Ministry of Justice?
I want to meet her...well, she is also a woman in the boudoir?
Why do I feel like we are such different people?
Although Baili Feiyue did not think of herself as a thief and did not feel guilty, the first thing she thought of was Duan Rong's death.
Otherwise, I really can’t think of a reasonable reason at the moment.
This is quite interesting.
He ordered Su Yi to take the guards to Qingfeng Pavilion to boil the herbs for Ling Duannian, and then he calmly followed the butler to the living room.
Before entering, I saw that in addition to Ling Sheng, the father, there were two people in the living room wearing official robes with completely different temperaments. One of them was a gentle and elegant man in his thirties, with a similar look to Mu Qing. The other was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a smile on his face all the time, a bit like a smiling fox, and he was not a simple character at first glance.
It was normal for him to glance from the two of them to Ling Sheng again, "Dad, you're looking for me?"
Ling Sheng also introduced them calmly, "Jing'er, come here quickly, this is Lord Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of Justice, and this is Lord Mu Shilang. The two gentlemen have something to ask you."
Baili Feiyue bowed slightly as a gesture of respect, and said openly, "What do you two adults want to ask?"
Minister Wang looked at her and praised her, "As expected of a daughter of a general, Miss Ling San has an extraordinary demeanor."
Ling Sheng is a general and a father. Hearing such polite words, he still felt relieved. "Thank you. She doesn't know the rules very well. If Lord Wang has anything to say, just ask her directly."
"Then I will ask directly. I hope General Ling will not mind. We are just doing business." Shangshu Wang looked at Baili Feiyue with a sharp gaze. "A few days ago, the head of the East Factory, Lord Duan, was assassinated in Chunhe Garden on the outskirts of the city. I'm sure Miss Ling has heard about this."
"I heard about it. The East Factory and your Ministry of Justice are arresting people with injuries indiscriminately all over the capital. I guess I have to hear about it."
"Ahem..." Ling Sheng coughed awkwardly.
Baili Feiyue ignored him and continued to speak frankly, "I am telling the truth, Dad, why are you coughing? I still have to say it anyway."
Since you've come to me, there's no need to come here for no reason.
How can she put all the power of speech in the hands of the other party and let others lead her by the nose? She must then turn the tables!
Don't think that if you compliment her that she is the daughter of a general and has an extraordinary bearing, she will take it seriously and lose her mind.
But Shangshu Wang's face was obviously not as thick as that of an ordinary person. He was slightly choked by her words, and continued to laugh, "This is indeed the negligence of our Ministry of Justice. Because we have no clue about the murderer, we came up with such a stupid method. Miss Ling San is telling the truth."
"My Lord, it is much more pleasing to hear when you put it this way. I am not one to beat around the bush. If you two have any questions, just ask directly."
Minister Mu beside him also had a little smile in his eyes. He had been listening to Qing'er talking about this Third Miss Ling in his ear, and his ears were calloused. Seeing is believing. After seeing her, she was indeed different from other girls in the boudoir. No wonder she smelled like his own daughter... Ahem, they had similar temperaments.
Minister Wang glanced at Minister Mu silently, expressing his dissatisfaction with his obvious attitude of slacking off. Then he asked Baili Feiyue, "On the night when Lord Duan was assassinated, was Miss Ling the whole time at Zuixianju? And when did she meet Master Shangguan Xun of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Before Baili Feiyue could speak, she added, "Mr. Shangguan Xun appeared in Chunhe Garden that night. Although Mr. Shangguan Xun is obviously not the kind of person who would do such evil things, we need to confirm the whereabouts of the people who appeared in Chunhe Garden that night. Miss Ling San, you are one of the people who saw Mr. Shangguan Xun that night, so we need to confirm it from you."
"Oh, Shangguan Xun. I'm sorry, sir. I can't even lift my left arm now. It's almost broken. If you want me to say it, then I'd say he's the most likely murderer."
"Uh... Miss Ling San, I hope you won't let personal grudges get in the way. Let's just talk about the facts..."
"I'm just speaking the truth! Sir, do you want to see how broken my arm is? He can pierce my shoulder blade with one sword, so why can't he kill Sir Duan with one sword?" Baili Feiyue's face was full of disdain for watching a good show.
Sword? Shangshu Wang's eyes flashed. Lord Duan didn't die from a sword, but from a strange weapon that they haven't figured out yet.
"Miss Ling San, in fact, when the guards of the Eastern Depot saw Master Shangguan Xun leaving Chunhe Garden, Master Duan was still fine. So, it is unlikely that he is the murderer."
Baili Feiyue looked at him strangely, "Since he can't be the murderer, why are you still wasting your time here asking about him? No wonder there is no clue about the murderer now."
This sentence again left people speechless.
Ling Sheng opened his mouth, "Jing'er!"
Baili Feiyue curled her lips and stopped talking.
Minister Wang laughed, "It seems that Miss Ling is indeed reluctant to talk about Master Shangguan. We are sorry for not thinking carefully. General Ling, we still have official business to attend to. We will take our leave now."
Ling Sheng stood up, "Butler, send the two adults off."
The butler stepped forward and said respectfully, "My lords, please."
Minister Mu stood up, looked at Baili Feiyue, and said gently, "Miss Ling San, please come to our house to play with Mu Qing when you have time."
"Okay, Uncle Mu." Considering that this man is not annoying and is Mu Qing's father, Baili Feiyue can behave like a well-behaved junior.
As soon as the two officials from the Ministry of Justice left, Baili Feiyue met her father's deep, inquiring gaze.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Ling Sheng moved his lips, but in the end he didn't ask anything, "Go down."
Baili Feiyue really left without looking back.
Ling Sheng sighed until her back disappeared.
Duan Rong's death should have nothing to do with this third daughter, right? After all, she only has the ability to treat poisons, and she doesn't have the ability to kill people with real kung fu. That person is still Duan Rong. Even if he has rich practical experience, he can't kill Duan Rong, let alone Jing'er.
Perhaps, because of Jing'er's recent actions, I demonized her and thought too much about her.
Besides, there were Minister Wang and Minister Mu from the Ling Mansion.
"Master Mu, do you think Miss Ling's reaction is abnormal?"
"It's very natural and reasonable." Minister Mu concluded.
"It is indeed very natural and reasonable." But it was too natural and reasonable. Generally speaking, no matter if they have done anything bad or not, when ordinary people meet officials, they will feel guilty. Although Miss Ling San is not from an ordinary family, no other official lady can do what she does.
If it were someone else, even if they managed to remain calm because of their status, there would be some signs of deliberateness.
This Miss Ling San is truly a natural beauty!
Minister Mu laughed again, "So, Lord Wang, you still think there is something fishy about her."
