2169 The most dangerous place is the safest place
Zheng Qiu had already checked on third master Bai. The cause of death was the same as Bai Shijie ‘s-suffocation. However, Bai Shijie’s stomach had residual poison, while third master Bai’s body did not have anything suspicious. However, there was something wrong with the incense in the censer in his study.
The joss stick had finished burning. Gu Xin found the corpse of an insect under third master Bai’s desk.
In this season, the incense burner was used to repel mosquitoes. However, not only did this incense not repel mosquitoes, but it also made all the mosquitoes come here and never return.
Bai Shijun finally spoke,”if the princess doesn’t mind the trouble, then go!” There’s nothing in my room that can’t be seen.”
Gu Xin looked at him and gave him a meaningful smile.
Thus, the group of people was brought to the second branch’s courtyard.
Gu Xin called over a familiar looking Ying family soldier and told him to go down to the Lotus pond to see which pond the second branch’s lotus pond was connected to.
Thailand was close to the sea, and the Ying family Army had their own Navy. It just so happened that Gu Xin recognized this young general and knew that he was good at swimming. This was something Peng ze had mentioned to her before when they returned from the West.
Peng ze was in charge of the Navy in kunzhou, so he had some understanding of the Navy soldiers in Jiangnan and Jinzhou who were good at swimming.
Without saying a word, the man jumped into the Lotus pond.
The second elder frowned and looked at Bai Shijun, but Bai Shijun was very calm.
Gu Xin glanced at Bai Shijun and did not say anything.
Bai Shijun brought Gu Xin and the rest to his room.
In other large families, children would not live in the same courtyard as their parents when they grew up. Most of them would have their own courtyard.
However, it was different in the Bai family. In the Bai family, unless they were married, they would live in the same courtyard as their parents.
The Donglin Palace was built on the land that the Donglin King had chosen.
At that time, the king of Dong Lin was fighting a war outside and had little contact with his sons. He felt that he had let his children down, so in order to not let his sons be too far away from his grandson, he made this rule.
He built a courtyard for each house, and each courtyard could accommodate more than eight Masters. He hoped to have more children and grandchildren, even though his sons basically only had two children, and Bai Laosi only had one child.
Because of the princess’s insistence, the sons of the Bai family did not dare to take in concubines, so each room was very spacious.
For example, although Bai Shijun’s room was not as small as Bai Shijie’s, who had a family, and had a small courtyard alone with his wife and children, his two rooms were relatively large.
The calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the antique vases on the antique shelves, and all kinds of elegant decorations all showed Bai Shijun’s hobby.
There was a large room further in from the outer room. Entering from the outer room was a fresh and elegant study, separated by a long screen, and further in was the bedroom.
The study room only had things for scholars.
search the rooms of second young master Bai and his servants. Search them all, especially their wet clothes! Gu Xin entered the bedroom and immediately gave the order.
“Yes!” Constable Gao led his men to search.
Gu Xin walked to the shelf outside and touched a vase on the second floor, ” “Second young master Bai, I’m sure you know that the most dangerous place is the safest place, right?”
“Princess, what do you mean?” Bai Shijun’s eyes flickered.
