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

Chapter 16 This is still a scammer

Li Qingmo asked again: "What did you hear on the night of the accident? Tell me again exactly what you said in prison."

Nan Mingkun was eager to express himself and leave a good impression on the regent, so he rushed to speak.

"Wen Jin invited me out for a drink that night. When I passed by the door of Qi Zihao's room, I heard him and the book boy arguing."

Li Qingmo held two walnuts in his hand at some point and kept rubbing them, "Can you hear what they were arguing about?"

Nan Mingkun nodded: "Qi Zihao's book boy persuaded him to buy the test questions for the autumn exam, but Qi Zihao didn't want to, so the two quarreled."

Shen Wenjin also echoed: "Yes, Qi Zihao's book boy also has a place to participate in the autumn examination. I guess he wanted it himself, but Qi Zihao was too stubborn and insisted on reporting it. The two of them had a fierce quarrel and even broke it. Something happened, and Nan Mingkun and I could hear it clearly outside."

Xia Rui snorted coldly at Qi Gui: "This is your motive for killing Qi Zihao!"

Nan Mingkun and Shen Wenjin glared at Qi Gui.

"Oh, it turns out you were the one who killed the man!"

"You killed someone and you want to put the blame on us. The thief calls for catching the thief!"

Qi Gui had no chance to defend himself, especially when Li Qingmo's cold eyes fell on him. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing.

"Qi Gui, can you plead guilty?" Li Qingmo asked.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, the common people did not mean it." Qi Gui cried and kowtowed.

People in the yard cast disdainful glances.

"It turns out he really killed him!"

"I even killed my own young master. It's in vain that I felt pity for him before and even gave him some scraps of silver to buy a coffin for Qi Zihao."

"I gave it too."

"How much did you give?"

"I gave five taels, what about you?"

After checking the accounts together, everyone suddenly discovered that the total amount of money given to Qi Gui was more than 30 taels.

Nan Xi: "..."

[This is still a fraudster, awesome. 】

Qi Gui was arrested, but Nan Mingkun and Shen Wenjin were not released. The leak of the autumn test questions still needs to be investigated.

The students who had been defrauded of money rushed to the government office and lined up to register the amount of money they had defrauded, waiting for the government officials to collect the money from Qi Gui and distribute it one by one.

Nan Huaidong and Jiang Wan found the Regent's Palace.

The guards at the door stopped them and scolded them sharply: "How dare you! How can you enter the Regent's Palace at your own convenience? Leave quickly, or else you will be served with sticks!"

"We are Nan Xi's parents and we are here to find her."

"Yes, we haven't seen our daughter for a long time. She has been stubborn since she was a child and is afraid that she might offend the prince. Let's give her some advice."

The two guards looked at each other.

Brother Xia said that Miss Nan is very special to the prince and should be treated well.

Are these two people the parents of Miss Nan?

"Wait, I'll make a report." After finishing speaking, one of the guards turned around and entered the courtyard.

……

Yunyan Pavilion.

Nan Xi was playing on the swing, grinning and in a great mood.

Unexpectedly, helping to find the real culprit actually increased my merit points by 10. What an unexpected bonus.

"Miss Nan, these are the fruits and cakes sent by the prince." Han Pian brought them over, and her awe for Nan Xi deepened.

I have never cared about anyone so much before.

Nan girl is the first.

Nan Xi stabilized the swing with his feet, walked to the stone table aside and started eating. When Han He and Shaoyao were not paying attention, he put all the rest of the food into the space.Food storage is essential.

What should I do if I encounter any difficulties in the future and become hungry?
"Miss Nan."

Hanlian came back and was shocked to see that the plate was empty.

The girl actually ate them all?
Could it be that you didn't have a good lunch just now?
"What's wrong?" Nan Xi looked calm.

Anyway, as long as she doesn't admit it, no one will know where those fruits and cakes have gone.

Hanlian: "Someone came from the front to report that Miss Nan's parents are here. I asked them to take them to the front hall. I asked Miss Nan not to worry. It's too late to freshen up before going over."

Shaoyao came in holding several new sets of clothes, "I have asked people to make some new clothes for Miss Nan. Miss Nan, please come and try them out first."

No woman could refuse such a temptation, so Nan Xi quickly followed Han Lian and Shaoyao back to the house.

In the front hall, Nan Huaidong and Jiang Wan were looking around with surprised eyes.

"It's so big here."

"Look at the ornaments, any one of them would be expensive."

"You damn girl, you are so lucky. With such virtue, you can be favored by the regent."

"You don't want your life, how dare you say such words in this place."

The two couples lowered their heads and muttered. Suddenly, a pair of black satin brocade boots appeared in front of them.

Xia Rui: "How brave! Why don't you kneel down when you see the prince?"

Nan Huaidong and Jiang Wan were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed: "The grassroots people/women have seen the regent."

Li Qingmo walked to the front and sat down, still holding the two walnuts in his hands.

Lowering his eyes, his scrutinizing gaze swept between the two people on the ground.

"Who are you from Nanxi?" he asked.

Nan Huaidong raised his head: "The grassroots man is her father."

Jiang Wan: "I am her mother."

Li Qingmo played with the walnuts and spoke in an unhurried tone, as cold as if there was no warmth at all: "Since she is her father and mother, why didn't I see you at the Pingshi Town execution ground?"

Jiang Wan quickly explained: "We were also afraid of touching the scene and hurting our feelings. The white-haired person gave the black-haired person away, so we left that sad place with our family."

Nan Huaidong nodded: "That's right."

Li Qingmo snorted softly, "Afraid of touching the scene and hurting your feelings? So you are so anxious that you don't even have time to collect the body of your biological daughter?"

He emphasized the word 'biological' very seriously.

It was so heavy that Nan Huaidong and Jiang Wan's hearts skipped a beat, thinking that they were hallucinating.

The two of them felt uneasy, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Li Qingmo raised his eyes with a faint look, "Since you don't want her, the Regent's Palace does. For the sake of you raising her for many years, I allow you to make a request, please tell me."

Nan Huaidong and Jiang Wan did not expect that such a good thing would really happen to their family.

"Your Majesty is really joking. It's not too late for our precious daughter, how can we not want her?"

"Yes, we have loved her the most since she was a child, and even let her study in a private school. This is a treatment that ordinary boys do not get."

The two couples reached a tacit understanding with just one look.

Only by putting a long line can you catch big fish.

As long as they insist on loving that dead girl, the backstage of the Prince Regent's Palace is destined to belong to their family, and they can even walk around the capital in the future!
Li Qingmo had seen countless people, and he could see their little thoughts at a glance. He smiled lowly, and his whole body was filled with coldness.

"Do you think this king is so easy to fool?"

The tone was still unhurried, with a slight upward pitch at the end, and a coldness that couldn't be ignored.
