Chapter 351 Can you help the whole family survive this disaster?
After nightfall, the rain finally stopped.
In the general's mansion, Xiao Wu was still awake in his room, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, someone knocked lightly on his door, and then a very low voice sounded, "Master!"
"Come in!" Xiao Wu gently shook the black jade fan in his hand.
"Master!" Soon, Qingyun appeared, knelt on one knee, and looked solemn.
Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Get up and tell me, is there any news?"
During the day, Xiaotuanzi and the others came back, but there was no sign of Qingyun. He knew that Qingyun would sneak in tonight.
The guards outside the general's mansion may be impregnable to others, but to Qingyun, they are almost useless.
In fact, after the incident, everyone in Feiyun Sect was investigating the entire incident, but the information they received showed no substantial progress.
Tonight, he hoped Qingyun could bring some useful information.
"Master, our people in the Censorate have sent us some news," Qingyun sighed, "The Second Young Master... was tortured tonight."
"So fast?" Xiao Wu was obviously a little surprised. "How is the person?"
"Master, don't worry. The Second Young Master should have been whipped, but after that..." Qingyun frowned in confusion. "It is said that Zuo Sixian found a doctor for the Second Young Master."
Xiao Wu frowned, obviously surprised.
He was silent for a moment, then continued, "How are the others? How are my sister and sixth brother doing?"
"Xiao Suining wasn't held with them. She was held alone in the interrogation room. It's said that Zuo Jiali visited her and brought her delicious food from the Wangjiang Tower. Later, he even added a brazier to the interrogation room..."
Qingyun hesitated for a moment before continuing, "This Second Young Master Zuo seems to want... to have Little Suining return to the Zuo family."
"Wishful thinking!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but comment.
The affection that little Tuanzi has for his father and mother cannot be replaced by a little food or benefit from Zuo Jiali.
"But..." Qingyun obviously knew a lot, "Xiao Suining seemed to ask Zuo Er... to go tomorrow night."
Xiao Wu frowned and quickly understood the little guy's intention. The little dumpling wanted to leave the inquiry room to see the stars.
He didn't have any worries and turned to ask about the situation of Bai Yunfeng and others.
"Master, don't worry. Zuo Sixian left after interrogating the second young master tonight. He didn't interrogate anyone else." Qingyun replied respectfully.
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "What else? Any news from the palace?"
Qingyun paused, then shook his head. "In the palace, the emperor gave full authority to Zuo Sixian to handle this matter, and he rarely mentioned it after that. No one else in the palace talked about it either."
Xiao Wu's expression grew increasingly grim. "Does the Emperor really want to kill the entire Bai family?"
"However, Master, there is a piece of news in the palace. I don't know if it is related to this matter." Qingyun suddenly said again.
"Tell me, what's the news?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"There have been two new guests in the palace recently. It's said that the Emperor has secretly met with them several times," Qingyun said with a suspicious look on his face. "However, the Emperor has never disclosed their identities to the public, but in the palace, they have always been treated as distinguished guests."
"Who is he? Has anyone seen him?" Xiao Wu asked immediately.
"It said there was a blind old man and a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old."
Xiao Wu frowned, "When did they enter the palace?"
"I don't know the exact time, but it was before the general was captured." Qingyun answered immediately.
"Before my father was arrested?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but get angry. "Then why didn't they mention it before?"
"Well..." Qingyun pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Our people have never found any direct connection between these two people and the general's case, so they have been..."
"It's so stupid!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but get angry.
But obviously, the information that Feiyunmen can obtain at present is also limited, and it is impossible to find out the reason why the Bai family was suddenly identified as treason.
He could only instruct Qingyun, "Keep telling them to keep an eye on the two people in the palace. I want to know their identities, where they came from, what they were doing in the palace, and whether they had any contact with people outside the palace, especially the Zuo family."
"I understand." Qingyun quickly accepted the order.
Xiao Wu went to the yard alone and stayed for a while. It was obvious that this turmoil should not be underestimated.
In particular, each of them is either trapped in the general's mansion or in prison... How can they save themselves?
For some reason, he thought of Xiaotuanzi.
There were no stars in the sky at this time, but Xiao Wu couldn't help but pray secretly: Sister, you are the lucky star of the general's mansion. This time, can you help the whole family get through this disaster smoothly?
——
The next day, Xiaotuanzi woke up early and Yu San brought him breakfast, which was fried cakes he had specially bought on the street.
"Thank you, Uncle Yousan!" Li Suining held the hot fried cake in his hand and ate it with a smile on his face.
After all, she was just a four-year-old kid, and she obviously didn't have a clear sense of crisis about where she was or what the future would be like.
Looking at her little appearance, You San couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was still young, otherwise she would definitely not be able to eat or sleep.
"Uncle Yousan, have you eaten?" The little dumpling asked with puffed up cheeks and a milky voice after eating half of it.
"Eat it, eat it. These two are for you." You San said with a smile.
He bought two this morning and gave them both to Xiaotuanzi. He himself planned to eat the dry buns and vegetable soup prepared for Xiaotuanzi in the prison.
He always felt that any help he could provide was valuable, but he also understood that what he could do was limited.
"Uncle Yousan," the little dumpling asked eagerly after finishing one, "Do you know how my father and brothers are doing?"
You San shook his head. He only knew that Zuo Sixian had interrogated Bai Yu'an last night, but it was said that a doctor was invited over later.
Last night, before Zuo Sixian left, he told him not to tell Xiaotuanzi about other prisoners' affairs. Obviously, he was referring to this incident, so he didn't dare to say it.
"Okay." The little girl couldn't help feeling a little depressed. She was really worried about her father and brothers.
Hopefully there will be stars tonight.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yousan, is the weather good today? Can we see the stars tonight?"
"The weather is great today. Although it's a little cold, the sun is shining brightly." You San said excitedly, "There will definitely be many stars tonight, but..."
He suddenly remembered that the weather outside had nothing to do with the dumpling in front of him. The dumpling couldn't even get a little bit of sunlight here.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the little girl was obviously very happy.
"Great, I want to eat my fill." Li Suining continued to eat the fried cakes in big mouthfuls.
Tonight, she will definitely find a way to get Zuo Jiali to take her out.
