Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Chapter 140: Bewitched by Snow Ghost?
Snapped!
Bai slapped him again.

At this time, both sides of Murong Ce's cheeks were swollen.

She was really angry, "Do you know what your words mean to a woman? Rumors kill people, they are baseless, they use their ears as their eyes, they accuse others based on nonsense, and they even You want to drive people out of the capital. When did you learn this dandy style? Is this the monthly money your family gives you for you to use? "

Murong Ce felt extremely wronged, "Mom! I did this all for you!"

There was a cold look on Bai's face: "You don't have to do it for me, and Nan Nan and your father are not that kind of people. What happened today must not happen again, otherwise I will tell your father, and then you will not be in trouble." It’s as simple as two slaps.”

Murong Ce felt that his mother was absolutely crazy for actually defending a scheming woman who had designs on their family!
"Mom, you will regret it sooner or later!"

Murong Ce glared at Nan Xi fiercely, turned around and left.

If he didn't leave, he really couldn't stay. He was slapped in front of so many people, and his inner face was all gone. Tomorrow, people outside might still know how they would laugh at him.

Mom is really too much and doesn't care about him at all.

Mrs. Bai didn't stop him. She watched him leave the government office and turned to face Nan Xi. In addition to concern, she also felt guilty.

"Nannan, I didn't educate my son well, and you were wronged."

Before her daughter could acknowledge her, she was insulted by her brother. I don’t know how such humiliating rumors spread so quickly.

"Don't worry, I will have people deal with the rumors immediately after I return. I will never let anyone hurt you at all," Bai said.

Nan Xi could tell that she was serious.

"Madam, don't you doubt me?"

Bai Shi smiled and said, "I believe you."

Her eyes are sincere, and anyone with a little attentiveness can recognize it.

Nan Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know why, she subconsciously didn't want to be misunderstood by Bai.

"Madam, do you believe the Marquis?" She asked with a smile, "The relationship between Madam and the Marquis is really good."

This kind of banter has a bit of unconcealed intimacy, which narrows the distance between the two.

Bai couldn't help but feel excited. She took Nan Xi's hand and asked tentatively: "Nan Nan, if... if your biological parents find you, are you willing to go home with them?"

Nan Xi had never thought about this problem. He was startled when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, a government servant came over.

"Nanwu Zuo, a body was found in the western suburbs."

Bai took off the cloak on her body: "Then you go and do your work first. The temperature has dropped today, so be careful to keep warm. You put on this cloak first, don't let it freeze."

As he said that, Nan Xi couldn't help but put it on her body without refusing.

"Madam, then you..."

"I'm fine. I'll take the carriage back in a while. Don't tire yourself from work. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me."

After Bai's instructions, she turned around and left.

When Wen welcomed them out, he happened to see Bai getting into the carriage and leaving.

"Mrs. Hou gave it to you?" Wen Ying asked, looking at Nan Xi's cloak.

Nan Xi nodded: "Well, she is really nice." Wen Ying felt a little strange. There were rumors flying all over the world. Mrs. Hou actually cared so much about Nan Nan. She almost treated her as if she was hurting her daughter. This was very inappropriate. normal.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

A quarter of an hour later, Nan Xi and the others arrived at the western suburbs and saw the naked body of a man lying on the snow.

His clothes were scattered around, some of them blown far away by the wind.

When the yamen officer turned his body over with his face facing up, he discovered that there was a smile on his lips.

"This man was actually smiling when he was dying. Could it be that he met the legendary snow ghost and was fascinated by it?"

"It's possible, otherwise why would he even take off his clothes?"

Legends about snow ghosts have always existed, especially in winter, there are always several spectacular incidents of unresolved love between humans and ghosts, making people more and more awe of the mysterious snow ghosts.

Nan Xi said while inspecting the corpse: "This is hypothermia. When a person is exposed to low temperature for a long time, he will subconsciously use the temperature of the body to balance the outside temperature. The warm blood from the heart flows to the whole body, causing a very hot feeling. Illusion, if the person is hungry and tired at this time, and has confusion, they will think that they are very hot, take off their clothes, or even bury themselves in the snow, so that they will feel very comfortable. That’s why I smile.”

After the preliminary autopsy was over, Nan Xi asked the government officials to carry the body back.

Wen Ying and others were still collecting evidence at the scene, and a man and a woman ran over crying.

"father!"

"Father-in-law!"

They cried very sadly.

But Nan Xi found that there were no tears on their faces at all.

"Okay, if you can't cry, don't force it. The body has to be taken back for examination." She was not in a good mood today and didn't want to act with the family of the deceased.

As expected, the two of them were unwilling and stared at Nan Xi.

"Why do you talk like that?"

"Why don't we force ourselves if we can't cry? The person who died was my father-in-law, my husband-in-law's father. How could we not cry?"

Wen Ying stood in front of Nan Xi with a fierce look on his face, "What are you yelling at? Are you the son and daughter-in-law of the deceased? Since you are so sad, why should I tell you why the old man is outside alone in such a cold weather?"

Nan Xi also added: "He froze to death. It's only early winter. If it weren't accompanied by hunger and fatigue, people wouldn't freeze to death so easily."

The man's name is Zhu Tongfei, he is in his 30s and has a slight build. Hearing this, he looked at Nan Xi and argued: "Our family is very busy and we didn't notice that my dad didn't come home yesterday. Besides, he's such an old man. Little kid, don’t you know how to go home when you’re cold?”

His daughter-in-law, whose name is Li Xia, also echoed: "That's right, my father-in-law is away from home every day, and he doesn't even eat at home. We have to be busy working, selling sesame cakes, and taking care of the children. What else can we do?" so many?"

Nan Xi didn't talk nonsense to them anymore, turned around and went back with the government servants who carried the body.

Not long after, her autopsy was completed.

"Sir, it has been determined that the deceased Zhu Daqiang froze to death. There was no food in his stomach. He should not have eaten within a few hours before his death." Nan Xi submitted the autopsy report to Tang Jingjing: "In addition, different things were found on Zhu Daqiang's body. There are many old and new scars, especially on the shoulders and neck. The redness and swelling are very obvious. It should be caused by carrying heavy objects. There are also traces of broken bones. However, without proper treatment, bone spurs have grown on the ankles. It should be very painful after walking for a long time. .”

Wen Ying also just came back from outside: "Sir, my subordinates have investigated and found that Zhu Daqiang had been helping people load and unload goods at the ferry to make money before his death. He was the oldest among the laborers. Originally, the foreman did not intend to use him, but he insisted on his own The foreman kept him because he had to pay less."
