The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 8 Cut the Tongue

He Xiang didn't expect Xu Jing to say such rebellious words, her face changed slightly and she said: "You..."

Xu Jing interrupted her calmly, "Today, even if the Holy Spirit came up, he could not convict an innocent person of guilt!"

He Xiang looked at her with a slightly pale face, and suddenly smiled coldly and said, "Just be stubborn. With Manager Mu here, you can't escape. You absolutely can't escape."

The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and her cold eyes looked at Xu Jing with a strange light, as if she had seen Xu Jing desperate and falling into hell.

Xu Jing's eyes moved slightly, and the corner of her mouth suddenly twitched slightly, "Is Manager Mu the man just now? You and your wife seem to trust that Manager Mu."

He Xiang glanced at Xu Jing with disdain, "Mr. Mu is not something a woman of unknown origin like you can talk about casually. Although he is unlucky and his family has fallen into disgrace, he still has a noble status, unlike you.

Heh, he looks so charming, who knows if he came from some dirty place. "

Chunyang and Chunxiang couldn't stand their wives being humiliated like this, so they immediately said angrily: "You!"

But Xu Jing raised her hand to stop them, looked at He Xiang with a half-smile, straightened her sleeves slowly and said: "I remember that in some previous dynasties, people with bad mouths would have their tongues cut out, so you should take care of yourself. "

He Xiang raised her lips disdainfully, and was about to say something when she suddenly noticed that the eyes of the woman in front of her were cold and quiet, as if an unsheathed knife could pierce straight into the heart.

Her heart trembled unconsciously, and suddenly she felt that her eyes seemed to be flashed by something. She subconsciously lowered her eyes and saw that the woman's right hand had reached into the sleeve of her left hand at some point, her index finger and middle finger There seems to be something sandwiched between them, and that’s where the reflection just came from!

Could it be that she is hiding some sharp weapon?
Dogs will jump over walls when they are in a hurry. Who knows what this woman will do if she is in a hurry!
Now they are riding in the same carriage. If she goes crazy, she will be the first to suffer!

He Xiang's face suddenly turned pale, she quickly averted her gaze and shrank to the corner of the carriage, not daring to speak anymore.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the county government office quietly.

Chunyang and Chunxiang got off the carriage first and stood by the carriage waiting to help Xu Jing down.

When Xu Jing bent down and walked to the carriage door, she suddenly seemed to think of something. She turned to look at He Xiang, whose face was pale all the way. She suddenly took out a palm-sized bronze comb from her left sleeve and threw it in front of He Xiang. He said condescendingly: "I saw that you were staring at my sleeves all the way. I guess you like this comb very much, so I rewarded you."

There was a hint of contempt in his tone that even a fool could hear.

This was the thing that reflected the light just now!

She was actually worried all the way because of this thing!
He Xiang stared at the comb that fell at her feet in shock. Her heart was quickly filled with anger and shame. When she raised her head and wanted to glare at the woman who had tricked her, she found that she had already got off the carriage.

She couldn't help but grit her teeth.

This damn woman!Just be proud of her!

Anyway, I won’t be proud for long!

On the other side, after Xu Jing got off the carriage, she saw the gate of the county government office was wide open. There were two government officials standing on each side of the gate. The majestic and solemn aura of the government office came to her face.

Not far away, a group of Peng family members headed by Cao glanced at her, and heard Cao say coldly: "Bring people in!"

The pretty woman who had just mocked Xu Jing in the courtyard looked at her with a look of gloating. Xu Jing remembered that others called her Aunt Xue.

Xu Jing smiled faintly, and walked into the county government office calmly with her head held high before anyone from the Peng family came over.

In the middle of the lobby, the thin and short county magistrate with a goatee was sitting at attention. His face was dark and he had two large dark circles under his eyes that could not be ignored. You could feel the dark circles on his body from a distance. There was a strong aura of exhaustion and impatience, as if someone had dug him out of bed.

Looking at Xu Jing and the Peng family who came in, he frowned, suddenly slapped his hands in shock, and said sternly: "Why are you beating drums so early in the morning to complain?"

Ms. Cao stepped forward quickly, bowed and knelt down in the courtroom and said, "I would like to inform Magistrate Sun that the woman is the wife of Juro Peng of the Hutou Village. The woman got up this morning and found that her husband was missing. She immediately sent her to the court." I asked someone to look for him, but unexpectedly...unexpectedly, I found that my husband had been killed, and the murderer was this woman!" As she said that, she turned around suddenly and pointed her finger straight at Xu Jing.

