After time-traveling, the farming female supporting role turned over with cannon fodder and salted f

Chapter 21 Speechless
He is an old fox, he will not be so stupid as to shoot himself in the foot.

"Come on, drag it down and hit the [-]th board again!" Li Juegong whispered coldly.

The guard couldn't believe it, but he was dragged down with a pale face.

"Your Excellency is wise, if there were more talented and virtuous ministers like you in the Wei Kingdom, I am afraid that the country would have prospered already. Unfortunately, it happened to be my destiny in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a smart person, Duke, he naturally complied with the destiny." Xiao Xiao Ning walked to the side and sat down while talking, with a relaxed posture.

Duke Li's calm face finally changed, like swallowing a fly.

"My private affairs are settled, what is Duke Li's business?" Xiao Ning gave him a blow, if he doesn't give him some sweets, it will not end well.

Li Jue just straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know where the Fourth Highness is now, Miss Xiao is a woman who manages such a big restaurant, why doesn't he come out to help?"

Xiao Ning didn't take it seriously, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea: "It's just a restaurant, it's not worth my husband's troubles. His mind should be used on grand plans, and he can't be like some dudes who set up a shop and sell drugs to their slaves." , let people seal up the restaurant."

It was obviously Li Yi who said this, and it was like an invisible slap in the face, which slapped Duke Li hard on the face.

"As the saying goes, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world. If you don't take care of this restaurant well, then there's no great cause for success." Li Juegong said in a cold voice.

Xiao Ning nodded repeatedly, clapped his hands and said: "Young Duke is right, so if some mud can't support the wall, it's a waste of effort."

She fought back and forth, and then ruthlessly countered the army.

Li Juegong's complexion has become a little ferocious, and his eyes also showed fire, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Xiao, where is the Fourth Highness?"

"Why should I tell you." Xiao Ning chuckled coldly, "Young Duke and Husband are neither related nor related, you have so much going on every day, why don't you have time to worry about him?"

Li Juegong's breathing was getting heavy, he stood up, slightly sullen: "I said that I came here for business! Miss Xiao is obstructing you, is she trying to protect you? Do you know what the Fourth Highness has done!"

Xiao Ning didn't change his face, and said softly: "You can't just buy the legendary cup of spring and murder your girl from the Li family, right?"

Her words were thorny, piercing Duke Li's heart with precision.

"It's the assassination concubine!" Duke Li stepped forward with a threatening look.

Xiao Ning's heart tightened, but his face was still calm.

"Which concubine, does killing her do any good to my husband?"

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, killing a concubine is better than killing a courtier casually.Although Si Ruiyan didn't know what happened last night, he would not do such a useless act as assassinating the concubine.

"Then I have to ask the Fourth Highness to come out and explain it carefully." Li Juegong snorted coldly and whispered, raised his eyes and scanned the attic, "Come here! Search!"

The guards behind him rushed into the restaurant like fish, and the two rows on the left and right went up to the attic, rushing wildly for a while, and the waiters on the upstairs were all in a mess.

"Looking at how calm Miss Xiao is, I don't think the Fourth Highness is here anymore." Duke Li sneered, but he didn't let his subordinates stop, and continued to let them disturb the restaurant.

"Husband never comes to the restaurant, Duke Li can always find out if he inquires." Xiao Ning spoke softly, as if talking about family affairs.

He didn't inquire about things that could be known casually, which shows how stupid he is as a duke.Although the words are light, the insult in them is very serious.

"Harboring criminals is the same crime. Ms. Xiao should stop being a slave to a tiger. If you hand over the Fourth Highness earlier, I can say a few more good words for you." Li Juegong put his hands on his back, and his chin was slightly raised.

Xiao Ning saw his arrogant and proud appearance, which was exactly the same as Li Yi.

"It's a pity, I just don't like to listen to good words!" Xiao Ning stood up and looked him in the eyes, and took a step forward without fear, "If you have not been convicted in court, you are not a criminal if you are not convicted. Duke Li To convict a person with just a single sentence, isn't that a reversal of truth and a disregard for human life?"

She didn't wait for Duke Li to reply, and said immediately: "Although I'm a girl, I also heard that this courtier doesn't know right from wrong, and whoever convicts people randomly is abusing his power. With his status, Duke Li has wronged the prince of a neighboring country." , it’s definitely an extra crime, and I’m afraid that even the title won by our ancestors will be lost.”

Duke Li's face changed in shock, and his body was a little unsteady.

"Just now, the people who watched the excitement outside heard what you said. Lord Li's voice is full of vigor, and he must be able to fight for a bite of food with his body even if he has been deprived of his title."

Xiao Ning said in a joking tone, and glanced at the onlookers outside the restaurant.

Although Xiao Ning knew that Mr. Wei's status was much higher than that of her Xiao family, but for what Duke Li said just now, it was clearly his fault.

Since it was obvious that he was at fault, she had nothing to be afraid of. By the way, she took advantage of the common people's power to frustrate the arrogance of this noble man.

"Look at my mouth, duke, don't care about me. I'm just a cowardly and ignorant girl who can only embroider at home. I don't mean any malice. If I want to say something, I shouldn't." What you said, you are a lot of adults, don't bother with me." Xiao Ning chuckled, and straightly rounded up the words, not giving Duke Li any chance to criticize.

Duke Li's face turned green and red. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, few people dared to show him such a face. These words were just what he told Xiao Ning not to care about his bodyguards, but unexpectedly, he was turned down. Hit a stick.

"Even if you are an ordinary person, you have to cooperate with the investigation. Your Highness Fourth, please come out. The assassin was hit by an arrow last night, and he can be innocent as long as he has an inspection." Duke Li suppressed the anger in his heart, and he Know what is the purpose of coming today.

Xiao Ning didn't expect that this outburst would not cause him to make a fuss, as expected, the duke still held his breath.

"The assassin was wounded by an arrow, so why did he escape? Could it be that the guards around the concubine couldn't even catch a wounded person?" She calmly asked first. Although Si Ruiyan was also injured by an arrow, But not necessarily a coincidence.

"The assassin was insidious and cunning. He came prepared and planned his escape route. The guards were busy taking care of the concubine, so they neglected the assassin. Girl, you'd better not ask about some things." Duke Li said coldly. whisper.

Xiao Ning stepped forward and raised his eyebrows: "What if I have to ask?"

Li Juegong was startled, suddenly speechless.

"The law of this court does not say that it is a crime to ask too many questions, but it is a crime to arrest people indiscriminately. Does Duke Li have an arrest warrant?" Xiao Ning asked coldly.

The officials of the imperial court performed their own duties, and Duke Li did not have the duty of prison.If he didn't come by order, then he did it in private.Without an arrest warrant, let alone arresting Si Ruiyan, he wouldn't be able to take away even a boy in a restaurant.

"So Miss Xiao is going to protect your husband?" Duke Li narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of cunning.

"Yes so what." Xiao Ning's tone was not a rhetorical question, but affirmative, "He is my husband, shouldn't I protect him? In other words, if the eldest son is not acting according to the emperor's order, the duke will also find ways Protect Young Master Ling?"

The stupid thing Li Yi committed was a thorn in Duke Li's heart. As long as Xiao Ning mentioned it repeatedly, Duke Li would feel like a pain in his back.

"The Li family is devoted to the imperial court and will never do anything to protect them!" Duke Li's voice suddenly became high-pitched, his eyes widened, "Miss Xiao, you are also a lady from a famous family, don't you understand the principle of killing relatives righteously?
