Chapter 1732: Bai Yong’s Question
Editor: Henyee Translations
Doctor Qiao? Qiao Jinshui?
Speak of the devil.
The people in the study looked at each other. Bai Yong stood up. "You don’t have to follow me. I’ll go take a look."
As he spoke, he opened the door and brought Uncle Zuo to the central room.
When Shao Yin and Yang Liu came over, they only had time to see his back. The two of them asked curiously, "Father, where are you going?"
"To see Senior Brother Qiao," Bai Hang said. "Come in first."
The two of them carried the snacks into the study. On the other side, Bai Yong had already seen Qiao Jinshui.
Qiao Jinshui hurriedly turned around. When he saw Bai Yong, he was stunned. "Master, why are you here?"
Not many people knew that Bai Yong had come to the Xuanhe Prefecture. Otherwise, the Shao Residence wouldn’t have been so quiet for the past two days. His disciples would have probably broken through the door long ago.
Bai Yong waved his hand and let him sit. "I just came over. You know that our Ah Yu has been found. Now that we want to clear his name, I naturally have to be present."
"That makes sense." Qiao Jinshui nodded in agreement, but she didn’t sit down immediately. He poured a glass of water and handed it to Bai Yong before sitting opposite him. "Speaking of which, Master hasn’t left the Lingzhou Prefecture for many years. Indeed, Disciple-Nephew Ah Yu has a lot of face."
"After all, we’ve been searching for him more than 20 years." Bai Yong sighed.
"Master should be happy. I met Ah Yu two days ago. He’s indeed a talented person. I heard from Junior Brother Xing that his medical skills are also very good. He was the one who discovered the cowpox vaccination method previously. We’re all ashamed of our inferiority."
Bai Yong nodded. "Yes, you’ve met before. I heard that you followed Marquis Pingnan’s carriage over?" He said that he had seen Ah Yu, but he didn’t mention that Ah Yu had saved him.
Bai Yong also had an idea in mind.
"Yes, Marquis Pingnan has been poisoned. Over the past two days, Junior Brother Xing and I had been detoxifying him, so we couldn’t leave for the time being. Only now do we have the time to come to the Shao Residence to see Junior Brother Bai Hang."
"I heard from Ah Yu about this. What kind of person is Marquis Pingnan? I also heard from Ah Yu’s wife that an assassin appeared yesterday. In the end, Prince Han searched Ah Yu’s wife’s shop. Not only that, but Prince Han even allowed his subordinates to barge in. That’s not right. Who would act so recklessly? Aren’t there no rules?" Bai Yong was still angry as he spoke.
Then, he said to Qiao Jinshui, "I don’t think the marquis family is easy to get along with. You have to be careful when you cure him of the poison in his house. Don’t get blamed for doing a good deed and come back after curing the poison, understand?"
Qiao Jinshui’s face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly smiled again.
"Master, you’ve misunderstood. Marquis Pingnan is actually quite good. Back then, he saw that I was Master’s disciple, so he invited me into the residence. I didn’t expect to encounter him being poisoned, so I came to the Xuanhe residence with him. Prince Han and Miss Han have always been polite and have always treated me with courtesy. They’re very easy to talk to."
As he spoke, he paused. "As for what happened yesterday, Prince Han actually told me when he returned. He also admitted that he was indeed a little impulsive. However, as a child, he couldn’t help but be anxious when he saw his father being poisoned and unconscious. He wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible."
Bai Yong didn’t say anything. His expression remained the same, but his fingers had already tightened.
