The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 47 Bai Qianxi I am the one protecting people

The crowd had rarely seen anything, and they came here just to make trouble and watch the fun. Now seeing Bai Qianxi's momentum, they immediately began to retreat.

When two men in the crowd saw the people like this, they looked at each other and shouted.

"We are just seeking justice. Although we are just ordinary people, our lives are still human. You rely on your family's wealth and power to do such a conscienceless thing, and you still have the nerve to threaten us!"

"That's right! The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You disregard human life, so you should close the door and report to the authorities!"

"Yes, we shouldn't be afraid of her. There are so many of us. What can she do to us with just a few people?"

"That's right! I heard that she is just a concubine's daughter of a minor official, and she is not favored. Her status is not much higher than ours!"

Everyone in the crowd was talking to each other, encouraging everyone.

Bai Qianxi's eyes were cold, and her gaze was always on the most provocative people. She spoke slowly.

"You said you were ordinary people, but how did you find out about my background? You even know my family affairs, such as whether I am favored or not!"

The person who spoke was stunned, and then said in a panic, "I... I also heard it from others!"

"Who said that, and where?"

"...This...you are clearly changing the subject! We are here to seek justice today. This person died on the way after eating your medicinal food!"

"Wuwuwu... Pay my husband back! You murderer! My husband was fine when he went out yesterday, saying he was going to eat some medicinal food. If I hadn't suddenly had something to do and didn't go, I would have been killed by your medicinal food!"

The woman's miserable cries drowned out the surrounding discussions and also aroused public anger, with even more fierce shouts coming one after another.

Bai Qianxi looked at the woman who was speaking. Her sad expression didn't seem fake. She couldn't help but frown and spoke softly.

"Are you and your husband on good terms?"

"Of course, he treats me very well. He even brings me food when he goes out to eat! I didn't expect... I didn't expect that yesterday would be the last time I saw him! Wuuuuuu..." The woman cried, and suddenly raised her head, looking at Bai Qianxi with a fierce look, "You are a woman who takes human life lightly. If you don't give me justice, I will hit my head and die in front of your house, so that you can't continue to hurt people!"

"There is nothing wrong with my medicinal food. Don't you find it strange? Why are so many people fine after eating it, but your husband got into trouble?"

Bai Qianxi approached the woman, her eyes sincere, and continued, "Let me see his body, maybe I can give you an answer!"

Faced with Bai Qianxi's approach, the woman's nerves tensed up, but when she felt her kindness, she unconsciously relaxed her expression, but there was still vigilance in her eyes.

The man who had been inciting the crowd just now spoke up, "No! We can't let her see it. I heard that she has a lot of tricks. What if she does something to the corpse again!"

"Yes, we can't let her see it! This woman is very vicious!"

Bai Qianxi stood up straight, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bone-chilling coldness, "If you knew I was not favored, and knew my identity, it would be understandable. What? That gossiper also told you about my habits. Didn't he tell you what methods I have?"

She spoke each word with great intensity, forcing the man to step back. It was only when his companion helped him that he found his foothold and stood firmly. He forced himself not to panic and shouted loudly.

"If you don't have any means, how could you harm someone? Who knows if you want to destroy the body or not?"

"Heh... so many people are watching, how can I destroy the body? I see you are trying to stop me because you don't want me to see anything!"

Bai Qianxi's voice was cold. Seeing that the man was about to refute, she did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the woman and said, "You don't want your husband to die in vain, do you?"

"This woman is very vicious. We can't let her see it! When the government officials come, there will naturally be a coroner!"

"That's right, she just wanted to get away with it! She tampered with the corpse in advance!" "..."

“Okay! I agree!”

Just as several people were arguing, a woman's firm voice rang out, and everyone was surprised.

Bai Qianxi did smile, "Xiao Qi, move a chair and let this girl rest for a while!"

"No, I'll be fine right here!"

Bai Qianxi did not refute. She slowly squatted in front of the corpse and uncovered the white cloth!
A bloodless, livid face came into view...

As if she saw the deceased again, the woman next to her couldn't help crying again.

The people around also sighed, but Bai Qianxi was not affected at all. She just glanced away from the dead man's face, and then the entire white cloth was completely removed.

"The government is investigating a case, all outsiders please step back!"

A loud announcement was made, and then a group of people dressed in yamen uniforms came over. The leading man was dressed in a red official uniform, and his narrow and long drooping eyes revealed an aura of cunning and shrewdness. This man was Lord Zheng from the yamen. Some minor cases among the people were tried by him personally, but he also had another identity, that is, Zheng Zheng, the distant cousin of Madam Li from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Who told you to move the corpse? Do you know that this is evidence?" the leading man shouted harshly.

"Sir, you are finally here. This woman is the owner of the herbal medicine shop. We just tried to stop her from looking at the body, but she didn't listen. I think she just wants to destroy the evidence. You should arrest her!"

Bai Qianxi stood up, her face normal, with a pair of phoenix eyes full of scrutiny, "No wonder my people reported to the authorities early in the morning, but no one from the government came. It turns out that it was Lord Zheng who was on duty today!"

If she was just guessing the culprit just now, now after hearing Xiao Qi's introduction of this person, she understood who was the culprit.

It's the Li family again! They're still haunting us!
When Zheng Zheng heard that she recognized him, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise. After looking her over, he still didn't recognize her. He felt a little bored. At the same time, his face regained its arrogance and he spoke to the person next to him.

"Come here, seal up the herbal medicine shop, arrest all the people involved, and bring them back to the government!"

"Wait a minute!" Bai Qianxi said coldly!
"I am doing business seriously. Arresting people requires evidence. Moreover, there are many people watching here. If I cannot resolve the issue today, it will definitely affect my reputation! If you want to try someone, do it here!"

"The body is still lying here. You are trying to make excuses. If you are really not guilty, I will clear your name!" Zheng Zheng said with a curl of his lips.

Bai Qianxi sneered, "If someone places a corpse in front of your house, you will also be considered a murderer!"

"What nonsense!"

"You all know that this is not true. Why do I become a murderer just because there is a body in front of my herbal medicine shop? Since the body is here, please ask the coroner to come and perform an autopsy on the spot! Give my herbal medicine shop a clean name!"

Bai Qianxi spoke word by word, her dark eyes carrying a penetrating light, as if she could see through people.

What a joke! She could go with them, but if the corpse was moved and they took the opportunity to tamper with it and destroy it, then she would have no explanation!

Zheng Zheng was really stunned, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble a little. His narrow eyes made people feel disgusted. "I have the final say here. Come on, take him away!"

"How dare you..."

"Your Highness has not returned to the city for a long time. Is it up to Lord Zheng to decide on this matter?"

Bai Qianxi turned around in surprise and saw Ye Beiyi's slender figure coming towards her with the wind. He pursed his lips slightly, and his white jawline seemed to be carved by a knife, smooth and firm. The bronze ghost mask looked mysterious and dangerous in the sunlight.
