The villain is far from my CP!

Want to ask for a household secretary?

It seems very angry.

Bai Xiao wanted to laugh, sighed lightly, and patted the girl's head gently.

"Come on, brother, help you watch together."

In the next twelve hours, the engraving went on again, and there was no loud noise from the copper pipe. Qi Jingmin seemed to have supervised the whole square, but there was no other movement, and he was quite tasteless. A shameful embarrassment to abandon.

But anyway, the goal of entering Qianfang's secret room has been achieved, and Baiqiao doesn't have the mood and energy to take care of him right now. What she cares about is that the current situation of Qianfang provides an excellent opportunity for Santang Pharmacy.

And that night, the pipeline used to transport information in the corner of the past suddenly emitted a low hum.

Something is rolling down the pipe!

Bai Qiaoyuan's nerves were tense, and he jumped up when he heard the sound, and rushed to the front quickly, and found that what fell down was a small object wrapped in layers of brocade cloth.

Her heart was beating violently, and she was just about to reach for it when a dry hand held her shoulder.

"Let the old man come." The poison master's eyes were radiant, and he smiled dryly twice, "I, the old man, have already smelled that terrible smell."

Bai Qiao didn't dare to be brave, so he hurriedly gave up his position, and when the brocade cloth was lifted layer by layer, revealing a hooked scorpion tail, his heart finally fell back into his stomach completely.

"There is still a letter in the pipeline, you can take it and read it yourself."

The poison master's eyes were glued to the scorpion, he didn't touch the letter, he waved his hand and walked to the side behind the temporary drug case.

The rest of the people opened the letter, and it was Xiao Hui's handwriting. In addition to explaining the story of Dongjie Quanscorpion, it also described the current situation in Dongdu in detail.

"Sure enough, the dry formula has just been sealed." Bai Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, a deserted dry formula is what they need most right now.

The left and right are just one station, and in a day or two, Qi Jingmin will completely forget about this place, and it will be much more convenient for them to go out and do something at that time.

The letter also said that the portraits of her, Bai Xiao and Qi Tonghe had been pasted all over the city, and anyone who reported them would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Of course, the thousand taels of silver probably came out of Qi Jingmin's own pocket. After all, he is just a common man now, and he is good in private, but he has nothing to do to occupy the state treasury.

The stone in their hearts was completely put down, and everyone devoted themselves to the great cause of checking the case files of the bookstore.

And that night, they finally found something tricky.

"Yizhong Bookstore," the girl slid her fingers across the four small characters on the case file, and turned to the content of the case file below.

This bookstore officially opened a year ago, located on Jinzhao Street, and then signed a deed of depositing silver with Shenghe.

only……

These numbers do look familiar.

Bai Qiao fiddled with the abacus lightly, calculated a few more results and wrote them down on paper, rubbing his chin as he thought.

In the middle of last year, she spent half a year researching the accounts of Shenghe and the treasury, and she still had some impression of the suspicious figures she found.

It's it!

The girl tapped the name with her fingertips, and then glanced at the hour on the engraving, it was still early in the morning.

It's just a pity that the news about the secret room can only be sent inside, not outside, otherwise it would be most appropriate for Xiao Hui to find out.

But, can't wait.

Bai Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly and made a decision.

Just tonight, two people went to Yizhong Bookstore to check the situation.

The hidden guards had no objection, what they did was such a job.

But what everyone didn't expect was that in the afternoon of this day, there was another loud noise in Ganfang, which had been quiet for a whole day.

It's not the horrible sound of smashing, but the voice of people.

Just listening to it reminds me of the grand scene on the day when Qianfang opened.

Even, judging from the sound coming from the copper pipe, the newly opened bank is actually called Qianfang.

What does Qi Jingmin want to do? !

Bai Qiao and Qi Tonghe looked at each other in blank dismay, their expressions suddenly turned ugly.

The dry recipe is gone, but at least it is in their hands from the beginning to the end. It comes clean and leaves clean. If there is a chance to open it again in the future, it is still a good dry recipe.

But when it reopens at this time, the person behind it is obviously replaced by Qi Jingmin. They don't know what he wants to do with Qian Fang, but it must not be a good thing.

"This bastard!" Qi Tonghe slapped the table with his palm, his face pale.

Of all the people in the room, he spent the longest time with Qian Fang, a feeling that Bai Qiao couldn't match.

Since Qi Changting's mother's family was imprisoned ten years ago, Qi's family was also implicated, he began to work with the hatred of exterminating his family, carefully, step by step, and together with Qi Changting pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Gan Fang accompanied him and Qi Changting through the most difficult period of time, and it was he who watched him become like this little by little.

