The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 21: The charm is better than a stone! (first update)
Everyone looked at Xu Jing in shock. They couldn't count how many times they were shocked by this woman today.

Only Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly took a step forward, walked to Peng Shi's body, and said quietly: "Yes, this case cannot be completed by you alone.

Peng Shi has a strong build and is taller than the average man. The Peng family is some distance away from where the body was found. It is impossible for you, a woman, to move the body from the Peng family and pretend it was killed by a knife. appearance.

What's more, according to your confession, you had already prepared arsenic, which shows that you killed someone premeditated rather than impulsively. "

Ms. Cao's face turned pale, her pupils trembled slightly, and she suddenly screamed like crazy, "No, I killed that person! I killed him alone! I also moved him to the yard of Madam Xu's house in an attempt to frame Madam Xu... …”

"Then tell me."

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and looked at her calmly, but his words had a shocking power, "How did you transport the body to Madam Xu?"

"me……"

Ms. Cao's eyes were confused and her lips were trembling. It took her a long time to say, "I used the cart..."

"Oh? Then how did you find a cart without anyone in the house and push it out of Peng's house all the way to Mrs. Xu's house without any accomplices?

Even if you really had that ability, how did you move such a strong man to the cart by yourself, and how did you stab the knife into his heart when you arrived at Mrs. Xu’s house?

The wound on the deceased's heart was not shallow. At this location, the knife should have penetrated the human bone. Ordinary women would not have the strength to directly pierce the human bone. "

Xiao Yi's expression did not change at all, he looked at Mr. Cao with sharp eyes, and asked one suffocating question after another.

Xu Jing couldn't help but look at him in slight surprise.

This man obviously didn't take a close look at the wound on Peng Shi's heart, but he immediately saw that the wound was not shallow and penetrated the bone.

She also thought that he was focused on finding out more about her and had never seriously thought about the case.

It seemed that she still underestimated him.

Seeing Mr. Cao's face getting paler and his lips trembling more and more, Xiao Yi's eyes darkened and he struck a fatal blow, "If you still insist that you did all this alone, it means you have that The strength was enough to pierce the bone with the knife.

Come, prepare a knife. Let's verify on the spot whether Mrs. Cao really has that strength. "

Cao's legs suddenly went weak, and she fell straight to the ground.

As the head wife of the Peng family, she rarely has the opportunity to do menial work, and she rarely has the opportunity to carry heavy objects.

How could she have the strength to pierce a bone with a knife like this!
Xu Jing looked at Mrs. Cao with cold eyes, suddenly sighed secretly, and said softly: "Mrs. Cao, do you really think it's worth it? You are in such a mess, and the person you are willing to protect with your life is now There was no expression at all.”

Ms. Cao's eyes widened, and there seemed to be broken glass in her eyes. She shook her head unconsciously and murmured in a low voice, "No... no..."

Xu Jing didn't seem to notice Cao's resistance. She suddenly raised her eyes, piercing her eyes like ice knives directly at Manager Mu who had been standing silently among the Peng family members. She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "You think so?" , Manager Mu..."

Before Xu Jing finished speaking, and before everyone had time to digest the shocking news, Cao suddenly had a sharp look in her eyes and rushed towards Xu Jing like crazy, "No!!! Shut up!"

Xu Jing was startled and subconsciously wanted to avoid it. However, before she could make any move, a tall and handsome black figure suddenly appeared in front of her like lightning. He raised his hand and blocked Mr. Cao aside.

Cao was knocked down to the ground by the huge impact and was quickly restrained by a group of government officials.

Xu Jing blinked, then blinked again, then looked at the man standing in front of her, opened her mouth and said, "Ah, thank you."

Xiao Yi didn't even look at her. He frowned and shook his sleeves in disgust, saying: "I just happen to be standing next to you, so I can't just sit back and watch."

"Oh."

Hearing this unfriendly answer, Xu Jing didn't care at all. She nodded and said, "That's it, but in fact, it's okay if you don't take action. I can avoid it myself."

Surrounding audience: "..."

Where did these men and women come from who are more ignorant of the charm than a stone!

Usually this kind of plot where a hero saves a beauty is followed by developments that make people think of See No Evil, Hear No Evil?How can anyone seriously talk about such a disgraceful topic as "Do I need your rescue?"

The most amazing thing is that after hearing this, the male protagonist was silent for a moment and said calmly: "That's because I was meddling in my own business."

