Chapter 38: True Colors

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Xie Hanci explained: "It is mixed with quicklime, and quicklime will heat up when it comes into contact with water. You can touch it, this bowl is really hot. The palm of the hand is hot and red, and the long air duct is really not pretending. ”

The old county king did not give up, and asked again: "Then can you make the peach branch stand up in the bowl?" ”

Seeing him like this, Xie Hanci was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Then I'll listen to the king of the county, try again?"

This time, she didn't even let go of the water, picked up the peach branch just now, tossed the weight with her hand, and immediately understood in her heart, understood his trick, and directly put the peach branch in her hand vertically to the bottom of the bowl, and the peach branch stood up in an instant.

"The wind path chief is still too conservative, in fact, you have this delicate mechanism, you can do it directly, wouldn't it be even more supernatural."

Xie Hanci said and turned the bowl upside down, with the mouth of the bowl facing down. I saw that the peach branch was head-down, still firmly inserted at the bottom of the bowl, as if it was stuck with this bowl, it was like an evil magic.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, and Yi Huan's expression was the most exaggerated, and she opened her mouth wide to look like she could stuff a whole egg.

Xie Hanci's performance did not end, she picked a few more peach branches, like throwing darts, and inserted them into the bottom of the bowl with a brush.

Feng Qian's face at the moment was like the air-dried sand after harvesting the crops in autumn, dry and ugly.

Xie Hanci shrugged, "It's nothing, the bottom of the bowl and the incision of the peach branch are inlaid with magnets, and they will be attracted together when they are close to each other." This is also a relatively labor-intensive mechanism, and ordinary craftsmen do not have such skills. Hey, the chief of the air duct, you better keep it alive, this thing is not easy to do now. ”

Seeing this, Steward Wang's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

Xie Hanci was taken aback by his kung fu of kneeling, the chief butler of the dignified county palace had already knelt three or four times today. She couldn't help but worry about his knees, and she didn't know if he had put knee pads on his knees, because his legs and feet were expected to have problems when he was old.

"The old slave was overlooked, and introduced this magic stick into the mansion, so that he could confuse the people with this evil words. Damn the old slave! ”

He kowtowed as he spoke, "It's just that he is too similar, and almost everything he says is true, and the wise as the king of the county are all deceived by him, and a stupid person like an old slave will inevitably fall for him." ”

Xie Hanci gave him a thumbs up in his heart, Steward Wang first admitted his mistake, and then secretly said that this person acted too well, even the king of the county You have been fooled, and it is normal for me to be deceived by him.

"Steward Wang, what you said is really good, every word is on point." Xie Hanci applauded him twice and walked behind him unhurriedly.

Steward Wang looked at Xie Hanci and didn't understand why she had just revealed the true face of the Wind Chief, and why she suddenly spoke for herself, but her intuition told him that this was not a good thing.

"Steward Wang, you just said that this wind chief is a magic stick, and it is true that he used some tricks, but he did say that he was right about the birth date of the county king and some information in the house, these people with a heart can be investigated, but they can say that the princess of the county is pregnant, what can you say?"

Steward Wang suddenly felt that the cold hairs on his body stood up, and he just wanted to slap his two mouths hard, he shouldn't have taken such a disaster for the five hundred taels of silver tickets, but the matter had come to this, so he could only continue to defend himself.

"Xu yes...... Coincidental, or maybe ......" He looked at Xie Hanci's fox-like cunning eyes, and swallowed the last half of the sentence "Maybe he still has some real skills".

Xie Hanci sneered, "Steward Wang, you have to think about it." I can carry this matter by myself, can I carry it? Don't forget, this is not just a magic stick to the door, there is also a human life involved, the female body is still buried in the garden, and the murderer has not been identified. ”

As she spoke, she leaned down and added softly in his ear: "I saw you fish out of the pond in the morning a women's shoe, I think about it now, it is exactly the same as the one in Axi's mouth, you didn't seem to want me to notice that shoe at the time, is there something in it?" ”

Steward Wang was so frightened that he directly made a swing on the ground, two tears squeezed out of the wrinkled corners of his eyes, he looked at the princess with pleading, walked to her on his knees, hugged her feet, and cried with tears.

"Princess Jun, you should have pity on me, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child under me. If I admit it, they won't survive. It's not that I don't want to carry it, I really don't know anything, and if I am arrested, I don't know what to say. ”

The princess pulled her foot out of the butler's arms and took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't hide it.

"I asked him to find a master and find a way to stop this corpse from being dug up."

The old county king looked at the county princess in disbelief, "Why?" You killed people? ”

Seeing that the princess didn't speak, the old princess pressed his temples and had a splitting headache. This woman is still pregnant with her own flesh and blood in her womb, and he can't beat or scold her now, let alone give her up and send her to the government.

