Quick Wear: A Newbie Goes to Pet Her Husband
Chapter 167 1 Idiot
At this moment, no one knew who had tipped off the government, but the soldiers came here and surrounded everyone with spears in hand.
The leader of these officers and soldiers was Liu Xiliu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, who happened to be passing by with her troops. When she heard someone shouting "Catch the criminal", she led her soldiers to rush in the direction of the sound without any hesitation.
When they saw that the people being surrounded were the prime minister's son and son-in-law, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and the niece of the current Empress Dowager, Ye Jianrong, they were all stunned.
Liu Xiliu hesitated for a moment, but soon regained her composure. She did the prime minister a favor, so she took the initiative to nod to Ling Nianxiao, as a greeting.
After all, these people are the descendants of the rich and powerful. If they are not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary trouble. However, despite this, she is still full of doubts: Why are these people being hunted down as criminals? Is there any hidden reason behind this?
At this moment, Ling Nianxiao's face was also very gloomy. He knew very well that this incident might cause an uproar and even affect his mother's future. But things had come to this point, and he could only bite the bullet and face the situation. At the same time, he was also secretly thinking about how to deal with it...
Li Baoli couldn't help but smile when she saw that it was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. In that smile, there was a bit of contempt and pride. She said loudly: "Liu Xiliu! You came at the right time! The son of the prime minister and his wife committed a murder. I felt sorry for them, so I helped you catch them out of mercy! How about it? Thank me!"
After saying this, Li Baoli raised her head with a smug look on her face, as if she was waiting for Liu Tingliu to express her gratitude to her.
However, her words not only made Liu Xiliu's face gloomy, but also Ye Jianrong frowned. However, Ye Jianrong quickly changed her mind. After all, with her here, even if the Minister of Justice didn't give Li Baoli face, could he not give her face? Thinking of this, her brows relaxed instantly.
At this moment, only Lin Qingyan noticed the change in Liu Xinliu's expression, and thought to herself: Li Baoli's words might have touched Liu Xinliu's minefield.
You know, although Li Baoli's mother was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, she was only half a rank higher than Liu Xi. Moreover, according to common sense, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice were not closely related, and Liu Xi and Liu Xi might not buy her mother's account, not to mention that Li Baoli herself had no official position at all, and she dared to be so disrespectful to a vice minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Didn't she see that he just nodded to Nian Xiao? He didn't even pay attention to you and Ye Jianrong, but Li Baoli was still there smugly, she really didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was! What a fool.
"Sir Liu, I am Nian Xiao's wife, Lin Qingyan." Lin Qingyan said as she bowed respectfully to Liu Xiliu.
(Since Lin Qingyan did not hold any official position, even though she was the prime minister's son-in-law, the author still decided to let her modestly call herself this)
"Sir Liu, now that it has come to this, I implore you to do justice for me and adjudicate this confusing matter." Lin Qingyan calmly and neither servilely nor arrogantly recounted the entire incident.
"Ordinarily, this matter should have been settled, but now Li Baoli is pestering me and my husband. She had ulterior motives, and now her behavior makes me suspicious and suspect that she has other intentions. In addition, I also feel that there seems to be a hidden story about the murder case. Please ask Lord Liu to thoroughly investigate the truth."
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she clasped her fists, nodded, and bowed without getting up.
Regardless of what the matter was, just Lin Qingyan's attitude made Liu Xiliu feel very comfortable. Especially with Li Baoli there for comparison.
At this moment, the women standing by all bowed to Liu Xiliu and said in unison: "We greet the Minister!"
Although these people were just ordinary women, they were not afraid of these dignitaries because the officials in the Jinguo area were dedicated to practical affairs, especially during the severe drought this year. There were even many senior officials sent from the capital who were very friendly when investigating certain things.
"Please stand up quickly." Liu Xiliu walked forward and gently supported Lin Qingyan's arm. Then he waved to the group of women, indicating that they should stand up.
"What are you gathering here for?" Liu Xi first asked the group of women, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"My lord! We women are here for a reason! Just now we heard this young lady shouting to catch the criminal, and we thought it was a fugitive from the imperial court who was escaping. And this young lady kept telling us that the young lady and the young man were the murderers, so we followed them. But now it seems that things may not be as this young lady said." Lin Da pointed at Li Baoli and answered with a somewhat excited tone.
Liu Xiliu frowned slightly, glanced at Li Baoli, and then turned her gaze to Ye Jianrong beside her. She noticed that both of them looked very ugly, and she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.
In fact, Liu Xiliu knew these two people a little bit. When she was handling cases in the capital, she often heard people complaining and scolding them in private. Although everyone did not dare to speak out loudly for fear of getting themselves into trouble, the dissatisfaction was difficult to conceal.
These two people have made many small mistakes in the capital, but they have cleverly avoided big mistakes. Perhaps it is because of this that the people are helpless and angry with them. Liu Xiliu thought to himself and shook his head.
It was unexpected that he was involved in a murder case this time! Thinking back to Ling Nianxiao, she knew him a little bit as he was the best man among women. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and his temperament was as noble and pure as a fairy. If his mother was not the prime minister of the dynasty, he would have met with an accident long ago.
In comparison, Liu Xiliu naturally preferred to trust this first man and his polite wife, rather than the two notorious and evil bullies in Beijing. After all, communicating with the former can make people feel like spring breeze, while the latter will only make people feel disgusted.
"You...you bunch of unruly people, Liu Xiliu, don't listen to their nonsense. I helped you catch two fugitives, why don't you catch them quickly? And those women are their accomplices, catch them all! Put them in jail!"
When Li Baoli heard that these lowly poor people were actually finding ways to speak up for Lin Qingyan and the others, she became so angry that she jumped up and down on the spot.
"How dare you! I have my own rules when handling cases!" Liu Xiliu really couldn't help but Li Baoli yelling at her.