But now!

This sense of powerlessness is exactly the same as ten years ago.

Even Qi Tonghe's strong heart, which has been cultivated in business affairs for most of his life, is somewhat unacceptable.

Deep love, deep hatred.

When there were other people in the room who were more depressed, Bai Qiao calmed down even faster.

"Let's not talk about the purpose of Qi Jingmin's actions, but one of them must be to anger us." The girl looked into Qi Tonghe's eyes with a serious face, "Don't be fooled by the shopkeeper."

The secret room fell silent, except for the poison master in the corner who focused on the scorpion, everyone else looked over worriedly.

Fortunately, Qi Tonghe took a deep breath, and finally sat down behind his desk without saying anything.

No one spoke, and no one offered comfort.

They all know that comfort is probably the most useless thing right now.

"I'm fine," Qi Tonghe finally said after a while.

And to Bai Qiao's surprise, his next sentence turned out to be: "Since there are so many people around Gan Fang these days, let's take it easy when it comes to spying on Yi Zhong at night."

Qi Tonghe looked at Baiqiao while talking, "Miss Bai has other suggestions."

The man's complexion could not be concealed, but his eyes were firmer than ever before.

Bai Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and agreed, "Since that's the case, we will arrange shifts these days to monitor the information at the other end of the copper pipe, and go to Yizhong when the time is right."

After arranging this matter, Bai Qiao sat back at the case desk.

Yi Zhong was only the first suspicious bookstore she saw, and there were more than ten others to be confirmed.

The girl rubbed her eyebrows and opened the next case file, but at this moment, a beaming voice suddenly came from the direction of the brass pipe:

"White girl!"

"?" Although Qi Tonghe can think about it temporarily, he can't be so optimistic, right?

The girl looked up a little strangely, and unexpectedly, she saw beside the brass pipe, the first hidden guard in charge of monitoring was also looking back with a confused expression.

Bai Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition flashed suddenly.

And just as the two of them looked at each other, another voice called "Miss Bai" came from the direction of the brass pipe.

The dark guard didn't speak, but this time everyone heard clearly, the voice clearly came from the brass pipe, and the speaker was obviously quite close to the brass pipe.

All the outlets of the copper pipes are in the private room on the second floor.

In Ganfang's private room, another white girl appeared? !

"Miss Bai, I will follow your orders. The master carpenter will come tomorrow, and he will definitely make you look like Wu County."

Wu Jun, Miss Bai.

Before Baiqiao could react, Bai Xiao, who was being dragged by the poison master in the corner to collect blood for drug testing, suddenly stood up in a jerk.

Wu Jun, Wu Jun can only be called a white girl, only a girl from the Bai family...

The familiar shadow he saw at the entrance of the alley when they entered the city a few days ago flashed across the youth's mind.

Could it be that he was wrong at the time, but!

Bai Xiao looked at Baiqiao in horror.

It has been nearly three years since they completely broke with the Bai family in Wujun.

Three years ago, he wrote the separation document on his own initiative, and left home without taking any money. He even took advantage of the fact that Bai Yifeng, the Patriarch of the Bai family, was drunk, and secretly pressed the two's palm prints.

Three years is not long, but the experience during that time made Bai Xiao think back to the days when he was in the Bai family, as if it was a lifetime away.

At that time, he left neatly, but only Bai Xiao knew that when he dreamed back at midnight, he dreamed countless times that the ancestors of the Bai family pointed at his nose and scolded him for being unfilial.

He wanted to say that it was clear that the Bai family treated his brother and sister badly. His father only used his sister as a tool, and the separation was just to survive, but...

But when my grandfather was alive, he loved him the most. In the early years, he traveled all over the country to do business. Neither the elder brother nor the second brother took him with him, but he always brought him, the third young master, to cultivate him, teach him, and even when he was drunk, he said that he would He revived the lintel with such words.

But he left his family behind and came to Dongdu alone...

"Brother?"

Suddenly, a gentle hand blocked his eyes, and then gently covered his forehead.

"You look bad, are you okay?"

fine……

Bai Xiao came back to his senses, his throat rolled, and he shook his head habitually.

He looked at Baiqiao who tilted his head and looked at him in front of him. Three years ago, he heard the news from home in other places, saying that Baiqiao was betrothed by his father to Yan Tong, the first son of the Yan family. He didn't want to, but was forced to hit the wall and commit suicide, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.

Yes, even though Aqiao was lying on the couch uncertain of his life or death, the Bai family still lied to him that Aqiao had a strong temper and wanted to commit suicide.

He went back to the city and inquired a few times, only to find out what happened. It was Yan Tong who couldn't ask for it, so he pushed Aqiao.

