Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 174 The Pit Depth 052 Meters Heaven's Secret (4)
She praised loudly, but after struggling with the strap of the cloak for a long time, she couldn't help but sigh again, "You are considered filial. But next time, can you help me put it on yourself?"

She was so shameless that Xiao Qian's face turned dark instantly.

At the end of the afternoon, the sky was almost completely dark, with clusters of dark clouds hanging over it, like a landscape painting drawn in thick ink.

Xiao Qian and his party stepped on the mud, got out of the river bank, and rode back to the house again.Unexpectedly, there were many people blocking the gate of the house, including Gu Er who Mo Jiu knew well, and an old man in the uniform of a first-rank Nanrong official.

His eyes are piercing, and he is old, but his every move has a certain momentum and courage, and his eyes are sharp enough.

"Xiao Shijun, you have worked hard."

Xiao Qian nodded his head in greeting, polite and courteous, but his words were not too respectful, "Prime Minister has worked tirelessly to control the water in Chuzhou, and you have worked hard too."

The two of you come and go to each other politely, hiding their wits.

Mo Jiu listened, and finally understood who this person was - Prime Minister Xie Chen, Xie Bingsheng's father.

However, she didn't have much interest in this old man who had admired his name for a long time.She didn't want to be promoted, and she didn't want to get rich. These people's affairs had nothing to do with her. Her clothes were soaked at the moment, and she just wanted to go in and change, so she turned around silently, without looking at him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chen would call out to him, "Is this the Feng Shui master Xiao Shijun invited from other places?"

Apart from the guards, Xiao Qian had only Mo Jiu, an unfamiliar face, so he could be guessed that he was the "Jiu Ye" without thinking about it.

Mo Jiu was not surprised that he would know.

But he was surprised why Gu Er didn't tell him the truth.

She turned her head quietly, looked at Xie Chen's unfriendly gaze, neither asked nor left.Xie Chen looked at her for a moment, probably felt that there was no point in arguing with a commoner, so he snorted coldly, then stared at Xiao Qian.

"A sorcerer of the rivers and lakes deceives the crowd and disrupts the court's water control. Mr. Xiao not only does not punish him, but also treats him as a guest at the seat. Aren't you afraid that the officials will blame him?"

Before Xiao Qian answered, Mo Jiu interjected unhappily, "This old man is so strange, I have never seen your ancestral grave, nor have I found a feng shui for your family's grave, how dare you assert that I am trying to deceive the public?" ?”

Xie Chen didn't know Mo Jiu, and only regarded her as a feng shui master invited by Xiao Qian. He didn't expect that this charlatan would be so courageous that he dared to talk back to the current prime minister, so he couldn't help but look at her more.

"Also." Mo Jiu interrupted him, "You always say that the official family will blame you, as if the official family's country is your Xie family's country, as if your prime minister's meaning represents the official family's meaning. The prime minister Sin, I'm afraid it will be bigger?"

Her few words were lukewarm, but she beat Xie Chen out of breath.

At the gate of this house, there are forbidden troops, guards, and attendants. The personnel are extremely complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee that such rumors will not spread.Although he didn't have any thoughts, once rumors spread to the emperor's ears, the dark ghost born of suspicion would be enough for him to drink a pot.

So he changed the subject, and instead of arguing with Mo Jiu, he walked towards Xiao Qian step by step with a fat belly, "There was a murder case in Zhaoji Town, so you know?"

Xiao Qian said coldly: "This seat is in charge of cleaning up the river bank and building embankments. I am neither a criminal nor a county official. What does it have to do with me?"

Xie Chen is familiar with such indifference.

He went a step further and said with a snort, "But Shijun Xiao let a charlatan lie beside the Tiannv Stone to confuse the crowd, but it is related to this case."

Xiao Qian narrowed his careless eyes slightly.

One old and one young, one ugly and one handsome.He and Xie Chen looked at each other, without saying a word for a long time, there seemed to be air-conditioning passing by around, and the low-pressure sky was so stagnant that it was difficult to breathe smoothly.

"Xiao Shijun really doesn't know?" Xie Chen was aggressive.

In Xiao Qian's indifferent cool eyes, there was a deep murderous look passing by, which made people feel a little confused, but when he looked carefully, he could still only see his calm and handsome face. A smile popped up from the corner of his mouth.

"I don't understand what the prime minister said."

His cool smile, like the letter of a poisonous snake, is also like a dark cloud of low pressure in the sky, which is pressed down bit by bit after a height of [-] feet.

Xie Chen suddenly didn't dare to confront him head-on.

Taking a step back, he glanced at Gu Er, "Don't hesitate to report to Shijun Xiao."

Gu Er had no choice but to step forward, his eyes indifferent, as if he had never seen Mo Jiu at all, or said he didn't know Mo Jiu at all, with a serious face: "Responding to Mr. Xiao, there is a couple in Zhaoji Town. Husband today She died strangely at home, and her life was cut off. The woman was still alive, but her tongue was also cut off, and she is still unconscious."

Mo Jiu didn't look at Gu Er either, but acted as if he didn't know him, smiled and thanked Chen, as if it was a matter of course, "Forgive me, the Prime Minister is afraid that he is old and confused, right? Don't rush to ask the Criminal and Prison Department to investigate such a matter." , but found Xiao Shijun's door to mess around, disregarding public and private, avenging private revenge, are you not afraid that Shijun will play you?"

This kid is young but sharp-tongued, Xie Chen is extremely impatient with him.But according to his status as the prime minister, if he directly argues with a charlatan on the spot, it will inevitably cause people to laugh, but if he ignores it, he will poke a sentence from time to time, and his heart will hurt.

Neither the left nor the right, so he held back his anger and looked away from Mo Jiu's gorgeous face, even if he wanted to crush him into meat, he could only pretend that he didn't hear.

Gu Er glanced at her, then lowered his head slightly, and continued: "Mr. Xiao doesn't know something. Originally, this case should be handed over to the courts, but the villagers prevented her from conducting an autopsy, and the doctor was not allowed to treat the lady's injuries."

Xiao Qian's eyes flashed coldly, and he didn't speak to him.Only Xue Fang glanced at him and asked for him, "Why?"

Gu Er's voice was a bit heavy, "The villagers said that the husband of this family must be the one who had an affair with the goddess, and this angered the third prince of the Dragon King and killed him. If he punishes his wife and avenges him, he will definitely annoy him." The East China Sea, another flood..."

Mo Jiu: "..."
