Chapter 221 Even the Swearing is Similar
Xie Xingmeng paused: "What else can I do? Of course I will... see if you are awake?"
"is it?"
"Yes! If you don't believe me, ask your disciple!" Xie Xingmeng replied with his neck stiff.
"My apprentice?" Wang Jinnian turned his gaze to Bai Zhaozhao.
Bai Zhaozhao said calmly, "Uncle Master, he must have misunderstood something, and he was just trying to feed you medicine!"
"You..." Xie Xingmeng stared at Bai Zhaozhao in disbelief. Whose disciple is this bad boy?
Wang Jinnian quickly figured out that Bai Zhaozhao had most likely fooled Xie Xingmeng, but he did not explain. Instead, he asked with a sullen face, "You're going to feed me medicine with your mouth?"
Xie Xingmeng took a few steps back in an instant: "Didn't you fail to feed him? Now that you are awake, drink the medicine yourself! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
After saying that, Xie Xingmeng ran away in a hurry.
Bai Zhaozhao laughed secretly: As expected, Wang Jinnian is the most intimidating among these three uncles!
"Is it fun?"
Looking at Wang Jinnian's half-smiley eyes, Bai Zhaozhao lowered his head slightly: "It's... it's okay!"
Wang Jin laughed young, picked up the medicine bowl and said, "You! Don't go too far, he is not just a name, he just doesn't care about you."
"Yes, uncle!"
Bai Zhaozhao was very sensible and asked curiously, "Uncle Master, do you really not mind him feeding you medicine?"
Yes, in Bai Zhaozhao's opinion, Wang Jinnian could probably guess how he drank the medicine before. What he didn't expect was that Wang Jinnian said calmly, "It's a life-saving method, what's the matter? I've seen a lot of it in the Dali Temple."
Right!
"Uncle Master, although the poison has been cured, your body needs at least a month to recover."
"okay."
After a while, Wang Jinnian saw that Bai Zhaozhao had no intention of leaving, so he asked, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, and then he heard Wang Jinnian say, "Except the person who poisoned me."
Bai Zhaozhao was discouraged again and simply said, "That's all! Uncle Master, they want to kill you, what do you have to hide?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Jinnian sighed and said, "He probably won't live long. Anyway, Zhao Zhao, don't interfere in this matter. Be obedient!"
Bai Zhaozhao had no choice but to respond: "Okay!"
In the following days, Wang Jinnian began a leisurely life of recuperation, while Xie Xingmeng would come to glance at him from time to time, and then exchange a few moves with Bai Zhaozhao.
During this period, Xie Xingmeng, like Wang Jinnian, naturally thought that Bai Zhaozhao was the disciple of his second senior brother. Thinking that his second senior brother did have a bad reputation, he accepted the fact that Bai Zhaozhao called him Master with peace of mind.
But gradually, he was surprised to find that Bai Zhaozhao's flying needle skills were very good, and many of his moves were similar to his. What was even more surprising was that Bai Zhaozhao also got the golden needle that he had made at a high price!
So sometimes he really doubted whether this disciple was accepted by his second senior brother on his behalf?
But no matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right. How can Second Brother be so kind? It's impossible!
No matter what, Bai Zhaozhao is the only youngster in the sect at present, so of course we have to cherish him!
So Xie Xingmeng became more careful in teaching Bai Zhaozhao.
"What? Disguise? Your unique skill is disguise?" Bai Zhaozhao widened his eyes in shock.
Xie Xingmeng smiled proudly: "How about it? Do you want to learn?"
“I want to learn!”
"I can teach you, but..."
Bai Zhaozhao immediately took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and presented it with both hands: "Master, it's just a small amount of money, please don't despise it!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xingmeng pushed Bai Zhaozhao's hand away: "No need for money, I'm not like that poor guy Wang Jinnian, I don't lack money!"
Bai Zhaozhao was shocked. In his eyes, Wang Jinnian was actually a poor guy?
All right! So she put the banknote away again and asked curiously, "What do you need?"
Xie Xingmeng's mouth twitched: "Nothing is missing, as long as you promise me that you will always be on my side in front of Wang Jinnian, I will teach you the art of disguise!"
"Okay!" Bai Zhaozhao agreed readily.
Xie Xingmeng was full of doubt: "Really?"
"Of course, if it's false, God will strike you with lightning!"
"..."
How come even the oath he swore is so similar to his?
While Bai Zhaozhao was happily learning the art of disguise, Bai Lin, who was far away in the capital, stirred up a bloody storm in the court.
He directly listed the corruption of dozens of officials in Jiangnan at the grand court meeting, then reported the tax shortfall of salt merchants to Emperor Yongkang, and finally took out the evidence sent by Wang Jinnian, targeting one of Qin Ge Lao's confidants.
The angry Emperor Yongkang ordered the execution of Qin Ge Lao's confidants on the spot. At the same time, he ordered the Jinyiwei to verify those officials and find the Beijing officials involved. For a time, the court was in turmoil.
Unfortunately, although the Qin Party suffered a blow, Qin Ge Lao's status did not change, because he not only proved that he had nothing to do with the incident, but also produced very good political achievements. Even half of the areas in Jiangnan had to rely on Qin Ge Lao's people to implement administrative orders.
Bai Lin did not take the opportunity to do anything extra, and continued to work in the cabinet.
Even his attitude towards Lord Qin remained the same as before, without any change.
A month later.
"Going to Jiangling?" Xie Xingmeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, let's go together!" Bai Zhaozhao responded.
"Well... I have something else to do... I won't go with you!" Xie Xingmeng declined.
Bai Zhaozhao was speechless: "Didn't you say you would teach me more?"
"Oh!" Wang Jinnian interrupted, "He doesn't dare to go."
"Who wouldn't dare?" Xie Xingmeng immediately retorted, "I really have something to do! Anyway, I'm not going! How about this, Zhaozhao, when I finish my business, I'll go to Nanling and wait for you!"
Bai Zhaozhao had no choice but to agree: "Okay!"
Just like that, Bai Zhaozhao and Wang Jinnian set off. Before leaving, He Anqi made a final effort to persuade Bai Zhaozhao.
"Are you really not going to consider it? It's not a loss to marry me. I'll give you all my private money, and I'll also give you all my father's inheritance in the future!"
Governor He: …
Bai Zhaozhao asked calmly: "How much private money do you have?"
He Anqi's eyes lit up: "One hundred taels per month!"
Bai Zhaozhao shook his head: "When I go to banquets in the capital, I always wear clothes made by Zhenbao Pavilion, and each piece costs more than a thousand taels!"
He Anqi was struck by lightning. It turned out that his whole year's private savings were not enough to buy Bai Zhaozhao a piece of clothing!
Governor He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his family property was saved.
On the official road, Bai Zhaozhao ran as fast as a bird out of a cage.
Seeing her so excited, Wang Jinnian couldn't help but ask, "Did you extort money from Xie Laogou?"
Bai Zhaozhao's face froze: "Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Uncle Master!"
"Give me half."
"…Why? I cheated it with my own skills!"
"How did you lie? Didn't you threaten him with me?"
"...Uncle Master, did you eavesdrop?"
"Do you really need to eavesdrop? He cares so much about feeding him medicine, you can use it to blackmail him!"
Bai Zhaozhao:!!!
Sure enough, there are no secrets when being with Wang Jinnian!
No wonder Xie Xingmeng told Bai Zhaozhao that he was not afraid of Wang Jinnian, but he always felt like he was running naked in front of Wang Jinnian.