The eyes of other people also followed her movements and looked at the woman not far away.

But he saw that her dark green silk hair was pulled up hastily with only a wooden hairpin. Chunyang had just pulled it up for Xu Jing in the carriage. A few strands of broken hair fell down on her white forehead, which added to her aura. She was indescribably casual and charming. She was wearing a thin almond-colored floral skirt with a lapel and chest. Her beautiful but pale face was slightly raised, but there was no trace of panic or uneasiness on it.

Facing Cao's identification, her seductive eyes only glanced at her lightly, then walked forward calmly, saluted to County Magistrate Sun, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "County Magistrate Sun A girl named Xu came to Hutou Village more than three months ago due to family changes. The girl has always been law-abiding and has never killed anyone. Please take a closer look at it, Magistrate Sun!"

Her voice is just like her, soft and beautiful, with a hint of natural hoarseness, which is as touching as a cat's paw.

It was just the firmness and fearlessness in her voice that made everyone present who were a little confused when they first saw her come back to their senses.

The government officials standing on both sides couldn't help but look at each other in shock. They couldn't imagine that such a woman with such beauty as a fairy could kill someone!
Mrs. Cao immediately said with a green face: "You are still stubborn! My husband died in your yard! Not only our Peng family can testify to this matter, but also the villagers of Hutou Village who helped us find someone!" We also found a packed baggage from your room containing your clothes and all your money!
I know you are arrogant and unwilling to marry my husband as your concubine, but you can't just kill my husband like this! "

When the officials on both sides heard this, they suddenly looked enlightened.

Anping County is so big, and the Peng family has a big business. It is not only the top tyrant in Hutou Village, but also famous in the entire Anping County. They are all too aware of the dirty things Peng Shi has done.

In fact, some people had previously brought a lawsuit to court, saying that Peng Shiqiang had robbed civilian girls and forced innocent women to death. Just more than half a month ago, someone came to the government for this kind of thing.

However, those people were either solved by Peng Shi with money, or Magistrate Sun was too lazy to fall out with Peng Shi over this trivial matter and helped Peng Shi fool him.

After all, Peng Shi knows how to be a good person, and he gets a lot of money every year from his filial piety to County Magistrate Sun, and no one will have trouble with the money.

Unexpectedly, Peng Shi stepped on the iron plate this time and lost his life!

Hearing that Peng Shi had been killed, Magistrate Sun seemed surprised, and his face turned even darker.

Xu Jing was calm, looked at Magistrate Sun and said: "I would like to report to Magistrate Sun..."

Before he finished speaking, a government servant suddenly ran in from outside and leaned over and said something in Magistrate Sun's ear.

Magistrate Sun's expression suddenly changed, he suddenly straightened up, slapped the wall suddenly, and said sternly: "The criminal Mrs. Xu, with all the witnesses and material evidence, still dares to quibble? Come, take Mrs. Xu to the prison, choose Ask for guilt!"

This sudden change made Chunyang and Chunxiang suddenly widen their eyes with disbelief on their faces. They quickly knelt on the ground and walked forward, crying repeatedly: "We didn't kill anyone! We really didn't kill anyone! Please check it out, Magistrate Sun." ah!"

Xu Jing also turned slightly pale, and her black and white eyes fixedly looked at the man sitting high in the middle of the lobby.

However, County Magistrate Sun seemed to have confirmed the matter, and he slapped the prisoner hard and shouted: "What are you still doing? Arrest the criminal quickly!"

In the chaos, Xu Jing keenly caught the flash of panic on Magistrate Sun's face.

Immediately, she turned her head slightly and looked at Mrs. Cao and Manager Mu on the side, just in line with the eyes of Manager Mu who turned around.

Manager Mu still looked calm and silent, his gloomy gaze only stayed on Xu Jing for a moment, and then moved away.

Xu Jing even suspected that that momentary pause was not enough for the man to take her into his eyes.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, showing a cold and clear smile.

Before being escorted away by the yamen, Xu Jing saw Magistrate Sun walking down in a hurry, arranging his clothes and walking forward quickly. The expression on his face was actually nervous and a bit panicked, as if he was in a hurry to greet someone. .