"A bit."

The heroine nodded with recognition, and said very fairly: "But your intention to help is always good, so my thank you is appropriate."

Everyone: "..."

I am completely unable to complain.Dong Li peeked from the side: "..."

He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Originally, he had just seen that Lang Jun and the woman were cooperating tacitly, and he was still anxious and panicked, fearing that Lang Jun would be seduced by the woman, but now it proved that he was overthinking it.

but!

He seems to have come to some understanding of the reason why Lang Jun is so handsome, a famous young talent, and a new noble in the court, but he still doesn't have a decent peach blossom!

Xu Jing didn't feel the strange looks from the people around her and Xiao Yi at all, or in other words, she didn't care at all. After the danger was over, she continued to look coldly at Manager Mu, whose face was inexplicably darker, and said: "Mr. Mu, Mrs. Cao has done this for you, why don't you come out and say a word?"

This is simply saying that Manager Mu is the other murderer in this case!

Everyone's attention was drawn back, and they looked at the man who had never said a word in disbelief.

They didn't want to believe it, but looking at Cao's attitude, it was clear that this man was indeed inextricably linked to this case!
Under everyone's gaze, Manager Mu was silent for a while, and then he said slowly: "What evidence do you have to prove that I am an accomplice?"

Everyone was stunned.

Yes, although it seems now that Manager Mu is indeed related to this case, those are all speculations and there is no evidence at all!
Judging from Cao's attitude, it is clear that she wants to protect this man to death. If Cao insists that this man has nothing to do with this case, no one can do anything to him!

Xu Jing smiled softly and said coldly: "I do admire you a little. At this time, you can still be so calm. But do you think that your plan is perfect and no one can convict you?

I don’t know how you brainwashed a woman to such an extent that she is willing to live or die for you, but today I will teach you a lesson - Skynet is huge, no omissions are missed! "

She suddenly raised her legs and walked between Peng Shi and Cao, saying as she walked: "Let me recall what happened last night for you.

You and Cao had already planned to kill Peng Shi. To this end, you asked Cao to prepare lethal arsenic in advance.

However, it is easy to kill people, but difficult to escape the punishment of the law, so you have been standing still, waiting for the best opportunity.

Finally, I have been waiting for you.

Yesterday, Peng Shi sent someone to betrothal me and wanted to force me to be his concubine. I didn't give him any face and threw all his betrothal gifts away. Peng Shi was furious when he heard about it.

Just at this time, Xiao Shilang came to Anping County and was still investigating County Magistrate Sun. You know that Magistrate Sun is walking on thin ice at the moment. If Peng Shi dies, he will definitely not investigate this case seriously and will only think about closing the case early. .

You and Mr. Cao were keenly aware that this was a good opportunity to frame Peng Shi. Mr. Cao immediately persuaded Peng Shi and asked his servants to prepare a table of wine and food on the grounds that he wanted to comfort Peng Shi.

While eating with Peng Shi, Cao secretly mixed the arsenic she had prepared long ago into the food and let Peng Shi eat it.

Peng Shi, who knew nothing about it, not only ate the poisonous food, but also ate more other foods. However, after a while, Peng Shi felt dizziness, headache, painful muscle spasms, and even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. , severe cramping in the intestines.

These are all symptoms of arsenic poisoning. "

The woman's voice is calm and cold, but it makes people feel inexplicably immersive.

Many people subconsciously held their stomachs and felt that their stomachs seemed to be a little painful.

Xu Jing continued: "Although arsenic is a deadly poison, it is not a strong poison that seals the throat when blood is seen. People will not die immediately after being poisoned.

When people are in extreme pain, they will subconsciously seek to survive, and Peng Shi is no exception.

After the poison took hold, Peng Shi might have struggled to call someone, but one can imagine how could you really let him call someone over?

However, Cao was weak and unable to balance the strong and tall Peng Shi. At this critical moment, Manager Mu, who had been hiding in the dark, came out.

After you came out, you quickly restrained Peng Shi and tied Peng Shi's wrists tightly with something. "

As Xu Jing said this, she gestured to her temporary assistant with her eyes.

Her temporary assistant also came forward, immediately stepped forward, took out Peng Shi's hands, and showed everyone the marks on them.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but open wider.

Manager Mu's face, which had always been so calm that it was almost lifeless, finally changed subtly.

His face turned slightly pale, and his eyes looking at Xu Jing were filled with murderous intent.
