhere in the empty hut.His body is thin and thin under the strong clothes, and he can't tell if he is a man or a woman even if he covers his face with a black scarf. His whole body is extremely cold and gloomy.

Bai Yunxi remained calm and watched as the man in black stretched out his hand, and then two pearl earrings appeared in his palm.One of the bright red bloodstains has not been wiped dry.Bai Yunxi glanced at it, put it in his arms, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

The man in black didn't answer her, and said resentfully, "Why didn't you act earlier?"

Clenching and loosening his fists in his sleeves, Bai Yunxi ignored the dissatisfaction of the man in black, walked slowly to the round table and sat down: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you like Young Master Jiang?" The man in black took a step forward and said, "I saw you hugging him tonight, you could have shot that knife earlier..."

"That's enough!" Bai Yunxi's cold gaze fixed on the man in black, and Bai Yunxi's voice was deep and depressed: "Speak to the business!"

The man in black pursed his lips unwillingly, and said in a low voice: "The bandit has colluded with the government, and hid more than one million official silver. It is suspected to be military pay, and it is said to be related to the Jiang family."

Corruption of military pay is a capital crime, and dismissal from office, which will harm future generations, is a serious crime.Bai Yunxi couldn't help frowning: "What did the eldest son say?"

"His Royal Highness is still waiting." The man in black's eyes flickered, and continued: "His Royal Highness intercedes for the Jiang family. He thinks that the Jiang family's family style is good, and there may be other secrets. His Royal Highness will intervene after a year at the latest. Your Highness Let me tell you that there is not much time, so make a decision as soon as possible.”

Calculating the time, it is already late October, and there are still about two months before the Chinese New Year. Time is really tight.Bai Yunxi closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then tapped the table with his fingertips regularly: "Tell the eldest son what you heard tonight, the Jiang family just learned about the collusion between officials and bandits, and did not participate in it, let's see if we can give it a while. "

"There is one more thing I want you to do yourself."

"what's up?"

"Check Jiang's family tree." Bai Yunxi looked solemnly into the eyes of the man in black, and repeated word by word: "Go check Jiang's family tree and check for any omissions."

The man in black was a little puzzled, and after nodding, he was as light as a civet cat, and disappeared out of the window without a sound.Bai Yunxi stared at the red candle and tears, poured himself a cup of tea and thought silently.The hot tea in his palm was hot, but Bai Yunxi thought of Mr. Jiang's cold fingertips.

The wind was raging outside, Mr. Jiang set off with injuries, and he didn't know how long he would be away this time, so he was worried and worried.It's ridiculous that Mr. Jiang hasn't gone out yet, but she has already started thinking about it?

She has always been tired of public affairs and private affairs, but this time she made an exception and secretly helped Mr. Jiang hide the knife, and even took the initiative to speak for the Jiang family and plead for mercy with the prince.At that time, she didn't think too much, she just followed the trend. Looking back now, what she did went against her original intention. These changes were all because of Mr. Jiang.

Sure enough, she was a little moved...

bad news

The moonlight is like frost, and the cold wind is howling, staining some white on the roofs of the quiet houses.If you observe carefully, you will find that the corners and corridors of the seemingly peaceful houses are guarded by hidden soldiers.There are twice as many officers and soldiers patrolling the street outside the house than elsewhere.

Crouching on the edge of the wall, the man in black blended into the night, his eyes swept over the weapons in the hands of the dark soldiers below, the man in black was a little disdainful, and then his eyes fell on the lighted window.The warm yellow light vaguely reveals the silhouette of the young man, who seems to be stronger than before, with his waist straight.

When the clouds covered the moonlight for a moment of darkness, the man in black climbed up the sloping roof of the dwelling house as lightly as a civet cat, quietly lifted a piece of tile, held his breath and concentrated on looking, and the situation inside the house could be fully seen.Mr. Jiang was wearing a thick coat and reading at night by candlelight. There were many letters spread out on the table, and Ping An was talking.

"...Master Yang left his private house last night, changed his carriage at the prefect of Suzhou, and headed east."

"Has the rumor of him stealing the military salary been released?"

"It was released, but his subordinates have not been mobilized. There seems to be crying in the Yang family's house. Today, Mrs. Yang and her youngest son threw themselves into the trap, and were rescued by the servants."

Mr. Jiang put down the letter paper,
