Bai Zhi also pretended to be angry and said, "This guy is really a piece of shit!"
The bearded man slammed the table and said, "Yes! As the old saying goes, one should be loyal to the person who entrusted him with the task. What I, Cao Cao, despise the most is this kind of sneaky and cunning villain!"
Bai Zhi tried to continue asking questions, but found that this was all the bearded man knew. She couldn't get any more information out of him, so she just said a few perfunctory questions and took Qiaoqiao out.
Qiaoqiao ate until her belly was full, and she pulled Baizhi along, humming that she wanted to drink bayberry juice. So they asked along the way which store had the best bayberry juice, and with the guidance of passers-by, they turned around and entered a small narrow alley.
Qiaoqiao tightly grasped Baizhi's sleeve and said, "Miss, why is there no one in this alley?"
Bai Zhi vaguely saw a small storefront in the distance: "It looks like the one in front. Let's go."
The next moment, several masked men suddenly climbed over the wall and put Bai Zhi in a sack.
Qiaoqiao staggered due to the brute force and shouted in shock, "Miss!"
Bai Zhi struggled subconsciously, and the masked men couldn't hold her down for a while, so they kicked the sack a few times. Bai Zhi's breathing stagnated in pain, cold sweats ran down her body, and she curled up, unable to move for a while.
"What do you want? Money? I have money!" Bai Zhi's mind raced, and she screamed in a trembling voice, "If you spare my life, I will give you money! I will give you as much as you want!"
A masked man sneered, "Madam, are we after your money?"
These people know who I am! Bai Zhi gritted her teeth.
If you don't want money, then you are here to take my life.
It’s Ge Zhen again!
Qiaoqiao rushed over several times but was held down, still crying and shouting, "Let go of the young lady! Let go of the young lady!"
Bai Zhi bit her lip and said, "Brothers! Ge Zhen is a man who doesn't keep his word. If you kill me and take the blame for the murder, she won't give you money and will clear herself of all charges..."
The masked man ignored Bai Zhi's words, kicked her a few more times, and picked her up with one hand to take her away.
Bai Zhi was in so much pain that she couldn't even scream. She could only close her eyes and think of a solution.
What should I do? What should I do? Is there any way to survive? Or should I beg them to release Qiaoqiao?
Gu Yan promised to save our lives. His spies should have gone back to report the news. He should come to save us.
The life I just got is gone just like that, what a loss...
Bai Zhi thought more and more, and suddenly, she didn't know what happened and fell heavily to the ground.
Qiaoqiao hurriedly took off the sack and threw herself into Baizhi's arms with snot and tears: "Miss Wuuwuwuwu, how are you!"
Bai Zhi endured the pain, patted Qiaoqiao's head to comfort her, and looked around - she saw all the masked men lying on the ground groaning, and a thin man in black stood not far away.
The man in black walked over lightly and knelt on one knee in front of Bai Zhi: "Madam, the third master sent me to protect you. Do you want to kill these people?"
"Thank you." Bai Zhi couldn't muster the energy to speak, so she could only whisper, "Force them to confess, and find out who sent them here."
The black-clad men's method of forcing confessions was very simple and crude. They would pick up anyone and beat them severely. Then they would ask who sent them. If they didn't answer, they would beat them severely again. After several rounds, a big man couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed and said, "Please spare me! Please spare me! It was Concubine Song of the Marquis of Xuanping who sent us here! They gave us 100 taels of silver and a portrait of the third lady of the Marquis's mansion, and told us to tie her up and drown her in the lake!"
The man in black looked at Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi clenched her fists.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive." Bai Zhi's voice was as cold as ice. "Cut off their heads, pack them up and send them to Ge Zhen's room."
Qiaoqiao shuddered: "Miss..."
Bai Zhi said coldly: "Ge Zhen has tried to kill me time and again, step by step, does she really think I am a fish at her mercy?"
The man in black pulled out a dagger, and Bai Zhi pressed Qiaoqiao's face into his arms.
puff--
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
“Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy! Have mercy!!”
"I don't dare anymore!!!"
bang-
After a few deep noises, the alley became silent.
The man in black collected his things and prepared to leave, but Bai Zhi stopped him and said, "Wait, what's your name?"
Man in black: "Changfeng."
Bai Zhi: "Have you been following me?"
Man in black: "Yes."
Bai Zhi was so angry that her teeth itched: "Then next time I encounter danger, I call you and you must come out. You must not watch the show like you did today."
The man in black was silent for a while, then answered, "Yes."
Bai Zhi waved her hand and said, "Go away."
The man in black jumped onto the beam and disappeared in a few seconds.
Baizhi gathered her strength and took Qiaoqiao away from this dangerous place.
The two found a corner to tidy up their messy clothes and hair, and then went to the place where Qiaoqiao usually bought medicine.
When they arrived at the clinic, Qiaoqiao went in and started buying gauze and wound medicine, and then boiled a decoction as usual.
The original owner was in poor health and had some knowledge of medicine. Although he could not diagnose illnesses or write prescriptions, he could roughly recognize the appearance of medicines.
Bai Zhi then asked the shopkeeper not to boil the herbs first, but to give them to her directly, so that she could see the quality of the medicines sold outside. Why didn't her weak body get better after so many days?
The shopkeeper was holding a bag of herbs and preparing to boil some medicine. Hearing this, he paused and asked, "Young lady, you don't want to boil some medicine anymore?"
Bai Zhi was in pain and in a bad mood. She didn't have the energy to talk at this moment, so she just stretched out her hand and said, "Let me see the medicine."
The shopkeeper spoke first: "Why don't you trust our store? Would we cheat you... Hey, hey, hey! Don't grab it!"
Bai Zhi spread out the medicine bag and picked out the ingredients while muttering, "Ginseng, Chuanxiong, what is this, roasted licorice? Angelica..."
As Baizhi expected, all these medicinal herbs were of inferior quality.
Bai Zhi looked at the shopkeeper and said, "You're just selling this broken thing?"
There were other customers in the store, and they all looked over when they heard what he said. The shopkeeper couldn't save face, so he said, "Don't slander me! How can a girl like you know anything about medicinal herbs? All of my herbs are processed using secret techniques that are not passed on to others. Of course, they look different from those in other shops."
In the morning, she encountered broken corals, and in the afternoon, she encountered broken medicinal herbs. Bai Zhi thought to herself that her luck was too bad.
Before Bai Zhi could retort, a righteous voice rang out from the side: "You clearly mark the prices here. A set of third-class medicine is fifty coins, a set of second-class medicine is one coin, and a set of first-class medicine is three coins. Tell me, what grade of medicine did you give that girl, and how much did you charge?"
Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to say, "This dose of medicine costs three taels of silver!"
Several customers in the store came over to look at the herbs in Baizhi's hand. Those who knew the business accused the shopkeeper of being cruel. The shopkeeper could not stand it any longer and had to lie and say that he had taken the wrong herbs. He apologized to Baizhi repeatedly and returned all the money he had spent on the herbs.
Now she didn't have to bother talking anymore. Bai Zhi felt a little relieved. She found the young man who helped her and bowed to thank him.
The young man was dressed in the attire of a wealthy family and chuckled, "Miss Baizhi, don't you remember me?"
