The Golden Age

Chapter 405: Killing with a Knife

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiaowan did not expect that Gu Baiyi would come back at this time. He did not expect that Qiuniang did not expect either.

The two turned their heads to look at Gu Baiyi, feeling a little dazed for a while.

There is a gift box of pastries on the table, Qiuniang holds Bazhen cakes in her hand, and the door is closed. She is opened at this time. Seeing such a cozy scene of the two, she always thinks more.

"Brother Gu, are you back?" Qin Xiao immediately got up, feeling a little embarrassed after the accident.

Qiuniang is Gu Baiyi's elder sister. Seeing her sister and a man closing the door talking and laughing, I don't know what Bai Yi would think.

"I'm back." Gu Baiyi walked in directly and glanced at the gift box. He was not polite. He reached out and put a piece of pastry into his mouth, feasting on it.

"Actually... Actually I didn't say anything with Qiu Niang." Qin Xiao couldn't help but said.

"I know." Gu Baiyi nodded.

He said that, but the ghost could tell that he didn't think so.

Qiuniang was also a little anxious and explained: "Actually, I asked him what he did before. He said he was a jailer. I don't believe it, so...!"

"I understand!" Gu Baiyi ate food very quickly. After eating a piece of pastry, he stretched out his hand and took another piece, and persuaded, "Eat together, it tastes good."

Upon seeing this, Qiuniang couldn't help but glared at Qin Xiao. She felt that if Qin Xiao were not here, her brother would not be misunderstood. She simply said, "White clothes, you won't...you won't think. Me and... what shouldn't I do with him, right?"

"Sister, you worry too much." Gu Baiyi said: "Brother Qin is a gentleman, even if you don't care, he won't mess around."

Qiuniang raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "What did you say? I don't care about it? Are you still my brother?"

"All my life." Gu Baiyi laughed, took Qiuniang's chopsticks, and put a piece of pig's head meat into her mouth. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise the pig's head meat will be happily like a fairy. "

Qin Xiaozheng was a little embarrassed. Hearing what Gu Baiyi said, he immediately took out the two bottles of wine from the gift box and put one bottle directly in front of Gu Baiyi, saying, "Although it is not much, it is good wine. If it is not enough, let's go again. Drink alcohol."

Gu Baiyi picked up the wine bottle and sighed, "Don't say the wine in it, but this wine bottle, you can't buy it without a few silvers."

"Really?" Qiuniang was startled, apparently she didn't expect a small wine bottle to be worth her salary for half a year of punting. She hurriedly said: "You two have finished drinking, don't throw wine bottles around." Then she was surprised. : "Bai Yi, you are not a job today? Why are you running back now?"

"Yesterday, everyone in Kyoto Prefecture performed their duties, staying in their place and can't go home." Gu Baiyi opened the stopper of the wine bottle, and the wine inside immediately diffused. When Qin Xiao smelled the wine, he knew it was indeed. For the fine wine, I saw Gu Baiyi look at him and explained with a smile: "The Ministry of Justice took away Fan Butang from the Ministry of War yesterday. Lord Fu Yin was worried that things would come down from the Ministry of Justice, so there was no one in Kyoto Prefecture’s 800 government officials. Dare to leave without authorization. Those of us who are in charge of the paperwork and casework are also honest and can’t leave the yamen. Last night, we also failed to close our eyes, until it was almost noon, Fu Yin ordered a part of the value first, I just I just came back early, but I'm going to replace someone else at night."

Qin Xiao opened the cork and said, "Brother Gu, if it weren't for you this time, Lieutenant Han would be inevitable, and my younger brother would offer you a drink."

"Don't be so polite." Gu Baiyi smiled: "Drink when you drink. You don't respect yourself, don't see outsiders."

Qiuniang couldn't help but give Gu Baiyi a white look, thinking that this kid really regarded herself as her own, and you now regard him as your own.

Will this house not let him in and out in the future?

Gu Baiyi took a sip of the wine, closed his eyes and tasted it, and quickly exclaimed: "I have never drunk such wine since I was a child, Brother Qin, this time I thank you for your blessing."

"Brother Gu is also polite." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "The person who delivered the wine said it was called Tian Ren Nian, but the name is arrogant."

"Not arrogant." Gu Baiyi said, "This name really humiliates such a good wine. But it really surprised me that the Taiping Club could produce such a good wine."

"Brother Gu knew that Taiping would give it away?"

"I just entered the alley, and someone told me that several people came to my house with gift boxes. As soon as they said how those people were dressed, I guessed it was a peace meeting." Gu Baiyi pulled Qiuniang directly on the bench. Come and sit down, "The advantage of this alley is that no matter what happens, the whole alley will soon know."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that it seemed that I stayed with Qiuniang alone and widow last night, and the neighbors also figured it out.

"Wu Tianbao, the second brother sitting in the hall when I came." Qin Xiao said: "He said that the eldest brother of the Taipinghui and I are old acquaintances, but this is my first time in Beijing, how can I recognize their eldest brother? Gu, do you know? Who is the big brother of the Taipinghui?"

Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "I don't know. People in Kyoto only know that the Taipinghui's second brother Wu Tianbao, the so-called sitting, is the leader of the gang. When it comes to the Taipinghui, everyone only knows Wu Tianbao. The eldest brother of, really few people know.” Then he smiled: “But the patron behind the Taipinghui is extraordinary, and the identity of that eldest brother is naturally not ordinary.” I picked up a piece of pork head, what thought, Xiang Qiu Mother said: "Sister, you went to buy a jar of wine early. I didn't sleep well last night. You want to drink and refresh yourself."

