Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 255 So what if there is no evidence?
  "I didn't expect that the Ninth Young Master would not forget to investigate this case while rescuing the prince. He is really conscientious in his duties." Bai Yifei narrowed his oppressive eyes slightly and stared at Han Fei.

Han Fei completely pretended that he couldn't hear the neutral tone of the other party's words, waved his hand, and said with some complacency and humility:
  "No, no, the Marquis is ridiculous. As a Sikou, this is just what you should do."

Then Han Fei asked:

"I wonder if the Marquis has thought about the reason why those assassins attacked the Marquis after a few days?"

When Bai Yifei heard Han Fei ask this, his heart skipped a beat. This question was a bit sensitive...

"I don't know. There may be many. It's difficult for me to make a judgment." Bai Yifei slowly shook his head and gave a vague response.

"That's it..." Han Fei smiled slightly, "Then I found out something. Those assassins seemed to be for a secret that the Marquis knew, so they were actually out to capture you, Marquis, not to kill you that day."

"Secret?" Bai Yifei gave a fake smile, "Ninth Young Master should know very well that given my status, secrets are inevitable."

"Of course I understand this." Han Fei responded immediately and continued, "But when I rescued the prince earlier, I happened to meet the people who attacked the marquis. They seemed to be eyeing the abandoned prince of Baiyue who kidnapped the prince - —Red-browed Dragon Snake Tianze."

"Back then, Lord Marquis, you personally conquered the rebels he led. I wonder... is there any connection between them?"

The cold light in Bai Yifei's eyes flashed away, and he hid it very well. He still maintained a faint sneer and asked instead:

"So, Ninth Young Master has caught the assassin who attacked me?"

"That's not true." Han Fei shook his head with a pity look on his face, "Those people were really difficult to deal with, and I couldn't catch them."

"We haven't caught it... In other words, what Ninth Young Master knows so far is still speculation?" Bai Yifei continued to ask, his voice soft and steady, without any emotion.

"Yes, it's a guess." Han Fei stared at Bai Yifei closely, with an unknown smile on his lips, "But isn't the guess enough?"

"In this court, the person who likes to talk about evidence the most is probably me, Han Fei. Others... may not, and there are many things that cannot be talked about with evidence, and there is no need to talk about evidence."

"What do you think, Mr. Hou?"

Bai Yifei and Han Fei looked at each other, one with a cold face, the other with a smile.

After looking at each other for a long time, Bai Yifei replied slowly:

"Ninth Young Master is right. A guess is often enough."

"Well...it would be best if Mr. Hou understands." Han Fei grinned, "Although my father will no longer pursue this case, I will still...try my best to help Mr. Hou find out the truth. Please Mr. Hou rest assured."

"There's nothing else going on, so we won't disturb Mr. Hou as he continues to recuperate and take our leave." Han Fei stood up and cupped his hands.

Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang on the side also stood up and said goodbye.

"Haha, the Marquis Mansion is still in a mess and it is not convenient to entertain guests. It is really rude for the Ninth Young Master to always come and go in a hurry." Bai Yifei still didn't leave anyone behind and said casually.

"You're welcome, Lord Marquis. It's Han Fei who's been bothering me many times." Han Fei also said politely, "Master Marquis is injured, so there's no need to send him far away."

After that, Han Fei and the other three turned around and left. When they walked to the door, Han Fei said one last sentence:

"Master Hou, I hope you can think about what Han Fei said just now. If you remember anything, please let me know at any time."

Bai Yifei watched Han Fei and the others leaving, tapping his fingers on the table in front of him, his pale face a little uncertain. When Han Fei said "think about it", it was obvious that he was referring to the reason why he wanted to be assassinated, but in fact it was asking him to think about whether he was willing to hand over the antidote.

After Han Fei left the Hou Mansion, he said to the two people beside him:
  "Looking at Mr. Bai, this matter is still very important to him."

Wei Zhuang replied calmly, "The more important it is, the more troublesome it will be. This is not a good choice."

Zhang Liang also had some doubts at this time:

"Brother Han, if you use this to blackmail Bai Yifei, I'm afraid there will be backlash. Moreover, Tianze behaves wildly, wantonly and boldly, and is involved in a lot of troubles. I don't think he is a good partner for cooperation."

"Tianze... does have many shortcomings, but it also has advantages. We can't get many helpers. Besides, with Brother Gu and Yan Lingji as buffers, it can be an option." Han Fei listened to the two of them. He pursed his lips and nodded, explaining, "As for Bai Yifei... He is a hereditary marquis and a general who leads the army, but he is also a qualified politician. It is his instinct to weigh the pros and cons. Quicksand and him Maybe it won’t be so tit-for-tat.”

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly, "I hope things go as you expect."

"Haha, Brother Wei Zhuang, you have to have confidence in me."

Han Fei smiled brightly and reached out to hook Weizhuang's shoulder, but he was dodged by the other party. Then Han Fei, who was unwilling to give up, went to pick up Zhang Liang again. The weak ovary could not avoid it and could only smile bitterly and was forced to fight with him. Han Fei hugged each other on the street.

………………

Today, a very rare guest came to the hospital early in the morning - Feiyan.

When Gu Xun saw her walking in, he couldn't help but put down the idle book in his hand, stood up and greeted her:
  "Hey, Miss Feiyan, you are a rare visitor. Why are you free to visit Gu's medical clinic today?"

"Oh, I fought with Mr. Xiang before and I suffered some injuries. I would like to see Dr. Gu for treatment." Feiyan explained with a graceful nod.

"That's it..." Gu Xun pointed to the chair in front of the counter, "Please sit down first."

"Yeah." Feiyan didn't say anything, just hummed and sat down.

Chen He, who was cutting medicine on the side, stopped what he was doing and stared at Feiyan's side indifferently.

"Um...is it convenient to check your pulse?" Gu Xun waited for her to finish, then leaned forward and put his hands on the counter and asked.

As a qualified doctor, to avoid suspicion, you still have to ask women. Although girls in this era are quite open-minded, generally no one is taboo about this.

Feiyan was no exception, nodding slightly, "It doesn't matter, people in the world don't have to pay attention to this."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender white hands.

Gu Xun glanced briefly and said, "Well...the hands are very beautiful and the skin is also very good."

Speaking of which, Gu Xun found that Fei Yan and Yan Ling Ji seemed to have better-looking hands than Zi Nu and Jing Salamander - was it because they needed to form seals to perform Yin Yang and Fire Witchcraft?

"Ahem!" With a slight cough, Gu Xun restrained his divergent thoughts and stretched out three fingers to rest on Fei Yan's Hao wrist.

Hmm... After taking a pulse, Gu Xun found that she was really hurt. Her internal organs were shaken and her breath was unstable. The problem was not big, but her qi flow might have been a little stagnant in the past few days.

I don't know if he was injured accidentally from the battle with Xiangjun last night with real swords or guns, or if he was holding it back because he wanted to see a doctor.
