The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 365 It turns out that the black hand is...

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this.

After looking around, I found the head of the old lady who is the head of the house, which is not bad.

The county magistrate was also surprised. He looked at Bai Zhi and then at the old lady, and he didn't know how to express his position.

After all, the old lady bears the status of princess, even if her mother's family has fallen, her status is there.

And Bai Zhi is the wife of the lord of Xianghe County, so she is naturally an unworthy lord.

The old lady was very calm, her face was as deep as water, she didn't refute, she just sat like that, as if she didn't hear anything.

But Tao Zi came back to her senses, pointed at Bai Zhi and cursed: "Smelly woman, you are framed."

Unexpectedly, the old lady spoke up, and said to the old housekeeper: "Someone come and take her to the courtyard for me, and slap her to remember."

The old housekeeper looked hesitant. After all, she was the eldest lady. It would not be good to be beaten in public.

"I can't speak well?"

The old lady's voice suddenly rose, and the old housekeeper responded, and ordered his servants to pull the eldest lady away, and he immediately followed.

Bai Zhi understood that it seemed that the old lady was teaching Taozi, but she was actually protecting her.

The defeat has been decided, the old lady doesn't want to involve her family.

The middle-aged woman didn't dare to speak, she just stood by, she knew her mother-in-law's character.

But at this time, the crisis had already come, she couldn't help but approached the old lady and whispered: "Mother, it's time to..."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady turned her side slightly, and again raised her voice and said: "Come here, pull this blind thing out and open its mouth for me, and take my words as a deaf ear, and insist on pretending to be big." , should be beaten. Who is Xianghe county master? A person who even wants to pay respects to an old man, even if he is an official county magistrate, shouldn’t he be called a low official in front of her? Everything depends on her wink and act?"

This rhetoric has turned to attack and ridicule on the surface, and everyone can hear the inner meaning.

The magistrate of Xianghe County is alone, even the county magistrate is against her, there is no fairness at all.

Bai Zhi smiled slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Madam, if you have any doubts, just speak up."

The old lady shook her head at her, and said sternly: "I have no doubts about the words of Xianghe County Lord. Since you found out, that is the result. I have nothing to say."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the county magistrate: "What do you think, my lord?"

The county magistrate showed embarrassment on his face, unable to respond.

The old lady's family is also very prestigious in the local area and has a distinguished status.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

If he wants to be an official here, he can't offend the old lady.

But if you don't offend the old lady and question the results of Bai Zhi's investigation, you will definitely offend Bai Zhi and Shen Guogong's mansion behind her, and it is very likely that you will lose your official title.

He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have come to this muddy water, he hesitated but didn't say a single real word.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "Old Madam, you can do another search, there is no need to use this result."

The old lady smiled faintly: "Really? As expected of Xianghe County Lord, he is from the capital, and has many tricks."

Bai Zhi saluted and said with a smile: "The old madam has won the prize, and I have to do my best to compete with a master."

"Tell me, what else do you want to investigate? I fully cooperate with you." The old lady was not affected by the results just now, she still looked like an outsider, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but secretly admired her for her calmness and calmness in the face of danger.

"Madam, may I visit your courtyard again?" She didn't answer, but asked politely.

The old lady was taken aback for a moment this time, then narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at her, and asked softly: "Master Xianghe wants to search the old man's yard again?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and nodded again, smiled apologetically and said, "That's right."

The old lady replied seriously: "I will accompany you to the end."

Immediately, she got up first and walked towards her courtyard.

Bai Zhi secretly pinched her fingers and formed a barrier around the old lady's entire courtyard with the ultimate tactic.

When the old lady walked halfway, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi asked with a puzzled face, "Old lady, what's the matter?"

The old lady's eyes were unfathomable and unfathomable, her face was as deep as water, without a trace of expression, she stared at her for a full minute, then she looked away, and asked casually: "Did Xianghe county master use a spell just now? "

A smile of success flashed in Bai Zhi's eyes, and she responded without hesitation: "Yes, how did the old lady know? Could it be that you also..."

She didn't need to say what she said later, and everyone understood.

The old lady can also spell, so she can see that she uses spells.

After all, no one else noticed that Bai Zhi was using spells secretly.

The old lady realized that she had made a mistake in her desperation, so she pretended that she had not heard her words and defended without leaving any trace.

"I'm just guessing. Explosives can be hidden under the bed in the boudoir, and the woman's shoe mat is underground. What else can't be done by magic? It's not surprising that there are things that shouldn't appear in my courtyard out of thin air, after all You are highly skilled."

Bai Zhi smiled, she was paving the way for someone who might be proven to be the mastermind again.

At that time, I will say back that she used magic to frame her.

"Spell is not omnipotent, it's just a means, just like martial arts."

"Really, the old man wants to see how Xianghe county master finds out the so-called result again." The old lady snorted disdainfully.

Her current attitude is no longer that of the kind and understanding old man she used to be.

Bai Zhi didn't care about it, but calmly led the crowd to search for something in front of and behind the house in the courtyard.

Suddenly she stopped at the door of a small warehouse, pointed to the room and asked inexplicably, "Old lady, why are there so many charcoals here?"

There was a strange look in the old lady's eyes, and she snorted softly: "The kitchen is next to it, so there will naturally be charcoal. I like to eat barbecue, whether it is chicken, duck, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, etc. Most of them are roasted and eaten. These people in the house love Know."

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and walked in first. There was so much charcoal that there was no place to set foot.

Then she withdrew from the cottage and continued to the small garden behind the house.

The door of the small garden was locked, Bai Zhi asked puzzledly: "Is there something closed there?"

The old lady replied lightly: "No, it's just Laoshen's vegetable garden and garden there. This side is far away from the capital, so I found some flowers and vegetable seeds over there, and made this small garden, just when I miss my hometown. It's a pastime. People, the older you get, the easier it is to immerse yourself in the memories of the past."

Hearing her emotion, Bai Zhi nodded understandingly: "I can understand the old lady's mood. I have been homesick for a few days after I came out, not to mention that you are married here and haven't been back for many years. If you take the liberty to ask, can you Why don't you go in and have a look?"

The old lady snorted and asked back, "Can you refuse?"

Bai Zhi saluted the old lady: "Thank you, old lady, for your cooperation."

The old lady turned her head to look at the old butler, motioning him to open the door of the small garden.