Before Qiuniang spoke, Qin Xiao had already taken out a piece of broken silver and handed it over.

"I didn't drink in the past few months, and I didn't listen to you refreshing." Qiuniang said in a huff: "You drink every day in the past two days. After he leaves, I can't afford you whoever you want to drink." Wine money." Although he said that, he still took the money and put the silk into his room before leaving.

Gu Baiyi sighed: "Even though my sister is frugal, she has a good heart. Sometimes you say something wrong, don't blame her."

"Big Brother Gu is wrong. In fact, Sister Qiu Niang is smart and dexterous, diligent and thrifty. Whoever marries her will really accumulate virtue." Qin Xiao said sternly.

Gu Baiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm all to blame. I should have let her marry a long time ago, but...!" He stopped talking, seemed a little guilty, and said, "Sometimes I think too. If one day she marries, will I be able to live alone? I have no strengths except reading and writing. I can't even cook. Without her, I would really starve to death."

Qin Xiao also knew that if there was no Qiuniang, Gu Baiyi's life would indeed be even worse.

"Don't talk about it." Gu Baiyi frowned, "Why did you leave the Criminal Ministry? The case has just begun, why didn't the Criminal Ministry settle you?"

Qin Xiao went on horseback and pulled a cart to the Department of Criminal Justice. What happened after he was assassinated last night, he also said about the situation when he came here, but naturally he didn't tell him when he broke into the middle sky.

Gu Baiyi looked solemn and said, "Lu Junzhong is really sinister and cruel. He is going to kill someone with a knife."

"Killing someone with a knife?"

"Why do you think Lu Junzhong wants you to leave the Penalty Department?" Gu Baiyi said solemnly, "He had already expected that as long as you walked out of the Penalty Department, someone would definitely assassinate you, whether it was Qingyitang or the forces behind Fan Wenzheng. I won't let you go, I want to kill you."

Qin Xiao hadn’t thought of this before. Gu Baiyi mentioned it like this, and his heart was horrified. Only then did he understand that Lu Junzhong let himself leave the criminal department so quickly, but

Has a murderous intention towards himself.

"Why is he killing me?"

"His purpose is not to kill you." Gu Baiyi calmly said: "He wants to make this case bigger and involve more people. You escaped from the dead last night, that is God's eyes open, if you The corpse on the street, the result is different."

Qin Xiao had fully understood at this time.

"I went to the Criminal Ministry to file a complaint, which led to Fan Wenzheng being detained by the Criminal Ministry. Many people already know about this." Qin Xiao sneered: "So in everyone's eyes, Fan Wenzheng's party members will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh. On the streets, the first murderer that everyone thinks of is Fan Wenzheng’s party feathers."

"Not bad." Gu Baiyi nodded and said, "At that time, Lu Junzhong will announce your identity to the public. You are the Black Feather Night Crow, who went to Beijing to report military affairs, but was killed in Kyoto. This happened. The Woye Frontier Army would not be the first to give up, and Lu Junzhong would also take the opportunity to expand the case. The Criminal Ministry has not made any major moves in the past few years, and Lu Junzhong can’t hold back. After finally waiting for this case, he naturally doesn’t want to end it simply, at least We must take this opportunity to involve some officials who are not pleasing to the eye."

"So I became a tool he used?" Qin Xiao sneered: "It really is an old treacherous, cunning and sinister."

Gu Baiyi frowned and said, "But you were assassinated last night and you killed an assassin. It is reasonable to say that Kyoto Prefecture should be able to get a report for these things, but when I came back, Kyoto Prefecture did not have such news." After taking a sip from the wine bottle, he said, "I understand, after the assassination last night, when you leave, the assassins should have cleaned up the scene, and the corpses of the assassins who were killed have been properly disposed of. In this way, after dawn, No one knows that there has been a murder in the alley, and Kyoto Prefecture has no news."

"Those assassins should also be worried about leaving problems, so they dealt with the scene quickly." Qin Xiao said: "Brother Gu, according to your guess, the assassins last night were from Fan Wenzheng?"

"It's possible, but not sure." Gu Baiyi smiled faintly: "Lu Junzhong thinks he is very smart, but in fact he is too confident that someone will report the murder after you are killed. In fact, if they succeeded in the assassination last night, Your corpse will also be cleaned up, leaving no traces. In this way, no one will know that you were killed. It is just that a messenger from Xiling has lost track. Of course, the assassination may be Fan. Wenzheng’s party feather planned, but Tsing Yi Tang was also suspected. Both groups wanted to kill you.” Looking at Qin Xiao said, “I told you that night to rescue Duwei Han and go to the Criminal Department. A dangerous move, because you can rescue Han Duwei, and you will also forge a feud with Fan Wenzheng's forces. Staying in Kyoto will only make your situation more dangerous."

Qin Xiao said: "Lieutenant Han also asked me to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, but how can I leave him alone? Although he left the tiger's den, he entered the wolf's den. Now in the hands of the criminal ministry, Lu Junzhong is sinister and vicious. I am really worried. The safety of Lieutenant Han."

"Don't worry, the Criminal Ministry will never touch Lieutenant Han." Gu Baiyi said with certainty: "Even on the bright side, the Criminal Ministry dare not provoke you."
