Chapter 352: The Supervisor Who Confessed
Chapter 352: The Supervisor Who Confessed
It was after Si Jiu said this that Wen Baizhi remembered that when she first met Si Jiu again last year and they went on the autumn hunt together, Si Jiu, in order to put on a show in front of the world, deliberately pretended to be assassinated by the envoy at the banquet with Qi Yan'an and the Chi Du envoy.
Wen Baizhi still remembers clearly how badly Si Jiu was injured at that time.
Wen Baizhi seemed to be very worried that Si Jiu would encounter such a dangerous situation again. She didn't say much, but just hugged Si Jiu silently.
After two people have been together for a long time, they don't need to say many things too clearly. Just a gesture or a look can make them understand what the other person is trying to say or do.
"Don't worry, the things that happened during Qiushou won't happen again."
Si Jiu assured Wen Baizhi.
At the same time, he did not forget to touch Wen Baizhi's head a few more times.
Wen Baizhi remained silent.
But the strength he had in holding Si Jiu became a little stronger.
Si Jiu quietly sat there being held, but he listened carefully to Wen Baizhi's movements, fearing that she might be feeling uncomfortable.
After a long time, Wen Baizhi finally spoke: "Zijin, now that we are in Yunzhou, do you think Qi Yanan will come to find us? Will he want to take you or me away?"
It turns out that this is the reason why Wen Baizhi has been silent.
She continued, "When I was in Kyoto, I saw you being tortured by him, and I thought, one day, I must take you away from that oppressive place. And because my father left behind a group of people like Qi He in Yunzhou, I resolutely brought you from Chidu to Yunzhou.
I just thought of this. If Qi Yanan really goes to war with Chi Du as he had planned, what will you, me, and Yao Yao do? I am not a person who worries about everything, but you know that Zijin and Wen Bai died in the war. I am actually a little afraid of war. "
Even Wen Bai, who was fearless before, was afraid when facing war.
Not to mention that she died in the war.
The shadow of death at that time still comes up to scare her from time to time.
It’s just that Wen Baizhi is used to being strong and calm.
But now it involves Si Jiu, and even more so Qi Yanan, who has always disliked Si Jiu.
She could no longer remain calm and composed as before.
"And Zijin, no matter how much you and I deny that I am not Wen Bai, Qi Yanan is a man with a clear mind. He must know that I am not Wen Baizhi. He might even come to find me under the pretext of beating Chidu and capture me. It is also something he can do."
Wen Baizhi no longer wanted to admit it, but she did know Qi Yan'an very well.
After all, they knew each other when they were young and they actually had many beautiful memories of their youth.
But later on, things and people changed, and those beautiful memories became something that Wen Baizhi would sneer at every time she thought of them.
Before Si Jiu could reply, Wen Baizhi continued.
"Zijin, I don't think I had the chance to tell you that I had suspected the cause of death of my father and my eldest brother. You know, they had practiced martial arts for many years and had very good physical fitness. They had been to Yunzhou before, but they were killed by the miasma in Yunzhou during their exile and died tragically in a foreign land.
It was only then that I learned through another person's description when I went to Qi He's place a few days ago that my suspicions were all true. My father and others did have a suspicious cause of death, and it was obviously not caused by miasma.
Unfortunately, when that person wanted to go back and check again, all the evidence had been erased by someone with ulterior motives.
But from the beginning to the end, even without evidence, I felt that this was done by Qi Yan'an. He had very good reasons to do so. You have to know how many methods he used to deal with the old ministers with deep roots in the court after he became emperor. My father was one of the best among them. He would definitely take action against my father and others.
You also know that after my father and others died, I broke into his bedroom and stabbed him with a sword. He didn't even try to dodge at that time, and even didn't make any explanation when faced with my questioning. According to his character, if he didn't do it, he would definitely explain to me, but he didn't.
Fortunately, when my father was still alive, when Qi Yanan was still the unpopular prince, he often asked me to help him more.
Damn Qi Yanan! It's a pity that I have no evidence, otherwise I would have stabbed him again to vent my anger."
Wen Baizhi was so absorbed in what she was saying that she didn't notice Si Jiu's increasingly pale face.
The truth of the matter that he had been hiding has not been known by Wen Baizhi until now.
In fact, after he became the governor, he also used his own power and a lot of manpower and material resources to find out the truth about the tragic death of the Wen father and son in Yunzhou.
After all, Wen Bai was gone at that time, and he wanted to do something for Wen Bai in the end, so that when he went down to see Wen Bai and her father and brother in the future, he would be qualified to hold his head up in front of her.
God helps those who work hard, and Si Jiu finally finds out the truth.
But this truth took him by surprise.
The death of the Wen family father and son was not caused by Qi Yan'an.
On the contrary, Qi Yan'an had secretly helped them and actively planned to secretly send them out of Yunzhou so that they could reunite with Wen Bai later.
Even the house that Qi Yan'an bought for the Wen family was found by Si Jiu.
The house was empty, but Qi Yan'an had really tried hard to fill it with people.
Therefore, the biggest source of Wen Baizhi's hatred for Qi Yan'an is actually not him.
Si Jiu was scared and worried.
He was afraid that Wen Baizhi would one day find out that she hated Qi Yan'an for the wrong person.
Even Qi Yan'an loved her as much as he did.
Then how should Si Jiu deal with it when the time comes.
Qi Yan'an is the most noble being, so what can he not get?
Even if he had to rob her, he could easily snatch Wen Baizhi away from him.
In this way, Si Jiu has been hiding the truth.
The truth that the death of the Wen family father and son was actually caused by the death of the prime minister Yun Shanliu was concealed.
Of course, it is also because Yun Shanliu’s daughter Yun Qingyao is also Wen Bai’s best friend.
In terms of emotion and reason, in public and private matters.
More because of his own weakness, Si Jiu still hasn't told Wen Baizhi the truth about her father and brother's death even though he knows she is very anxious to know it.
But he was deeply moved by what Wen Baizhi had just said to him.
He knew that Wen Baizhi would not leave him.
So Si Jiu plucked up his courage and wanted to take this opportunity to tell her the truth that he had hidden for a long time.
Just as he opened his mouth, Ping An knocked on the door hurriedly outside.
"Oh no, sir, something terrible has happened!"