The young man slowly raised his hand, caressing the warm side face of his sister in front of him.

His palm felt the arc of the girl's lips when she smiled.

"Brother, did the Bai family come to Dongdu?"

Bai Qiao is clearly the one who has suffered the most in this family, but when she mentions the Bai family, she is laughing.

"I, I thought I was wrong that day." Bai Xiao's voice was a little stagnant.

Bai Qiao sighed softly, took the young man by the arm and pulled him to another corner.

The other people in the secret room avoided the two brothers and sisters with discernment, and went about their own business, flipping through the case files.

The girl took the young man's arm and shook it, and suddenly said softly: "What grandpa wants is not the Bai family you were in at that time."

"!" Bai Xiao froze, and looked down at Baiqiao in surprise.

She, how did she know...

"On New Year's Eve, in order to save me from a serious injury, my brother was so burned that he talked in sleep, and I knew it." Bai Qiao confessed.

Compared with Bai Xiao's shyness, the girl's face is completely indifferent.

Firstly, she didn't really live in that Bai family, and secondly...

"Brother, you are separated from the Bai family. There are two Bai families. The only difference is that there are more people with the surname Bai." The girl shrugged, then suddenly raised her hand and pressed it on Bai Xiao's shoulder. .

The girl's translucent eyes reflected the flames on the wall, like a battle robe that would burn forever.

He paused word by word, but said resolutely:

"Brother, why don't you build a new Bai family in Dongdu."

New, Baijia.

Bai Xiao was attracted by the fire in his eyes, and felt that his chilly body was slowly warming up.

Yes, his surname is also Bai.

The one in Wu Jun is from the Bai family, and of course he is also another Bai family.

Grandfather said that the Bai family was not good, and he couldn't change it, so why not build another Bai family that they all had in common?

It's not necessarily him who is unfilial, but the head of the Bai family who is double-faced and uses his children as bargaining chips.

After a while, Bai Xiao lowered her eyes, but the corners of her lips could not help but chuckle.

"Okay," the young man pressed the girl's shoulder back, and said in a deep voice, "Let's build a new Bai family."

The fighting spirit on the youth's face greatly satisfied Bai Qiao's sense of accomplishment. For the first time in so many years, she understood why there are so many chicken soup experts on the Internet.

The two wanted to say something more, but suddenly the voice of the hidden guard came from behind.

"Miss Bai, Mr. Bai, do you want to come over and listen?" The dark guard didn't want to interrupt this touching scene, but the current situation really puzzled him, "Why do I feel that the Bai girl outside is a little strange? "

strange?

Bai Qiao narrowed his eyebrows slightly, exchanged a glance with Bai Xiao, and quickly walked up to the brass pipe.

The voice inside is much quieter, but if you get close to it, it can still be clearly transmitted to your ears.

"In front of Qianfang Gate, set up an abacus taller than one person. There must be no less than a single abacus, and it must be arranged like the one I drew, remember?"

Sure enough, it was Bai Qing's voice, and Bai Qiao recognized it this time.

Bai Qing lowered her voice, probably in the middle of ordering something with her maid.

The abacus is in line with the identity of Qianfang Bank.

So why do it surreptitiously?

Moreover, why did the beads have to be specially arranged in the pattern she requested, and what was the pattern she requested?

Bai Qiao was confused, but Bai Xiao beside him frowned thoughtfully.

"I don't know if you have heard that merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were rampant in the early years, so the merchants invented a code word to prevent themselves from being targeted."

When the young man said this, he looked at the...

abacus.

"I did hear this kind of code word," said Qi Tonghe, "so you mean, that Bai Qing outside wants to send a message to someone through the position of the abacus on the abacus?"

Qi Tonghe paused, and was a little puzzled.

"But she uses this kind of code words in Dongdu, who is she going to show? Not to mention whether there are Huainan merchants in Dongdu, even if there are, why use code words."

The reason why code words are used is naturally that people who do not understand code words know the content of the information.

A thought flashed across Baiqiao's mind, and he looked at Bai Xiao in disbelief.

And Bai Xiao also looked back at the right time, and both of them saw the same guess in each other's eyes.

Qi Tonghe turned his eyes between the two of them, and finally understood something, and said inconceivably:

"So this information, shouldn't it be for the two of you!"

He deliberately used code words, and the target was the brothers and sisters of the Bai family, so there was a high probability that he didn't want the people at Qi Jingmin's side to understand.

I don't want Qi Jingmin to know that they are on their side.

Can……

Qi Tong raised his eyebrows slightly.

But didn't that Bai Qing have a grudge against Bai Qiao?