The princess lowered her eyes, and the two small lights lit in the garden flickered on and off, making it impossible to see her expression.

Xie Hanci walked to the side of the princess of the county and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Princess of the county, if you insist on taking this matter on yourself, you will harm others and yourself." Sometimes what you see with your eyes is not the truth, you have to look with your heart and think with your brain. ”

The princess raised her eyes and looked at Xie Hanci. What do she mean by that? She found out that she did such a ridiculous thing in such a big circle to cover up for Li Mingchen?

Or is she just cheating on her? This little girl has only been here for a few days, how would she know? Was it because of the handkerchief that fell out in the afternoon that made her suspicious?

The look in her eyes at Xie Hanci was very complicated, mixed with shock, suspicion, and pleading.

This secret hidden in her heart, once she sees the light of day, neither she nor Li Mingchen can gain a foothold in this family. No, if this matter spreads, his career and his future marriage will be affected.

Anyway, her life is over, but he is different, there seem to be countless ants gnawing in her heart, and she subconsciously grabbed Xie Hanci's arm. `

Xie Hanci patted the back of her hand lightly, as if to comfort her, and then she cleared her throat.

"The princess of the county is in charge of the affairs of the entire mansion and does her best. As the princess and mother of the county, it is common to not want people in the house to be suspected. It's just that there's something wrong with it. “

The princess of the county looked relaxed, and the whole person relaxed, she understood what Xie Hanci meant, and immediately changed to the tone of an elder, and followed her words.

"Yes, it's all my fault, it's me who complicates things. I felt soreness in my lower abdomen that night, and I wanted to go out and go around, and as soon as I walked into the garden, I heard the woman's cry for help, and I followed the sound to the lake, and who knew that there was the body of the dancing girl next to the king that night, and when I went closer to check, the woman was already out of breath. ”

Yi Huan was very puzzled, "Mother, then you should also report to the official the next day, if the dancing girl falls into the water by herself, it would be good for the government to investigate clearly, why let Steward Wang secretly bury the body, isn't this ...... Nothing has become something. ”

The princess of the county admitted: "It was my mother who didn't think it through, and I was also worried at the time." ”

Li Yirong, who had never spoken, suddenly looked at the princess of the county in a daze, and said thoughtlessly: "What are you worried about?" ”

The princess bit her lip, Xu was a little weak-hearted, and did not answer her words directly, but recounted the picture she saw last night.

"I was in the garden at the time, and I saw a figure that looked very good at your eldest brother, and I was also confused, thinking that Brother Ming'er had an argument with that person, and accidentally pushed her into the water. As a mother, I naturally have to think about your eldest brother's career. As the princess of the county, she didn't want a murder in the house, so she thought about hiding the body first. ”

After saying something, it is quite reasonable, but I can't help but scrutinize it carefully. There was a death in the mansion, and the murderer was his stepson, which was indeed harmful to the entire Anchang County Palace.

But for her, the position is a little different, if the eldest son of the princess of Xianjun has an accident, this huge family business will naturally fall into the hands of her son.

Of course, unless she is really virtuous, it is understandable to treat her stepson as a parent, but this stepson is a year older than her, and this maternal love is inevitably a little inexplicable.

It all depends on what the old county king thinks.

The princess secretly glanced at the old princess's expression, he seemed to be persuaded by this set of rhetoric, and his wrinkled brows slowly stretched, and it seemed that he didn't want to delve into it anymore.

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yirong suddenly laughed a few times, looking very crazy.

"Hahaha, haha-"

The king of Anchang County saw that his eldest daughter suddenly went crazy, and thought that she was still dissatisfied with the princess's handling of this matter, so he angrily reprimanded.

"Yirong, what are you laughing at? Your mother also thinks about your eldest brother, and her son is so anxious that she did this foolish thing. ”

Li Yirong took a step back, looked at the eldest brother, then at the princess of the county, and pointed at the king of Anchang and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha. Daddy, are you laughing at her when I do? I'm laughing at you! You're the one who is the most confused. No, me too, I've been kept in the dark for so many years, and I still think that I picked up a lot of bargains. ”

The old county king was confused when he heard this, and asked impatiently, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Concubine Xian's niece and daughter-in-law at that time were not me at all, but her, your princess of Xinjun! It's just because she wants to marry into our Anchang County Mansion that the Xiao family retreats to second. “

Li Yirong sneered and stroked the silk golden hosta on his bun.

"At the beginning, I listened to the servants in the Xiao family talk about this, and I just thought it was chewing the root of my tongue, but now I understand it. It's ridiculous that I still feel that I have climbed the high branch, but I didn't expect this high branch to pick up what others don't want. ”
