Chapter 300 The mastermind behind the scenes

The boy looked young, and his voice had changed slightly because of the kick he received from Bai Ruozhu.

"Sir, my name is Wang Xi. I am seventeen this year and I am working in the Yunpinxuan waiting room."

Yunpinxuan is a small teahouse in the town, and its business is pretty good.

"Then who instigated you to frame Bai Zepei? Tell me quickly, or you will be tortured." Mr. Li was already very angry. It didn't take long for someone to frame Bai Zepei. Could it be that he had been prepared in advance?

Bai Ruozhu quietly observed Master Li's expression in the hall. Seeing that he was really angry, she was sure that this boy was not arranged by him, and then she regretted not kicking him more. So she looked at the young man with a very resentful and ruthless look. Wang Xi felt cold all over, couldn't help but tremble, and subconsciously tightened his legs.

Originally Wang Xi didn't want to confess Bai Yibo, but with Bai Ruozhu staring at him like this, he was really scared. Bai Ruozhu's kick directly gave him a deep psychological shadow. He believed that if she did it again , he will definitely explode somewhere.

"Bai Yibo asked me to do it. I, I owed him twenty taels of gambling debt. He said that if I didn't help him, he would go to my house to ask for money and force my parents to sell land and houses. I didn't do it either. There's a way." He said and started crying, "At the beginning of this year, he came to have tea and said he could chat with me. Later, he tricked me into going to the casino, blaming me for being young and frivolous, so he lost twenty Two pieces of silver."

Bai Ruozhu's family all showed contempt. This was obviously Bai Yibo's scheme. This Wang Xi was only seventeen years old, still a child. He lied to others like this. Aren't he afraid of being punished by God?

"Then today I went to watch the fun and saw him being arrested. Originally I thought he would never ask me for gambling debts, but then he took advantage of the crowd and called me over and told me that he had given the IOU to his wife. If Without his words, his wife would definitely go to my house to collect the debt if she lacked money to save him. He said that as long as I obediently do one last thing for him, the debt would be settled in full."

Wang Xi shrank his neck, "He secretly stuffed me with a piece of folded paper and told me to hide it in Bai Zepei's house. I didn't even open it because I couldn't read."

"You don't know what it is, but you dare to help him harm others, and you're not afraid of facing a serious crime?" Mr. Li asked, glaring at him.

"I'm afraid too, but my father is sick. If his wife comes to ask for money now, my father will definitely be angry to death. I..." Wang Xi cried even harder as he spoke.

Mr. Li knocked on the gavel tree to indicate silence, and then asked: "I heard what you mean, he asked you to do more than just this one thing, is there anything else?"

Wang Xi hesitated a little, and Bai Ruozhu's eyes glanced over again. Wang Xi trembled all over and said, "He once asked a villain to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake stuffed with croton powder, and asked me to give it to a child, and then asked the child to go. Tell a guy to send him to Bai Zepei's room."

Everyone suddenly realized, and Bai Zehao's face turned red with anger, "It turns out that it was you who did it in the first place. You just didn't want my second brother to take the exam. As a result, my second brother was lucky and didn't eat, but I had diarrhea for a whole day!"

"Sir Mingjian, I really don't want to help him do bad things. I have been working hard to make money and pay him back. So far I have paid back almost five taels of silver." Wang Xi said and wiped his face. His nose was muddy with tears from crying. One face.

Mr. Li asked the person in charge of recording next to him to show him the recorded confession, and then gave it to Wang Xi to hold it in custody for temporary use as evidence in court.

"Okay, let's take him to the prison and wait for the imperial envoy to interrogate him and then release him. By the way, separate him from Bai Yibo, so that Bai Yibo won't do anything behind his back again." Mr. Li ordered the officer next to him.

"Yes, sir, I'll do it right now." After the officer finished speaking, he picked up Wang Xi and took him directly to the prison.

Mr. Li looked at the Bai family in the hall and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Go back and rest quickly. I will make the decision for you on the rest."

The group thanked Mr. Li, then left the Yamen and returned to the West Courtyard.

Bai Ruozhu went to find Yu Hongxiu. Dengdeng looked like she was hungry, and Yu Hongxiu couldn't handle it even if she started crying. Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er pulled Mr. Xie to thank them, but Mr. Xie waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do. As a teacher, this is all I can do."

Bai Ruozhu went to Yu Hongxiu's place, hugged Dengdeng and wanted to go back to the west courtyard to breastfeed. Yu Hongxiu stopped her and said, "You can feed her here, and then leave the baby here with me. You guys must be very busy. "

"You can't work too hard now that you've just gotten pregnant. Why bother bothering you all the time." Bai Ruozhu shook her head and said.

"Why are you working so hard? Can't you see that I still have a maid in this house? If I want to hold the baby, the maid will hold it, and I'll just be there to see if I'm still tired? And I heard that if you look at a boy more when you're pregnant, you'll be able to give birth to a boy in the future. Come out." Yu Hongxiu said and smiled, "I don't favor boys over girls, but my husband is quite old and is very anxious to have a son to inherit the family."

When Bai Ruozhu heard what she said, she was too embarrassed to refuse, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Hongxiu." Yu Hongxiu was thinking about it for her, fearing that she had been working too hard these days.

"Silly sister, do we sisters need to be so open to the outside world? I'm so happy to see your family having fun." Yu Hongxiu said, giving her an angry look.

After Bai Ruozhu fed Deng Dun enough milk and Deng Deng fell asleep again, Bai Ruozhu just put him down and left. She touched her son's hair and thought that she would be wronged if she couldn't spend more time with him in these two days.

When they returned to the west courtyard, Bai Ruozhu found that Fang Guizhi was also injured, so Xiaosi said, "Sister Guizhi is very powerful. She beat that man with firewood."

Bai Ruozhu sighed and called the two of them over, diagnosed their pulses one by one, and applied ointment to them, and then she felt relieved.

"Ruozhu, I can't go out of the yard, and I can't help you much. I'll just cook and do housework for you at home. You just have to worry about things outside. I'll take care of the things at home." Fang Guizhi lost his previous expression. Devastated, her whole person seemed to have strengthened. It seemed that Wang Xi came in and stuffed things into her and made a big change in her.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, patted her hand and said, "It's going to be hard these days."

"We are a family, and your brother is my brother. It's not hard for me to do this, as it should be." Fang Guizhi said seriously.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at her twice. Did she really only think of Bai Zepei as her brother? Could it be that she is too worried?

Not having time to think too much about Fang Guizhi, Bai Ruozhu gave her mother a tranquilizing pill and asked her to take it and go to bed. Sure enough, the effect of the medicine started quickly and Lin Ping'er fell into a deep sleep.

"Don't bother mother. She needs a rest to recuperate after all the trouble today. Let's wake her up after dinner." Bai Ruozhu explained.

Then she looked at Bai Zehao and said, "Brother, we have to go to Houshan Village. You can go to Wang's house in person to tell us about the postponement of the wedding."
