Ghost doctor: Princess please come to the throne

Chapter 1179 Conspiracy?

Chapter 1179: Conspiracy?

Mu Xi frowned, and said in a bad tone: "Then what's the matter with my cousin?"

The little gangster said aggrievedly: "For no reason, how dare brothers provoke your cousin?"

He pointed at the girl in white with resentment, "It's all to blame for that bitch, who lied to your cousin and made your cousin think that we were villains who robbed civilian girls. Back then, we were anxious to take that bitch back. Only offended your girl, the villain deserves to die..."

As he spoke, he slapped himself mercilessly on the mouth a few times, until his face was swollen.

Seeing this, Qiulan looked at the girl in white: "You really bought it from Mudanlou?"

The girl in white was crying pear blossoms with rain, her face was like snow, she knelt down softly and said, "Sister, listen to my explanation, I didn't enter the Peony Tower voluntarily, but my uncle lied to me, saying that I was going to be a maid in a rich family. But they sold me into the Peony Building. They forced my good into prostitution, and sold my good into cheap, so the little girl couldn't bear the humiliation..."

She choked up and wiped away her tears, as if she couldn't continue.

The onlookers, who had been helpless before, started pointing at this time, saying that the girl in white was pitiful, and scolding Mudanlou and the unscrupulous uncle for their conscience.

Mu Xi stared at the gangsters under his feet and said, "Is she telling the truth?"

The gangsters didn't dare to tell lies, and said with a mournful face: "Master, we just arrest people, who knows how she got into the Peony Building..."

Mu Xi kicked out the gangster under his feet, and said coldly: "So, it really is your Peony House who forced you into prostitution?"

"We have urgent matters today, and we don't have time to take care of you. You should go to the government and surrender yourself. If you let me know that you didn't go, your Peony Building will be removed from the capital tomorrow. I, Muxi, will do what I say."

The gangsters were shocked when they heard the name "Musi", "But Commander Mu?"

Mu Xi was silent, and his lazy response was obviously acquiescing.

Everyone was like eggplants beaten by frost, completely wilted.

This imperial commander is someone close to their emperor, even if they are the backer of the Peony Tower, he can only bow his head and make amends.

"Commander Mu has already spoken, how dare brothers not listen? But, the girl in our building..." Among the gangsters, the leader asked falteringly.

The girl in white trembled when she heard the words, and said in mourning, "I... I won't be able to go to the Peony Tower after I die. I beg Commander Mu to save my little girl's life. Even if my little girl is a slave, I have to repay the Commander!"

Mu Xi was in a bit of a dilemma. Such a beautiful orphan girl was left alone in the capital. Except for the Peony Building, she might not even have a place to live. Should she be brought home and asked her mother to take care of her?
No, my mother was anxious to make a marriage for herself, and seeing that he brought a beautiful girl back, what if I overthink it?
I can't wait for this girl to go back, and I can't leave it alone. It seems that I can only let her live in Qiulan's yard first, and be with Xie Yan who is recovering from illness.

Mu Xi looked at Qiulan begging for help, but Qiulan didn't have any affection for the girl who had troubled Yuanyuan, her eyes widened, and she said crisply: "Since you don't want to go back to Peony Building, then go to the inn!"

She took out an ingot of silver from her purse and threw it to the girl in white: "This ingot of silver is enough for you to find a good inn for a whole month. During this time, it is enough for the yamen to close the case and send you back to your hometown." gone."

The girl in white couldn't help clenching her hands hidden in her sleeves, a ray of resentment floated in her eyes.

She lowered her head and didn't go to pick up the silver. She said pitifully, "However, the little girl's parents died three years ago. If she returns to her hometown, she can only rely on her uncle's family for a living. If you can sell the little girl for the second time, even if the Yamen case is closed, the little girl... dare not go back."

Qiu Lan sneered: "So, you plan to rely on Mu Xi? It's really hard to be a good person these days!"

At this time, Zhuang Yuanyuan was naturally helping her family, and said bluntly: "I think you should give up, my cousin already has a sweetheart, and it is impossible for my aunt to allow him to take a concubine. If you climb high, you should choose Someone else!"

Before, Zhuang Yuanyuan didn't volunteer to help. She went to the store to buy needlework, and as soon as she walked out, the girl in white grabbed her arm and begged her for help.

Just as she was pulling the workshop, Zhuang Yuanyuan was blocked by those gangsters. Before she reported her cousin's name, these people started to attack her. She was also implicated and had to run with the girl in white.

This is simply a disaster. Although she sympathizes with the girl in white, she doesn't like her at all, and even hates her.

At this moment, the girl in white was crying even more, and looked at Mu Xi pleadingly: "Commander Mu, it's not like this, how dare I think so..."

Mu Xi was at a loss when he saw him, and he couldn't cope with such a thing. He heard Qiulan's sullen voice: "Mu Xi, if you dare to take him home, you can think about how to explain it to your aunt!"

Mrs. Mu is concentrating on getting her son engaged!
Mu Xi quickly shook his head, and said to the girl in white with more energy than he could: "You'd better...stay at the inn for a while, your uncle's place, I'll say hello to the government, let them beat the people in your uncle's family, no I will treat you harshly again."

"Anyway, you're old enough, you can get married soon, and you won't be able to live in your uncle's house for long."

The girl in white shuddered, leaned over and kowtowed, picked up the silver ingot, and stood up pitifully: "Master Commander saved my little girl, how dare my little girl trouble you? Thank you, sir, for giving me the silver. My little girl... bid farewell!"

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and walked into the crowd delicately like a willow supported by a weak wind.

Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of woman who sheds tears at every turn would give him a headache when he saw it, and a generous and open woman like Qiulan is easy to get along with.

Seeing this, Qiulan curled her lips: "I clearly gave the money, why didn't she come to thank me?"

Zhuang Yuanyuan chuckled: "If you are a man, and you have the official position of commander of the Imperial Guard, maybe they will thank you!"

Mu Xi instinctively felt that what he said at this time was wrong, and it was best not to say anything. He looked at Zhuang Yuanyuan and said lightly: "Cousin, I will take you home first. Although there are few major cases in this capital , but it’s not safe for a woman to go out on the street alone, and when she goes out in the future, she must bring two servants with her.”

Zhuang Yuanyuan nodded, and said sincerely: "Thank you for my cousin's lesson, I will remember it all."

At this time, she and this cousin also got close.

Send Zhuang Yuanyuan back to the dealer, and told her not to go out casually recently, after guarding the door at night, Mu Xi and Qiu Lan turned to the palace.

The horse passed through the row upon row of residential houses, and arrived at the place where the rich and powerful gathered.

The flow of people here is much thinner, the high red walls on both sides are deep, and even the sound of the wind is much quieter.

When passing the courtyard wall of Huajun Palace, Mu Xi couldn't help slowing down his horse, looked up at the high wall, his nose fluttered a few times, his body tensed up, and his right hand quietly held the scabbard!
