Ghost King's Peerless Poison Concubine

Chapter 125 Inviting Cloud Vulture Liuli to the Ministry of Punishment (2)
Beside the screen wall, a woman about 45 years old was slowly walking towards the courtyard with the help of an old woman. On her plump face, the crescent eyebrows were lightly painted, no makeup was applied, and the original appearance was maintained. The hair on the temples is as thick as lacquer, the high bun hangs down, a hollow orchid hairpin is on the hairpin, the posture is calm, the gloves are coral bracelets, the light blue narrow-sleeved jacket is worn, the white emerald brocade feather satin cloak is worn, and the rouge painted with golden flowers is underneath. The slightly upturned corners of the eyes reveal a seriousness that is not angry but majestic, and the curved and slender eyebrows are blended with gentleness that makes people feel kind and gentle in this seriousness that is not angry but majestic, as if born naturally. Nobility is revealed in her every move.

It was not only Wang Shi who was shocked, Yu Shiran was also deeply shocked. Now the half-head of the Xiao family, Xiao Fusheng's first wife, the eldest wife of the Xiao family, Xiao Mu's Mu family, and the status of the three major families are even higher than before. Jinhua, a woman who has been in charge of the Xiao family together with Xiao Fusheng for 20 years, especially in the ten years after the Yaoyue chaos ten years ago, the Xiao family is not as unknown as the Bai family and Mu family, or its status has been declining , on the contrary, the status is even worse than before, with business names all over the whole Ze country. As the family of the family, it is also the largest imperial merchant in Ze country, owning wealth second only to the royal family Xiahou's family.

It is rumored that the reason why the Xiao family is not declining but prospering is because of the existence of Mu Jinhua, who has brains, courage and methods that are no less than that of a man, which makes the business of the Xiao family and its status in Zeguo steadily improve. Hua's reputation is more well-known than Xiao Fusheng in Sucheng and even in the entire Ze Kingdom.

However, such a woman rarely appears in front of people. Most of the time, she eats fast and chant Buddha in the Buddhist hall in the backyard of the Xiao family, unless there is a large-scale imperial banquet that requires the mistress of the Xiao family to be present. Appearing in the circle of high-ranking officials at will, it is because of this that her appearance at this moment will surprise everyone.

What surprised Yu Shiran and Wang Shi was not only because of this reason, but also because the Xiao family and the Bai family had not been in contact for ten years, and they had never heard that the Xiao family and the Bai family had reconciled. When they came to Bai's house, how could they not be shocked?So forget it, it seems that Mrs. Xiao intends to help Bai Liuli, so things will become difficult.

"It turns out that Lord Wang, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is here. The women don't know, and they hope that Lord Wang will forgive the crime." Mu Jinhua walked towards the king at a leisurely pace, then stopped and bowed his head slightly, his respectful attitude was not at all like the rumors The so-called strong woman is no different from ordinary women from rich and noble families, but her self-proclaimed "civilian woman" made Wang Shi feel like a thorn in his back.

"Your official, I have seen Mrs. Xiao!" Wang Shiben's fat face turned pale at this moment, and he knelt down in front of Mu Jinhua with a trembling look, "I don't know Mrs. Xiao Madame is here, please, Madam Xiao, please forgive me for the official slip of the tongue!"

This is the eldest wife of the Xiao family, a woman who would even give some face to the current saint when she meets her, he is not something he can offend!Although Bai Liuli was so beautiful that he wished he could immediately hug her home and throw herself on the bed, but he still couldn't afford to fight Mrs. Xiao for a woman!

Wang Shi's sudden kneeling made Yu Shiran, who was about to bow to Mu Jinhua, kneel for a while, neither standing nor standing. It stands to reason that he has not been appointed as an official, and his status is lower than that of Wang Shi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Even if he is an official, It may not be higher than the official position of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the third-rank official, and Wang Shi, a fat man, actually kneels to Mrs. Xiao, so there is no reason for him not to kneel, but kneeling makes him feel inappropriate...

"Young minister Yu Shiran, I have met Mrs. Xiao." After some psychological struggle, Yu Shiran finally knelt down to Mu Jinhua, but not on both knees but on one knee.

The two men of status kneeling down to salute surprised everyone, but Mu Jinhua was not surprised, just smiled kindly, not at all unbearable, "Why do you two adults do this to me, a commoner woman?" Housewives can't afford such a big gift, so please hurry up and invite the two adults."

When Yu Shiran and Wang Shizheng got up, Mu Jinhua's gentle eyes fell on Bai Liuli who was standing three or four feet away from her, and Bai Liuli bowed slightly to her with a smile, but didn't say a word, The expression on her face was neither surprised nor surprised, which was quite different from Wang Shi and Yu Shiran's attitude and behavior, which made Mu Jinhua look at her a little more.

This is Bai Liuli, the woman who sent her the letter, the girl who can cure her An'er?She really has the demeanor of a six or seven-point warm girl.

"My son-in-law, my wife just heard that you are affirming that Miss Bai is guilty between the lines. Please forgive my wife who is old and has poor hearing. I can't hear what crime Miss Bai committed. Can I ask my master to arrest Miss Bai with Mr. Wang?" Before you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, tell the women what crime Miss Bai has committed?" The gentle but steady voice somehow made everyone present turn their attention to her when she spoke, as if Her voice has a natural force, people will automatically pay attention to her when she speaks, even Bai Liuli is no exception.

It turns out that this is Mu Jinhua, the eldest wife of the Xiao family. Although I don't know if she is better than men in business as the rumors say, but just from her words and deeds at this moment, it is not difficult to see that she is indeed comparable to men Even a woman who surpasses thousands of men.

"Biao... Patriarch Bai, she committed the crime of murder, killing the wife of the minister, Princess Xiahouluo." Yu Shiran replied calmly, he didn't believe that Mrs. Xiao's ability was greater than that of Concubine Min. , Concubine Min Gui is determined to execute the person, can Mrs. Xiao save it?
"Not only that, Patriarch Bai even tried to kill the little minister in a rage." Yu Shiran said, slightly opening his skirt, revealing his bandaged chest, and he could clearly see There was a large amount of blood on the bandage, and when everyone couldn't help being startled by the blood on Yu Shiran's chest, he slowly closed his clothes, and then raised his eyes to look at the calm Bai Liuli, "Patriarch Bai hates me for marrying a princess I can understand, but the princess is innocent, I can tolerate Patriarch Bai stabbing me countless swords, but I can't help but watch my wife die with regret..."

Yu Shiran spoke in pain and pain, and saw him slightly lowering his head, raising his hand to caress the corner of his eye, and it was faintly visible that there was a glint of water in the corner of his eye.

"Then does the son-in-law mean that he saw Patriarch Bai's face with his own eyes?" Mu Jinhua asked.

"Exactly." Yu Shiran continued to weave a lie without blushing, "Because the veil fell off her face when I was fighting Patriarch Bai, and I was distracted when I was shocked. Yu received her sword."

"I don't know the time and geometry?"

"Children."

After hearing Yu Shiran's answer, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help showing doubts on her face, "I don't know if the son-in-law has misread it. Last night, Patriarch Bai was playing chess with the women in Xiao's mansion. How can he go to the champion's mansion?" Murder?"
