I don't know how many chicken legs I ate. I was tired of them, so I changed my taste and ate goose legs instead.
Big white goose: “…”
You are a very bad woman. I am a mount, a mount. I cannot stew a goose in an iron pot, and I cannot eat goose legs.
After feeding the goose with grass, Chu Xiaoxiao gave the goose a glass of water. The goose couldn't wait to pounce on it and drank up all the water.
The "three palaces and six courtyards" nearby, even the geese and their descendants, didn't get a single drop.
Naituanzi was very happy in her heart, hehehe! Eat her grass, drink her water, then it's hers.
Goose fed with spiritual spring water and spiritual grass must be tastier than ordinary geese. When she grows up and the goose can no longer carry her, she will be killed and eaten.
Big white goose: “…”
Woo woo woo! You have such a cruel heart. I carried you on my back and served as your mount, but you wanted to eat my flesh.
Not a human being, so bad, simply not a human being.
Chu Xiaoxiao raised her chin high and proudly pulled the rope and pulled the big white goose to her yard.
Zhenzhu and Yang were both stunned. They couldn't understand why this little ancestor wanted to raise a goose for no reason and let someone carry her on its back.
They are really children, they do whatever they want.
After leaving the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Wang Mingkui went straight to his own office and ordered someone to call Li Xu.
As soon as Li Xu arrived, Wang Mingkui sized him up and shouted, "Catch him."
The bailiff pushed Li Xu to the ground without saying a word.
Li Xu was just a clerk, responsible for sorting out the records of the Jingzhao prefectural yamen. He was weak and could not be a match for the yamen runners.
He was caught in a few seconds, his hands tied behind his back, and he was forced to kneel on the ground.
"Sir! I wonder what crime Li committed? Why did you arrest Li without saying a word?"
"Humph!" Wang Mingkui stared at him with a serious face, "Li Xu! I have already found out that you put a curse on your cousin, Master Li."
What? Li Xu's eyes flashed with guilt. How could the adults find out such a secret matter?
Wang Mingkui, who had been handling cases for many years, saw the guilt on Li Xu's face and suddenly understood everything.
What the Duke of Protectorate said was absolutely right, Li Xu was the murderer.
He poisoned his cousin, causing him to die, and then adopted himself as the son of his uncle, becoming the only heir of the Li family.
Whoever benefits is the most suspicious.
He forgot the eternal truth.
Slapping his forehead in annoyance, Wang Mingkui then ordered: "Take people to Baihua Tower to capture a Red Lotus Madam. That old woman can cast a Gu, so you all should be careful."
When Li Xu heard the name of Madam Honglian, his face turned completely pale.
It's over. It's all over.
Your Excellency even knows the origin of the poisonous insects, what else does he not know? If he doesn't tell me, he will be tortured with various instruments and will be half-crippled if not dead.
Scholars are tough, but Li Xu was not tough at all. Wang Mingkui didn't even torture him and he confessed everything.
"Sir! I didn't want to do this. I was forced to do it by Madam Honglian."
Wang Mingkui was stunned: "She forced you? Why?"
Li Xu burst into tears: "The specific reason is not very clear, I was greedy for a girl named Caiqing in Baihua Tower, and that maid was the one who served Caiqing.
One day, the nanny took a hard line and refused to let Miss Caiqing see her students. She didn't see them for ten days, and it was no use going to the madam.
The madam said that Miss Caiqing was the granddaughter of Madam Honglian, and that they were not from Baihualou, but were just sojourners in the building.
"Sojourning?"
Wang Mingkui sneered and thought, Li Xu! Do you have a pig brain? How could Baihualou be occupied by someone? Besides, that Honglian nanny is not from Dongsheng. Those who can raise Gu worms are all from Nanyun Country.
Baihua Tower actually dared to take in people from Nanyun Country. He will definitely not let them go easily this time.
If he disliked someone, he would instigate others to poison and kill them. Even if he, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, had three heads and six arms, he would still be too busy to handle it.
If the capital city is in panic because of poisonous insects and there is no way to deal with it, can the emperor forgive him?
"Yes." Li Xu was afraid that Wang Mingkui didn't understand, so he explained the meaning of living as a guest, "Miss Caiqing pays money to Baihua Tower every day and does business in Baihua, which is living as a guest.
Later, I had no choice but to ask Aunt Honglian what conditions must be met for me to meet Miss Caiqing.
She gave me a small bottle with a bug in it, and told me that I could only see Cai Qing if I put that bug in my cousin's food and drink and I could take down my cousin's position."
"And then? You did what she said?"
"Yes, I did what she said. My cousin died. I took over his position, and Miss Caiqing looked at me differently."
"idiot!"
Wang Mingkui was so angry that he picked up the brush on the table and smashed it on Li Xu's face. He originally wanted to take the inkstone, but he was afraid that if he smashed it, he would be in trouble.
It was not a good thing for the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture to beat a prisoner in court. If he was reported to the emperor, he might even lose his official position.
But he was angry! He had to work hard to get Li Xu's job. In order to comfort his cousin, Mr. Li, his mother forced him to find a job for Li Xu.
Now, he has the murderer next to him. What if one day he dislikes him and sends a little bug to him?
Wouldn't he then die quietly like Master Li?
Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end and I break out in a cold sweat.
Oh my god! Who the hell has he got around?
"The people of Nanyun Country look at you differently? Are you dissatisfied that you didn't die quickly enough?"
Li Xu ran away trembling with fear. He knew that the things given by Aunt Honglian were strange, but he had no idea that they were from Nanyun Country.
The bailiffs arrived at Baihua Tower. There were few customers there in broad daylight, so they quickly captured Madam Honglian.
At the same time, he brought back a girl, and she insisted on coming with him.
There was no choice but to bring them all back.
That girl is Cai Qing.
Li Xu was very worried when he saw her: "Cai Qing! Why are you here?"
Cai Qing did not answer but asked: "Li Xu! What's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling in the court? Did you do something wrong?"
Matron Honglian looked calm: "What mistake could there be? It's just that the incident was dug up. Li Xu! Don't worry! Matron will accompany you on the road to the underworld."
Li Xu shook his head so hard that the hat on his head fell off.
"No, no, no, Aunt Honglian! I don't want to die yet. You forced me to do this. It's all your fault. It has nothing to do with me."
Madam Honglian sneered and cursed with disdain: "Idiot!"
Li Xu: “…”
Why am I always the one who gets hurt? Everyone calls me a fool, but what is wrong with me? Can you explain it to me instead of just scolding me?
Cai Qing looked at Li Xu, then at Nanny Honglian, and then smiled, her smile full of relief.
"Go with peace of mind. I will prepare a thin coffin and bury you properly. I will never let you be thrown into a mass grave without a burial place."
